Kissing with Fred Weasley would include
Pairing: Fred Weasley x fem!Reader
Warning: non
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, Fred is a fan of the PDA.
So he will kiss you everywhere.
In the library.
On the astronomical tower.
In the dungeons of Snape, when you are left for punishment.
Fred's kisses are always unexpected.
But his kisses are often very long and slow.
Very sensual.
After such kisses, he usually bites your lower lip slightly.
Light and quick kisses between classes.
Passionate and long in empty classrooms or the library.
Fred likes to kiss your wrists.
And also, as I wrote above.
Fred is not afraid of the PDA.
And willingly likes to leave hickeys on your neck.
Gentle and tired kisses after a hard day.
When the lips barely touch.
When you move in with him after graduating from Hogwarts.
Fred gets into the habit of kissing you on the shoulder in the morning.
Besides, we all know that Fred is a great joker.
So giggling kisses are your most frequent kisses with Fred.

🦇🎃 WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP 🎃🦇
All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes. Please look at tags and warnings on ao3 before reading.
Merlin
The Hunt for Red Emrys by darkbluedark
King Arthur sets out to keep his promise to the spirit of the Druid boy by repealing his father's ban on magic. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, for reasons including but not limited to the following:
(1) He can't change the law until he understands magic better, but no sorcerer is willing to explain magic to him until he changes the law;
(2) The sorcerers all have some strange obsession with Merlin, which is awakening all sorts of feelings in Arthur that he really doesn't fancy examining too closely;
(3) He is starting to feel like the butt of some Druid-population-wide inside joke involving the mysterious phenomenon called Emrys; and
(4) Oh yeah, Morgana is still trying to kill him.
Thus he embarks on a journey of discovery, diplomacy, accountability, and self-improvement, and maybe even falls in love along the way.
Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-Kun
Kalego-sensei is...dead? by IcyPheonix
The Misfits come to school one day to discover that they have, a substitute teacher. They decide that this can only mean one thing; Kalego-sensei, has died.
He hasn't but that's not gonna stop them from pretending he has of course.
SVSSS
The Moon's Beloved Shadow by mofumofu
Shen Qingqiu is a man who hides his twin brother from the world with the ferocity of a phoenix-eyed mother crane.
Shen Yuan is a helpless transmigrator who wishes Airplane-bro had given even a single bit of backstory for this side character he's inhabiting!
Luo Binghe isn't doomed to face the Endless Abyss, but he is forced to confront something infinitely more frustrating: an overly protective brother.
Natsume Yuujinchou
What Colors Do You See In This Monochrome World by mermorgie.
Natori's voice brought him back to the present. "You alright there, Natsume?" The look the exorcist was giving him was warm and a tad concerned. Natsume gave him a small, but earnest smile. "I'm fine, Natori-san. Just a bit nervous." This was the truth. He had no idea why the head of the Matoba Clan invited him this time, but he was sure that the man was up to no good.
Or: Natsume gets invited to an exorcist meeting. He is not too happy about it, but at least the view is great.
Harry Potter
Three's Family by darkbluedark
It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties.
(This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)
-
“Just ask them questions only they would know the answer to,” Malfoy suggests.
“There’s not a single thing that I know about either of them from the first war that any old Death Eater couldn’t find out.”
“How is that possible?” Malfoy huffs. “He’s your father!”
“Am I or am I not famously an orphan?” Potter snarls.
Once More Unto The Boggart by darkbluedark
Professor Lupin let out his breath very slowly. “So this is why you think you’ve been struggling to make progress with the Patronus charm? Because a part of you wants to let the dementor close, in a way, in order to hear your parents?”
Harry nodded again, though more guiltily this time. “I want to let the boggart out, just once, and, er, not cast the charm."
Those Who Have Seen by darkbluedark
Only those who have seen death can see thestrals.
It turns out, thestrals look different for those who have seen Death.

Happy Friday, friends! I’ve never done monthly wrap ups before but since Wireless pulled me back from a brief hiatus, I thought it would be cool to share some things I’ve been reading, that could use more love. 10 fics both old and new, Drarry and rare pairs, Wireless treats; pick your poison and have fun! 🙌
Drarry
Muscle Memory by @corvuscrowned (E, 7k) - brilliant concept perfectly executed, I’m so here for curse-breaking colleagues who fuck at the job to pass time and then forget about it every time 🤌🏼 genius and intriguing and captivating as per crow’s usual
There's something just beneath the surface, just at the periphery of Harry's mind. They've been here before — they've done this before. If only he could remember it.
And Embers at Your Lips by @nametheshadows (T, 15k) - sequel to one of my all-time favorite 8th year fics with insomniac roommates just as soft and healing as LLAYF. Gorgeous prose and all the kissing. Highly rec this series for A+ comfort food!
The sequel to Like Lightning at Your Fingertips: the kissing montage. And there’s that thing with Potter’s magic.
Rich Friend, Anon (E, 18k) - one of my faves from Wireless, pop star!Draco never gets old and both the pacing and the romance are perfectly developed! I live for Harry’s horny yearning and for their road trip together, kudos to casual Harry/Neville as a side ship!
As far as Harry can tell, Draco Malfoy is still rich as hell. He’s just not a wizard anymore. Featuring: Draco Malfoy trying to make it as a Muggle pop star, Harry Potter as our confused and horny hero, bad driving, good music, and the mysterious magic of falling for someone.
Waking Up Slow, Anon (E, 22k) - this ode to advent Drarry fics took my breath away with a charming Draco, fun dynamics, an enchanting Christmas shop and one of the sexiest smut scenes I’ve read this year, 10/10 recommend for hot & sweet magical vibes and lots of references as an homage to the classics!
'Twas the night before Christmas, although it’s July / Draco’s a shopkeeper, no-one knows why / There’s hiking and witch caves, freak snowfalls and more / Bad Christmas jumpers, nosy neighbours galore / Narcissa’s here too, but… something’s amiss / And what’s in those chocolates that’s making them kiss?
We Are Legend by Vaysh (E, 38k) - happy to report to @romaine2424 that I have finally read this epic apocalypse AU and am shooketh with its originality and serious tone. One of the most creative takes I’ve seen on animagus Draco, a poignant and devastating war story.
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. Cw: MCD
LA, Who Am I To Love You?, Anon (E, 42k) - I cannot believe this beauty was written for my lil Wireless prompt ♥️ perfect LA vibes, gorgeous aesthetics, horny ust and a fascinating take on both down and out bi Harry and out and proud bi Draco, we love to see it! Couldn’t have asked for a better story to fill my prompt, ty anon!
Harry’s summer in LA is not going as expected. Pansy Parkinson keeps inviting him to parties in the Hollywood Hills and harassing him to finally go to the physical therapist, Blaise Zabini keeps slipping new strains of his company’s magical weed into Harry’s pockets in hopes of an endorsement, and Draco Malfoy keeps having sex with everyone but Harry.
Rare Pairs
A Different Tune by November Snowflake (M, 8k) - very nice Dron get together, short & sweet with an undercurrent melancholy that I love, just what I needed before bed
Working in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office has led Ron to many strange encounters--but none more unexpected than this one. Cw: Harry’s dead
The Years Between by brummell (M, 14k) - another rare pair fave, this Rarry fic told from Ron’s smitten and jealous pov as he helps Harry recover from a coma is so deliciously raw and angsty. Gorgeous slow burn, the feels!
For both Harry and Ron, a wake-up call is just the beginning.
Things Remembered by avioleta (E, 17k) - best Snarry fic I’ve read this year, I’m low key obsessed with this hitmen + amnesia concept and how the romance develops so organically while they’re on the run. Intriguing plot, sexy ust and super scorching smut that made me salivate jfc 🔥
Harry wakes up in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar hotel room, and with absolutely no idea who he is. The man he’s in bed with has no memories either. But they think, maybe, they’re assassins, because they seem to be very good at killing people.
A Dress with Pockets by PacificRimbaud (E, 25k) - a Panville classic recced by anon (ty!!), what a sexy and vibrant read! I LOVED Neville and their dynamics are brilliant and so funny, I just couldn’t get enough of these characters. 100% sold on this ship pls and thank
Pansy Parkinson needed a drink. And a shag. She didn't care in which order. Enter: Neville fucking Longbottom and his rolled up sleeves.

Tumblr media
Alright these two are my absolute darlings, my destructive sweethearts who love each other more than they can handle, and I’ve loved them for years and there’s not that much fic for them and I’m personally kinda picky about their dynamic in fic but I am also trying very hard to spread the word of this ship so I wanted to make a rec list of my fifteen favourite fics for Sirius Black/Narcissa Black Malfoy!
All of these fics center around siricissa, so there’s the obvious warning for cousin incest in every fic. Other warnings have been included, but please do read the tags and all before reading bc I just included the most obvious warnings.
They’re sorted by year they were published, starting in 2010 with the very first fic I ever read for them (I only read it in like 2016 or so, but still) and ending in 2023!
Also for one of these fics, this gorgeous piece of art was created that I’m still stunned by each time I see it, so I wanted to bring some special attention to it. It was created by @dragonanddirewolf for the fic The Black Rose.
The list:
Nothing Like the Real Thing by beren (@berenwrites) Explicit | 2900 words | Includes Lily/Narcissa Warnings: Polyjuice potion to have sex, and they're at Hogwarts so potentially underage?
Summary: This is actually the first fic I ever read for them and I still really like it! Lily and Narcissa have an arrangement where one takes polyjuice to look like someone of the other person’s choosing before they fuck. Narcissa chooses Sirius, and she gets closer to the real deal than she’d anticipated.
2. Once Upon a Dream by Elfflame (@elfflame) Explicit | 5280 words | Background Lucius/Narcissa Warnings: Infidelity
Summary: Narcissa hosts a masquerade ball at Malfoy Manor. Sirius sneaks in, in costume, and dances and flirts with her anonymously. They both have an idea of who the other is, but it’s better not to say that out loud until the night’s over.
3. Sleeping in the Devil’s Bed by A_Factorygirl_69 (2012) Explicit | 7819 words | Background Lucius/Narcissa Warnings: Infidelity
Summary: They meet during the first war in the Leaky Cauldron and Sirius is as crass as he could possibly be. Narcissa hates it, she tells him so, and then she spends 8000 words taking him up on his crude offers.
4. A thousand silhouettes by elle_blessing Teen | 3094 words | Includes a playlist
Summary: Their lives, sneaking around at Hogwarts and watching their family fall apart. Short fragments throughout the first war, in which Sirius is one year older than Narcissa instead of her being older.
5. Making darkness in the day by slashmarks (@slashmarks) Explicit | 2589 words | Sirius lives AU
Summary: During the second war, Narcissa goes into hiding in Grimmauld Place and marries Sirius for the magical protection it offers. This is their wedding night.
6. Sirius Black’s Highland Fling by MarshmallowMcGonagall (@marshmallowmcgonagall) Explicit | 6309 words | Sirius lives AU
Summary: After the second war, Sirius is set to attend a muggle party in Harry’s stead and can think of no better person to accompany him than Narcissa. He takes her shopping, then dancing, and what’s a night out without a healthy dose of semi-public sex?
7. Black and Gold by MarshmallowMcGonagall (@marshmallowmcgonagall) Explicit | 2080 words | Background Lucius/Narcissa
Summary: Sirius has been cursed with the curse of Echo, leaving him unable to speak beyond copying others’ words until the person he loves kisses him. Naturally, he heads to Narcissa for help. Naturally, she makes him wait for it.
8. Weight of Silence by hazellepotter (@wandlores) Teen | 2100 words | Canon Compliant (ends with Sirius going to the ministry in OOTP)
Summary: Sirius during OOTP tells Buckbeak about how in love with Narcissa he once was, and why it didn’t work out. Includes a few flashbacks to sweeter moments between them, before everything fell apart and it's just very bittersweet.
9. Black Bones by devianthouseofblack Explicit | 5059 words | Background wolfstar and lucissa Warning: Underage (I believe Sirius is 16, Narcissa is older)
Summary: Sirius has run away from his family, Narcissa is engaged to Lucius Malfoy. She sees her family falling apart around her, and is determined to get Sirius back to their side. When other attempts at convincing him fail, she figures out a different way of showing him that his pleasure is his to take.
10. Silver Shackles and Rose Thorns by JustaDeadDove Explicit | 2936 words | Background Lucius/Narcissa Warning: Infidelity
Summary: Narcissa is engaged, so no one pays her any attention anymore now that she’s done the right thing. At a family gathering, she steals a few private moments for herself and Sirius is quick to take advantage of them by paying her all the attention she deserves.
11. Helpless by Thistlecat (@thistlecatfics) Explicit | 1970 words | Background Lucius/Narcissa
Summary: Sirius is cursed at a party and is immobilised. Narcissa finds him and does eventually help him, but first they take this as a great opportunity to have their way with each other. Healthy dose of mocking and bratting, too.
12. They Leave Us by Doshu (@vdoshu) Explicit | 5239 words
Summary: Angst and betrayal during the first war. Sirius is caught when he goes on an undercover mission because he's figured out who the spy is and of course Narcissa catches him. Lucky for him, because some beautiful hate sex ensues.
13. Your Cigarette Smell by Lumosatnight (@lumosatnight) Explicit | 9680 words | Background Lucius/Narcissa Warning: Canon-compliant MCD
Summary: Non-linear story spanning their relationship from when it starts durings the first war up until his death during the second. Beautiful, painful, hot, everything they’re supposed to be. Their push and pull ‘not being able to stay away from each other even when they want to’ dynamic really comes through here.
14. The Black Rose by DracoIgnis (@dracoignisworld) Explicit | 36,134 words | Background Lucius/Narcissa Warning: Implied? Canon-compliant MCD? But maybe not?
Summary: This is the fic the art work linked above is for! I will never not be a sucker for canon-compliant stories for these two, and this again spans the first and second wars and is just beautiful. It starts when they’re young, and ends with Narcissa finding out he’s been killed at the ministry, with some moments during both wars and in the time between him escaping prison and the second war starting!
15. The stars don’t shine, they burn by Mymblehowl (@st-clements-steps) Explicit | 6108 words | Background Lucius/Narcissa
Summary: This is a modern AU in which Narcissa is a lawyer, married to Lucius, and Sirius is trying to get custody of Harry instead of the Dursleys. Narcissa represents the Dursleys, and also Sirius has an OnlyFans account which she insists she only watches because it might be relevant to the case. She doesn’t quite stick to just watching his videos.
These are my recs for now! Obviously there are a lot more fics in the AO3 tag, but I’m a picky bitch with a bad memory and these are my absolute favourites so for now this is it. I hope you enjoy reading them!

HP Marauders Era Recs
Tumblr media
Nothing Fades Like the Light by @rollercoasterwords | 40k, Mature, Jegulus, Sirius
You run, Reggie. You run, and you keep on running. It's the last thing Sirius said to him, before he disappeared. And Regulus is trying—he's trying so, so hard. But he can only run for so long before he collapses, half-dead and delirious with exhaustion, in the middle of god-knows-where. He wakes up in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar house, staring at an unfamiliar man—a man who, inexplicably, and for the first time in years, makes Regulus feel as though he might finally be safe.
1890s cowboy AU with zombies and gorgeous prose.
she dreamt of him by @unspeakable3​ | 5k, Teen, Walburga, Black family
Orion Black died a fortnight ago. Between dreams, memories, her son and a Grim, Walburga persists.
Walburga character study trying to look with compassion at a pretty terrible person.
Wicked Wizards by imparfait  | 4k, Explicit, Wolfstar, James
I’ve been imagining a rimjob for so long I’ve forgotten what one looks like, it read. Help me fix this before I explode.
Everybody thinks James and Sirius are together. James' head is about to explode. This is hilarious and James & Sirius are such little shits in this. I love them.
Maybe This Time (alternatively: once more, with feeling!) by @wanderingdonut​  | 4,5k, General, Regulus, Inferi
Regulus has the time, resources, and the pure lack of fucks to indulge in a hitherto uncultivated passion
Inferi overlord Regulus living his best Elsa afterlife. Crack at its finest.
A Life Like This by @impishtubist​ | 14,5k, Mature, Jegulus, Wolfstar
James, Sirius, and Remus left the war and the magical world behind them at the age of seventeen. Twenty-three years later, the brother Sirius never knew he had tracks them down.
Married Wolfstar, domestic dad James, and age gap Jegulus. I am so soft for this universe.

Do you have any favourite fanfictions you've written?
yes i do!<3
there are so many i included asdfghjk i'm so sorry! it was hard to pick, i'm proud of everything i write - ( edit: i completely forgot to mention but these are my favourite fics i've written for harry potter and the marauders not including my anime tumblr )
Tumblr media
my favourite fluff works of mine-
— james pining over chubby reader
he'd carry you with one hand all the way up a mountain if it would impress you and get you to notice him. i just love this man so much!! every single time i reread this i smile like crazy.
— "did i ever tell you how beautiful you are?" george x slytherin reader
"so you're in love with me," he remarked. you can hear his grin. the cogs turn in your brain as you remember what you told him. friends to lovers with george weasley??? aaahhh!! i love the pining!
— james overhears people being mean about his chubby girlfriend
"JUST LETTING THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW I HAVE THE BEST GIRLFRIEND EVER," he spins you around again and purposely makes sure those girls can see as he bombards your face with kisses. james loves his chubby girlfriend so much and ugh he just thinks the world of her!! he's the best!!
— best friend! james jealous over peter
when james spotted you sitting far to close to peter his eyes hardened and he gritted his teeth because you shouldn't be sitting close to peter, it's peter of all people. he's your best friend so what are you doing all close to peter like that for. best friend james is the best and i really like the readers relationship with the rest of the marauders, especially peter, and i love how james reacts to those relationships
— "did sirius black just wink at you?" sirius x chubby reader
you pretend to think his jokes are immature and his hair is ridiculous and everyone believes you, apart from the man himself. sirius has the reader all figured out and i love it!! he pays so much attention to her and notices how she really feels, it makes my heart go sryehsjtezserazx i love them
my favourite smut works of mine-
— thigh riding with boyfriend!neville
the whole time neville will be trying to help you with your exam next week you'll be wanting to snog him and find a quiet and dark place in the library to suck his dick. god boyfriend neville means so much to me!! neville is so boyfriend material and i love the whole soft dom vibe
— james with a mummy kink
a smirk appears on your face as you see your boyfriend with tears in his eyes desperately trying to do what he's told. "you want mummy to help you jamie. do y'wanna cum baby?" sub james makes me feel things and i am on my hands and knees thanking however sent in this kinktober concept because it's really hot
— poly!marauders with a somno kink/waking you up by eating you out
"you finally awake sweetheart?" he mumbles against you. combining two things i love more than anything, somno and poly marauders?? i have died and gone to heaven
— "i've missed you" fwb!james x chubby reader
you want more and james can tell by the way you grab hold tightly on his arm and at the same time his hair. you've always stayed away from touching his unruly hair, the main reason being that up close it looks so soft and you worry touching it would cross a boundary. they're both so smitten with each other and want more and i'm losing my mind when i think about it

HP Fic Recs 10-12
A fest fic: Kiss for the camera by @lucigoo is an adorable Harry/George fic. Banter, Quidditch, Harry taking care of Teddy...love it.
2. A dark fic: Stake in the Ground by MorsXMordrE. I am not a dark fic lover, but this story is so compelling, it pulled me right in. In an AU where Voldemort won, an OC named Alex wants to join the Death Eaters' cause. She also attracts the attention of Voldemort who decides he has to have her. Voldemort/OFC
3. A WIP you’re following: Hmm, ok. I'm following a few but I'm also trying not to be repetitive. So here's two that I don't think I mentioned previously but that I am really enjoying: Neon Moon by @krethes and I'll Be Home for Christmas by MsAlexWP. Both are Wolfstar, both are delightful in completely different ways.

HP Rec Fest - Day 28
Prompt: An underrated fic @hprecfest
All of them.
My rec list has more than 800 stories/artses, mostly about the older characters, and none of them has gotten the love they deserve. So for today's rec, I'd like to humbly suggest you take a look, find something that tickles your fancy (you can filter by character, pairing, author, rating, word count, etc.), read/view, and leave a nice note for the creator.

HPRecFest Day One!
Let's goooo!
Fic under 5k
Madame Pomfrey's Medical Notes (Gen, 4105 words)
So, it turns out this was harder than I'd anticipated, as all my friends and mutuals are wordy bitches.
But then I remembered this gem by the very wonderful Asphodel and Wormwood. It's hilarious, and I'm selfishly hopeful that if it gets some more attention, she'll finish writing the second year.
Summary
Poppy Pomfrey records her medical notes (and the odd humble opinion) as she tends to the staggering range of injuries that take place at a magical school.
Health and safety? What health and safety?

The Triumph of These Tired Eyes by AnarchicMuse 33/33 Chapters || Words: 324,570 || Completed || Harry Potter x Marvel Universe Crossover/Fusion
In the several millennia he had existed Loki Odinson, Norse God of Mischief and Lies, had been many things, he had been a liar, a warrior, and a trickster, just to name a few, but never before, in his thousands of years of existence had he been a loving father, but all it took was a single glance at the perfect little creature before him and he knew, he was gone.

Hugs with Ron Weasley would include
Pairing: Ron Weasley x fem!reader
Warning: no
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He definitely smells like cinnamon and citrus.
Loves it when you touch his hair during hugs.
Ron is quite a shy boy, so you were the first to hug him.
Then he was very confused.
His cheeks were pink with blush.
He won't be the first to hug you for a while.
Because he's shy.
But when he gets used to it.
At any moment.
Anytime.
Hugs from behind when you two are talking to someone.
Hugs before going to bed.
His hand is always on your shoulder or waist.
Sleeping with you in an embrace.
Puts his hand on your shoulder when you are sitting in the library.
If you study in Gryffindor.
Puts his hand on your shoulder when you have breakfast, lunch or dinner in the great hall.
Loves it when you hug him from behind.
He always blushes at such moments.
Warm hugs when he wraps you in a blanket.
When you feel bad, he doesn't rush to hug you.
Because he's afraid of making it worse.
But if you ask, he will be happy to support you and hug you.
If he feels bad, he won't ask you to hug him either.
But if you hug him at such a moment, his mood will noticeably improve.
Anyway, Ron likes to hug you.

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩
All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes. Please look at tags and warnings on ao3 before reading.
Harry Potter
The Ordeal of Being Known by louisfake
When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, there's unfortunately only one person in the country with the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It's obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Draco's never been able to back down from a challenge... especially from Potter.
Features fuzzy cartoon slippers, devious house elves, 90s music, and lots—LOTS—of memories. Ron is annoyingly hot, Hermione sees right through you, Harry is a powerful idiot, and Draco is a reclusive masochist that would buy an entire city if it would make a kid happy. (And Pansy is "5'2, I wanna dance with you, and I'm sophisticated fun.")
Super Mario Bros
Cooking Mama (Luigi)! by Little_RedHots_Riding_Hood
Luigi was having a perfectly peaceful stroll through the Toad Market - the sun was shining, he'd just found a lovely handmade blanket, and was on his way to the bakery before heading back to his and Mario's home.
Only... what was that sniffling noise from that dark, scary alleyway?
Of all the creatures he was expecting to find, the littlest prince of the Koopa Kingdom certainly wasn't it.
Star Wars
the tiger is out by elumish
Wolffe looks like he’s regretting having a second Jedi with them.
DC
Cryp-Tim by PrinceJakeFireCake
"The cons of dating Tim Drake were innumerous. For one, he was almost impossible to photograph, and so none of Kon’s friends at school actually believed he existed. His family was scary, horrifying really, and all of them seemed to find joy in making Tim regret ever being born. And Tim had charmed Ma and Pa Kent so thoroughly, they had ditched their shovel talk to instead coo at him and offer him pie and compliment him for fixing their tractor, so Kon was at a disadvantage when it came to intimidating someone with his family.”
Kon and Tim date. It goes pretty well, all things considered.
Tim Has a Hero Worship-y Crush on Every Robin Ever by PrinceJakeFireCake
"Tim as an adult was bad enough, Tim with no filter as a child was too much to be around."
Cork Board Contingencies by PrinceJakeFireCake
If you don’t use a cork board to obsessively plan contingencies for every possible way a date with your best friend can go, how can you go on a date at all?
Excerpt: “Are you free next Saturday?” Tim asked, pretty sure that Kon’s jumble of words was agreement that he wanted to date Tim.
“Maybe!” Kon exclaimed.
“Cool,” Tim commented, taking another sip of his drugged grape soda (“Dammit, Tim,” he mentally told himself. “Do not give in! Buy new grape soda! Stop drinking the drugged grape soda! I’ve shotgunned another can of drugged grape soda, haven’t I? Dammit, that makes five!”) then saying, “That gives me just enough time to pass out for fifty-two hours and plan our first date."
Immunology by JustGettingBy
Hypothetically speaking. Could a hybrid creature become suddenly not viable? Like say it survives being an embryo, makes it through growing up, and then just one day… stops? the text from Kon reads.
Tim’s heart spikes up through his ribs. Kon. What’s happening?
(OR Kon gets the flu. It becomes Tim's problem.)
Change of Plans by PrinceJakeFireCake
"Who’s your friend, Tim?” the voice asked.
Jason hissed. This was his baby! Not his friend!
“Sorry, sorry,” the voice hastened to apologize. “I mean, who’s your parent, Tim?”

Squash!!!! <3 <3 <3
For the fic recs ask meme: 📚&👌🏼& 📆
hiya scarlet!!! ooh those are some good ones!! <3
📚 A fic you wish you could display on your bookshelf
Almagest by eldritcher!! It's actually on my bookshelf.
Pairings - Harry/Voldemort, past Dumbledore/Voldemort. 130000 words.
Probably the most imaginative fic I have read in this fandom. Searing, searing, romantic, gritty, horrifying, beautiful, intense. Celestial also because they are on the moon for like half of the fic. Also road trip on steroids with Dumbledore kidnapping Harry and then trapping Voldemort and taking them with him to steal a Russian space shuttle from Baikonur for reaching the moon. Beautiful fic which is essentially a lyrical meditation on grief and love. My forever favorite Voldemort and Dumbledore characterizations I have read. One of my favorite Harry characterizations I have read. Also kinky. Also smutty. Also one of the most opinionated takedowns of government surveillance. A lot of eldritcher fics have that secret anarchist vibe but this one is revolutionary on top of it. Dumbledore is dismantling government surveillance and they are actually on the wanted list by like three governments iirc.
👌🏼 A fic someone else recommended to you
We'll Take a Cup of Kindness Yet by dueltastic! The PERFECT holiday seasonal fic. Aberforth/McGonagall/Snape. 24000 words.
This fic was recommended to me by @perverse-idyll. It's beautiful, healing and leaves you with gorgeous seasonal vibes. Hits the classic holiday themes about Found Family/Love/Forgiveness/Reconciliation and executes everything amazingly. Probably one of my favorite Aberforth Dumbledore characterizations in fic. Great pacing, great prose, great everything really. It's a must read for me during the holiday season. <3
It's also got a great artwork by @my--witch. Highly recommend!!! <3
📆 A fic you’d re-read 10 years from now
When the Rose and the Fire Are One by @perverse-idyll. Snarry. 82000 words.
So I read this fic for the first time more than 10 years ago! Also rereading it annually ever since. That fic has the Snape for me. Also my favorite Snarry of all time. <3 It's my favorite fic by the author. Definitely confident I am going to continue rereading. I can quote a lot of lines from the fic. Also I have some points where I have a schedule to take coffee breaks or walks during the fic. Also know when I am going to cry. The Ron scenes and also the plumbing scenes.
"The Professor's nothing but skin and bones! Never would've pegged you for the kind who tortures prisoners - " Harry's mouth fell open, and his stomach cramped with shame. " - but you've been standing by, watching him starve to death. Worse, I gave you the means to do it, you disgusting little twat!"
It's a long weekend read for me. So I normally do 3+3+2 chapters split for the long weekend. So yeah. I not only read the fic but also have a Process for it. Which is maybe TMI. Sorry.

Happy birthday to the one and only @writcraft! I know you probably feel this year hasn’t been as productive as you’d like fandom-wise, so this is both a reminder and a token of appreciation, a short rec list that hopes to highlight a little bit of your immense contribution to fandom. This is ofc 100% self-indulgent and my picks might be a bit too obvious - I doubt that anyone who’s been around for a while hasn’t heard of these classics before, but those who are new to the fandom (or just new to Writ’s works - I’m so jealous!) might enjoy this “starter pack” with my personal selection of must-reads.
There’s a little bit of everything: Drarry, Snarry, femslash, dark fic, kinky fic, angst with a happy ending, romcom, hurt/comfort. No matter the tone or trope, they’re not only perfectly thought out and executed but they also deliver profound human experiences that resonates within, and thought-provoking explorations of romance, queerness and hope. I have often wondered how Writ could be so prolific over the years, always impressing me with such flawless depth of characterization across different ships. Now I realize this comes from the amount of passion and research they pour into their work. Writ commits to fandom - and to writing - both intellectually and emotionally, bringing together their creative, fannish, militant and intellectual sides like nobody else can do. This combination breathes life and heart into every love story they create, making them all bright and unique, inspiring universal emotions while remaining deeply personal.
Writ, I cannot thank you enough for being such a kind, witty and welcoming friend, always up to discuss fandom meta, gritty fic plots, old and new ship obsessions, dog parenting, queer & pop culture references! I learn so much from you and it’s a privilege (and a delight) to have someone to share both silly and deep, insightful convos with. Becoming friends with you - an author I’ve been admiring and looking up to for so many years now - still feels a bit surreal but it’s easily one of the best parts of 2022/2023 for me. I hope you enjoy your day to the fullest, and have an amazing time celebrating with yours. Happy birthday my friend! 💜

Marauders Femslash Recs (Dorcissa)
Tumblr media
Dorcas/Narcissa is my absolute favourite femslash ship at the moment, and since @midnightelite asked me for some fic recs the other day, I decided to format them into an actual rec list!
These are all Dorcas/Narcissa, with their rating, WC, and warnings, and summaries and thoughts for the longer fics. I didn't include my own dorcissa fics, but those are on AO3 here and here!
The list is under the cut!
wishing on broken stars by evawrites (@evadwrites)
20,000 words | 2023 | Rated Teen Summary: And maybe, if Narcissa was brave like Andromeda or fearless like Bella, something would have happened sooner; maybe, Dorcas would have made her burn brighter in all the years before instead of burning her out on their last night. The world was full of maybes, and Dorcas Meadowes was Narcissa’s biggest one. Other notes: Gorgeous first war AU, I’m biased because this was a birthday present for me, but Eva’s writing is incredible and I love the way she writes Dorcas.
dancing in new york, no shoes by evawrites
2222 words | 2023 | Rated General Summary: Dorcas Meadowes—a fiercely soft, beautiful mess Narcissa Black can’t help but love. Or: Narcissa moves to New York, falls in love with Dorcas, finds family in Mary and Marlene, and then goes back to England to steal a baby, reconnect with her estranged sister, and break her cousin out of prison. The Dark Lord works hard, but Narcissa Black works harder. She is certainly more competent than Wizengamot, too. Other Notes: Not a modern AU, beautifully insane and dynamic First War AU, found family to the max.
Artistry by pansystan (storytellerdorian)
1637 words | 2017 | Rated General Summary: Narcissa was certain she’d never seen this girl before, and yet she strolled into the small, on-campus Starbucks and made easy conversation with the rumpled looking barista as though she’d done it a thousand times before. She couldn’t help but notice that this girl was both very pretty and very out of her league. Other notes: Delightful little coffeeshop AU, Narcissa is perfectly herself even in a modern AU and we love that bitch for it.
you’re only special because I made you so by phobos_irl
4366 words | 2021 | Rated Teen Summary: Narcissa fell in love with Dorcas, long ago. but she could not give up her family, not even for love, not even because of their rotten beliefs. but then Andromeda does, she gives it all up, for the same reasons she couldnt. what keeps her, then ? Other Notes: It’s a past relationship, Narcissa regrets her choices and wishes she’d been braver, there’s angst, there’s a much needed conversation with Andromeda (it’s a big focus in the fic!), it’s great.
can no longer hold on by sweet sapphic pickles (picklesonsaturday) (@picklesonjupiter)
790 words | 2023 | Rated Teen Summary: Dorcas and Narcissa have a secret relationship because she is engaged to Lucius Malfoy. Other Notes: It’s sad, and it’s so sweet, and then it still ends sad. Stolen moments that get a little tarnished because you know in the end your lover’s always gonna go back to her Proper life.
Fire In The Dungeons by amidsthechaos
1203 words | 2018 | Rated General Summary: Narcissa and Dorcas take a night time stroll through the castle. Other Notes: Dorcas sets a fire, Narcissa has to stay in the Gryffindor dormitory with her, and of course that’s where they have their first kiss! Genuinely so cute.
In Common by herochick007 (@herochicklyrrie007)
347 words | 2023 | Rated Teen Summary: Dorcas hears someone making fun of Narcissa, she deals with it. Other Notes: Sneaky and defensive Dorcas is the best Dorcas. Some guys are spreading rumours, Dorcas deals with them in a fitting way. Narcissa, obviously, love her for it. It’s so sweet.
The following are some gorgeous microfics (fics 200 words or shorter) about dorcissa that I love to death:
at what cost by sweet sapphic pickles (picklesonsaturday): General, 100 words, happy ending Hearts Apart by RottenPleasures (@caitiewantstobeavadakedavrad): Teen, 119 words, MCD, hurt/no comfort lemon orchard by sweet sapphic pickles (picklesonsaturday): General, 85 words, fluff, lemons (the actual fruit) living is sacrifice by sweet sapphic pickles (picklesonsaturday): General, 64 words, MCD, Grief Morning, Sunshine by RottenPleasures: General, 48 words, domestic fluff regret is oversteeped tea by sidewave (@padaminpadam): General, 50 words, break up
