🍀 Oh, so beautiful and stunning!! … I adored the way you delved into addiction and wrote a more realistic side of continued struggle. The emotional depth you put into your writing is simply lovely. ... I've throughly loved reading every part of this and I am honestly a bit bereft to finish it. ~ cryptichedonist

🍀 It’s very rare that I come across fics that touch me so deeply that I am glued to my phone for nearly 24-hours, experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions that has my blood pressure hitting the roof or my chest aching with sorrow. Your fic did all this and more to me. Your Draco’s journey was everything. Everything. This fic is going to stay with me for quite a while and I’m already looking forward to my second, third, fourth…rereads. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible work. ~ trishjames

🐦 What an incredible closer for wireless! I don't even know where to begin, everything was so well done. I loved all the references to other fics, that "OH!" of recognition after trying to figure out why something felt familiar. I absolutely adored all of the beasts- you totally dropped me into Draco's world, so well thought out... Their banter was fucking on point- teasing but always finding the line, affectionate and sweet. I loved chubby Harry and how into it Draco was, so perfect for the two of them. Just honestly so bowled over by this whole fic, definitely a new one for the favorites list. ~ booktopus

Things Draco Malfoy has Done in the Muggle World During His Postwar Probation

Attempted to order from a menu by speaking to it

Almost breached the Statute of Secrecy due to mistaking someone using clap-on-clap-off lights for a muggleborn using wandless magic

Got into a heated argument with the actors in a commercial because he thought the people in the tv were talking to him

Refused to walk in front of a car for fear of bumping into the invisible animals that obviously pull it

Panicked and responded "I have no idea what you're talking about" when asked what the "magic word" is

Complained that his telephone is broken because it periodically emits a loud ringing sound for no apparent reason

Run into Harry Potter unexpectedly in a pub, dropped everything he was holding, and automatically caught it with wandless magic without thinking, thus breaching the Statute of Secrecy in front of 47 muggles and the most famous Auror in Britain

Run into Harry Potter again in the same pub, thanked him for getting him out of those misuse of magic charges and apologized (again) for all of the more unpleasant bits of their history

Accidentally on purpose run into Harry Potter yet again in the same pub to find out why he comes to muggle London so often and how he's doing and to let him know that he's not remotely interested in whether the rumors in the Daily Prophet that he's split up with Ginny Weasley are true (they are)

Met Harry Potter in a pub for drinks to chat about old times except not the sad bits at least until they've had a few

Taken his muggle friends out to a pub that he definitely chose at random but which coincidentally Harry Potter also happens to be walking into so they might as well all sit down together

Had to admit that he may have mentioned him a few times when Harry is shocked to discover that all of Draco's muggle friends seemingly know his name despite the fact that he isn't famous in the muggle world

Met Harry and Harry's friends for drinks and somehow actually had a good time and not been vengefully poisoned by Ron Weasley or cursed by Hermione Granger or stabbed by Neville Longbottom or anything else dreadful

Had to explain to several bemused people that when Luna Lovegood says that they used to live together she doesn't mean they were involved romantically

Invited Harry Potter back to his flat and proudly shown him that he now knows how to make a telephone stop ringing (you just lift it up for a moment and then slam it back down and that fixes it) and then told him off for laughing

Visited Harry Potter at his flat, also in muggle London though protected by the Fidelius Charm for extra privacy, met a very small and excitable owl and had a protracted but good natured argument about which of them was actually better at Quidditch (because obviously if Draco had had a Firebolt he would have won every match)

Got his wand back and immediately transfigured everything in his flat just because he can and because it feels so good to use magic again and then cast Rictusempra on Harry because clearly Draco is the superior dueler and also because he likes the sound of Harry's laugh

Kissed Harry Potter.

When I first read the summary, I thought to myself that I'll be happy as long as it isn't as trite as Legends and Lattes. Boy was that a low bar I set.

I was on the ride with draco the whole time, even when I was screaming at him to not make that giant delusional mistake. But the knot in my stomach kept getting tighter and tighter and the entire first half of the book felt like watching a train crash in real time.

And then everything changed. It was slow, and syrupy, and confused, and it hurt. Not a single character was safe; there were difficult choices about morality and justice and putting in the work and making reparations and heartbreak all around, and then there was healing. It was still complicated, but we were all okay.

This story is clearly a labor of love. It's impeccably paced and intricately detailed (also! The chapter header drawing thingies! Ah!). It's about addiction and sobriety and free will and love. It's about how love can hurt and it can heal, and this fic did both for me.

Thank you so much for this absolutely gorgeous rec, i almost teared up reading it. I wrote NATG at such a tough time and honestly i hardly remember a lot of it, so it's amazing to know that people are still reading and enjoying it and taking the time to write something like this. It was my first fic and I remember feeling proud of the pacing and the tension, so reading this was so lovely. One day i will bite the bullet and do a real thorough reread (i've got my bound copy, there's no real excuse)!

(also tysm @sitp-recs for pointing this rec out to me, i'd have hated to miss it)

Hey Liv,

My friend had the most chaotic day today. She left on holiday and ended up packing at the last minute. Cue bags overflowing in every room, a dog to get into the car, a kid to pick up at daycare and no time to spare.

THEN her husband’s car broke down so she had to go pick him up almost two hours away with both dog and baby in the backseat….

All this so say: she might need a pick me up.

Do you have a Drarry rec where either of them (or both) are absolute chaos/ are under a bad luck spell /…?

Love love love ❤️

Omg your poor friend! 😱 I’m sorry things have been wild for her, that sounds super stressful and overwhelming! I hope everything was okay in the end. This story actually led to a really interesting ask, I did a mix of curses, pranks and bad luck with a touch of angst at the end - hope they work for what you’re looking for!

Humor/Fluff:

After his five year sentence of magical suppression, Draco Malfoy got used to working without his wand. It's just days like today when nothing seems to be going right that he regrets his life in the Muggle world.

Special Affinity by skeptique (E, 4k)

Auror partners Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy seem to have a special affinity for getting into convoluted accidental bonds. Once is a mistake, twice is bad luck, and five times...well five times seems like carelessness, doesn’t it?

Bubbles, Baths, and Bad Luck by manixzen (E, 5k)

A poisonous potion covering Professor Potter nearly head-to-toe would normally be a pretty big deal. It should be as bad as his day gets. But that’s before he’s informed that the cure involves a steamy, hot bath with an unrequited crush.
It always rains for Draco Malfoy. Metaphorically. And literally. Ever since he had accidentally Conjured a cloud. A cloud that's ever so cross.

At the Crossroads There We’ll Meet by firethesound (E, 24k)

Potter keeps dying; Draco keeps saving him.

Rarely Pure and Never Simple by birdsofshore (E, 28k)

Harry never thought taking a job as Draco Malfoy's bodyguard was going to be easy. Add in a curse that makes Malfoy even more of an obnoxious git than usual, and Harry's got serious problems.
After transferring to the Apparition Department, Harry's life becomes one big dick joke. And all his friends are arseholes. So is Malfoy, but what else is new? AKA Harry Potter and the eighteen twenty dicks.

Draco Malfoy, It's Your Lucky Day by Faith Wood (E, 38k)

Even though he's unarmed, injured, lost in the Forbidden Forest, and facing a possible murder charge, Draco Malfoy gets lucky.

Skybound by xanthippe74 (T, 61k)

No matter how much Harry Potter wanted to believe he’d left danger behind when the war ended, it found him again anyway. All he had to do was step out his own front door on a Tuesday morning. A Drarry re-imagining of Howl’s Moving Castle.

Tea and No Sympathy by who_la_hoop (E, 70k)

It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always.

Angst:

Super Rich Kids by trishjames (E, 81k)

Draco Malfoy has become disillusioned by the glitz and glamour of the scandalous lives of the Post-Second Wizarding War Pureblood Elite. Enter: one existential crisis, one group of thieving cynical friends, and several terrible, terrible decisions.

Nor All That Glisters by sweet_s0rr0w (E, 110k)

Lonely and frustrated on house arrest, with no prospects for the future, Draco begins brewing Felix Felicis in an attempt to improve his lot. Just in the short term, of course. He isn’t a total idiot.

Heyyy, hope you have a safe trip home! I’m curious to know if you’ve ever written your own fics, and if you were to write a fic, what kind of a story would you plan and write? 👀

Avatar

Thank you my friend! Great ask, and this might shock some people but I’ve never considered writing a fic, ever. I think mainly because I don’t trust my English skills for that kind of adventure lol the only type of writing I can pull off are essays. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with a fictional work, I get stressed just thinking about the amount of world building, character development, dialogue! I’ve never felt the urge to try my hand at it and it all feels very foreign. I’m also not particularly creative so I think I’d be a very unhappy and frustrated writer - I much prefer reading other people’s ideas instead of coming up with my own headcanons - probably one of the reasons why I rarely prompt for fests 🤣 so it’s not in the plans at all for me but if I were to adventure myself it would most def be a short, chaotic horny PWP. As a lil treat 😌

“a sexual awakening so intense it registered on the richter scale” is the single best and most accurate description I have ever heard.

pov: you're 16 years old and doing the final test for your super license ahead of joining f1 as the youngest ever driver. you expect the doubt and hate, and you know you can prove on track why you deserve to be there once you actually get in a car, but until then, you just have to be the subject of everyone's headlines and criticism for a factor you can't control.

then this guy comes along.

race winner who got himself to a top team and is beating his world champion teammate, a cool older handsome charismatic guy with a giant smile and big brown eyes, beloved and kind while still being fiercely talented, competitive, and hungry? the guy who you met in 2011 and who gave you the time of day before you were old enough to sniff at the f1 grid. he's not even going to be your actual teammate (yet), but he still takes the time to tell you he's looking forward to seeing you on the grid when so much of what you've heard is nonstop criticism.

he tells you good luck for your super license with a big grin meant just for you

and this is how it makes you feel.

this is live footage of daniel ricciardo becoming a permanent fixture in max's spank bank. it's one of those foundational crushes you have at a young age that sticks with you for life and unconsciously affects "your type" forever and never truly goes away.

also, i just think everyone should hear the way max very softly says "he's a really nice guy, yeah" with so much affection packed into every word.

how are you not to psychosexually imprint on him? one look at that video and max was ready to risk it all. he's been metaphorically tucking his hair, kicking his feet, and giggling since day one. he found a guy who he could race hard, who would challenge him on track, but who would still make the miserable pr days better for them, who was always laughing at max's jokes every time he did his little glance over to ensure it landed. max is so fiercely loyal to his people, and daniel has clearly earned that trust.

tldr: max verstappen is number one dirlie and if he were on f1blr, he would be writing long posts with onboards, data, and that ☝️🤓 attitude of his explaining in detail why everyone is wrong about daniel, and i hope it haunts all the max fans who get their rocks off to calling daniel a washed asshole loser that max's porn folder is daniel late braking compilations.

Hi, I’m begging for help!

I’m looking for a drarry fic posted on ao3. There Harry finds Draco working with magical creatures and he keeps coming back to chat and to help Draco, but he only later realizes that it’s not just a regular job for Draco as the Ministry took away his wand and holds him there as a punishment for his role in the war. When Harry finds out he tells Hermione and they try to save Draco.

Passing Stranger (E, 53K), a Drarry fic by lettersbyelise

Summary: 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.

The Bolthole by aideomai and Tepre

I bound this fic a month or two ago for the Renegade Guild’s Pacific Northwest server exchange, and it finally reached the recipient. It’s a lovely Drarry fic about a hoarder Harry who lives in a cottage, and Draco comes to stay with him. I printed the cover design with a laser printer on Japanese book cloth, and I was delighted with how it gave it the feel of a much older book.

The endpapers are homemade paste papers, with the book edges painted to match.

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern! Ty for the tag @wolfpants @oknowkiss @thecouchsofa 🖤 I don't have 10 published fics (yet!) but here we go. All are Drarry <3 1. Gemini in Retrograde (T)

“Malfoy!” comes a gruff voice from the office across from Draco’s desk.  “Get in here!”
Draco’s sentence, everyone agreed, was very, very light. 
Every second was agony. Every breath was a punishment, every exhalation a gauntlet. 

4. Löyly (E)

Helsinki is very, very grey in December. 

5. The Roommates (ft. Drarry + Draco/Sirius, E)

It’s barely dawn, but Harry can’t sleep. It’s nothing new. He hasn’t slept well in months. 

The Pattern: I very, very much see a pattern here 😬. Otherwise, they’re all brief! Rereading these I’m also remembering what the original first sentences of these fics were, which I usually cut to get to the action faster. e.g. OORU was Harry walking to practice which was way less exciting than him actually being in the boat.

Thank you for the tags @wolfpants @thecouchsofa @citrusses !

~~~

  1. Until Next Time (E 10k)
Harry arrives on Wednesday morning. The whipping sound as he apparates fades off into the surrounding fields before he’s swiftly tackled by a Weasley. 
It’s not the smoothest ride Harry’s ever been on. It never is when Ron’s driving, crunching the gears and jolting the brakes of his run-down Ford Anglia as they skid around the country lanes. 
Draco peers over his shoulder as the door to the shrieking shack creaks on its hinges. “Scared Potter?” 
“Oi, mate, you’re not gonna like this…” Ron sucks in a harsh breath against the neck of his bottle, and juts his chin in the direction of the bar. 
For the third time this week, Potter strolls into the Ministry bathrooms wearing nothing but a dangerously low towel around his hips and a smirk that could make half the wizarding world drop to its knees. 
Draco (20:05) - there’s someone in my flat 
It’s bright outside. Really bright. In fact, as Harry peers around the open space, the vibrancy of his surroundings abuses his senses.
The train rattles through the expanse of open fields.
Why did Harry Potter have to be so bloody perfect all the time? 

10. Secret Santa (E 3k)

Harry looked down at the small red present Ron had handed to him from underneath the common room Christmas tree. 

Not sure I see a pattern, but I can tell my openers have gotten a little more creative over the years. Oh, the joys of progression!
