@hprecfest day 5: non ao3

This was such a hard one. I only do ao3 nowadays, so I started to think waaaaay back when I was a teeny weeny child exploring the internet getting my fanfiction fix. I used to read (and write, oh god) only in Finnish in a Finnish HP fanfiction forum, which became my internet home. I met some of my closest friends on that forum 🫶🫶 These fics are an essential part of my lore so enjoy these three early 2000's stories:

Seamus is Seamus and You are Yourself by Ari Munami 🩵 ff.net, 36,741 words, draco/harry

Harry goes through some... er, changes before Sixth Year. Everyone, including Draco Malfoy, sits up and takes notice. DM/HP.

This was my favorite fic at some point. Harry had a massive glow up during the summer (aka he got rid of his glasses???) and became the hottest shit in Hogwarts. Everybody and their mothers were thirsting after him. I ate this up and left no crumbs. This story features *a lot* of asterisks, and is the most unhinged shit ever. All the POVs are so fucking hilarious. I'm still low-key loving this 22 years after it was published. Not the freshest fic by far as what comes to it’s contents so yeah it’s a bit sus

Welcome to the Real World by IamtheLizardQueen 🩵 ff.net, 124,521 words, draco/harry

A Harry/Draco romance, set post-Hogwart's in muggle London. Includes red mittens, linoleum, witty retorts, angst, love, dance clubs, strange friends, cooking shows, and coffee not necessarily in that order !

This I started to read as a translation when I was 14 I guess? The translator continued to post this until chapter 10 or so and vanished from the forum and then I read the rest in English. I checked and the translation was finished by another translator later. I can't remember much of this fic but I remember being so invested in it. Time to try to re-read I guess

Little Pink Pills by MushroomAnn 🩵 ff.net, 21,504 words, draco/harry

Two young boys, one last fight, two little pills called Ecstasy and one long detention. A.N: written after OotP and set during sixth year. Warning: drug use!

I checked and this has been crossposted to ao3 as well, but I'm including it anyways. I was probably around 15 when I read this (translated as well) and it completely altered my brain chemistry. Harry and Draco rolling on molly is the purest and most endearing thing ever. I absolutely love this fic so much and now re-reading it made me so happy, I could feel the ecstasy love oozing from me as well as the comedown. I really had no idea of anything when I first read this, so now that I'm older and wiser and done my fair share of stuff it just hits different

❀ he’s been noticing you more and more — sat on the corner of the cafe he frequents during his breaks

❀ you would always order the same drink and sit on the same table by the window, he would occasionally glance at you, admiring the way sunlight hits your skin and the way the cafe music seemed to be playing solely for you

❀ but you always left too soon for his liking, 15 minutes before 2 in the afternoon to be exact

❀ he never knew where you went or what you did outside of the little cafe he sees you in everyday

❀ but soon enough, he was given a chance

“excuse me, is this seat taken?” 

he saw your eyes look up at him in surprise and your lips curve into a small smile, “oh! no, go ahead”

“sorry for the trouble, i didn’t expect it to be this packed today”, he said in an attempt to engage in small talk

“it’s no problem at all” you assured him with another smile, “i often see you here, do you work nearby?”

❀ the two of you continued to chat until akaashi needed to remind you of the time

❀ but of course before you could even leave he'll ask you for your number saying

"i'd really like to know you more, if that's alright with you"

❀ of course it's alright with you sjckskdks

❀ the two of you would meet at the café everyday, except the weekends — same spot and same time, until it became part of your routines

❀ keiji took his time getting to know you and openly expresses his admiration for you

❀ of course you liked him back, he was sweet and considerate, he was everything you would like in a partner

❀ but you just needed to make sure of one thing before diving headfirst into a relationship

"akaashi-san—"

"keiji", he corrected, reaching out for your hand

the warmth of his hand helped eased your nerves of bringing up something that may potentially be a huge deal breaker

"keiji, we've been meeting for a while and i thought maybe it's time i tell you,"

❀ when you said you have a daughter, you never would've expected him to say "can i meet her?"

❀ you almost cried then and there— it had always been a big deal to the guys you met before, you being a single mother

❀ keiji sensed your relief and squeezed your hand in reassurance that it really was no big deal to him

❀ well it was, but it wasn't something that would easily shake up his resolve of being with you

❀ meeting your daughter for the first time was set in the same café, on a saturday half past noon

❀ he smiled seeing the quiet four year old on your lap, curious eyes and a small smile as he held out the little bunny plushie he got for her as a gift

❀ weekend café dates became frequent with the three of you and soon became home dates— alternating between your and keiji's apartments

❀ your daughter loved when he read to her, having her sat on his lap with a picture book in his hands

❀ more often than not, you would catch him fast asleep on the couch— picture book on the floor and your child snuggled up against his chest

❀ during these moments, especially, you couldn't help but imagine spending every day with them both without having to part ways by the end of it

❀ and of course, when he wakes up, keiji can't help but think the same thing when he wakes up to you smiling softly at him and the little girl who kept a part of his heart inside her tiny little hands

❀ your son met him first

❀ he just got out of the police academy and was assigned near the elementary school gates

❀ kids would often come up to him with fascination in their eyes

❀ and it wasn't a different case with your seven year old son

"hey mister are you a policeman?"

"sure i am, why do you ask?" he answers with the softest smile, crouching down to the child's level

"that's so cool! mom said my dad was a policeman, maybe you're my dad?"

he watched the boy's eyes widen in realization and he couldn't help but chuckle

"sorry, bud, but i don't think i have a child yet neither do i have a wife"

"well do you want one?"

❀ that effectively painted his cheeks in red, standing straight up and ruffling the boy's hair, urging him to go straight home

❀ everyday your son would come up to him to ask him the same questions and saying the same things

"would you want to be my dad?"

"i think it'll be sooo cool to have you as my dad"

"let me ask my mom if you can be my dad"

❀ jesus help this man pls

❀ he found it all to be endearing and soon enough he looked forward to chatting with your son for a few minutes every afternoon on his way home from school

❀ your child would always brag about how nice you are, how pretty, and just how amazing of a mom you are

❀ an amazing lil wingman if u ask me

❀ it wasn't until one of his day offs that he met this wonderful mom that he always heard of— and boy was he stunned

❀ he was out grocery shopping, skimming the aisles when he heard the familiar voice of your son

"mama, it's the policeman i was talking to you about!"

before you even had the chance to react, your child bolted through the spice aisle and cling to this man's leg

you quickly caught up to him and was about to apologize to the stranger when you saw him get to your child's level and pat at his head

"oh hey, didn't know i'd catch you here"

"i'm with mama! now you can see just how pretty she is!"

❀ the comment made both your faces heat up but even moreso when daichi looked up at you, absentmindedly muttering a "she is"

❀ your son had the proudest grin on his face >:)

❀ the three of you went out for lunch then which you insisted to be for all the trouble your son has caused him— who so conveniently disappeared to the playhouse to leave you two to yourselves

❀ it didn't take a lot for daichi to be absolutely smitten by you— admiring how you could handle a child and a job all by yourself and still managing to have that pretty smile on your face

❀ he had to thank your son his little accomplice the next time they have their afternoon chat

❀ and maybe start planning on "Operation Get Mom and Daichi-san Together"

❀ started as students sharing a class and later on became inseparable best friends

❀ you two met in college

❀ tōru would rave on and on about how much better you were than "iwa-chan" whom he never lets you see during their facetimes bec you "might fall for him and choose iwa-chan over me"

❀ he was there to witness you going out with an orgmate, there to listen about the first time you got laid, and of course he was there to comfort you when your ex left the moment you told him you were pregnant during your third year in college

"do you want to keep it?"

tōru held you close as you cried, his soft voice mingling with your sobs

"i d-don't know"

you buried your face on his chest, prompting him to hold you tighter and rub comforting circles on your back

"whatever you choose to do, i'll be here", he promised "i won't leave you"

❀ the moment you decided to keep your baby was the moment it was decided that oikawa would co-parent with you

❀ during your pregnancy, he came to your apartment everyday and stayed over on weekends

❀ he kept his promise and never left your side even after you gave birth

❀ he practically moved in with you, staying up late at night to care for your child so you could get some rest, he changed schedules and skipped classes to let you continue going to yours

❀ it was alright, he said, afterall a pro volleyball team was already eyeing him— he was set even before graduation

❀ the both of you fell into a steady rhythm of domesticity

❀ eating breakfast together, taking turns changing your daughter's diapers, cuddling in the same bed and having sleepy conversations about the future and how you're both thankful of the other

❀ it was never established what you two were— you just knew that you were each other's constant and that you promised to stay with the other until god knows when

"what're you planning to do then?"

"i don't knoooow~ iwa-chan help me out here~"

"well, for starters, you should go and tell her— y'know, about argentina"

there was a moment of silence between the line, tōru mulling over his options

"i don't want to leave her" was his quiet reply

"i know you don't, but this opportunity may never come by again, don't let it slip"

❀ it was a few weeks before your graduation, your daughter now more than a year old, when he received the call inviting him to play for argentina

❀ on one hand he knew it was the chance of a lifetime, but when he looks at you in his arms with your daughter on your chest, he couldn't even think about leaving you

❀ it was less about the promise he made and more about how he couldn't imagine his everyday without the two of you

"y/n-chan~"

you only hummed in response but looked up to meet his eyes

"if i were to get invited to go to the other side of the world to play volleyball, would you come with me?"

he held your gaze with hesitation

"i'll go anywhere with you, tōru, i thought you knew that by now"

a small smile of relief graced his face as he exhaled, closing his eyes and rubbing his face against yours, "thank you"

the next few moments were spent in comfortable silence before he broke it with a chuckle, "is it too late now to ask you to be my girlfriend?"

"tōru, we're basically a married couple for the past two years"

...

...

...

"so will you marry me for real?"

What would tonio be like with a crush on a rival business owner? Like both wanna be the best in morioh but their p evenly matched in terms of skill

Boy I love Tonio to pieces - when will this wonderful Italian man come for me? I just adore him he’s one of my fav p4 characters~ Please enjoy!

- Ghost

·        Upon hearing about a new restaurant opening upin Morioh Tonio wouldn’t be surprised – afterall opportunities were rife inthis town so it made sense that others would come along to make the best ofsuch opportunities; of course he was curious to meet them for himself and hewas actually tempted to visit their restaurant for himself to introduce himselfbut his work at his establishment often meant these plans never came tofruition until at least a month or two since the rival business had opened

·        He would find himself pleasantly surprised to findthat his first encounter with them was during a trip to collect some newingredients for a new dish he was determined to perfect, he didn’t expect tofind them in the same place for a similar reason but they were certainlybreath-taking not only with their appearance but also in demeanour; they werepolite and a pleasure to talk to and by the time they had to part ways Toniofound himself not wanting the conversation to end just there, so from thatpoint on the two of them would visit each other more often after that day

·        While one might assume that considering theyboth wanted to be the best in Morioh there would be some form of competitionbetween them the two of them in fact got along incredibly well, the only waythere would ever be a form of competitiveness would be if it was all be in goodfun – Tonio certainly admired their skill as did S/O with his skills and whilstthey only started off with the occasional conversations whenever the two metoutside of their respective establishments it eventually escalated until thetwo of them were meeting up nearly every day after closing up to talk about allmanners of topics from their latest customers to anything that was sparked as aresult of the conversation (Tonio is a pretty chill and relaxed person so S/Owould definitely be put at ease in his presence)

·        Of course it would take a reasonable time forTonio to develop any feelings further than a mutual friendship, he would merelyjust think that it was admiration in regards to their drive and determinationto succeed in their craft; however once he realizes how much he looks forwardto their visits no matter how brief and how they always seem to occupy histhoughts he’ll have a fairly neutral reaction overall, he won’t change how hetreats them per se but they will certainly notice that he’s even more warmeraround them than he usually is

·        Even with the realization of his feelings he won’tthink to outright confess to them immediately, deciding to let them simmer fora while to determine whether or not his feelings had a chance to beingreciprocated and he would most likely have his own concerns about it especiallyconsidering they’re ‘rivals’ but eventually he would reason that confessingwould be far easier than simply bottling it up

·        He would invite them to have a cooking date ofsorts (although S/O wouldn’t know that it was a date just yet) and the two ofthem would spend the entire evening making all sorts of goodies and delicaciesfor one another to test and try – the kitchen is familiar territory for both ofthem so it would put them more at ease to be around one another in such area,not to mention seeing how concentrated yet content they are as they worktogether just makes his heart swell; once everything had been cooked and thecooking utensils had been cleaned up and put away the two would enjoy tastingone another’s food (Tonio would have left Pearl Jam out of all of his dishes ofcourse) and giving their opinions on which one they liked the most as theyexchanged conversation

·        Tonio would offer up a piece of their favourite dishon a fork or spoon for them to try, watching their eyes light up at the sightof the food with a muted chuckle as they took the offered piece eagerly,closing their eyes and savouring the taste with a satisfied hum; uponopening  their eyes they would notice himlooking at them with such a warm smile on his face and inquire what was upthinking they perhaps had a stray piece of food on their face somewhere, but hewould shake his head and straighten himself up, taking their hands into his ashe begins to tell them about his affections for them

·        His confession is a short one but every word hasmeaning and they would be enamoured listening to him speak, already feelingtheir face burning because they can just feel the honesty behind each sentencehe utters and they can’t bear to look away even after he’s finished and askedif they would accept his feelings and become his partner (in fact they’llprobably have to take a few moments to process how he feels about them becausedamn if he can’t be smooth with his words when he wants to be)and if theyaccept his confession then he will gently cup their cheeks with his hands andrub circles into the skin, offering them such an elated expression beforepulling them to him in a firm hug

·        Their relationship wouldn’t affect theiroccupations from that point on although they would be far more open andaffectionate with one another which would prompt many people to dub them ‘therival couple’ among other, far more endearing names for the pair of them; asidefrom their relationship though very little would change  overall, the only potential change whichcould come as a result being plans to perhaps work together rather than workingseparate restaurants however that would arguably be considered a lot later inthe relationship
