Obvious hate for Rowling and HBO put entirely aside, what do you think about the casting choices?
You’re never gonna catch me talking about that bullshit show on my blog, but since it’s been asked I will clarify my opinion a final time for good measure.
There is no putting entirely aside hate for Rowling and HBO when her hate is so ingrained in everything she does. HBO has clearly shown where they stand simply by working with her and further sharing her IP in a way that makes her money. JK Rowling never puts aside her hate for me as a person, nor my community and thus I cannot do the same for her. If it was me and her in a dark alley I would be swinging at her and I don’t care if that makes me sound like a cunt. Fuck transphobes unconditionally.
That being said when it comes to the casting of this series I hope it becomes everyone’s worst nightmare. I hope no one looks like their book descriptions, I hope you get none of your fancasts, I hope everyone gets to see the actor they hate the most in there, I hope every actor that take part in this delivers their worst performance to date and I deeply, deeply wish associating with her will ruin their career from here on out. I hope with every part of my being that the entire franchise gets completely ruined for the dumbfucks who decide to give JKR and HBO their money because they deserve nothing but the worst. I hope every idiot who gets baited by the promise of wolfstar or drarry or whatever the fuck gay ship you want in there has the worst time of their life. I hope they actively ruin your favourite things about canon and I hope you can never see your favourite characters the same ever again. I hope you get shunned by the marauders fandom, a fandom that is supposedly built on its hatred for JK Rowling and its love for diversity, because you clearly chose the transphobe. I hope your favourite artist and your favourite writers block you and I hope you lose all the friends you’ve created through this fandom because that is exactly what you will deserve. Because by supporting, engaging with or hell, even just talking about this stupid ass series you prove that your support is conditional and that you are not a safe person.
I will be watching who is cast in this series for one reason only and it is so I can assure that I never engage in any of their shit ever again.
If you intend to watch this show, whether pirated or not, you are not welcome on my blog and I urge you to unfollow me right now. I have been blocking people who engage with this cash grab asswipe of a show and I will continue to do so, so there’s that. When I say fuck JKR in my bio I mean it wholeheartedly and a nicely wrapped carrot held in front of my face won’t change that. If it changes that for you know that I have lost all respect for you as a person.
And with that I hope I’ve made myself clear. This is not directed towards anon, I’m choosing to believe that you had the best intentions with your ask, but now that I’ve made myself clear,,, well, no more of that now < 3

“It only hurts this much right now.” Was what I was thinking the whole time.
You walk down the hallway aside Mattheo, fingers intertwined. You agreed to try it out and it’s lasted a month, but that doesn’t stop everyone in the castle from starting rumors. He traces circles on the back of your hand with his thumbnail, in a comforting manner, he leans in to whisper in your ear “Let’s go back to my dorm, okay?” You nod. You two go to his dorm a lot, not to hook up, you haven’t had sex since the party, his dorm is like a safe space — and his friends are fucking awesome. You’ve barely even told Dorothea what your relationship has been like, becoming closer and closer with the Slytherins.
-
When you get into his dorm you take your robe off, leaving you in your white button-up, skirt that rests appropriately at your knees, calf high socks and black Doc Martens. Mattheo places your robe gently atop a chair next to his desk before taking his own robe off and kicking his shoes off. “Lay with me, love?” He asks sweetly which causes you to roll your eyes, but oblige. You lie next to him in the bed, just talking. That’s all you two ever do lately, though, it gives you a fair bit of anxiety — trusting him with your secrets. It terrifies you, actually. You need to just—
Breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out. I’ll be getting over you, my whole life.
Seriously. He’s unforgettable. You close your eyes and take a deep breath, trying to ease your nerves. Mattheo must feel how tense you are because he begins to trace stars on your back, it’s his little form of comfort. I’ve never been good at that, he’d told you once. Which seems like total bullshit because he always manages to calm you, or at least make you forget about your issues for a while. That also scares you, the fact he can make you want to cry, strangle him, and yourself, but also smile, laugh, hug him. Terrifies you. No one has ever impacted you this much. Everything is moving so fast, but Mattheo is there with you, along for the ride.
You know how scared I am of elevators. Never trust it if it rises fast, it can’t last.
-
You walk into your dorm, laying down on your bed and dropping your bag on the floor. You quickly turn over when you hear Dorothea’s voice “Look who’s finally home.” She says in an annoyed tone. “Dor? What are you doing in here?” You sit up, she looks at you with raised brows and crossed arms. “Really? You start dating Mattheo Riddle, leave me alone for weeks, get new friends and you’re asking me why I’m here?” You swallow, “You told me you’d get over him, you lied to me.” “Dorothea, c’mon, this is like—like a trial, to see if we’re good together, he’s really sweet.” You try to justify your actions “He’s Mattheo Riddle!” She whispers aggressively, shaking her head. “He’s my boyfriend!” You spit out, the word feeling foreign on your tongue. Dorothea visibly flinches, “What?” “He’s—he’s my boyfriend,” you repeat, more confidently. “You just said that the relationship was a trial.” “Well it is, but he’s still my boyfriend. Mine. So stop trying to criticize him and me simply because I care for him.” You breathe out that last part “You care for him?” She asks with a raised eyebrow. “Yes, I care for him. It’s not like—I’m in love with him or something, I just care.” You say quickly. You’re not in love with him. You can’t be, right?
Uh oh, I’m falling in love again. Oh no, I’m falling in love again. Oh, I’m falling in love. I thought the plane was going down how’d you turn it right around?
-
The day after your interaction with Dorothea is, odd, to say the least. You sit outside in the courtyard, leaning against a tree, you’ve been avoiding Mattheo like the plague ever since your revelation. This whole things just feels so—raw. But of course he found you.
It only feels this raw right now, lost in the labyrinth of my mind.
“Hey,” he gives you a small smile. “Hi.” You reply, he sits down next to you. “I haven’t seen you all day, you avoiding me?” That causes you to laugh—and also tell the truth with a few nods. “Yeah, yeah I have.” He tilts his head but doesn’t seem upset in the slightest. “Why’s that?” “Well—um,” you try to get the words out but they seem a little stuck. “It’s okay, take your time.” He brings his hand down to hold yours, tracing gentle circles on your palm. You smile and lean your head on his shoulder. “I care about you, Mattheo.” You admit. He grins, really grins. “I care about you too.” The boy says, “Really?” He nods “Always have,” he leans down so his lips are right next to your ear, “always will.” His whisper is like a secret for only you to hear, a promise that will never be broke, a sacred oath.
Break up, break free, break through, break down. You would break your back to make me break a smile.
-
“Boys!” You call out in a sing-song voice, “I’ve brought sweets!” They got in trouble for talking too loudly during class and were removed from this weeks Hogsmeade weekend, you decided to buy them some sweets. Blaise is the first to you, “Thank Merlin, Y/n!” He snatches a bag from you as you giggle. You toss some sweets onto Draco’s bed as all the boys thank you, Mattheo stands up and wraps his arms around you from behind, kissing your cheek. That action causes all the others to groan and tell you to “Get a room.” Pansy and Astoria walk into the room, talking animatedly, Astoria sits on Draco’s bed beside him, tossing bags of clothes at him, “I’ve got you a new suit.” He grins and kisses the side of her neck in thanks. “Y/n! You totally missed it,” Pansy exclaims, practically shoving Mattheo off of you to lock her arm onto yours. “We caught Weasley and Granger snogging in the bathrooms at Three Broomsticks!” You giggle at her words and sit down on Mattheo’s bed with her, “Seriously? You steal my girlfriend and now my bed?” He asks Pansy, in a mock-offended way, she sticks her tongue out at him. “C’est la vie.” Blaise shrugs with a smirk playing at his lips as he eats the chocolate you gave him. “Speaking of that,” Theodore begins “how’s the sex Matt?” He teases, which causes you to blush and Mattheo to shove Theodore. “Shut it man, that’s so gross.” “Oh c’mon!” Astoria exclaims, “Y/n never tells us anything about it.” She shakes her head. “Maybe she doesn’t want to.” Mattheo defends you, you just stay silent. You tune them out, you just hate how everyone already wants you to be sleeping together. Why would you? It’s taken you long enough to call him your boyfriend, let alone touch him (approximately three weeks). Sure, you’ve hooked up before, but never as a couple. That act is supposed to be intimate with a person you care about. So why do it so soon? You’re taken away from your thoughts by the feel of Mattheo’s hand gripping yours.
You know how much I hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back. Just like that.
-
It’s now been around two months, officially dating, Dorothea has apologized and became friends with the Slytherin’s, it’s all perfect. Except, you and Mattheo still haven’t kissed nor done anything but cuddle and hold hands. You’re not sure why but the act feels too intimate, too scary for you. You’ve kissed lots of guys before—granted none were your boyfriend—but still. You can’t seriously be falling for him, right?
“Hey love,” Mattheo murmurs, dropping a kiss on the top of your head. “Did Dorothea let you in?” You question with a yawn, he just hums and nods, sitting next to you on your bed. “How’s my girl doing?” He asks, “Stressed and exhausted.” You reply as you trace your quill along the parchment “You’re seriously doing that extra credit essay?” “Yes, Mattheo, I am. I’m totally failing Slughorn’s class and he never lets us do shit like this for extra credit, I’m savoring it.” He chuckles and pulls you closer to him by your waist. “Just take a little break. For me?” You groan but end up giving in, leaning back against his chest. “You’re so lucky I lo—“ you cut yourself off quickly, immediately looking away from him. He stiffens, “You what?” He murmurs, you swallow. “Nothing, nothing important.” You say quickly. Mattheo desperately wants to change the subject so he just nods and looks forward.
Uh oh, I’m falling in love again. Oh no, I’m falling in love again. Oh, I’m falling in love. I thought the plane was going down how’d you turn it right around?
After a few minutes of silence, Mattheo speaks again “What were you going to say?” He asks in a whisper, his thumb tracing gentle circles on your hip bone. “It doesn’t matter.” You murmur, but Mattheo is quite persistent and asks again, you finally give in and mutter “I love you.” Which causes his breath to catch, I love you, those words shouldn’t be a big deal—you aren’t asking him to marry you or anything—but they are. He swallows before murmuring “Really?” To which you reply with a timid “Yes.” A slow smile creeps up on his face. “Well, I love you too.” You grin like an idiot, love, a silly thing to be obsessing over—but alas, you are.
Uh oh, I’m falling in love again. Oh no, I’m falling in love again. Oh, I’m falling in love. I thought the plane was going down how’d you turn it right around?

Bite-Size Drarry - Under 10k (Part Four)
Pausing my RWRB reading (I have an ask about firstprince fics too and I’m working on it!) to answer this, which is the nudge I’ve needed. I’ve done this for Dramione before (under 5k), but I especially love tempting readers to Drarry. 
Short works are the unsung heroes of fandom. They don’t get enough love, which makes me so sad, because you definitely don’t always need 100k to deliver a stunning story. These are your bedtime stories, your palate cleansers, your individual serving sizes of serotonin. It’s okay to enjoy these even if you only read slow burn 100k+ fics, I promise. Live a little! 
This is a sampling of some amazing favorites, but I’m always reading new things and will add to it regularly. If you find something you love, I know the author would love to hear it, and so would I! Take a deep dive into their work to find other gems. 
Here's Parts One, Two, and Three if you missed them.
Bite-Size Drarry - Under 10k (Part Four) below:
Stay by @orange-peony. E, 7k. The day Draco Malfoy finds out that the Manor has finally found a new owner is a Tuesday. It takes him less than two minutes to realise that he’s screwed. He has nowhere to go. Things go from bad to worse when he finds out that he's been assigned a new probation officer. Harry bloody Potter.
Sorry i was never good (like you) by @tigerlilycorinne. T, 7k.  “What is your name?”
Michael Corner puts his cup of tea down. “You already know my name,” he says. He points to them each in turn: “Draco Malfoy. Michael Corner. We went to Hogwarts together.”
“You are the one Harry Potter took to bed last night, correct?”
Draco has a questionnaire he calls the Boyfriend Check for Harry’s boyfriends. Because he’s roommates and friends with Harry, and he needs to make sure they’re up to snuff. 
And also for other reasons.
A Love That Knows of Itself by @sleepstxtic. M, 7k. After an accidental bonding, Harry is forced to confront some longstanding feelings concerning a certain Unspeakable.
Epitaphs in Autographs series by @vukovich. E, 7.1k. (MCD) A series of works surrounding death, imperfect relationships, flawed coping, and humanity.
Knead, then let rise by @softlystarstruck. T, 7.2k. Malfoy stumbles back into Harry’s life via the laundry room. A story about baking bread and tripping over words and falling in love.
Interpersonal Relationships Year 7, Unit 3: How to Have Sex Like a Responsible Adult by InnerLilith. E, 7.3k. Harry came to Hogwarts to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. He did not come to Hogwarts to obsess over Draco Malfoy. He definitely did not come to Hogwarts to channel that obsession into…supervising Draco’s sex education class?
Whatever, Harry saved the world. He could handle sex ed. Right?
Draco Malfoy and the Broken Room by @aprofessionalprotagonist. T, 7.3k. A drunk and morose Draco gets trapped in the Room of Hidden Things with Potter of all people. Now, he’s got to figure out how to make peace with the Golden Boy long enough to get out.
everything you should say by icarusinflight. E, 7.4k. They're not friends. But when Draco offers help, Harry takes it.
The Re-Fenestration of Potter by @cavendishbutterfly, @iota. E, 7.5k. Harry wants the Prophet reporters to stop following him and Draco wants Harry to stop climbing through his window at all hours of the night…even if he’s taken to leaving it open, just in case. Everything is bearable until they both get doused with Draco’s latest batch of Wolfsbane, and then suddenly nothing between the two of them is bearable at all.
of course i cum fast, i’ve got a snitch to catch by swoons. E, 7.5k. Strangest of all, Potter never lasts more than two minutes — and that’s if Draco’s being really, really generous with his time-keeping.
It should be off-putting, but Draco’s just intrigued. Perhaps that’s why he’s watched Potter wank in the showers so often.
The Exhale by spqr. T, 7.5k. Hermione makes a soft, concerned sound. "Harry, look at this." She shows him an article with a photo, but the photo's not moving; it must be a Muggle newspaper. "NASA have just landed a rover on Mars. It's called Curiosity, and look, this is so--I don't know if it's sweet or sad, but--it's all alone out there, and they programmed it to sing itself Happy Birthday." Nothing is wrong, but Harry starts crying.
Lovesick by @corvuscrowned. T, 7.6k. People keep spiking Auror Harry Potter with love potions. Healer Draco Malfoy keeps having to pick up the pieces.
But it's getting harder and harder for Draco to watch Harry fall in love with everyone except for him.
Dating Potters by @goldentruth813, @mzuul. M, 7.7k. Scorpius and Albus have been together for awhile now and decide it’s time to have a family dinner and come out to their fathers. What they’re not counting on is the fact that they’re not the only ones with secrets to share.
Play Dates by bixgirl1. E, 7.7k. Harry never thought seeing Malfoy as a dad would affect him this way.
What I Thought by @bafflinghaze. E, 7.8k. Draco thought they were in a relationship. Harry thought it was just sex. 
First Week of Eternity by InnerLilith. E, 7.8k. Moving in with the colleague you’d like to fuck is a bad idea for anyone. It’s worse when you’re a card-carrying member of the eternal dead. It’s exponentially worse when your already garlic-obsessed colleague-slash-crush-slash-roommate has recently discovered his distant Italian heritage.
In which Draco tries desperately to hide that he’s recently become a vampire, and Harry tries desperately to feed him.
The Trouble with Good Sense by RorouniHime. M, 7.8k. When you fill a hotel with flying quills, hands-on demonstrations, and too many Aurors, someone is bound to get cranky.
The Dinner by @brightowl-fics. E, 7.9k. Draco had been trying to beat the sunset, walking along the cobblestone road to the Chateau where he would be staying that night, when he saw the door. Le Billet Doux, said a painted red sign. Below it, réservations non requises: ‘no reservations required.’
in a rambling way by @fw00shy. T, 7.9k. Ron knocked Hermione up, and now Harry's got to figure out how to clone himself so that his friends don't split up fighting over him. Falling for Draco again was never part of the plan.
Check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous by @lqtraintracks. E, 7.9k. Auror Harry has a crush on Unspeakable Draco, and Draco's dared to give him a lapdance when they're out for Friday night drinks.
Keep Me Here by @academicdisasterfic. E, 7.9k. Teddy/Harry/Draco. The one where Teddy is pining, Harry is in denial, and Draco is impatient.
Driving me crazy (but I'm into it) by @thecouchsofa. E, 8k. Draco’s fucked a lot of people. He’s fucked models, Quidditch players, members of the Wizengamot, even a Muggle actor, but none of them come quite as prettily as Harry Potter.
Leeward by @teacup-tai. M, 8.1k. There’s a polaroid kept in the back of Harry’s nightstand drawer. Just the one. It’s Muggle and slightly yellowish. There are many other photos in a box in the back of Harry’s cupboard under the stairs—the one he almost never opens. A hidden box of hidden memories. After four years since their break up, Harry and Draco meet again at Dean and Blaise’s wedding. Now, between the turquoise sea and the white sand dunes of Fuerteventura, they will need to face their feelings.
in between two tall mountains (there’s a place they call lonesome) by @oknowkiss. E, 8.2k. In the shadow of a mountain on the Oregon coast, there may or may not lie a shipwreck, on which there may or may not be a magical relic, lost hundreds of years ago. Harry's been tasked with finding it, and Draco is there to take notes, and they're stuck in a campervan pretending to be married, and it's all going to be just fine. That's what Draco's gotten rather good at telling himself, anyway.
Born Slippy by @dracoladon. E, 8.3k. Harry finds that it's less 'one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor' and more 'one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, decide Malfoy's quite fit, actually, and decent company after your friends traitorous abandonment, floor.' With Malfoy lying next to you.
(Un)Anticipated by @p1013. E, 8.3k. Though he won't ever admit it—not even years later, when Draco's giving Harry shit about it right before they go to sleep, the bedside light just dim enough to hide the worst of his blush—it takes Harry an embarrassingly long time to realise that something is wrong. It's not like he's trying to pull regularly. If he wants to get laid, he gets laid. He is, after all, Harry Potter.
But it's not until it's a Saturday morning, and he's languidly stroking himself off in the shower with long, slow pulls that he feels deep in the pit of his stomach, that Harry realises that he's been at this for quite some time, and while it feels amazing and his toes are curling and his balls are pulled up tight…
Nothing's happening.
Contretemps by @moonflower-rose. T, 8.4k. Draco Malfoy has been living like a model citizen. If only he could convince Potter.
Say Anything by megyal. M, 8.5k. Draco has a crush on Harry and tells him in French.
Flight Patterns by @mosrael. E, 8.6k. Up in the air, Draco can become anyone he wants to be, or cease to be anyone at all. When he puts on his flight attendant's uniform he's just one more smiling face in the crowd, a forgettable interlude in his passengers' day. Not a petrified boy, not a criminal, not a Wizard just trying to keep it together as best he can.
That is until a certain someone interrupts his flight patterns.
Stories in E Minor by @huldrejenta. E, 8.7k. Draco has found his place in the Muggle world. He's got his music, he's got his neighbours and he is content. Until a certain someone from the past enters his life again.
Look For Me In The Sun by @wolfpants. M, 8.7k. Harry and Draco are on the run in America after a mysterious string of werewolf-like attacks in the Muggle community causes the Ministry to impose new and harsh anti-werewolf legislation. Giant trees, crashing waves, seedy motel rooms, and the long and winding coastal road awaits them, but will they ever be able to go back home?
Bored by vorabiza. E, 8.8k. Harry and company are bored, so Harry is encouraged to tell the others a sexual fantasy that becomes a little more romantic than they are expecting.
Howl by @tackytigerfic. M, 8.9k. After an encounter with a vicious werewolf, Draco Malfoy wakes in a field hospital with a mangled shoulder, a furry little problem, and an inconvenient crush on Harry Potter. Potter, meanwhile, is still trying to save the world, only this time he wants Draco right there with him while he does it. Taking part in a rebellion against a corrupt regime isn't always glamorous, but at least sometimes there are organic farmshop pastries and fancy hotel bedsheets. Just don't ask about that smell of burning.
Along Came Potter by huldrejenta. T, 9k. Potter shows up at Draco’s flat. Then he shows up again, and again, and again.
Fuel to the Fire by @eevans22, @holygnocchi. E, 9.1k. Sure, Luna always means well. But suddenly Harry is temporarily living with the man he’s been pining over since they started Auror training, who compliments Harry’s cooking, gives him thoughtful thank you gifts, and looks indecently attractive stepping out of the shower. Something’s got to give. And Harry suspects it will be him.
Just a trial run by @tenthousandyearsx. E, 9.1k. In which Harry wants to get into sex work and Draco would prefer to keep him for himself.
Before the Cold Sets In by @crazybutgood, @vukovich. T, 9.1k. Sometimes, the person you should be planning your life with is already in it. Or, how Harry realised that true love is at the bottom of a tea cup.
sex in trees for beginners by @phdmama. E, 9.1k. The bottle lands on Malfoy and sends out its customary poof of smoke and sparks. Harry hasn’t quite figured out the pattern, it’s not like blue means truth and red means kissing. Malfoy’s poof is a deep pink-purple and there are definitely sparks happening as well. It’s really pretty, actually, and Harry sort of loses himself in watching the colors until suddenly he realizes everyone is quiet and staring at him.  “What?” he asks, glancing around. “What did I miss?”  Malfoy sighs. “The bottle gave us a dare.”
Phoenix by @kedavranox. E, 9.2k. Harry's got a fantasy.
Starting Again by @tamerofdarkstars. T, 9.2k. Harry felt the situation rapidly slipping from his grasp and suspected he’d never really had hold of it to begin with. “You want me to be friends with Draco Malfoy because you think that will stop him from being... sad.”
“Bingo, give the boy a prize.”
The Things They Never Say by bixgirl1. E, 9.3k. Harry and Draco don't know how to talk. So they do other things instead.
to be a bit of warmth for you by softlystarstruck. M, 9.3k. As some of the only eighth years to return to Hogwarts, Harry doesn't know how he and Draco will manage to be roommates for a whole year without resorting to violence. But Draco is too quiet, and too thin, and wears layers of sweaters that he tucks over his fingers. So they fall into an unspoken routine, one that soothes Harry as much as it helps Draco, one that's so much easier than Harry thought it would be.
Until it all falls apart, and Harry realizes he holds the world in his hands.
Wooing with Woodwork by @henrymercury. T, 9.3k. According to Ron, Harry needs to make a move on Draco in the next month or he's going to receive a howler he won't want Draco to overhear.
That Draco will overhear is fairly inevitable given they're cooped up in the same DMLE office all day, or off investigating together, and they go home to the same flat at night.
All I Have to Do by @fluxweeed. E, 9.5k. The Patented Daydream Charm (Adult Edition) allows you to enter a top-quality, highly realistic thirty-minute sexual fantasy. Solitude and privacy spells advised. or: Draco finally has some alone time; Harry just needs to nip in for a book.
Sinking to Swim by @pheaphilus. T, 9.5k. When Unspeakable Malfoy gets his latest assignment at the Department of Mysteries, he can't help but curse his own luck. What are the chances that he would have to seek out the elusive Harry Potter for help?
When Draco Malfoy comes to his door, asking for his input into an ongoing project at the Ministry, Harry is skeptical. When's the last time a Malfoy did anything to help anyone but themselves, anyway?
Let Me Roll It by @lagerloutfic. E, 9.5k. “I’m not going to kiss you here,” Harry said, applying a fraction of pressure so Draco’s lips parted.  “No?” Draco said, his breath hot on Harry’s knuckle.  “No.” --- The thing about Harry was, he hated most people. And there was no one he hated more than Draco’s boyfriend Justin - certified knob and all round wanker.  So when he finds out Justin is just as selfish inside the bedroom as he is outside it, Harry can’t help himself.
Sex on Legs in Six-Inch Heels by @tessacrowley. E, 9.6k. Draco Malfoy is a brilliant freelance cursebreaker and the only one who can help the Department of Magical Law Enforcement with a very dangerous case, but more importantly, he's wearing six-inch heels, and Harry cannot handle it, he really just can't.
what if, but if, we could kiss (and just cut the rubbish) by @swisstae. E, 9.6k. “Christ, Draco, get your mouth back on me, I need you, oh God, Jesus fucking Christ,” and Draco can’t help how he shivers, the words dripping down his spine like molasses, sticky sweet blasphemous prayers in the heat of the moment. It’s enough to bring him closer to the edge, and when Harry spills down his throat, hot and bitter and musky, Draco comes with a muffled cry, his cock spurting weakly as he spills all over the floor. (Later, Harry will tease him, will whisper Christ, Malfoy, look at you, so hot for me, Jesus and Draco will come undone a second time, shaking in the safe bracket of Harry’s arms around him.) OR: Draco and Harry are not-quite-friends, but then they are. it is A Time. Ron just wishes he had bleach.
The Little Marauders Nursery and Day Care by @digthewriter. E, 9.8k. Harry Potter is the proud owner of a daycare, and his favorite student is Scorpius Malfoy. Scorpius’s dad might be okay, too.
Gryffindors Never Kiss and Tell by @drarrytrash. E, 9.9k. The gang realizes that everyone has kissed Harry except Draco. Draco proceeds to do a terrible job of pretending he doesn’t want to kiss him too. 
That's all for now 💚 Give the authors some love! I also adore hearing if you found a new favorite fic or author.
I’ll be regularly adding to this, so if you’re seeing this as a reblog, feel free to check my Master List of Recommendations for the most current list. If you see yourself and you’re not tagged, or I've got a broken or misdirected link, please let me know!

Drarry AU microfic, feat. Florean Fortescue x August Ollivander ~ Ice-cream
Florean had noticed it very quickly.
“Hey, Auggie. August! That boy over there, sitting with Harry, has he always been there?”
His boyfriend August approached him, grinning while rolling his eyes. His pierced eyebrow was relaxed, which meant that he was in a good mood. That didn’t stop him from being an arse, though.
“Of bloody course he hasn’t always been there, Florie.”
“Oh, you know what I meant!”
“No, he certainly hasn’t, now that you mention.” August came closer and took a look out the little window to the ice-cream bar. He put a hand on Florean’s shoulder and looked excited as he turned around to smile at him. “They’re sitting really close, don’t you think?”
“That boy looks like you, August!” Florian chuckled. “The blond hair, the eyes… although you only have one.”
August did, in fact, have two eyes. But only one eye that was blue. He blinked slowly at the sun, like a cat, and peeked out again. Only his brown eye was visible to Florean from this angle.
“You’re right. He does look a little like me! Only sixteen, and Harry already has good taste in men!”
Florean scoffed, nudging his boyfriend’s shoulder. “We have ice-cream to sell.”
“We have no customers except those two lovebirds anyway!”
Florean rolled his eyes and leaned onto August’s shoulder, closing his eyes.
“If I’m right and that is the Malfoy boy that Harry has been talking about, he surely has a lot more in common with me than just looks”, said August softly.
“Florean! Get over here! Harry just dropped his ice-cream!”
“Did he catch it in time?” Florean rushed over to the window, looking worried.
“Yeah, but that’s not the point, get over here now!”
“I am here!”
“Look, then!”
Harry, the boy Florean had grown to treasure the most after his boyfriend, had just straightened his back and leaned against the bench he was sitting on, holding the cup of ice-cream in his palm. Florean let out a sigh of relief, but he quickly breathed in again as Harry turned to face the blond boy, Draco, and smiled at him. Lo and behold, the other boy smiled back. Just a quick smile, then he turned his face down.
Florean was reached by a distant “Are you… laughing, Malfoy?”, and he saw the blond boy shake his head a few times, still laughing.
It was a drastic change to what Florean had witnessed a few weeks ago, when a grumpy blond boy he’d never seen but heard a lot about sat down in front of Harry at his favourite table, slamming his hand next to Harry’s open schoolbook.
“Am I imagining this, or does that look exactly like when you and I became friends years and years ago?”, Florian teased, and August’s head snapped up.
“I did not blush like that. Ever.”
“Well, my memory must be playing tricks on me then.”
Harry and Draco were blissfully unaware that anyone was watching them. So they kept meeting up at the ice-cream bar, day after day.
“Oh Merlin, this is the best one yet!”
Draco rolled his eyes. “It’s an ice-cream, Potter. Why so excited?”
“This flavour is the best. I don’t even know what I took, I just snatched something from the van. I love the colour!”
Draco watched him in silence as he kept talking.
“… here, do you want to taste it?” Harry held up a spoonful of his ice-cream to Draco’s face. Draco wrinkled his nose.
“That’s your spoon, Harry. I’m not exchanging germs with you.”
“Suit yourself. You’ll have to offer me your own spoon, then.”
“Well then my germs will still be in your ice-cream.”
“Don’t be such a wuss”, Harry said dramatically, snatching Draco’s spoon from his own cup of vanilla ice-cream. “It’s some sort of fruit. I don’t know which one. Go on”, ha said as he took a scoop and held up the spoon again. “Taste it! I swear it’s worth it!”
Draco leaned back a bit. “I’ll take the spoon myself, thanks. You don’t need to feed me.”
Harry grimaced. “You’re so grumpy today. You’re no fun.” Then he tilted his head, and his grin widened. He reached forward, still holding the spoon full of colourful ice-cream in his hand. Draco stared, not sure what to do.
Harry glanced down at the spoon and up again, scooting across the bench to be even closer to Draco than before. Draco still didn’t move, just kept his eyes locked on Harry’s own. When Harry’s hand with the spoon were close enough for Draco to reach out and eat the ice-cream, he suddenly reached out and steered it aside. Harry’s eyes widened.
They were both quiet, so quiet, and Harry was just about to ask what was going on when Draco suddenly snatched the spoon from his grip and put one hand behind his head to hold Harry still as he shoved ice-cream into his face.
“Draco!” Harry spluttered, letting out a shocked laugh. “What was that for?”
“Because you’re a git!” Draco seemed delighted by the sight of Harry’s nose and cheek covered in ice-cream. He laughed until he barely could breathe anymore. Harry laughed too, and scooped up more ice-cream.
“I’m going to make you do it if it’s the last thing I ever do! Got me?”
Draco raised a perfectly arched eyebrow at him, staying still and completely silent again as Harry came even closer and nudged the corner of his lips with the spoon. Then he moved again, lifted two pale, slender fingers and moved the spoon aside. Harry sighed, but the sigh got caught in his throat when Draco whispered:
“Aren’t you going to stop me?”
Harry blinked at him, and swallowed.
“I’d rather just let you. See where it leads to.”
“See where it leads to, huh?” Draco suddenly seemed to lose his composure, his eyes flickering as he took hold of the spoon and put it aside. He held his head low as he reached for a napkin, lifted his head again, only slightly, to dry off the ice-cream from Harry’s face. Harry let him.
When he was done, he dropped the napkin and looked back into Harry’s eyes. They were still very, very close.
“Hey”, Harry mumbled. “I’m nervous too.”
Draco didn’t know what to respond to that. All he could do was cup Harry’s check in his hand, and lean forward.
Harry’s lips grazed his, and Draco stiffened and closed his eyes, his heart almost beating out of his chest. He couldn’t manage to do anything more at the moment. Harry had closed his eyes, Draco felt his eyelashes on his cheek, and he smiled.
And then…
“Shit”, Harry cursed before pulling away. “Draco, they-“
Draco’s head snapped towards the little van that was the ice-cream bar, and he groaned and hid his face in his hands.
“Has he been watching the whole time?”
“I think so”, Harry said, his voice strained. “Oh, and his boyfriend too.”
As if the happy smile on Florean Fortescue’s face wasn’t enough, another head appeared behind him. A blond guy Harry knew very well. Harry groaned and turned to face Draco, letting him hide his face in the crook of his neck.
“Embarrassing”, Draco hissed.
“At least they’re not even close to being homophobes”, Harry chuckled, his face hot.
“But still embarrassing”, Draco choked out.
“Okay, er”, Harry said quickly, standing up. “Let’s just go. Like. Right now.”
“Right.” Draco stood up too, sliding his hand into Harry’s and turning around to grimace at the two men in the van. The two were smiling even wider now, and Florean looked excited as ever.
Harry and Draco started running, but when they were out of sight from the van, Harry couldn’t wait anymore. He tugged at Draco’s waist and pulled him back again, trapping his lips in a kiss, a real one this time. And Draco kissed him back, letting himself relax against the arm Harry had wrapped around his lower back.
They couldn’t contain themselves for long. Harry started laughing first, Draco shortly after. They soon collapsed against each other, and Harry leaned his chin against Draco’s shoulder and whispered: “I’m sorry it turned out like that.”
“It was perfect, you git. Don’t apologise.” Draco paused for a moment, pulling away to look at the other boy. He smiled warmly. “That ice-cream must have tasted pretty nice. I doubt your lips taste of…” He leaned in and whispered in Harry’s ear. “… naturally.”
Harry blinked. “So that’s what it was, then.”
Draco had to kiss him again because of that stupid look on his face.
“I knew it!” Florean placed a kiss on August’s lips. “I knew that there was something between those two!”
“I think we embarrassed them. Did we embarrass them?”
“Only a little. It’s fine!” Florean grinned widely.

It’s not a 1-3 word thing but was curious if we could get some more of the one with Harry/Draco parenting Ted and him having a hard time at school?
Sure!!! I am totally okay with this bc I am in love with Drarry as parents (though canonly i think there is a lot to be desired from Harry. But, anyway.) Kinda gotta away from me, around 2500 words actually. Enjoy? ~ kiz
Teddy picked up shirt and held it up, giving it half a glance, turning to Draco with a wide smile. “Okay, dad, this is the one!”
Draco furrowed his eyebrows, “you just want this one?” He watched Teddy nod, handing it to him, “Teddy you wear clothing more than one day of the week.”
Teddy shrugged, “my other clothing is fine, dad.” He turned around, heading towards checkout.
Draco looked down at the shirt, and sighed, “love, why don’t we… well, I mean I always had a new wardrobe, are you sure?”
Teddy chuckled, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his jacket, “you bought me a new wardrobe just before summer. Remember?”
Draco frowned, following the younger boy. He purchased the shirt, and took the offered bag, “you want absolutely nothing else?”
“Uh, no.” He shook his head, “dad took me for school supplies, a few weeks ago, remember?”
“Yes, I do.” Draco nodded, slowly, falling into step with his adoptive son. “Teddy, would you like to talk about it?”
“No.”
“Hm,” the older man said softly, watching Teddy looking through shop windows as they passed them. “You do know we’re proud of you, right?”
“Yes, dad.”
“I mean, immensely, Ted.”
Teddy turned and looked at Draco, his eyes filled with emotion, “it’s hard sometimes.”
“What is?”
“Just being me. Being your son, his son….” The words felt heavy as they settled around Draco, who remained calm and focused. His only worry was Teddy. “I want to be good enough, you two are so hard to live up to.”
“Teddy, you don’t have to live up to us. Do you feel you have to?”
“It doesn’t matter what I feel, it’s how they all feel.”
“What does that mean, exactly?”
Teddy shrugged, shaking his head. “Nothing, it's fine.”
“Ted,” Draco looked around them, before he wrapped Teddy in a hug, “you are so amazing, every single part of you. What is happening?”
“I’m just… I’m no quidditch star, and my dad — my real dad was a werewolf and they’re ‘bad’, and I’m a stupid Hufflepuff, and I’m weird because my appearances cha-ange.” His words came out muffled against Draco’s chest as he spoke, tears welling in his eyes, “and my.. I’m short, and I'm part of the Black family, and I’m — I’m not brave and all those things like Harry, and I’m not good looking and smart and fearless like you were in school—. I have no idea how I’m passing? I have no— I have no friends and I am so alone all the—.” His voice cut off as he sobbed, clutching hard against Draco, holding on to him tightly.
Draco closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, as he held his son. He’d stand there as long as he needed, hours even. He didn’t care. All he cared about was Teddy. “You sweet boy,” he whispered, holding the 15-year-old in a warm hug, soothing him as he ran a hand through his blue hair. “Let’s get home,” with a quick pop of a noise, both were gone off the sidewalk in the middle of Wizarding London Shopping District, and standing in the den of their house.
Draco could smell dinner cooking and he glanced at Harry, when he saw him peek in from the kitchen, giving a very subtle shake of his head, watching him stand there.
Draco gave Teddy a kiss on the top of his head, brushing his nose against his hair. It always went blue when he lost focus. Draco hadn’t seen it blue in quite some time, which he figured now was due in part to a few things he had just said about himself.
Teddy finally took a step back, face flushed and eyes on the carpet, “sorry,” he whispered.
To which Draco snorted, “do you know how many times I have a good cry? Nearly daily.” Teddy rolled his eyes, “ask you father.” He said seriously, letting his arms drop.
“Don’t tell him, please.” He whispered. Harry arched an eyebrow as he heard that, and he met Draco’s eyes in question.
Draco frowned at the younger boy, “Edward Lupin, I’m going to ask you a question, and when I do, you’re going to answer honestly, do you understand?”
“Okay.” Teddy shuffled his feet, glancing away.
“I’m going to tell you something before I ask. Look at me.” Teddy looked up, taking a shaky breath, “it wasn’t all great for me, Ted. At all. Merlin, those first years? It was magical, and beautiful, and everything I ever wanted and then one day it wasn’t.” Draco took his jacket off as he spoke, turning just slightly to toss it on the settee, “I was 15 going on 16, and I was told I had to become a person I wish I never did.” He met Teddy’s eyes, watching nerves flash across his face, “there’s millions of little stories floating around, hm? Someone always has something to say.” Draco held out his arm, and rolled the sleeve of his dark gray button up slowly. “I wished, time upon time, I didn’t have to go back. I wished I could have left, the whole time I was 16 and then, Teddy, that last year? That was hell.” He turned his left arm over, and Teddy looked down at it. The Dark Mark was so vivid, like a fresh tattoo, on his alabaster skin.
“Choosing to be part of your life was not easy, love, and not because of you; but because of me.” Teddy looked up at him, “Merlin, I wanted to be able to be the best for you and your father, Ted. I don’t want to be the reason you ever feel you aren’t good enough.
“I didn’t have many choices while I was growing up, and I think there is a fine line between dictating someone’s life, and guiding someone’s life. So, in order for me to be the best I can for you, Edward, I’m going to ask you a question, and you’re going to be honest with me. No matter what.”
“Okay,” Teddy swallowed hard, meeting Draco’s look.
“Do you want to go back to Hogwarts tomorrow?”
Teddy stared at Draco, a new set of tears welling in his eyes, “dad didn’t, did he?”
“No, love, he didn’t.”
“An-and,” Teddy wiped at his face, sobbing as he did, “and y-you didn’t aft— after everything?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“Dad I don’t want to be there.” Teddy swallowed hard, nearly buckling as he said those words out loud, “I hate it.” Draco caught him, and held him up, pulling him into another hug, “I’m s-sorry.”
“Teddy, there is no reason to apologize,” Draco promised, letting the teenager nuzzle against him. “We are proud of you, for who you are, baby. You think that only applies to Hogwarts?” He shook his head, “exactly, it applies to everything in your life.”
Teddy leaned against Draco, sniffling, “I don’t want to tell him.”
“I’ll talk with Potter.” Draco said softly, “but you’re going to tell him what you told me, right?” Teddy frowned, deep, before looking up at Draco, “you stand by your choices, understood?”
“Yes,” Teddy nodded slowly.
“Good, now run on, get yourself cleaned up, dinner will be done shortly.”
“Okay, dad,” Teddy stood there a moment longer, holding Draco. “Do you think he’ll be upset?” He asked nervously, “I really don’t want to let him down.”
“Your father wants to support you, just like I do, Edward. Go easy on him.” Draco looked down at blue-haired Teddy, “I’m glad to see you’ve gotten your hair back to normal,” he whispered, brushing the strands back, “go, clean up.”
“Dad, I love you.”
“I love you too, Teddy,” Draco promised seriously, feeling Teddy step back before he turned and headed down the hallway. Draco closed his eyes and took a slow breath, pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Draco, what is going on?” Harry asked, quietly, his eyes nervous when his husband looked at him. “Did something happen? Is this why he’s been so distant this summer? What happened?”
“He’s being bullied, Harry, and apparently it’s over everything. You, me, you - again, Remus, his magic, his lack of quidditch skills, the house he was sorted into… his appearance and how it can change.”
“His hair….” Harry whispered, feeling mortified, “how the hell did I miss this?”
“We missed this, love.” Draco watched Harry take a step towards him, and he grabbed his left arm, lifting it before bending slightly to kiss his wrist. “He doesn’t want to be there.”
“What do we do?”
“Mm,” Draco trailed his finger along Harry’s jaw, “I think this is a choice you have to make, I can’t do this. His parents didn’t entrust him to me.”
“He’s your son, just as much as mine.” Harry gave Draco a look, “we have both adopted him.”
Draco wet his lips, glancing past Harry towards the hallway, “I mean you heard….” Harry nodded, “if I was making the decision on my own, I wouldn’t be taking him back there.”
“Okay.”
“Pot—.” Draco gave Harry a look, a serious one. After 14 years together most of their relationship was pretty easy going, especially with Teddy off to school. They had their moments, they had their time. They always had breakfast and dinner together, they never went to bed without a kiss (and usually a shag, still after all these years), they never spent Sundays with anyone other than each other. Their lives were intermingled and easy, they didn’t have to argue or run things by the other, Draco had his career, Harry had his.
They were in their 30’s, settled and comfortable. With each other, with their little family.
When Draco looked at Harry like that, Harry knew deep inside that whatever was about to be said was something for thought. He had made his choice, he would stand by his choice, and he wasn’t going to change his mind. In the last 14 years he never had, and Harry figured in the next 14 he wouldn’t either.
“Harry, listen. I don’t know what we will do, but I do know I am not on the side that is going to force him to attend school there. He… we’ve done fine without it. Hell you lasted another year more, and I wasn't really all there mentally those last two. And, look at us? We’re fine. We have a life, we’re living, we’re stable, we’re happy.” He frowned, “I know you have a lot of fond memories of Hogwarts, but it’s not that way for everyone.”
“I’m…” Harry pulled Draco close, snaking his arm around his waist, “does he think I’m some kind of monster?”
Draco slipped his arm around his shoulders, and pressed a kiss to his temple, “he is very scared to upset you, and let you down.” Draco to a breath, “I think we understand, far more than he realizes, the need to not be a disappointment.”
Harry gave Draco a hug, holding him a moment. “We’ll figure it out.”
“We will,” Draco smiled, “I love you.”
“I love you,” Harry winked, “we’re going to have a teenager, full time, Draco.”
Draco chuckled, “we’ve managed the summer, haven’t we?”
“Three months is not as long as 12,” Harry smiled, “uhm, I have holiday time I can take.” He added as he stepped back, “let me go finish his dinner and act like I don’t know a thing.”
Draco, following, rolled his eyes, “I told him we would talk, but that he’d tell you his decision.” They both heard the door open, and Draco took a breath, grabbing two wine glasses. “White?”
“Even if I didn’t want white you’d pour me white because that’s what you want.” Draco smiled, using his wand to float the bottle across the room. He plucked it from the air, and stuck his tongue out. “Real mature.” Harry turned towards Teddy when his presence graced the doorway, “hey Ted, ready for dinner?”
“Yeah,” Teddy nodded, slowly, “I’ll set the table.”
“No,” Draco shook his head, already having grabbed the plates, “I will. I want you to tell your father about our shopping trip.” Teddy nodded, swallowing hard and running a hand through his shaggy blue hair.
“Dad said he cries everyday?” Teddy asked, leaning against the counter.
Draco laughed softly as he walked towards the dining table, laying the plates out. Harry chucked, his eyes on Teddy, “he does. Your dad is very emotional, Ted, don’t let his cool exterior fool you.”
Teddy smiled fondly at Harry, “I, uhm, dad I don’t want to go.”
“Go where?”
“To Hogwarts,” Teddy whispered, glancing away from Harry towards the sink. “So, uhm, I just would appreciate it if we could talk about an alternative?”
Harry watched him, “Draco said you were having a tough go of it?” Teddy nodded, crossing his arms tight against his chest. “Here’s what I want to say to that, Ted.”
Draco looked up at Harry, waiting. This was it. This was the moment. In the end, Draco would have to support Harry and his choice. No matter what. While he may have adopted Teddy, just days after their wedding, it was reality that Teddy was entrusted to Harry Potter, not him.
Teddy looked at him, taking a breath, and Harry took a step closer to the boy. “You have to make that decision for yourself, Ted. I can’t. Draco can’t. Your grandmother can’t.” He lifted a shoulder, “you’re young and we all can offer advice, but we can’t really make those choices for someone. At least, Draco and I can’t. We’re not those type of parents, for lack of better words.”
Teddy nodded, “I, uhm, well there are tutors, right? And homeschooling options? And, I don’t know, Mikey — his mum homeschools him.”
“Mikey is a Muggle,” Harry said slowly, speaking of the boy that lived a few houses over, “and that is a different type of schooling, Ted. Are you saying that you want to do Muggle school?”
“No, no.. I—“ Teddy sighed, “I’m just saying I don’t want to go back to Hogwarts.”
“Okay,” Harry nodded, opening his arms slowly. Teddy took a step closer, and tucked himself against Harry’s chest. “Ted,” he whispered, closing his eyes, “I am sorry,” he said to the young boy, “I am sorry you felt unwanted, and unhappy, and I am sorry I didn’t ask.”
“It’s okay, dad.”
“It’s not,” Harry gave him a squeeze, “alright, get yourself seated at the table, and we’ll talk.” Draco smiled, happily, as Teddy held Harry tighter, tucked away in his hold. They didn’t hug often, really, Harry generally gave Teddy his space. He wasn’t great at things like that, he usually left that to Draco. Draco was more patient and better at understanding, he was better at knowing what to say and how to offer support. “I’m happy to see your hair is back to normal, Teddy,” Harry added quietly.
Teddy smiled, “it feels nice to feel like myself again.”

Hi ,its my first time asking you anything since maybe one year ago that i found your reclist that in my opinion is one of the best IF NOT THE BEST drarry reclist to exist. Not only is so well organizased but is amazing how you cover almost avery theme, tag, request....Thanks for the effort that you make ❤️.
Since you an amazing reccer i wanna know if its posibble asking you for some recs, the thing is that i love the kind of stories tha break my heart into pieces while reading more so when our boys have to suffer to finally have peace and enjoy themselves. By any chance do you know stories where Harry and Draco have to give up their relationship and their love for other things or people like draco for his parents or Harry for the Weasleys or the greater good?
If by any chance you read this thank you so much and keep blessing us with your presence here. ❤️
Oh wow what a way to start my week! Thank you for the kind words, I’m so happy that you enjoy the blog and are finally sending your own request. I appreciate you ❤️ I see you’re going for hardcore angst with the self-sacrificing trope! I think you might enjoy these treats:
The Promise by Frayach (M, 4.5k)
Draco made two promises that pulled him in opposite directions. He can only fulfill one.
An Emerald In The Sky by corvuscrowned (M, 6.6k)
The hardest part about shagging an Unspeakable is that they’re not allowed to speak of anything. All Draco knows is that Harry works in Time. Harry works in Time, and while he’s out there in all of that time, it is as unforgiving to him as it is to anyone.
The Eighth Tale by lettered (E, 12k)
Draco Malfoy tries to fix the past, but instead mucks it up some more. For Harry, it all becomes quite clear.
Unfinished Business by cupiscent (E, 20k)
Ten years after the War ends, Harry and Draco still haven't got their act together. But maybe it's not too late.
Us, in Lieu by Tepre (E, 29k)
Teddy needs help and Harry needs funding. Draco sits in the other room and plays the piano.
On One's Knees by pir8fancier (E, 33k)
The war is over and to the victors go the spoils. If you are triggered by infidelity, this is not the fic for you.
We Are Young (I'll Carry You Home Tonight) by Femme (E, 70k)
Harry and Draco have been falling into bed on and off again since the last election five years ago, much to the amusement--and financial gain--of their circle of friends.
Far From The Tree by aideomai (E, 112k)
The arrival of Harry Potter’s children—snapped back in time, the children themselves guessed, twenty or so years—was the most interesting thing to happen at Hogwarts for years.
Close Behind by oflights (M, 134k)
To rescue Draco from the Underworld, Harry has to look forward. Unfortunately, Draco has to look back.
Twist of Fate by Oakstone730 (T, 300k)
Draco asks Harry to help him beat the Imperius curse during 4th year. The lessons turn into more than either expected. A story of redemption and forgiveness.

Do you know? (Who you are?)
A Drarry dialogue only microfic. 870 words // @drarrymicrofic
“I don’t hate you. I couldn’t.”
“You have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Why did you do this?”
“I wanted to ruin you.”
“You ruined yourself.”
“I was ruined long before you. I’m ruined now.”
“You’re a portrait Malfoy. You’re a picture on a wall. ”
“So your glasses clearly work.”
“Why did you do this?”
“Always dim Potter. Always seeing. Never understanding. A pawn. Never a king. Never a poet. Barely a soldier.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You might have had him in your head Potter. But I had him in my bed. Literally.”
“Why did you do this?”
“Why did you do this?”
“Do what?”
“Win.”
“I didn’t. I-I couldn’t. It wasn’t a choice Malfoy.”
“It was.”
"No it wasn't."
"Did it feel good then-"
"I leave. I'll go."
"A pig for slaughter. The priest's favorite sacrificial lamb."
“It was good to feel needed. If I wasn’t wanted then I was going to be needed. And if I wasn’t needed, then I was going to be used.”
“You were used. A pawn, like I said.”
“You’re a painting on the wall Malfoy. What do you know?”
“Everything I did when I was alive Potter.”
“So then you know why you did this?”
“Of course.”
“You’re still a git I see.”
“Hard not to be.”
“Just fucking tell me.”
“All hard work and no pay off makes Harry Potter so sad.”
“Malfoy.”
“Potter.”
“I didn’t save your life for this. It was never sick or twisted or a favour to be repaid.”
“And?”
“AND? What ‘and’ Malfoy? There is no and. The war was won and I still lost.”
“Pity.”
“I see you didn’t change. Or is your portrait persona charmed to be as aggravating as possible?”
“You know Potter, I only ever wanted to be your friend.”
“You made that hard.”
“I did. On purpose I think. I was only ever loved out of obligation.”
“Your parents loved you.”
“Not enough to save me.”
“There had to have been someone else. Anyone.”
“No.”
“No there was no one? Or no you didn’t even consider anyone else?”
"No Potter, there wasn't anyone else. Just me and you and my parents and Him."
"Me?"
“I gave you everything you fool. I wanted you so desperately in life, that you had to have me in death.”
“What?”
“Don’t make me say it again.”
“What.”
“I was infatuated with you Potter. I was git because it was the only way I could get your attention.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
"Tell you? Oh, he's funny now."
"I never thought you wanted to be saved."
"You'd have done me a favour to let me burn."
"I'm so-"
“You rejected me. Over and over. In Madame Malkins. At Hogwarts. You hated me so much and I just couldn’t hate you.”
“Malfoy-“
“I’m not finished. If you hated me, then I had to be worse, I had to deserve it. Don't you see Potter?"
"See what?"
"I'm only whoever they tell me to be."
"We all have a choice."
"Then you cut me open in the bathroom with a spell you didn’t understand and while I bled out, you ran.”
“I never apologised for that.”
“You don’t. And I wouldn’t accept it.”
“I can’t accept the manor.”
“You will. This is penance.”
“You don’t get to tell me that.”
“That day in the bathroom Potter. I almost died. I was thankful that if I did, it was at your hands. Not his.”
“The manor. The vaults. The title. I can’t. I’m not a Malfoy.”
“I deigned to be an ending. The Noble House of Malfoy will be no more. I gave the wards the gift of blood and in return they gave me the sacrifice of choice.”
“What do I do?”
“Win. You win Potter. And this time you mean it.”
“I wish you were here Draco.”
“No you don’t Potter. You wish someone was there to hold your hand.”
“I think I’d quite like to have you hold my hand.”
“No Potter, you wouldn’t. This isn’t a declaration of love. This is just an ending.”
“I didn’t save you for it to end up this way.”
"Did you know, Potter, that muggles have this thing called 'God'? Apparently he can fix anything, but you have to pray hard enough. So every night of the war I'd close my eyes and pray to him. I'd pray to be saved because no one else would save me."
"Are you trying to tell me that God answered your prayers?"
"No Potter. I'm trying to tell you that if you could see past the war, you'd realise that I'm not a bad person. Only one of us here ever successfully cast an unforgivable."
"I had to cast them. I did." "Oh."
"Not so different after all, are we?"
"You still lost the war."
"I lost long before the war."
"Tell me."
"Lambs are only raised to be bred or slaughtered."
"Which of those am I?"
"Harry, some are both."
"Don't call me that."
"By your name?"
"Yeah."
"Let's not imbue power in things that don't need it Harry, we all know how that worked out last time. I am just a painting after all."

No one Tagged Me But… ^ I love to yap
Besides @smehur tagged @s0lifuge which is basically like if they tagged me, just, eventually. with extra steps
Last song: according to Spotify, I’m in the middle of listening to Das Model by kraftwerk but the actual last song I listened to is Tambor Urbano. Does ensuing tinnitus count as a song?
Favourite Colours: lately I’ve been wearing a lot of green and browns. I like all colours really except for the ugly ones. They know who they are.
Last Book: literally, The Pale King. I am always fucking relistening to The Pale King especially on airplanes. it’s my favourite, and embarassing. at least if I were into Infinite Jest people would know I’m insufferable. Instead I’m forced to explain that I’m insufferable. The indignity of it all. I am also reading Naked Lunch, slowly.
Last Fic: When I typed this it was Alpha Watch I: Sin For Me by furiosity (my kingdom for part II, alas) but between then and now I saw a post that made me reread Leather Mommy by deja_lu (my kingdom for chapter 6, alas!!)
Last Movie: I rewatched Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop and am now halfway through Spirited Away in French, repeating words to myself as language practice
Last TV Show: if YouTube counts as TV, TheRealJims Simpsons videos. If YouTube counts but only if it’s also actual television, John Oliver. Otherwise, I’m watching OK KO with a (currently) long distance friend.
Sweet/Spicy/Savoury: this is not enough info but I’ll say savoury? Because it’s the broadest category? Spicy things are usually also savoury things I feel like. But also I’ve been big into fruit so, idk. I think food is abt relationships, one note is no good - hypocrit who also loves plain oat gruel.
Relationship Status: aimless, basically, romantically. considering being less aimless, aimlessly.
Last Thing I Googled: is doxable. But basically internet drama re: a formerly local nonprofit.
Current Obsession: oh, god, unfortunately my health, rumination go brrrrr. Drarry, obv. I love to talk about them. Trying new kombuchas (a bev I used to capital H Hate!)
Looking Forward To: December, I’m scheduled for de-tit-ification :) and tomorrow, seeing my cat again.
It’s supposed to be ‘10 people you want to get to know better’ but. Not tagging anyone in the spirit of If You Read This And Want To Do It Just Go For It, since that’s clearly my current MO :) Q and A is fun!!

001 harry potter/albus Severus Potter
WHAT I was not prepared. I have not met any Halbus shippers on Tumblr. We need to talk, my friend. Okay.
-
001 | send me a ship and I will tell you:
when I started shipping it if I did: I. Don’t know. It was sometime early this year and it may have been this classic but that one's not very Pottercest focused so more likely something I just ran across randomly. It’s funny because. My friend was trying to get me into Orion/Regulus and I tried, man, I did (I even wrote one for her birthday, as you can see I had to pad it with Starcest for my own well-being XD) but ultimately I kept insisting “I just can’t get into parent/child.” LOL, cute. Turns out I just needed the right parent/child to drag me in. Enter Harry/Al.
my thoughts: My thoughts have been fueled by a lot of Chardonnay but listen. I take Cursed Child canon with several grains of salt. I use what I like and discard the rest. The idea of Albus as a Slytherin who resents the fact that he’s expected to not only live up to but exceed his father’s legacy and the fact that the whole world sees his sorting as a handicap is so fucking golden because of course he would grow to resent Harry, it’s middle child syndrome on steroids, you’ve got James Sirius who is basically James Potter OG, popular and athletic and probably a bit of a prick (which tbh makes for some prime Al/James shipping but I digress), and Albus who is... good at potions? (Fanon, yes, but well done because of course he’d excel at the thing Harry hated.) What I love about CC is that it creates a very plausible conflict dynamic between them and what I hate about CC is that it completely cheapens that beautiful dynamic by portraying Harry as a tone-deaf bumbling idiot of a father and no. I’m not buying it. He’s a bit thick but he would make every effort to be the most conscientious parent who truly works to relate to all of his children and make them feel valued for exactly who they are. Again, I digress, but if we accept this dynamic on a broad scale and ignore the minutiae, it creates this lovely scenario of James S. being more Lily’s kid and Albus being more Harry’s kid and everything changing when Al goes to Hogwarts and sorts Slytherin and learns what everyone else thinks of his father and befriends the kid of his dad’s nemesis and thus eventually sheds that daddy’s-boy skin and Harry just being heartbroken about it but not really knowing how to win him back.
What makes me happy about them: I think at their core they are so, so very alike which is why the conflict exists in the first place. I think they share the same sense of humour, the same ideological passions, the same deeply sensitive core, the same need for that desperate hungry all-consuming love that Harry hasn’t had since Sirius and Albus had but never quite trusted because he always felt like an outcast and he was probably always a bit jealous of James and definitely jealous of Teddy (...rightfully so but NEVER MIND). So they are a bit Drarry in the sense that they both need the same things but are coming at it from wildly different angles, so lots of room for conflict and misinterpretation. Yay. :)
What makes me sad about them: I mean, well, if they carry on long-term, they will never be able to flourish, they will never be able to hold hands in public, they will be imprisoned in secrecy the rest of their lives, and Harry will suffer unbearable guilt over that because all he wants is for his children to have the normalcy he never did, regardless of how many times Albus assures him he doesn’t give a fuck about normal. I think they also both have the potential to truly wound each other because of the depth of their love and their volatile personalities. They both have a temper and they both need each other so desperately that one misstep can leave them feeling very unstable. They very much know how to push each other’s buttons which can lead to a very toxic albeit passionate relationship.
things done in fanfic that annoys me: Eh, don’t want to offend any fellow writers.
things I look for in fanfic: Canon compliant/adjacent is always my preference; as with most cross-gen/incest I prefer Al to be the instigator and for Harry to suffer the Burden of Unfathomable Guilt™. I love bratty but intelligent Al who just literally does not give 0.5 shits about social mores and, hey, if his dad is fit af and the only person who truly gets him and makes him feel safe and protected and cherished, why shouldn’t they get it on.
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Scorpius is probably the best choice for Al, but I’m a guilty Dralbus and Drarry/Scorbus OT4 shipper. I also love the idea of Harry/Albus/Teddy, i.e. Harry/Teddy are together but when Albus finds out he gets wildly jealous because he always had a crush on Teddy and Harry is his daddy, tyvm, so all the feelings get muddled and Teddy’s the one to eventually invite him in and mediate to help Al and Harry realize their feelings for each other.
My happily ever after for them: Best case scenario, they have to hide forever. They’re not exactly a happily ever after ship. :/
who is the big spoon/little spoon: Daddy is the big spoon. :))) But but but also I think Harry still occasionally has nightmares or just needs some of that cuddly comfort he never got as a kid, when work gets really stressful etc., and he’d never vocalize it, never admit it, but Al is very attuned to that need for occasional role reversal and knows when to simply hold him and stroke his hair and tell him everything is going to be okay.
what is their favorite non-sexual activity: I think they bond over films and music and maybe dueling. Lots of Muggle things, I think Al is curious about that world because he’s curious in general, which makes Harry feel relevant because that’s what he grew up with, and none of his other kids or friends (besides Hermione) really relates to it.

Tag game
Thank you for the tag @mycupofrum 💕💕 it's always a beautiful day to talk about oneself and also as the curious girlie I am to read about other people!!!
Fave colour: black baby
Last song: according to my spotify history my last played song was on Thursday and it was Stars Are Blind by Paris Hilton. That is the only song I listened to that day. It is a banger
Last film: we went to see First Omen a few weeks ago with my friend, absolutely shooketh from it, it was only us and a couple in the last row and they shushed us at one point. Never in my life have I felt more like a teenager in my LIFE. It was mortifying. I’m so embarrassed. We weren’t that loud though, just scared of the movie??? It was a good movie, enjoyed it, next Tuesday we’re going to see Immaculate, this spring is giving antichrist apparently
Currently reading: I have a few fics I’m in the middle of reading (one of them is A Violet Kind of Spin by @cassiaratheslytherpuff which I’m DYING to get back to!!!! jfc it’s so good!!!!! I feel so bad for taking such a long break from it but not a day goes by that I don’t think about it 🥹) and one book (Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski) but my reading vibes have been off for a good few months now!! I’ve read some shorter fics and listened to some podfics but reading in general feels super hard right now. I can’t wait for my summer vacation, maybe I’ll have some peace of mind and will be able to slam some words down. My tbr list is diabolical.
Currently watching: I’m going to be boring and say that I’m still on my Grey’s Anatomy grind. I’m on season 9 episode 10, 10 seasons to go. I’ve been watching s20 as it’s airing right now but it’s just not… it. This show should be taken off life support already 💔
Currently craving: a cigarette, uv index of 7, the beach and a crispy coke zero 😩
Coffee or tea: coffee, I never drink tea
Three ships: Drarry, first and foremost 🙂‍↕️ drarry has caused my brain to rot for almost two decades now and god knows when it’ll stop. I’ve been on and off the fandom, mostly off, but drarry is just a part of my goddamn DNA at this point it’s ridiculous. Next idk man. I have to say it’s a duel between prongsfoot and jegulus, your honor I love them both. Jegulus is a new acquaintance and like I don’t even know if it makes any sense at all (like where did this ship came from???) but jfc I am sat, I am folded I am silenced. But prongsfoot is the love of my life out of these two, I know for a fact that one of the first fics I ever read at the ripe age of 10 or 11-ish was Sirius/James and ever since that they’ve been in my heart, in my soul and in my mind non-stop. Prongsfoot is such a niche ship and I can’t believe it’s not more popular!!! Like they’re soulmates honestly. Funny enough I haven’t read that much of prongsfoot fics, always up for recs 👀👀 I know that was three ships already but I have to mention Kingsley/Charlie and it’s all because of @squintclover and their recent little microfics that just SLAP so hard I’m bruised black. I’m beyond obsessed.
First ship: I mean it was drarry. The one and only.
Currently working on: getting my goddamn ass off the couch and start to clean and do laundry 🥹 I have a few school deadlines as well but that does not spark joy so whatever
Thank you for coming to my ted talk once again!!! I’m tagging @valoale @cassiaratheslytherpuff @lemonlimelea @soliblomst @kk1smet @lucifergraced no pressure spill the tea if feeling like it!! 😌

hi! i've no idea how i came to your page but i realised i'd read two of your one-shots in ao3 before and had adored them (you'll probably get comments from me in future, btw) and i just wanted to say thank you for your writing and thank you for your prongsfoot<3
i've been very critical of this sort of new, cool and aloof and martyred version of remus lupin for quite a while now (honestly, where did all those traits come from?!) and gosh, you're so eloquent when talking about him!!!
i was wondering what your thoughts were on regulus black? because i think he's getting the same sort of royalty treatment as remus does by making him sort of-- er, perfect? i mean. i've seen so much recently of him basically saving the world single-handedly and i-- ugh. and james is always just there, like a useless idiot? it makes me irrationally angry, and this is coming from someone who enjoys jegulus quite a bit. my problem is that i don't know if this rejection i feel against those two comes from a place of genuine dislike of them or from a place of wishing sirius and james were not done so dirty.
anyway, again, thank you for your writing. it's truly beautiful. hope you have a great day!
omg hello 🥺 i’ve periodically opened tumblr, giggling like a loon, and logging off multiple times just to see this ask,,,,thank u sm , ur way too kind <3 and ur comment on ao3!!! i was just,,,,yeah,,,no words. thank u.
ooooooh i remember being asked something similar a while ago and i took the safe route and basically went ‘remus lupin-ification of regulus’ iirc. that still stands. but but. i’ve also got another answer here! all hail tumblr’s search system today!
i still basically stand by all of it, but adding onto the jegulus + sirius bits of it:
annoys tf outta me when regulus is turned into a victim and like sirius damned him to hell when he left . i have thoughts about the way both of them were treated (which,,,another time,,,this post is already getting too long lol) but i imagine the day sirius left to be a Good One for reg bc he thinks he’ll have his parents undivided attention now. i also think regulus is severely defanged in a lot of characterisations, as if he wasn’t a baby DE, as if he wasn’t a slytherin from the house of black, as if he wasn’t walmart sirius black. like man i’m almost offended on his behalf. i’m sure his shaking his lil fist up at us from wherever he is.
with jegulus…okay, i’ve only read a couple oneshots but that doesn’t mean i haven’t tried. i genuinely went thru so many fics trying to get something, anything to stick and i think the problem is me. fully. completely. without doubt. i just can’t deal with a situation where j&s aren’t each others no.1, or at the very least, equivalent to that. that’s where my issues w wolfstar started, same w this. jegulus also has the added horror of ‘james and reg sneaking behind sirius’ back’ which is just,,,,gosh,,,,i have So Many Thoughts ab that. all personal opinions, but still. they’re strong. it fucks me up just thinking about it. i also think the ship tries wayyyy too hard to fit the ‘best friend’s brother’ trope and ends up sacrificing characterisation for it. which,,,again,,,that’s fine but it’s all the ‘oh this is how it was!’ that gets to me. and then james :/// he gives off such weird energy lol. jegulus gives me drarry vibes, and james is treated almost exactly as harry is in a lot of those. reg also gets the saviour treatment, like draco, and both of their fuckery is toned down until they’re almost normal, like they never did any reprehensible shit. j&r, and d&h are placed on the same moral equivalence and it’s just a bit. hmm. okay. (my issue with this is how it leaks into the writing and suddenly i’m made to sympathise with draco bc harry slashed him w sectumsempra, but we conveniently forget he was gonna use an unforgivable, ykno?) so overall it just feels…pushing reg up and pulling james down to get them on equal footing. very similar to wolfstar lbr.
anyway. that’s a ramble and a half lmao.
also!! ‘a place of genuine dislike of them or from a place of wishing sirius and james were not done so dirty’ in my mind, both of these occupy a similar plane of existence. so very valid. for me, personally, hating remrem started as the latter and i eventually realised it’s also the former lol i was just mad a how sirius is bastardised to justify his ~deification and it eventually moved on to ‘wow i just. do not like him’. damn.

Welcome to the challenge prompt AU
Hello friends, and welcome back to Gay✨ has brainrot for her own fanfic. This post is a welcome to the AU guide where I explain what we’re looking at.
Before I say anything else, a PSA. Fuck JKR. LGBT rights are human rights. How did she write the most queer coded characters and then be like “sorry, only Fumbledore is gay. Love him!” Lol nah.
This au is based loosely off the criteria in this post, where the lovely anonymousqualities called into the Tumblr void for someone to take on their idea. I’ve heard their call, they looked over my outline, and I am posting part one today! Woo! The OG prompt was meant to be plotless, kinda crack fic ish, but I don’t know how to quit when I’m ahead so there will be a good deal of lore-building/lore-fixing from the source material.
Enjoy! ✨
Timeline: Halloween 1981 - Harry’s 8th year
To Death, With Love: gifts within the love affair between Life and Death
Ships:
Jegulus, Wolfstar, NobleFlower, RoseKiller, PandaLily, platonic MoonWater, Drarry (in the future), and more!
Things it will be featuring:
Regulus raising Harry
Harry and Draco becoming friends as young children
Regulus being a spy for James - but not the Order, never the Order. Him building a resistance of former death eaters with Narcissa Malfoy’s help.
Harry being a prodigy - and a scary one at that
Lily and James are alive (surprise! Regulus put them in a coma and adopted their son!)
BAMF Minerva McGonagall and BAMF Narcissa Malfoy
Snape gets an actual reception arc instead of dying a trash lord (hello, Uncle Severus)
And so much more!!!

Regulus saves Lily, James, and Harry. Minerva saves him. Custody changes, Remus goes ape shit on Dumbledore, and the smallest moments of context.

Regulus raising Harry from ages 1-4 (ft Grandma Minerva), meeting Miss Cissy and Draco
So many cute moments in this one.
3-We Who Remain When The Price Was Paid
Harry Potter becomes the Master of Death on his 5th birthday. It's like playing where's Waldo, but instead, it's where are Harry's uncles???
Narcissa starts the resistance of exclusively wives of Death Eaters (blood magic pta moms)
Uncle Moony, Uncle Padfoot, Uncle Barty, Uncle Sev
4-Ragtag Little Family
Regulus just wants to hold a family meeting. But you can't hold a family meeting unless you can get the whole family in the same place.
A prison break, wolfstar reunion, wolfsbane potion trials, blood magic pta moms get a name, another prison break, a unicorn, a rat, and a birthday.
(happy adoption day, Uncle Moony)
5-Moony, Bobcat, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to introduce Harry James Potter-Black
Harry's last year before Hogwarts. Lily and James are awake, we get the family meeting Regulus has been wanting, and everyone tries to figure out how to function again.
6-Mirror Images, Distorted Reflections
Year One at the castle. Harry and his boomslang are headed into Slytherin to make friends and enemies. Regulus and James reach critical mass, and Lily Evans is a messy lesbian.
(this is where we start to get a lot of world/lore building!)
7-Forbidden knowledge & misunderstood monsters
8-Turns (in the tides of war)
Year 2 at Hogwarts. Jegulus are growing & evolving as people, Harry is growing and evolving as a prankster. How many messes can Harry, his friends, and his snakes make?

10-The ones who lived
11-I love (the ghost of) you
12-Roads unseen guide us home

I’ve never understood Wolfstar, Jegulus, or Drarry. Yes, Sirius and Remus were friends but they went that close. If they were would Sirius have believed Remus was a spy? Did this conversation not come up as he was gazing into his eyes or shagging his brains out? Would Remus not have tried to bail or see Sirius in jail? None of it adds up. Jegulus doesn’t make sense either. There’s no interaction between James or Regulus, if James was going to choose a Black it would be Sirius not Regulus. This is the Wolfstar gang wanting to pair James with someone else because they believe Sirius belongs to Remus. Plus, James would never date a death eater. Then there’s Drarry, and I don’t get this pairing at all. They have nothing in common other than being Seekers at quidditch which we don’t even know if that was Draco’s position or if he was placed into that because it was all that was available on the Slytherin team. Harry hates everything about Draco, his morals, his friends, his attitude, and his family, his existence, and his face. Would Harry have really cared if Draco died in the fire? Probably not. He would have felt bad for a few seconds because he’s a cabbage and maybe when Narcissa asked if Draco was alive he would have been thinking fuck I should have tried harder to save the lil bitch (although I can guarantee Harry would have lied to Narcissa about Draco because he needed to get rid of Voldemort). Rorry makes way more sense than Drarry. And don’t even get me started on Drinny. Ginny would have never let that ferret touch her and if she was forced to marry him, you best believe my girl found a way to murder the whole Malfoy family in one night. What all of these pairings have in common is Remus, Regulus, and Draco are completely off character and writer makes them the Casanova of Hogwarts. There’s nothing in the books about Remus being good looking, Regulus is decent looking but not as attractive as Sirius, and there is not even one line of Harry thinking Draco is a good looking guy. The Drarry shippers have made me hate the pairing so much that I can’t even ship Scorbus lol. I hate that kid and want him to die for just being a Malfoy 🤣. I know it’s not fair but you can thank the Drarry shippers for my hatred of Scorbus and pushing their agenda.
I agree with you on all fronts (except for Scorbus because I loooove me some Scorbus and it’s the only thing making me keep Draco alive!)
Wolfstar is like the friends to lovers trope. But I don’t think they were that close either. They thought each other were the spy!! It just doesn’t make sense. I’d love to hear how Wolfstar writers write this. Like do they just forgo canon like they do these characters personalities?? You could maybe sell me on post-Azkaban Wolfstar but they need to be in character and you need to make it make sense, you know?? Even then, I’m suspect. You’d have to do a lot of convincing for me to try it.
James dating a Death Eater?? No, makes zero sense whatsoever. James hated the dark arts. He hated Death Eaters. He would never have dated Regulus. Ever. From what I understood, the characterizations of them are bad in order to make them work.
Now, if you wanted a good friends to lovers couple, I would recommend a nice Prongsfoot or Rarry, like you said. If you want the little cabbage to be born (which I know I do), I love me a well done Jilypad. That throuple just makes sense on so many levels. I’d love to read a long fic with this couple, but I’ve only found short one shots. And, in my mind, Hinny is together in every universe… except the one where Rarry is together. End of story. Sorry, there is one universe where Hinny is not together.
As for Drarry, I view it as like a Dramione. They both make the same amount of sense and you do have to drastically change their canon personalities to make it work. I’m not a big fan of enemies to lovers. But that’s just me.
Now, I do love Scorbus. It’s very Romeo and Juliet with their forbidden love because their families hate each other. There’s not enough good Scorbus out there.
