HD Owlpost 2023 recs
Here are some of my favorite fics from @hdowlpost 2023. Listed in alphabetical order.
Never Have I Ever Thought That You Might Want Me, Too by @drarrymyheart [8k]
“When it’s his turn, Ron gives Harry an ominous look. “Never have I ever wanted to kiss any of the boys in this room.”
Harry freezes. Dean, Seamus, Hermione, Hannah, Pansy, and even Blaise are all immediately lifting their drinks. Malfoy moves to pick his up as well and Harry tracks the movement as if watching in slow-motion…The ridge of Malfoy’s bottle of cider pushes against his lower lip as he takes a sip. Harry nearly groans. Steeling himself, Harry drinks.”
Harry and the crew take a ski trip. Harry can’t seem to keep his eyes and thoughts off a certain blonde.
Of easy wind and downy flake by @starquestingfordrarry [14k]
It’s snowing in July, and it’s Malfoy’s fault.
Or, the one where the house wants the boys to kiss.
Say It Out Loud by @pheaphilus [11k]
Eighth year was bollocks, as far as Draco could tell.
That Which Remains by @sitaz [2k]
Being a Junior Auror is not what Harry expected it to be. And the unregistered Veela in cell 4 does look familiar...
I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

►Draco Mallory liked his life after the war, in his little flat in Brighton, with his group of muggle friends and a career that let him put something beautiful out in the world.

3. dueling is their foreplay by tinaakitten [T, 2k]
►“Oh, sorry,” Harry teased. “Did I not tell you? We duel to submission, and I don’t recall saying I was done.” /// Auror partners Draco and Harry have a quick surprise duel in the training room.
4. Predicting the Present by @xx-thedarklord-xx [T, 7k]
►Malfoy—of all people—was the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, and Harry didn’t like it. He didn’t like it one bit. “Professor Malfoy said we’ll be learning the basics on how to cast a Patronus!” Oh really? That, Harry had to see.

1. An accidental courtship by Anonymous [E, 6k]
►“The courtship starts with the offering of a single burgundy rose at exactly seven days before the winter solstice. The courtee may formally accept the continuation of the courtship – if they wish – by placing a single kiss on the flower.”
★ Harry/Draco Owlpost 2023 | @hdowlpost
2. A Christmas in Heat by Anonymous [E, 3k]

2023.12 ~ Top 5 longest fics posted on AO3
1. The Man Who Forgot by @slightweasel [E, 250k]
►After ten years of marriage, Harry forgets. The more things change, the more Draco Malfoy is still up to something.
2. Conjuring Cupid by @sugarplum-senpai [M, 89k]
►Two decades after Hogwarts, Harry's toy shop is ready for the busiest season of the year. Bolstered with an ever-growing work list, plenty of tea, and a sentient puppet always looking for mischief, his life is full. Still, at the end of the day, he’s lonely, and as the boy who lived his search looking for a match is disastrous. When his friends register him for an anonymous dating service, he’s unconvinced. Then again, maybe not knowing each other’s faces right away might just give him everything he’s longing for.
3. City of Quartz by ladygoodman [M, 57k]
►[...] It's 2012, and the granddaughter of Celestina Warbeck is pronounced dead at her home in Los Angeles. Auror Harry Potter finds the case file a little too familiar with other celebrity deaths cropping up all over the UK. The Dark Mark is making an appearance on young witches and wizards as well. There are only a few former Death Eaters who haven't been locked away in Azkaban, and Draco Malfoy is one of them. On that suspicion, Harry follows his tracks all the way to sunny Los Angeles, where he's faced with an entirely new caliber of celebrity culture. Who is Caelum West? How is he mixed in with all of this? And why does he look exactly like Draco Malfoy?
4. Nervous? by @invisible-nerd-girl [T, 46k]
►Harry gets drunk at a party, only to remember a game he over heard muggles talking about. He ends up playing with Draco who doesn't back down. Much to his surprise, it doesn't end there.
5. If I win, lose, or draw, there’s a winner in us all by MystMelody [E, 41k]
►Sixteen years ago, Harry and his England team suffered World Cup heartbreak following an agonisingly close loss at the hands of a single, incorrect umpiring decision. Many years and two World Cup victories later, and Harry is (mostly) sure that he has moved on. As Harry’s final tournament before retirement looms, he is confident that his team have what it takes to lift the trophy a third time - no matter what anyone else might say. Especially Malfoy, who has reinvented himself as a successful Quidditch reporter and seems determined to write as many awful things about the team as possible. [...]

The Scent of You (Inside Me)
E, very explicit, 9k
Just because the war ended didn’t mean that Draco had to be nice to Potter. Their fights continued, their arguing never mellowed, and it landed them in detention, smack dab in the middle of the Forbidden Forest—again.
Oh, and Potter was in heat too.
Some Tags: Omega Verse, Alpha Draco Malfoy, Omega Harry Potter, Riding, Slick, A lot of Slick, Slick as Lube, Inappropriate Use of Slick, Come Sharing, Possessive Harry Potter, Harry Rubs his Slick into Draco's Skin, Eighth Year
Ao3
This is probably the raunchiest thing I've ever written which is not typically my style, but I was asked to be a pinch hitter for hdowlpost and this was one of the giftee's interests and I decided either I was going to go big or go home when it came to my first Omega Verse of this caliber.
#Drarry#Draco Malfoy#Harry Potter#Omega Verse#Alpha Draco Malfoy#Omega Harry Potter#Mature#Very Mature#Slick#A lot of slick#XxTheDarkLordxX Writes#Technically I did do another Omega Verse#But it was background#and more centred around scents#and how Harry isn't attracted to scents like everyone else#Yes#that was a way to put Asexuality in Omega Verse in other ways#but that's a different story lmao#not this one#I need to stop making drafts after I take medicinal sleep gummies#this one is like a typical Omega Verse through and through#I do know that this won't be everyone's cup of tea#but if it is#I do hope you enjoy it!

Fic Claim: First Frost
I had the pleasure of writing this piece as a gift for digthewriter for this year's @hdowlpost!
First Frost (drarry, 4.7k, T, 8th year)
By the time Draco saw the outline of the castle appear between the trees, he breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn’t wait to return into the safety of its walls, where people behaved as they ought to.
But he had made his calculations without Potter.
Or at least without this new and entirely unpredictable version of Potter, who, as they reached the edge of the forest, suddenly turned to Draco with a disarmingly genuine expression and said: “This was nice. We should do it again.”
And with that, he turned and walked leisurely down the hill, which was fortunate because Draco's expression of utter incredulity was best left unwitnessed.

Daily Blog July 1, 2023
Another gorgeous day in the PNW! It really does feel like summer here now. Daughter has no Covid symptoms as of yet but is still positive. Her boyfriend is sick but only mildly. He's had it before and said last time he was out for 2 weeks and it was horrible. Fingers remained cross.
What I'm reading:
Okay, I'm in shock. I'm not reading anything at the moment besides the results for Google research I'm doing for my fic. LOL I do have a fic lined up for tonight. It will be Everybody Hates a Tourist (51K). The 2nd posting today for @hd-wireless so it's by Anon. :)
Tumblr Interesting Posts:
Today is the first day for claiming a prompt on @hd-fan-fair!
Today is the first day of posting for @hd-wireless. And oh, what an opener!!! It's Art!
Also the @hdwickedwixen has extended the deadline for pre-ordering the new Drarry Zine until July 4th!!!! So very excited to see this as I put in my order for a physical copy.
Fic Rec:
I've recced this fic before on Tumblr, but it was awhile ago and I think I might have had 20 or so followers at the time. :) So I keep saying this fic is in my top 3 and I should stop that because it's actually my favorite h/d fic. I love so many others, but this one has stuck with me since it was first posted as a gift for me back in 2008 for the first annual Creatures Fest. It could've fit right into the @lcdrarry (Lights, Camera, Drarry) fest as some of Harry's words and the title were adapted from the movie I Am Legend (2007).
We Are Legend (38K) by @vaysh11 is very far removed from standard h/d fics but holds their essence like no other. It's a dystopian AU fic, the ultimate dystopian fic, 80 years into the future. The war against Voldemort is still being fought. There's been major major losses but Flash Man carries on. Here's the summary and then I'll say a bit more: Eighty years into the future, Voldemort won. Harry Potter is a renegade wizard, Portkeying Muggles out of London to Hogwarts, last sanctuary in a Britain ruled by the Dark Lord. On a mission he encounters a powerful phoenix Animagus fighting on the Death Eaters' side. He recognises Draco Malfoy whom he thought long dead. But the differences between them are perhaps even greater than before. Enemies may become lovers, but can Harry return Draco the phoenix to humanity? And will they together be able to defeat Voldemort? This is the legend of Flash Man and the Blue Phoenix …
This fic carries a big warning of MCD. But please, oh please do not let that stop you from reading this masterpiece in writing. There's action, there's lore, there's Indian food, and birds. But most of all we have h/d in small place high above it all. Harry is our Harry. Brave and powerful but also kind. Draco is beautiful but so so hurt in the state he's in. Together they have to figure out how to end this war and for Draco finally to be at peace.
We Are Legend on AO3.
Give the author, @vaysh11, who is definitely still around lots of love. @vaysh11 continues to mod @hdowlpost...like forever. And has previously modded more hd/hp fests than you can imagine. One of those magical elves. :)
Okay, I'm off to do my writing for the night. Enjoy your Saturday or for some I think it must be Sunday.
Rom

Owl Post 2022 Thank You Notes!
I'm taking a leaf out of @phoebe-delia's book and writing up my thank you's for the incredible gifts I was given during last/this year's Owl Post. You can see what gifts Phoebe received here, and definitely check out the treats Phoebe created here and here!
💙 smirkingcat wrote the most lovely and effusive comment for my @hp-fearfest story, Making a Family Makes a Home [2.4k | T]. Getting comments on smaller, lesser-read stories is always such a delight, but for someone to take the time to respond so thoughtfully is amazing!! Thank you so much for choosing this story, and taking the time to get to know it!
💚 Drakaina wrote me the gorgeous fic Reminded With A Kiss [NR | 7.2k]
Summary: After returning from their honeymoon, Draco and Harry are ready to move into their house in the countryside and start doing it up. Harry wants to make everything perfect in time to host a Christmas Eve gathering for their loved ones; Draco just wants a library. Luckily, Harry wants to give Draco anything he asks for.
Then there's the little visitor who keeps re-appearing in the garden. But they aren't going to stay, no matter what Harry has to say about it - Draco's certain of that.
Isn't he?
This is such a lovely established relationship fic with all the warm, fuzzy holiday feels. There's even the tiniest stray puppy who stole my heart immediately (and Draco's, even if he's loathe to admit it)! I just love the all the family cuteness in this story.
💜 @maraudersaffair wrote the absolute Christmas miracle of a story Christmas Cheer at the Burrow [G | 1k]
Summary: It's Draco's first Christmas at the Burrow and he has no idea what to expect. Thankfully he has Harry by his side.
I'm so, so pleased you took my prompt of Draco experiencing his first Weasley Christmas and turned it into this!! Molly Weasley hugging Draco Malfoy will forever be my favorite thing to happen in the universe!!!! I particularly adore Draco and Ron's blossoming friendship in this story. This was the perfect holiday treat!!
I implore everyone to go read these fics, asap!!! I'm so grateful for each and every one of you, thank you for putting your time and energy into these gifts!! Happy (belated) holidays!!

Do you know any fests that are happening or happening soon?
hi nonnie!
this is quite a question! there are SO MANY fests going on at any given time - @hpfests is an incredible resource for all things HP fest-related, and I often also reference the Potter Fests DW site.
as for some recommendations from me? let's see:
@hdsudsfest is currently prompting through the 24th - already SO MANY great ideas out there! not a writer? prompting for fests is a great way to get your ideas out there (and let someone else write them for you!)
@hdowlpost is open for sign-ups through the end of this month, if you're looking for a fun way to participate in an anonymous holiday exchange!!
@hd-wireless just released their masterlist - i would literally recommend every single work that came from it.
@hp-bodiceripper just posted their last work yesterday - another collection of bangers!
@harrydracobang reverse bang fics begin posting on 9/5 - this one is particularly close to my heart!
@hpwlwbigbang, @hpdrizzle, @hp-soulmates, @hpfacultyfest, and @hp-fearfest are all about to start posting in the upcoming weeks!
and SO MANY more... I could literally go on and on and on until we're back around to wireless reveals for 2023. hope this is helpful, and don't forget to leave creators lots of love in the form of kudos and comments - it's sustenance for us! ♥️

Owl Post Thank You Notes 2022
I got some incredible gifts for @hdowlpost this year! And now that reveals are up on LiveJournal, I want to say thank you to my lovely gifters.
@legendrarry wrote this stunning fic that left me speechless. Pure poetry. Read "Are we falling like snow on the beach"
@orpheous87 wrote this absolutely darling party games fic, which made me lose my damn mind. It's a lot of fun, and it made me grin so much. Read "It's All Fun and Games"
@purplehotmess and the lovely Yuvika wrote me this steamy, hilarious, sweet, and endearing fic. Featuring husbands who are madly in love with each other. Read "You're The One I Want"
Seriously, with all these, run don't walk.

HD Owlpost 2022 recs
Here are some of my favorite fics from @hdowlpost 2022. Listed in alphabetical order.
The Golden Bough by @m0srael [21k]
Harry Potter knows better than most how tightly Love and Death are entwined, but when he is tempted by death for a third time, Unspeakable Draco Malfoy will have to remind him.
Nighthawks by @m0srael [39k]
"The more he’d thought about it–and he had thought about it–the less certain he’d become that Draco had really been there, glowing in the murky glass of the diner window next to Harry’s stunned reflection like some cruel mockery of the Mirror of Erised. The longer he’d lain in bed, awake and fully clothed, the more convinced he was that he’s having some sort of mental breakdown. The long days and even longer nights must finally be getting to him, just like Hermione said they would.
Because the fact of the matter is that Draco Malfoy couldn’t have been in this diner, his diner. Draco is thousands of kilometers, and a whole lifetime, away."
In which Harry and Draco frequent the same diner when they can't sleep. Except--Draco left the UK five years ago, right after he broke Harry's heart.
I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

Complete fics posted on AO3 this day
1. Curiosity is Never Enough by @annanother-thing [E, 10k]
►Draco is a food writer and TV personality, Harry is confused and horny, and Pansy is a bitch.
2. meet me in the dark by Scarlet_Moons [T, 9k]
►After a botched mission, Harry and Draco are stranded without their wands and with no way to get home or back to the ministry. Their only option is to spend the night in a muggle hotel. The only problem is, there's only one bed and each of them is hopelessly in love with the other.
3. Should old acquaintance be forgot by @jtimu [T, 1k]
►Draco comes to New Year's at Grimmauld.
4. Straight Boy by @suunfun [E, 12k]
►Young, blond and handsome, Draco attracts unwanted attention in prison. When his cellmate offers him protection, Draco accepts the offer, even though he doesn’t trust the guy. Little does he know how much it will change his life. When he’s released from prison, Draco finds himself needing and wanting things he shouldn’t want. Draco is straight. He is. He has a girlfriend. What happened in prison stayed in prison—or so Draco tells himself. Until he meets his former cellmate again. Harry. The guy he hates and craves.
5. This is moving much faster than I was expecting by @writingfanficsfan [T, 1k]
►Draco trailed his fingertips down Harry’s naked torso, feeling the muscles flex underneath him. Harry was panting deeply, clutching the sheets and Draco wished he had a camera at that moment. [...]
6. When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night by @andithiel [T, 6k]
►After they sorted their differences a few years ago, Draco and Harry have struck an unlikely friendship. Draco knows he should be satisfied with that, but despite his best efforts, he’s been secretly in love with Harry for years. And now, one year after Harry and Ginny got divorced, Draco’s working up the courage to ask Harry out to a New Year’s party.

Fest/Exchange
1. The Mystery of the Missing Missive by Anonymous [G, 1k]
►Horrified to discover he’s been left off the guest list for a faculty holiday party, Draco Malfoy begins plotting.
★ Harry/Draco Owlpost 2023 | @hdowlpost
2. Never Mind the Bollocks by Anonymous [E, 118k]
►If someone told Harry six months ago that by autumn he would be single, living on whisky and toast, and dancing the night away with Draco Malfoy, he would have told them to get their head checked. And yet, here he was.
★ H/D Erised 2023 | @hd-erised
3. There’s No Place Like Home (Unless I’m with You) by @maraudersaffair [E, 40k]
►It’s Christmastime, and someone is trying to kill Harry (again). He takes shelter at Malfoy Manor, but the house’s reclusive owner seems determined to keep his distance. What Harry doesn’t know is that Draco is desperate to have him. He is also desperate to protect his heart. There is no way the Chosen One could ever love a lonely single father with a disability, right?
