Helluva Way to Find You, Wasn't It? by TheLadyGia (@theladygia) Pairing: Harry/Sirius Rating: M Word Count: 10k When the only way to find your soulmate is via orgasm, you sometimes gotta ask the tough questions. Like possibly asking your godfather to fuck you because your soulmate senses actually seem to match him pretty perfectly. Harry Potter has never caught one (1) single break.

[thistlecatfics]

suck out the poison (enjoy the taste) by disposabledarling (12k, genderbent Sirius/Harry, E)

Sirius isn’t sure when Harry grew up. It’d happened all at once. One day she’d been dressed in oversized jumpers and jeans that swallowed her whole, arms folded over her chest as if she could shrink into herself and disappear. She’d been awkward and gangly as far back as Sirius could remember, chopping her hair into unmanageable disasters whenever Lily would look away. And then suddenly she wasn’t. ——— OR: There are some lines you don’t cross. For half her life, Sirius has watched Harry grow into the person she is. They might as well be related by blood. She knows it’d be wrong, but impulse control has never been Sirius’s forte.

This fucking fic! Sirius behaves SO badly. So badly! It's so hot. It's so human. It's so compelling. I'm obsessed with this world. I couldn't stop thinking about this fic for weeks. 12k and everyone is so deeply, beautifully characterized, and there's this wonderful background hum of so many different characters and relationships. (Past Remus/Sirius haunting them! Sirius's past coke addiction haunting them! Ginny!)

Plus bonus drabble:

carved by disposabledarling (400 words, Bellatrix/Rita, E)

With a knife against Rita’s thigh, she’d carve ancient runes that silenced her. Rita would thrash and moan, though no sound would escape. And Bellatrix would marvel, starting with a nick on her cheek, then a gash in her arm.

400 words that starts out with 'oh that's hot and delightfully fucked up' and then you get to the end and it's like 'oh that's REALLY fucked up and REALLY hot.'

For @hprecfest

picking a favorite author was hard!

Need some fic recs for angst w a happy ending

-no cheating between main pairing

-no major character death

Something like "unrequited" feelings, groveling, that type of thing. Could be the flower sickness but doesn't have to be. Some type of build up of angst where it feels like nothing will work out for the main character before it does

Need pain with a satisfying happy conclusion

[fangirljas]

My favourite Sirry time travel fics!!

[fangirljas]

Awesome fanfic i want to awesomely fangirl about!

and I Looked Back on a Broken World

“This is the most stupid thing you’ve ever done!” Hermione yells after Harry. Then she blinks. They’re no longer at Grimmauld Place, and sitting huddled together on a familiar four-poster bed with red drapings are four teenaged boys, staring avidly at them. Well, this is just brilliant, she thinks. “And you didn’t even get the year right!”

—

Or: the one in which Harry is done with the war and thinks it’s time he got something he wanted for a change. He misses his godfather, goddammit.

[sitp-recs]

top 5 rare pairs? :)

Hi lovely, thank you so much! As you know I love babbling about these, kind feel bad that I didn’t include any femslash but I wanted to keep this short and include some sneaky recs as always :D hope that’s ok, would love to see your picks too!

1. HARRY/TEDDY MY BELOVED, sometimes I feel like I love them as much as Drarry as my adoration for Teddy Lupin (and Harry’s too, I’m sure) goes beyond this life, and the next. as always a big shoutout to @lqtraintracks for single-handedly seducing me into this ship back in 2012, thank you for your service 🫡

2. Harry/Ron, things like this fic by @writcraft and this post suggest that friends to lovers might be in fact the ultimate trope. it took me so long to get into the idea of them as a romantic ship, and even longer to start reading it because I’m picky af, but after I did they started living rent free in my head and there’s no way back. rip liv 🤡

3. Harry/Ron/Draco because I really wanted to include a triad, also a bit picky about them but @tackytigerfic’s foundational Aim For My Heart punched me in the solar plexus with feelings (ugh!!!), and I can’t really resist the pull now that @dronarryfest exists. I’ll take this chance to also mention my love for Dron which has superb fics like this and this, a really fun and refreshing ship with its own brand of humor and angst.

4. Harry/Sirius, look I’m a simple woman with simple fandom needs and age gap covers most of them lol I don’t read it very often but I ache for the angst potential of those hotdirtywrong vibes & delicious want x guilt moral dilemma that our Sirry champion @lqtraintracks explores so well. orrr we can go the hot & sweet route and still get ruined by tender wall sex, how dare you @maesterchill

5. Draco/Albus Severus is on this list solely bc of birdsofshore’s invaluable contribution including my all-time favorite pwp, and also my pal @sweet-s0rr0w who gifted me this breathtaking T-rated gem, how lucky am I!!!

Bonus: special mention to Sirius/Draco which I hadn’t considered before being slapped in the face by this gem by @ruinsplume and this gem by one @citrusses you might have heard of her 😌

ask me my top 5/10 anything!

[jmagnabo92]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love! ❤️

Aw thank you!

In Honor of the fact that I starting to writing and posting HP fics to AO3 roughly 4 years ago (it was this month), I am going to pick my five favorite Sirry fics.

Return From The Veil - When Sirius falls through the veil, he's met with James, Lily and Regulus, who give him a mission to protect Harry throughout the rest of the war (and their lives). or. In a world where Sirius doesn't actually die but returns out of the veil looking like he's sixteen, he relishes the chance to support Harry through the toughest times of their lives and struggles with falling in love with his godson along the way as they fight the school and the second wizarding war.

2. Companionship - Between Fourth and Fifth year, Sirius visits Harry one night to help him run away. Nine years later, Harry's living in the Muggle World and working as an escort under an assumed name. He's about to meet his all-time favorite client, unware that he's the godfather Harry lost touch with all those years ago.

3. Path to Recovery - Ten years since he's died, ten years, but he'd always knew he'd return. Eight years after the war, Harry's living life in the muggle world with his son-godson, and there's only one thing he's missing - the man he's been dreaming about, the man who's been dead for ten years, and the man who's about to return to him.

4. Take Care of Me - Sirius loves to take care of Harry, buying him anything he wants and waiting patiently for Harry to realize he's basically Sirius' sugar baby and want all that it entails.

5. Take a Hint - It takes a surprising amount of time for Harry to get a clue on the fact that he's bent, but after he does, he decides to go after the man of his fancies: Sirius - only Sirius doesn't appear to take the hint.

Thank you!

🛳️ !! :)

Hello! Oh this is a good one!

🛳️ A fic that brought you aboard a new ship @eyra's Remus/James series made me believe this is the ship I should have been rooting for all along, The Bolthole and @tackytigerfic and @sweet-s0rr0w's Dreaming Skies convinced me Dron is real, and any time I've read any Sirry from @lqtraintracks and @maesterchill I literally melt into a puddle.

Fic rec asks!

[impishtubist]

I'M SO EXCITED TO READ THIS. Arlie spoils me every day 🥺

"What Adults Do"

Hey, so, I came up with some Sirry prompts awhile back for @impishtubist, and I wrote it today while taking a mental health day, haha. This one was injured Sirius/caretaker Harry. So uhhhh. You know.

Sirius is a bit more of a little shit than I am used to writing canon Sirius. But he's embarrassed...so..

--

“Well, Auror Potter?” said Sirius softly. “Are you up to it?”

Harry eyed the wound. Dread pooled in his stomach to think of threading a needle and pressing its tip through flesh. Yes, he was up to it. He would damn well do it if it meant Sirius would finally see that Harry could handle his so-called weakness—he would do it if it meant Sirius would stop hiding away like a wounded dog whenever he was upset or depressed. 

“Yeah,” said Harry stiffly. “I’ll get my kit.”

“Oh, you’ve got a kit, do you?” said Sirius. “What a good little Auror.”

[thistlecatfics]

Whispers of Affection by Babygirl_Francesca (144k, E, Harry/Sirius/Remus)

Harry's fine with all the men and women that Sirius brings home. It doesn't bother him when he can hear Sirius fucking someone else through the thin walls at Grimmauld Place. And of course, he doesn't care about Sirius and Remus' past. He's not in love with them... Or maybe he is.

This fucking fic!! I've fallen down the fic trap of longform porn and I'm not sure when I'll emerge. Sirius behaves atrociously - just outrageously atrociously - as a Dom and is so incredibly compelling. I fell for him right alongside Harry. If you enjoy some degree of dirtywrong or bad BDSM but with a happy ending (but no actual formal negotiation ever), this fic is for you.

Turns out one of my favorite tropes is for a character to get aftercare from their Dom's ex because their Dom is too in their own feelings to provide it?? learn something new about yourself every day.

It's been so long since I've read a fic across multiple days and spent all day thinking about it, excited to start reading it again at night, and this delicious fic absolutely delivered.

[solitaire-sol]

we'll call it a rundown

I'm Sol, and I've been in various fandoms for most of my life, though it's been a while since I was active.

My current fandom is Prongsfoot. Just Prongsfoot. And Moonchaser. Not that it has a fandom. If you see Prongsfoot in anything I do, it's *~*ROMANTIC*~* unless otherwise stated.

I've never been part of fandom Twitter/TikTok, so I missed the zeitgeist. I'm not into Wolfstar, Jegulus, Blackcest or whatever you call Snape/Sirius. I'll happily take recs if they don't include the above and aren't ATYD/ATYD-adjacent. Golden Trio-era, I'm not into Drarry, Sirry, Snarry or Tomarry, though it's been a while since I've read anything from that period.

I have many headcanons, but I tend to hew close to canon unless going full AU. Even then I try to stay close to canon personalities, as I see them.

I stan James Potter, sorry not sorry.

I'm posting fic again, here's my Ao3. I don't have a beta or a Britpicker and while I'd love to have one, I must struggle on without. I'll try not to use too many "howdys" or mention McDonald's every other sentence, as we Americans are wont to do, but consider this a warning if you're sensitive to things being spelled with a 'z' instead of an 's.'

I'm also .solitaire.sol. on Discord, though I rarely use it.

I'm socially awkward and anxiety-ridden, which is a perfect combination as you might guess, so if nothing else, I apologize in advance if I end up being socially awkward at you.

[padfootastic]

So, I like to read Sirius and James fics mainly. Mostly Sirius-centric because I love him with my whole heart. And just no constantly joking, vain Sirius.

I like my Sirius with dry, cutting humor, a little this side of cruel, ruthless when crossed but can also be oh so loving and loyal to the people he loves, yeah? And also, I love a powerful Sirius. Like super badass, cunning but also horrible to people he doesn't care about.

I honestly don't care about any pairing with Sirius. I have read so many that I don't even care anymore (just it should have a good Sirius). Like I've read him with Voldemort on one end to James on the other. And everything in between. So that's all fine. Just obviously no wolfstar because that's number one for bad characterization.

I just need a good Sirius you know? That's all I want. I'd love if you've some recs but honestly your blog is my salvation right now.

And this got too long. Sorry for that!

(friend, no!! i am the one who’s sorry for getting to this so late 😓😓 pls never apologise for rambling, it’s my fav thing ever)

also, god, i agree w ur preferences so much. i’ve grown to love exactly that ever since i’ve started leaning into the arrogant james & sirius angle bc it’s like—why shouldn’t they be, ykno? they were smart and hot and rich and they knew it. good for them. (bully for others tho lmao)

re: pairings. man, i just can’t see him with anyone but james. (or a well written sirry ;) bc i hc him as pretty aro, and i can’t rly picture him being that vulnerable w just anyone, right? so i get my prongsfoot fix and that’s good enough for me lol.

recs—i’m sorry i think i’m all out 😓 i recently did a bamf!sirius list and those r all fics i’ll stand behind. u can also click on the ‘fic recs’ tag and pray tumblr is feeling merciful enough to show u the other posts i have w jt lol

[sitp-recs]

12 fics I’ve enjoyed recently…

Last year I did a short-lived “weekly rereads” series to spread love for old favourites that kept me afloat when reading new things became a struggle. I was looking for ways to stay active and contribute to the fandom with minimal effort, and I found solace in revisiting fics that I hold dear in my heart. This year, spring brought the @dronarryfest to pull me back into reading mood. Fandom is starting to speak to me again after a very long time, and the euphoria hit me with inspiration to write this short rec post for my recent reads. I am joining the party a bit late but on the off chance these escaped your radar, here are some fics I’ve really enjoyed during my catch up moment in February/March, and a few I’m planning to dive into next. It’s so nice to be able to write comments and rec blurbs again! What have y’all been reading lately?

HP fics:

Wet Leather by @lqtraintracks (E, 492 words) - Harry/Sirius

I live for LQT’s rare pair drabbles especially when it’s for my beloved Sirry because nobody writes this ship like them. The A+ characterization always takes my breath away: so much tension laced with yearning, it feeds my horniest deepest Sirry cravings tripping between guilt and absolution. This short is full of heat, want and sweet indulgence, with the usual tenderness underneath driving me up the wall and making me soft and hot for these two. Also, “my drenched little pup” excuse sir I’m??? 🥵

Nightswimming by @sweet-s0rr0w (M, 5k) - established Drarry, Dron, implied Dronarry

One of my instant faves this year, what a masterclass in tension building! As always, I’m so impressed by sweets’ short form. The brilliant banter and relentless sexual tension put me at the edge of my seat praying for MOAR. The atmosphere is so captivating I could feel the temptation on my fingertips, and have I even mentioned Ron’s spot on voice?? Superb bromance dynamics, late night drive aesthetics, an impressive amount of characterization within 5k and a teasing ending full of promise, come and feast!

Borrowed Time by @the-starryknight (E, 7k) - Dron + Harry

Another delicious Dronarry treat, now showcasing established Dron, body swap, the sexiest UST you’ll see today and an incredibly satisfying payoff. Once again Starry delivers peak romance with their “hot & sweet” trademark mixing compelling dialogue, witty flirting and uncomplicated smut full of want but also trust, understanding and intimacy. Forget the maddening anticipation, the domestic slice-of-life tone made me swoon - the characters are so clearly fond and familiar with each other it’s only natural for them to come together like this.

Heart to Hearth by @jtimu (E, 7k) - Drarry

This fic is a breath of fresh air and I still remember how excited I felt reading it for the first time. I’ll never get tired of seeing Harry get utterly horny confused at an attractive and carefully guarded Draco being competent at his odd yet surprisingly fitting job. Repairman Draco is indeed mouthwateringly efficient with his long hair and coveralls, and their tentative and awkward dynamics are just excellent. Love the subtle humour, the bits of repair magic theory and the earnest slow burn, with a smooth progression towards deliciously indulgent smutty times. Amazing concept, perfectly executed.

Long Haul by @wolfpants (E, 8k) - Drarry

Wolf is killing it lately, loved their Dronarry but this fic stole my heart with the long haul love premise. The image of their encounter - Harry holding his passport between his teeth, Draco with Muggle headphones around his neck - stayed with me the whole night. Harry loves flying and connects with NYC for the same reasons I do, so this fic spoke to me in a very personal way. I love everything from the title and bold flirting to the scorching hot and intimate smut with smooth daddy Draco! Not too long ago I prompted Florence’s “End of Love” for Wireless - unknowingly, Wolf wrote the NYC fic I’ve dreamed about when I thought of it 💜

Permanent by @citrusses (M, 14k) - Drarry, Dron

I’ve always been drawn to time travel and Citrus set up a thrilling, mysterious mood that’s impossible to resist. I was deeply intrigued not only by the plot but also by the complexity of these characters - a belligerent Harry with daddy issues and a saviour complex (yes pls!), edgy and focused Hermione, perceptive and kind Ron charming his way inside our hearts, and a lonely Draco trying to make sense of the plot, handle his feelings and find his foot in the post-war world. I loved being inside his mind - such brilliant characterization - and seeing the golden trio through his eyes. This fic has a wistful, melancholy tone mirroring Draco’s longing for Harry that hit me right in the solar plexus. It is also a great Ron study, and I’ll admit that made me fall even harder for Dron. Finally, it is tender and devastating as all good things are. A brilliant read and an instant favorite.

Dick Chicken by @oknowkiss (E, 15k) - Harry/Draco/Ron

Believe me when I say this is the Seinfeld AU you didn’t know you needed because you don’t wanna miss out on this. Hands down one of the most entertaining fics I’ve read in a while, this is hysterical funny, witty and steamy. The perfect mix of crack-y and casually horny vibes with a quirky Draco, a lovable and relatable Harry, and a hot Ron who’s 100% there for the ride, this chaotic trio will pull you into an unhinged journey and you’re gonna thank them for that 🤣 superb Harry pov, a warm and playful atmosphere that feels intoxicating, and a glorious shower scene followed by a fake orgasm competition. You’re heard it right. Run don’t walk!

Knot Your Average Coworkers by @thecouchsofa (E, 22k) - Drarry

Office romance is my kryptonite and I couldn’t stop giggling as I made my way through this wolf!Draco treat. I was instantly smitten with the charming characters, the delightful silly knotting jokes 🌝 and the good old oblivious friends/coworkers to lovers dynamics that always gets me. Pining Harry wooing Draco through cooking is SO my jam, the perfect mix of sweet comfort & unbearable UST that fills me with joy and anticipation while also wanting to smash their heads together “kiss kiss fall in love” style. Yum!

Cargo Case by @sleepstxtic (E, 23k) - Drarry

This was such an exciting ride, I love the inherent yearning & intimacy of break up/make up stories and this case fic kept me engaged and rooting for Drarry (and Pansy/Parvati!) the whole time. It was wonderful to see them not being antagonistic after a break up for a change - there’s delicious ust, fabulous Draco & Pansy brOTP, not to mention their super cool job. I was as invested in the plot as I was in the romance, and I’ve had a really fun time following them around. Undercover boyfriends for the win!!!!

Truth to Materials by @toomuchplor, lately (E, 54k) - Drarry

Another fabulous plor fic as per, this artist!Draco story immediately won my heart with the hilarious opening scene and the perfect combo of Draco’s “brazen gay” voice and Harry’s “bi panic” mind. What a delight! Love the clever dialogue, the mood so chaotic horny but the humorous tone making me giggle my way through the delicious loo sex scene. Unique premise, great pacing, fantastic cast and charming characterization - this fic is so easy to devour it doesn’t feel like a 50k journey at all. The story is great fun, very engaging but also delivering multiple tender and heartkick-y moments. It checks all my boxes including our king Ron Weasley putting a banana into Draco’s sculptural arsehole 🤣 what else could I ask for?

Skybound by @xanthippe74 (T, 61k) - Drarry

As a longtime fan of Ghibli’s movies, I was over the moon to see one my own faves adapted to fit the HP universe. This is the Howl’s Moving Castle AU we deserve, a light, enchanting and fun read with a lovely smooth Draco and a lovely earnest Harry making such a great pair. I love how Xan played with the original material making adjustments here and there, and giving life to Timpsy, the apprentice elf with a whole subplot involving mistreatment of magical beings. Very sweet and creative read!

Other fandoms:

a man—with human flesh by spqr (E, 14k) - Paul/Duncan, Dune

I love that this author writes for all of my favorite ships, I feel so spoiled! This is (yet another) banger following the 2nd Dune movie and a fascinating dive into Paul’s fractured mind struggling between his long-standing affection for Duncan and the intrusive thoughts under BG’s influence. So intense, vivid and thought-provoking. I was hooked from beginning to end and deeply immersed in this universe. Love me a fic about emotional implications and complications while delivering excellent character studies, this is the shit I live for right here 🤌🏼

Next up on my to-read list:

Home series by @hoko-onchi-writes (E, 22k)

In which Draco grows up hiding and finds out he doesn't want to do that anymore. And he doesn't want his son to hide, either. (…). In which Harry grows up in darkness, falls in love, fucks up, learns some things, and falls in love again.

Passing Stranger by @lettersbyelise (E, 53k)

Five years after the war, Harry, listless and depressed, stumbles upon Draco Malfoy playing the violin in an underground bar in Muggle London. The catch? Draco lost his memories five years ago. Ignoring his friends’ advice, Harry befriends an unwitting Draco, overlooking the fact that their mutual attraction might not survive if Draco’s memories return.
