Steal/Keep
drarry | E | 4.5k | be gay do crime, drink wine make love, heists and baths and jewels
Summary: The stealing was all Hermione’s idea, though Harry still doesn’t think anyone would believe him if he told them.
Read on Ao3
Excerpt: Two years after the war he and Ron had already washed out of the Auror corps; disillusioned, distrustful, and disabused of any naive idea that the Ministry was going to do anything remotely useful to redress the balance of wizarding society. Hermione had made it halfway through a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford—John Dee College, naturally—before she quit in a fury at the regressive attitudes and expectations they had for the batch of soon-to-be movers and shakers in wizarding politics.
She had been methodical and thorough and a little bit ruthless, like always, and it hadn’t taken long for her to gather the chosen few around a heavily warded table in the Leaky Cauldron. She’d made another of her charmed parchments—the tongue tying curse, this time, to encourage discretion—and laid out her plan like she was making a class presentation. She’d started out by asking if any of them knew the Muggle story of Robin Hood.
Blaise had signed his name first—he had connections in all the wealthy families, his mother had flirted with or married half of them in her day, and she kept her little black book open for her doted-upon son—he looked gleeful at the prospect of Hermione’s suggestions. Lavender came too, with Parvati. They’d gone straight into business after school (and after Lavender’s recovery) and had become the darlings of the fashion crowd; anyone who was anyone wanted to be seen wearing their designs. Malfoy was there, too, with a sulky look on his face that slowly eroded as Hermione spoke until he almost looked like he might smile.
Read on Ao3
It’s my second @hdsudsfest baby, and this time with the most glorious collaboration from @babooshkart who created two stunning pieces of art and helped craft this hedonistic little world with me (and let me use said art for this wee banner)❤️ huge thanks also to @tackytigerfic @maesterchill and @moonflower-rose for beta and cheer reading this into existence, and @the-starryknight for coming on board and helping make this fest happen for 2021! ❤️🛁

Suds szn has officially come to an end! There were some absolutely remarkable fics and art in this collection, and with Erised and 25 Days posting, it’s easy to get a little overwhelmed with the sheer quantity of fantastic works out there. So I did a little roundup of my favorite sudsy fics and art from this year’s fest for anyone looking for a place to start!
note: some summaries have been truncated for space.
FICS
Ceremonials by @jackvbriefs
“What are you doing here?” Harry said.
This Malfoy blinked up at him, then lifted the bottle of tequila.
“I’m teaching you how to make a drink.”
This fic absolutely blew me away from beginning to end. It follows Harry as he finds himself repeatedly visiting limbo every time he’s on the brink of death - which is, of course, quite often - and this time, he sees a very familiar face. This fic featured incredible worldbuilding in such a short amount of time, had unforgettable ritualistic elements, fostered delicious, fruitful tension, and wrapped it all up with delightful prose.
A Grey Shrike Alighted Upon My Wishbone by @opaleopioid
Cursed to forget everything about Harry Potter, Draco has to kill if he wants a cure.
I haven’t read too many amnesia fics, and now I feel like I don’t need to. This take on the trope was beyond beautiful, heartbreaking, fresh, and unique. It’s so clear to see that every word in this fic was carefully chosen, and it made for a poignant, unforgettable, and challenging (in the best way!) read.
Bacchanal, Bacchanal by @calypsotempete
One crisp morning in September, Harry receives a newspaper and a note. What follows is a descent into a world built by Draco Malfoy full of debauchery, glamour, and clawfoot tubs that wash away the miasma of hard-earned guilt to appease gods that may not exist but offer redemption all the same.
I tried very hard to put this fic down (I HAD THINGS TO DO!!!) and found that I could not. This was an incredible, colorful read, featuring vivid descriptions of Draco’s illicit parties without falling into any of the common tropes and pitfalls of party fics. The piece was anything but one-note - Harry’s internal struggles over the nature of his relationship with Draco paired with Draco’s inability to forgive himself plays out in some incredibly intense scenes that you just need to read to experience for yourself!
Possessed by @shah-writes
tldr; a sentient curse possesses Draco, leading to a whole lot of Auror action, magical theory, and baths!
I was delighted to see horror elements in this fest, and this fic does not disappoint. From beginning to end, I was enraptured by the details of the manifestations of the curse that possessed Draco, the way it intersected his relationship with Harry, and the visceral desperation that kept them fighting for one another. A truly unique read.
Postcards from Italy by iota/@sorrybutblog
A pool party, a nightclub, a bathtub. Draco Malfoy is the last person Harry expected to run into the summer before his third year of university, but he's not complaining (at least not anymore).
… And now for something a little lighter! I love fics that transport me somewhere else, and this one delivered that in spades. The fantastic Drarry banter and expert characterization in this sexy, sudsy visit to Italy made it an immediate favorite of mine - one I store away in my bookmarks to reread when I need a pick-me-up. Highly recommend for anyone who’s missing warm summer months right now!
Just a Phone Call Away by @cavendishbutterfly
Today’s the day: Harry’s getting over his ridiculous crush on Draco Malfoy. Even if Draco’s just invited himself over to wash Harry’s hair. In a very platonic way, obviously. Not intimate at all.
They can just be friends, right?
It wouldn’t be a Suds rec list without some good old fashioned hair washing. This fic has it all - crushes, pining, a fun excuse for the boys to get real close, and - my personal favorite - the most oblivious Harry Potter you’ve ever seen. Perfectly fluffy without losing character, and such soft, sweet intimacy throughout. A great read for anyone who’s looking for something with classic SudsFest vibes.
fic & art combos and art under the cut!
FIC & ART
Casefile: Operation MoD by @m0srael & @fantalf
After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter began having strange, unsettling visions--visions unlike those had by other Seers. Draco Malfoy, lab director in the Department of Mysteries Fate Division has been assigned to sit beside the experimental sensory deprivation tank that Harry uses to stimulate his Inner Eye. What Harry Sees is a mystery. What Draco sees is a vulnerable man, too selfless and trusting for his own good, fading away before his very eyes.
Is Draco the only one who can put a stop to Operation MoD?
If you’re looking for something really unique and fresh, you should definitely start here. The telling of this fic through found materials - Ministry recordings and transcripts as well as Draco’s diary - made it extremely lifelike and hard to forget. But this fic doesn’t rely on its unique storytelling devices to be compelling - far from it, though I hesitate to give too much away.
And as if that wasn’t enough, the fic features incredible and chilling art that is absolutely soul piercing. I definitely did not stare at it for way too long.
On Target by @the-sinking-ship and milkandhoney/ @fictional
A charity dunk tank, some sorry excuses for friends, a Slytherin with freakishly good aim, a (mostly) empty locker room, and one very small towel. Because, apparently, everyone is dying to get Harry Potter wet.
Characterization is a total make or break for me as a reader - and the characterization in this fic made me all but swoon. The detail work in the writing is second to none, with so much depth packed away in a deceptively simple story. Sometimes attention to detail and character drops off when the smut starts, but it was nearly the opposite in this fic, with so much story packed into the spicy parts.
And the art! THE ART. Incredible, vivid use of color, layers upon layers of story and detail, amazing, expressive characters - and we have to talk about the look Harry and Draco are exchanging. Every time I look at this piece (TOO MANY TIMES!!!) I discover something new, and the way this fic and art complement each other is spot on.
ART
The Next Morning, Malfoy Manor by @gryffindorhearts
Auror training has been exhausting, to say the least, and Harry's gotten tired of making do in the tiny Ministry shower cubicles after the daily drills. He's going to prove to Draco that taking him home was the best idea either of them has ever had.
!!!! I just implore you to check this one out for yourself! Draco’s very Draco expression, the amazing attention to detail, the way your mind just fills in an entire story with the art + the title… just incredible.
something in the water by @helle-bored
Art for the Sudsfest prompt: Draco came back from a work trip different, and now Harry's seeing things in the bathwater. Is there something -- someone -- following him? Is there any way to escape it? Can he save Draco (and himself) before it gets them?
I absolutely LOVED this piece - a picture of sweet domesticity with something that’s just… a little… off. A perfect execution of the prompt - and Harry’s boxers are probably my favorite thing on earth.
so rest your weary heart with me. by @bluebutter-art
After the war, Harry starts to use sensory deprivation tanks to induce psychosis-like hallucinations, eager to see those who he has lost one more time.
Draco helps him get back on his feet, replacing the dirty flashbacks of the war with clean memories of love.
A story of what is loved, lost and found.
This was a complete emotional journey of a comic. My eyes definitely did not well up at the end. The art itself is just masterful - it’s impossible to put into words how much expressive, incredible storytelling was wrapped up in this wordless work. If you’re going to click, please be ready to feel things.
Let Go by @bubble-gumhead
The candles flickered, the wax dripping and puddling on the tub.
Harry sucked in a breath, the steam filling his lungs.
"Harry," Draco whispered in his ear, crawling onto his lap. The water was cool against his skin, the glass vials filled with red tinctures glowed and seemed to sigh with every breath Harry took.
"Harry," Draco whispered again, "Just let go."
Blood magic may or may not be my favorite thing ever, so this piece was an instant fav. This art feels like something out of a storybook, and all the details are completely electric - the expressions, the magic, the candles, the blood, the dark night brewing outside of the window. A truly unforgettable contribution to the fest.
I still haven’t gotten around to checking out every single piece in the collection, and I’m sure there are plenty more gems - take a look for yourself <3

As a Christmas gift to myself (💁♀️), I commissioned the lovely and talented @mad1492 to put together some artwork for my @hdsudsfest fic, What Have You Been Hiding Under Those Robes, Professor Malfoy?
To say that I'm pleased with how it turned out would be the understatement of the century, so please, if you have some time, go check out the GIF (OH I DIDN'T MENTION THAT IT'S A GIF!?) on the story on AO3 (it's in Chapter 7) and leave some love for the artist on their tumblr and their Twitter!

Maelstrom, the water told me
draco/harry, E, 11k
Maelstrom (noun, /ˈmeɪl.strɒm/, from the Dutch maalstroom):
1. a large powerful whirlpool
2. a turbulent tidal current
3. an agitated and/or confusing situation or state of mind
4. a magical core disturbance occurring on an adult, not directly caused by trauma
Real life sort of imploded while I was trying to write this fic. There was not one day that I didn’t consider binning the whole thing and dropping the fest. And then, at one point, I did bin the whole thing and then re-wrote it, like an absolute madwoman. This may as well be a child because it really, genuinely, took a village.
I don’t have enough words to thank, first and foremost, actual ray of starlight, @the-starryknight , for letting me cry my frustrations to them every hour of the bloody day. Then, the brilliant @p1013 for her patience and advice and her eyes on the first version of this that gave me the motivation to keep going. The absolute gem that is @sweet-s0rr0w for the nudging and the poking and the prodding and the idea bouncing and just honestly so so so so so much work and time and all the kindness she poured into this. And the fucking wonderful @nv-md for hand holding, for writerly vibes she sent me across the world and the honest-to-god spell I’m pretty certain she cast so that this fic could be done in time. I don’t know if I could have survived binning a whole 20k and starting from scratch without you.
Thank you all. You are heroes and basically co-wrote this.
Also, the most gigantic ever thank you to the @hdsudsfest mods for their understanding and patience: this fest was my first ever fest in the fandom last year and I know I would have been devastated not to do it again this year. Thank you for your kindness, I wouldn’t have made it without the extension that I truly, ridiculously, and shamefully pushed to its very limits.

dive (and have no fear) | Drarry | T | 4,5 k
written for HD SudsFest 2021 prompt by @softlystarstruck
Summary: Draco Malfoy loves baths, but has no access to bathtubs. Harry Potter loves his friends, and has many of said bathtubs. It makes perfect sense to call Draco over to have a bath. ...Right?
How long had it been? Harry couldn’t tell, just that it didn’t matter how, he needed to keep Draco in his life. He couldn’t complicate it with his feelings worn on his sleeve, with not being adult enough to deal with a half-naked, wet and happy and beautiful boy in his house. Harry felt that Draco’s warm, soothing touch found its way to weave itself into Harry’s ribs, to seek his heart out, and to hold, to squeeze, to crush his heart, and he was so afraid what would happen if he withdrew his hands. Would it ever be able to beat without Draco dictating its tempo?
Notes: My first fest fic and first drawing all wrapped in one sudsy treat! I had immense help from @anisaanisa and @rockingrobin69 for which I am eternally grateful. Thank you to the @hdsudsfest mods for organising this fun fest!

It was an absolute pleasure to write for Sudsfest 2021!! The most enormous thanks to @softlystarstruck and @corvuscrowned for hyping me up and helping me make this better!

My Darling, My Everything [Fic Claim]
Hello everyone! This is my fic claim post for my submission for the @hdsudsfest! Thank you to all the amazing mods, and to the lovely readers who have left comments!
In this fic, I tried exploring intimacy, domesticity and uncertainty in a relationship, how I think a relationship can develop any way that feels nice and natural, but it would only gain a direction and a purpose once there is Intention and a commitment to an agreed goal.
This was my first time writing Draco's POV in First Person, which allowed me to explore some things that I couldn't otherwise. Please enjoy! ❤️
Title: My Darling, My Everything
Rating: Explicit
Length: 6,000 words
Tags & Warnings: Post-Hogwarts, Harry Potter Epilogue What Epilogue | EWE, Not Epilogue Compliant, Auror Harry Potter, Healer Draco Malfoy, Nudity, Fluff, Established Relationship, Sharing a Bed, Getting Together, Kissing, Bathing/Washing, Bathtubs, Non-Linear Narrative, POV First Person, POV Draco Malfoy, Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, Roommates, Anal Sex
Summary: Healer Draco Malfoy isn’t sure what is going on between him and his housemate Auror Harry Potter, but he isn’t asking any questions, until Harry returns after a couple of days away and now they have to talk about it. About them.
Excerpt:
I remember Harry’s reaction when I first told him how much I hate this rotation. He gazed at me worriedly and leaned over to hug me. He assured me that it’d be over eventually, and that I could endure it because I was strong.
I think he’s wrong. I’m not strong. I’m just surviving.
But when he's embracing me and murmuring sweet platitudes into my ear, telling me I deserve to live and be loved and the world is a better place with me in it, regardless of my mistakes, I believe him. I give in and start to have the same conviction he does.
I want him to hug me right now.
I want him to do a lot of other things too, but they are highly inappropriate thoughts to have in the middle of work. Good thing my shift (and this blasted rotation) ended twenty minutes ago.
My desperate desire for the Boy Who Lived is aggravating.

Fic Claim: What Have You Been Hiding Under Those Robes, Professor Malfoy?
Rated E, 15K
Summary: After an accidental explosion in the Potions classroom, professors Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy have to utilize the emergency showers at the back of the classroom. Harry is surprised to find that prim & proper Draco is positively covered in tattoos. And… are those nipple piercings?
You can probably tell where this goes.
My sincerest gratitude goes out to the following: InnerLilith for prompting this in the first place. @purplehotmess for providing such valuable feedback as my beta. @corvuscrowned for accepting my sneak peek and always being such a great cheerleader and friend.
And to the @hdsudsfest mods, @tackytigerfic, @shealwaysreads, @the-starryknight, this was SUCH a fun fest to participate in. I loved all of the fics that were written, such a feel-good, fluffy collection. As a first-timer for suds, I felt totally welcomed and appreciated all of the hard work and feedback from all of you.

Drarry Rec: Casefile: Operation MoD by Mosrael
@hdsudsfest started today with a bang.
Casefile: Operation MoD by @m0srael
Drarry | Mature | 13k
After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter began having strange, unsettling visions–visions unlike those had by other Seers. Draco Malfoy, lab director in the Department of Mysteries Fate Division has been assigned to sit beside the experimental sensory deprivation tank that Harry uses to stimulate his Inner Eye. What Harry Sees is a mystery. What Draco sees is a vulnerable man, too selfless and trusting for his own good, fading away before his very eyes.
Is Draco the only one who can put a stop to Operation MoD?
Written as a series of interview transcripts, reports, journal entries and prose text, this is the story of Harry being the Master of Death, desperate enough to seek help from the Ministry, just to be once again used by people in authority. And of Draco, going from observer to rebel, and being brave for the man he loves.
Featuring fucked up Ministry being fucked up, Master of Death!Harry, visions, 'science' experiments, daring rescues and revenge. Burn the Ministry to the ground, I say! Also featuring gorgeous fanart by @fantalf
I love the presentation. I love the art. I love the little details in the official record keeping documents that make this so horrifying and make my heart ache for Harry.
Do yourself a favour and make this the next thing you read. You will not regret it. And then let's bring out the molotov cocktails and raze the Ministry to the ground.

HD Sudsfest: Week Three
Week Three of HD Sudsfest has ended, and once again we are bowled over by the quality of the brilliant bathing beauties we got to showcase.
If you haven't had the chance to catch up on all the sudsy goodness we posted this week, then here's our weekly roundup - dip a toe in and you'll see, the water's perfect!
[FIC] The Metamorphmagus Needs A Bath! by @aprofessionalprotagonist { T | 4k }
Despite doing their best to avoid each other, Draco and Harry are tasked with babysitting Teddy Lupin... together. That's not going to be awkward at all.
❤️You had me hooked from the first hilarious sentence! Draco's narration is so on point here... It's perfect! The last sentence is such a perfect ending too 🥰 Their banter is so sharp and cute throughout, and Teddy is freaking adorable!!! A true chaos monster 😈 Loved this, thanks for sharing! - InnerLilith
❤️adorable 🥺🥺 i found it so endearing how genuinely excited Teddy seemed to be to be with both of them and have “awesome boy time”!!! SO CUTE! you can just see them slowly getting softer and more comfortable with each other as time goes on! so lovely! thank you so much for writing and sharing 💛- onbeinganangel
[FIC] Possessed by @shah-writes { T | 9.1k }
“I think you’d be surprised, Harry, at how much of him is in me,” he says, changing the subject again. Harry scoffs. “Isn’t it the other way around?” “I think I’m evolving,” he whispers. “I feel every memory, every emotion as if it is my own. Maybe it is my own. The line begins to blur. When you are surrounded, overwhelmed with someone else’s thoughts and perceptions, at what point do they become yours?” — tldr; a sentient curse possesses Draco, leading to a whole lot of Auror action, magical theory, and baths! ft. draco malfoy being smart, a rubber duck, and ron weasley being the love of my life.
❤️omg, i could not put this fic down!! the concepts of the curse and the IO and antibodies were so gripping, and the walls between the IO and draco blurring so the IO falls in love with harry ... what an incredible fic! this line at the end absolutely gave me chills: "I have a ravenous will to live. And you will not stop me from feasting." shah, you continue to amaze me with how creative and unique your fics are. thank you for sharing this one!! - corvuscrowned
❤️Ahhhhhh!!!!! This is such an incredible fic! The world building is so excellent and compelling, and then your writing is so visceral, I felt Harry’s desperation and drive and fear, all underlaid by how deeply he cares for Draco!! I also loved how you tied in this wildly creative sentient curse with canon - iota
[FIC] Or Else a Scar by @rain-beee { T | 4k }
Harry shows up on Draco's doorstep, injured and nearly unconscious. As Draco does his best to fix him, he's reminded of another time he had to wash blood off of his hands.
❤️ This is brilliant!! Its so well written and I think you just get their characters perfectly!! Loved reading Draco's POV about sixth year and how much Harry means to him! Loved that Harry kept coming to him, I think that's very Harry James Potter! This was brilliant, thank you - jawgee
❤️This fic is amazing. I just found it for the first time tonight, but I know I will be rereading it many times from now on. Your writing is beautiful, and I am hereby adopting your description of the sectumsempra aftermath into my official headcanon. This is utterly incredible - WouldItWere
[FIC & ART] Steal/Keep by @shealwaysreads and @babooshkart { E | 4.6k, Digital Art }
The stealing was all Hermione’s idea, though Harry still doesn’t think anyone would believe him if he told them.
❤️Oh this was utterly FANTASTIC! I looooove that they're all criminals together and being gay and doing crime and giving the profit to those who really need it... I devoured this! I'm giddy over the two of you working together! Boo's art for this was INCREDIBLE and fit the vibe of the story PERFECTLY, and I was AGOG from the start. This was sharp and sexy and wonderful, the both of you! <333 - lq_traintracks
❤️Fuck-ing-hell. Just gorgeous. And Draco’s face in the first image, his expression is so pleased. The detail of the jewellery is wonderful. The second image is so hot my eyes melted and I’ll be sending you guys the bill for my replacement eyes - Moonflower_Rose
[FIC] to be a bit of warmth (for you) by @softlystarstruck { M | 9.3k }
As some of the only eighth years to return to Hogwarts, Harry doesn't know how he and Draco will manage to be roommates for a whole year without resorting to violence. But Draco is too quiet, and too thin, and wears layers of sweaters that he tucks over his fingers. So they fall into an unspoken routine, one that soothes Harry as much as it helps Draco, one that's so much easier than Harry thought it would be. Until it all falls apart, and Harry realizes he holds the world in his hands.
❤️This Draco is so soft (I love soft Draco) but also broken, and it made my heart ache. The way Harry reverently cares for Draco, heals him... The last scene in the bathtub is so beautiful and sensual. Intimate. I enjoyed every line. Thank you for such a wonderful fic!✨💙-moonlightmoth
❤️when i tell you i cried, you best believe it was the sideways sleeping, one eye leaking, painful cry because this was so bloody well written and hats off to the writers cause 👏👏👏👏... i could imagine every scene so vividly and thats down to brilliant writing and insane imagery. what im trying to say is... thank you, thank you for writing this publishing it and letting us read it cause its art, it truly is. thank you 💜- turtle
[FIC] Float by @shiftylinguini { E | 5k }
After a night out, Harry wakes up feeling like he slept on concrete, like his body's made of sand, like he accidentally pissed on his housemate the night before. Because he did accidentally piss on his housemate the night before.
❤️This is incredibleeeee 🥵😍 Their voices are perfect, it’s simultaneously so sweet and hot and funny and genuine. I love their dynamic ❤️ - CousinCecily
❤️okay look, LOOK.LISTEN. This was. LISTEN. I'm incoherent. LOOK. I LOVE THIS OKAY? I can't even-- This is. WOAH. You ...it's so hard to write about this kink, right, and you did it so beautifully. I'm absolutely amazed. Everything about it was perfect... I love your Draco. He's so cool and controlled, and respectful! It's the sweetest thing... And...the bathroom scene was so HOT but also sensual, I don't know how to explain? It was perfect. I'm repeating myself but I can't help it. It was everything I needed and more. And, I want this comment to be some more 10000 kudos. I crave this universe fully now. I love you. Like, thank you. WOW. - MarchnoGirl
[FIC] A Portrait of Recovery by @moonstruckwytch { M | 5k } for@the-starryknight
Since he was attacked and nearly drowned in the tub, Draco’s been struggling. He can hardly be in a bathroom or take a shower, never mind a bath. It feels like his life has fallen apart. Harry’s there to help though, and he’s not going anywhere, no matter how long it takes. A story about love and healing.
❤️Oh, this is so soft and lovely and wonderful ❤️❤️❤️ I could almost physically feel Harry's warm embrace at the end there, the descriptions were so sensorial ❤️- OTPshipper98
❤️This was so gorgeously soothing. I love the way you've crafted this story of healing and care, composed through Harry's gentleness and Draco's understandable anxieties. Your Harry is compassionate and careful, understanding and so, so loving, and his patience -- with Draco's anxiety, with holding back his feelings for Draco -- was so beautifully constructed. I love the way you write about Draco's panic, I could feel it bubbling up anxiously in my own chest when you did, which of course made Harry's gentleness feel even warmer. All the beautiful details you incorporated into this fic -- from the Tate to the scones to the smell of Draco's shampoo -- made the story feel vibrant and alive. Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous piece - thestarryknight
[FIC] and i’ll piece you back together with my bare hands (and you’ll kiss the cuts your sharp edges make) by Helpneedmorefanfics / @zarnzarn for Lyssaroses { M | 5.5k }
Draco reaches over and flicks him on the nose. Harry bites his finger. "Don't be daft, Potter." He says, "I've spent years in possession of a mirror. I'm not one to be swayed by cheap imitations of beauty and attraction through pheromones and magic after so long of having to see true beauty." Harry is giggling maniacally by the end of his sentence, making ripples of mirth in the hazy bathwater. Draco smiles. "I have butterfly wings, Draco," His husband protests, although his hands stop shaking. "I look like a bug." "A very pretty bug," Draco agrees seriously, and gets splashed by bathwater for it.
❤️Loved all of the research you did! It was so cool to have such a unique take on the Veela heritage and I always love when Harry is a Veela. Great work!!! Thank you for sharing it with us 😍 - ANW815
❤️Wow, this was such a creative and fabulous take on a Veela fic! I absolutely loved the way the creature heritage manifested itself - your descriptions were so vivid and immediate, I could picture everyone so clearly. It was so uncanny and compelling how you described Harry in particular - and Draco's worshipful feelings when he saw his transformed husband. Your side characters were absolutely brilliant too - every one had such a distinct and characterful voice, and I loved the group dynamic and the way you wove it into the lovely, romantic, yet funny established relationship - tackytiger
[FIC] everything i need i get from you (and giving back is all i wanna do) by @phoebe-delia for Helpneedmorefanfics / @zarnzarn { M | 1.1k }
Revenge wouldn’t undo years of abuse—nothing could. But as Harry’s boyfriend, and a recipient of his forgiveness, Draco could do his best to make Harry’s life as full of love and happiness as possible.
❤️This was so lovely 😭😭 Draco taking care of Harry like that is everything to me! The interactions between them were so wonderful, the bit where Harry was suddenly hesitant and Draco called him on it = perfection, the soft massage and baths around the world and the tenderness in taking care of all the tiny details 🥺🥺🥺 Just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!! Thank you so much for writing and sharing this fic. It touched my heart 💖- RockingRobin_69
❤️This was lovely!!!! I adored Draco taking care of Harry!! The thought of trying different bathing rituals from around the world was so sweet. I always love it when Draco hates the Dursley’s as much as me 😂 fantastic work!!!! - ANW815

[FIC] Arches by @sky-is-torn / Ludicrous { T | 12k } for @the-starryknight
If a magic room is full of flames, is it really burning?
❤️Wow, wow, wow, I am just floored. This fic is brilliantly written, every word so thoughtfully crafted to build this stunning atmospheric... Almost ethereal quality? I loved the experience of reading it, and it really did feel like an experience, I was so enraptured with your prose I found myself totally lost in the story, the eerie way of shifting realities so subtly and so thoughtfully... It was brilliantly done! I loved the little nods to canon towards the end, this bit of meta made the whole destabilizing sense of the world shifting around feel incredible to read. And the details of this... oh I was on the edge of my seat - thestarryknight
❤️Wow!!! The magical theory in this whole fic was amazing!!! It’s such a Harry move to rush into danger without care for the consequences. I adored the connection between him and Draco and the different ways Draco could see him. The development of their friendship and then romance was so natural and it felt so tender. I loved the ending, perfect!!! A truly superb fic!!! -ANW815
[FIC] The Abandoned Bathroom by @cluelesspigeons { T | 3k }
Draco comes home after a long shift in St. Mungo’s, craving a warm soak in the bathtub Harry usually has ready for him. This time when Draco opens the bathroom door, the tub is ready but Harry’s nowhere to be found.
❤️I am so wholly obsessed with the idea of tender cat dad Draco - and how this tenderness and fondness suffuses the whole mood of the fic, and extends to his relationship with Harry. It is so sweet how exasperated he is with Harry, yet how it's clear that it's all a cover for the softest sweetest husbandly love! The idea of something feeling unfinished or unsatisfying unless he had Harry with him felt very romantic here, and was a lovely little nod to their canonical obsession with each other! Thank you so much for sharing such a charming, delightful fic - tackytiger
❤️This is amazing! I love how Draco is adorable being anxious about Harry but then doesn't care but still misses him anyway 🥺 Good job, you did so well! I love the story ❤️- Nelween
