#panville fic rec

[meriyart]

✨Made a contemporary romance inspired book cover for A Dress with Pockets written by @pacific-rimbaud ✨✨✨

[citrusses]

“We’re all going to keep fighting, Harry. You know that?”

A Dress with Pockets by @pacific-rimbaud (E, 25k, Neville/Pansy)

Pansy Parkinson needed a drink. And a shag. She didn't care in which order. Enter: Neville fucking Longbottom and his rolled up sleeves.

Call Me Friend, But Keep Me Closer by @tackytigerfic (M, 4,164, Neville/Harry, Drarry)

"Neville Longbottom had always loved plants, but he loved Harry Potter more." Neville's got a good thing going with Harry... or so he thinks.

Five Women Neville Longbottom has Loved and Lost by @gyzym (Not Rated, 2,036, Neville/Various)

"I think," Luna says, "that pain can be a beautiful thing, but only on Tuesdays."

Helios by toomuchplor (E, 7,576, Neville/Harry)

Think warm thoughts.

Like a Hero by @aibidil (T, 1,818, Neville/Ginny)

Perpetually stuck on the periphery of Harry's inner circle, Neville has always felt like an onlooker. But when Harry leaves and war comes to Hogwarts, it's up to Neville—and Ginny—to redefine what a hero looks like.

Love to Give by @kittycargo (E, 9,542, Neville/Harry/Draco)

Neville and Harry are in a relationship when Draco moves back from Italy and needs a place to stay. Neville never knew how much love he had to give.

Mistakes by sebastianL (M, 148k, Neville/OMC)

Professor Neville Longbottom is on the verge of becoming Head of Gryffindor. If he has a summer fling before that happens, it won't affect anything that comes after, right? Right? A story about the road not traveled, refusing to bow down to dark forces, and finally learning that no one should ever underestimate Neville Longbottom.

The Boy Who Could Have Lived by yourorbitaround90 (M, 215k, Neville/Ginny)

Seventh year at Hogwarts from Neville's perspective. While Harry, Ron and Hermione are f*ing around in the woods, Neville, Ginny and Luna are starting a full on rebellion.

Trying by aideomai (T, 12k, Neville/Draco)

Neville had hoped when he left Hogwarts that he’d never have to see Draco Malfoy again; he’d barely even seen him in that last, terrible year, when Malfoy had dropped out somewhere around the Easter term. But then Harry, Ron, and Hermione came back from their delayed seventh year and with them, pale and sneering and sharp-tongued as ever, came Malfoy.

Bonus: poor Neville is dead in this one but he's so wonderful in the flashbacks!

When It Returns by @academicdisasterfic (M, 7,501, previous Neville/Harry, Drarry)

‘You’re late, layabout,’ Malfoy drawled, pushing the whiskey over to him. ‘I’ll have you know that I am very busy maintaining a whole house and garden by myself now.’ ‘Oooh, the dead husband card. Before any alcohol. Is that a record?’ Harry's husband is dead, and Malfoy is the only one who gets it. Or, the one where they drink at a straight man pub, renovate a house, and learn how to find joy again.

[paradigmamesposts]

for the best by HawthorneWhisperer

[...] She was utterly serious. Draco stared at her and contemplated being married to her. She was irritating and he might make her promise to never wear that jumper again, but it was better than the alternative.

Draco would do just about anything to avoid being poor.

“You’re serious?”

“Completely.”

“Then congratulations, Granger. You've got yourself a husband.”

[potterblog]

This fic is awesome! 😍

What if Harry's graduating class had a reunion?

Well, wonder no more because I wrote a one-shot about this scenario! Except to keep things more special; there's a cook off involved featuring Ron and his bestie and a couple of other characters as well. Snippets from the fic:

And seeing that innocent smile on Harry’s face—the same smile he used when making jokes about being an orphan purposely to make everyone uncomfortable—Ron knew straightway that this was no accident. It was a challenge.

Hermione hesitated, as traumatic flashbacks of the culinary war flickered across her mind. “I’m not sure that’s a good idea. You have no idea how fiercely Harry and Ron compete over their cooking. I’d rather you avoid getting caught in their crossfire.” Enough of her family and theirs had paid dearly already to the whims of those two men, indulging their contests.

Pansy glanced at Tilly, who was now contentedly nestled against her neck, and then back at Neville. For a moment, they shared a look that spoke of unspoken understanding, and Pansy found herself recounting her recent adventures. 

After everything he'd been through—growing up with the Dursleys, enduring a childhood as an orphan, and surviving all those years of Voldemort hunting him down—he had finally reached a peaceful chapter in his life. He had faced danger, loss, and uncertainty, but all of that had led him to this point.

If this enticed you to read what happened during the reunion, here is the link to the fic: Class of 1998 Reunion: The Cook Off - mymindisverycomplicated - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling [Archive of Our Own] Warning: Reading this might make you a bit hungry

[pacific-rimbaud]

I discovered The Secretary sometime in July 2023, and have already read it 4 times (and I’m not even much of a re-reader). It’s just so…well, it’s hot as hell, but also somehow so poignant in the unspoken ache of desire and feeling that spill out of Percy and Pansy. So, well, thank you for that (and the spanking, which remains one of my personal favourite kinks).

Anyhoo — do you have any recs for other Pansy/Percy fics?

(Thank you also for Panville and Dress With Pockets, which I would have thought would be my favourite, but damn that Percy and his constellation of freckles!)

Thank you so much! The OG Pansy/Percy writer was Olivie Blake, who wrote them as a side pairing in some of her long fics (I think How to Win Friends and Influence People is the big one) and in oneshots. Her Amortentia collection is a treasure trove. The Pansy/Percy fics I love the most are in there: Better (chapter 33), Survival Techniques (chapter 97) and Work Out (chapter 149). I've written the pairing a few times myself, including Mile End, which is a noirish 1930s Muggle AU oneshot and hint of a story line I still think about all the damn time.

[saintsenara]

Ooh, thoughts on pansmione and ronsy?

thank you very much for the ask, anon!

pansy parkinson/ron weasley

i'll be honest, i genuinely doubt that ron could pick pansy out of a line-up, so this is definitely one [along with panville] to which i have to say: representatives of ronsy nation, bring out your ship manifestos and bring out your fic recs. i don't understand it, but i'll try anything once.

hermione granger/pansy parkinson

this one makes infinitely more sense to me - at least in the "pansy definitely has an unrequited crush on hermione" sense - because pansy spends canon being fucking obsessed with hermione. she talks about her looks whenever she can - and, specifically, talks about her looks in a way which makes clear she definitely doesn't think hermione's hot - is extremely interested in the idea that she's in a relationship with harry, is worried that draco might be interested in other women [albeit not hermione specifically] to an extent which one might say is protesting too much, and so on and so forth...

all of which is to say, pansy at school is very much giving "ha ha... no of course i don't like girls... ha ha..."

but she does.

Lani's Birthday Oneshots: 2023 Edition!

So, today is my birthday (SCREAMING!), and as a continuation of last year's tradition, I present a ONESHOT REC LIST to celebrate 🥳! Here are 15 oneshots, all under 10k words, one for each day in June leading up to my birthday. Lots of genres, lots of tropes, ordered by ship (kinda).

🌼 - fluff | 💔 - angst | 🔥 - smut | 👀 - mind the tags

—

1. Potter's Got a Tiny Dick (that I can't stop thinking about swallowing whole) by @vukovich [Draco/Harry, E, 4.1k] 🔥🤣 This is crack. Hilarious and filthy crack with bff Ginny, nasty car sex, and unhinged Draco wanting "Just a little nom of a cock."

2. Boy Wonder by @maesterchill [Draco/Harry/Ron, E, 6.1k] 🔥🎹 Established in love Rarry with Draco returned from abroad! Wonderful Ron characterization, witty snappy dialogue, and dacryphilia!!!

3. A Saving People Problem by @the-francakes [Draco/James, E, 5.9k] 🔥🏍️ Draco living at Grimmauld place, and James can't keep his eyes off of him. Oh heck yeah! Surprisingly sweet for such a hot cross-gen pairing. Also poor Harry lol.

4. Gray Eyes (Tell No Lies) by @danpuff-ao3 [Sirius/Draco, E, 3.7k] 🔥🍏 Draco with a lingerie kink! Sirius with a one-way magic mirror! So hot, so delectable. Throw in a praise kink too, and I'm drooling.

5. A Sight to Behold by @lumoslyra [Sirius/Luna, T, 2.5k] 🌼🥐 Luna and Sirius dancing around each other. Hermione watching it all and Harry is just confused. Super cute and sweet.

6. in rivulets, in waves by @dulosis [Bellatrix/Luna, M, 2.0k] 💔👀 Dark and deceptive. I couldn't put this fic down. What happens if Bellatrix survives the war? What if Luna takes her in?

7. Catch Me As I Fall by @this-world-of-beautiful-monsters [Bellatrix/Lily, T, 5.8k] 🌼💔 This fic is a wonderful AU of Lily befriending Bellatrix at Hogwarts. How she slowly changes, how she still is roped into the war. Just spectacular!

8. (give me) the first taste by @iamsiriuslyriddikulus [Narcissa/Lily, M, 4.4k] 💔🌿 Narcissa and Lily as hot moms smoking weed!!! Yes!! This Muggle AU is so well thought-out. The characters are so memorable. (Also I'm a sucker for flangst).

9. Love in a Hopeless Place by @dragonsandotters-dh [Remus/Narcissa, T, 4.6k] 💔🐺 So much hurt but also so much comfort. Draco gets bitten by Greyback. A heart-wrenching and hopeful look into the aftermath.

10. Male Bonding by musigneus [Remus/Severus, E, 9.8k] 🔥👀 This is angsty fuck-or-die to the max. Trapped in a cellar before the full moon. But it's SO GOOD and a somewhat hopeful ending.

11. Open a Vault For Me by Sevanna_OHera [Charity/Severus, M, 3.4k] 💔🧪 I found this pairing recently, and the angst level is off the charts. So much hope and longing in this fic and also a canon-compliant ending.

12. Table for One by @littlesixxwrites [Dean/Blaise, T, 3.2k] 🌼🎄 I LOVE THIS SHIP. Bean is the cutest. This fic has instantly smitten Blaise and equally enamored Dean. Lovely fluffy fic that made me squeal with happiness.

13. Maybe This Time (alternatively: once more, with feeling!) by @wanderingdonut [Regulus, G, 4.6k] 🤣👻 THIS FIC!! I died laughing from this fic, then I came back to life cackling and died all over again. Ghost Regulus is perfect. Snarky and entitled and wallowing in death lol.

14. toxicology by @batmansymbol [Hermione, G, 2.9k] 💔💌 A fascinating dive into the possible implication of Harry being a horcrux for so many years. I love how we view everything through Hermione's unreliable narration.

15. just a few sweaters by Prettything_uglylie [Molly, G, 2.4k] 🌼🧶 This story is a cup of hot cocoa in front of the fire. Warm and sweet and content. I adore it with my whole heart.

BONUS FIC (>10k): Tiny Dancer by @rainchance [Neville/Pansy, M, 12.4k] 🌼🩰 A super sweet Panville fic with ballet dancer Pansy and film student Neville. Wonderful background characters and mutual pining.

HP Rec Fest: Day 28

Today's prompt from @hprecfest: An under-rated fic

Fic: Devil's Snare All the Way Down

Author: @malpal132

Pairing: Neville Longbottom/Pansy Parkinson

Rating: E

Why I rec this: I need more people to read this fic, because it is an absolutely perfect character study of Pansy. There's gorgeous depth to her here, and all her formative relationships make this fic such a moving read. Come for the panville, stay for pansy's gift for herbology, platonic soulmates pansy/draco, and pomona sprout.

[sitp-recs]

Hey liv, I hope you're doing well and if you're not, may you be well. Last year I saw you sharing Pansy and Neville's ship and I was like, "I don't even care." BUT today I find the concept of the Slytherin-level bitchy woman Pansy and the sweet calm plant caretaker Neville interesting. For that reason, could you recommend their fics or any lists you've made, please? Thank you and I wish you a good weekend, take care.

Hi Triz! hehe I love how you gave the perfect description of this meme and honestly, isn’t that all of us with rare pairs 🌝

Tbh although I like Panville conceptually, I’ve realized that I’m not particularly interested in reading fics about them (maybe as a side or background ship?). I rarely read straight ships (my few exceptions are on the problematique side 🌝) so maybe that’s why! I’ve only read A Dress With Pockets by PacificRimbaud (which is great fun, highly recommend!), so I hope my followers can share more recs :)

[meriyart]

“I think,” he said, weighing his words carefully, “that you’re actually killing me right now.” (Ch. 2 of A Dress with Pockets by PacificRimbaud)

[assassinsdragons]

Is it ok if I link two??

Cause… I didn’t post a whole lot of works last year, but the ones I did post..? I felt proud of them, since I worked hard to get every single word out for them.

And two of those. Well. I can’t pick one. Especially not since they’re different ships too.

Okay, so here goes.

1. Once Upon a Walk in the Woods, (15,670 words, Drarry). Written for LCD 2022.

Rating: Teen and Up

Tags/Warnings: Sleeping Curse, Blood, Imprisonment, Sleeping Beauty AU, Lights Camera Drarry 2022, Various POVs, Not Canon Compliant, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Arranged Marriage, Fairytale AU, Devious Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy Being an Asshole, Good Parent Narcissa Black Malfoy, Regulus Black Lives, Sirius Black Lives, Happy Ending, Other Ships Not Mentioned in the Tags: Wolfstar

Summary:

It was prophesied that before the sun set on Draco’s eighteenth birthday, he’d fall victim to a curse which would send him into a deep sleep from which he’d never wake. At least, that’s what his father had told him for as long as he could remember. And it was the reason his parents kept him locked inside of his rooms.

Excerpt:

His favourite time to be outside, though, was in the evenings at the end of August. With the sun warming during the day, the temperature was always perfect all through the night, and leftover aroma of summer hung in the air, but Draco could still smell the hints of the dawning autumn. It felt like change, and every year, he wished that his confinement would pass with the summer.

It never did, and having his hopes crushed hurt increasingly much each time.

2. The Art of Revealing Secrets, (25,555 words, Panville). Written for HP Soulmates Fest 2022.

Rating: Teen and Up

Tags/warnings: Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Romantic Soulmates, Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Draco Malfoy & Pansy Parkinson Friendship, POV Pansy Parkinson, POV Third Person, BAMF Neville Longbottom, Head Auror Neville Longbottom, Pining, Falling In Love, Prejudicial Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Undercover, Undercover Mission, Pureblood Cult, Case Fic, Fake Dating, Duelling, Spells & Enchantments, Interior Design Planner Pansy, Background Relationships: Harry x Draco, Kidnapping, Dark Magic, Ron Weasley is a Good Friend, Loss of Magic

Summary:

Pansy has known since their days at Hogwarts that she and Neville were fated. She never told him, never told a soul. Now, years later, faced with an unbearable choice, she finds herself reaching out to her unwitting soulmate out of pure desperation. She can only hope that he's the sentimental man she always envisioned him to be and not the cynical auror he seems to have become...

Or, the story of how Pansy learns there is no evading fate.

Excerpt:

When she gets to the point of Draco’s disappearance, Neville puts the quill down. He listens to what she tells him, whilst he stares intently at her.

“Why didn’t you start by telling me these last parts?” he asks, a few beats after she has gone quiet.

“Because I wanted you to know who Draco is today, instead of expecting him to be the same – or worse – as he was when you last knew him.”

“I never knew him. Not really. And I was hoping that you’d think more highly of me. That you wouldn’t think I’d fall for something as commonplace prejudice.”

“I was hoping you weren’t an arsehole,” Pansy retorts, “but I can’t expect you to be without faults, can I?”

Neville looks intently at her, and she returns his stare cooly. She doesn’t break his gaze.

Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but… it’s wanna share these anyway :)

Cheers, and good night 😘

hey pals will you do me this honor?

Things We're All Too Young to Know by eevans

Hermione Granger had been asked—and agreed—to do many absurd things since learning she was a witch, usually involving Harry Potter. This long list included, in no particular order, smuggling baby dragons, being placed unconscious at the bottom of a lake surrounded by merpeople, and traveling back in time to fly an escaped convict to safety on the back of a mythical creature. But returning to a Death Eater-controlled Hogwarts pretending to be Daphne Greengrass may have been the most ridiculous yet.

2023 FFRC - April 🌷

It's finally hammock weather in Western Canada, folks! And we've been enjoying watching the hockey playoffs from the patio entertainment area we set up once the snow melted - well, I don't know if the word "enjoying" should be used when the team we hate most in the world is moving on to the 2nd round - but it's been exciting anyway.

We've also been sick at our house for most of the month but we're finally starting to come out of it. My Bethy still sounds like Miley Cyrus when she talks - but other than some low-key coughs, she's no longer down with a fever, so we're happy about that.

Continuing along - it's rugby season - so that means a lot of driving to away games to cheer on the Spartans (which means a LOT of reading). I've read more this month than I have ever read. I was also really focused on finishing up the 'extreme' tasks at the @fanfic-reading-challenge - and I finished a few days ago. I'll keep going until I've completed all the tasks in the challenge but I can do that over the course of the rest of the year. 🎉

Below the cut are my stats and some fun fic recs for you. Enjoy!

April 2023

So as you can see, this month I read 2.3 million words, cracking over 7 mill total - and read 922 chapters (of various lengths), and 107 full (and sometimes long) stories. I was working on some fandom challenges and let me tell you - it was harder than it looked!

As for my recs for you! Try these - you might enjoy them. 🖤🖤

Wonderwall by junkpuppet225 (Carmy/OC - M 11/11)

Summary: Carmy meets Mia at a Al-Anon meeting. She’s going through a similar situation and they become friends. Can he get out of his own head long enough to embrace the feelings he’s starting to have for her or will living in his brothers shadow cause him to miss out on a chance at love? Carmy/OC

Why you should read: THE BEAR FANFICTION! I'm not a Carmy/Sydney fangirl and that is what this fandom is saturated with, so I was HAPPY to find that someone wrote a story where Carmy meets a girl at an meeting and they just GET each other. And neither one is a perfect human - she doesn't SAVE him from himself or anything. They just bear each other's burdens and are THERE for eachother. This is just gorgeous.

--*--

Hello, Sunshine by Wonderlandleighleigh (Lenny/Midge - M 20/20)

Summary: It's June of 1962, and to celebrate being a year clean, Lenny rents a little house in Malibu, inviting Midge to join him.

Why you should read: I got back on my nonsense with the season premiere of TMMM and since I got 3 minutes of Lenny and now have to wait like 8 episodes to see him again, I thought I'd reread old favourites. This one is set post S4 sometime in the future - when Lenny has been in rehab and wants to make things right with Midge. It's SO good and captures their characters perfectly and makes me want to sit on the beach with good friends (and a handsome Jewish comic).

--*--

Love in the Time of Quarantine by @melanoradrood (Neville/Pansy - E 5/5)

Summary: a case study on what happens when a bratty sub spends eighteen months in quarantine and gets so desperate she will have sex with the shy boy from boarding school that promises her orgasms. aka muggle panville tinder au during the great panini

Why you should read: FIRSTLY - Neville is one of my most favourite characters in all of Potterdom and I wanted him to be happy almost from the very first moment we met him. Secondly - it's funny. Hot and funny and sweet. I mean, Neville wants to save her dying(dead) plants that happened to be in the back of her tinder pictures. He's a delight. And this fic is also a delight. You should read it!

--*--

The Raven - For the Rare and Radiant Maiden Series by @drollicpixiefanfic (Wenvier - E 3 fics)

Summary: Xavier Thorpe didn’t exactly expect Wednesday to use the cell phone he purchased for her. It was a ridiculous idea, a whim, a fancy. But something had compelled him to try. So, it was with some shock, two weeks into their break from Nevermore, that Xavier’s phone buzzed on his nightstand.

Why you should read: I'm certain I rec'd this before - but now there is a third story that came out this month (and IT IS AMAZING) - so I could just rec that third story, or I could link you to the whole thing and make you reread it (just like I did). Post season 1 - kinky hot but super tender as well. Funny. Just lovely. and I'm never going to complain about a Xavier PoV. He's my fave. Read this one - if you're not into Wenvier yet, make this your first foray. Come ship with me!

--*--

ANYWAY - I'm always looking for new fic recommendations, so if you have any stories you think I'll love (whether you wrote them or your friend wrote them or you came upon them accidentally), please drop me a line or send me a dm. I've found SO many awesome fics through recommendations from others. I'll read almost any pairing and any fandom. Shoot me a link!🖤

(lastly- I'm a little bit in love with this gif of Xavier waving - and I've been purposely flooding my dashboard with Percy for reasons - so the wave might become a theme for my year - have you seen my new tumblr layout? I'm kinda in love with it. SO pretty).

Anyway -👋🏼 Hiya -I'm happy you're here! I hope you have a wonderful May and I'll see you back here in a few weeks! Happy reading! 🖤

Author Spotlight: DianaSkye

We're recognizing authors who completed and published works during our March Write-a-Thon! @diana-skye is an incredibly versatile author who has penned several rare-pair fics and the long-form (and highly-recommended) Dramione fic Hide Your Fire. Most recently, however, she just finished a new chapter for this slow-burn 7th year Panville she is working on, and it is fascinating. We definitely recommend checking out her whole catalogue!
