Bookbinding Adventures: 'Running on Air' & 'The Mountains Eat the Stars' by eleventy7
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Running on Air & The Mountains Eat the Stars by @tinyhistory (eleventy7), Harry Potter, Draco/Harry
Draco Malfoy has been missing for three years. Harry is assigned the cold case and finds himself slowly falling in love with the memories he collects.
There's something tremendously unique about this series: how Draco's struggle (quite literally) embodies the liminal; how Harry's investigation and encounters with Draco describe the space around emotions that are difficult to capture, like grief and longing, exhaustion, loneliness and determination; how their journey shows love as something quiet and patient and built on shared experiences and effort. I never would've thought a story framed by the loss of self could be so comforting.
For the title page I decided on a motif that ties both stories together (mountains and stars) and used a vintage star chart and a mountain graphic from etsy to create a compass-like image that points toward the constellation Draco. It was a lot of fun and I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

I had some difficulty with the bookcloth (great difficulty, actually, but we won't get into that), which is very thin and shows every imperfection, but it sure is shiny and golden. :P And it looks quite nice with the green.

Thanks to the @renegadepublishing crew for your advice and inspiration and friendship, and thank you to @tinyhistory for permission to share this project. I highly recommend this tremendous story. I'd gladly hand it to somebody if I were ever asked "so why do you bind fanfiction?"

i need a list of the most unhinged drarry fics you've read with wild premises or events pls and ty
What an interesting ask! I think my picks here are very subjective - I went for spooky vibes and plots that blew my mind in general - but now I think about it, all these are among my all-time favourite fics. I hope they work for you!
Basement Level 9 by @fw00shy (M, 2k)
Draco was behind the bomb that blew up Level 10, though they didn't talk about it.
Not Waving by @sweet-s0rr0w (M, 3k)
Draco and Harry have been together for a few weeks now, and everything's going swimmingly. Or is it?
The Other Cottage by @corvuscrowned (T, 6.5k)
If Pansy wasn’t shagging Ginny Weasley, Draco would never have been dragged to Luna’s ridiculous Halloween party in the first place - meaning he wouldn't be sitting in the corner of the room with Harry Potter all night.
Doppelganger by @writcraft (M, 7k)
It was just a silly dare, but one ill-advised trip into the Forbidden Forest changes Harry’s life forever.

If an Injury Is to Be Inflicted by @shealwaysreads (E, 45k)

Do you know any "identity porn" Drarry fics where one of them has a secret identity?
Incoming power list bc I love identity tropes and stretched the definition all around!
Lettered by pir8fancier (7k)
Harry has a secret penpal, whose identity is as plain as the nose on his face. Except he's not wearing his glasses (sequel Lush Life).
Another Mask Behind You by lettered (116k)
Draco is a high-end prostitute who hides his identity. Harry unknowingly hires him. And then there is porn, questions about identity, domestic bliss, more porn, and truth as seen through a web of lies. (And then more porn. Seriously, if you don’t want sex scene after sex scene you probably shouldn’t read this. And please read the warnings.)
The Boy Who Only Lived Twice by @letteredlettered (54k)
Harry Potter is an Unspeakable. Draco Malfoy is the wizard who shagged him. Adventure! Intrigue! Secret identities, celebrities, spies! It's all right here, folks.
The Unbearable Burden of Caring by Tessa Crowley (22k)
Fifteen years after the War, Draco is a social recluse and award winning author. Harry is an auror who works too hard, ensuring his old war wounds never heal. They meet at a masque ball, unaware of each other's identities. In another situation, it would have been love at first sight. But for them, it would never be so simple.
Google drive link for all Gallaplacidia fics by @geesenoises
Exposure by GallaPlacidia (26k)
When Seamus uncovers Draco Malfoy’s camboy profile, he, Harry and Ron decide to anonymously book a private show so as to humiliate him later. Fascinated by Draco’s confidence, Harry keeps booking private shows under the disguise…
Code Name L by GallaPlacidia (32k)
Trainees at the Department of Mysteries are kept under an identity-obscuring spell for two years. Harry doesn't even know who it is he's been falling in love with all this time. He's nervous about the Reveal, but really, what's the worst that could happen? Feat. Damaged Draco Malfoy, damaged Harry Potter, damaged everybody. Also, spies & intrigue!
The Bucket List by GallaPlacidia (32k)
Draco will die in six months if he can’t get Harry Potter to fall in love with him. Since that’s not going to happen, he might as well spend his last days working through his Bucket List. Tap-dancing lessons? Rock climbing? Poetry-writing? Threesomes? Cocaine? Getting to know his adorable cousin, Teddy Lupin? Draco will try them all! Feat. Cheerily pessimistic Draco, devoted bitch queen Pansy Parkinson, and a Harry who can’t help but notice that something seems DIFFERENT about Draco, these days.
Freedom to be by @quicksilvermaid (169k)
Harry Potter is the Boy Who Lived. 12 years after the war, he’s become the Boy Who Lived For Everyone Else. He has the perfect wife. The perfect house. The perfect job. The perfect friends. Only nothing feels perfect. Until one day he stumbles across a club called Release and begins a journey of self-discovery that takes him to a very different place.
Who we are in the shadows by @quicksilvermaid (99k)
What happens when you’re forced to become the very thing you despise?
Ex-Auror Harry Potter, tossed out of the Ministry for something he had no control over, has been looking for a way back to his former life. When he comes across Draco Malfoy in the criminal underbelly of Wizarding London and in need of protection, Harry figures bringing him in to face the Ministry’s justice is his ticket back to everything he’s lost.
But nothing is exactly as it seems. Not even Harry himself. And as he gets drawn further and further into Malfoy’s world of honour and deception he finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew—about his childhood nemesis, the Ministry job he misses so much, and most of all, about himself.
What happens when you’re forced to see that you were wrong?
The Truth About Love by @amywaterwings (52k)
In which Draco is a high-powered magical divorce lawyer and Harry is the Unspeakable assigned to seduce him. It goes as well as one might expect.
Unspeakable by @slytherco (8k)
It's a universal truth that Draco Malfoy is an Arse Man—he doesn't hide it, what is more, he considers himself an exceptional connoisseur of male buttocks of all kinds and shapes. A problem arises when Draco develops a small, healthy obsession with a pair that belongs to his Unspeakable partner whose identity Draco is not supposed to learn. When the man turns out to be none other than Harry Potter, back in England after a long and mysterious absence, Draco finds himself out of his depth when strange and unforeseen feelings slowly add themselves into the mix.
The Last Day We Ever Close Our Eyes by @firethesound (43k)
When Draco Malfoy returns to the public eye by purchasing a run-down little antiques shop on Knockturn, Harry is convinced that he is up to something. It turns out that Harry is both very right and very wrong about that.
Develop, Stop and Fix by @onbeinganangel (15k)
In his five years in New York City, James Black has earned significant fame as a photographer. In fact, he's attracted the attention of London curator D. Black. Harry Potter uses a fake name and runs away. In a way, so does Draco Malfoy. How do these stories connect? It's quite simple: they're one and the same.
Dear Enemy by @gingertodgers (69k)
An anonymous benefactor makes a generous donation to Harry Potter’s School for Squibs in exchange for a weekly letter from the Boy Who Lived. What begins as a chore soon becomes the only outlet Harry has to talk about the war, love, life, hope, redemption, his renewed obsession with a certain blonde nemesis and how he really, honestly, believes that this will be the year Puddlemere United reclaim the Quidditch League Cup.
A Little Perseverance by @writcraft (19k)
Harry’s wand is dying and Draco’s flirtation with a magical matchmaking service is causing him no end of trouble. When Harry turns up at Draco’s shop looking for help, everything gets a lot more complicated.
Another Sun That's Brighter Still by Omi_Ohmy (26k)
Draco’s parents are trying to force him to marry – just because of some stupid family curse – but Draco isn’t willing to settle for second best. After rejecting one suitor too many, he’s handfasted to a stinky and ragged minstrel and sent off without a Knut to his name.
Dear Diary by AWickedMemory (20k)
// This can’t possibly go worse than the last time I kept a diary. //
After the war, Harry picks up a journal to write in… and it writes back. Luckily, it’s not a Horcrux on the other end this time.
Must Love Quidditch by dracosoftie (103k)
Through a series of emails from an online dating site, Harry thinks he's found his perfect match. Will the bond they've forged survive after their identities are revealed? H/D. Warnings for slash, language and explicit sexual content.
Quietus by November Snowflake (17k)
To save himself and his family, Draco must disappear in plain sight—of Harry Potter, that is.
Catch 22 by jad (49k)
As if NEWTS weren't enough, Dumbledore's gone and had another one of his 'bright ideas.' If all ends well, the Houses will be getting along in no time. Or according to Harry's correspondent, an Apocalypse will be in order. [OotP/HBP/DH disregarded]
Welcome to the Broom Closet by incapricious (23k)
Harry thinks he knows how his life will go: Become an Auror. Marry Ginny. Have a family. But then he sees an advertisement in the paper that no one else can see, and his life is turned upside-down. The Broom Closet: you can be anyone you want while you're there, but you won't remember it in the morning.
When It Alteration Finds by momatu (55k)
After the war, Harry left most of the Wizarding world behind and built a new life for himself in the Channel Islands. He opened a bakery and is happy with his life. Draco is a fiction author who writes under a penname, and he's currently suffering from writer's block. His agent suggests he try writing in a new environment and rents a cottage in the Channel Islands for him.
Kiss A Boy In London Town (And Other Intimate Misadventures of A Society Whore) by @femmequixotic (36k)
There's only one cardinal sin for a whore.
Vis-à-Vis-à-Vis by @vukovich (49k)
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.
Changing of the Guard by Lomonaaeren (210k)
Need a perfect stranger? Ask Metamorphosis. Harry Potter runs the business secretly and becomes whoever’s needed for each occasion. He’s not sure whether he should be more surprised, worried, or amused when Draco Malfoy comes to Metamorphosis and requests an actor who can play his boyfriend so that his parents will disown him. Yet Harry has even more dangerous choices after he creates Brian, Draco’s “perfect” boyfriend. Draco doesn’t know who Brian is, but he’s trying to find out—and now so is Harry.
The Magic Behind the Camera by oldenuf2nb (55k)
Magical Photographer Evan Peverell is an enigma, one magazine assistant editor Draco Malfoy finds fascinating. The 'rock star' photog, with his purple hair streak and assorted piercings, is not remotely Draco's type. And yet there's just something about him…
This Summer by Saras_Girl (39k)
This is a summery romantic comedy featuring my favourite ensemble cast, in which Harry is confused, Draco is Draco, and Hermione attempts to eat all the things.
Talk to Me by Saras_Girl (15k)
When the usual channels of communication are shut down, the most surprising people can find a way in. A strange little love story.
The Perfect Match by @nerdherderette (16k)
After a disastrous blind date lands him an unflattering headline in the Prophet, Harry's friends convince him that being a contestant on a wizarding dating show couldn't be any worse.
A Hop, a Skip and a Jump by @rockingrobin69 (22k)
Harry's finally reached the bottom. Took a while, but here he is, right where he should be. Miserable, angry, terrified, and most importantly, numb - isolating himself in Grimmauld Place seems the natural next step. Alone, all alone. Except for this pesky little problem.
The Critiquer by dysonrules (24k)
When Harry submits his cock photo to a renowned Cock Critiquer and gets a terrible review, he decides to take a photography class to hopefully improve his skills. WARNING: THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER OF VERY EXPLICIT MOVING COCK GIFS IN THIS FIC. They can be quite a shock to the system, so BE WARNED. Career Choices: Harry: Shiftless layabout; Draco: Cock Critiquer
Pseudo by dysonrules (23k)
Draco runs into an interesting man during a drunken night out. Pansy slips Draco's address to the man, not realising that the attractive fellow is actually Harry Potter in disguise. Things get a bit out of hand after that.
Meet Me at Midnight by @the-starryknight (56k)
Harry was beginning to wonder if he’d ever make anything again when Malfoy stormed through the door of Harry’s furniture shop. Now Harry’s got an impossible Ministry commission to finish, and even less energy than ever to deal with his elusive muse. That is, until he stumbles upon the surreal and beautiful world of a mysterious fae creature…
He Was He and I Was Bunny by @bryoneybrynn (37k)
The war is over and “eighth year” is about to begin at Hogwarts. But for Harry and Draco, nothing is quite the same. Harry’s looking for an escape, Draco’s looking for a friend. Does a little black bunny hold the answers for both of our boys?
Take These Lies by white_serpent (34k)
Repeatedly rejected by the Auror training programme, Draco Malfoy attempts an unorthodox method of gaining admission. Written for 2010 hd_fan_fair (travel), following scarlet_malfoy's prompt. Note: contains genderswap and dubious consent, both of which were requested in the prompt.
Pages of You by @wolfpants (101k)
Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He’s not ready. He really isn’t.
In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather’s bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he’s catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius’s business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire.
A story about trying to figure out who you are, where you’re going in life, and who you want to take along with you.

at the end of the day i feel bad for harry potter fans. they’re so limited to one ERA and characters that have already had seven books written about them.
where’s the fun in that?! too much canon, too many straight people, where’s the fun?!
they’ll never know true happiness until they go to the dark side. we have all the fun over here

Hello. I dunno if someone will answer me but I just had a thought or memory? About regulus in a cave and I think he gave a music box to sirius? That has his magical signature and it gives like a notif to sirius? Is there a fic that has a scene like that or? I really can't sleep without knowing if I've read something like that or just my imagination. Though I'm p.sure it's a fic. Please help me 😭😭😭

@writingamarie plans?
HCs I would love to see in a 'Potions Professor Regulus black' fic:
Note: I read regulus was great at DADA but I HC potions was a close-second & his favorite subject
.
.
.
-Regulus survives the inferi and goes into hiding. He sends an anonymous tip to the order about the horcruxes and peter being the mole.
-he continues to exchange anonymous info with dumbledore through kreacher. Eventually dumbledore is the first to figure out he's alive.
- The first order is able to defeat Voldemort in 1981
-Dumbledore vouches for regulus when he comes out of hiding. He continuosly offers him a position at hogwarts which he declines.
-Regulus had moved in with andromeda and ted after faking his death.
-after the war, Sirius and remus renovated and live at grimmauld place.
-Sirius often reaches out to regulus but always gets rejected, with his letters returned.
-Regulus never fully healed from his experience in the cave and suffers from ptsd/depression.
-after some convincing, Regulus takes the position as potions master in 1991. (Takes snape's place).
-alot of upper classmen vouch that he's a much better professor than Snape.
-Regulus is a black cat animagus
-Harry is sorted into slytherin and always writes home of how Professor black is one of his favorite professors.
-implied Drarry, with draco being close with his aunt andromeda too. Lucius serves time in azkaban and isnt able to set a bad influence.
-Regulus and Harry bond over quidditch and Reg gives him seeker tips.
-Draco is slytherin chaser and has a similar bond with James.
-lily and james divorce after the war but still remain friends.
-James and sirius become aurors, James being head auror.
-Remus still becomes DADA professor in 1993.
-Regulus is the one to help him with the Wolfsbane potion. They end of up bonding and becoming close friends.
-that same year, peter escapes from azkaban and the ministry still sends dementors to hogwarts.
-Sirius is assigned the auror to lead the mission of capturing peter.
-Sirius is able to reconnect with Regulus during his stay at hogwarts.
-it started out with them bonding (i.e, sirius annoying Regulus) through their animagus forms.
-Remus got tired of hearing rumors of a black dog and cat chasing each other around school grounds and forced them to start interacting normally.
-After being invited (Regulus prefers "harrassed") by sirius and harry about spending the holidays with them. Regulus finds himself falling in love with james and they start a relationship.
.
.
.
.
This honestly came out more like a whole story outline.

Ohhhhh. Be still my beating heart. Don't, don't do that. Why are you being considerate? I'm feeling euphoric by the fact that you put my feelings into consideration whether to let my thoughts all out in the open and decide to just keep our little interactions to ourselves. Don't do this to me Marie. Ohhhhh. 😭😭😭😭😭
So my brain is a little late on processing the part where you answered my questions but the other one is in private and I didn't understand what you meant so I tried scrolling through your blog and couldn't find my first 'ask' but I swear I saw that you replied. I then remembered you said 'privately' and my brain malfunctioned 😭😭😭😭
hahaha sorry for the confusion! 😭😭 i just wasn’t sure if you’d want your whole thought process out there for other people

Why do I relate to this? Argh.
I keep making my fic angsty and I don’t know how to stop. Every time I give Regulus happiness, I suddenly feel the need to delve him into despair. I’m so sorry, Reggie. ily.
