why would you attribute draco being unable to cast a patronus to him having an awful childhood and therefore no happy memories to pull from when it is soooooo much more interesting to explore the idea that he's someone who was so uncomplicatedly happy for so long that he didn't value those moments enough and when he DID finally gain perspective through suffering he was so traumatised that he struggled to remember anything except the bad things

like is it easier to say lucy bad draco sad case closed yeah but is it also the most boring shit in the world. mmmyeah

Part 1. What does the mirror show?

Can’t post here a second part, so I think it will be somewhere else~

Hi everyone! I’m desperately trying to find a post-war Drarry fic I read on AO3 last year. It was angsty, semi-toxic, and heartbreakingly beautiful—but I lost it when my browser crashed. Here’s what I remember:

Key Plot Points:

- Ginny died in the war (AU) → Harry becomes emotionally detached, sleeps around.

- Pining!Draco is a alchemist who spends years chasing Harry. They eventually enter a one-sided relationship where Harry demands Draco can’t interfere with his hookups(😭).

- Secretly tender moments:

- Draco crafts a Patronus-like silver stag via alchemy that whispers “I love you” and nuzzles his fingers—he only takes it out when Harry’s gone. Later, he destroys it during their breakup.

- He casts a hidden ring charm on Harry’s finger (discovered later; Harry lashes out but lowkey loves it).

- Devastating breakup: Harry burns their photo album over a misunderstanding, says “I don’t care about you,” and leaves to hook up with someone. Draco listens to the stag’s last “I love you”, tears up, and shatters it.

- Draco leaves magic behind: He moves to Muggle Germany, surrenders his wand, and vanishes. Nine months later, Harry (now a mess) tracks him down while investigating a **Death Eater-related murder** (false accusation?).

Details I Remember:

- Title vibe: Might include “Only Sex Without Love” (was in the summary?).

- Word count: 100k-200k.

- Harry: Pro Quidditch player, emotionally wrecked.

- Draco: Alchemist, painfully patient, goes full “ I’d rather lose magic than keep loving you” mode.

Help?

If this rings any bells— PLEASE drop the title/author/link! I’ve searched every tag combo on AO3 (Post-War, Angst, Pining Draco, Alchemy, etc.) but no luck. Even vague hints would save my sanity!

Microfic May: "Coffee"

Potter empties a sugar into his coffee and sets the little stir-stick swirling with a wave of his fingers. Draco tries to focus on something innocuous: the dusting of dark hair on Potter’s knuckles as he grips the mug. The silvery scar stretched across the back of his hand. He tries not to remember the way it had felt: Potter’s fingers breaching him, twisting him open as Draco clutched his wide shoulders. Tries and fails not to think about Potter’s big hands holding his hips as he pressed inside, a groan tearing from both their throats. Most of all, he tries not to see last week’s headlines. The photos. The ring. Draco recrosses his legs, takes a sip from his own cup. The coffee here is shit. But Potter asked him to meet, and Draco’s as weak as this fucking cappuccino. It’s been nearly two weeks. Two weeks, and no word. Draco had cycled from eagerness to disappointment to fury at not hearing from Potter again.  And then the papers. He focuses now on the anger coiling in his belly, hoping to dispel the despair that threatens to bury him. He’d thought… but of course it doesn’t matter now what he’d thought.  Potter clears his throat. He levels Draco with that green stare, the verdant colour stealing his breath. He raises a hopefully-impassive brow. “I’m calling things off,” Potter says. Draco closes his eyes.  “Draco.” Warm fingers touch his arm. “With Gin. I’ve been an idiot. It’s always been you.”

Day 3 of the unofficial Microfic May by @peachydreamxx and @uncannycerulean Thank you to @the-forbidden-forest for the alpha read!

Okay now that I know you match my freak on this I’ll show my face lmao.

To clarify, I was specifically thinking about Damen/Laurent. Other cp pairings don’t exist to me lol. Me saying maybe it’s hard to make it work for them was incase anyone thought I was being too unrealistic lmao.

I personally have thought of so many different ways it could work with them. It consumes my thoughts too often lol.

For starters, Laurent was tossed aside because he aged. Even knowing it was abuse by his uncle I think it’s a given he would still be scared of being discarded like he meant nothing again. I don’t think his trust in Damen would completely diminish that fear, at least not at first. So I could see Laurent not safe wording when he should and ending up hurt because he didn’t want to give Damen a reason to tire of him.

And that’s just scratching the surface! I see so many ways it would work and you talking about Dom-space gets me so excited, esp what you said about Damen trusting Laurent because yes!!! How do they even being to unravel all that, the “I’m hurt but I’m more worried about how I hurt you” type thing. It’s so messy and complicated and I want to read it nowww.

I think about both canon and modern a lot. I can’t decided which I would prefer but I can stay I think about it in canon the most. I like the idea of them having to figure things out without resources on bdsm. Not to mention they’re kings in canon so there’s all the added stress of that on their shoulders. A nice little cocktail problems lol.

There’s also the fact that Damen knows about the abuse in canon and probably doesn’t in modern at first, that can really switch the whole thing up a lot.

I feel like there’s so much that could be done with this trope. I’m glad you think about it too because I was starting to feel like the outlier lol

When I do see it in fics it’s usually resolved so quickly. And I sit there like nooo, drag it out please. I need the angst, a deep dive into the real stuff. This is why you always come to mind when I think about it! The way your stories unravel is always so natural and realistic I know for a fact you’d write it the best. I love getting inside your characters heads and being able to relate to them idk what kinda magic you put in them but I’m betting it’s all that projecting <3

Hey Holly, going anon because I’m scared this is a weird ask…

Since you’re so good at writing angst I was wondering if you’ve ever considered writing bdsm gone wrong in any of your stories? Like both characters not really knowing what they’re doing and someone ends up hurt mentally or even physically. Lots of overthinking, misunderstandings, etc. Or maybe you hate that and it’s just too much? Feel free to say if so.

I really do love observant Damen so maybe it’s hard to make it work with Damen/Laurent but I find myself hunting for this trope a lot. Ik there’s not really any bdsm in canon but I think there’s a lot of moments in the trilogy where we could sense Laurent had certain thoughts or fears about sex and didn’t say anything (maybe that’s just my interpretation). Also maybe I relate to wanting to please someone at my own detriment so I wanna read about my fav characters doing it and cry.

I like the angst that it brings and watching it all get pulled slowly back together. I think it just makes the happy ending that much better. And there does HAVE to be a happy ending lol.

I hope this ask makes sense 😅 I guess I’m really just wondering if you like that trope (is that the word for it?) If you’ve ever held yourself back from writing it because you didn’t know how it would be received?

I’m sorry this ask is so long and random lol.

Hey my love, don't apologise, I love this kind of ask, don't be scared, I'm so balls out you can literally ask me anything, I promise my head and real life is weirder haha. There's no such thing as too much here!

And I could talk about BDSM all day long. Especially with Damen/Laurent.

To answer your question bluntly: yes.

Yes, I have considered it. Like a hundred times. BDSM takes place in the mind first and foremost, the sex is a small part of it and for a lot of people not a part of it at all. So BDSM "going wrong" -or safewording out, pushing too far, it not hitting for one or both/all- is kind of inevitable at some point, especially if those involved are misinformed or new to the scene or aren't communicating properly. Plus there are different issues that come with different dynamics. Is it strictly a BDSM relationship? Do they play with other people? Do they have romantic partners? Is it a 24/7 dynamic? If it's monogamous and committed how do they work it into their real life (esp if set in canon)

So yes, big fat yes I love this idea.

I love observant Damen too but I would only write something this intensive for Damen/Laurent so unfortunately if you're thinking of a different pairing I probably won't be writing that lmao

I do think it could work with Damen/Laurent though tbf, i'm thinking about Damen in the baths in book 1 where Laurent manipulates him and he doesn't recognise Laurent isn't flirting (because Laurent did want Damen to think it was sexy but he was also not into it, you know?) That Damen could make some mistakes.

So could a Damen who trusts Laurent to be honest with him... only to be gutted when Laurent wasn't and ended up getting hurt because of it.... you know?

And tbh no matter how observant or in-tune with someone you are shit happens. You can get carried away, Dom-space isn't talked about nearly enough tbh. There's so much I want to write about it, like, weaving in and bastardising my own experiences, to give it a sprinkle of reality haha

But yes I agree about Laurent, pretty sure I wrote a whole lengthy canon-sub-Laurent-meta on here some time ago lmao so I definitely read him that way too and definitely have 10000 thoughts on what Laurent is thinking. I'm not projecting... lmao

But yes, I am a HEA girly, and yes, this does make a lot of sense and it's crazy because I've been thinking about it a lot.

I have NO idea how it would be received, but then I thought ATKH would be badly received and people have been very kind, so I am a terrible judge and I don't let perception stop me from writing what I want to write.

My only thing I keep getting stuck on is canon or modern?

Like, terminology/apparatus/acts and stuff would be so much better in a modern verse but there is something so enticing from a character study POV about canon verse haha

Do you have a preference?

Also thank you for thinking I write angst well, I appreciate it 💕💕

listen, i enjoy a two-faced malfoy

just malfoy talking to potter all the time its my jam

Anyone else not care if a character is “redeemable” even a little. Either they get better or they die terrible. I am not Anubis, weighing their hearts against a feather. I wanna see what else they can do and how they can grow or change or even get worse. Stop asking me if a character can be forgiven. I don’t care.

Spring Term. Harry's off to teach DADA, but he'll have his Floo set up and ready for Draco to crawl through by the evening.
