#but at the end of the day we're all obsessing over the fucking harry potter series

To all those shippers that depict Sirius as a self-absorbed, short, fem twink with a flare for dramatics -- and Remus as a tall, angry, buff, dom werewolf daddy -- go ahead, it's a fully rounded dynamic! You're actually shipping Gilderoy Lockhart x Fenrir Greyback though! Remember to tag correctly folks! Hope this helps 🥰 🥰

Hii!💕 How are you? How about 7, 8, 10, 22 & 29 for the writing asks? (Yes I know that's a lot ^'^ I couldn't choose between them! Feel free to discard some of the questions though!)
Sky!! Hello lovely, thank you for this 💛💛💛
7. Your favourite ao3 tag.
Okay, I was really hoping someone would ask this 😂😂. It's on Holy Ground. I'm just gonna leave this screenshot here and tag @written-in-ash because this joke was her fault.
Tumblr media
8. How slow is a slow burn?
To me, anything longer than like 25k is a slow burn. But at the same time, I think pretty much anything could be, if written that way..
10. Top three favourite fic tropes.
(In no particular order): mutual pining, party games, and love confessions
--as you can tell I love get-together fluff 🥰
22. What is it about watching the same two idiots falling in love over and over again?
So for me, it's a lot of things. One very minor bonus is that each fic I read and write feels like a little rebellion against JKR. I read it knowing 1. it's better written than anything she did and 2. She would HATE it.
But more than that, really, is that it gives me comfort that love can be found, be made, and be created in a million different scenarios and universes. Harry and Draco can find each other and fall in love, no matter how much the fic diverges from canon. They can get together post-Epilogue, 8th year, Hogwarts years, or in a completely alternate universe. They can be mermaids or Veelas or werewolves or pirates or royalty or literally anything we want them to be.
The common thread through it all is that it's them. It's Harry and Draco, falling in love every time. Their connection, their tension, and their chemistry are literally transcendent. It's green and gray eyes, neat white-blond and messy black hair. It's "Scared Potter?" "You wish." It's "I can't be sure" and "rapidly becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy." And shaking hands and apologies and comparing scars and shared trauma. It's forgiveness, of each other and themselves. It will never, ever get old.
It's both romantic and hopeful. And there's something about enemies to lovers that's always compelling because it's when people see and are the victims of each other at their WORST, and yet love one another.
29. What’s the hardest thing about writing?
So, ironically, we're literally having this conversation in the microfic server rn, but the hardest part for me is that my ideas are too big for my motivation/energy. My creativity is writing checks that my writing stamina can't cash 😂. It's funny—I can, and have, written like 2 or 3 microfics in a day. But it would be pulling teeth to get me to write the same word count for a single story.
Like right now, I'm working on a fic for an anon fest (well, I'm actually also working on fics for more than one anon fest but I'm talking about one in particular). And 1. I'm daunted because it's a trope I've never really done before and 2. I'm putting WAY too much pressure on myself for it to be my magnum fucking opus. I want it to be perfect. I don't want to have regrets like I do for a handful of my other fics; I don't want to look back at this one and cringe. Of everything I've written, I want to get this one right, because the prompt is really important to me.
In another answer for this game yesterday, I gave the writing advice yesterday to "write what you know." Well, I feel like I put everything I know into this is me trying. I know that's not true, and I'm trying to take my own advice and just write other things I know. I have the overall timeline worked out, and a couple little plot things, but filling the rest in is a challenge.
I'm going to pace myself. I'm going to get it done. But I want to do this one right, and not rush it at the end. I want to tell the story that Drarry deserves, that the prompt deserves, that I'm proud of and that people enjoy.
💛💛💛

Ever since @tackytigerfic published her brilliant 30 under 10k reclist I decided to dedicate some time to read and rec drabbles as well. It’s truly impressive to see how much authors can pack in just a few words - some drabbles deliver the best kind of emotional punch and they deserve all the love and appreciation! These are a few smutty faves I’ve checked over the past few days. Enjoy!
DRARRY
Unfinished Business by Leela (2011, 300 words)
What really happened when Draco went to fetch Griphook.
A penchant for Potter by ravenclawsquill (2016, 360 words)
Of all the ways to make Potter squirm, this is by far my favourite.
Nox by @bixgirl1 (2018, 400 words)
He has an obsession with the dark of Nox.
Ridiculed, Opposed, Accepted by @p1013 (2020, 400 words)
“I want you to fuck me," Draco says in the middle of a Ministry-sanctioned potions lab as if he's talking about the weather.
Inside by @unmistakablyoatmeal (2013, 500 words)
Malfoy isn't someone Harry should want.
A Moment After Dusk by @kedavranox (2013, 600 Words)
Just some smutty time with our favourite boys.
Santa Baby by tealeaf523 (2011, 600 words)
Harry Potter receives some very inappropriate Secret Santa gifts.
Geschmacksache by Regan_V (2012, 600 words)
Malfoy tasted different now. Not at all like he had back in their sixth year.
Such civil war is in my love and hate by cjmarlowe (2004, 600 words)
They may only have moments, but they'll make the most of them.
What's Wrong With Being Competent? By @primaveracerezos (2020, 600 words)
Harry's venting about work again. Draco can't help it if Harry's competence makes him weak.
In The Mirror by Cassiara (2019, 600 words)
The mirror fogs as Harry breathes heavily against it. He’s on his hands and knees, moaning and gasping as Draco fucks into him. In the mirror Harry can see the man behind him, biting his lip and thrusting his hips hard and fast.
"First" date by postjentacular (2019, 700 words)
Harry and Draco, despite their lack of memories and magic, end up exactly where you expect.
Not All of Draco's Birthdays Were Good by Sophie_French (2014, 730 words)
Not all of Draco's birthdays were good. Even though there might be light at the end of the tunnel, after all.
Never Forgive, Never Forget by fireflavored (2009, 900 words)
Draco is a Malfoy, and no one should forget it.
The Angel, the Demon, and the Grey Cashmere Socks by LadyGaGalion (2015, 1k)
Harry has a dirty little secret. So does Draco.
RAREPAIRS
Harry wants by curiouslyfic (Harry/Draco/Charlie, 2011, 300 words)
That's on the top ten wank fantasies list, too.
Succor by @lqtraintracks (Harry/Teddy, 2019, 500 words)
“How much this time?” Harry asks, the alcohol slowing his words. The boy beside him breathes a warm sound, inviting and soft. “Ten sickles for an hour.”
Ruined by @gracerene09 (Ron/Viktor, 2019, 534 words)
Written for the prompt: Ron Weasley is totally straight...Totally. Except when it comes to Viktor Krum.
The View From Up Here by @shiftylinguini (Teddy/James, 2016, 640 words)
All James wants is to fuck Teddy on the couch. Teddy, however, has other ideas, and he's not gonna keep his mouth shut about them...
Blurred Lines by @lqtraintracks (Teddy/Draco, Teddy/Harry, 2016, 750 words)
Teddy has needs. Teddy has kinks. Draco is totally good with helping him out with those.
A Proud Tradition by Lokifan (Draco/Charlie, 2013, 850 words)
Birthday spankings are a proud tradition. And anyway, Charlie wouldn’t be with Draco if he didn’t enjoy danger.

Don't Speak by tryslora (Draco/Neville, 2012, 980 words)

After Midnight (We're Gonna Let It All Hang Out) by xylodemon (Harry/Ron, 2005, 1k)
In which Harry and Ron spend some quality time after hours.

You'll love it, I swear (plus there is side ziall and it gives me life)
2.) these bountiful silences  by tommoandbambi * This fic fucked me up for days and it hurts me in so much ways possible. It's dystopian so if you don't like that, I suggest you still read it because IT'S GREAT but WARNING: you should emotionally and mentally prepare before reading this. This is still so incredibly amazing and i really, really want you to read it ( also has side ziall)
3.) elysian  by wonderlou * THIS IS GREAT GREAT GREAT and it gives so much more depth into the normal beauty and the beast story and it also gives me life. Everything here is perfect and yall should read it.
4.) we're afire love  by rosemeetsdagger * This also amazing and so very fluffy. It'll make you cry of joyful, gay tears. Plus the smut here is great! This is the H-E- double hockey sticks fic that completed me.
5.) escapade  by dolce_piccante * i cant eloquently word out how i feel about this fic but this filled every void that is in me. The fluff was amazing! The smut was wonderful and I might have read it more than once. I might also have made fanart based on this. (Hipster ziall that also gave me life)
6.) orange canvas  by aclosetlarryshipper * This is so fluffyyyy and greaaat! Liam, Niall, and Zayn are the best friends you wished you have and its in Mexico. What could possibly go wrong?

9.) like a boomerang  by youwill * The plot here is so complex and it lowkey ruined me but in the greatest possible way. You can never have too much larry. This so good I swear.
10.) touch me with your alien dick  by tvfeels * the title is self explanatory. It does have fluff too underneath the smutty facade of the title I promise.
