#(except like rewrite it so it's much more in line with canon aha)

[serpentsortias]

what are some of your favorite drarry fics?

anon!! i have so many favs because this fandom is mad talented but! i tried to include ones that i never really see in fic recs (i made a few exceptions aha). someday i’ll have a proper list of recs but for now here’s just a few (as well as my thoughts):

All Must Draw Near by Saras_Girl

summary: Harry doesn’t have time for rumours; he has a shop to run. Which is just as well, really

thoughts: this is a really really cute advent fic that i really love! it features draco and harry as close friends who run a shop together and harry is painfully oblivious to the fact that he and draco are practically a couple already. also the original character introduced (and her furry friend) are great, i love it when fics introduce original characters that i end up loving.

you open always (petal by petal) by birdsofshore

summary: Harry’s not the kind of person who pays for sex. He really isn’t. Until he is.

thoughts: uh very different vibe from the last fic but really really good. i’m usually not one for these types of fics but i really enjoyed this one and harry’s obliviousness really hits hard in this one lmao. i also really liked the addition of grimmauld place’s house magic!

Draw a Line from Your Heart to Mine by CreateImagineWrite

summary: Being Harry Potter’s best friend isn’t always fame and beating off raving fans. It’s also the anxiety of hearing your best mate’s been cursed by another Dark Lord, or love potioned by some crazy woman. Or having his boyfriend you knew nothing about turn up on the Burrow’s doorstep. Crime/Mystery fic.

thoughts: ohh i love this fic so much. it’s told through ron’s pov which i really really love because of how his thoughts on draco change as the fic progresses. also that twist! a must read in my opinion

The Stars Above Us by 606, create_serenity

summary: It started as an innocent day out taking Teddy to visit the local observatory. Somehow it became so much more.

thoughts: i am a huge sucker for any story that features astronomy or a character working at an observatory so it was just the star on the tree to see draco working at one in this fic. also! teddy is in this fic! and i just adore fics that involve draco interacting with teddy.

Inter Vivos by lomonaaeren

summary: AU. The Parseltongue incident in second year caused a more violent explosion in Gryffindor House than anyone could have foreseen. Harry, trying to withdraw from everyone except his two best friends, finds himself helped by people he couldn’t have foreseen either, first Snape and then Draco Malfoy. Sometimes, all it takes is one sudden impulsive throwing of a stone for the ripples of change to spread through several lives.

thoughts: i really really love canon rewrites for this particular ship especially and this is one of my fav ones that i’ve read so far. i really love how it takes place over a series of dates and ahh little draco just wanting to be a part of a genuine harry potter adventure! it’s adorable, really

The Lesson of You by thecouchsofa

summary: Harry likes kids. That doesn’t mean he’s ready for a small boy to turn up on the doorstep of Grimmauld Place insisting that Harry is his father. That was weird enough, but the child identifying Draco Malfoy as his other parent was something Harry had no bloody idea how to handle.

thoughts: holy shit i LOVE this fic so much. i had been wanting to write a fic with this sort of premise for a while but my plans sorta fell through when i lost my notes (oops haha) but i found this fic which is just so so great! harry and draco’s relationship development is adorable and ahh little ollie is adorable with how he inadvertently teases both harry and draco haha

In Pieces by dysonrules

summary: Harry returns to Hogwarts as the new DADA instructor, only to find his teaching efforts thwarted by a very familiar ghost.

thoughts: not to expose me and my inherent belief in the eroticism of a ghost (im 99% joking) but this fic is fantastic. the longing was really tangible and i am happy to confirm that it ends happily!

Everything That Happens is From Now On by trishjames

summary: After surviving a brutal assault, Draco tries to navigate the tumultuous waters of his mind, and embrace a bit of love and trust in his life. After all, the smallest steps forward can begin to heal the most fractured of souls.

thoughts: as you can tell from the summary, please read the tags and author’s notes before reading! i usually avoid fics of this subject matter but this one was really well done and draco’s process of moving on from the incident is written so well in wonderful, subtle ways that are just Clear to the reader and i really appreciate that

The Art of Our Necessities by dcfg21

summary: After being Turned by a vampire, Harry descends into reckless and dangerous behavior. The Ministry and the Vampire Council devise a way to keep the former Savior on a leash, and his fangs to himself, by forcing him to take a Consort.

thoughts: ohhh this fic is good and features a really jaded harry after the war as well as a draco who’s mostly there out of convenience for himself but it develops into something much more. i rarely ever see vampire!harry fics which is something i’ve a bit of a weakness for if i’m being honest

the strength to stay by violetclarity

summary: Draco and Harry are the best Senior Aurors in the DMLE, which is why they’re working the case about Wings – a dangerous new potion that sends users into a dreamscape from which they may never return. When Harry is kidnapped by the group behind Wings, Draco takes it upon himself to go after him, and is forced to confront the reality of Harry’s feelings for him, which he’s been ignoring for years.

thoughts: this fic features chubby draco which is ahhh something i never see in drarry fics. it really hurts to see how draco views himself and i think it’s a very relatable feeling to be so self-deprecating that even in the face of obvious interest, you still feel as though it isn’t possible for someone to feel that way for you. this story is also part of a series from the author so go give that a read as well!

Title: REPEAT? Chapters: ??/?? Chapter Title: Possession Word Count: 422 (this “part”), 22105 (current/without this part) Fandom: Digimon Adventures (mainly Adventure with hints of 02/Tri AU) Type: Fanfic Rating: M/M / R18+ (Ch. 2, some implied elsewhere), PG-13(+) (overall) Characters/Pairings: Taichi/Koushiro [Taishiro/Taishirou] (overall), other characters / maybe some other ships background implied (other parts), two ? three ? very particular “new” characters (this part) [they’re not really “new”] Summary: “Taichi wasn’t sure what he was expecting. …He just knew it wasn’t… this…” (or, Taishiro timeloops AU based on this amv and fic outline in half-written form?) Chapter Summary: the door to the master bedroom bangs open as it’s stormed guns pointed ready to shoot anyone who had been there [--]  "We're... being targeted," "but not just by the government." "One, a certain one, among them" "had the power to open the gate" "--and immediately close it again" "blocking us from entering" Read: fic under the read more !

Notes: - epilogue era / Taichi and Koushiro are adults, 30-35+ - partly based on general headcanons, partly based on my old as heck Digimon OC fic and the headcanons I/young me had for its own future / epilogue era (also it was more canon compliant overall but ah well .....) (thus many things happen differently between these two things) - partly based on new ideas gained from Tri that seriously will not leave my mind, help, (ok but seriously who else would be -- after Hikari --) - multiple timelines ? involved ?? here - ... young me could have picked a better name for Koushiro’s daughter ;; but honestly I don’t really want to change it, sooo it stuck for now (aha) (maybe her “full” name can be a little different depending? maybe it’s a nickname? maybe I’ll still change it later? who knows) - ( Taichi voice in the background ‘but it’s like “(Ya)gami”!!’ ) (she’s likely adopted in some way anyhow ok) - it even fits with this headcanon actually, why - this entire “part” is more like really choppy dialogues as I figure out how to “fill in” the rest of these verses so it leads partly to this, so probably this whole thing will be rewritten in the future, but the ideas still stand - TAISHIRO GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION AUs SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS IF YOU THINK WITH TAICHI’S PROFESSION -- - ... further notes after * [1] He flings the door open -- -- the blue glow -- of the computer screen, in the darkened room, startles him as he stares, wide-eyed, at -- ( h i s -- ) "Kami--?!" -- she stares, blankly, at the screen as the light begins to grow stronger -- Kai, [ who ] ( i n i t i a l l y ) [ -- wanted nothing more than to ] ( r u n a w a y ) -- could only -- fling himself toward her as the light envelopes them both -- leaving neither child behind. * the door to the master bedroom bangs open as it's stormed guns pointed ready to shoot anyone who had been there * ( and particularly ) ( t h o s e t w o -- ) ( “ C h o s e n ” ) * however, they were greeted by an empty room * [ they leave it ] [ ... d e s t r o y e d ] [ a n y w a y ] * [1] "We're... being targeted," Koushiro whispers, strained voice shaky with heavy breaths, "but not just by the government." "Taichi-san, remember before," "When the Digital World itself began attacking us?" "Y-... Yes, but--" ('What is he -- is it happening again?! -- but the portal had let us in??--') "Back then," "it wasn't just Hikari-san who noticed it--" "felt it." "Taichi-san," " I did, too. " Taichi stares at him, wide-eyed -- (Koushiro did mention, back then...) (but?!--) "I had thought, at the time--" "Perhaps it was just, my senses and awareness had been heightened--" "That was partly it, but--" "it wasn't the whole reason." "...Koushiro, what are you trying to say--?!" * [2] "We're being rejected" "because the Digital World, once again," "is thinking of us as the enemy" "but then--" "The reason our children were let in--" "--it's not just because they're Chosen," "Taichi-san." "There's another reason." "One, a certain one, among them" "had the power to open the gate" "--and immediately close it again" "blocking us from entering" * [1]-[2] "Koushiro, what--" Taichi begins asking, depserately, * [2] Koushiro turns, tearing his gaze away from the ( l i g h t ) of his Pibook’s screen, ... To stare at him, eyes filled with worry, and says -- * [1] Koushiro's tired eyes, filled with worry, look up at him, as Taichi stares down -- * [1]-[2] " Taichi-san, " "Homeostasis is possessing Kami." *** Notes: - DUN DUN DUNNNNNN (I’m sorry) - partly inspired by this particular Tri scene (note my commentary maybe) - partly inspired by young me’s own headcanons I’d had since loooong before Tri - Koushiro is definitely injured in one “timeline” here (hence his looking up at Taichi in [1]) (there’s probably blood I’m sorry) - (that’s kind of what happens when you’re knocked out and injured and bloodied and your [not quite yet ? but might as well be] husband helps you escape a burning wreck by somehow forcing open a portal to the Digital World when it should be rejecting them except this one is forcing me to rewrite my own whole OC verse idea T a i c h i get yourself TOGETHER) - in [1], Yagami Kai (Taichi’s son) and Izumi Kami[ka?] [Kamiko?] (idek) (Koushiro’s daughter) ... are back at Koushiro’s place for reasons but ..... (also I barely get to show them here bc lead-up but I LOVE THEM SO MUCH HELP honestly if you hate the epilogue kids get out of my house) (i’m serious I’ve had epilogue kids headcanons ever since that old OC fic) - in [2] it’s . canon compliant ? so they’re leaving straight from the 02 ending scene kind of (note the 02) - [2] - canon compliant with the OC verse incorporated in background anyhow... - [1]-[2] - Homeostasis why - mainly I just wanted to get to the last line because whooooo -- - ---HOMEOSTASIS STOP ( - yeah he’s still using the -san ) ( - Homeostasis really can’t give Koushiro and Taichi a break ) ( - particularly Koushiro though )
