It’s been a while since I’ve posted something, so here it is.

[aria-dunn]

I reread matched set by astolat and the scene where McGonagall has tea with Draco and Harry slays me. Working on a little illustration:

McGonagall was staring at them both now. Draco, who’d gone completely rigid, abruptly gave a small helpless movement like a shrug and put his arm round Harry’s back, as if he’d decided he might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. “Headmistress McGonagall was just asking about the repairs to the North façade,” he said coolly. “I was explaining the difficulty in matching the color of the weathered stone.” ——matched set, by astolat

“Down boy”

Or- the one where Draco is The head aurors secretary and despite seeing werewolf Harry everyday he can’t help but push his buttons.

This Blog Is Unrepentantly Pro- AO3!

This blogger remembers when we didn’t have AO3.

This blogger remembers when we had to put disclaimers at the head of our fics and pray that someone didn’t take it into their heads to sue us for what we created.

This blogger remembers brilliant artists and writers getting decades of work obliterated on LJ because someone who wanted to tell people what they were allowed to create went running to someone who wanted a profit, and told them the artists and writers had been naughty.

This blogger remembers just how hard the creators of AO3 worked to build the thing we all seem to take for granted now.

This blogger watched friends dive into the creation process so heartily and determinedly that they all but disappeared from the writing/gaming/artistic side of their fandom for YEARS while they worked to make the archive happen.

This blogger remembers the sense of giddy wonder that there would possibly be LAWYERS involved, willing to defend our right to create these works, and not leave us hanging at the mercy of corporate legal teams.

This blogger is aware that she reads between twenty to fifty books’ worth of material every year on AO3, and is never REQUIRED to pay a penny for the privilege of getting access.

This blogger is aware that she will not ever see advertisements on AO3, and that her personal data and reading preferences won’t be sold to advertisers in order to raise the money that AO3 needs to pay for the services they provide.

This blogger is aware that AO3 is, and has always been, a labor of love; by fans, for fans, and not for profiting off fans – and this is what makes it unique in the whole of the media universe.

This blogger has NEVER taken AO3 for granted, and has ALWAYS been damned glad to have access to it.  Even in years when this blogger didn’t have the means to support it financially.

NETFICS!

This is a combination of the three things I love most: fic, editing and netflix ❤️  The idea popped into my head and I went for it before realizing I would have to make covers FOR ALL THESE FICS??? I have no words for how much I enjoyed myself while I was making this, just - no words. For the names of the categories I tried to go with ones that netflix actually does have!

Here’s a list of every fic included, they are all wonderful, mind-blowing, gorgeous pieces that I love dearly!!! The downside of the format is that I can’t gush properly, but believe me, every single fic in here will make you vibrate with how good it is.

4. Inside Your Mind - @lazywonderlvnd

5. Kiss me in the doorway - @primavera-cerezos

1. What we pretend we can’t see - gyzym

2. Embers - @shiftylinguini

God I love that moment in Drarry fic when Harry’s like “wow, who will be my partner/helping me with this task/is the expert I need/owns the new shop I want to frequent” and Draco rolls up like

Literally will never get old.
