Yours Truly by @skeptiquewrites

Harry/Draco (2022, Mature, 15k)

Every single one of Harry’s exes has gone on to marry the next person they date, and with the upcoming nuptials of numbers six and seven to each other, Harry’s feeling exhausted by it all. It doesn’t really matter if he lets people assume Draco Malfoy is his boyfriend for a moment of peace. In any case, Draco’s been away for five years and there’s no way he would find out, right?

They had such a short amount of time they had left, it wouldn't matter, he could. It was such a short amount of time they had left, it mattered too much, he shouldn't. He contented himself with a squeeze of his hand and a meaningful look. He memorised the way Draco looked truly joyful with his little tree, and a diagram. Imagining what it must feel like to save the day after five years of trying and trying again.

Happy happy birthday Tee! I’ve been saving this rec for so long and now everyone and their dog have read this incredible story (as it should be!) so this became more of a love letter (hehe) to you instead, which is a fitting way to celebrate your day 🎉 I’ve been following your works for quite a while now and every new fic - or brilliant microfic! - manages to take my breath away and surprise me in new, different ways. I love your creativity and versatility, I love the way you explore different beloved tropes giving them your own twist, I love the way you depict adult Harry and Draco and above anything, I LOVE your inspiring and wistful brand of romance. If there’s something all your stories channel with no exception, is good old romance. They always hit a special place inside my heart and make it go all soft and aching, wanting to live a love story exactly like that. I love the way you depict affection between them, and I feel privileged for having the chance to read it!

Now back to Yours Truly and to why it blew me away… I think my favorite thing about it is how that summary gives us NO IDEA of what this is about. One might think this is yet another cute fake relationship to lovers only to get slapped in the face with sexy, competent and enthusiastic ECOLOGIST DRACO, and increasingly smitten Harry caught off guard by his quiet allure. Add to that perfect found family/friendship feels and a tender portrait of adult romance, we got a winner! The pacing is perfect, I felt immersed and charmed by the relaxing atmosphere, the delicious slow burn, the light fun humour and smooth sexual tension. I barely realized the fic was about to end until I reached the last couple paragraphs and was like “oh 🥺🥺 what now?”

I am particularly obsessed with their voices in here, especially this capable and serious but still kind, approachable Draco. He’s a vision, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with him learning about his life and job through Harry’s eyes. The dynamics are really fun and they get closer in an organic, teasing but sweet way. Despite the main ruse, the falling in love never feels rushed, giving them space to breathe and process all those feelings before getting together. There’s still a sense of urgency underneath, that mix of wonder and despair that blurs our minds once we realize we’re falling for someone and see that no matter the path we choose, it requires a leap of faith. I think that quote illustrated the dilemma perfectly and that’s why I picked it!

Finally, I am absolutely in love with the sense of community that you created here. Their group of friends is so united, cheerful and supportive I was conflicted between wanting more Drarry moments and more found family vibes. Luckily for us you have balanced both perfectly coming up with amazing celebration excuses. Love love love the Terries (😂😂) wedding, the meddling friends, mysterious knowing Luna, party lover Hermione and smitten Ron holding her purse!! Each character has a vibrant, charming and unique personality and they come together around Drarry as a comfort blanket, making my heart smile and hurt wishing I had something like that. Stunning mood and characterization!

Between Harry’s vulnerable honest letters and Draco’s equally vulnerable unsent ones, this fic will immediately work its way inside everyone’s heart. It is one of the loveliest, most creative takes on fake relationship + epistolary I’ve seen recently and a wonderful reading experience. Gentle, funny and honest in a soft, wistful way. Tee, it’s been a privilege to follow your work as you perfect your voice through the years. I’m always so excited to see a new fic of yours, I don’t even check the tags knowing it will hit all my boxes. I hope you’re having the happiest of birthdays and that we get to celebrate many more in the Drarry fandom! Thank you so much for sharing your writing with us 💜

To anyone else reading this, you can check all of Tee’s works on her AO3 and I suggest checking SS’s impeccable 5 faves reclist to guide you through it!

00:00 | jhs

↳ just a lazy, late night.

◇ hoseok x reader ◇ fluff (with just a sprinkle of spice) | idol!au ◇ 0.9k [1/1]

⇢ what! me! writing??? nahhh it’s really me just finishing up a thing that’s been in my drafts for at least a year and a half!!! 🫠 happy late bday to hobi, as usual!!!

It’s well after midnight when Hoseok stumbles in through the front door, exhaustion creasing his face and stress shadowing his brow. His dark hair is shoved haphazardly into a bright yellow beanie, his ears folded beneath the edges, and you look up from your phone as he drops his bag onto the ground. “Hey,” he says as he locks the door behind him, his voice a low rasp. “It’s late. Why’re you still up?”

Trust Jung Hoseok to worry about your sleep schedule when his own is completely and irreparably fucked.

“Couldn’t sleep,” you murmur, and it’s the truth. Some nights, you find it near impossible to fall asleep when Hoseok isn’t laying at your side. It’s almost alarming how quickly he’s become ingrained in your life—rooting himself in your schedule and in your heart—but you wouldn’t want it any other way. 

Slowly, you stand up from your spot on the couch, wincing as your joints protest after so many hours of sitting still. Stretching lazily, you pad over to your boyfriend to greet him properly, winding your arms around his neck and pulling him close so you can plant a long, lingering kiss on his waiting lips. His hands find your waist, settling comfortably there, and you sigh and nestle deeper into the familiar warmth of his embrace.

When you pull back, Hoseok’s eyes are still shut, so you take the opportunity to memorize his face all over again. There’s the sharp angle of his nose and the dip of his dimples, and the way his cheeks slope down toward a jawline that could cut glass. Then your gaze drops down to the soft curve of his mouth, and the freckle that rests atop his upper lip, just shy of the center. It’s your favorite part of him, and you can’t resist the urge to lean in and kiss it, smiling as you feel his lips curve up into a tired grin.

“C’mon,” he murmurs, soft and low. “I’m beat. Let’s go to bed.”

You blink and look up at him questioningly. “You’re going to bed without showering? You?”

“Hey,” Hoseok says, his hands sliding up until he can tickle you along the ribs. “I showered at the studio already, you perv. Were you hoping to watch?”

“I was hoping to join,” you correct, wriggling out his grasp and dancing out of his reach. “But, fine, I get it if you don’t want to shower with your super-hot girlfriend. Totally understand.”

Hoseok laughs, his eyes crinkling at the corners in the way you love so much. “Next time,” he promises, and you catch the edge of mischief in his voice even as he leads you to your shared bedroom and flops down onto the mattress with his eyes shut. 

Silently, you join him. The mattress sags under the added weight, your knees sinking into the plush as you kneel beside your boyfriend and start undressing him. You start with his shirt, unbuttoning the oversized white tee before slipping his arms out. Then you undo his belt and jeans, pulling the denim down to his ankles until you’ve freed his legs. 

Now only in his boxers, Hoseok opens his eyes again. He watches as you carefully climb into his lap, settling atop him comfortably with one leg on either side of his thighs. Gingerly, you reach up to remove his yellow beanie, freeing his mussed hair so you can comb your fingers through the soft strands. 

“You gotta help me out on this next bit,” you tell him as you reach up and pull aside the covers. “I’m not about to roll you into bed, and I definitely can’t lift you up without hurting myself.”

Hoseok chuckles. Then, in a surge of motion you were wholly unprepared for, he flips you—until your back is flush against the mattress and he’s hovering over you with a grin that can only be described as devilish. 

“Wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself, baby,” he murmurs, his mouth finding your ear and nipping at the lobe. “That would ruin all the fun I have planned for us this weekend, and we definitely don’t want that, do we?”

You can only shake your head. This upcoming weekend marks your one-year anniversary, and on most days, you still can’t believe you’ve made it this far. Not with Jung Hoseok, one of the most famous men in all of South Korea—if not the world, at this point. It’s beyond your wildest imaginings—and yet, here you are.

“Love you,” you whisper, and he returns the sentiment between kisses—one to your forehead, two to your cheeks, and a final lingering one on your lips. 

“Love you more,” he rasps, and you giggle and pull him down for one last kiss.

A glance at the clock on the nightstand would have told you it was nearing two in the morning, but you don’t need the numbers to know that bedtime is long overdue. Untangling your limbs from your boyfriend’s, you stand and head for the closet in search for your pajamas. Hoseok does the same, and it isn’t long before you’re both back in bed, tucked beneath the covers. This time, your head is resting on his chest, and he’s tracing nonsensical patterns into your arm even as he turns off the light with his free hand. 

“G’night,” he whispers into your hair, but you barely even hear it as you drift off, soothed by his touch and the steady drumbeat of his heart.

Slytherin Quidditch Team Captain Marcus Flint

Aka Marcus' history of playing Quidditch (and teeny tiny flintwood ok)

Marcus loved Quidditch since he can remember. His parents were opposed to him wasting time by playing dumb sports but it motivated Marcus a lot so they started using it. You know, if he did great in homeschooling, he could have played. If he went to a banquet and behaved, he could have gone to a Quidditch game. He was a huge Montrose Magpies fan since he was 5.

Terence gave him a little figurine for his 9th bday (it was the day Marcus first considered him his best friend) like those which shake heads but it was a Quidditch player on a broom, shaking on a stand like it was flying. Later they painted it together so it was dressed in a Montrose tee

***

After he went to Hogwarts, he knew he would be playing his house team and was mad he couldn't take part in tryouts in his first year. Marcus and Terence participated in the tryouts next year. Marcus made it to the first team and Terence to reserve.

The third and fourth years were the absolute worst for Marcus. He struggled with his self-esteem, the relationship with his parents was getting worse and worse, he was doing badly at school. Most of his self-validation came from Quidditch's successes. It was also a peak at his hatred towards Wood. He saw Wood as the better version of himself, good at quidditch but also handsome, liked by everyone, at least average student. And Wood was a great rival but back then Marcus didn't respect that, he was losing against Wood which stole the only crumbs of self-validation he had. It was easier to direct that hate to Wood instead of admitting he hate himself.

***

Marcus became the captain in his 5th year. He was getting better mentally and it was huge for him as well, he felt appreciated, actually good at something. Marcus made a fucking revolution in the team. The last captain kept his players and friends even if they were worse. It made Marcus furious and he argued about that multiple times to the point he was benched. He wasn't selected by the last captain to take on his role, Snape chose him.

Marcus held tryouts even for occupied positions, arguing they shouldn't be worried if they were so good. Montague, Derrick, and Adrian made it to the first team, Lucian had been on reserve before and promoted. Cass stayed in the reserve team and Miles was added to it. Basically whole-ass revolution. The only players that stayed were Terence as a seeker, the keeper who ended Hogwarts a year later and was replaced with Miles, and Marcus obviously.

The Team started existing and ruining rivals' dreams.

Marcus was in his 6th year when Falmouth Falcons contacted him with a possible offer. It was also a year he started respecting Wood. Sixteen years old Marcus' self-esteem was almost good and he didn't hate himself anymore. It affected his opinion of Wood. Marcus became glad that Wood was there. Great rival meant great challenges and skill development to be better than him. But also, Marcus felt like Oliver would understand him. They didn't talk at all but Flint thought they were really similar with their ambitions and passion. Wood would understand the sacrifices Marcus made for Quidditch because he did the same.

In his 7th year, Montrose Magpies contacted him. It would be a dream come true for little Marcus but 17 yo Marcus panicked. He knew he should feel happy and fulfilled but what he felt were anxiety and doubts. He wasn't sure if that's what he wants to dedicate his life to. He was afraid of sacrifices, injuries and lifestyle that came with a quidditch career. But mostly, losing that pure happiness from playing. And he wouldn't want to life without it.

When he failed his Potions exam a lot happened. Getting disowned and kicked out of the home, repeating his 7th year... Marcus had more time to think about it all. He became sure he wouldn't start a quidditch career. One day, Oliver Wood started randomly screaming at him. He genuinely didn't know what's going on, his relationship with Wood got better, he didn't remember doing anything that could anger the guy. "What the bloody fuck you mean you won't go professional?! It was supposed to be me versus you, against each other in England Cup".

Marcus had no idea how that information got to Wood but he found himself smiling at the outburst.

"Oh, you want me in your future, Ollie?"

Oliver got all red but didn't answer this, instead, he continued screaming.

"I am sure you did have at least one offer, what's wrong with you?!"

"You're sure? Why?" If Oliver didn't answer him, he didn't have to do it as well.

Oliver suddenly stopped in his movement.

"Because you're great, you know this, right? " he furrowed his eyebrows "There's not a chance no one contacted you."

Marcus was taken aback. His relationship with Wood did get better but he didn't expect compliments.

"Thank you" he stopped for a second but added "Oliver, you better kick some asses in the league. In a few years I want to be able to brag about scoring against the big star Oliver Wood, yeah?"

***

Marcus settled in muggle London. Got his shit together, started working in a tattoo studio, finally asked Oliver Wood out, still loved Quidditch, played a lot for fun, and watched most of the matches. He cheered his boyfriend during all his matches other than those against Montrose Magpies.

And life was good.

Life update, I did find a work. It's my first week now so I still don't really know how I feel about it and if I actually am capable of doing this shit. But life is life, nothing I can't handle and if it is something I can't handle that's okay, worst think that can happen is getting kicked out

☆ MASTERLIST

You can hear the poor attempts of your friends "whispering" outside your door, trying not to let out a groan as they all giggle amongst themselves. The calendar hanging on your wall mocks you as you stare at the date circled in red. 

July 16th. 

Your birthday. A day you - unlike others - did not enjoy. 

The door creaks open slowly, as they try to invade your room much too early in the morning. A whispered countdown of '3, 2, 1' before a chorus of cheers and 'Happy Birthdays!' are yelled. You try to give them a smile - you really do - but it's 9:43 AM and you hate your birthday and your bedhead has to be hideous right now. Eddie settles down next to you immediately, a grin on his face that doesn't falter even slightly.

"Happy birthday, sweetheart." He whispers gently, pressing a peck to your cheek. Well, this isn't the worst. Dustin interrupts the moment immediately, holding a poorly wrapped box in his hands - the proud gleam in his eyes as he urges you to take it makes you think he may have personalised this gift himself. You pull him in for a hug, and then continue to do so for the rest (Nancy's gift excites you a little more than the others, knowing whatevers under the pastel pink wrapping paper is thoughtful to you.)

"Alright, alright!" Eddie jumps up, beginning to push the others out of your room as they complain, "It's my girlfriend's birthday and therefore up to me to make her day - so shoo!" He has to give Dustin and Lucas one last hard shove before slamming the door dramatically, theatrically wiping his hands on his jacket - a new jacket it seems. 

"Hi, honey." You say, morning voice obvious. 

"Hi to you too, beautiful." Eddie seats himself down once more, pushing aside the gifts now littered amongst your bed as you jump into his arms. "You ready for the best birthday you've ever had?" You nod stiffly - knowing as long as you're with Eddie, you won't ever really have a bad day. Even on your detested birthday. "'Cmon baby, that's not nearly enthusiastic enough." 

"Sorry, Eds." You nuzzle into his neck, mumbling, "I don't really like my birthday, y'know?" He nods. 

"Then, don't think of today as your birthday. Think of it as… as us having an insanely fancy date on this particular day for no reason!" 

"So, you're taking me on an 'insanely fancy date' today?" Eddie freezes, mumbling a string of 'fuck' and 'shit' under his breath. You laugh, watching him fumble as you instead busy yourself with playing with his jacket. "This for me too?" You ask.

"Yeah - I didn't think my Black Sabbath tees would be the most appropriate look for En-" He stops himself, jokingly pushing you back down as he hops up, "Stop! No more making me spoil our date today!" 

"I'm not making you!" You giggle once more, pulling yourself up. "So, I should wear something appropriate for Enzo's, right?" 

"Are you fucking-" 

— 

Walking hand-in-hand with Eddie along the dark streets of Hawkins with his jacket over your shoulders is enough to make you positively swoon, and you quite literally have to force yourself to keep from giggling like a schoolgirl. Eddie had postively been the best gentleman all night long (Apart from the breadstick sword fight he initiated, but that's up to interpretation), and when he had asked for a combined bill at the end of dinner, his eagerness to sell to just about anything that walked in the last few weeks made sense - and it only made your heart flutter some more to know how long he had been planning leading up to your birthday. 

Speaking of which - this may be the last birthday you can remember not hating. 

"So," Eddie begins, obviously nervous despite the smirk he sports, "You have fun today?" You snort.

"Firstly, you sound like a dad." His comments of 'Well, I'd be a great one,' die down as you continue, "But yes, I did." Eddie smiles, genuinely. A soft smile that makes his eyelids crinkle and accentuates those pretty brown eyes. "Thank you." You whisper into the howling wind of the night, but he hears you anyway. He always does. 

You pretend not to see your mother peeking at you and Eddie through the window as you reach home - slightly (extremely) disappointed at how short the walk felt. It's quiet between the two of you, no words are really needed anyway when Eddie intertwines your fingers, pulling you in by the waist for a kiss - or 5. A breathless "I love you" comes from him in between every kiss, and you want to laugh because you should be saying it. 

"Eddie - My mum's definitely watching." He sighs, unable to resist going in for just one more kiss. 

"I know you don't like your birthday, but I couldn't resist getting you a present," You groan, but he cuts you off, "Nothing expensive or grand like Enzo's! Swear! Just… Just ask your mum for 'Eddie's present' when you get inside, alright?" You raise an eyebrow, but agree anyway, and with one last, last, kiss, your Romeo is off. 

"Mum?" You ask into the house, knowing she can't have run off far from her creeping at the window. 

"Welcome home - how did your date go?" She asks, and you roll your eyes with a snort.

"Clearly well, as you saw." She waves you off. "Uhm, Eddie said he had a gift for me." She points to the fridge, and you see a smile tug at her lips. 

Eddie's gift is front and center as soon as you open the fridge - a pretty pink cake with sprinkles thrown onto the terribly spread icing. Eddie's appalling handwriting is somehow even more illegible in the black icing on top.

Happy birthday, love.

5 things you’d buy Joey for his Bday?

I've been thinking about this question for the past few hours cause like what the hell would you buy a millionaire?? but i guess id get him these things:

More Legos

More of those lil silicone bracelets he loves (even tho lots of us hate em, i know it'd make him happy lol)

A turtle, someone told me that he had some when he was a kid and I think he'd enjoy having one cause they're low maintenance and can be left with anyone (probably not with Tee tho)

Leather assless chaps bc booty cheeks

A new phone wallet because the one he has looks like its been through hell & back and probably has the germs of a gas station toilet.

It was time for a new lunchbox and my youngest squib was jealous of giant squib that they got a Deep Cut custom art tee for their bday. So, I made it up to tiny squib by making her a new lunchbox with a similar design since her current lunchbox at the time needed to be dragged out back and… it was a massacre, folks. I should have apologized to the spirit of lunchboxes for what happened to that thing.

ANYWAY! It took a couple weeks to arrive, but here’s her new food transport. She just made a new friend at Summer Camp who saw her drawing Pearl and professed her own love for Splatoon. I’m so happy for her! I hope they have a great time at camp hashing out new fanon 🦑
