The Holly and the Ivy | E, 4.6k

Tags: EWE, non-linear, school flashbacks, Quidditch player Draco, castles, Dickens references, miscommunication, idiots in love, enemies to friends to lovers, Christmas, fluff, light angst, charity auctions

This year at the Annual Ministry Yule Auction, Magpies Seeker Draco Malfoy's time is up for sale. When Harry places the winning bid, will their contracturally-binding weekend together heal old wounds, or worsen them? Featuring a fluffy black cat called Marley, a castle on the western coast of Scotland, an Eighth Year Christmas kiss, and stupid boys who can't express their feelings.

Draco’s heart thudded loudly between his ears. Potter’s charm rippled over the minute space between the fabric of his clothes and the surface of his skin, bright and electric and alive. It felt like a touch he hadn’t forgotten but had instead left stored away somewhere in the recesses of his mind: wrapped snugly, well-hidden, for his eyes only. He shifted on the seats, watching Potter’s keen gaze travel the details of his uniform. Potter touched the tip of a finger to the edge of the number stitched onto Draco’s vest in shimmering silver thread. “A weekend isn’t a long time,” he said. “But—it could be like that Christmas—” Draco inhaled sharply. “Just give me the weekend,” Potter whispered. Behind them, London disappeared.

MARAUDERS TEXTING FIC RECS???

Tbh I feel like I've already read everything under the sun, but I just love texting fics with my whole soul and I need more.

"Regulus' Birthday" - a sweet microfic set in the same universe as my fic Dare to Stay // @fromagony @godsofwoes // 486 words

“Happy Birthday, love.” Regulus was awaken to the soft voice of his James. His James. His James waking him up. With a gentle kiss, on his birthday. In his bed. He slowly opened his eyes as a smile adorned his face. 

“Good morning, Jamie.”

It was their first big celebration together ever since they shared their first kiss a few months ago. They had longed for each other too many years to waste a single day apart. James was good at making up for lost time. 

“Get dressed, the boys have a surprise for you.” 

He quickly put on some pants and James’ shirt from yesterday. He loved nothing more than smelling like him first thing in the morning. James held the bedroom door for him, and as Regulus passed him by, James grabbed him from behind, placed his chin on Regulus’ shoulder and very gently whispered “I love you.” Three words that never failed to send a shiver through Regulus’ spine. 

Regulus turned around, his hands instinctively cupping James' face. "I love you too, Jamie."

“Let’s go, love. I can feel the boys getting impatient.”

Giggles and tiny voices grew louder as they walked down the stairs. When they reached the last step Regulus stopped dry. The entrance had a big banner reading ‘Happy Birthday’ in fun colors, and ‘we love you’ written under it in what was clearly Harry and Draco’s writing. 

Before he could even process the overwhelming warmth that was filling him, two little boys rushed towards his arms with such a force that he fell over. 

“Happy birthday Uncle Reggie!” Said Draco as he kissed his cheek.

“Aaaaah!” Harry just screamed as he also launched himself towards a fallen Regulus. Harry hugged him tightly, a gesture Regulus held onto dearly just as much as the first time it happened. 

“Okay, let’s give my fiancé some space on his big day. Let’s go show him his surprise.” James helped him up and they followed the boys towards the kitchen. 

Like two miniature guards, Draco and Harry stood on opposite sides of the pantry door.

“One, two, three!”

“Surprise!” Sirius said as the doors opened and ran towards Regulus to embrace him. 

“I thought you were going to be away,” Regulus whispered to his brother’s ear while holding onto him. 

“I have never spent a birthday away from you, I was not going to start now little brother.”

Regulus couldn’t help the tears falling down his cheeks. He remembered the loneliness and desperation that filled his fifteen year old self. He was now living a reality that once upon a time felt like a fantasy. Something unattainable, something someone like Regulus Black would never deserve.

He now had everything he had ever longed for. 

There, one day in July, standing in the kitchen of Potter Manor, Regulus Blacked had no more scars left to heal. He was happy. Entirely and blissfully happy. 

here's the complete fic that started it all

All the Drarry Fics I've read and loved - Part 2

Back with another list.

No one ever told me by Slight Weasel - It is a one-shot where Harry marries Draco to keep him out of Azkaban. Harry says a lot of 'er', and Draco is doing his best to not be a prick. Harry's POV shows a Draco who has changed and is doing his best in drastic circumstances. It is an MPreg fic, so please read the tags before you jump in. I like reading MPreg fics, so I loved it.

Slutty Butter by Drarryweather - The best three-shot smut fic I've ever read (After Hoko_onchi - honestly, I love them; have read almost everything by them and 10/10 recommend). The writing is fantastic, the ending is satisfying, and there is a kinky Draco who unlocked several kinks for me. Everybody wins.

We're Not Friends by Alexmeg - I read this and cried a lot. Deals with heavy stuff. It is a short fic. But I feel this deals with what happens with Draco after the war at Hogwarts realistically. People leave him alone. And he is not just alone; he is lonely. So when he asks to meet Harry one day, it is suspicious. Ends on a happy note (I don't read fics with sad endings, so trust me, read this). Good fic. (I have also read Tell me a secret by them - this is also good but the ending felt off. Also, took me a long time to get into this fic. It is inspired by Grounds for Divorce so I had high hopes tbh. But oh well)

Not Mine, Never Yours by CapricornBookworm - Oh dear lord, we love oblivious Harry and pining Draco, but at one point, I was screaming at Harry to just realise that he's in love with Draco. And the ending soothed my burnt Drarry soul. And we get Charlie Weasley. Honestly, the best and the hottest Weasley. Would also recommend other fics by them. I've read them all. If I like a fic, I read all the other fics by the author.

Get What You Knead by dodgerkedavra - Harry is a shopowner and, fortunately/unfortunately, ends up buying a shop opposite Draco. The way Harry gets re(?)-obsessed with Draco is hilarious. Love this one-shot. If you are a cat lover, you'd definitely love this one.

All In Due Time by gnarf - It is an MPreg, and honestly, it has cinnamon roll Scorpius and I loved him. My heart broke for Draco in this fic. It was like one after the other thing was going bad for him. And Harry could've stepped in earlier. But I guess that's why this fic works and is aptly titled. Because you finally see Draco happy with his kids and find love with Harry after he has somewhat healed. Love this journey for them.

A Shower, A Meal, A Nap, and A Shag by chickenlivesinpumpkin - This is an 8-parter fic. Read it only if you are of a strong heart and can take rough, and I mean rough af smut cuz even I had to skip certain parts. It has a fantastic possessive, jealous, and obsessive Harry but you know there's something wrong. In one of the parts, they kinda break up (not a spoiler), and again, if don't like such a vivid description of a break up then skip that part. The fic, otherwise, is a masterpiece. I have realised a masterpiece fic will often bring up issues for you, and you will want to add disclaimers. The author has also done so. So, read this fic, but only if you're in a strong mind space. Read the tags before you get into it.

we have heard on high by oflights - Oh, this is a lovely fic. A soulmate au, where Harry knows who his soulmate but Draco doesn't know it yet. There's a good backstory to it. It is a long one-shot. It is a good late-night light read. I have definitely read more fics by this author but can't recall any at the moment. So do check them out.

I hope you all like the recs. Let me know if you have read any of them or read them after my rec and liked it? I mean it's okay if you don't but I'd love it if you do, you know? Also, thanks for all the love on my last rec list.

I will definitely come back with another list. Till then, keep reading, writing, and loving Drarry 💚🩶 (always grateful to the authors who write fics and share their art with us)

PS. Some of these fics will require you to have an ao3 account.

Shout out to @duchessdulce for this amazing fic!!

[er9tic]

as we turn — chapter twelve.

“If we don't have trust, we have nothing."

new visuals for the new chapter posted !! super duper duper excited for it eee. this chapter was saur fun to write, esp the wolfstar piece.

[fifiistar]

Flustered Harry who shares his 8th year dorm with Draco;

Draco stood in the doorway, barefoot, a towel slung around his neck. His hair was damp, water dripping from the ends onto his bare shoulders, and his pale skin gleamed faintly in the dim light of the dormitory. A pair of loose, dark pajama bottoms hung low on his hips, and Harry’s brain promptly short-circuited.

Draco froze mid-step, clearly not expecting Harry to still be in the room. His sharp grey eyes widened for a split second before narrowing, his usual mask of composure slipping into place. “Potter,” he said, his voice crisp but low. “What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at supper?”

Harry opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His brain felt like it was moving through treacle, every coherent thought derailed by the sight of Draco Malfoy standing there, damp and shirtless, looking utterly unbothered.

“I—uh,” Harry stammered, his cheeks burning. “I was… tie! My tie! I couldn’t find it.”

Draco arched an eyebrow, his head tilting slightly as he regarded Harry. “You missed supper because of a tie?”

“Not missed,” Harry corrected quickly, his words tripping over each other. “Just… delayed. You know, priorities.”

Draco snorted softly, reaching up to towel off his hair. The motion made the muscles in his arms flex ever so slightly, and Harry felt his stomach twist into knots.

It wasn’t fair, really, that someone could look so effortlessly good after a shower. It wasn’t fair that the faint flush on Draco’s cheeks from the heat of the water made him look almost… approachable. And it definitely wasn’t fair that Harry couldn’t seem to tear his eyes away.

Draco dropped the towel onto the back of a chair and turned back toward Harry, his expression sharp and faintly amused. “You’re staring, Potter.”

Harry blinked, his heart lurching. “I—I’m not!”

Draco’s lips twitched, the ghost of a smirk threatening to form. “You are.”

Harry’s ears burned, and he turned abruptly, pretending to fuss with his trunk. “I wasn’t staring. I was just… thinking. About, um, spells. Really complicated ones.”

“Spells,” Draco repeated, his tone flat but laced with amusement.

“Yes, spells,” Harry said, his voice a little too loud. “Very complex stuff. You wouldn’t understand.”

Draco let out a soft laugh, and the sound sent a shiver down Harry’s spine. He could feel Draco’s gaze on him, could imagine the slight tilt of his head, the way his damp hair might cling to his neck.

He clenched his fists, cursing his own traitorous thoughts.

“Well,” Draco said after a moment, his voice casual, “don’t let me distract you from your… spells.”

"It's the kneading. It's his hands. They're obscene."

Since I haven't been able to get Wading In Waist-High Waters by @colgatebluemintygel out of my head... and because @equippedtolove told me to... I drew a thing.

Because really what's better than Remus entering the Bake Off?

[wolfpants]

Another in my series of Christmas fics and banner redesigns! This was one of my first ever fics. Honestly, scanning it for the quote has pulled me desperately back into this ship; I will be writing wolfstar in 2025 🌟

Heal Your Shrinking Soul | M, 23k | Wolfstar

Tags: AU non-magical, modern setting, writer Remus, actor Sirius, Stephen King references, Christmas, flashbacks, romance, angst, grumpy Remus, past lives, magic realism, alcoholism, alternate realities, memory, exes to lovers, angst with a happy ending

Two souls, eternally entwined. Remus and Sirius have always meant to end up together. But what happens when one of them strays down the wrong path? Loosely based on A Christmas Carol.

“I knew I’d find you in here, thoughtful boy.” Not-Sirius is gone, and Sirius, the Sirius from the vision in the same soft green jumper with his hair tied back neatly, is looking right at him. Remus glances around himself. They’re in the quiet haven of Monty’s library, and he can smell all of the books, old and woodsy, abundant as they are, piling shelves that stretch far beyond their heads, some volumes probably not touched since the ‘80s, since before James was even born. There’s an orange pomander on the antique desk by the window, and he can smell that too, the cloves sharp and fragrant and seasonal. Outside, snow covers the lawn in a perfect blanket of Christmas white. “Remus?” Sirius asks him with a cautious laugh. He closes the door properly, the handle clicking softly behind him, and he strides once, then twice, across the room, closer to him. Remus holds his breath, not sure what to make of his gentle gaze. He expects, as per their conversation earlier, that he is, indeed, late to the party. “Everything okay?” Sirius prods, then he sighs a little, looking at his feet. “I’m glad you made it.” “Me?” Remus blurts, pointing at himself. “Erm,” Sirius says, meeting his gaze again, his lips tugged upward at one side in quiet bewilderment. “Yes? Who else?” “You can see me?” “… yes?”

[souptastical]

recently, i found a fic on ao3 that was just... grammatically fucking awful. I had read the summary- it was someone's first fic and they stated they were a teen, so I guess i knew what i was in for...

And I jumped so quick to the comment section- planning on stating all the flaws, what was wrong with it and where, but then stopped dead in my tracks... right then, I was taken right back to me, 10 years old, publishing my first- way, way worse of a mess- fanfic and getting an intense amount of hate for it.

I recalled my emotions at that time, thinking my idea was so wonderful only to have people use swear words and insults at me in the comments. I felt so embarrassed, and though those comments just gave me more drive to be better, I've always known a lot of kids don't take any sort of criticism constructively- I never comment bad shit on a fic tbh, but I also have never found someone's "first fic" before with these types of grammatical errors.

So instead, I read a few chapters and noticed how quickly they learned how to write- I put all my kind notes to them first, stating how cool it was how much their style changes with just a few chaps and how they gauged how to write fic faster than i ever did and how i loved their plot, and because of the fact they said any input is appreciated, I let them know of a cool thesaurus site + told them about right clicking to see spelling mistakes.

Main point is, quite a few times I've seen people being dicks to others doing their first fic and as someone who almost did the same, I wanna state how easy it is to lift someone up and inspire them to write more and become a better writer.

[guardian-angel12]

maybe unpopular opinion but I really don’t like crossover fics

(I mean if that’s your groove eat it up but personally I don’t like it)

[sc-t-arshaped]

Hey there! Does anyone know if there is a page like @aftgficrec or @aftgficlibrary but for the Marauders Fandom?

I'm very bad at navigating Ao3 and these two blogs really helped me in finding some precious AFTG gems (I'll be ever grateful for) and now I'd love to be able to make the most out of my new Regulus Black fixation ✨
