Tumblr media
OMG it’s already January! I’m so very late to this and I have seen so many wonderful lists, but I very much wanted to make my own, so I did. We are so lucky to be spoiled by so many incredible fics – here are some (in no particular order) that grabbed me by the heart and never let go.
💀 draco malfoy’s substitute murder service by @oknowkiss (Draco/Harry, E, 10k)
I HAVE. NO WORDS. In the best possible way. This fic has to be experienced first-hand. E is an insane genius. That’s it, that’s the rec.
🧑🏼‍🍳 Make This Leap by @oflights (Draco/Harry, M, 118k)
Competent Draco and disaster Harry my beloved! This fic is so sweet and lovely and I want to live in it forever.
📩 Per my last letter (I hope you choke on it) by @fluxweeed, @lastontheboat (Draco/Harry, T, 10k)
I laughed SO much reading this! It went straight into the bookmarks and I visit it every so often when I need a pick-me-up. And I swear I discover some new clever detail every time I do! Delightful, hilarious, perfect.
🐥 Robin’s Flufftober 2022 by @rockingrobin69 (Draco/Harry, M, 17,5k)
October was my favourite month because every day we got a dose of soft soft Robin sweetness - a moment of peace and safety every time her name popped on tumblr dashboard. I protect this collection in my bookmarks like the treasure it is.
❣️ Draco Malfory Absolutely Does Not Need to Be Loved by Harry Bloody Potter by @nv-md (Draco/Harry, E, 18k)
Draco’s voice in this fic! From the very first sentence (no, from the title!) I knew I was in the right hands. What a treat!
🛁 Rubber Drakey by @crazybutgood (Draco/Harry, T, comic)
This fic is an utter delight, creative and clever, adorable and laugh-out-loud funny. This is Draco in his cutest form!
🌞 Look For Me In the Sun by @wolfpants (Draco/Harry, M, 9k)
Obviously a wolfpants fic had to be on this list but which one? *points at the whole catalogue* There is no way to go wrong there, what a year they had! I think I have screamed most about Pages of you (the number of times AO3 tells me I visited that one is embarrassing), Romp and Circumstance, and The Hollow (yes these are links, what of it, no it’s not cheating), so I’m going mention another favourite: Look For Me In The Sun, gorgeously atmospheric, achy, stunningly written.
🦦 Kept in Cages by @sweet-s0rr0w and @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm (Draco/Harry, E, 77k)
This has got to be THE fic this year for me. It’s fitting, because last year it was Nor All That Glisters, which got me into the drarry fandom properly, so of course it’s Sweet who just casually swoops in with another banger that won’t leave my brain, accompanied by the most incredible Joy art. I think this fic had me already at the tags but I was not ready for everything there is to love about the story - it’s impossible to do it justice in just a few short sentences, but if you haven't read it yet, it should be on your list for sure.
💍 Paper Rings by @lettersbyelise (Draco/Harry, E, 50k)
OTP: inevitable. Two timelines, both so exquisitely delivered: eighth-year drarry and grown-up drarry, both times so different and wholesome. This story is everything I love: nuanced, funny, full of pining and history.
🌙 Take the Moon by @tackytigerfic (Draco/Harry, M, 15k)
This fic grabbed me and squeezed, and I don’t think I’ve been able to catch my breath since. I’m actually lost for words here because the story makes me feel so much but I haven’t been able to name it yet and maybe that’s okay. It’s the Tacky way of reaching deep down into my feelings and letting me sit with them.
🍋 Preserving Lemons by @saintgarbanzo and @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm (Draco/Harry, E, 17k)
I think this might be the only time I managed to guess the author when this was still anon (and, well. The genius artist too). Such intimacy and longing, gorgeous food and so many layers to the story.
🌼 He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not by @sleepstxtic (Draco/Harry, Draco/Astoria, T, 5k)
I know that the infidelity tag might put some people off, but this is a stunningly written (devastating) Astoria PoV that absolutely clawed at my heart in the best possible way.
🍎 The Wrong Sort by @vukovich (Draco/Harry, not rated)
This fic makes me want to scream even though Vuk came back with a second part that patched up my broken heart. “I didn’t know how else to keep it” will forever be etched into my eyelids. Thank you, Vuk.
🥂 Nights With You by @the-sinking-ship (Draco/Harry, E, WIP)
Technically, this counts because Sly started posting in Dec and I’m obsessed! Flirting! Banter! Oblivious Draco! *screams*

Gerec’s Favorite Fics - 2022
It's that time of year again = go read these lovely fics and ring in the New Year!!!
Reminded Me of Brighter Days by emperors_girl 
There on his welcome mat is a brown long-handled basket with a bundle of blankets inside. The basket gurgles at him. Then it begins to cry.
No Three-to-Five, You’re Doing Life by brawlingdiscontent
Charles gets revenge. The third and final installment (though it should also stand on its own). Charles and Erik take their kinky and dysfunctional sex life to an all new level. 
twilight by ikeracity, specficslut (homosociality)
"Volatility was a chemical property. Erik remembered Mrs. Berkowitz saying, with the rhythm of a chant, volatility was how likely a substance was to mist into air, and that was how he felt now, like he could dissolve into nothing at any moment, unless he fucked Charles so hard his eyes spun back in his head."
For someone who kills monsters for a living, Erik is irrationally conflicted about the monster in his bed.
Mr & Mr Eisenhardt by faerie_ground
Charles Haller and Erik Eisenhardt meet at a bar, fall in love, and get married. Neither of them know that the other is an assassin working for a rival agency- but they're about to find out real soon.
a traditional courtship by Helenish
Maybe it’s even a game between them; he catches Charles often enough, watching him, curious, bemused. He lets it go further than he would, otherwise.
i worry that love is violence by intentation (WIP)
Seven years ago, Erik Lehnsherr vanished from a college bar after a night out. The investigation into his disappearance was brief and inconclusive, and his file was eventually shelved as a cold case.
Seven years later, an MIS raid on the home of one Sebastian Shaw reveals the truth: Erik Lehnsherr had been kidnapped, imprisoned in a cellar, and kept as a sex slave for seven years.
Now, in the aftermath of Shaw's arrest, Erik is confronted with the cold reality of his freedom. His burgeoning relationship with MIS agent Charles Xavier may save him--or destroy them both.
Feeding the idea of you, leaving me starving by hllfire
Apocalypse won, and Charles Xavier's body and power is his to take over the world and build a new one from its ashes, but Erik isn't sure if Charles is completely gone or not.
What We Inherit by populuxe
Ever since David came to live with his father, their relationship has been polite but distant: his father is always working, and David still sort of thinks of him as Charles Xavier, The World’s Most Famous Telepath, a larger-than-life figure he first saw on television five years ago.
But when the grandmother David never knew existed calls and demands to meet her grandson, a harrowing weekend trip reveals how much he and his father don’t know about each other—and alters things between them in ways he never would have predicted.
Unlived Histories (The Double Vision Remix) by populuxe
When he was a boy, a man visited Erik and his mother and helped them escape before the war. Years later, Erik finally learns the man’s identity—but the truth is far more complicated than he ever could have imagined.
Erik’s Flawless Minivan (Terrible Hanukkah Sweaters and Other Life Challenges Remix) by winter_hiems
Erik has two main goals when it comes to his kids’ school: making other parents jealous with how smooth his car runs, and teaming up with Gabrielle Haller to yell at teachers for not respecting their kids’ mutant and Jewish identities.
And then Gabrielle’s ex comes to town. And he’s very attractive.
unconventional by ikeracity
Ten years ago, Charles and Erik co-starred on the explosively popular animated show Greenkeep, where they first earned their big breaks — and where they fell in love. Now, at a cast reunion a decade later, they've made careful, PR-vetted plans to reveal their relationship to the fans with minimal fuss.
Of course — easier said than done.
pale, then enkindled (The Don't Read the Retweets Remix) by midrashic
The animated kids' show that brought Charles and Erik together gets a live-action reboot.
On the CW.
some like it sweet by ikeracity
He's just your sugar daddy, Erik reminds himself every day. You can't be in love with him.
Erik's got it all figured out—a delightful roommate, regular sex, his textbooks paid for. Except for the way his heart goes haywire whenever his sugar daddy is around.
scandal of the century by joshriku
The headline reads:
STEAMY SEX TAPE BETWEEN MAGNETO AND PROFESSOR X LEAKED!
“All right,” Charles says. “I wouldn’t call it steamy, you know, that’s an exaggeration.”
“That is seriously not the point, Professor,” Jean answers.
(A sex tape is leaked. PR crisis ensues).
how near to fairyland by ikeracity for hllfire
Since childhood, Charles has kept all the things he can't let go of in a beautiful room in his head. Cuba brings his precarious balancing act crashing down.
to put the world between us by populuxe
Erik Lehnsherr is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood: fresh off an Academy Award nomination, he’s about to star in HBO’s most anticipated show of the year. And even though online chatter about his recent string of queer roles keeps getting louder, his personal life remains personal—just as it always has, and just as his manager and publicist continue to advise.
But when he winds up at the same wedding as his college best friend, Charles Xavier—and when they quickly fall into bed together—he’s forced to revisit the past he’s been trying to get away from for years. The pull between them has always been magnetic, but so has the weight of secrecy. Can they keep from repeating the same mistakes, or will the price of the truth be too high?

The Strings that Weave Us (2022, General, 1.9k) by @katie-alden
It was Andromeda who, on hearing that Harry planned to restore the Black family tapestry, insisted that the best tapestry thread could only be found in a tiny little shop in Hogsmeade. The same tiny little shop where Draco worked. Which is how Harry had found himself trying to make an appropriate amount of eye contact – look at his eyes, Harry, not his soft hair and just-right arms and the dimple in his left cheek and – as Draco explained how the thread worked.
Serendipity by @april-thelightfury115
Hurt/Comfort, divorced!grumpy!Harry lol. Thanks to thebooktopus for the speedy beta! Any mistakes are my own :)
how can i love what i know i’m gonna lose? (don’t make me choose) (2021, Teen, 8.2k) by @tigerlilycorinne-drarry-me
Harry's soulmark is his scar, but he doesn't know that. He thinks he has no soulmate. And Draco, who has Harry Potter's scar on the inside of his hip, is not planning on ever telling him. Ever. It would break him in two. But when Hogwarts institutes a Health Ed week where Draco is tasked with the topic of soulmates, he begins to think maybe Harry needs to know.
facedown on my bed (thinking of you) (2022, Mature, 10k) by @onbeinganangel
I am facedown on my bed Still not quite awake yet Thinking of you I tuck my hand under my weight Just tell me what you want to do Tell me what you want To burn away 'Cause I could be your stoker Stay Soft - Mitski
Sometimes the feelings you have for your enemy-turned-roommate-turned-bff are not as platonic as you think. Sometimes you're the last person to realise it.
First Week of Eternity (2022, Explicit, 7.8k) by InnerLilith, @hd-fangfest
Moving in with the colleague you’d like to fuck is a bad idea for anyone. It’s worse when you’re a card-carrying member of the eternal dead. It’s exponentially worse when your already garlic-obsessed colleague-slash-crush-slash-roommate has recently discovered his distant Italian heritage. In which Draco tries desperately to hide that he’s recently become a vampire, and Harry tries desperately to feed him.
Glowing (2022, Teen, 9.7k) by @cavendishbutterfly, @hd-fangfest
Harry's lived alone and vampiric in his cottage for ages, until a long-lived Draco Malfoy suddenly shows up to answer an advertisement Harry had practically forgotten he'd put in the Prophet. Cue soft blood drinking, quiet nights of reading and crocheting, and Harry thinking that maybe--just maybe--he might not be so alone anymore.
What You’ve Come For (2022, Explicit, 1.3k) by @nv-md, @hd-fangfest
It doesn't matter that Draco's a bloodthirsty vampire, Harry can't stay away from him, and they come together night after night in the Astronomy Tower.
The Ministry Olympics (2015, Teen, 10.1k) by playout
Harry is fed up with losing to Malfoy in the Ministry Olympics, but this year he has a plan. (Or, If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.)
rumour has it (2022, Explicit, 8.5k) by @epsilonargus
Slytherin King Draco Malfoy overhears the wrong conversation, and discovers court wizard Harry Potter is to be engaged to Ginny Weasley. That's fine, he's not devastated or anything—he would survive this. He has always known after all, that he must love the prat in secret.
Holding Back the Fire (2018, Explicit, 9.3k) by @goldentruth813
Harry’s always hated praise, so he doesn’t understand why the idea of it coming from Draco makes him want it in ways he’s never wanted anything before.
when you see me (will you say i’ve changed) (2021, Teen, 12.8k) by @tigerlilycorinne-drarry-me
If there’s one thing Harry thought he’d never see, it’s Pansy Parkinson standing over him, shaking him awake at three AM. Draco goes back in time to convince himself not to become a Death Eater. Pansy must enlist Harry Potter to go back after him and convince him not to before he fucks up the fabric of time, because he has “emotional sway.” Harry has no idea what she’s talking about.
Where I see things right (2022, Explicit, 15.2k) by InnerLilith
When Harry finds himself unexpectedly pregnant after a one-off with Draco Malfoy, he knows he isn’t keeping it. But when actually getting the abortion turns out to be more complicated than Harry expected, he finds himself turning to Malfoy for help through the process. And that’s actually much less complicated than Harry expected.
Let Me Count the Ways (2022, Explicit, 3.5k) by @thebooktopus
Intimacy comes in many forms. Draco wants to explore them all with Harry.

2022 Favorite Manga
It was generally an odd year for me in terms of reading manga. For several months I just had no desire to read anything. I’m sure it was due to depression (2022 started off...rough). I got a second wind around October so most of these I actually read just in the past three months.

sorry this is late 😭 irl has been busy busy as usual - may felt so so long but also how is it already june 😭 i haven't really had time to take a breath and deeply appreciate everything that's been coming out but for sure my reading list has gotten so much longer and my eyes have been blessed with such beautiful art from all of the amazing recs and fests going on and i am just so grateful for this fandom !!

Talk Sense to a Fool, and He Calls you Foolish by @written-in-ash
Another Greek God AU, woohoo! Written for @drarrymicrofic prompt: Fool
Microfic: Friends by @drarrily-we-row-along
400 words written for the @drarrymicrofic prompt: friends.
Teeth (2020, Explicit, 5.9k) by @amelior8or
Potter’s been practically begging for it, for months, constantly staring until the air crackles with the intensity of it. Draco always stares back, until all it takes is a brush, a spark, before they go up like flash paper. The crash into each other is inevitable. Draco’s heart has got teeth. And there is nothing he won’t do to keep up the fight with Harry fucking Potter.
golden rim, slightly chipped by @rockingrobin69
Dear Anon, these are weird times, and your message meant so much to me that I somehow managed to delete it. I have no idea how to thank you other than reposting this - 700 words, extending on today’s domaystic drabble, very much for you. sorry love you sorry THANK YOU
Sweden | A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2020, E, 5.5k) by @drarrelie
With the war finally over, you’d think Harry would finally be granted that “normal life” he’s always dreamt about. Finally free from the Dursleys, from that nose-less megalomaniac, from Horcruxes, Hollows, Death Eaters, Dementors, Prophecies… you’d think that he, for the first time in his life, would be allowed to be just a normal teenager. You’d think he’d deserve that much, right? But then you haven’t considered Luna Lovegood. Luna, who has the most whimsical ideas that no one ever takes seriously. Luna, who apparently has Swedish heritage and knows about some strange Summer Solstice ritual that she wants to perform. Luna, who’s so sweet and kind that you can’t help but humour her when she offers you some distraction from your post-war confusion. Harry knows he should’ve known better, knows he shouldn’t have let her persuade him to go through with it. But he did. And now, Harry’s life will probably never be normal again.
Scotland | I’m Terrified, But the Truth is This… (2020, T, 7.3k) by @jessica-doom
Okay, so…Draco Malfoy has a thing for Harry Potter. Honestly, how could he not? When Harry invites him to be his "date" to his friends' wedding, Draco goes all-in on a soul-bearing display of his real feelings for the man. Once it becomes obvious that he misinterpreted Harry's intentions, Draco begins to feel like all hope has been lost on his Chosen One ever returning those feelings. Through the magic of the Summer Solstice (and perhaps a bit too much wine), he finally finds the courage to take his shot.

In Flight (2022, Gen, 4.8k) by Jen_814
“I could murder you,” Draco said conversationally, “I could willingly slit your throat about now, you know that right?” “You’ve been threatening to murder me for years,” reflected Harry. “Bit of an all talk, no trousers kind of a situation, isn’t it?” -- After some accidental magic (not completely Harry's fault), Harry & Draco are stuck together, thirteen hours in the past.
The High Priestess by @onbeinganangel (part of their Tarot Card Drabbles)

What’s New, Buenos Aires? (2013, E, 9.3k) by @kedavranox
Draco and Harry are in the Portkey business! Hijinks ensue, Draco has a few panic attacks, Harry is seriously fit, and somehow they're stranded in Argentina.

2022 favorites, part 3
see previous parts
BOOKS
1. The three body problem, by Cixin Liu
Tumblr media
The first book in a trilogy, this is a hard sci-fi. The story ties to the history of China in the 20th century as well as the Cold War, as well as concepts of astrophysics, while creating an impending sense of dread to tell its story. Are we alone in the universe? And if we are not, should we really want to know?
2. Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir
Tumblr media
Another sci-fi book, this one dealing also with aliens... Except in a very different way. The story slowly unfolds as out main protagonist and narrator starts remembering it. It's funny, endearing and also (surprisingly) very, very cute. There are talks of a movie adaptation and for once, I'm very excited about that prospect.
3. Acts of desperation, by Megan Nolan
Tumblr media
I think this is the hardest to digest book I've ever read. As we follow the innermost thoughts of our nameless narrator/protagonist, she tells a story of pure desperation following a toxic relationship. The book deals with depression, harassement, sexual assault, abuse, drug use, alcoholism, self harm and eating disorders, among others. Truly devastating, bleak readread that shows some of the nastiest things in human nature.
4. No longer human, by Osamu Dazai
Tumblr media
Another bleak reading, this one is very short --but that doesn't make it any less heavy. One of the most depressing books you will find out there, it also deals with the internal turnmoil of it's titular character. I love the Spanish title for this book, which translates to "unworthy of being human". And that really is what this is about. It also deals with themes of suicide, alcoholism and sexual abuse. It hits different when knowing it's partly autobiographical.
5. Pachinko, by Min Jin Lee
Tumblr media
Mind you, I have a sense this book is very Christian. After all the main characters in the story are Christian. Here we have an intergenerational story presented in a simple, almost biographical style, following a Korean family that inmigrates to Japan during the colonial era. Through the central character Sunja, we follow the complex history of 20th century Korea and the trials and tribulations of the inmigrant experience, love, loss, trauma, acceptance and, perhaps, success.
6. Dictator, by Robert Harris
Tumblr media
This is the third and final book in Robert Harris' Cicero trilogy which, as the name suggests, follows the life of Roman orator and politician Cicero. Here we see his final years coupled with Caesar's ascension to power and downfall. It was a good closure to an otherwise very good trilogy.
Special mentions: Perfume (Patrick Suskind), Love in the times of cholera (Gabriel Garcia Marquez), Circe (Madeline Miller), Evidence of the affair (Taylor Jenkins Reid).
