Heeeeeyy!! How you doing?

I actually have exams this week but I can't seem to get drarry out of my head and I recently read a fic where harry was wearing boots and well....I definitely vomited atleast a few rainbows...sooo uk of any authoritarian harry fics?..(I sound like I'm asking for drugs ｡◕‿◕｡)...I'm ok with almost all tags as long as it's drarry. Short fics would give me more time to study but I don't know if it will satisfy my need for confident Harry. Anyways thank you so much , whenever u get around to this. Hope u have a great day!

God I’m so sorry this took ages to reply, I hope your exams went well!! I’m okay just awfully busy at work as usual, I keep trying to keep up with all the fests but am failing miserably to be honest. Ohh yes I couldn’t agree more, sexy and confident Harry is what we all deserve 🙌 as you know my memory is terrible with specifics, but these works came to mind when I thought of authoritarian!Harry and uniform kink. I hope my followers have more recs to share:

Hey! Can you rec me any fics which could be considered "classics" or "must read" for ereri? I just got back into reading ereri fanfic after a long time and I would like to read something that will pull me back into the ship

Welcome back to rivaereri, @yaxima!

While there are some fics noted as ‘classics’ and ‘must reads,’ we strongly urge you to go into the relationship tag and read anything that interests you. The rivaereri fandom is immensely talented and there’s a broad range of fics to read. Don’t be fooled by the kudos count, for there are many hidden gems waiting for you.  

In the meantime, try these that have popped up in recent years~

Ein Riese, der Fliegen Wollte by Closet_Cleaner

(Rated E, 113,752 words, multichapter, ongoing)

He needn't have worried. The small one was strong.

He sees the human many more times since then. It seems as if the herd doesn't venture out without it. He wonders if that one is the pack-leader. It seems logical, but humans are not always creatures of logic.

He forces back memories of that one, and continues to shadow the herd whenever it ventures out. He makes a habit of waiting in the small grouping of trees near the gate so as not to miss one of their outings. Eventually he learns to distinguish the small one from the others even before it takes to the air, and he feels proud of this accomplishment.

Months later, only hours after the humans had returned behind their walls, everything changes.

(In which Eren is not a human that can turn into a Titan, but a Titan that can turn into a human.)

To One in Paradise by Flamoria

Forest of Twilight by Fluffyboots

(Rated E, 238,270 words, multichapter, ongoing)

Viridian wings flapped a few times in preparation, silently praying that he was faster than whatever was about to chase him through the perilous forest.

The haunting red eyes edged closer, swaying in the foliage as they shifted towards him. That was the cue to flee.

Eren spread his wings wide, poised to jump, but his body froze when an eerie whisper came from among the leaves.

“Aren’t you just the prettiest thing…"

Red Heat by sciencefictioness

(Rated E, 156,496 words, multichapter, ongoing)

Eren is one of the few Alphas who go into rut without the presence of an Omega in heat nearby, and after suppressing it for nearly two years, the drugs are no longer working. As a last resort he heads to an Omega refuge, hoping to find a suitable, but temporary, mate. When he finds one lost in a fatal 'red heat', he'll do whatever it takes to ease his suffering.

When Levi's fist sounded out against the wood, the Alpha did not open it right away. Leaned into it, pressing his forehead against the smooth surface. Felt the pull of the Omega on the other side, just as he had that first day in the shelter. A whole new kind of gravity that tugged him not down to the earth but straight towards Levi. The laws of the universe shifting to bring them closer together, and Eren could not resist their inevitability.

An Alpha and Omega set of best friends includes its own plethora of struggles and misunderstandings.

Hey! How are u doing? I read a fic recently (I forgot the title-) where harry ends up going to a future where harry and draco are together and kinda watch from the sidelines. It was pretty good. Do uk of any similar fics like that? It doesn't need to be entirely about him in that other world or future. As long as it has some sort of harry seeing into another world or future where draco and harry are friendly or dating, I'm interested. I guess Turn by Sara'sgirl is also kinda like that. I really liked those. I don't know if this is too specific, so if u can't find any that's ok. Thanks for the help!

Hello hello! I think the fic you mentioned is the soft & gorgeous Quick as a Flash of Lightning, Unhurried as Eternity by @onbeinganangel, I love it! This is such a great trope, and Turn is definitely the first fic that comes to mind. Here are some other recs involving either Harry or Draco peeking into another timeline/universe:

Hey

Um I don't know if I should be asking this but I thought I'll try it since there's no ask option.

So I am in a lot of fandoms and I always see a lot of hate for ships or characters I like in comment sections and videos and stuff. Usually if it's like videos i just skip past but I am all about listening to the other side and not living in an echo chamber and it almost always ends with me feeling drained coz there's just a lot of hate most of the time. I was thinking about asking anything u usually do when it comes to hate where people say stuff like ur wrong or immoral for liking or reading something...

Thanks for all that u do for our fandom. Just saying it out to someone helped a lil. Thank u so much for ur recs, reblogs of lovely advice, being a nice and kind person in this fandom and everything else

Hi there! Thanks for sending this, I’ve reopened the asks because I really wanted to answer this one publicly. Many of my new followers may not know, but I’m a pro-shipper, ship & let ship, kinktomato and whatever else defines folks who couldn’t care less about what others enjoy in their free, private time. I happen to indulge many ships considered “problematic”, most of them involving age gap, so I consider myself personally implicated in any conversation about fandom hate. I may not receive as much in this blog but I certainly got it in other fandoms so I feel like I do have some experience (especially because I’ve dealt with this conflict internally, way before I decided to expose myself and engage with the fandom community).

Anyhoo! How do I deal with hate on ships and characters I enjoy? I tend to follow the avoid - delete - disengage triad. It’s not an easy task, it requires a lot of self-control and focus not to delve into it, but ultimately I’ve decided that my mental health is way above any rich, interesting convo I may get out of it. That’s easier said than done if we go beyond anon hate to include actual friends who disagree with you, but I feel like a compromise must be done on both cases.

For example, my fave character is Tony Stark. I love him like I’ve never loved any character before or since, and I’m particularly sensitive about his arc and about his relationship with Steve in Civil War. My closest fandom friend is @tackytigerfic and Tony is SO NOT her fave 😂 I know that, she knows I know that, we respect each other’s views and we simply don’t talk about it (Tacky is not a MCU fan either way and Drarry is soo much more interesting!) but I’m pointing this out because we get on really well and I’m sure we could have AMAZING convos about the MCU in general and about Tony and Steve in particular, but I won’t go there because it’s a discussion that wears me out, makes me bitter, makes me sad, makes me think and feel things I don’t want to face while I’m enjoying fandom in my free time. I guess your friends will either take it or leave it, but honestly respecting someone else’s limits is a basic friendship law (or it should be!) and a common courtesy in general.

People often ask us to be the “bigger person” and talk it out like the mature adults we are, but fandom isn’t a paid job - it’s a hobby and as such we owe absolutely nothing to strangers about whatever fictional preferences we choose to indulge in our free time. We all want different things out of fandom and I believe we should actively pursue it, and focus on what brings us joy, comfort and fulfillment. I don’t want to see things that upset me, and I’m not here to have mindblowing meta talks at the cost of my own peace of mind, not even with close friends. That’s not a compromise I’m willing to make, so I don’t. So I go on unashamedly deleting rude asks, ignoring shitty comments, blocking blogs, and living this fandom life inside my happy bubble. After a few years struggling to come with terms with what I enjoy and what I want out of fandom, it is that simple for me.

Now I’m 100% comfortable with knowing my reading preferences aren’t a reflection of my personality or morals, I feel freer and self-aware in a way I’ve never felt before. And again, this is what works for me - while my 2 cents may not be as helpful to someone else, I’m posting this publicly hoping to maybe start a conversation and get some other perspectives to share. I hope you find a way to deal with it that won’t take away your joy of interacting with fandom :) stay safe! ❤️

Heeey! Ik I send an ask recently but this is for a frnd who isn't in Tumblr. She say a vid recently where harry was a schizophrenic and Hogwarts is actually a mental asylum. Hermione is there for bipolar and anxiety. It's a good tik tok. She was asking me if ik any fics where that was kind of the premise. Do u know of any? I don't really know what to search for in ao3. Thank u so much! Take care!

Hello! Sorry, I’ve never read any fic like this. Maybe my followers can help?

[sitp-recs]

Hey! So I was talking to one of frnds recently and I recommended cruel river to them, but the second half of that book has been deleted by the author. I thought the original ending was really good. It's not disrespectful to the author to look for it right? If it's not can u help me find it? (• ▽ •;)

Hello! I think that probably means the author is not happy with that part and plans to edit and/or rewrite it; no matter the reasoning behind it, it’s their creation and if they don’t want it public then I think it’s respectful to honor their wishes and let go :) that’s why I never included Maya’s stuff on my reclists. I’m aware there are many PDF copies of her works available on the internet, but personally I don’t think it’s nice to publicly share something purposefully deleted by the author themselves. But that’s me! 🤷🏻‍♀️
