Dronarry Fest Recs
Slowly catching up with the Dronarry Fest as I try to find my way back into reading, I thought it would be fun to share my favourite reads so far. Anyone else reading along as it posts? I’d love to hear your thoughts and recs, let’s spread the love for these gems! You can find the full fest collection HERE.
💐 Nightswimming by @sweet-s0rr0w (M, 5k)
Weasley flicks the light on. “I got off with a guy once, you know,” he says, casually, holding the torch up between his gloved fingers. “What?” says Draco, glancing over sharply. “No, you didn’t.” “I did,” Weasley insists, and there’s an air of mischief about him now. “Just after the divorce.”
Draco tightens his grip on the steering wheel and wills his eyes to stay on the road, a dozen different scenarios playing out vivid in his mind. “But Harry’s never—” “Yeah, well.” Weasley clicks the torch back off. “Turns out Harry and I don’t share everything, after all.”
🪩 Hear Me Out by @rainstormradish (E, 5k)
“I know this is all just a big joke to you,” whispered Draco, his lips inches from Ron’s ear, his breath on his neck, his hips pressed against him, Merlin, “but I need you to fucking commit to the bit here, Ron.”
♟️ Borrowed Time by @the-starryknight (E, 7k)
Harry woke in someone else's bed, sleeping beside someone else's lover. Leaning in is the worst possible solution, right?
❄️ Snowdrift by @wolfpants (E, 8k)
London is drowning in snow, and Draco and Ron get more than they bargain for when they comfort Harry after - another - bad break up.
🥓 Dick Chicken by @oknowkiss (E, 15k)
This is a story about nothing.
🕰️ Permanent by @citrusses (M, 14k)
"Harry's always been fixated on older men. Have you ever noticed that, Ron?” Granger asks. “Have I ever noticed—Hermione, we’ve lived with the bloke for years! He doesn’t bring them home much, but I’m not blind. I see who he’s shagging.”
“And David, an older man, tells Harry ‘Saviour Complex’ Potter he needs him to save the world?” “He didn’t stand a chance,” Ron agrees. “Fascinating,” Draco says, in a strangled voice.
💦 Some Nights by @thecouchsofa (E, 23k)
Ron fucks up his Silencing Charms in the dorm one night. Then Malfoy does. The rest, as they say, is history.

what i've read lately
Read some real bangers recently, go show these some love.
A New Form of Sight by cherrybirch (8k, T)
This is for the @hp-bardfest and it's so good!! The iambic pentameter is so well done, and the formatting!? THE FORMATTING. I was blown away. It's about McGonagall and Trelaweny having a bit too much sherry, and a few prophecies that need explanations. Get thee to AO3 and read! (Also if anyone knows if cherrybirch on Tumblr can you please tag them?)
What's Mine is Yours by @fluxweeed (17k, E)
Harry wakes up with a vagina in place of his dick, and only one person can help him switch it back. (Hint: It's Draco.) Both of them are schemers in this, and it's sexy and funny. Love.
Welcome, Peasants by @fluxweeed (15.4k, E)
This year's @dronarryfest is on fire. Harry and Draco are roommates, and Ron is a little left out. When the possibility of kissing maybe one or both of them comes up, he takes it. Lots of scheming by all three of them, hilarious characterizations, and ultimately very, very sweet.
Return to Sender: Harry J. Potter (2.5k, E) & Congrats on Your Loss, DLM (4.5k, E) by @vukovich
Ok. OK. These hurt. They do. But I finished them and then went back and immediately read both again. The first is told from Harry's point of view and the second is from Draco's. All the hurt. Some fascinating (slight) comfort. Thought provoking! Read the tags but also maybe ignore them like I did and get sucked into an amazing set of stories.

yes I agree that you’re implicitly required to rec a fic you’re involved in which is why it HURTS WHEN PEOPLE DONT like oof. you said yes to work on it but then you didn’t like it that much hey. obviously I’d rather that than people rec something they don’t actually like, I’m not saying it should be disingenuous, it just hurts you know? ouch
nahhh i don't think ppl should feel obligated to do marketing for a fic they've already put time and energy into helping the writer with!

Ron fucks up his Silencing Charms in the dorms one night. Then Malfoy does. The rest, as they say, is history.
💭 Came for the filth stayed for the feels. And the filth. Scorching hot, funny as fuck, got me curling my toes so hard my whole leg cramped. - emsuemsu
💭 This is so incredibly perfect, like the smut is perfect but Harry’s cluelessness and excitement is amazing and Ron just rolling with the punches…needless to say I’ve already read it more than once - marebear723
[FIC] Hear Me Out || E || 5k || by @rainstormradish
“I know this is all just a big joke to you,” whispered Draco, his lips inches from Ron’s ear, his breath on his neck, his hips pressed against him, Merlin, “but I need you to fucking commit to the bit here, Ron.”
💭 I am burning UP. i love how distinct each of their characters are. And the tension???? God, they’re all so sexy. - lostinyourcostellation
💭 Scorching hot! Absolutely love this premise & the way you carried it out here felt sooo good. Wonderfully done :) - thestarryknight
[ART] Signing The Forever Bond || G || by @digthewriter
No fanfare adorned their sacred moment, no gaze of a world eager to witness, for they sought not the spotlight's glow but rather the quiet dance of shared hearts. And some paperwork.
💭 I adore long hair Dronarry! What beautiful patterns and color, and I love their comfortable closeness and contentment. adore long hair Dronarry! What beautiful patterns and color, and I love their comfortable closeness and contentment. -schmem_14
💭 This is so gorgeous! I'm obsessed with ALL the details. Bearded Draco! There isn't enough Bearded!Draco content, honestly. - sleepstxtic

💭 I love this so much. I can't wait to reread it. What a gorgeous fucking fic with beautiful, agonising detail and introspection. - TheGoblinMatriarch
💭 Omg I don’t want to be that person BUT I COULD READ 300K OF THIS it was brilliant! - Moonflower_Rose
[FIC] These Foolish Little Games || E || 8.5k || by @schmem14
Thanks to a falling out between Harry and Ron, Draco can finally get together with Harry, have the most spectacular and inappropriate office sex, and enjoy Weasley-free weekends out. Life is perfect.
So why does he have the nagging feeling he should get the estranged best friends to patch things up?
💭 Incredibly steamy, love the setup of a Ron/Harry fight and Draco’s scheming ❤️❤️❤️❤️ - citrusses
💭 yesssss - i am always here for the under the desk shenanigans. Lol at how easily they convinced Ron. There was no hope for him 😂 - MaesterChill
[FIC] Edging into His Heart || E || 5k || by @chelsiewhitlock & diplobeanz
Stuck on a long stakeout, Draco has reached the end of his patience with Ron Weasley's rule. In an effort to make the best of the situation, he decides to push the boundaries and past the edge of propriety. Shenanigans ensue.
💭 THIS is the Draco Ron dynamic I’m here for 😍 this story was fucking hot, and that tantric spell thingy oh, my… 🥵 - schmem_14
💭 wowww the dynamics you have going on here!!! 100/10 will be thinking about forever. - fluxweed
[FIC] People Are Boring || E || 14.3k || by @starquestingfordrarry
“Alright, what’s your terrible news?”
Draco braces himself on Harry’s desk. “Weasley’s hot.”
“You’ll have to be more specific, there are a lot of hot Weasleys.”
Draco makes a strangled, groaning sound in his throat. “The Weasley. Weasel. Weasel-by. Your Weasley.”
Harry’s heart jumps to his throat, and his stomach drops to his shoes. “Ron’s back?”
💭 THAT.WAS. DMCJSKDKCJDH. I was excited, my heart ached at one point, I cried, then screeched, this really did have it all 🔥 - Jaqie
💭 So softly angsty then so tender then so sexy. This dynamic just works beautifully, and your Ron is 🔥🔥🔥 - gr8k8

Draco portrait sketch - snakes are always heavier than they seem in my opinion. Having one draped around your neck and shoulders is much more present, harder to ignore, than you’d think.

too sleepy to elaborate at this time but I miss the old fandom culture of interacting with fanfic writers and fanfic artists as members of the fandom community who enjoyed engagement and discussion and feedback instead of the modern trend of seeing us as content creators up on a pedestal who don't need positive feedback but DO need to churn out constant content to feed the a03 machine

Reblog and put your rare pair in the tags/comments! I want to see the depths people will go to create, for the most random two characters in the most obscure media.
