Drarry Tag Game

(Answer any questions you’d like and ignore the rest!)

Thank you for tag @goblinmatriarch ! Sorry this is late 😅 Life is... not good. Anyway, here's mine:

When did you get into Drarry?

Oh I don't remember the exact year but I think it was like 2015-2016 ish maybe? it's especially unclear cos I joined HP fandom after I discovered Dramione, so that was my first ship, until I happened across a Drarry fic. So I'm not sure when exactly that happened

Which drarry fic hooked you?

Again, I don't remember which was my first one but the first one I absolutely loved and got me even more in love with Drarry and still remains my go-to fave today is All Our Secrets Laid Bare.

Top 3 favourite Drarry fics

Just three?! Noo omg ok ok I'm just going to say the last 3 non-anon ones that I read for the first time + 1 bonus I just re-read that I love and can't help including:

Young Love by @teacup-tai

Criminal by @the-sinking-ship

unrequired love by thedoomofvalyria

A Sense of Scale by @fantalf with art by @dragontamerdame

Why can't you quit them?

I just love them ok 😭 I like reading them being happy and in love with each other, in all sorts of universes in different stories. That's literally it 😅 There's a lot of great meta discussion and hcs and other sorts of descriptions why they're a great ship too and I agree with all that, but also I just love their love

Would you rather be friends with Harry or Draco?

I feel like I would rather be their therapist, as @phd-mama has pointed out too, and I totally agree

Who breaks your heart more often?

Ohh this is a tough one, because it really depends on the story, but I feel like it's Draco

Ideal career for Harry? Draco?

For Harry probably Quidditch player or coach at Hogwarts. Or just any job that involves teaching or caring for kids. For Draco hm perhaps a professor or a writer. Or a healer

Harry and Draco are being sent to a desert island for a week with plenty of food and water. Each is allowed to bring three additional items (no wands). What do they bring?

Omg @goblinmatriarch I love your answer 😂 I do agree Draco would bring some practical book for first aid and survival, his broomstick, and I'd say sunscreen

I also agree Harry would bring a snitch and broomstick, and I'd also say he'd bring any portable music player (probably 2 for battery purposes? Sorry if this doesn't make sense lol)

Favourite non-drarry HP character?

Ahhh ok Hermione has forever been my favourite. I also love Luna

If you had to pick one, enemies to lovers or (enemies to) friends to lovers?

Friends to lovers

Would you rather read a fic that made you laugh or one that made you cry?

I MEAN,, I like reading fics that are heartfelt and with soft feels and those make me cry, so those that make me happy-cry I guess! I do like fics that make me laugh too

Three songs that scream drarry to you (feel free to include drarry-est lyrics)

Ahh ok I've made whole-ass playlists for them, but the songs are not in English, sorry 😅

Favourite authors outside of fic?

Neil Gaiman, P. G. Wodehouse, Sylvia Plath, Oscar Wilde, Ruskin Bond, Jodi Picoult, Mitch Albom, Markus Zusak, Lisa Gardner, Simon Kernick, David Baldacci, Derek Landy, Danielle Lim, Sophie Kinsella

Tagging those I've mentioned above + @curlyy-hair-dont-care @pennygalleon @andithiel @orange-peony @corvuscrowned @whataboutmyfries @textrovert-01 if you'd like, and anyone else who'd like to do this!

Okay so I adored your brosten hcs so much 🥺 they were adorable. I was wondering do you have any andreil hcs?

Thank you, and absolutely I do!!!! 

They lock pinkies everywhere they go

It’s just a small, reassuring touch on a harmless place for both of them that grounds them

Whenever Allison takes Neil shopping, Andrew forces him to do a “fashion show” with all his new clothes to “ensure that Reynolds got you clothing fit for the general public” (but Andrew really just wants an excuse to look at Neil for an extended period of time)

Neil knows exactly what kind of ice cream Andrew will want based on his given mood

Caramel when he’s angry, mint-chocolate chip when he’s having a bad day, cookies and cream when he’s pissed off specifically at Kevin, etc.

Andrew cuts Neils hair, and he does a damn good job

It started because one time, Nicky mentioned that Neil should get his hair cut with Nicky and Neil turned deathly pale and couldn’t really engage anybody the rest of the night

The next morning, Andrew held up a razor and just said, “Yes or no? I’ve been doing my own for years.” The relief and gratitude rolling off Neil was palpable

When they get to move in together for the first time after being signed to the same team, they put away their clothes at the same time and it’s the most peace Andrew has ever felt in his life

Neil paints Andrew’s nails black for him

They constantly go for long drives, just to be with each other

Neil pays for every single car Andrew ever gets, and both their names go on the paperwork

Andrew always pays for dinner when they go out, groceries, bills, etc. because, quote, “I’m not the indentured servant to the yakuza. My money’s mine.” 

Neil sleeps without a shirt because when Andrew wakes up Neil’s scars help him to remember where he is and who he’s with 

Their cats like Andrew more

It baffles both of them

They do end up getting married because Neil ends up in the hospital and Andrew almost gets arrested when they tell him he can’t go in to see Neil

They have rings but don’t wear them unless they’re going out or doing something special

One day, out of the blue, Andrew comes home with a little ‘yes’ tattooed on his right shoulder and tells Neil that he doesn’t have to ask anymore

Neil immediately forces Andrew to take him to get a matching tattoo

It’s the only tattoo Andrew ever gets but Neil gets a bunch more

A fox paw, the date of Dan and Matt’s wedding, a middle finger because Nicky wanted him to, among other inconsequential things (Katelyn likes to doodle, and Neil gets a TON of her doodles tattooed onto him in an effort to bond with her and Aaron for Andrew’s sake)

Andrew likes to kiss Neil’s tattoos when he’s sleeping to wake him up

They like to drink coffee together on their balcony; usually in the morning but if one of them wakes up in the middle of the night they’ll go out there and drink coffee to calm down

They just like to hang out with each other-they feel safe together

Thank you for the ask!!!
