hi!! can I get help with finding this fic as well?

I think it was a one shot, but harry and Draco were possibly in a secret relationship? I'm pretty sure it was. Harry gets injured on the job(auror) and is hit with a super dark curse that is basically slowly killing him. I think it was even going to his brain? Draco has to hear about it on the radio because I do think the relationship was secret. And once he gets to the hospital they refuse to let him see harry and somehow he proves theyre together. Ron and Hermione are there and so is Ginny. I remember Ginny being very important because the healers did not know how to heal Harry and was ready to give up on him. But Draco figured out how to fix it and Ginny was there encouraging him after everybody left. I think it was some kind of ritual or bonding that made Draco and Harry share magic so Harry can heal.

"MISSING: A grumpy werewolf. Tall, dark, and gorgeous. Flashy blue eyes. Responds to the name Sourwolf."

Four years ago Stiles cast a spell that was supposed to emulate a pack bond between him and the shifters in his pack. Derek was not amused. Now, with Derek gone missing in unknown circumstances, is it justifiable to use that forbidden magic once again? And is it only a question of ethics?

Hi do you know any fics with copper in it? Like Kurt and Cooper being friends and Blaine is younger or just Klaine fics with Cooper in it?

SO many! Please browse our Cooper Anderson tag. Here are a bunch to start you off. Enjoy! ~Lynne

You’re My Home by @dreamingkate

Cooper and Blaine were always there for each other after their father beat Blaine until he had brain damage. It’s always been just the two of them so when Blaine meets Kurt and falls in love, Cooper doesn’t know what to do. He’s too scared to let go.

~~~~~

It’s Not Babysitting by @anxioussquirrel

AU, present time. Kurt Hummel is 28 and has been living in New York for ten years now. He has a good job, nice apartment and two best friends anyone could wish for: Sebastian, a snarky lawyer, and Cooper, a workaholic investment specialist. What he doesn’t have is luck in relationships. But then Blaine, Cooper’s 17-year-old brother comes to NY to spend the summer. He turns out to be gorgeous and quickly develops a huge crush on Kurt…

~~~~~

What Happened in Vegas by Petalene

Kurt’s weekend trip to visit Las Vegas is the perfect chance to have some fun. Sure, he’s there for a work convention, but he’ll have a little time to take in the sights, see a show, and maybe pull a few slot machines. Instead, he crashes a party where he meets Blaine, the man of his dreams. Now everyone thinks the two of them are engaged and should get married right away. But Kurt’s not worried about all the crazy, because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Unless, of course, there are pictures

a sort of homecoming 1/1

...so, guys. i did a thing. i wrote a Leverage fic.

A few months back i was a little stuck inside real life insanity and writing despite all my rage, and i started watching Leverage for the first time. Yes, i know, so late to the party. But also--- i fucking loved the show.

Love the show. Still. Forever. For reasons.

Anyway. There i was, trying not to go off my rocker and started to write this bit of self-indulgence just to clear my head, and it was wonderful. Nobody knew i was doing it. Nobody was waiting for me to finish. i was never going to post it and so i didn't have to check myself or be reasonable or curb my instincts, i could let the self-indulgence run absolutely fucking rampant. And. i. did.

And it gave me the opportunity to build an entire original character from scratch. Which was so much fun.

But then i made the mistake had the good fortune of telling some people what i was doing and they went ahead and screamed shouty support encouraged my lunacy and here we are.

With a whole finished fic.

a sort of homecoming

SUMMARY: This starts in a corrupt medical testing facility (taken straight out of "The Experimental Job") and then takes a hard left into unknown territory, featuring intrigue and fraud, corruption and redemption, bad guys and worse guys, and comeuppance for all. Told from an outsider's point of view. This is my take on a Leverage episode-- with all the plot and hoops to jump through, but also a little bit of connection and human touch. It's not really a love story. It's first and foremost a character study with a bit of action. But there are some feelings here, too.

With all the thanks in the world to @cable-knit-sweater, because i may or may not have confided in her first and she said the LOVELIEST THINGS, and @optomisticgirl, because she did some epic support screaming, as well as a lightning-fast beta that only resulted in me having to add a piddly 2K words, no biggie. And of course to @ohmightydevviepuu who told me about Leverage before anyone else, it's true, but had the misfortune of doing so in one of those phases where my brain could not handle new stuff and was rewatching firefly and The Expanse, etc. 😂😂😂

And lastly, this is a gift for my lovely @anxioussquirrel -- who turned me on to Leverage again, last year, and who deserves all the good things in the world. i love you. A lot. 💕💕💕

✩ To Vanish Into Something Better by @m0srael [E, 35k]

Harry Potter thought he could outrun the burden of infamy by isolating himself in the Muggle world. Draco Malfoy hasn’t been seen or heard from since his trial. Will a top-secret Ministry project, a beautiful garden, and a little heat carry them both home? [H/D Erised 2021]

Dirty Little Secret by @writcraft [E, 22k] 🔥

The Seventh Life by @corvuscrowned [E, 18k] 🔥🏳️‍⚧️

If Draco had looked the other way, he may never have seen him again. But Draco turned, because he always would have turned. He found him, because he always would have found him - in life, in death, or in Paris. OR: Draco is an immortal vampire. Harry is trapped in eternal cycles of life, death, and reincarnation. They meet again in Paris, and the seventh life isn't any less complicated than the first. [HD Fangfest 2022]

✩ Where I see things right by InnerLilith [E, 15k]

When Harry finds himself unexpectedly pregnant after a one-off with Draco Malfoy, he knows he isn’t keeping it. But when actually getting the abortion turns out to be more complicated than Harry expected, he finds himself turning to Malfoy for help through the process. And that’s actually much less complicated than Harry expected.

✩ embrace the deception by @swoontodeath [M, 13k]

Draco Malfoy shouldn’t feel like the stable one, not when he spends his days pretending to have clairvoyant powers and solving mysteries with Neville Longbottom. Harry Potter, however, seems to be on the edge of a breakdown, and he’s growing increasingly obsessed with his former rival. [Lights Camera Drarry 2022]

Harry Potter: DILF Hunter by @vukovich [E, 11k] 🔥

Auror Potter doesn't know what a DILF is, but if Malfoy's one, then Harry's gonna be the Ministry's best DILF Hunter ever! Or, five times Harry heard Draco was a DILF, and one time he found it to be pleasantly true.

✩ Glowing by @cavendishbutterfly [T, 9.7k] 🌼🏳️‍⚧️

Harry's lived alone and vampiric in his cottage for ages, until a long-lived Draco Malfoy suddenly shows up to answer an advertisement Harry had practically forgotten he'd put in the Prophet. Cue soft blood drinking, quiet nights of reading and crocheting, and Harry thinking that maybe--just maybe--he might not be so alone anymore. [HD Fangfest 2022]

Perfect for him by anxioussquirrel [T, 8.3k]

Draco Malfoy is getting married. In a turn of events he’d never have believed possible, he is getting married to a man who’s perfect for him. Absolutely perfect.

✩ First Week of Eternity by InnerLilith [E, 7.8k] 🔥

In which Draco tries desperately to hide that he’s recently become a vampire, and Harry tries desperately to feed him. [HD Fangfest 2022]

let me be your sun by @owl-of-fandom [M, 7.8k]

Sweet Like Candy in my Veins by @shah-writes [M, 7.6k]

The First Taste by @maraudersaffair [E, 7.1k] 🔥

Draco falls pregnant unexpectedly and breaks off the secret love affair that he's been having with Harry Potter. When Draco decides to keep the baby, Harry and he spend the remaining months of the pregnancy getting to know one another.

Harry Potter and the Half-Guard Prince by @swoontodeath [M, 4.4k]

Banished to the Muggle world by the conditions of his parole, Draco Malfoy is forced to learn how to protect himself without magic. The Half-Guard Prince might never show his face in his videos, but that low, seductive voice is strangely familiar… [Quidditch Fest 2022]

✩ Catch Midnight by @tackytigerfic [E, 4k] 🔥

They're the Auror/ Unspeakable team of Robards' nightmares. They're madly in love with each other, but also blindly oblivious to the fact. They can feel each other's magic. They jump out of windows. And Malfoy does a lot of watching Harry wank.

✩ Take You Made by @tackytigerfic [E, 3.9k] 🔥

"Draco didn’t believe in soulmates, but Harry Potter was the closest thing he had to one, so he was just going to keep pushing those inconvenient loving thoughts aside until one day he could learn how to get rid of them for good."

Face Me (And I’ll be There to Hold You) by bluemermaid54 [E, 2.2k] 🔥🌼

✩ Willing Blood by @lqtraintracks & @the-starryknight [E, 2.1k] 🔥

✩ all the small things by @tryslora [E, 2k] 🔥

Harry is not hung and Draco loves giving him head because of that. If it happens to be a way to silently say I love you that’s just a coincidence.

Fanged Delight by DrWhoIsGinnyHolmes [E, 2k]

Recently turned vampire Draco just developed his special vampiric skill: mind reading. It was now time to discover everyone's dirty little secrets, starting with Harry Potter himself. It just wasn't what Draco expected and now he has to deal with the consequences. [HD Fangfest 2022]

Painted Me Golden by @purplehotmess [M, 1.4k]

Each time I was with you, though, the chasm of yearning widened like a maw of a predator ready to chomp on my bleeding heart.

Hidden Away by @celilasart [T, art & poem]

Your sweet blood on my red lips, / your soft skin under my fingertips. [HD Fangfest 2022]

non-drarry

✩ Best in Blue by @cavendishbutterfly [Teddy/James Sirius, E, 11k] 🏳️‍⚧️🔥

James shouldn't have messed up his knee in a Quidditch game. And he shouldn't have come back to London before it healed. He also definitely shouldn't be wandering around Teddy's flat looking that fucking attractive and lovely, but that's a different problem entirely.

@anxioussquirrel

Oh, sure! Next time I run into one I'll include the location, scene, and context. And when I'm done with this readthrough I'll dig up the baboon joke, since I'm well past it now. I'm sure some of these would have to be translation things since they're plays on words in English, however others most assuredly aren't (such as the food items, henna, and canniboids, all of which would have words in Polish), and to be honest a lot of the people making the complaints about the actors of color are English speaking fans who are basing their knowledge off the English versions of the games and books, so it would still be present in their interpretations.

[kanadabiscuits]

@anxioussquirrel replied to your post “Do you ever just… fall in love with where you...”:

I'm still looking for a place on Earth that I could feel this way about. Sometimes I'm afraid I won't ever find it.

​I hope you find it, my friend. I really do. Somehow the weight of the world is easier to bear when you are constantly struck anew at the beauty and warmth of the place you call home.

[churkey]

You are a gift! Thank you for beautifying my dash with all these amazing Derek Hale gifs every day - they never fail to make me smile :) I hope you're having a wonderful week!

Yay!

Week is going... okay. As far as weeks go, I guess. I think I’m on my... third migraine? But that’s pretty normal.

Hey so I read a fic that was tied to the Adam Levine and Slash song "Gotten" I can not for the life of me think of what the fic was about, but I know I enjoyed it. Can you guys help me find it pretty pretty pleeeeeeease!???

Without any details, there's no way we can find your story. There was a fic titled Gotten, but IDK if the song is in the story because it's been many years since I've read it. Readers - if you think you know the story this reader is looking for, please send it in. Thanks! ~Lynne

Gotten by @anxioussquirrel

Kurt and Blaine never got together. They remained best friends through high school and college, then parted ways. Now they meet again in difficult circumstances. A story about friendship, lost dreams and broken hearts, with a happy Klaine ending.

Hi Emma!! I must say I owe you a big thank you - seeing all the Leverage content on my dash finally convinced me to give it a try and wow, it's love. Thank you for that final push I clearly needed :)

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited for you!!!

Honestly, Leverage is my go-to comfort show at this point. Even on my truly bad days, it gives me cause to smile. I am so grateful it exists. 

I’ve got the biggest smile on my face, knowing I played some small part in dragging you down this particular rabbit hole. 

Please keep me updated as you watch!!
