Where I've Been

Hey all! It's Bee, formerly known as Suki. I've come back after a long while. I know I mentioned in my other post what happened but things have changed now.

Not only has school been such a busy thing but I also have a job now, so I just don't have a lot of time to write, even on my ao3 account skull_cake.

Not tormenting my mental health hasn't been the best.

But I will be coming back!! AND I'm gonna completely retheme and change the aesthefic of my page! Idk exactly what I'll post but maybe just random headcanons I get. Idk. We'll see!

[monmuses]

gonna try to focus off of tumblr while i have my queue full. i'm heading home in a couple of days and i need to focus on homework. that, and i'm... not exactly in the best of moods with some stuff i've been seeing for the past couple of days (just a build-up of stuff, including today).

apologies to the new folks (and old folks with new blogs) that have followed me recently - i'm probably not gonna get my queue back up and running til i get home. i'm in need of a major distraction and i need to focus on everything else before going home.

//alright sweet peas, here's the sitch. I'm in a very weird place atm where writing is concerned. I have a loooooot of muse (for existing and new muses) and a strong desire to plot/get new things going, with an attachment to my existing threads. but I'm also feeling pretty insecure about my writing and a detachment from the process of draft writing itself? toss in all the aches and pains I've been struggling with and it's just not a crazy fun time. currently trying to take the pressure off myself so consider this a very loose semi-hiatus notice. I'm still here lurking, I'm still plotting away, I'm still going to attempt drafts when I can, but I don't want to feel guilty when nothing clicks? this is a bit long-winded but I wanted to be transparent with y'all since I've been fortunate enough to find a really amazing group of writers. thank you for understanding and I truly hope to be back in business asap. happy monday and all my love <3333//

Thanks for this amazing answer @fluxweeed 😊. I’ve been having a horrid time recently recovering from Covid and struggling with post/Covid syndrome (☠️) while getting no sleep (insomnia ☠️☠️) and marking piles of philosophy essays (☠️☠️☠️). But this reply to my ask has cheered me up immensely and I feel like I can face the day and get out of bed (it’s 2 pm😅).

I really love an unredeemed and downright mean, fully in character Draco, and so much of what you wrote resonated with me. I often search for fics with him written like that and apart from a few I’ve read again and again I don’t often find many, so I’m excited to read the fics you mentioned as I don’t think I have yet!!

Here are a few of my fave unredeemed/ arsehole/morally grey Draco fics too in case anyone hasn’t read them:

A Fox’s Bargain by Raitala (6K)

Summary: Harry made a bargain with Draco. He knew it was going to come back and bite him on the arse, he just didn’t think about what exactly Draco would ask for. Draco would say that Harry must have known deep down what he was agreeing to, but then Draco is a prick and what would he know?

Moneymaker by Dictacontrion (17K)

Summary: As a top trader, Draco has power and money, suits and cars, houses and good champagne - everything a person could want. So when Auror Potter comes looking for help, Draco can't think of anything that might persuade him to lend a hand

Well...maybe one thing.

If an Injury is to be Inflicted by Shealwaysreads (45K)

Summary: If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.

Harry Potter disappeared a year after the Battle of Hogwarts, and with him went all hope for true change in magical Britain.

Three years later, Draco indulges himself and attends his first Dog Fight—the infamous underground fights with no rules, no referee, and no points system bar blood on the floor. The game was simple: you win, or you die.

A glint of green amidst the blood-red changes everything.

Hii, I just discovered your fics and am reading my way through them. Love, love, love the ones I’ve read so far.😊 I was just wondering what your favourite Draco is you’ve written, and what your fave Draco is in fics written by others? ☺️

ACK thank you!! what a question!! i've considered this v carefully and it turns out i have………a lot of thoughts. i will keep them under a cut so nobody is accosted with a full 700 words of my Draco Opinions 😂 so my quick answer is:

my fave draco i've written: the taste of țuică my fave draco ever: rookie moves by peu_a_peu

draco is an interesting one for me bc i don't really LIKE him? but i have sooo many feelings about him. really not sure i could summon the same fervour for harry, for example, who is my number one boy forever and always.

(i saw a thing once that said a pairing becomes ur otp when u relate to one of the characters and want to fuck the other one, and 🙈 i mean, i think you're supposed to relate to the gryffindor, aren't you. whoops.)

OKAY SO HERE'S THE UNHINGED DRACO MALFOY ESSAY BY FLUX W. EED.

listen. i love and respect people who are Refined Draco enjoyers. connoisseurs of redemption arcs. appreciators of majestic malfoy bone structure and ethereal grey eyes and soft windswept hair. fans of dracos who insult harry (with hidden affection) and who are a bit snobbish (in a rich, sexy way) but ultimately have realised the error of their teenage years and have become a better person. perhaps this draco has built a potions business and helps the aurors. perhaps he IS an auror. either way, he has a biting sense of humour, maybe, but he's a good guy.

unfortunately, the draco of my heart is a horrid mean little rat man.

i've never actually managed to write him the way i love him. i tried to aim for immoral bastardy in what's mine is yours but i got so caught up in trying to nail the feelsforbreakfast-style humour in the narrative that i ended up focusing much more on that and much less on writing genuine bastardhood.

i've written him as reserved and clever (in the four doors – this draco was written entirely for @jovialobservationanchor, who had a weak spot for closed-off academics with soft centres) and as a traumatised self-loathing mess (in two to lie and to some extent for lack of wanting and say no to this) and hopelessly sexually/emotionally horny for one harry james potter (in, um, most things) but i've never managed to capture the genuine cruel streak and flawed personality that is sooo so important to me.

WHICH IS WHY i picked țuică!draco for my favourite of the ones i've written. he's still a bit too emotionally intelligent to be Just Right, imo, but i think he's maybe the closest? he's unrepentantly rude to people. he's not attractive. and he has a streak of self-destructive fucked-upedness that is some form of wartime guilt, but certainly not a pretty one.

HOWEVER. rookie moves?? NAILED it. i adooored how genuinely fuckin MEAN he is, even tho he's an auror. i love love LOVED that he's kind of bad at his job in a way that's in complete opposition to how drarry!draco is often written these days:

The look on Malfoy’s face was not only troubling, Harry realized, but familiar. At once activated and dead behind the eyes, like an invasive species in an ecosystem that could not check it. It was the look of the meanest fucking teenager Harry had ever known, giving in to his urge to bully.

-

What Malfoy wasn’t good with was people. Despite his repeated insistences that his upbringing had equipped him with impeccable manners and a facility with society intrigue, the truth was that he rubbed almost everyone the wrong way. He was, undeniably, annoying. Witnesses were put off by his snide, dismissive tone, and he didn’t know how to coax out information with curiosity, warmth, or strategic silence.

that's not to say unrepentant cunt draco is the only one for me!! i DO enjoy the classic redeemed drarry draco!! i love a quirky draco, à la wwpwcs or maya's drop dead gorgeous. gallaplacidia's draco is sooo painful for me to read (complimentary) that even though i adore her fics, i still haven't read them all bc i have to space them out, for my health. and i'm sure there are dozens more dracos that i'm forgetting how much i like – basically, as long as he isn't super suave, absolutely gorgeous and/or obviously tom felton, i'm on board.
