T. Australia. Twenties. Ravenclaw. I really like words and colours and landscapes and cities and complex characters. Sometimes I write stuff on AO3. My old interests always seem to come back with a vengeance, so this blog is basically one constant throwback.

Draco/Harry | Rated E | 256k words | thecouchsofa

Fic Summary: Harry doesn’t know how to cope after the War. The only things that make him feel even remotely normal again are taking risks while flying and fighting with Malfoy. It’s not likely to end well.

Or

Draco becomes obsessed with ‘Wonderwall’, reads Muggle books, and drives a campervan, while Harry slowly falls in love with Draco. A story about travelling around the British Isles in the late 90s while healing deep scars.

Selected Tags: road trips, mental health issues (PTSD, depression, anxiety), dealing with trauma, slow burn, pining, Draco enjoying Muggle things, an unironic appreciation for Wonderwall by Oasis, enemies to friends to lovers, fluff, oh no there's only one bed, my self-indulgence on full display, a lover letter to the British Isles

A Walk in the Woods | Rated E | 48k words

thecouchsofa | Written for the @hpcottagecorefest 2023

Fic Summary: After ending up in the Spell Damage Ward at St Mungo’s, Harry is put on mandatory holiday leave.

The catch: he has to spend it with Malfoy at his cottage deep in the woods. Harry has no idea why Malfoy agreed to host him, considering he avoided ever being alone in a room with Harry before he left for his sabbatical a year ago.

To complicate things, Harry’s enormous longstanding crush hasn’t waned at all in Malfoy’s absence.

Getting to know you tag game

Shout out to @oflights for the tag! I love getting told random stuff about people, it's so interesting hearing little bits and pieces about someone's life. If anyone ever has any random crap they want to share e.g. what you ate on your sandwich at lunch or what your favourite flower is, chuck it in my inbox and I'll read it, ponder it, and remember it!

three ships: drarry, sterek (I will never leave the hell that is that ship), and destiel. I am a tumblr cliche. Also a shout out to my queer awakening ship, Torrance/Missy from Bring It On.

first ship: both embarrassed and not embarrassed to say that larry stylinson forcefully dragged thirteen year old me into fandom by my hair, locked me up, and threw away the key. If we're being unserious, it was my nine year old self x the character Fly from Help! I'm a Fish (does literally anyone on this planet aside from me remember this movie? I seriously doubt it)

last song: ballad of a homeschool girl - Olivia Rodrigo

last movie: Raw, a French horror film from 2016

currently reading: technically I'm reading Daisy Jones and the Six, but I haven't picked it up since March.

I'm actually reading Nor All That Glisters by @sweet-s0rr0w

currently watching: The Block Australia lmao (I would like to state for the record that I do not recommend this show to anybody, don't take this as an endorsement)

last thing I wrote: 4k yesterday of my Suds Fest fic

tagging @mallstars, @tackytigerfic,@basiatlu, @stationintern, and anyone else who wants to play along!

Til resentment do us part

For the @drarrymicrofic prompt 'Keep'.

Angst because all my WIPs are fluffy as shit.

Exactly 50 words.

Draco signs on the dotted line, the quill disappearing.

“It’s done,” he says. “Are you happy now?”

Harry stares at him, face shuttered. “I want my name back.”

Draco twists his ring around on his finger, wonders how much longer he’ll keep wearing it.

“It’s my name too,” he whispers.
