Evergreen
Harry/George | Rated T | 23k wordsĀ |Ā thecouchsofa
Written for the HP Rare Pair Fest IV
Summary:Ā āYouād better hurry up, mate, or all the good ones will have gone.ā Fred leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest, clearly thinking that heād now exceeded his allowance of brotherly wisdom for the day.
āWho are you going with then?ā Harry asked suddenly. He looked between Fred and George, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Harry asks George to the Yule Ball because itāll be a laugh and heās in dire need of one of those. If George can continue to keep his crush under wraps it should all go swimmingly.
Tags: POV George Weasley, Pining, Teenage Awkwardness, Teenage Crushes, Yule Ball, Hermione acting as Harry's wingman, Ron being whatever the opposite of a wingman is (without realising), Hogwarts Fourth Year, Hogwarts Sixth Year, Weasley family feels, Healthy sibling rivalries, a general torment of Ron (but in a loving way), Everyone loves Harry (as they should), Discussions of underage drinking, Ambiguously spiked pumpkin juice, Christmas, Gift Giving, First Kiss, Canon Divergence

Let Me Help You, Mr. Lupin [E, 2k] by goldenbi Lyall Lupin/James Potter
James nodded, his eyes lowering to Lyallās neck and then back up. āYeah, Mr. Lupin. I want to help you.ā āHowās that?ā Lyall couldnāt figure out how a young man like James Potter could help him grieve his wife. Sheād been dying for years, he had known it was coming; he knew, and still it had caught him off guard. āI want to fuck you,ā James said. Lyall spilled the whiskey across his lap and swore. He reached for his wand and cleaned himself up, placing the glass safely on one of Hopeās coasters. āExcuse me, I must have misheardā?ā Jamesās expression was fond, āI want to fuck you. I want to lay you in bed, open you up, and fuck you so hard that you forget about everything other than my body. Then, you are going to sleep.āĀ
Thank you to the mods of @hprarepairfest!! This is my first ever fest like this and I am so happy I had the opportunity to use this prompt for something bigger.
This is actually the FIRST of it's tag on ao3!! That's what I love about rarepairs!
Self-Prompt: James Potter/Lyall Lupin - James comforts Lyall after Hope's death.

Coming Soon: HP Horrible Goose Fest
Are you a writer avoiding your WIP by enjoying a nice lunch with a friend?
Or playing a fun game?
Or tending your garden?
Well, not for long.
It's a lovely morning in the Harry Potter fandom and we're here to find you a horrible goose.
Announcing HP Horrible Goose Fest!
If you're a writer with a WIP that needs a little bit of encouragement to get over the finish line, we'd love to help you find a goose (horribleness optional) to pester, prod, or push you along.
And if you make a great fic cheerleader, maybe you'll find that your angel wings are actually of a more avian variety, and you should think about joining us as a goose.
More details to come soon!
Your mods: @apricitydays-lazynights @geesenoises @oknowkiss @saintgarbanzo @thehoneybeet

A sketch, a doodle, a moodboard. If you want to show love to Percy I will not hold you back. - AI-generated pieces will be not be accepted - Feel free to combine with other fests if they also allow it! - For anything that's done using someone elseās fic (Podfic/bookbinding) make sure they allow it.

Art claim!! my piece I did for @unleashed-fest
based on @crazybutgood prompt :3
Hogwarts Fourth Year: While Ron is grateful for Pigwidgeon, he sometimes finds himself wistfully remembering the times he spent with 'Scabbers' -- before the reveal in Third Year, anyway. One such night, he's startled and wary to find a rat scampering around, until Viktor appears, looking for his escaped pet. They eventually bond over pets, grief, comfort, Quidditch, and many other things as they start to develop feelings for each other.
I'm including two more sketches i didn't have the time to finish :3
And, thank you @orange-peony for making me like these two, now i ship them harder š„ŗ

Dronarry Fest 2024 - Sitp Recs
Slowly catching up with the Dronarry Fest as I try to find my way back into reading, I thought it would be fun to share my favourite reads so far. Anyone else reading along as it posts? Iād love to hear your thoughts and recs, letās spread the love for these gems! You can find the full collection HERE.
š Nightswimming by @sweet-s0rr0w (M, 5k)
Weasley flicks the light on. āI got off with a guy once, you know,ā he says, casually, holding the torch up between his gloved fingers. āWhat?ā says Draco, glancing over sharply. āNo, you didnāt.ā āI did,ā Weasley insists, and thereās an air of mischief about him now. āJust after the divorce.ā
Draco tightens his grip on the steering wheel and wills his eyes to stay on the road, a dozen different scenarios playing out vivid in his mind. āBut Harryās neverāā āYeah, well.ā Weasley clicks the torch back off. āTurns out Harry and I donāt share everything, after all.ā
šŖ© Hear Me Out by @rainstormradish (E, 5k)
āI know this is all just a big joke to you,ā whispered Draco, his lips inches from Ronās ear, his breath on his neck, his hips pressed against him, Merlin, ābut I need you to fucking commit to the bit here, Ron.ā
āļø Borrowed Time by @the-starryknight (E, 7k)
Harry woke in someone else's bed, sleeping beside someone else's lover. Leaning in is the worst possible solution, right?
āļø Snowdrift by @wolfpants (E, 8k)
London is drowning in snow, and Draco and Ron get more than they bargain for when they comfort Harry after - another - bad break up.
š„ Dick Chicken by @oknowkiss (E, 15k)
This is a story about nothing.
š°ļø Permanent by @citrusses (M, 14k)
"Harry's always been fixated on older men. Have you ever noticed that, Ron?ā Granger asks. āHave I ever noticedāHermione, weāve lived with the bloke for years! He doesnāt bring them home much, but Iām not blind. I see who heās shagging.ā
āAnd David, an older man, tells Harry āSaviour Complexā Potter he needs him to save the world?ā āHe didnāt stand a chance,ā Ron agrees. āFascinating,ā Draco says, in a strangled voice.
š¦ Some Nights by @thecouchsofa (E, 23k)
Ron fucks up his Silencing Charms in the dorm one night. Then Malfoy does. The rest, as they say, is history.

Claiming Is OPEN!!
Claiming is open, so get ready to raise those mainsails and make some waves because these ships are about to set sail! š³ļø
Claiming Form
How claiming works
Claiming runs the same as it always has, and how most fests operate.
In case you're unfamiliar with the claiming process, the gist is: ā Claiming is "first come; first serve" - we'll grant prompts in the order they're received. ā You'll submit your first, second, and third choice prompts; whichever is the first one available on that list is the prompt you'll have! ā We'll update the gallery as prompts are claimed, and reply to your form via email to confirm which of your selected prompts you got. ā There is a section on the claiming form for self-prompting! āParticipants are allowed to claim multiple prompts, but are only allowed one prompt at a time. If you want to fulfill multiple prompts, please complete and submit your current submission before filling out the form to claim another prompt. ā Patience is key.

Hello friends! Recently, I participated in the fourth HP Rare Pair fest, and with 81 unique and beautiful entries it was a veritable FEAST for the eyes and heart and soul. (Check out the whole collection here)
I wanted to take a moment to post highlights of the fics that just really brought me to my knees in hopes that youāll fangirl/boy/person over them with me!
1. Evergreen by @thecouchsofa (23k)- Harry Potter x George Weasley What would happen if Harry asked George to go to the Yule Ball with him instead of Parvati? This GOF Yule Ball AU is sure to slay you with sheer adorableness. I couldnāt stop smiling and squealing through the whole thing. This rare pair is one of my favorites, and this fic went above and beyond, plus itās the perfect holiday read! Rating: T
2. Lonely Creatures by @apricitydays-lazynights (5k)- Severus Snape x Giant Squid The prompt to put these two together could easily have been pure hentai crack nonsense (which is a brilliant option) but this story did things to me that I canāt even put into words. Itās tender, melancholy, and cuts to the heart of Severus Snapeās isolation and longing to be seen and loved. The details of this are so richly woven, and I particularly enjoyed the authorsā focus on Mermlish/Merfolk. Standing ovation to this fic! Rating: E
3. Slice of Night by SquibNation10 (9k)- Aurora Sinistra x Severus Snape This was the fic that took me the most by surprise. I love the creativity in taking a character who gets very few canon details and making them real and beautiful and believable. Auror Sinistra is divine in this, and Iāll give some honorable mentions to both Argus Filch and Rolanda Hooch as excellent supporting characters that also donāt typcially get a lot of spotlight. What a gorgeous slice of life fic! Rating: T
3. Quick Quotes and Quibbles by RainstormRadish (3k)- Luna Lovegood x Rita Skeeter Rita and Luna have to work together to cover the wedding of Neville Longbottom and Pansy Parkinson. Thereās just something about a story told in unconventional medium that will always ALWAYS pull me in! This unlikely pairing comes together in the sweetest way, their strong personalities balancing each other out until they become a formidable team.Ā I particularly loved the graphics and paper trail memos/epistolary style storytelling. Rating: T
4. Your seat, itās the best seat by @the-houseryn (17k)- Ron Weasley x Draco Malfoy MOVE OVER only one bed, thereās a new trope in town and itās the ONLY ONE SEAT trope!! This was sexy, flirtatous, and hot AF. Iām always down for a Dron fic, but this one is one of the best Iāve read in a while, with some delicious pining and a predictably oblivious Ron. Do yourself a favor and indulge in the lap-sitting fic of the year! Rating: E
5. Vivaldi and Hot Chocolate by @patriceavril (6k)- Percy Weasley x Stan Shunpike What was Percy up to in OTP/HBP? What a lonely life that must have been! This fic was soft and sweet, giving some much-needed love to a character that we all wrote off in canon for being a stuck-up prick. I love how Percy seeks out the warmth and comfort of the Knight Bus, coming back for more because of the kind-hearted and bubbly Stan Shunpike, who always insists on giving Percy free hot chocolate. I never expected to be so enamoured by this pairing, but I am! Rating: T
6. The monster you feed by @ghostfelicis188 (11k)- Regulus Black x Remus Lupin This canon-compliant fic tore me to shreds. TO SHREDS. Like, I am such a simp for tragic Remus romances, and this took the cake. Features: pining artist Remus, and shit-eating cruel Regulus who toys with Remus the whole damn fic. If you like hurt no comfort, this is the fic for you. *Chefs Kiss* Rating: M
7. Gilded Web by @emilyrickman AlihotsyTotsy (8k)- George Weasley x Blaise Zabini I cannot believe that this understated fic packed such a punch in 8,000 words. George agrees to an undercover operation to investigate the mysterious deaths of Mrs. Zabiniās deceased husbands. He is so pure in this, his characterization charming and believable, I just need more of this George! Bonus points for references to āthe Stingā Rating: M
8. Sleeping with Ghosts by @ghaniblue (21k)- Harry Potter x Regulus Black x Draco Malfoy My initial thoughts when encountering this relationship tag was something akin to a bewildered head scratch but OMG the best thing about this fest is having expectations completely upended! This fic slayed hard with a slow burn, found family, semi-sentient house renovation angle that had me completely melted by the end. Rating: M
9. The Last Trial of Peter Petegrew by @sleepstxtic (20 k)- Peter Petegrew x James Potter If possible, Iād like to ram this fic down the throats of all my mutuals with a plea to PLEASE READ THIS FIC. I canāt begin to describe in a tiny paragraph what this did to me. Often Peter Petegrew is relegated to the traitor bus in fandom (understandable) but this took every mean and traitorous part of his character and made me almost like him despite his treachery! The format of this was also a delight to read, and I love that Hermione presents the case for Peter Petegrew in this meta purgatory-style courtroom drama. Rating: M
10. Anatomy of a memory by @venom0usbarbie (9k)- Ginny Weasley x Tom Riddle This story was pure poetry wrapped in a sinister diary-shaped package. I love the self-fulfilling prophecy nature of this time loop style storyline, as well as the toxic obsession and manipulation played out between Ginny and Tom. What a mindfuck ending that was, too! Kudos to the āTom Riddle is his own Warningā tag. Rating: M
11. Sweet Boy by @maraudersaffair (6k)- Narcissa Black Malfoy x Harry Potter A not-quite-fake dating fic with lots of smut, thirst, and mommy/praise kink? Yes, please! I was literally panting by the end of this, Harry and Narcissa are so hot together! Rating: E
12. Growing Suspicion by nocturn (1.8k)- Neville Longbottom x Marcus Flint Someone keeps mutilating Nevilleās plants, and heās going to get to the bottom of it OR that time Marcus expresses feelings but doesnāt understand proper plant care. This fic was A-DOR-ABLE. Love me a good Hogwarts professors/staff fic, and this was just a bite-sized delight to read. Rating: G
13. For Your Burning Gaze by SquibNation10 (22k)- Neville Longbottom x Pansy Parkinson The fic that I most want to see a sequel for award goes toā¦ this Twilight Zone post-war marriage law fic complete with creepy house elves and a very troubled Pansy, who seems to be the only one realizing that something is not quite right! This is one of the best Panville fics Iāve read, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Rating: E
Thanks to @hprarepairfest for putting on another amazing fest!
