Personal opinion on harry potter/marauders ships cus Its late and I don't wanna sleep

Drarry-toxic in canon and Draco has done terrible things to people and hasn't even thought about apologizing but fanon drarry is amazing(without the cringe mpreg or things like that)0/10 for canon 10/10 fanon

Wolfstar-perfect, no buts, perfection on bread infinite/10

Pansmoine-I don't know where it came from but I love it, it won't happen in canon but fuck it 10/10

Remadora-it's a 13 year old difference in age, only happened cus J.K is homophobic, don't get me wrong I love tonks but not this ship 0/10

Grindeldore(I'm pretty sure I didn't spell it right)-Its so toxic and so good at the same time 9/10

Dorlene-amazing, good thrope 200/10

Blairon-I feel like it only happened cus of pansmoine and Drarry but it's a good ship 8/10

Chedric-If only they didn't have such a big age difference it would be perfect but since of that 9/10

Hedric-I don't personally ship it but I feel like Cedric was more Harry's bi awakening than his boyfriend or crush or idk but there was indeed something there 5/10

Jegulus-It obviously wouldn't happen in canon but the thrope is freaking amazing and I love and ship it so much 100/10

Jily-I'm a big Jegulus shipper but it's alright and it's canon but James kept on asking Lily out in ATYD so it's kinda weird 7/10

Jegulily-I don't ship it but it's cute and I have seen a lot of skits with it 8/10

Marylily-perfect. Need I say more?100/10

Dramoine-No. It would be more toxic than poison -1000/10

Deamus-perfect. I haven't seen much about it but I know the basics and I love it 10/10

Linny-Amazing, it's cute, it has a good thrope, brilliant 100/10

Theville(Neville Longbottom x Theo Nott)- It's cute, I ship it 10/10

Ok that's all I can think of, give me more ships if you want

[cosmic-cheeto]

Every time I listen to this song, I think about one character out of a non-canon ship responding to a canon relationship.

I've thought about this as Draco with Harry and Ginny, Harry with Cedric and Cho, Regulus with James and Lily...

I just like making myself sad for no reason, it's a little fun though.

[nonesneedle]

They are sharing a small, lovely kiss

23 Fic Recs 2023!

This year has definitely been a year. I've devoured so many wonderful fics by so many amazing authors. Thank you @hprecfest for the super fun rec categories and for some fic inspiration! Here are 23 fics that I read and loved in 2023 (although some are quite a few years older) ordered by ship.

🌼 - fluff | 💔 - angst | 🔥 - smut

—

💫 DRARRY 💫

1. A post-canon fic

The Discreet Gentleman's Connection by pluto (gayrights420) [Drarry, E, 80.4k] 🌼🔥 I had the absolute pleasure of beta-ing for this fic, so when I say it is amazing, it truly is just that. Fast burn on the smut via Floo sex, slow burn on the in-person falling in love. Satisfying in all the best possible ways.

2. A fic that made me laugh

AITA for being "obsessed" with my childhood nemesis? by @rainstormradish [Drarry, M, 4.3k] 🌼📲 Draco on a reddit forum is hilarious just on its own, but the banter and formatting really bring this fic to life. Amazingly creative, had me in stitches!

3. A comfort fic

The Eighth Tale by @letteredlettered [Drarry, E, 12.0k] 💔⏳ An oldie but a goodie. I constantly find myself coming back to this fic and having my mind blown every single time. Time travel timey-wimey angst.

4. A fic with art

Dating Draco - A Visual Game by @itsphantasmagoria [Drarry, M, Video Game] 🌼🎮 This is a fic in video game form!! Amazing art and lovely story where YOU get to make the choices for Drarry's happily ever after.

5. A favorite series

The Journal of Dreadful Things by @lilbeanz [Drarry, G, 112k, WIP] 🌼📖 Hilarious, witty, AND COMES WITH ART!! Lilbeanz draws and writes a wonderfully delightful series starting from Draco's First Year. His characterization had me in hysterics. Book 4 is starting soon!

💫 COMMON SHIPS 💫

6. Fic with the hottest smut

Moonstruck by @prettyremus [Wolfstar, E, 3.8k] 🔥🐺 Found this gem while scrolling through the werewolf smut tag (don't judge me). I love the switch in dynamic with Sirius taming Remus's wolf through, ahem, rough sex.

7. An unreliable narrator fic

Sea of White by @dividawrites [Harrymort, E, 8.6k] 🔥🤍 Deliciously hot, creepy, and strangely sweet. Love their dynamic here, the unrestrained lust. Harrymort "die" and lose their memories, so, of course, then they bang.

8. A fic that made me cry

Far Apart, Far Away by @unmistakablyoatmeal [Hinny, minor Drarry, T, 1.6k] 💔💍 Infidelity angst has never been this good. I love the layers of emotion in this fic. Quick punchy sections that really pulled me in.

9. A Muggle(?) AU fic

Pleasant Hope by @ac1d6urn, @sinick [Snarry, E, 41.6k] 💔⛪️ Pastor Severus!! The angst, pining, and self-discovery in this fic is superb! I love the interwoven magic and detailed world-building of this little town.

—

💫 RARE PAIRS 💫

10. A fav amongst faves

The Last Trial of Peter Pettigrew by @sleepstxtic [Prongstail, M, 20.8k] 💔 🐀 Holy moly, this fic!!!! Is this my new favorite fic?? Possibly. The concept is brilliant, so creative and nuanced. The Peter character study using outsider perspectives is genius. Seamlessly balances canon and new scenes.

11. A pre-canon fic

Careless by @tax-onomic [Luther, E, 1.5k] 🔥🪞 Lucius/Arthur my beloved rare pair!! I am captain of the Luther ship, and Tax's fic hits all the right spots. The pining, the sniping, the prickly personalities with emotional vulnerability underneath! And all in the middle of a hot smut scene. Perfect.

12. A canon-compliant fic

Scottish by thepadfoots [Chedric, G, 749] 💔🌟 Lovely Cho character study focused around her Asian identity and the boy she loved.

13. A fic rated G (more like T though)

Lion-Hearted Girl by MinnieQuill (odainath) [Minmione, G, 4.5k] 💔🦁 I know the large age gap might scare some, but their relationship feels very organic in this fic. The setting is grim, but there is always hope in the darkness!

14. A fic rated T

You're So Vane by @patriceavril [Romelina, T, 6.8k] 🌼💄Romilda is so delightfully characterized, I was smiling through the entire fic. Angelina is the perfect foil (and love interest) to Romilda's attentions.

15. A rare pair fic (less than 2000 fics on AO3)

Snakeskin by @cntrl15 [Bellastoria, E, 3.7k] 🔥👠 Talk about a rare pair! Astoria/Bellatrix only has 2 tagged fics on AO3: this fic and the drabble I wrote based on it. But read this fic, and you'll see why I felt the need to write more in this universe.

16. A fest fic

Master of None by @nanneramma [Snormac, G, 5.5k] 🌼🧘 Severus is so wonderfully cranky, and Cormac is fine AF. The surprise pairing of 2023 that I never knew I needed and now I'm obsessed with!

17. An under-rated fic

Sun, Shadow, Shade by @naomijameston [Snuna, G, 700] 🌼☀️ Post-war fluff. Sunshine Luna is the perfect match for sullen Snape. A short and sweet fic for this underrated ship.

18. A canon-divergent fic

but somebody's gotta do it by nocturn [Pangulus, T, 920] 😄🧟‍♂️ This fic will make you say WTF but also huh, okay that totally works. The concept is WILD but Lyra executes it wonderfully. Pansy drags Regulus out of the inferi lake and they flirt a little while he gets de-corpsified lol.

💫 POLY SHIPS 💫

19. A dark fic

In his embrace by @loneamaryllis [Snarrymort, het!Snarry, E, 48k] ⚡️👀 Dark and dirty but so so good. A Voldemort Wins AU where fem!Harry is taken as prisoner. Snape's mindset as he tries to save her (and is forced to rape her) is so twisted and mesmerizing. Mind the tags!

20. A thought-provoking fic

Icarus by @thistlecatfics [Millvansy, M, 20.0k] 💔🍾 War trauma, addiction, codependency! This fic is messy with emotions but has a strong, beating heart underneath. I am in love with Parvati as she deals with Pansy's addiction and Millicent's denial — three beautiful, imperfect girls.

21. A holiday fic

A Time, Dark and Divine by @moonflower-rose [Dronarry, E, 17.0k] 🔥⛱ HOLY FREAKING FUCK!! The sexual tension in this fic is off the freaking charts. Drarry seducing Ron while on vacation in Portugal. Sign me the fuck up!

—

💫 GEN 💫

22. A favorite fic under 5k

The Scrunchie by @saintsenara [Lightning Era Girls, G, 4.5k] 💖👭 Such a lovely look into some of the female background characters, all following the path of a single scrunchie. Lisa, Padma, Parvati, Hannah, Sally-Anne.

23. A fic with an ending I can't stop thinking about

Through the Middlegame by @sandervansunshine [Astoria & Peter, T, 6.6k] 💔♜ Devastating, heart-wrenching, tragic. 10000% would recommend. Kylee has already heard me screaming in the servers about this fic. If I could get a fic tattooed straight onto my brain, this would be it.

—

💫 BONUS RECS! 💫

A podfic

Plenitude by @wilfriede, written by eldritcher [Amelmione, M, 14 min] 💔🥀 Amazing voices, amazing music, amazing ambience. Wilfriede really brings one of my fav Hermione/Amelia Bones fics to life in this podfic!

A comic

War Prize by @mrviran [Snegulus, Reggiemort, M, Comic, WIP] ☠️🐍 The panels are awe-inspiring. I am HOOKED on this comic. The murder and the TENSION. Ughhhhh so good. I am so invested in Severus's arc!!

A self-rec (completely self-indulgent)

For I Have Found Salvation by @lumosatnight [Snarry, E, 7.1k] 🔥✝ My first time writing Snarry! Priest Kink, church sex, and blasphemous religious imagery. Priest Severus is oh-so-tempted by Teen Harry. So fun to write and even more fun to go back and read as a guilty pleasure.

[juuls]

Juulna's 2022 reading stats - fics and books too!

Wow, so many statistics and so little time! Let's see... what are the most pertinent and interesting ones...? Thanks to the @fanfic-reading-challenge I got to read some pretty interesting things this year! The new one starts soon. :D

How many books did I read?

177, wow! My goal had been to read 100 (you can set a goal for yourself and keep track on Goodreads, which is awesome) so I definitely surpassed that. I used HowLongToRead to get an approximation of how many words I read in books, and it totalled 16,700,982 words. Nearly 17 million! It's actually more than my total in fics, hah.

Do I have any favourite books I'd recommend?

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett

Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan

The Women's War by Jenna Glass

Shake Hands with the Devil by Roméo Dallaire (genocide trigger)

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

Scythe by Neal Shusterman

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

The Last Watch by J.S. Dewes

Heck yeah I do! These books were amazing and had me reading any sequels I could, ASAP. For those with a limited budget, check out this free online library, Library Genesis, or your own library's resources!

Now let's talk about fanfiction...

In total, I read 15,832,562 words, 4,017 chapters, and 589 fics. That works out to about 26,880 words per fic on average. But what's the monthly breakdown of all that? Some of those words, chapters, and fics are ones I did not finish (yet), but I did count as finished those WiPs which I'd caught up with.

The least I read in a month was 470,293 words in April, with 22 fics read. Not even sure what was going on with me back then. The most I read in a month is actually December! I attribute that to me finishing off or at least reading as much as I can of some long fics on the back burner. Also, there were a lot of WiPs which had updates in December, and fics I'd been reading a little at a time month after month, which I finally completed. So yeah, I read 2,030,497 words in December, fairly closely followed by October. Pretty sure I was just drowning out the lack of light these last few months. :P 7/12 months I read more than a million words, and 4/12 months were over 1.5 million, plus those labelled incomplete for both those stats.

I read 137 different romantic pairings which were the main relationship(s) of the fic. I also read 49 distinct fandoms. I definitely dug into my past and some of my favourites from when I was a kid! It was quite neat, actually!

But okay, so this is definitely getting a little dry. Here are some of my favourite fics from this year (and I may make a few rec lists from my much larger 'favourite list')!

[startanewdream]

Do you think JKR is good at writing romance? (That might be worded weirdly). I love the HP canon couples. I love Jily and Romione and Hinny and Bleur and I've read Remadora, Drastoria, Dransy and George/Angelina, among others. I'm even fascinated by Channy and Chedric. The canon ships are the most interesting to me, and the ones I've read the most about. But I've been wondering lately if it's because of how they were written they are or if it's mostly because of the potential they had? What is it, for you?

I admit: I've came across some meta in the past weeks discussing the canon couples and like. I might have realized most of them might have at least some toxic traits in them? And that's not necessarily bad! That might very well be what makes them interesting. And it's also open to interpreation, as always, so it's not necessarily true either. And I definitely shouldn't make a habit of reading anti stuff about stuff I like. But. That made me think about if that was purposeful on JKR's part or if she's just that bad at writing romance. What do you think?

Also: What do you make of James hiding from Lily that he keeps hexing Snape? I love them, but I kind of really hate that piece of information about them. Not the hexing Snape part, but the "hiding something for your partner" bit. Do you have any other, better way of looking at that? 😢

I'm kind of pouring out my fandom experiences on you and. Let me know if it makes you uncomfortable. You don't need to answer if it does, and I'm really sorry.

I wouldn't say it was badly written, just that romance was not the main focus of the stories, but I am actually fine with the way most of them were written (and for those I'm not, hey, fanfics!).

I'm a fan of canon pairings because I think that was where the characters' progress took them and sometimes it's disregarding their story to ignore it. That's why I wouldn't ever break Ron and Hermione in any of my stories, for example; they have the best development, they are the definition of slow burn. All turns in their story are seen and narrated by Harry, from the moment they dislike each other, to Ron facing his fear of spider for her, their bickerings, first attraction, first heartbreak, understanding and then first kiss. And weirdly, that's why I am not interested in Romione fics; I am satisfied with their canon story.

About James and Lily:

���Well,” said Lupin slowly, “Snape was a special case. I mean, he never lost an opportunity to curse James, so you couldn’t really expect James to take that lying down, could you?” “And my mum was okay with that?” “She didn’t know too much about it, to tell you the truth,” said Sirius. “I mean, James didn’t take Snape on dates with her and jinx him in front of her, did he?”

I read this as (1) James reacting more than attacking in his later years; (2) though Lily was involved, she was not part of James and Snape's fights. In SWM, James was trying to get to Lily through Snape, something that I don't see him doing afterward; so I read Lily "not knowing too much about it" as Snape and James keeping this to themselves... and because yes, I defend James, I'd say that James would not want to share this with her to protect her (former friend in the path to being a Death Eater, right?).

I don’t care what anyone says, chedric and hedric are the best ships in the hp universe.

Unless my DR is included in the mix, then it’s Cassiopeia Black and Ced, so cadric.

HP Ships bracket

Valentine's Day is coming up, which means everyone is talking about their favorite ships, and March Madness is coming up, which means I have the compulsive need to turn everything into brackets, so I whipped this up this morning.

Reblog with your filled-out brackets! I want to see them.

I'm also thinking of maybe actually running the bracket through polls in the lead up to the 14th if people are interested
