“Sorry, sir. . .” the secretary flicked up his shades as he addressed Lo properly, “you’re right.”

The parchment, quills and ink were simply banished with a quick wave of his hand, putting James immediately into a better mood. He smiled, putting his shade back down covering his eyes, leaning back into his deck chair. “Thank you again for inviting me - I really needed this.”

[just-asimple-brunette]

The secretary practically jumped out of his skin upon hearing the roar of fire.

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

Clothes were put through wrong holes as James tried to fill his limbs with some decency. If only a pit big enough could swallow him whole right now, seeing Oliver’s disappointment, not to mention Lo completely breaking down, James felt like he was going to be sick.

There was a long pause of silence after Oliver left, the secretary stood behind the man uncertain if he should mutter a word. “I’m s-sorry . . .” croaked James clearing his throat, “Lo -- I’m so sorry.”

Lo couldn’t help but laugh as well. Even in their drunken stupor, he could still recognize James’ innocence and naïveté. It was cute and endearing, something that distracted Lo from the reality of his life. For a moment, he forgot all about the possibility of Oliver being dead by the hand of Grindelwald and his fanatics. Right now, all he could think about was how soft James’ lips looked. He leaned in closer, noses barely brushing against each other, while their breathing became one. “Something like that…you’re so cute.”

The fact that she sums up being Black as cornrows and Motown offers great insight into why in Harry Potter she gave her only Irish character the name Seamus Finnegan, the most notable Black character Kingsley Shacklebolt and the only East Asian character Cho Chang. Part of me wants to engage with this line of thinking and explain why race and gender are structurally very different despite both being social constructs and then I remember that none of these people actually care about that shit.

Day 23: a crossover or AU fic

📚 All These Winding Threads by Anonymous

Draco/Harry, 35k, E

written for @hd-erised

Summary:

The tides of Draco’s accidental magic pull him under and leave him gasping. There’s a hungry ache that sits deep in his bones, growing worse every day. Soon it’s all he’ll be, a starving skeleton clawing at its throat. He needs a solution. Unfortunately, that solution looks an awful lot like Harry Potter.

I hope to God that Hogwarts Eighth Year counts as an AU because I just HAD TO include this fic. And while it’s still anonymous no less!

As you know from my day 7 rec I absolutely adore bond fics – and this one de-li-vers. It has all the elements of the trope – the forced proximity, the resulting change of dynamics, the h/c in between, the yearning later on!

The boys are actually pretty mature in this characterisation so they get over themselves relatively quickly (not without hiccups of course, not with our Harry dearest responding to Draco coming out as gay with "That's nice" xd Which is why I used the word mature; I guess you can be that and still completely clueless xd).

Relationship angst aside, we get to focus on the plot and the mistery of the magic exchange between Harry and Draco. And what an alluring take on magical theory it takes! It reminded me of Beholden by @faith2wood (which I have recced as my day 12 fic) and I mean it as a huge complement <3

One more aspect of the writing I have to highlight is the delightful way the boys feel each other’s magic is described:

His magic is a cool breeze on Draco’s cheeks.

It has his heart rabbiting, a sudden swell of magic rising in his chest. It’s less a roar this time and more a crashing wave, rushing up his spine and across his shoulders, drawing blood to his cheeks. He tries to breathe with it and finds he can—an easy breath that feels soothing in his lungs.

Potter’s magic, filling the air again now that he’s close, feels horribly like crawling into his bed at home.

His presence is like standing with your eyes closed in the warm spring air and still knowing exactly where the sun is.

And then they refer to it as „their” magic and suddenly they can feel each other’s emotions and SHARE DREAMS and I am melted into the floor. Now imagine the sex scenes with all the magic between them. You’re welcome ^^

Quotes and spoilers under the cut as I was live-commenting this fic as I was reading, I have to do this more often!

Thank you once again for the prompt @hprecfest and see you in the next one! (I'm pretending I am not a week late with these ^^)

“Draco.” His name, gentle and cajoling, chills him. It was his mother who said it last, wasn’t it? I love you, Draco, half caught on a sob as they passed each other between trials “Something has happened to your magic.”

Was that really necessary 😭😭😭

Where the rest of the world still feels a touch too much, this is a too much he craves.

Draco bby 🤍

Potter’s anger flares into the room suddenly and Draco shivers at the heat it sends over his skin. Finally. “Why do you keep following me around?” “As it so happens, I’ll die if I don’t.” Potter’s jaw ticks. “You know that’s not what I mean.” “Then use the proper tense, Potter. I know you’re a bit dull, but—” He has Draco by his shirt collar in the next second, and Draco can’t help but grin. “There you are.”

*Soft Dom!Draco has entered the conversation*

“What are you looking for in the Forest?” “You cry in your sleep.”

Communication skills at your finest Harry, good job xd

Draco is on the cliff edge again. His bed is behind him, lonely, safe. Cold. And in front of him, staggering, terrifying: Potter.

Jump baby jump!!!

„No one to tuck you in and tell you how special you are?” Potter’s face falls, silence with it. Draco feels a sudden chord of pain in his magic. He swallows down the need to fix it.

Yes, please, fix it!!

They don’t breathe a word of it during the day, but the bags under Potter’s eyes are finally fading. Now, Draco simply lifts his duvet in offering when Potter comes out of the bathroom and he crawls in without a word, always a careful distance between them, always a studied silence until they both fall asleep.

Oh my, the “all is normal in daylight as long as we don’t talk about the in between ” 😅

„He doesn’t want to be whole if whole means not with Harry.”

😭

Red faced from the forward reply, James spent the rest of the day busying himself with matters of mundane to keep distracted on thoughts of tonight. Later into the evening did the secretary finally shape up, dressing in more casual clothes than he normally wore for work and dousing his body with a woody cologne, James once again came to Rico’s home where he waited with a fresh bouquet of roses.

AU, mermaid Draco.

Harry, as the son of minor nobel, is invited to the circus. Then he falls in love at first sight.

The first meeting begins with:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you our new acquisition, the merman!"

Some time later, it ends with:

This drarry heartbreaker Harry Twitter thread is 11/10!!! And if you see this read it then go to their page and vote for it to have a part 5!!! Btw part 4 isn’t linked so got to their page and click on fic thread and part 4 will be there.

That’s the vote btw!

Really getting tired of the "people weren't critical of [piece of media] until [insert either next subpar installment or creator fuckup causes mainstream opinion reversal]" arguments. I guarantee you every piece of media has had its share of critics, regardless of its popularity, and suggesting that someone's criticisms aren't valid and that they're just doing so because it's popular to do now is...well, it's kinda gross tbh

James looked exactly like a kid in a candy shop, sweet treats were always an easy way to his heart, “wow -- I don’t know what to say,” seemingly the secretary was getting a little choked up on emotions, “thank you so much!” James took a deep breath and blew out the candles, each one exploding into mini fireworks as he passed. Jordan certainly liked to show off even when not in the room. Reaching down beside him, James took the first box on the tower of presents, softly he gave it a little shake to his ear before opening. “Hm let me guess . . . a boggart?!” 

Continued from here x

Yuka smiled as he placed the cake atop of James’s desk, the candles lighting themselves. “Yes, this is from him,” she placed a small, neatly wrapped box on the desk, “And these are from me.”

Four boxes made their way onto the floor next to James, all wrapped in a softly pastel pink color, and stacked themselves neatly. “Happy birthday, James.”

do u guys have any idea the amount of self control i have 2 exercise in this fandom. every time i see a self-proclaimed "gen z marauders fan" talking about how they enjoy fandom in a totally cool + non-cringey way (reads hp fanfiction, gets hp tattoos, makes tiktoks lipsyncing to popular audios pretending to be hp characters) as opposed to millenials who enjoy fandom in such a cringey way (reads different hp fanfiction, gets different hp tattoos, makes tiktoks lipsyncing to different audios + pretending to be different hp characters) it is like i am a lion watching a wounded gazelle limp past. i am a blood-sniffing shark and these people are bleeding baby seals. personally i believe that everyone has a right to enjoy fandom in whatever cringey way they wish (cringe is inevitable if u are reading hp fanfic in 2023 i fear). however if u are going 2 proclaim that ur way is Superior and Cooler than The Old People......god. u are a mouse w a broken leg and i am a starving owl.

The sick secretary thanked Hana for the water as he sat up and drank deeply, Jordan on the other hand scoffed at Matteo and pushed past the vampire to properly inspect his cousin. “Are you alright James?” He asked, concern hitting his tone, Jordan acted like the other two werent in the room as he approached the bed, “I’m okay - just got the flu I think?” James offered a weak smile hidden behind the rim of the glass of water. “You two pests can leave,” announced Jordan, addressing Hana and Matteo, “I’m here now to take care of my cousin!” The sick secretary sighed, placing his glass on the nearby night stand, “Jordan I --” however he gave James one of those looks like an older brother would. “I won’t ask again!”

Storming past her, having visited James’ apartment numerous times, Jordan knew exactly the way towards his cousin’s room. Once more he pocketed his wand and kept his head held high, unintresed in the monsters that James homed. Before barging into the bedroom and scaring his eyes, Jordan knocked on the door several times, “couisn! It’s Me -- I wish to see you!” The secretary on the other hand, rolled in his bed disgruntled, “j-just a second!” Croaked James, nudging his vampire companion to answer the door in some sort of clothing.

So, I know that we collectively despise the Rolling Terf (and I totally agree), but! If we proclaim the death of the author of the HP series just for this prompt, are y'all willing to hear me out? 🥺

Here's the thing: before being introduced to the Batfam and Bruce's adoptions problem, for me the Ultimate Children Adopter was Molly Weasley.

Never leave an unattended child in her area, otherwise they'll be adopted and receive a knitted sweater for Christmas.

Despite her lacks (like trusting Dumbledore's opinion too much and allowing Harry to get back to the Dursley every summer, favoring Ginny over her other children, etc.), her motherhenning is top tier and her hospitality is the best...

And may the Ancient have mercy on the soul of anyone who threatens her children, because she won't. (I still cackle like a mad creachure every time I remember that the only swear-bomb of the series was dropped by her while fighting Bellatrix! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠))

Does all of this ring a bell? 〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜

Now! For the actual prompt:

Should Bruce and Molly meet because of Danny (either Fenton or Phantom) shenanigans, what would happen?

Would they fight each other over his custody or become a combined monster of love, care and "look at our boy wrong and you'll end as a teapot then shipped to an undisclosed location"? 👀👀
