lovely little domestic prompts

feel free to use! :)

  • running their love interest a bath after a long work day
  • covering the sharp part of the table when they pass so they don’t hit their hip
  • “your mom is coming over today.” “tell her to bring fried rice or she’s not invited.” “you tell her, she’s your mom.” “but she likes you more!”
  • deciding together how they want their house to look
  • painting their child’s room together
  • “i meant it when i said i wanted to start a family with you.”
  • baby-proofing everything not because they have a child or are planning for one but because one character is clumsy as hell and the other is a worried mess alllll the time because of it
  • “wake up and come get breakfast, love.” “…. now…….. when i said yes to this whole marriage thing i thought we were on the same page and you understood when i said i don’t wake up before 6pm.” “i made hashbrowns.” “i’ll be right there.”
  • one character covering the other with a blanket when they fall asleep watching a movie on the couch
  • making tea or coffee for their love interest before bed (and just the fact that they know exactly how they like their tea and coffee swooon)
  • cooking anything together honestly, not even needing to ask where the items are because they’re so in tune and used to each other
  • “where’s the new coffee mix?” “i’ll tell you if you tell me where you put the keys?” “i TOLD you i don’t know where—”
  • long movie nights where one is in charge of the blanket and pillow fort and one is in charge of the snacks
  • them going on a short trip and one character nagging the other about bringing their allergy meds
  • nagging in general, frankly
  • “it’s your turn to do the dishes.” “let’s get a divorce.” “we aren’t married yet, my love.” “well we sure as hell aren’t getting married now.”
  • “i am one hundred percent content to stay with you on this couch until the end of time.” “that sounds pretty damn lovely to me.”

HI OH MY GOD IM SO EXCITED!!!! so this piece was drawn for @fragileizy ‘s wonderful wonderful fic saudade de sol as part of @mlbigbang It’s an ESPIONAGE AU!!! Marinette struggles to rely on Adrien and she’s a woman full of closed doors he tries to open. Some of them of a suspicious nature (what IS her connection to the Miraculi??) … GAHGG THE PLOT IS SO GOOD

How do I even begin to describe her writing??? It makes me shake in anticipation for every chapter, the plot just makes me ENDLESSLY curious. But my favourite bits are the tenderness (and the smut ofc), there’s just SO MUCH tenderness and chemistry and the way she writes Marinette and Adrien’s interactions is just so magnetic I just crave for more!!

Erised 2021 - Recs

A few days ago someone suggested doing an Erised roundup and I couldn’t resist spending the whole weekend immersed in it 😂 here are some of my favorites from last edition - I tried to include as many different tropes and tones as possible, but as always my picks reflect my own personal tastes. I strongly recommend checking the full 2021 collection here. Enjoy!!

Fics:

What Country, Friends, Is This? by khalulu (M, 8.4K) 🐍 - 8th year, field trip, snakes, getting together

When Harry and Draco are paired up for a nebulous “capstone project” in 8th year, Draco suggests they use it as an opportunity to take a free Grand Tour of Europe. Harry isn’t interested in being grand, and they soon veer off the beaten path.

Come Up for Air by @shiftylinguini (E, 13k) 🚂 - Veela Draco, heat cycle, forced proximity

In a train station in Northern Europe, while waiting to attend a Quidditch convention as the representative for Finland’s top Quidditch team, Draco Malfoy goes into heat. Across the platform, Harry Potter notices. Because of course he bloody does.

Up here (everything is different) by Etalice (T, 14k) 🏔 - isolation, abusive Harry/OMC (past), healing, found family, angst with a happy ending

After the war, Draco left England and made a new life for himself, working as a mountain rescue specialist in the alps and trying to become an entirely different person. He’s not happy, not quite, but he’s safe and he’s stable and it’s better than nothing. Then, Harry Potter shows up.

Benevolence and Redemption by @silveredglass (M, 19k) 📂 - case fic, Auror partners, trauma, office romance, lace kink

Draco’s the most unlikely Auror recruited to the department in at least three centuries. Ostracised and unwanted, he’s been on paperwork duties for the three years since he finished training.

Take These Lies by @pennygalleon (E, 20k) 🦚 - clubbing, secret identity (glamour), UST, voyeurism, coming out

There’s a portrait of his godfather in Draco Malfoy’s potions shop and Harry needs to know why. But that’s not why he keeps coming back.

Fearful Trill by @vukovich (E, 21k) 🛗 - terminal illness, unredeemed Draco, first time, public sex, angst with a happy ending

Harry should have come out and met someone when he was younger. He should have seen a doctor about the pain in his hip while youth was still on his side. Now, he’s made his peace with dying young, but maybe not with dying alone.

Beneath the Wave by @moonflower-rose (M, 30k) 🏝 - domesticity, food as metaphor for love, pining Draco, caretaking, bed sharing

Harry is done with a life in the spotlight. No more adventures, no more mortal peril. He wants a quiet life of food and friends, and family. He even manages to have it for a while, until suddenly there are giant rabbits that need ferrying to a mysterious island, and a handsome Draco Malfoy, and Harry’s right back in the middle of the action again, despite his best efforts.

The Ghosts of Hogwarts Past by @writcraft (E, 30k) 🏰 - Professors AU, break up make up, mystery, non-linear narrative

Draco has hardly had time to bask in his promotion to Head of Slytherin House when he gets news of Harry Potter’s return to Hogwarts. With his increased workload, the reappearance of the ex he never got over, the ghost that won’t let him sleep, and some curious coded diaries, it’s shaping up to be a hell of a year.

And I looked, and behold-! by @dwell-the-brave (M, 32k) 🧪- case fic, mystery, serial poisoning, falling in love

A Squib is found dead in a London flat and Harry Potter is on the case. But all is not what it seems as more people start to die of unknown causes. What does The Pale Horse have to do with this? And what does Draco Malfoy know?

Euphoria by @thehoneybeet (M, 35k) ❤️‍🔥 - case fic, angst, Unspeakable Draco, fake relationship, substance abuse

On a cold December evening, Draco disappeared from Harry’s life without a trace, and Harry hasn’t seen him since. Six years later, Harry is at his wit’s end with a case involving a string of apparent murder-suicides.

Artworks:

Capture by CelestialCat (G) 📱

Harry gets a Muggle smartphone, mostly to take pictures of Draco when he’s not looking.

Cover Me by @sharperthana (T) 📚

Headmistress McGonagall could have put the still-feuding Potter and Malfoy in detention for the entirety of eighth year. Instead, she put them in charge of the newly-created Basic All-Year Tutoring Sessions (B.A.T.S.).

May I sit? by @fantalf (G) 🎄

Harry simply asked, “May I sit?”

Mesmerising and mysterious ancient art by WielkiOgien (M) 🕯

Harry is always so helpful! This time he decides to take upon himself an ambitious task of obtaining a magical item of incredible power!Anything for Draco.
Okay, so Draco didn’t expect this at all. He doesn’t deserve this, not really. Doesn’t deserve him. But oh he wants to.

January 9 — Compilation

“Is this okay?” “Oh, no, this is good. Great, actually.” There’s such a hardness in his eyes that it almost takes her aback— she watches as Adrien’s jaw clenches in frustration, and then relaxes, and then tightens again— she wants to make it stop but knows that it’s best to let him work through it on his own. “Going on a faux honeymoon with my faux wife because our job demands it— the faux honeymoon, may I remind you, being in the exact same city as where our real honeymoon was going to be— and my faux wife being my actual wife I was in the process of losing while I’m still hopelessly in love with you. Everything’s great, Marinette.” “I love you,” she whispers. “I love you, too. Thank god you’re worth it,” he sighs.
Gabriel Agreste has been unmasked as Hawkmoth, and the girl who was fighting him all these years turns out to be Tom Dupain's daughter. And standing between them is Adrien Agreste with his life in shatters that Tom Dupain has no way of piecing together.
But baking is at least a place to start.
Maintaining fashion week, being Ladybug, and having an active social life isn't easy, but Marinette knows she can do it, especially with the support of her friends! Of course, the sneaking suspicion towards her boss won't help, nor will the feelings towards her heroic partner bubbling over. Or the feelings for her now roommates Alya and Nino. Or her dear friend Adrien and their girlfriend Kagami. It's all a mess, but she's Ladybug, so if anyone can untangle it all, it's her!

I kid but this post ACTUALLY inspired me to write something lmfao

Shance: my father’s an alcoholic and he sold me to buy beer :( AU
-

“Mr McClain? Mr McClain please. You have to eat please. Please eat something.”

A young servant kneels by Lance’s bed coaxing him desperately. But Lance just buries himself deeper into the custom Egyptian cotton sheets that Ta—, that Mr Shirogane gifted.

“Please Mr McClain, look, our chef has made your favorite meal, please take a bite?”

“It’s alright Terese, thank you. I’ll take over from here.”

Lance glares and tightens his grip on the pile he’s burrowed in as the bed dips. Takashi Mr Shirogane sighs deeply beside him and Lance hates himself for the jolt of guilt that runs through his bones at the disappointment in Takashi’s, goddamit, in Mr Shirogane’s voice.

“Lance. Darling please, are you determined to starve? Will you really worry me so my love?”

“You don’t deserve to call me anything anymore. If I could, I’d have you call me nothing at all. My name is vile in your mouth.” Lance’s eyes are dead as Shiro peels the covers to reveal him.

“Lance. I’m,” Shiro reaches for him pleadingly and almost, barely strokes his cheek before pulling back. “I’m sorry. It was the only way to ensure your safety. Your father he, he would have hurt you, love, I couldn’t just—“.

“So you buy me. With no warning, no discussion, sure as hell no consideration, you buy me, and you take the only thing standing between him and my baby brother.” Lance turns a furious cold stare on Shiro.

“Because you can. Because I’m an omega and you’re an Alpha and so you’re allowed to just throw your money, your status, your privilege about just to move things to your will with no regard for anyone else’s. You are exactly like the Alphas you say you detest.” Lance chokes on his anger and feels like screaming. Mr Shirogane looks horrified. Good. He should.

H/D Erised Fic: The Man With the Dragon Tattoo

Title: The Man With the Dragon Tattoo Author: Anonymous Recipient: @thelanguidcat Pairing(s): Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter Rating: Mature Word Count: ~8,000 Warnings/Content: domestic fluff, Draco is hard to read, Harry is great with kids, tattooed Draco, post-Hogwarts, EWE, kidfic, implied/referenced character death, kidnapping, drinking Summary: Though they haven’t seen each other for ten years, Draco enlists Harry’s help when his son goes missing. Harry and Draco grow closer, but is this just a temporary infatuation? 

Strands of long blond hair flew around the man’s face, showing flashes of multiple ear piercings, as he strode down the sidewalk towards Harry. His long, long legs were hugged by tight faded jeans and heavy black work boots covered his feet.  The faded black band t-shirt exposed the numerous tattoos on both his arms. In short, this man checked every one of Harry’s boxes.  

But as he drew closer one problem became glaringly apparent. He also ticked the box of childhood nemesis. Because striding towards Harry was none other than Draco Malfoy, whom Harry hadn’t seen since his trial after the war over ten years ago. Author’s Notes: Dear thelanguidcat, I really hope you enjoy your gift. I tried to write something you would enjoy and I really loved writing tattoo-covered Draco. Thank you so much to all the mods for their hard work and patience in putting together this fest. And a huge thank you to L for help with editing. Thank you so much for your much-needed cheerleading.

Been working hard on this fic day and night! I'm limiting myself to sharing two snippets of this fic— I realize that I should probably be showing off a snippet that has to do with the plot, but honestly? I love this part of the fic. It's such an Adrien thing to do, so I want to highlight it over and over.

We're allowed to share 500 words max of our fics, and I present to you... this. Here's my previous snippet, in case you missed it!

I can't wait to show you all the whole fic when we start posting it~ @thelanguidcat is my lovely partner in this event, and I'm so thankful!!! You're the absolute best!!! 💕

Thanks again to @mlbigbang for hosting this event. Oh my god thank you so much. I love it!! I haven't been able to quit writing!! I'm so excited for this event aaaaa!!

Title: come back to me (Dec 3rd)
Prompt: Dec 3rd (failed encounter, always once step behind; a new look; kaer morhen) @themountainarchives
Pairing: Geraskier, Geralt/Jaskier
Rating: T
Warnings: perceived MCD, not actually MCD, angst, pining & yearning: the works

Summary: 5 times Geralt catches a scent, a scrap, the tiniest pieces of Jaskier and feels a yearning so strong it could knock him over.

and the one time he catches nothing but grief that he’s lost all of Jaskier forever

Avatar
Title: (don’t) turn back the clock
Prompt: Dec 2nd Time Loop @themountainarchives
Pairing: Geraskier, Geralt/Jaskier
Rating: T
Warnings: Jaskier whump, eventual happy ending, angst

Summary: Since young, Jaskier has known he wasn’t...quite human. His ability to heal and de-age people has made him a target all his life. And yet it took devastating heartbreak (is there truly any heartbreak that isn’t) to realize not only can he turn back body clocks, he can literally turn back time itself.
