Very late on this but following tradition here’s a birthday rec post to celebrate our kind, brilliant and inimitable @lqtraintracks! It’s not a secret that I’ve loved LQT’s works for over a decade and am beyond grateful for everything they’ve done for the fandom, for Drarry, and for my fave rare pair. I love using any excuse to rec LQT but after many lists and recs it was a challenge to come up with something I hadn’t done before. Since they’re impressively prolific (how lucky are we?!) I thought of bringing together new gems recently posted and beloved old faves, Drarry and rare pair galore as it should be! So come and feast on another self-indulgent and slutty Liv list, my specialty 😌 Thank you my friend for being a steady, joyful, welcoming presence in the fandom, for gracing us with so many brilliant reads, for introducing me to my favorite rare pair (my whole heart belongs to your Hardy) and for bringing to life the perfect Teddy Lupin - your characterization remains my ultimate headcanon for him even after all these years. I hope you’ve had an incredible day!!! 💜
5 new rare pair fics to read:
🚗 destination unknown (M, 1.2k) - Teddy/James
They’re taking a trip together; they’re falling in love, or already there.
🧨 ballroom, close hold: five, six, seven, eight (E, 1.4k) - Fred/George
If there are two things that don’t go together, it’s sex pollen and going into heat. Or maybe they do go together and it’s just a matter of perspective.
📷 collarbones like a bow, skin an arrow to the heart (E, 4k) - Ginny/Pansy
Gin’s adjusting the lighting for their next shoot when in walks the new model Luna was so enthusiastic about, and that’s when they know they’re in deep shit.
🧹 Like Love Itself (E, 5k) - Albus/James
Albus has spent his whole life chasing after James. It never occurred to him James might want to be caught.
🐾 Eyes Gone Golden Like Coins (E, 5k) - Harry/Teddy
“Wish I could knot you,” I hear myself say. His eyes flash golden, like Galleons fresh from the Gringotts mint. When we’ve finished and we’re lying all tangled up, he asks softly. “You can… can’t you?”
5 Drarry faves to reread:
💔 A Pain of Our Choosing (E, 6k)
It’s 8th year and everyone’s still a bit messed up. Harry and Draco fall into being messed up together.
🎯 check this hand 'cause I'm marvelous (E, 8k)
Harry's had a crush on Malfoy for months now. But it will take a bar full of his friends, some Firewhisky, wagers made on his behalf, and Malfoy himself to get him to act on it.
🎁 Touch Me Fall (E, 23k)
Malfoy was such a ponce. And he was a complete snob. And he was so fucking fit Harry wanted to jump him where he sat. It would be too easy to forget his objective tonight: to really, really, really get Malfoy out of his system.
🐉 Blood and Fire (E, 45k)
Harry has spent the last twelve years in Romania, not returning to England as often as he knows he should. It's complicated. But when Ginny asks him to be her best man and help her plan her wedding, he can't say no. Having a reckoning with his choices, with himself, won't be easy. To say nothing of seeing Draco again.
🎲 Right Hand Red (E, 73k)
Harry felt Malfoy's breath on his lips as they came together over the bottle, hands firmly planted on the floor as though they each needed their familiar soil, refusing to cross into enemy territory. Except that Malfoy no longer felt like his enemy. Malfoy felt inevitable.
Bonus: Liv’s angsty PWP picks 🔥
🥃 Afterimage (1.7k) - Ginny/Ron
Ron comes home drunk (again); Ginny takes care of him. Again.
🌙 Beneath a Foreign Moon (2.7k) - Harry/Teddy
Harry visits Teddy in the middle of the night.
🪞 Slip Free of My Grasp (3.4k) - Harry/Sirius
I don't want to be bad for him. I want to do bad things and still be, somehow, inexplicably, good.
👠 Rogue Waves (6.5k) - Ginny/Pansy
A story of living with the trauma, fucking who you want, and maybe finding a little solace.
🎸 like the lost lyrics of a song suddenly remembered (11k) - Teddy/Bill, Teddy/James
Teddy Lupin, aging rockstar, is making a comeback after his life and career were nearly ruined by an illegal potions habit. Everyone's out to support him tonight. Including the man he's always tried so hard not to love -- as well as the man he's always turned to instead.
