25 May 2024 | 2/2 | LCDrarry Fic
Prompt: "Se7en", 1995, David Fincher Prompted by: MoonyEmilie3017 (ao3) Author: Anonymous Word Count: 20,796 words Rating: Explicit Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Notes: Hello all and thank you for checking out my fic! I was very excited to write for LCDrarry and equally excited to claim Se7en as a prompt, as it's one of my favorite movies. With that said, please be aware that Se7en is a thriller movie that is often also characterized as a horror film. It is quite violent and the content is such that many people find it disturbing. While this fic does not follow all of the same story beats, it does contain content that is comparable to that of the film. For those that would like to make use of them, there are detailed warnings behind a clickable spoiler tag on AO3.
Summary: There's a serial killer stalking magical London. The murders are gruesome, bizarre, and somehow connected to the Voldemort wars. Auror Harry Potter is paired up with an analyst from the Department of Mysteries to piece together the clues in the killer's unsettling game before they kill again.
The good news? This analyst is the best one on offer. The bad news? It's Draco Malfoy.

25 May 2024 | 1/2 | LCDrarry Podfic
Prompt: “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”, 2002, Joel Zwick Written by: slyth_princess Narrated by: Anonymous Podfic Length: 07:17:21 Rating: Mature Warnings: None
Notes: I’m so excited to be a part of the fest this year doing a podfic! Thank you to the wonderful mods for all your patience as I rediscovered what an undertaking 65,000 words can be. I truly enjoyed recording this and hope that anyone who stops by to listen to this sweet story finds just as much joy in it as I did.
Summary: A decade after the war, Harry Potter is lost. There was a time when he knew exactly who he was, where he was going, and what he wanted. He is not that man anymore. Until one day he decides he is done. No more wearing clothes that don't fit, stuck in a job that was meant to be temporary, and simply coasting through his life. He has a plan. And, unsurpisingly, every single Weasley and honourary Weasley seems to have an opinion about it. But it's fine. Harry knows he is doing the right thing.
What he didn't plan for, however, was to find love in the most unexpected place. And with the most unexpected person. Still, it's going to be fine. Like he said, he has a plan. Weasley opinions be damned. He's got it all under control. Doesn't he?
Featuring a million Weasleys, a daft labrador, and a whole bunch of people just trying to figure out their lives.

24 May 2024 | LCDrarry Fic
Prompt: “Red, White & Royal Blue”, 2023, Matthew Lopez Prompted by: Moon_Peach Author: Anonymous Word Count: 40,058 words Rating: Explicit Warnings: Mentions of death, drug and alcohol use and abuse, homophobia, racism, discrimination, brief mention of marital SA
Notes: This was truly a labour of love and I had such a great time writing it! I've watched RWRB no less than 50 times and read the book over three or four times at this point and every single time, all I can think about is how drarry-coded Alex and Henry are. This fic is HEAVILY inspired by Casey McQuiston's work and combines some of my favourite parts from both the book and the movie, adding back in some quintessential characters like June, who were unforgivably erased from the narrative for the film. Thank you to my partner E and my good friend T for the support and encouragement throughout the entire process, I couldn't have finished this without you guys. And a HUGE thank you to the LCD mods for their hard work in running this spectacular fest!
Summary: Prince Draco Malfoy is known all over the world as “The Modern Day Prince Charming”, ask anyone - well, anyone except for Harry Potter, first son of the Indian president and (self) sworn rival of said stuck-up, snobbish prince.

Notes: thank you so much, A, for betaing <3
Summary: University students Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy run into each other one day. Literally. On bikes. After that, they can't get away from each other, no matter how hard they try. And then, it seems, they might not want to. Based heavily on the C-Drama "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" on Netflix.

22 May 2024 | LCDrarry Fic
Prompt: "Saltburn", 2023, Emerald Fennell Prompted by: @themiddleofwonderland (Amazuppai on ao3) Author: Anonymous Word Count: 29,811 words Rating: Explicit Warnings: Unhinged Harry Potter, Dark Harry Potter, Obsessive Harry Potter, Character Death, Animal Death, Fat Shaming, Minor Character Death, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, Inspired by Saltburn (2023), References to Frankenstein, Necrophilia, Off-scene suicide (mentioned)
Notes: Title from the song Loneliness by Tomcraft Thanks so much to Amazuppai for their prompt: Saltburn but make it gay(er) and magical. Would love Draco as Felix and Harry as Oliver with all the unhinged Gothic vibes of the movie. Hope the fic is everything you wanted to see in a Drarry/Saltburn AU!
It takes a village to write a fic, especially for a fic fest, so I want to thank: L. for being THE best beta and cheerleader I could hope for! Your insight into this story helped me believe when I thought it didn't make any sense and your cheerleading made me actually finish this damn thing. Without you this fic would not exist. O. for making me write the most unhinged things and stoking their fires. You're my other braincell! ILY!!! P, W and S for screaming with me about this fic. Your enthusiasm helped me finish! The LCD server: I'm privileged enough to have witnessed, once again, the strength of this community. You're why I come back to fest writing and want to do it more. And to the LCD Mods: you're stars and we DO NOT deserve you!!!
Summary: Fucking Pansy was like fucking a fish. or Drarry meets Saltburn

Prompt: "Rush", 2013, Ron Howard Prompted by: @sleepstxtic Author: Anonymous Word Count: 24,890 words Rating: Mature Warnings: brief mentions of (canonical) child abuse
Notes: thank you so much to the mods for putting on this wonderful fest!! i’m so so grateful to have gotten to take part in it, even with my late entrance (and late submission). K, i absolutely loved your prompt – though i certainly played fast and loose with it!
a million thanks and a kiss on the lips to my irl bestie, T, for her unwavering support, thoughtful betaing, and willingness to answer all of my ridiculous questions about ballet and balanchine. and an additional million thanks to everyone who listened to me ramble as i dragged myself across the finish line of this fic.
Summary: Draco had fucked him over, yet again. Harry was sick of it.
With music swelling from the orchestra below, lights beating down on him hard enough to break a sweat before the first variation, the audience rapt with attention, this should have been the greatest moment of Harry’s life. But it wasn’t. Of course Draco fucking Malfoy had to ruin this for him too.
Harry took a shaking breath and began to dance.

Prompt: "The Last of Us", Episode 3: "Long, Long Time", 2023 Prompted by: @somethingveryodd (newskyillusion on ao3) Author: Anonymous Word Count: 39,547 words Rating: Explicit Warnings: Major Character Death, Suicide
Notes: I swore I would never write MCD while I was still sobbing in the aftermath of reading a certain gorgeous, unforgettable, soul-rending fic about a tea set. To my past self, I offer my deepest apologies. You must be so disappointed in me. But I hope you know that I did every possible wish-fulfilment about what happens after. To newskyillusion: I’ve never cried (sobbed, bawled, etc.) all over my keyboard while I was writing before. Thank you for your prompt, which has delivered me to heights of emotion that I have heretofore never dreamed of experiencing. It was kind of great! Finally, thanks to all of my brilliant, steadfast betas. Your comments give me life and food for future years.
Summary: Harry and Draco survive the apocalypse. This is what happens after.

Prompt: "All of Us Strangers", 2023, Andrew Haigh Prompted by: Anonymous Author: Anonymous Word Count: 5,324 words Rating: Explicit Warnings: Canonical Character Death
Notes: I went through some very difficult times while writing this and the mods were very kind to me. If you've seen the movie you probably know about the final scene but don't worry because that doesn't happen here. Also English isn't my first language, so I apologise in advance. Title is from a song by the same name by Djo. Many, many thanks to my beta and Brit-picker S and A. Hope you enjoy!
Summary: As Harry and Draco start developing a relationship, Harry finds himself drawn back to the Potter house in Godric's Hollow, where his parents appear to be living just as they were on the day they died.
Based on the movie All of Us Strangers (2023) though you don't have to have seen it to understand the fic.

Prompt: "The Queen’s Gambit", 2019, Scott Frank Written by: @sleepstxtic Narrated by: Anonymous Podfic Length: 01:05:00 Rating: Explicit Warnings: None
Notes: What I know about chess can fit on the head of a pin. But this was such a lovely and poetic fic that it didn't even matter. (I did have to look up a lot of pronunciations, but if I got any wrong, I apologize!) Thank you sleepstxtic for writing this beautiful story!
Summary: They were rivals, and they were lovers, and they were the greatest chess players of their generation. Exactly in that order.

Prompt: "Howl's Moving Castle", 2004, Hayao Miyazaki Prompted by: @Somethingveryodd (newskyillusion on ao3) Author: Anonymous Word Count: 52,775 words Rating: Teen and up Warnings: None
Notes: I'd like to just quickly thank some people before the fic starts: Firstly, thank you to the LCDrarry mods for organising this wonderful fest once again! The whole thing was amazingly organised and there wasn't a single thing anyone would dare complain about. It was an honour and a joy to be a part of this fest for the very first time! Secondly, thank you to my beta for helping me brainstorm and polish this uncut gem. Thirdly, thank you also to: A - for her contagious enthusiasm, N - for being an invaluable soundboard who always has my back, and finally, S - for helping me through a crisis of faith, for being ready to answer a call for arms no matter the hour, and for convincing me to sign up for the fest in the first place.
Summary: Harry Potter’s boring routine comes crumbling down when he takes the wrong shortcut at the wrong time; he almost ends up in a brawl, gets rescued by a handsome stranger, successfully escapes sentient tar, learns to walk on air and then becomes victim to a spiteful, petty and undeserved ageing curse - and all that within a single afternoon! Now transformed into an old man, Harry decides to run away in search of a way to reverse the spell, but the path is precarious and the journey long. As he's trying to make his way through magic and treachery, danger and deceit, it's becoming abundantly clear that something more is hidden behind petty magic - something deeper and more valuable and connected all too thoroughly to what may only be classified as love.

Prompt: "Killing Eve" (2018 - 2022) Prompted by: Soulmates Drarry Author: Anonymous Word Count: 30,670 words Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Violence, Blood and Injury, Assassinations, Killing Eve AU, Murder, Light Poisoning, Obsessive Behavior, Reference to past addiction issues, Presents
Notes: Thank you so much to O for helping me sort out the mess of ideas I had at the beginning and for cleaning up after me when I played it fast and loose with the English language!! You're the best, genuinely!! And thank you to S for the vibe/plot check!! One final thank you to the mods for being so supportive and encouraging. It's been the best first fest experience!! Now, onto the murder lol
Summary: Harry hated his job, his cousin, and his inability to figure out how to fit into the boring, depressing world around him. He kept his peace until Draco Malfoy turned out to not be dead like Harry thought he was. Deadly, though? Harry was going to figure that out.

15 May 2024 | LCDrarry Fic
Prompt: "The Proposal", 2009, Anne Fletcher Prompted by: Anonymous Author: Anonymous Word Count: 14,586 words Rating: Teen and up Warnings: None
Notes: It takes a village... Thank you dear Anonymous prompter. I tweaked a few things from your prompt to give it a bit of a fresh spin from other The Proposal AUs, and I hope you like it.
Special thanks to S, who kept me sane, encouraged me to keep going even when I was sick and read this for me in the 11th hour. And thank you to the LCD Discord and Mods for creating such a wonderful fest environment.
Warning: this fic is not accurate at all when it comes to the publishing industry or UK visa issues.
Summary: It’s hard being Draco Malfoy: workaholic publishing professional extraordinaire. Between revolutionizing the Wizarding World and fighting with Harry Potter, his chief of staff, it makes sense Draco forgot to check his mother filed some paperwork. Oops. Easy enough to avoid deportation by saying he’s engaged to said manager.
Too bad that plan involves visiting Ottery St Catchpole, a gaggle of redheads, and defrauding the government.
