Mermen and Flower Crowns

For @hdcandyheartsfest 's prompt: Hand Made CW: Mermaid Draco Rated: G Read the sequel here Draco was resting against the wall of his tank, his webbed hands stretched out in front of him, while his face was smushed against the wooden planks that jutted out into the water, giving him a few meters to splash, without completely soaking his carpet. He was tapping his fingers against the wood, humming to himself gently. As soon as he saw Harry, he perked up, his eyes lighting with excitement. "Harry!" Harry couldn't help but smile, Draco was always so happy to see him. "Hello. How are you this morning?" Draco righted himself, his long, shimmering tail flipping back and forth, as he fidgeted. "Good." He dove beneath the surface, racing towards the sandy bottom, only to return a moment later with an ornage, rubber crab. "Fetch?" Harry took the toy from him and tossed it as far as he could, hearing it plop into the distant waves and sink towards the coral below. Draco let out a joyous squeal and leapt out of the water, flipping over backwards, as he chased after it. When Draco returned with the crab, he took it and set it down beside him. Draco began to pout, his lower lip wobbling and sticking out. "Fetch?" "In a minute. I wanted to give you something." Draco perked up, his eyes widening, as his disappointment about the crab was forgotten. "What is it? Show me. Show me." He clapped his hands together, unable to hold himself still. Harry pulled his wand out, summoning the gift he'd made for Draco from the other room. It was a hand-made flower crown, crafted from pink and red rose buds. "Here." "What...?" Draco took it in his hands, poking at the petals with awe. "What is it?" "It's a flower crown. Do you know what day it is?" Draco shook his head, sniffing at the flowers, before he attempted to place them in his mouth. "No, don't... Don't eat it." "Sorry." Draco looked down, his pout returning. "No eat." "It's Valentine's day." He continued, hoping that Draco's frown would disappear again. "Do you know what that is?" His eyebrows furrowed, giving him a puzzled expression. "No." "Well, it's a holiday." He tried to think of the best way to describe what it was. "It's... Well, it's about celebrating the ones you love. You can give gifts, like flowers or chocolate." Draco tapped the flower crown again, before he placed it on his arm like an oversized bracelete. Harry realized Draco probably had no idea what a crown was either. He reached out to take the ring of flowers, wanting to help Draco put it on properly. "No." Draco held his hands away, tucking the flower crown against his chest. "My flowers." "I'm not going to take them. I just..." He supposed it didn't matter if Draco wanted to wear it on his arm. "I wanted to put a spell on it, so the water wouldn't break it apart. Is that okay?" With a skeptical expression on his face, Draco nodded and passed the flower crown back to him. He placed a Strengthening and Resiliancy Charm over the flowers, before he set it on top of Draco's head. "There you go." Draco's nose wrinkled, as he looked upwards trying to see it. After a few seconds of struggling, he removed the crown from his head and placed it back on his arm, looking rather happy with his gift. "Thank you. Nice Valentine's day." Harry smiled. "Yes, nice Valentine's day."

This is written for the song “mermaids” by Florence + The Machine from @drarrymicrofic

Word count: 106

Drarry microfic: abyss

Cw: mention of blood & murder

The sea became a dark abyss as the sun set behind the horizon. They continued walking. Their feet were already wet.

They had done what they came to do. They had gotten what they wanted. Now, it was time to return and never come back.

Hand in hand, they walked into the water, letting it surround them, consume them. They had left a trail of blood and carnage, destruction and murder. But the sea washed it all away as it welcomed them like an old friend.

Green and silver were the only colour in the dark waters. The only colours and the only thing they needed.

Late to mermay once again 😅 but here is my last minute merman Draco and pirate Hermione (featuring Ron and Harry as her right hand men)

[hanaranjada]

Dramione mermaid AU anyone? Lets be honest, the merman here needs to be Draco, he would be such a narcissistic lil creature and marine biologist Hermione is both annoyed and fascinated by it~ NSFW continuation on patreon 🙈

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST WITHOUT CREDIT (o´▽`o)ﾉ

[shanastoryteller]

happy birthday shana!!!! can i request more mermaid draco or yue/zuko/solos maybe? 👀

a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

Narcissa does not think that Harry Potter is an appropriate mate for her son.

He'll make a good husband. Politically, he's a fantastic match, and secures their family as allies to the winning side of this war without ever having to reveal the hand they had in ending it. He's rich and famous and of a respectable enough pedigree. He's even easy on the eyes, looking perfectly matched standing next to her handsome son. As a witch, Narcissa has no complaints.

As a merman's wife and a merman's mother, she's concerned.

Harry Potter isn't known for his ruthlessness, for being bloodthirsty or wild. She worries that he's distracted by her son's beauty and is missing is ferocity, that he's only interested in pursuing the parts of Draco that he finds palatable and enticing and not the parts that turn any respectable wizard's stomach.

She tells this to Draco, not to break his heart, but to warn him. Before it's too late, and he does get his heart broken.

But he just grins at her, lopsided and honest and wide enough that she can see most of his very sharp teeth. "Relax, Mum. Since when has Harry been a respectable wizard?"

She pauses, considering. "Darling-"

"He took me hunting," he cuts her off. "The first time he saw me transform was to attack his godfather's mate. He knows."

Narcissa herself married into a rich, powerful line of monsters, the Malfoys a force to be reckoned with on sea and on land. She does not consider Sirius's choice of a common mutt to be equivalent.

But there are enough similarities between them that she sighs and shakes her head and leaves Draco to his courtship.

Harry has a werewolf for a godfather. Perhaps Draco's most terrifying instincts are not so foreign to him.

[luvsfics]

gotcha!!🫶🏻

my request was for Mattheo, Enzo and Blaise separately, cause those three are my faves, but you can do whoever you want!! :) just your thoughts on what they would be in a supernatural au, so like what creature or similar! and how they would treat reader that's a human👀🫶🏻

SLYTHERIN BOYS SUPERNATURAL AU —

Different supernatural creatures I think fit with the slytherin boys and how I they would treat human!reader.

Disclaimer: photos used are to describe the aesthetic, not attributes about reader!

DRACO MALFOY - angel

Angel!Draco shuts you out whenever he transforms into his angel form, due to the pain he has to endure whenever his wings practically rip out of his back.

You do anything in your power to help him.

The first time you witnessed him transforming, you were shocked. You hated to see the pain your boyfriend had to go through. You ran over to him immediately after his wings fully emerged from his back and you held him in your arms as he cried due to the pain, that was the only time he let you see him like that.

He comes to you as soon as he’s finished with his transformation for comfort(he transforms once a month.)

It’s more of a curse than a blessing, ironically.

He loves nothing more than your touch after those rough nights, you help him with the scars on his back from the wings and bandage him up.

He appreciates you so much, and he’s so happy you didn’t leave him after finding out what he is.

He calls you his angel.

One time, after many days of begging, he let you come along to the astronomy tower to help him with his transformation. You held him and comforted him during the process and he took you out for a flight, it was pretty scary but he held you tight to his chest, process style.

After that, he makes it his routine to take you to the best view nearby, which is also the highest.

MATTHEO RIDDLE - werewolf

Werewolf!Mattheo is so cuddly and clingy, especially before full moons.

You help him get to safe places and prepare him before full moons as well.

After full moons, you help him clean up any wounds or bruises he obtained from the night before.

He definitely loves head scratches as much as you love giving them.

Just like Draco, he comes to you for comfort after his transformations.

He loves those early mornings in your dorm when he’s laid up on his bed and your sat on his lap, bandaging up his cuts and kissing his bruises.

Nap dates!!

He’s definitely the type to surprise you with some wildflowers he found in a field.

He never lets you witness his transform because it’s too much of a risk for your safety

He only wants to meet you safe :(

THEODORE NOTT - merman

Merman!Theo is so playful and he loves to mess with you.

Whenever you guys are swimming at the black lake, he would flick his tail and drench you with water.

He also goes under the water and pulls you under when you least except it to scare you.

At night, you both hang out by the dock while he’s in the water and you’re laying by the edge just chatting away in the moonlight. Your head is laying on your hands just before the edge of the dock while he’s gazing up at you in the water (kisses definitely occur in this position).

He collects shells and cool rocks from the bottom of the lake to gift to you, as well as he makes jewelry with the shells for you.

Swimming dates 24/7!!

You both stay in his dorm whenever it’s raining and cuddle up under the blankets, the coziest thing ever.

BLAISE ZABINI - vampire

Vampire!Blaise is extremely careful around you, since your human, he has the so much self control because he doesn’t want to hurt you.

He’s so polite and sweet with you.

He goes into London at night to feed off of the muggles, since they’re useless in his eyes anyway.

He definitely steals the money off of them and buys you gifts with the stolen cash.

He spoils you so much!!!

He adores placing small kisses on your neck and shoulders.

You’ve definitely asked him to turn you a few times, to which he denies because he doesn’t want you to turn into a monster like him.

“You’re too sweet, my love. I do not want you to feel the way I do.”

Since he doesn’t sleep, he wakes you up in the morning with tea or coffee.

He loves to just stare and admire you from up close or afar, he just loves you so much!

LORENZO BERKSHIRE - ghost

Ghost!enzo is literally the sweetest most precious man to ever exist.

He goes ghost when he’s shy or whenever he’s flustered, it’s adorable.

“You’re so handsome, Enzo.” And poof, he’s gone.

Unlike all the other boys, his transformations are more random, but he can force it as well.

He mostly only uses his powers to sneak out of class to see you or leave earlier to walk you to your next class.

Also, he loves to sneak up on you and scare you. it’s so annoying.

Since he’s a ghost and can literally go through walls, he can sneak in the girl’s dormitory, which means he always gets to wake you up by pressing a thousand kisses all over your face.

He sneaks over to hogsmead late at night and buys you so much candy from honeydukes every week, so you’re always stocked up.

Even though he’s a ghost, his love language is physical touch!!

He gives the best hugs.

2023 Writing Wrap Up

Thanks to @citrusses for the tag, it's always fun to reflect on what I've done! Tagging @all-or-nothing-baby, @makeitp1nk, @phdmama and @apricitydays-lazynights

I actually wrote about half of these stories this year, but this is what I posted this year. I spent a good month digging out and wrapping up some WIPs that had been hanging around. They're at the bottom, since most of them are not HP related.

If you are a Drarry fan and want my best of the year, let me suggest my kinktober oviposition offering:

A Charitable Endeavour (Harry Potter|Drarry)(E) (2,322 words)

If you like rarepairs, I would suggest these two, after paying close attention to tags:

Never Too Much (Harry Potter|Harry/Remus)(E) (3,432 words)

A Gift of Forbidden Fruit (Harry Potter|Hermione/Bill,Hermione/Ron)(E) (6,805 words)

For all 29 stories I posted to ao3 this year, keep going!

Beginning of 2023:

For Everything, a Season (Harry Potter|Drarry) (1,342 words)

A Christmas fic for the Drarry Microfic exchange of 2022 which, just like the one for 2023, started out being something very different, and ended up this - a short snippet of an older, married Drarry, reflecting and enjoying their life.

The Old is New Again (Harry Potter|Drarry) (1,471 words)

I wanted to do my own take on trans!Draco, and this became Calla, and honestly? I love her.

Kinktober was so much fun. I really wanted to challenge myself with these, and I continue to be challenged with more of these stories that'll go out in 2024. It's been so much fun, especially writing kinks I don't share, since I have to really dig into characters and why the kinks appeal to them.

dare to dream it, dare to be it (Harry Potter|Harry/Sirius/Remus) (1,886 words)

I loved writing this boot worship kink story, I loved finding the ways that it's important to both Harry and Sirius, and exploring Harry's hopes and insecurities when it came to Remus.

Never Too Much (Harry Potter|Harry/Remus) (3,432 words)

This watersports story is so wholesome, honestly. It's E rated, but it's an established relationship, and it's very much about trust and vulnerability, and I love that aspect of exploring kinks like this, that can involve judgement.

Unlocked (Harry Potter|Drarry; Harry/Sirius) (1,205 words)

This collar kink story was one of the most fun ideas I had. I wasn't able to flesh it out as much as I wanted to, but I'm definitely hoping to revisit this magical collar idea in the future. There's so much potential!

A Charitable Endeavour (Harry Potter|Drarry) (2,322 words)

Ovipostion! And one of the few Drarry fics I wrote for Kinktober. I actually really love these versions of Draco and Harry - Draco, an insatiable Veela, Harry, who is happy to attempt to satiate... and Luna, who needs some help with some dragon eggs. I actually have a few more fics planned in this verse, but we'll see if I get to them. So much filth to write, so little time.

A Gift of Forbidden Fruit (Harry Potter|Hermione/Bill,Hermione/Ron) (6,805 words)

The one I knew wouldn't hit, but I had to write it anyhow. It has infidelity, it has body worship, it has imperfect people trying to do their best for the people they love. It burrowed into my head and wouldn't let go, and I'm proud to have written it.

I started posting microfics to ao3 this year, including some older ones that I'd only posted on tumblr.

Your Spark to My Tinder (Harry Potter|Drarry) (717 words)

This was actually a ficlet I wrote on tumblr for @phdmama, and later posted to ao3. Short and sweet antagonistic Drarry.

The Nature of Kindness (Harry Potter|Drarry) (50 words)

A painful look at how Draco sees himself.

Where the Sea Takes Us (Harry Potter|Drarry) (651 words)

A fun merman!Draco fic.

Magnolia (Harry Potter|Drarry) (127 words)

A Hanahaki ficlet with an ambiguous ending.

A Lesson in Snogging (Harry Potter|Drarry) (129 words)

Smokin' but T rated Drarry.

Keep on Driving (Harry Potter|Drarry) (150 words)

Draco is newly divorced, Harry offers to give him a ride. Possibilities.

Might Seduce Your Dad Type (Harry Potter|Drarry/Sirius) (250 words)

This is 3 microfics, and I'm actually incredibly proud of it. It starts out Drarry, then ends up with them and Sirius. And it's a pretty solid little story in 250 words.

And the Christmas wrap up for the year!

This Time Next Year (Harry Potter|Drarry) (3,574 words)

An incomplete Christmas fic I'd meant to finish before Christmas but got behind on posting. Spoiler alert, it's actually a prequel to last year's microfic exchange, the first fic in this list.

The Heart of Our Home (Harry Potter|Drarry) (2,592 words)

This year's Drarry microfic exchange fic! Cottagecore with a scant spoonful of angst, and a sprinkle of sentient house fun.

Another challenge, which I set for myself, was to post stories that had sat around in my WIPs for a long time. I generally needed to add something, but in most cases I found that, even if I'd meant it to be a lot more, they stood alone as they were, or with some brief connections between scenes. I learned a lot from this effort.

Another Beginning (Teen Wolf (TV)|Deaton/Sheriff Stilinski) (3,168 words)

This was such a healing story for me to write and to put into the world. These two characters don't really get a lot of attention, especially in a romantic way, but I think they both have a really intense loyalty to the pack that makes them uniquely suited to one another, and I was really glad to be able to get this out so other people could enjoy it.

Our Relentless Dreaming (Dragaera - Steven Brust|Vlad/Morrolan) (4,431 words)

I'd had this one partially finished for quite a while, and I'd planned to tailor it for Yuletide and gift it. That...didn't work out very well, since I ended up being on the Yuletide naughty list, but I was still able to tweak it and gift it, and enjoy having it out there and off my WIPs list. It got a hearteningly beautiful reception, and I appreciated that so much.

Picked Clean (Harry Potter|Draco & Harry) (989 words)

I never entirely knew where I wanted this to go, but I wanted it to be a darker look at Draco, especially, after the war. I wanted to take both Harry and Draco in a new direction, to understand them in a different way, and I really enjoyed exploring this take.

The Taste of You Lingers on my Tongue (Hannibal (TV)|Will/Hannibal) (627 words)

A dark but poignant first kiss vignette.

I Know the Pieces Fit (Teen Wolf (TV)|Sterek) (2,700 words)

I held onto this so long. There was one little section that I couldn't get to 'feel' right, but seeing as how this is one of the most popular things I posted this year...I think it's safe to say, it was the right time to release this post-series fic to the world.

Say Anything (Supernatural (TV 2005|Wincest)) (100 words)

A drabble featuring Jess.

Stalemate (Teen Wolf (TV)|pre-Sterek) (395 words)

I started a S1 rewatch, and started doing episode tags and inserts. This was the first one, from ep 1, where Stiles comes across Derek in the grocery store.

Skewed Normal (Teen Wolf (TV)|pre-Sterek) (378 words)

This was from the rewatch, S2, a little snippet exploring Derek's view of the world, and him protecting Stiles.

I Want to Give You the World, I Want to Give You Yourself (Supernatural (TV 2005)|Jody/Donna) (776 words)

I love Jody and Donna, and I loved exploring their relationship, how Jody would navigate it and what she would get out of it.

Between a Wolf and a Full Moon (Teen Wolf (TV)|Sterek) (2,832 words)

Xenophilic E rated fic with a lot of heart. I am a big fan of writing unhinged but wholesome fic.

Dating (Supernatural (TV 2005)|Destiel) (100 words)

A drabble where Sam accuses Dean of dating Cas.

In Grief, We're the Same (Teen Wolf (TV)|Dargent) (2,057 words)

This sat in my drafts because of a transition issue...I added a sentence and let 'er rip, and I like it a lot. It's a story of grief, of similarities, of people coming together in hard times, in hard ways, in the ways that work. It's about the slow process of working through guilt and grief, and how it's just a little easier with someone who understands.

Show Me What You Got (Supernatural (TV 2005)|Wincest) (871 words)

Some short Wincest filth that I wrapped up a year later with one final scene.

HD Fan Fair 2023 recs

Half Sick of Shadows by @starquestingfordrarry [39k]

Harry and Draco have been sleeping together for months, and it's fine. It's enough for Harry. But when things finally start to feel like the more Harry's been hoping for, a strange tapestry project has him worrying he won't ever get the chance. Or: the one with sheep, dragons, and a whole lot of weaving metaphors.

To have a Home by Aulophobia [126k]

Not quite a decade after the war, Draco Malfoy was happy with his quiet little Muggle life in Oxford. He had a small group of friends from the university he’d attended, and colleagues from the law firm where he worked as a solicitor. He played folk music on his violin around the city. And he volunteered to provide legal services getting mostly idiot teenagers out of trouble with the law. His life was full. He had no contact with the magical world, and all was the way he liked it. And the feeling of emptiness in his chest, the feeling some part of him was missing, was at least better than the alternative. Or at least it was until the last few months when he kept getting called down to the police station to get Harry Potter out of trouble. Indecent exposure and possession was one thing, but the latest charge was for murder. OR Harry and Draco find each other again after the war in Oxford, a completely non-magical city. Together they solve the mystery of the city which hates all wizards but them.

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!
