This Week (x2) in Tomarrymort (18 – 31 May 2025)

A wonderful end to May, including a handful of excellent new fics to check out in the ship tag! 

First up, a recently completed fic rec:

⭐ Until there’s nothing left but what I made you by @goldenzingy46 (M, 16k, complete) 

Tom and Harry Potter-Riddle were married in a suburban town, where all the houses were terraced and the exact same shade of white, tidy wooden boarding along the front. The front gardens were bright green lawns, no weeds, of course, and a white picket fence. Harry's husband was the mayor of Hogsmeade, where Harry had lived all his life, and his life was perfect. So why was he getting nightmares? Why did his smile flicker and waver? Why did he always say the wrong thing?

Why you should read it: I loved how unsettling this fic was from beginning to end. Right away, you get a sense of wrongness about the picture-perfect suburban setting that Harry and Tom live in, and it’s so delightful how all the layers start to unfold until the horror story at the center of this fic becomes revealed. Awesome, very cinematic ending too!

(you have to be perfect) Tom was the stone-cold, hard as nails ballet instructor, tasked with putting together the best performances for the most famous of stages. Harry was the no-name ballet dancer good enough to make it onto Tom's team. Tom didn't like training no-names, not at all. But something about the way Harry danced enticed him.

This chapter: The tour floats by like a dream, and then Tom has a job offer for Harry.

Fic authors are actually whores desperate for ppl to ask them about their aus

[goldenzingy46butwriteblr]

my dream as a fanfic writer is for one day, one of my fics to be someones comfort fic. like the fic that they reread when they don't feel good and want to be happy. i want my words to comfort someone one day

[goldenzingy46butwriteblr]

wishing I could freeze time so fanfic writers could write all of their slow-burn enemies to lovers and gay porn and fix-it fics and all of their WIPs and prompts without having to worry about life and other responsibilities

This tool is optional. No one is required to use it, but it's here if you want to know which of your AO3 fics were scraped. Locked works were not 100% protected from this scrape. Currently, I don't know of any next steps you should be taking, so this is all informational.

Most people should use this link to check if they were included in the March 2025 AO3 scrape. This will show up to 2,000 scraped works for most usernames.

Or you can use this version, which is slower but does a better job if your username is a common word. This version also lets you look up works by work ID number, which is useful if you're looking for an orphaned or anonymous fic.

If you have more than 2,000 published works, first off, I am jealous of your motivation to write that much. But second, that won't display right on the public version of the tools. You can send me an ask (preferred) or DM (if you need to) to have me do a custom search for you if you have more than 2,000 total works under 1 username. If you send an ask off-anon asking me to search a name, I'll assume you want a private answer.

In case this post breaches containment: this is a tool that only has access to the work IDs, titles, author names, chapter counts, and hit counts of the scraped fics for this most recent scrape by nyuuzyou discovered in April 2025. There is no other work data in this tool. This never had the content of your works loaded to it, only info to help you check if your works were scraped. If you need additional metadata, I can search my offline copy for you if you share a work ID number and tell me what data you're looking for. I will never search the full work text for anyone, but I can check things like word counts and tags.

Please come yell if the tool stops working, and I'll fix as fast as I can. It's slow as hell, but it does load eventually. Give it up to 10 minutes, and if it seems down after that, please alert me via ask! Anons are on if you're shy. The link at the top is faster and handles most users well.

On mobile, enable screen rotation and turn your phone sideways. It's a litttttle easier to use like that. It works better if you can use desktop.

Some FAQs below the cut:

"What do I need to do now?": At this time, the main place where this dataset was shared is disabled. As far as I'm aware, you don't need to do anything, but I'll update if I hear otherwise. If you're worried about getting scraped again, locking your fics to users only is NOT a guarantee, but it's a little extra protection. There are methods that can protect you more, but those will come at a cost of hiding your works from more potential readers as well.

"I don't want to know!": This tool is 100% optional. If you don't want to know, simply don't click the link. You are totally welcome to block me if it makes you feel more comfortable.

"Can I see the exact content they scraped?": Nope, not through me. I don't have the time to vet every single person to make sure they are who they say they are, and I don't want to risk giving a scraped copy of your fic to anyone else. If you really want to see this, you can find the info out there still and look it up yourself, but I can't be the one to do it for you.

"Are locked fics safe?": Not safe, but so far, it appears that locked fics were scraped less often than public fics. The only fics I haven't seen scraped as of right now are fics in unrevealed collections, which even logged-in users can't view without permission from the owner.

"My work wasn't a fic. It was an image/video/podfic.": You're safe! All the scrape got was stuff like the tags you used and your title and author name. The work content itself is a blank gap.

"It's slow.": Unfortunately, a 13 million row data dashboard is going to be on the slow side. I think I've done everything I can to speed it up, but it may still take up to 10 minutes to load if you use the second link. It's faster if you can use desktop or the first link, but it should work on your phone too.

"My fic isn't there.": If it was published after March 15th, 2025, that was likely after all of the scraping took place. Otherwise, from what I can tell so far, the scraper's code just... wasn't very good, so most likely, your fic was missed by random chance. I am continuing to look for methods to reduce the chances of a work getting scraped anyway, and I will share on this blog if/when I find something that works. For older fics, I've seen chapters published up to March 21st included in the dataset.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the cost to host the tool! I appreciate you so so so much. As of this edit, I've received more donations than what I paid to make this tool so you do NOT need to keep sending money. (But I super appreciate everyone who did help fund this! I just wanna make sure we all know it's all paid for now, so if you send any more that's just going to my savings to fix the electrical problems with my house. I don't have any more costs to support for this project right now.)

(Made some edits to the post on 17-May-2025 to update information!)

[goldenzingy46butwriteblr]

other people have said this before but I just received a message along these lines so it bears repeating: it is NOT AT ALL WEIRD for readers to comment on every chapter of a WIP fic!! in fact it is HUGELY ENCOURAGING to the author! PLEASE do so! you are being the OPPOSITE of annoying!!

[goldenzingy46butwriteblr]

"I didn't comment on a fic I liked because I don't think the author would care or remember my comment anyway". fanfic writer here, I still remember comments I got on my fics from seven years ago. I still think about them and they still make me smile. your kind comments are what motivates us and what helps us keep writing.

I personally know writers who take screenshot and print out comments they got from their readers.

TL;DR comments matter to us writers more than you think. if you like a fanfic, never be shy to let the author know ♡

[goldenzingy46butwriteblr]

I hate having banger fanfic ideas. What do you expect me to do? Write them down????????????

Until there's nothing left but what I made you

Alternate Universe - Muggle, Alternate Universe - Suburbia, Alternate Universe - Age Changes, Alternate Universe - Horror, Alternate Universe - Small Town, Horror, Inhuman Tom Riddle, Dark, Psychological Horror, Mindfuck, Mind Games, Monster Tom Riddle, Possessive Tom Riddle, Obsessive Tom Riddle, Thriller, Angst, Minor Character Death, Child Death, Gaslighting, Established Harry Potter/Tom Riddle, Married Harry Potter/Tom Riddle, Ambiguous/Open Ending​

"They're drugging you. Luna knew. Run."  And Harry did. But you can only run so far from Tom Riddle, and you can't run from the monster in the dark: Tom's inner demon, Voldemort.

Tom and Harry Potter-Riddle were married in a suburban town, where all the houses were terraced and the exact same shade of white, tidy wooden boarding along the front. The front gardens were bright green lawns, no weeds, of course, and a white picket fence. Each driveway had a single car and two bicycles on it, and Tom and Harry had recently adopted a child called Ginny, who was six. Harry had three friends, and two supportive parents. His husband was the mayor of Hogsmeade, where Harry had lived all his life, and his life was perfect. So why was he getting nightmares? Why did his smile flicker and waver? Why did he always say the wrong thing?

This is, finally, after three years, complete <3
