Recs masterlist part two : ongoing fests

I’ve been doing drarry recs posts every week for a while and it’s getting harder and harder to navigate through all theses posts. So here is a masterlist of all the posts I made so far.

[peachpety]

Upon reflecting this past year, I’m reminded of one area as a fandom citizen that i am lacking - reading fic. And so was born an idea to canvas my fandom family and friends to share with me a fic they've written, art they've created, a podfic they've recorded in 2023 of which they are most proud.

This two part 'rec yourself' list is the result.

Part One features Drarry creations (heavily featured since that's my OTP). Part Two (here) includes a kick-ass mix of various HP ships and ships from other fandoms, including Carry On, Check Please!, Good Omens, Teen Wolf, and Stranger Things. Also, and most importantly, each entry presents a smol blurb from the creator about why they chose their particular piece as their 2023 favorite.

For ease in reading, I've also placed all submitted works posted to AO3 into a filterable bookmark collection, Rec Yourself 2023. Be aware that there's a range of ratings and archive/creator tags, so please, take appropriate responsibility for your personal consumption. And please also be sure to shower the creators with kudos and lovely comments.

Y'all. This endeavor has been a fucking blast. One thing's for sure, I am blessed, humbled and honored to know a whole bunch of fantastic, brilliant, fun folks. Big love to you all, and thank you for participating.

So go forth. Indulge and enjoy! xo peach

* * *

✩ @pato-roldnart ✩ Quiet as a mouse HP | Viktor Krum x Ron Weasely | ART | G rating | Unleashed!Fest 2023 I'm quite proud of this one, I don't know how I made it, I had never drawn them before! My mind went full "oh yeah ronvik " Also, I like the idea of them bonding over their pets and Ron seeing that Viktor cares about something else that is not Quidditch.

✩ @tontonguetonks ✩ Coffee and a Croissant HP Next Gen | Scorpius x Albus | 903 FIC | G rating There are parts of myself and my lived experience in every story and character I write—how I socialize, how I take my coffee… I can’t help it. In *Coffee and a Croissant*, I put a lot of myself in my ace and autistic Albus. He is very dear to me in this story, and in my Fizzy Lifting Drinks drabble. The fic is just a toe-dip in the Soulmate waters where Albus grapples with what to do if he is someone’s Soulmate, but they’re not his. Parts 2 and 3 are in the works, but there is no timeline on either of them. Maybe in 2024?

✩ @crazybutgood ✩ I Bloom Pink For You HP | Narcissa Malfoy x Pansy Parkinson | 993 FIC + ORIGAMI COMIC | M rating | HP Bodice Ripper Fest 2023 This whole idea came about because I got so excited to fold a corset for hp bodice ripper fest, realised I couldn't just submit that one thing, and started brainstorming more loose ideas. It all clicked together when I was inspired by a fic by @schmem14, whose writing I adore. I was so grateful and even more excited when Em gave permission to make this. From there started the self-indulgent process of folding fancy things with fancier papers for this origami comic, and I couldn't have done it without Em and my lovely support team.

✩ @seekercass ✩ Something Cosmic HP | Cedric x Draco x Harry | 1.7k FIC | M rating | Polyship Week 2022 A self-rec that I am still extremely proud of is a short fic written for Polyshipping Week 2022 called Something Cosmic. It's a small coda to Something Good to Always Keep, another fic that I wrote for Quidditch Fest 2021 that I cherish very much. Even though writing is still hard for me these days, I often think about this 'verse and what life is like for Harry, Draco and Cedric after they graduated from Oxford. These three and slice of life bring me such joy. I hope to write more of them.

✩ @roseharpermaxwell ✩ Sounds Worth It HP | Hermione x Draco | 5k FIC | T rating | D/Hr Advent 2023 Being nominated for d/hr advent was a sweet surprise. It gave me a good excuse to remember how to write and the nudge I needed to create something this year.

✩ @basicallyahedgehog ✩ (They) Keep Me Warm HP | Hermione x Harry x Ron | 5.8k FIC | E rating | HP Trans Fest 2023 This was my transfest fic - I wrote it as a love letter to all my trans and Enby friends and as a way of processing some of my own feelings. It’s my first (and so far only) foray into poly golden trio and I loved playing with their dynamics with that added layer to their relationship.

✩ @lumosatnight ✩ For I Have Found Salvation HP | Harry x Severus | 7.1k FIC | E rating | Snarry AUctoberfest 2023 Although this is a smut fic at its core, I tried really hard to make the pacing flow, bringing in background characters, and creating memorable imagery. I am very proud of how it turned out. However, this is probably my favorite fic from 2023 simply for the fact that I had the most fun writing it!

✩ @sugareey-makes-stuff ✩ Feel You Breathing Teen Wolf | Derek Hale x Stiles Stilinski | 8.4k TEXTING FIC | E rating | 2023 Year of the OTP This is my fav 2023 piece because I learned how to create a custom text message AO3 skin, stylize things for plain text reading, and I wrote a whole story  that had some plot that was told through text messages. Also, I did not know I could achieve so much spiciness and throw in so many bad pick-up lines through this medium, but hey, the more you know! XD

✩ @schmem14 ✩ Mastermind HP | Harry x Ron; Draco x Harry; Ron x Draco | 10.7k FIC | E rating | Dronarry Fest 2023 This is one of the few times a story just flew out of me. Possessive stalker Draco sets out to win over Ron in this creepy thriller, but there’s a catch: Ron is already in love with Draco’s boyfriend, Harry.

✩ @drwhoisginnyholmes & @fledglinger ✩ Not Bad, For A 6000 Year Old Classic! Good Omens | Aziraphale x Crowley | 11.8k FIC + ART | E rating | DIWS Reverse! Reverse! Mini Bang

✩ @sniperjade ✩ The Sounds of Us HP Marauders | Regulus x Remus | 20.4k FIC | M rating | Remus Lupin Fest 2023; HPFC Spring Fling 2023 I've been thinking about this for a couple of days and whilst I would really love to say it was the drarry I wrote for this fest last year my favourite would have to be this moonseeker I wrote for Remus Lupin Fest last year. It's my favourite because I lived this fic. It became the entirety of my personality for a whole month because I desperately needed to get to the chapter where Regulus was riding on Padfoots back, through the forbidden forest, with only the light of the full moon to guide them, just to try and help Remus. It's also just because it's very musical and I'm very musical so that makes me love it all the more.

✩ @ghaniblue ✩ Sleeping With Ghosts HP | Regulus x Draco x Harry | 21.9k FIC | M rating | Harry Potter Rare Pair Fest IV I posted a Regulus/Harry/Draco fic last month that I'm very fond of. I started writing it more than 1 1/2 years ago, before I ever read a single Regulus fic. It's triad fic, and I'm pretty proud of the way the individual relationships develop. That was important to me, and I think I succeeded. Posting the first fic on ao3 with this triad tag doesn't hurt either.

✩ @celilasart & @wolfspurr ✩ Shifted Teen Wolf | Derek Hale x Stiles Stilinski | 25k FIC + ART | T rating | Sterek Reverse Bang This work was created for sterek reverse bang, a collaboration fest where the artists create first and the writers write second. wolfspurr and I just clicked when we talked about my art and the things that it inspired in their writer brain ;D the result is just an amazingly sweet and wholesome fic, that is still set in the teenwolf universe as we know it. but unlike many other fics which are full of violence and danger, this one starts with a bang and then it is a beautifully woven story of two people who just complete each other. also... the working title for my art was: tiny fox & sour wolf.

✩ @orange-peony ✩ At the speed of light Carry On | Basilton Pitch x Simon Snow | 26.3k FIC | E rating I picked [this fic] because I had a lot of fun writing it! It started off as a drabble and ended up 26k because I just had a blast writing it and the fandom support was so lovely. Last but not least, Pato made an absolutely stunning art piece for this fic, and it was the best present ever.

✩ @wynnyfryd ✩ i don’t know, you figure it out Stranger Things | Steve Harrington x Eddie Munson | 35.4k WIP FIC | E rating bragging about yourself is difficult, but i’ll just say it’s my favorite because i’m proud of myself for sticking to one project for this long, i love all the artwork the fic has inspired, and i just think the line “the river styx must taste like pennies” fucks severely lmao.

✩ @decaflondonfog ✩ growing pains Check Please! | Eric Bittle x Kent Parson | 50k FIC | T rating i am not usually a long fic gal, which i think is in part lack of patience, but also how attached i get to a universe if i’m working on it for a longer period of time. i finished writing this back in june but this fic felt very “me” in many ways and i think about them so often still  so it’s definitely my 2023 creation i’m proudest of!

HP Rec Fest, Day 10 ❄️

@hprecfest daily prompts running through Dec 31. Goal is to find lesser-known or underrated works, even by well-known authors, to feature here.

Day 10: A Fest Fic

In Your Image by @perhaps-sunlight (T, 11k, complete)

Summary: A chance encounter in a London pub leads to a whirlwind romance between recent Hogwarts graduate Harry Potter and the famous artist Tom Riddle, who paints under the name Lord Voldemort. However, Voldemort hides a dark secret: he seduces young, attractive wizards and witches into modeling for portraits. Their beauty will be preserved on canvas and their souls harvested for his eternal youth. Harry is the perfect next victim. Why I rec it for this prompt: A Tomarry take on The Picture of Dorian Gray for the 2022 Big Bang, for which the theme was 'spooky'. I love the use of 2nd person POV here, which enhances the delightfully creepy atmosphere of the fic, as well as the mystery at the core of this story.

HP Soulmates Fest 2022 : Masterlist of DRARRY fics

@hp-soulmates || official masterpost || AO3 || ∑ = 40 works (art, fic, podfic) The Mods + Banner © : @melcarrianna's Heartstopping Soulmate

1. Believe by @athousandpagesyettowrite [G, 4k]

His head screams with thoughts of it'shimit'shimit'shimit'shimit'shimit'shim and it takes all of his willpower to concentrate enough to hear the boy’s- his soulmate’s- next words. “Oh. Oh no.”

2. The Bonny, Bonny Shores of Strathy Bay by elinor_snapdragon [M, 7k]

There is an enchanted beach in the north of Scotland, where if you visit one special day each year, the spirits are said to awaken and whisper the name of your soulmate. A gang of Gryffindors decide this might be a lark, and sneak away from a Hogwarts school trip for a giggle. They never expect it to work.

3. Chilly Feet by @orange-peony [E, 13k]

It all starts with a pair of chilly feet under Harry Potter’s bum.

4. Finding out what is Draco Malfoy up to - A Misguided Guide by Harry Potter by @purplehotmess [T, 17k]

Draco Malfoy is up to something - Harry knows because the git didn't come to work today and didn't even tell Harry— Or two idiots in love who bumble, fumble, and stumble their way into finally getting together.

5. Little Lost Things by @flightinflame [T, 10k]

Draco has been waiting his entire life for the first treasure from his soulmate. When he's six and a Muggle coin appears, it seems like everything is going to go wrong. Harry is confused to find a beautiful feather dipped in ink when he's cleaning the Dursleys' kitchen. But things like this happen to him. [...]

6. Needs and Wants by lilaced [M, 11k]

Draco finds out he’s a vampire, right before he finds out that his Fated is none other than Potter. It’s a purely magical bond, unable to influence feelings, but Draco is Draco and pining ensues.

7. Steady as you go by @deliciousblizzardshark [E, 21k]

When Harry is diagnosed with fatal soul-damage, the only cure is to bond him to his soulmate, who turns out to be Draco Malfoy. But Harry and Draco are both married with children. What is going to happen to their families when they decide to do the only thing that will save Harry's life?

8. The thin line by @nelweensfic [M, 10k]

After the war Harry felt different. His heart was lighter. Or that was what he thought. Seeing Draco Malfoy on the train to their eighth year did something to his soul. And he'll learn that there is a thin line between hate and love.

9. This Could Be Good by @cassiaratheslytherpuff [E, 6k]

As a child, Draco had always loved his mother’s tales of soulmates, but he never thought he’d experience it himself. The universe, apparently, has other plans. Or, the one where Draco saves a dog and gets a soulmate.

10. What's Right in Front of You by @orpheous87 [T, 7k]

When a spell cast in the eighth-year common room goes wrong, Harry's life is thrown into chaos. He wasn't ready to come out yet, but it turns out he didn't need to worry. His friends are very keen to show him that he has their support, but it gets a bit much. Seeking solace in solitude, Harry is reminded that he's not the only one affected by the revelation. As he and Draco spend more time together, they come to realise that maybe the spell wasn't as rubbish as they first thought.

HP FESTS: HP Soulmates Fest (Tumblr)

HP Soulmates Fest 2022:

Near Enemies by Cassinea - T, one-shot - Returning to Hogwarts for eighth year, Hermione Granger has the great misfortune to save Draco Malfoy's life.

HP Soulmates Fest 2023:

The Punch That Made a Mark by Tardis_Magic93 - T, one-shot - His Godfather’s eyes went wide with shock as if he noticed the soulmate mark right on his nose where Granger punched him. “Who is your soulmate?” Draco gulped nervously at his Godfather. He took too long to answer because his Godfather held his shoulders and shook him. “Speak, boy!” “Granger,” Draco mumbled. “Can you please speak louder, Draco,” his Godfather sighed. “Granger! Okay?” Draco sighed looking at his Godfather frantically.

Dizzy Edge of Heaven by LunaP999, Wanderingfair - E, 2 chapters - Draco has just been traded from the Bulgarian National team to the Wimbourne Wasps. When moving into his new flat he hears his neighbor singing The Cure’s, Just Like Heaven, and is immediately hit with a vision (or version) of their life together. He doesn’t believe in Divination, and has obviously been hit with one too many bludgers. The more time he spends around his new neighbor, the more he wants it to be true. OR The canon divergent telling of Draco Malfoy, former Durmstrang student, current Quidditch star, meeting Hermione Granger for the first time and being instantly unsure if he's just incredibly smitten or he's possibly found his soulmate.

[draqo-pctter]

*:..｡o○ - ○o｡..:* Dramione Master List *:..｡o○ - ○o｡..:*

It Started With A One Night Stand      During the worst date of her life, Hermione Granger might have given herself a mild allergic reaction in order to leave early. When she goes to the Emergency Room to confirm she isn’t going to die, she runs into Healer Draco Malfoy. They hooked up three months ago. And he's about to tell her she's three months pregnant.      words: 6,900 | chapters 4/6 | rated m | explicit sexual content, one night stand turns love of her life, tooth-rotting fluff

A Madness Most Discreet | A Dramione Text Fic      In two weeks, the papers will be smeared with headlines detailing every moment of the Granger-Weasley wedding. Article after article will paint the happiest day of Hermione’s life, and the worst day of Draco’s, for all to see. A TextFic AU in which Draco and Hermione come to terms with a decade of unresolved feelings in the two weeks leading up to Hermione and Ron's wedding.      words: 8,857 | chapters 25/? | rated m | mutual pining, idiots in love, miscommunication, extramarital affair, explicit sexual content

Life Grows Colder | Truly Madly Deeply Fest 2023 Submission      Draco Malfoy remembers a lot of things. He remembers the way that Hermione’s hair curled around his finger and the way that his name sounded coming from her lips. He remembers desperately trying to save her, as she desperately tried to save him, both of them meeting in the middle with a promise of forever at the end of so much pain. And he remembers having a second chance. A second chance he’s still waiting for. Or: The year is 2003, but Draco is still in 1998.      words: 7,431 | chapters 1/1 | rated m | dead dove: do not eat, major character death, mental health issues, non-hea, minor depictions of violence, explicit sexual content

Stay For Breakfast and Other Dramione Drabbles      A collection of my Dramione drabbles/microfics, originally posted on Twitter (also some old ones from my Tumblr I’m storing here for safe keeping). Fics will be individually tagged in the author’s notes at the beginning of each chapter. Over-arching tags are defined in the Additional Tags section.

Devil In His Own Way Series      Draco Malfoy, in his quest to find himself, ended up creating a lifestyle magazine so prolific that its reputation soon became his own. Disrobed quickly became celebrated for glorifying sex, money, and what it meant to be a young person coming of age in post-war Wizarding Britain. One afternoon, Hermione received an unexpected visit from Pansy Parkinson and a personal invitation from Draco Malfoy himself for a weekend of pleasure at Malfoy Mansion. One thing led to another, and the two soon found themselves searching for more than a “what could have been”.      words: 154,260 | works: 3/3 | completed?: no | rated m | draco malfoy as hugh hefner au, minor theomione, porn with plot

Mysterious Thing About Love      Hermione Granger had never believed herself to be the type of witch to break into the Department of Mysteries in a drunken bid for some kind of happy future. She also couldn’t have imagined waking up in a reality in which she was happily engaged to Draco Malfoy, having found a kind of companionship that Ron had never shown her. As Draco attempts to help her get back, she finds herself falling for the man who worries if his fiancé will ever return.       words: 26,316 | chapters 7/26 | rated m | soulmates, alternate timelines, strangers to lovers

Run From It All      Sometimes, after particularly brutal raids, Hermione would invite Draco back to her flat. She would feed him, let him shower, and sleep the next day away in her bed while she told Shacklebolt Draco was having his injuries checked at St. Mungo’s and would be back after the weekend. And, one night, he asks her to sleep with him.      words: 4,487 | chapters 1/1 | rated m | coworkers, soft, porn with plot, mild hurt/comfort

A Love Like This Won’t Last Forever | HP Flower Fest 2022 Submission      After the war, Draco hadn’t known what to do with himself or Malfoy Manor. He’d tried to settle his mind with a bit of botany -- a hidden favorite pastime of his -- and soon enough, the estate was covered in hundreds of plant varieties. Hermione was surprised when she received an invitation to the grand opening of The Gardens at Malfoy Manor, a botanical garden for flora and fauna, both Magical and Muggle. Wiltshire breathed a sigh of relief when the two finally came together among a sea of Dahlias.      words: 7,857 | chapters 1/1 | rated m | botany, porn with plot, soft

A Million Little Times      Hermione didn’t blame Draco for the affair. She couldn’t blame Theodore, either. If anyone, she blamed herself–she was the one who followed Draco to the hallway during a Ministry Gala. Their late-night meetings and middle-of-the-day escapades had been going on for some time–three years if her memory was serving her properly–when Hermione found herself torn between dependable security and wanton risk. Draco wanted a promise of her devotion and commitment, while Theodore wore the symbol of it on his left ring finger.      words: 9,760 | chapters 1/1 | rated m | infidelity, extramarital affair, not dramione endgame, porn with plot

Sunday Mornings      Hermione finds herself slowly falling for a handsome blond during springtime.      words: 8,457 | chapters 1/1 | rated m | eighth year, soft, just two young people falling in love, porn with plot

Winter Holiday      The one in which two lonely hearts fall for each other during wintertime.      words: 8,076 | chapters 1/1 | rated m | eighth year, winter vibes, porn with plot

It Happened One Holiday Party      Hermione had only stayed for the office Christmas party because Harry asked her to. Draco had stayed because he’d gotten Hermione for Secret Santa and couldn’t bring himself to simply leave the gift on her desk. Somehow, they both end up back at Draco’s family home beneath some mistletoe.      words: 5,867 | chapters 1/1 | rated m | coworkers, holiday party, dramione first time, porn with plot

Loving In Truth Series      After finishing his Ministry-ordered probation, Draco had to decide on a “new life path”, whatever that meant. He wasn’t sure the judge knew what that meant. What it sounded like was a farce. How was he supposed to decide on a new future when he still hadn’t come to terms with the past? Enter Hermione Granger in all her Ministry glory. As an employee of the Ministry’s Department of Magical Law Enforcement, it became her job to ensure that Draco did what he was supposed to do: find a new career path, and disavow everything that his family had stood for. As he tried to piece himself back together, and put distance between himself and his family values, he found himself wanting to be closer to Granger, who wanted nothing to do with him.       words: 38,357 | books 1/3 | completed? no | rated m | excessive drug/alcohol use, dark themes, hurt/comfort, angst | on hiatus

Let Me Get You Off | Dramione Kink Challenge 2020 Submission      Hermione was drunk when she told Draco that she’d led a boring sex life. He’d also been drunk when he admitted that he was more than capable of showing her a good time. When an owl arrived at her window, she jumped at the chance to see what Draco Malfoy was really about. And she had a delightful time.      words: 3,841 | chapters 1/1 | rated m | explicit sexual content, porn no plot, breath play, dom/sub

Do You Remember?      Five years had passed since Draco and Hermione shared a steamy night in the Hogwarts dungeons. Three years had passed since the war.

Review of my 2023 Writing

I don’t typically post about my fanfics, just reblogging posts made about them by fest mods and the spare reccer but I’ve decided I’d like to change that a bit. So my first attempt is going to be this summary of what I’ve done this year.

Fics Posted

take me home, you're my, my, my, my... (Drarry, 157.4k, E)

Potter – I have found myself in a position in which I am desperate for assistance. I know I have no right to reach out to you for help, but I know of no other option. Could you be amenable to meet up with me someplace private, can be of your choosing, to discuss this matter? Please. Draco Malfoy A Malfoy mystery. His favorite kind.

I’ve been writing this one since Nov 2021 and I unfortunately was only able to update one chapter on it all year long. I yearn for my muse for this fic to return to me so I can finish this bad boy off.

in a party bathroom (Drarry, 16.4k, M, HD Mpreg fest)

He hadn't even wanted to go to the ridiculous party, let alone planned on shagging Potter in a port-a-john while he was there. But he did, and oh, what fun the consequences it brought were...

This one has found itself on a few rec lists this year and I’m very pleased about that. Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed it and promoted it💖

boy, you might have me believing i don't always have to be alone (Dron Friendship, 102.1k, M)

Eighth year was not nearly as painful as he expected it to be. Honestly, Ron would be on cloud nine if only Harry would let them help him. But Harry kept insisting he was fine; his denial was so strong he didn't even see how bloody weird it was that he didn't care that Malfoy was acting weird. It only made sense then to Ron that with Harry not up for the task, it was on Ron's shoulders to watch and take care of the prat.

Started this in Nov 2022 and this year I did Chapters 9-18. This baby lives in my head allll the bloody time, if only that could then translate onto the keyboard with as much ease, then I could have it done already. This one isn’t all that popular, but I’ve got a small gathering of devotees, and that makes it so freaking special 🥰

unless you're choosing me (Dron, 31.4k, M, Soulmate Fest)

A soulmate was a choice. It was two people deciding to spend the rest of their lives together, weathering any storm. That was a fact that Ron would hold as truth for the rest of his life. Even when the Unspeakables found a spell in some ancient text that tied soulmates together with a red cord and showed them a moment of their "true love". It was a hoax, he was sure of it. But no one else agreed, willing to upend their lives just because a stupid spell said so. Ron wouldn't have minded so much if it hadn't wrecked his.

OMG, this fic. I was just freaking perusing the Soulmate Fest prompt list out of curiosity only, NO intention of participating since the due date was like in under two weeks. But then I saw this one prompt (Thank you Dr.P’s hubby) and I was struck dumb with an idea, then wrote the first 11.4k in 24hrs, breaking my record by an extra 2.5k. Honestly so fucking baffled by myself when 3k on a normal day is a stretch.

misty morning comes again (Dron, 4.4k, M, Unleashed Fest)

Every morning without snow on the ground or rain that turned the land into a slip and slide of mud and wet grass, Ron ran the property with his misfit herd of barnyard animals close behind him. The thrilling tease of watching Ron's solid, sweat-glistening body do its lap around the misty morning pond was just about the only thing that could get Draco willingly out of bed so soon after the summer sun rose. Barn chores and animal butts certainly weren't going to do it.

Hands Down My Favorite thing I’ve written this year. I give it a quick reread all the time. I normally don’t care too much about my stats. But I love this fic so bloody much that it bothers me a weeee bit that it’s my lowest hit fic. Only really cuz I get so much joy from it that I just wanna share that joy with others but it seems to have passed under people’s radar.

all of this silence and patience (Dron, 9.9k, M, Pumpkin Spice Fest)

Thanks to the lack of a natural baby boom after the war, The Post-War Reunification and Family Reformation Act of 2003 passed, damning Draco to a long, miserable life with Ronald Bloody Weasley. With nothing left to lose, they might as well try Luna's suggestion, even if the idea of snuggling Weasley sounded like a unique method of torture. Pumpkin Spice Fest Prompt: Morning Fog, Snuggles, and Marriage Law

This was the first fest I’ve ever done with a max word count and I honestly thought 10k was plenty for my idea with this prompt… I ended up having to cut three sections and hunt down every possible contraction I could create to make it three words shy of the max 😶

your seat, it's the best seat (Dron, 17.4k, E, Rare Pair Fest)

In the moment, it hadn’t occurred to him that taunting Draco into sitting on his lap once would open the door for Draco to keep doing so, even when other chairs existed. Nor had he known that the consequence of becoming Draco's furniture was how hard he'd fall in love with someone who didn't fancy him back.

I almost pitched this fic so many times. It was a fucking brawl to finish it. Thank you, Amia, for reading it over tho and hyping it up. I’m way more proud of it than I was then and I appreciate you convincing me to persevere 💖

Art Posted

[ART] how the hell... (Drarry, G, Unleashed Fest)

Prompt: Harry has no idea how a white highland cow got inside 12 Grimmauld Place, nor why it seems to have a strange affinity for the fancy French chocolates one of his admirers keeps sending him...

Never have I thought I’d participate in a fest with my art, but here we are. I’m honestly quite proud of it…. As long as I don’t think about my struggles with perspective… but hey, my little dumb details like the scrub brushes in the sink and the post-it notes are my favorite things I’ve done. Also??? I’ve never drawn an animal before so I’m proud of that too tbh

⊹

Overall Notes For The Year ✨

I cannot believe how many fests I participated in this year and how many I was so sad to not be able to do like Kinktober and Deflower December. But I’m so so thankful that I participated in the ones I did because it led me to fest servers where I really got a chance to alpha and beta for other writers. Not only did I get to talk to awesome people and make a friend, but these wonderful writers undid so much damage from some bad shit that happened to me in high school English classes. I have been denying myself becoming a professional editor despite my love of it for a decade but between my therapist’s support and these writers insisting I had talents as an editor, even requesting my little write-up about beefing up your writing in 2nd edits, I’m now ready to face those fears. It’s gonna be tough but I’m also so excited in a way I’ve never felt about life outside of writing fanfiction.

(Also, what the fuck is up with me having my word counts end in .4? I managed that in 5 out of 7 fics as well as my overall for the year??? Odd AF)

⊹

2024 Goals

Right now, I have plans for participating in Knot, Dronarry, HD Mpreg, and Love of a Weasley fest with dreams of participating in SEVERAL others. I also HOPE with every fiber of my being that I finish ‘take me home...’ and part one of ‘boy, you might have me...’ in 2024. Got my fingers to fucking crossed for that 🤞🤞🤞

✨May we all have a year full of the planets called Free Time, Great Ideas, and Energy (and Skill for those like me who have skill loss when overwhelmed with life) being aligned so we can create all those wonderful fics floating in the universe, begging to be shared.✨

2022 Fic Review 📖📝

thanks for the tag, my dear @gaylord-zuko !!! This is going to be fun! (I hope) I wrote a TON the first half of the year, and then it sort of teetered out... so let's see what the damage is!

Most popular fic: Yes, Daddy - my 2022 @call-me-daddy-fic-fest fic! I really embraced my breeding kink here, and fell completely head over heels for Scarry in the process! Can't wait for this year's fest works!

My favorite fic: Wait For Me - My ultimate Dralbus for @hp-nextgen-fest - "it was only going to be 20k" - yeah, okay. My longest fic to date (and the longest Dralbus on AO3 😳) at 85k. Exploring the growth of their relationship over the course of 17 years was quite the feat. I almost didn't make it, you can thank @makeitp1nk for being the world's best beta and cheerleader. I'm so glad I finished it and I absolutely love it.

Most unexpected fic: And Still I Dream - My H/D Reverse bang ( @harrydracobang ) work and the very first all out AU. I never read AU, and I never in a million years pictured myself writing one, and yet I did! When I saw Gaudium's art - wow - the story was just there. Took me right back to my own high school days. Theatre Nerd Draco and Basketball Jock Harry for the win! Oh, and Draco sings Les Mis... a lot lol.

Fics for next year: Well... I have 1 collab and 3 WIPs that I want to finish, or at least get well on their way....

Until You're In My Arms Again (Remeber Me): my heartbreaking Rarry amnesia fic collab with @stonedregulus - I'm so thrilled you were willing to do this with me. I don't doubt it will be one of the best things we've ever made. 💕

Time Heals All Wounds: A Snarry time-travel/soulmate fic that has been around since 2019?? It's my most popular work to date, and I really need to finish it. 😭

For Love and Legacy: A James/Lucius that takes the Drarry dynamic to the next level - strangers / enemies to lovers with denial of feelings and fake(ish) dating - lord of smut and drama - but what would a story about Lucius be if not drama??

The Wands Chose the Wizards: My 2021 Tomarry Big Bang that has been chilling for far too long. A Drarry to Tomarry fic with Time Travel, and the launching of a new ship: Draco/Lestrange Sr. - I did manage to post a chapter last week and fell right back in love with the story!

I have my Call Me Daddy 2022 fic in the works, with a pairing I've wanted to write for ages! I can't wait! There's also @hpshipuary and @kinkuary ... so who knows what might happen!!!

I've been doing a lot of fandom hopping and have a lot of fun writing for Anime fandoms too, like Sk8, Naruto, and Free!, with plans for more. BNHA, I'm looking at you! (I use an alternative alias for these 🤫)

Next fic I plan on writing: From scratch? Oh goodness... My ideas are always endless and often hit me like lightning with no prior warning. Hopefully I can make a dent in those above! 😅

Summary:

Months after his soulmark comes in, Harry makes a desperate attempt to escape his dire home life, hoping with all that he is that his soulmate won't reject him. It's all the hope he has left.

[drarrydisabilityfest]

hi mods, upon submitting the claiming form, it says 'Thank you for claiming a prompt for HP Soulmates Fest 2022!' instead of drarry disability fest 2023. just thought i'd let you know. thanks

Hello! Thank you so much for letting us know, this should be fixed now :)

[assassinsdragons]

Is it ok if I link two??

Cause… I didn’t post a whole lot of works last year, but the ones I did post..? I felt proud of them, since I worked hard to get every single word out for them.

And two of those. Well. I can’t pick one. Especially not since they’re different ships too.

Okay, so here goes.

1. Once Upon a Walk in the Woods, (15,670 words, Drarry). Written for LCD 2022.

Rating: Teen and Up

Tags/Warnings: Sleeping Curse, Blood, Imprisonment, Sleeping Beauty AU, Lights Camera Drarry 2022, Various POVs, Not Canon Compliant, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Arranged Marriage, Fairytale AU, Devious Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy Being an Asshole, Good Parent Narcissa Black Malfoy, Regulus Black Lives, Sirius Black Lives, Happy Ending, Other Ships Not Mentioned in the Tags: Wolfstar

Summary:

It was prophesied that before the sun set on Draco’s eighteenth birthday, he’d fall victim to a curse which would send him into a deep sleep from which he’d never wake. At least, that’s what his father had told him for as long as he could remember. And it was the reason his parents kept him locked inside of his rooms.

Excerpt:

His favourite time to be outside, though, was in the evenings at the end of August. With the sun warming during the day, the temperature was always perfect all through the night, and leftover aroma of summer hung in the air, but Draco could still smell the hints of the dawning autumn. It felt like change, and every year, he wished that his confinement would pass with the summer.

It never did, and having his hopes crushed hurt increasingly much each time.

2. The Art of Revealing Secrets, (25,555 words, Panville). Written for HP Soulmates Fest 2022.

Rating: Teen and Up

Tags/warnings: Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Romantic Soulmates, Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Draco Malfoy & Pansy Parkinson Friendship, POV Pansy Parkinson, POV Third Person, BAMF Neville Longbottom, Head Auror Neville Longbottom, Pining, Falling In Love, Prejudicial Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Undercover, Undercover Mission, Pureblood Cult, Case Fic, Fake Dating, Duelling, Spells & Enchantments, Interior Design Planner Pansy, Background Relationships: Harry x Draco, Kidnapping, Dark Magic, Ron Weasley is a Good Friend, Loss of Magic

Summary:

Pansy has known since their days at Hogwarts that she and Neville were fated. She never told him, never told a soul. Now, years later, faced with an unbearable choice, she finds herself reaching out to her unwitting soulmate out of pure desperation. She can only hope that he's the sentimental man she always envisioned him to be and not the cynical auror he seems to have become...

Or, the story of how Pansy learns there is no evading fate.

Excerpt:

When she gets to the point of Draco’s disappearance, Neville puts the quill down. He listens to what she tells him, whilst he stares intently at her.

“Why didn’t you start by telling me these last parts?” he asks, a few beats after she has gone quiet.

“Because I wanted you to know who Draco is today, instead of expecting him to be the same – or worse – as he was when you last knew him.”

“I never knew him. Not really. And I was hoping that you’d think more highly of me. That you wouldn’t think I’d fall for something as commonplace prejudice.”

“I was hoping you weren’t an arsehole,” Pansy retorts, “but I can’t expect you to be without faults, can I?”

Neville looks intently at her, and she returns his stare cooly. She doesn’t break his gaze.

Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but… it’s wanna share these anyway :)

Cheers, and good night 😘

hey pals will you do me this honor?

Reblog this and link me one of YOUR fics that you are proud of?? Artist, link me a thing you’re made that you’re proud of!! 

xox phdm (<- @wolfpants​ called me this and it made me

also that is startling large but it made me laugh so I’m just going with it)

[orange-peony]

Drarry + minor Blairon & Linny I Explicit I 13k I soulmarks, soulmates, touch-starved Harry Potter, lots of comfort, minor angst with a happy ending, fluff and smut, first time, post war, Draco knows so many facts.

Summary:  It all starts with a pair of chilly feet under Harry Potter’s bum.

I can finally claim my fic for @hp-soulmates​! 

I really enjoyed writing this fic, and I poured a lot of myself into this Draco, with all his insecurities and the random facts he collects. I honestly don’t think I would have managed to get it done on time without my amazing and super fast beta @crazybutgood​, who left so many lovely comments on my draft and filled my heart with joy.

Another shiny thank you goes to @avenueofesc​ and @bubble-gumhead​, who put up with my daily freaking out sessions.

Finally, a huge thank you to the mods for running this incredibly lovely fest. You’re amazing!
