Contrary to his reputation, he wasn't usually volcanic, not when murmured, raspy, arsenic-laced insinuations could do twice the harm of a temper tantrum. He was already a master of burning his initials into Harry's heart with verbal acid. (Kind of a turn-on in itself, actually, but only because Harry was old enough now to hear the broken undertones and heady, dark hunger coating each word.)

Rec because - Because Snape can get it. From Harry. Also maaaybe Hermione.

"Hermione shivered," Harry said. "I swear. I saw her. She liked it."

Word Count - 1900 words

Rating - E

Pairing - Snarry

Author - @perverse-idyll

2022/2023 has been like reward years for Snape fans because we have been getting insanely good fics. Including some insanely brilliant fics from PI. Some of them definitely had weird aftereffects. Like I am seeing Snamione now. PI's fault.

This fic is hot, hot and also hot. On top of that they are totally whacky and traumatizing everybody. Which is a Snarry thing to do. It's brilliantly characterized which just adds another layer to the hotness and their chemistry is insane. It's got the usual amazing PI vibe of a really sensitive exploration of Snarry trust issues, intense/complicated dynamics and general Snape Issues. Snape is the Issue of course and Harry is totally into that :D

Sometimes all Severus had to do was turn thirty-plus years of repressed hunger upon him, and Harry would start shaking.

Rec note - this is in Warm Universe which just adds 100x to my love for it because Warm is hot, sexy, sweet, as sweet as PI Snsarry gets :D Also incredibly hot/scorching Snarry PWP with The Ultimate Snarry Kink for me.

Tai recs: July readings

Hear, hear. June was a month used to finish writing my pansmione fic for the amazing @hpwlwbigbang. BUT JULY, oh my, July has been a marvel! I spent half of the month on vacations with my family and engaged in beach readings that soothed me deeply. And then, my family left and I felt lonely and empty. As always, I spent the last 2 weeks stress reading in order to not feel the sadness.

I'm bloody thankful to the wonderful writers and podficcers who made this adaption to loneliness a easier proccess. Your stories and voices made me the most wonderful company I could ask for. And the level of creativity and skill in all the fics I'm adding to this list was so high and so marvellous, that I'm a bit speechless. I honestly have no idea how to put together a coherent sentence to explain how incredible the stories I'm listing here are. They completely enchanted me, and made me love, laugh, cry and enjoy my lonely time with so much gratitude.

Thanks so much, dear authors and narrators, you are bloody perfect and you made me so much company this month!

DRARRY

In the Bleak Midwinter (E, 105k) by @the-fools-errand

After serving in the border wars for the ever-expanding dominion of Lord Voldemort, Draco and his cousins have returned to Hogsmeade to resurrect the old Black Family name in crime. But when a shipment of wands bound for the front lines falls into their possession, they find themselves at the centre of an investigation backed by the Dark Lord himself. Draco’s ambitions lie far beyond the borders of Hogsmeade, however, and he won’t let anything get in his way – except maybe a bespectacled newcomer to town, who knows more about the missing wands than he’s letting on.

You Look the Way I feel (E, 108k) by @yourdifferentoctober

Draco returns for his eighth year at Hogwarts in an attempt to salvage whatever he can of his future. His plan: sit as many N.E.W.T.s as possible, distance himself from the Malfoy name, and keep out of trouble. Of course, with his father on trial and at risk of unthinkable punishment, not to mention the anxiety-fueled "episodes" that have been plaguing him since summer, the school year doesn't go so smoothly. Especially when Harry Potter keeps seeking him out.

I Won't Let You Fall Apart by anonymous @hd-wireless (M, 49k)

Harry has spent the year after the war staying out of the public eye, dodging political battles, and standing firm against pressure from his friends. But he has a secret plan to get away from it all. He just needs to testify at one more Death Eater trial: Draco Malfoy’s. Little does Harry know what his act of compassion will cost him—and Malfoy.

Star Quality by who_la_hoop (E, 118k)

Two years after the war, and Harry’s content with his life. OK, so it’s a little annoying that he keeps winning Witch Weekly’s Most Eligible Bachelor award, and he’s really not looking forward to the unveiling of an enormous gold statue of himself, but he loves his friends, and he loves being an Auror. And if he yearns for something more, something he can barely bring himself to think about, well, he’ll probably get over it. No one’s happy all the time, are they? But then everything changes, and Harry’s thrown into a new and dazzling world he’s not sure he can actually escape from. And as time goes on, he starts to wonder: does he actually want to?

My Big Fat Weasley Wedding (E, 65k) by @slyth-princess

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?

Two to Lie and One to Listen (E, 84k) by @fluxweeed

It’s weird when Hermione announces that she and Ron have broken up. It’s weirder when this is followed by the revelation that she’s already moved on—and the new object of her affections is Draco Malfoy. Things only get worse from there.

Vis-à-Vis-à-Vis (E, 50k) by @vukovich

Harry's assignment was simple. Close out Draco Malfoy's missing persons case so he can be declared dead. But who's making withdrawals from Malfoy's vaults? How is a death omen-turned-Unspeakable involved? Is an organization known as the Moirai to blame? Harry brushes it off until he can't. Until The Prophet is flooded with sightings of dead people. Until Robards throws himself on his sword. Until Ron turns on his own family. Until Harry scarcely trusts his own reflection in the mirror and trusts the stranger in his bed even less. Until all that stands between war and peace is Harry, a name plate, a stadium of murderers, and Draco Malfoy. God save the Ministry.

The Kisses Don't Count, If No One Else Knows (E, 41k) by oldenuf2nb

Minister for Magic Harry Potter does not love his job. The one bright point in his life is his secret relationship with Quidditch Super Star Draco Malfoy. When they're 'outed' by a peeping tom with a camera, Harry has to decide what's really important.

Draco Malfoy and the Crupnapper (E, 35) by oakstone730

Life as a night shift creature keeper is scarcely the life Draco once imagined for himself, but ten years after the death of Voldemort he’s accepted his fate. Until the day Harry Potter forces his way back into Draco’s world and everything turns upside down.

Plausible Deniability (T, 10k) by Bearixt

“Harry, being released to you is simply an opportunity that arose from this—one that I will grab while I can. You call the shots; I just give my expert advice. You want to catch this copycat, don’t you?” “One Draco Malfoy in this world is already enough,” Harry mutters. Staring straight at him, he crosses his arms. “That’s it? No tricks, no hidden agendas?” Draco raises his hands. “You’re right. Christmas and New Year were boring, and I can’t imagine celebrating my birthday here when I can be out partying.” “I won’t let you out just so you can have fun, Malfoy. You’re a criminal.”

We can be Pirates (M, MCD, 265w) by @erajakira

What is it like to lose the war... Or Draco's delirious ramblings at the very end.

[Podfic] Sealed With a Kiss by Faithwood, narrated by Jocunda Sykes (E, 5h)

Harry Potter will fall in love with the first person who kisses him. Draco knows what he must do.

[Podfic] The Crane Lord of Gringots by @vukovich , narrated by Anonymous @hd-wireless (E, 4h)

Harry is fine. Being an Auror is fine. Living with Ginny is fine. It's all fine. But it used to be a lot better.

[Podfic] Thirst by @fluxweeed narrated by @lastontheboat (E, 31min)

The path of Malfoy’s scent is obvious; Harry hasn’t fed for days, so his senses are sharp. Deadly. And Malfoy smells so good.

[Podfic Series of pir8fancier's Lettered universe]:

Part One: Lettered narrated by Jocunda Sykes (E, 49min)

Harry has a secret penpal, whose identity is as plain as the nose on his face. Except he's not wearing his glasses.

Part Two: Lush Life narrated by Jocunda Sykes, Jet_pods, kittona, LenaReads, Ravin_Pods, UnholyCrowle, bluedreaming (E, 2h13min)

Draco is now the editor of a gay men's porn magazine and living in NY. His self-imposed exile from England is about to end.

Part Three: Home Again, Home Again (E, 2h30min)

Snarry Pods

[Podfic] Marks by florahart, narrated by Jocunda Sykes (G, 30min)

Harry's a computer science student, but he needs a writing credit to qualify for an internship. All the writing classes are full, so he ends up in Snape's lit class as a substitute. Snape has a reputation as a hardass, but it can be said that no one passes his class without learning to write, so that meets the requirement, and then, once Harry starts working on that, it turns out they have something else in common.

[Podfic] Aftermath by Avioleta, narrated by Jocunda Sykes (E, underage, 2h)

They’ve always been connected. After all, there’s too much history, too much magic between them. And while Severus never expected to survive the war, now that he’s alive, he thinks it makes some sort of strange sense that he’d be here with Harry Potter.

[Podfic] Final Examination by asecretchord, narrated by Jocunda Sykes (Not Rated, 2h)

"Is this some sort of test?" "Everything that doesn't kill you is." "Mind you," he added, "surviving doesn't always mean you passed." ― Michelle Sagara West

[Podfic] Miles to Go Before I Sleep by pluperfectsunrise, narrated by Jocunda Sykes (M, 1h)

For fourteen years after the war, Harry Potter and Severus Snape dance once a year on the winter solstice at a Ministry ball.

[Podfic] Witing to Divide by orphan_account, narrated by Jocunda Sykes (E, 2h)

Harry always thought soulmates were the domain of overly soppy romantics. What he didn't realise was that they were very real, very dangerous and very inconvenient... especially when your soulmate is the very dead Severus Snape. Fortunately, with the help of his friends and a Time Portal, he's able to get past that pesky obstacle... and finds his life completely changed.

Bonus: Pasmione micro

Fondness (T, 580w) by @erajakira

"It's a crush. Pansy knows it’s not anything deeper than that. It’s not passionate or consuming, it’s not guttural or necessary; it’s not even remotely sexual in any way."

I have no clue how I managed to read and listen to so many stories. lol Happy readings! Thanks again to my dearest creators!

Previous lists: March | April | May

31st chapter has been posted! Here's a little preview:

31. Will you catch me if I fall?

And this is how it feels When I ignore the words you spoke to me And this is where I lose myself When I keep running away from you*

"What a bastard! I knew that he would make you pay, but it's just too much!" Ron said fervently, after Harry had told him and Hermione, that Snape had punished him by making him drink some disgusting potion that made his throat sore. And because of that, he now had trouble speaking.

"Harry, I think you should..." Hermione began.

"I know, go to a teacher and tell them everything," he interrupted her wearily. The girl blushed. "No, Hermione, I won't give him the satisfaction. He won't break me. I'll handle him myself, I'm not a loser." He had to admit that his lies were getting better and better.

"Harry is right," Ron interjected, supporting his friend. "Snape is just a big jerk. If we start running around and complaining, he'll feel like he has won. And I'd rather choke on a pudding, than allow him to think that!"

"You're both insane!" the girl snorted and jumped up from her place. "I'm going to study," she said proudly, and walked away.

Ron looked at Harry and shook his head.

"But it's Friday. Does she need to study even on Fridays?"

The boy shrugged, looking around the Common Room. For some time, he was trying to spot Ginny, but to his annoyance, she wasn't there. Dinner was about to start, and he needed her help to have an alibi for when he'd be sitting at Snape's place.

Severus wanted Harry to come to him today. Until now they'd only been seeing each other during detentions, but this time, Severus himself had invited him to his chambers. This thought made the boy feel a strange warmth in his stomach.

There she was!

Harry jumped up off the couch, seeing Ginny walk down the stairs. Despite the surprised look he got from Ron, he went up to her and nervously asked for a moment in private. Several of her companions looked at each other with unambiguous smiles and moved ahead.

"What is it, Harry?" the girl asked, as they stopped at a secluded spot nearby.

Harry felt Ron's suspicious gaze on his neck, but he had no choice.

"I'd like to ask you a favor," he whispered.

"What happened to your voice?" She asked, surprised.

"Uh...It's a long story," Harry replied, waving a hand dismissively. He quickly explained his plan to her, and she gladly agreed to help him.

During the whole evening, Ron was watching him suspiciously, but fortunately, didn't ask any questions. At least for now.

At dinner, Harry swallowed almost nothing. His throat was burning horribly and he had the impression, that it had been cut by swords. When his friends reached the common room, he immediately went to the dormitory. He dived in the trunk and pulled out the same black pants which he had worn to Snape's birthday, and the warm, snowy-white sweater he had bought in Hogsmeade during a recent visit. After all, Snape finally invited him. He couldn't go as a ragamuffin.

Harry quickly dressed himself, put his Invisibility Cloak into the pocket and ran down to Ginny, who was waiting for him.

"Harry, you look..." she began.

"...so different," Hermione finished, appearing beside her. "I've never seen you this..."

"...stunning," ended the red-haired girl, smiling with delight.

"Uh..." he mumbled, blushing.

"You are going somewhere together?" Ron suddenly emerged from behind their backs, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.

"And why do you care?" Ginny spat as she grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him forward. The redheaded boy opened his mouth to speak, but Hermione grabbed his arm and pulled him the other way.

When Harry and Ginny found themselves in the hall again, they smiled at each other with relief.

"Well, it worked. Now you can meet with your mysterious chosen one," she winked at him. Harry grinned.

"Thank you. We'll meet here again before ten o'clock.."

"Thank you. You helped me escape, too. Ron won't be as agitated if he thinks that I'm with you. Well, see you," she waved and disappeared in the corridor leading to the west tower, which belonged to Ravenclaw.

Harry looked around carefully, then threw the cloak on himself and slipped into the dungeons. Quickly, he crossed the office and before he knocked on the door of Snape's private chambers, he took off his cloak and straightened his hair. However, this only caused the strands to stick out even more.

When he entered the room, Severus was sitting in his chair, staring into the fire. He wasn't working on anything, neither was he reading. Just... waiting.

"For me," the boy realized, and he felt a warm current inside.

23 Fic Recs 2023!

This year has definitely been a year. I've devoured so many wonderful fics by so many amazing authors. Thank you @hprecfest for the super fun rec categories and for some fic inspiration! Here are 23 fics that I read and loved in 2023 (although some are quite a few years older) ordered by ship.

🌼 - fluff | 💔 - angst | 🔥 - smut

—

💫 DRARRY 💫

1. A post-canon fic

The Discreet Gentleman's Connection by pluto (gayrights420) [Drarry, E, 80.4k] 🌼🔥 I had the absolute pleasure of beta-ing for this fic, so when I say it is amazing, it truly is just that. Fast burn on the smut via Floo sex, slow burn on the in-person falling in love. Satisfying in all the best possible ways.

2. A fic that made me laugh

AITA for being "obsessed" with my childhood nemesis? by @rainstormradish [Drarry, M, 4.3k] 🌼📲 Draco on a reddit forum is hilarious just on its own, but the banter and formatting really bring this fic to life. Amazingly creative, had me in stitches!

3. A comfort fic

The Eighth Tale by @letteredlettered [Drarry, E, 12.0k] 💔⏳ An oldie but a goodie. I constantly find myself coming back to this fic and having my mind blown every single time. Time travel timey-wimey angst.

4. A fic with art

Dating Draco - A Visual Game by @itsphantasmagoria [Drarry, M, Video Game] 🌼🎮 This is a fic in video game form!! Amazing art and lovely story where YOU get to make the choices for Drarry's happily ever after.

5. A favorite series

The Journal of Dreadful Things by @lilbeanz [Drarry, G, 112k, WIP] 🌼📖 Hilarious, witty, AND COMES WITH ART!! Lilbeanz draws and writes a wonderfully delightful series starting from Draco's First Year. His characterization had me in hysterics. Book 4 is starting soon!

—

💫 COMMON SHIPS 💫

6. Fic with the hottest smut

Moonstruck by @prettyremus [Wolfstar, E, 3.8k] 🔥🐺 Found this gem while scrolling through the werewolf smut tag (don't judge me). I love the switch in dynamic with Sirius taming Remus's wolf through, ahem, rough sex.

7. An unreliable narrator fic

Sea of White by @dividawrites [Harrymort, E, 8.6k] 🔥🤍 Deliciously hot, creepy, and strangely sweet. Love their dynamic here, the unrestrained lust. Harrymort "die" and lose their memories, so, of course, then they bang.

8. A fic that made me cry

Far Apart, Far Away by @unmistakablyoatmeal [Hinny, minor Drarry, T, 1.6k] 💔💍 Infidelity angst has never been this good. I love the layers of emotion in this fic. Quick punchy sections that really pulled me in.

9. A Muggle(?) AU fic

Pleasant Hope by @ac1d6urn, @sinick [Snarry, E, 41.6k] 💔⛪️ Pastor Severus!! The angst, pining, and self-discovery in this fic is superb! I love the interwoven magic and detailed world-building of this little town.

—

💫 RARE PAIRS 💫

10. A fav amongst faves

The Last Trial of Peter Pettigrew by @sleepstxtic [Prongstail, M, 20.8k] 💔 🐀 Holy moly, this fic!!!! Is this my new favorite fic?? Possibly. The concept is brilliant, so creative and nuanced. The Peter character study using outsider perspectives is genius. Seamlessly balances canon and new scenes.

11. A pre-canon fic

Careless by @tax-onomic [Luther, E, 1.5k] 🔥🪞 Lucius/Arthur my beloved rare pair!! I am captain of the Luther ship, and Tax's fic hits all the right spots. The pining, the sniping, the prickly personalities with emotional vulnerability underneath! And all in the middle of a hot smut scene. Perfect.

12. A canon-compliant fic

Scottish by thepadfoots [Chedric, G, 749] 💔🌟 Lovely Cho character study focused around her Asian identity and the boy she loved.

13. A fic rated G (more like T though)

Lion-Hearted Girl by MinnieQuill (odainath) [Minmione, G, 4.5k] 💔🦁 I know the large age gap might scare some, but their relationship feels very organic in this fic. The setting is grim, but there is always hope in the darkness!

14. A fic rated T

You're So Vane by @patriceavril [Romelina, T, 6.8k] 🌼💄Romilda is so delightfully characterized, I was smiling through the entire fic. Angelina is the perfect foil (and love interest) to Romilda's attentions.

15. A rare pair fic (less than 2000 fics on AO3)

Snakeskin by @cntrl15 [Bellastoria, E, 3.7k] 🔥👠 Talk about a rare pair! Astoria/Bellatrix only has 2 tagged fics on AO3: this fic and the drabble I wrote based on it. But read this fic, and you'll see why I felt the need to write more in this universe.

16. A fest fic

Master of None by @nanneramma [Snormac, G, 5.5k] 🌼🧘 Severus is so wonderfully cranky, and Cormac is fine AF. The surprise pairing of 2023 that I never knew I needed and now I'm obsessed with!

17. An under-rated fic

Sun, Shadow, Shade by @naomijameston [Snuna, G, 700] 🌼☀️ Post-war fluff. Sunshine Luna is the perfect match for sullen Snape. A short and sweet fic for this underrated ship.

18. A canon-divergent fic

but somebody's gotta do it by nocturn [Pangulus, T, 920] 😄🧟‍♂️ This fic will make you say WTF but also huh, okay that totally works. The concept is WILD but Lyra executes it wonderfully. Pansy drags Regulus out of the inferi lake and they flirt a little while he gets de-corpsified lol.

—

💫 POLY SHIPS 💫

19. A dark fic

In his embrace by @loneamaryllis [Snarrymort, het!Snarry, E, 48k] ⚡️👀 Dark and dirty but so so good. A Voldemort Wins AU where fem!Harry is taken as prisoner. Snape's mindset as he tries to save her (and is forced to rape her) is so twisted and mesmerizing. Mind the tags!

20. A thought-provoking fic

Icarus by @thistlecatfics [Millvansy, M, 20.0k] 💔🍾 War trauma, addiction, codependency! This fic is messy with emotions but has a strong, beating heart underneath. I am in love with Parvati as she deals with Pansy's addiction and Millicent's denial — three beautiful, imperfect girls.

21. A holiday fic

A Time, Dark and Divine by @moonflower-rose [Dronarry, E, 17.0k] 🔥⛱ HOLY FREAKING FUCK!! The sexual tension in this fic is off the freaking charts. Drarry seducing Ron while on vacation in Portugal. Sign me the fuck up!

—

💫 GEN 💫

22. A favorite fic under 5k

The Scrunchie by @saintsenara [Lightning Era Girls, G, 4.5k] 💖👭 Such a lovely look into some of the female background characters, all following the path of a single scrunchie. Lisa, Padma, Parvati, Hannah, Sally-Anne.

23. A fic with an ending I can't stop thinking about

Through the Middlegame by @sandervansunshine [Astoria & Peter, T, 6.6k] 💔♜ Devastating, heart-wrenching, tragic. 10000% would recommend. Kylee has already heard me screaming in the servers about this fic. If I could get a fic tattooed straight onto my brain, this would be it.

—

💫 BONUS RECS! 💫

A podfic

Plenitude by @wilfriede, written by eldritcher [Amelmione, M, 14 min] 💔🥀 Amazing voices, amazing music, amazing ambience. Wilfriede really brings one of my fav Hermione/Amelia Bones fics to life in this podfic!

A comic

War Prize by @mrviran [Snegulus, Reggiemort, M, Comic, WIP] ☠️🐍 The panels are awe-inspiring. I am HOOKED on this comic. The murder and the TENSION. Ughhhhh so good. I am so invested in Severus's arc!!

A self-rec (completely self-indulgent)

For I Have Found Salvation by @lumosatnight [Snarry, E, 7.1k] 🔥✝ My first time writing Snarry! Priest Kink, church sex, and blasphemous religious imagery. Priest Severus is oh-so-tempted by Teen Harry. So fun to write and even more fun to go back and read as a guilty pleasure.

fic recs

Novel length fics I love and wish were real books :)

The Curse of Anteros -- @danpuff-ao3 -- Snarry, 52k, E

When Harry is cursed, he seeks out Severus Snape. They have a long history behind them, after all, and they've always had so much between them. Who else would he go to?

Kept in Cages -- @sweet-s0rr0w -- Drarry, 76k, E

Deep in the heart of the Ministry lies the Beast Division: a hidden room where ancient beasts roam, and winged creatures soar, and grumpy giant ferrets eat all your biscuits unless you keep them well hidden. Draco Malfoy would know – he’s been working there for five years now, after all. Meanwhile, on Level One, ex-Golden Boy Harry Potter is stuck in another interminable policy meeting, completely unaware of the mysterious comings and goings just three floors below. But when a giant snake emergency requires the assistance of a Parselmouth, Harry finds himself thrust, unprepared, into Draco’s weird and wonderful world – and naturally, he can’t keep away…

A Lick and a Promise -- @tackytigerfic -- Drarry, 55k, E

Something sinister stirs in Hogwarts! When magical creatures and students at the school are hit with a debilitating blood curse, Minerva McGonagall approaches the Ministry for help. Star Auror Harry Potter seems to be the obvious choice to go undercover—as DADA Professor, naturally. He’s going to need the help of the Ministry’s foremost expert in blood magic to get to the bottom of the mystery, though, and he’s not entirely convinced that going back to Hogwarts with Draco Malfoy is a good idea. Things are complicated between them—what’s new?—but they know they have to learn to work together (and keep their hands off each other in the corridors) in order to solve this case. Luckily for them, Hogwarts itself wants to lend a hand. A tale of love, lessons, and learning to really live.

The Beauty of Thestrals and Other Unseen Things -- @writcraft -- Drarry, 63k, E

Harry has terrific friends, an amazing girlfriend and his job as Head Auror enables him to work on challenging cases and Ministry reform. He just wishes he could work out why he’s been so out of sorts. When Draco Malfoy is arrested for gross indecency, Harry’s comfortable life begins to unravel. He’s forced to decide if it’s worth risking everything for love in a world where following his heart is a criminal offence.

Nocturne -- @necromanticnoir -- Snarry, E, 54k

A Gothic Snarry version of ‘Beauty and the Beast’, inspired by the dark and sensual tale from the Czech film version, ‘Panna a Netvor’. I follow some of the plot, but then diverge and do my own thing. Got to make it even weirder, right? An eerie, erotic, brooding, bloody, batty, haunting fairytale. ‘Underneath my skin there’s a human. Buried deep within there’s a human. Despite everything, I’m still human.’ - ‘Human’ by Daughter

A Guide to the Morphology of Magic -- orphaned -- Drarry, 64k, E

When Draco Malfoy is hand picked to investigate a string of curses cropping up in Muggle communities in North America, the last person he wanted to be traveling with was Harry Potter. Still, duty calls, and the two set off on an adventure chasing down mysterious curses, sleeping in cramped hotel rooms, and trying to navigate their newly formed post-War selves as they make their way through small towns and long, dark stretches of highway.

Soup-pocalypse and the Great Curry Cataclysm -- SquadofCats -- Drarry, 104k, E

Eleven years after the war, Draco Malfoy leads a quiet, boring, and perfectly respectable life, thanks very much. Or, at least he does, until a sudden and very unexpected veela awakening causes him to throw soup all over Harry Potter in the middle of the Ministry cafeteria.

Star Quality -- who_la_hoop -- Drarry, 118k, E

By the Grace -- @letteredlettered -- Drarry, 139k, T

Harry is an Auror instructor. Malfoy wants to be an Auror.

On the Deficiency of Translation Spells -- @liladiurne -- Snarry, 41k, E

Divorced, single, and free, Harry lives a completely unapologetic life in Paris. Between casual hook-ups and an easy, comfortable job, he likes to think he is as close to happiness as he'll ever be. And when he gets offered a teaching job at the prestigious Académie Beauxbâtons, he thinks he may have found exactly what was missing. But Harry is thoroughly unprepared for what he finds there - a familiar face that's been haunting his dreams for six years.

Wild -- orphaned -- Drarry, 92k, E

“No,” Harry said, by way of greeting. Malfoy’s blonde head rose slowly, carelessly. “Get out.” “I feel as though we’ve already established this, Potter,” Malfoy responded. “And I feel that what we established was that you telling me to get out of places really doesn’t make me more likely to vacate them.”

Tapestry -- @kbrick -- Drarry, 91k, E

In 2017, Harry is on his way to Pansy and Luna's beach house. He’s a bit terrified of seeing Draco, to be honest. It’s been a while, and then there’s the little matter of Draco having married someone else in the interim. In 2001, Draco is drunk, wearing Pansy's mother's ermine coat, and afraid to walk into the Leaky because someone might throw a curse at him. So, of course, he runs into his ex-nemesis and hopeless crush, Harry Potter. This is a love story that isn't perfect, about two people whose timing is never quite right, and all the moments that come together to make something extraordinarily beautiful anyway.

The Secret of the Philosopher Stone -- @yletylyf -- Snoldemort, 115k, E

Voldemort gets the Philosopher's Stone, but finds himself trapped at Hogwarts and in need of rescue. Loyal Death Eater Severus Snape is on the job, but even he is not quite prepared for Lord Voldemort to return as Tom Riddle with a patched-up soul and no interest in war. And as for Tom? Well, it's not so easy to stop being a domestic terrorist.

The Left Words -- authoresswithoutwords -- Tomarrymort, 234k, E

Harry has some weird words on his left wrist. That must be one of those strange things that Aunt Petunia hates so much. But it's okay! He likes them. Then, it all turns even weirder. Hogwarts, magic, a Headmaster and a Dark Lord await Harry - he would prefer if they all just left him alone, thank you very much. But when has it ever mattered what Harry wants?

When the Rose and the Fire Are One -- @perverse-idyll -- Snarry, 81k, E

Harry's haunted by guilt. Snape's warded by roses. Each must free the other in order to free himself.

Hi, you made a post reccing original books and fics once and I was wondering if you read something new after? I loved what you recommended, our tastes match so I'd love to read more!

(Referencing this post)

Hi! Thank you, I'm glad you found my recs useful! I was mostly reading fics lately, specifically in Batman and Black Sails fandoms. For the former and fics in general, I have recs listed here, and the latter requires the knowledge of the show.

That said, I discovered that the authors of Desiderium Intimum, one of my most favorite fics ever, decided to finish posting this story in English, and they also released an original dark romance series! The first part is called The Black Mongrel; there are two books in total published right now, with the third one about to follow them. I read them in two days and I'm still not over them. Obsession, possessiveness, interesting characters, absolutely unreasonable abusive monsters in lust and in love - everything I love is here.

There are some warnings that come with it, like severe racial discrimination, underage, and power imbalance. The relationship unfolds between a 16 yo Darren and Varis, a professor at the school where he's studying, and to say that things are not equal between them is to say nothing. It was very difficult to make it through several parts, but knowing these authors, I was certain that the inequality would be gradually lessening, and this was exactly what happened.

I reviewed both books on Goodreads, so I'll just copy my review here for those who will be interested in learning more about the plot.

The setting is intriguing: the world is divided into classes, with the lowest of them, the Black Mongrels, facing the most severe discrimination. They have no rights at all. Darren is one of them, but he's facing scorn even from his own people because his unique sparkling diamond-like eyes and his unique and destructive fire ability make him stand out. When he learned he has a place in the most elite school where no other Mongrels can even dream of studying at, I was curious to see how he was going to handle his new conditions, and naturally, discrimination and harsh treatment of Darren were tough to see. I admire Darren's inner strength at being able to withstand this all.

I'm also completely enthralled by Varis, one of the top assassins in this world and a professor at the school. He is absolutely terrifying. Such a dark, cruel, interesting character - his obvious attention to Darren, the hatred mixed with intense attraction is just wild. I was holding my breath every time they interacted, and the instances where he got protective of Darren made me swoon. It's easy to hate and fear him, but he's so endlessly captivating that you just want to know more.

Obsession and hate/attraction on Varis' end + confusion and quiet wistfullness on Darren's that were born in the first book are amplified tenfold in the second part. The absolutely crazy sexual tension between them filled every page, it was such an incredible sensation - suffocating, overwhelming, all-consuming. The air between these two is electrified, and that's considering that the story is a slow-burn - a fantastic, tickling, intense slow-burn that's been driving me crazy.

Darren is so lovely in how innocent and clueless he is, how he has just begun to barely understand the very basics of attraction (though these feelings still feel completely alien to him). I was wondering if Varis was going to explode at some point from all the feelings :D I felt like for him, it was intense lust from the first sight, and that he's so not used to feeling anything like this that he keeps taking it out on Darren by being especially cruel and harsh, blaming him for his own weakness.

In the second half of the second book, he seemed to accept it more, and I loved seeing his softening attitude. These two have such a unique interesting dynamic: they still have an absolutely horrifying and unequal relationship, Varis is still one of the biggest tormentors for Darren, and yet they are as close to friends to each other as they could be - they aren't this close to anyone else. I loved it so much.

All the moments where Varis protects him, where he shows concern and care - something the actual professor of Darren's group keeps consistently missing; all the situations where Varis applies stricter and stricter measures to punish Darren's attackers. I really can't wait to see where it goes next because I imagine that Varis' feelings will keep gaining power.

I like how Darren's friend Joel tries to be supportive, even though he's so ignorant, and I especially love how he comments on Varis' obsession with Darren. Seeing such an electrifying obsession through someone else's eyes always gives me a boost.

I'm interested in the world itself, in the whole division of students into assassins, scouts, and others, and I love the image Varis makes - such a dangerous, cruel, lethal predator, capable of moving soundlessly, of killing someone before this person has a chance to realize anything. The comparisons with spiders are so on point. I can't wait to see what happens next because I have a feeling that Darren represents much more than he believes himself to be. There is something very special about him that can change the fabrics of how this society functions, and I'm all in for this journey.
