[crazybutgood]

When you get this, please respond with five things that make you happy and then, send to the last ten people in your notifs. you never know who might benefit from spreading positivity <3

Thank you for the ask @moonstruckwytch and @nelweensfic ❤️❤️ ! I can't think of general things rn, especially without repeating my past answers, so here's specific things that recently happened that made me happy:

1. @ladderofyears reaching out and giving invaluable help and encouragement when I was in a bad space. It's still slowly getting better, but I really needed the conversation then

2. Working with the incredible @rockingrobin69 for brainstorming and admin for the posts for my origami christmas project. She's been an absolute star

3. Physical classes cancelled for this Wednesday and Thursday. That also allowed me to shift up an appointment to Thursday

4. the lovely @andithiel making a banner for my fic

5. Updates of the fic discordia by @swoontodeath

[lilbeanz]

@l0vegl0wsinthedark @moonstruckwytch I hope you don't mind me answering both at once😁

Halloween Spooks!

I focused on creatures last year, so I wanted to give my attention to everything else horrific this year. Enjoy these scary and suspenseful recs! 👻

100 Words of Horror by @moonstruckwytch (3,100 words total, rated M)

A collection of Fear Fest Works. Each chapter is 100 words.

*I especially recommend chapters 5, 9, 10, 17, 20, 21, & 22

What is lost stays lost by @cavendishbutterfly (456 words, rated T)

Sometimes Harry leaves the castle in the middle of the night, and Draco follows him.

The Manor by @kittycargo (1,405 words, rated T)

There was something wrong with the Manor.

The mimic by @steampunkserpent27 (797 words, rated T)

Harry hears Draco (who he presumes dead) calling for help outside of his cabin one night. Only, something isn't quite right.

iterum by @moonstruckwytch (2,127 words, rated M)

dark magic keeps draco malfoy alive, even when he shouldn't be. unfortunately, to stay that way he's going to have to give something up—something important.

the tedious work of soothing grief with love by luminae (2,363 words, rated M)

Ginny doesn't like working as a medium. Never has, probably never will. The grief-stricken make for bad company and Harry, while handsome and kind, is no exception.

Cruel Blade by @wheezykat (2,572 words, rated E)

Drowning in his grief after the murder of his husband, Draco will do anything to bring him back.

But this is not Harry. This is something else entirely.

The Willing Flesh by @corvuscrowned (2,763 words, rated E)

Draco shows Harry how to do blood magic. Harry shows Draco just how powerful The Chosen One can become.

at the end of his tether by @helle-bored (4,280 words, rated M)

There's a worn page folded in an inner pocket of Harry's robes with a single underlined paragraph.

Discrete magical signatures have been observed after the destruction of a Dementor. Some scholars believe this implies that the souls of its victims persist as captives within its form, as opposed to undergoing immediate obliteration, and therefore serve the purpose of providing the creature with sustenance over a prolonged period of time.

Harry has carried it for nearly two years.

when god closes a door by luminae (4,400 words, rated T)

Harry usually cares far less about so-called haunted houses and ghosts. They aren't real, after all. Except when they ruin his evening.

Saltwater Stain by @the-starryknight (9,000 words, rated E)

Seven days stuck on a boat investigating a rogue ghost wouldn't be so bad if Harry didn't want Draco so much. Draco has his rules and Harry's content to follow them, but the air feels different away from the shore. Is it possible that the sea could offer Harry something impossible on land?

*be sure to check out last week’s Happy Hour Rec of this fic by @wolfpants as well!

Time and Time Again by @rainbees (16,316 words, rated T)

Draco doesn't know why he keeps stepping into his own future, nor why it involves a hallway covered in Harry Potter's blood.

it is not a house by luminae (43,388 words, rated E)

There are many stories that can happen in a forgotten house, in the middle of the Arctic. Heart-warming tales about human connection and finding the essence of the self. Epic love stories that defy reason. Warnings about the hubris of human explorations. This is both none of the above and a bit of all. This is a horror story.

Vis-à-Vis-à-Vis by @vukovich (49,999 words, rated E)

Harry's assignment was simple. Close out Draco Malfoy's missing persons case so he can be declared dead.

But who's making withdrawals from Malfoy's vaults? How is a death omen-turned-Unspeakable involved? Is an organization known as the Moirai to blame?

Harry brushes it off until he can't. Until The Prophet is flooded with sightings of dead people. Until Robards throws himself on his sword. Until Ron turns on his own family. Until Harry scarcely trusts his own reflection in the mirror and trusts the stranger in his bed even less.

Until all that stands between war and peace is Harry, a name plate, a stadium of murderers, and Draco Malfoy.

God save the Ministry.

Yours is the Earth (Hold On, Hold On) by chickenlivesinpumpkin (127,167 words, rated E)

After a serious accident in the Forbidden Forest, Draco's personality begins to undergo subtle changes. At first, Harry credits this to a new enthusiasm for life. But as the days pass and Draco's behavior becomes more and more mysterious, Harry begins to suspect that something bigger--and darker--is at work.

my year in fic

big smooches to @oknowkiss (x), @lqtraintracks (x),  @maesterchill (x), and @cavendishbutterfly (x) for the challenge to share one line from each fic i wrote this year. it was such a nice way to look back on my year in fic writing! p.s. we are interpreting the word “one line” v loosely here folks

shades of dawn | E, 3k, angsty ginlav

The night after Lavender comes and goes, the moon always appears to be just as full as the night before, but Ginny knows that the smallest part of it is missing.

magpie | T, 4k, klepto harry

Draco thinks Potter might be able to take things from him not just with his hands, but with those eyes alone. He thinks if Potter keeps looking at him this way for long enough, Draco might just offer it all up. 

lovesick | T, 13k, healer draco, love potion victim harry

“Maybe I’m a bit tired of all of the swooning and heart eyes and —” of watching you love anyone else. Draco shakes his head. “Forget it.” 

ad infinitum | E, 14k, angsty getting-back-together + sentient house

“I love you,” Harry says. “I don’t care about any of it. I love you.”

“I know,” Draco murmurs. “You always did the most idiotic things.”

from the same cloth | T, 8k, t4t  idiots to lovers

Draco nods, and Harry realizes his face is stitched with the same nerves that are butterflying through her stomach — and the feeling the two of them are standing side by side on the precipice of something new, and there’s nothing left to do but fall into it.

undergrowth | M, 2.5k, horror + floral pining

Draco worries that Potter’s eyes might carry sunlight, and if they shine on him too long, he’ll have no choice but to grow, and grow, and grow.

the seventh life | E, 18k, vampire!draco & immortal!harry reunited in paris

“Oh, I don’t know,” Draco said. “I only know the times I’ve loved you.”

“How many times has that been?” Harry pushed.

“Since the very first time I met you,” Draco said. “Six lifetimes ago.”

ash, fire, ash | G, 1k, arsonists to lovers

Malfoy tosses the butt of their cigarette into the flames. “They’ll know it’s you doing it eventually.”

“Good,” Harry says. “Then maybe it’ll make them remember my name.”

an emerald in the sky | M, 6k, time traveling fuckbuddies to lovers

There are so many Harrys sitting in front of him right now, so many men he’s met once and then lost, threading their way in and out of his life at the sharp point of a needle. The composite sum of so many strangers, and a single man whom Draco has been fighting, from the very beginning, not to fall in love with.

with hands full of dusk | E, 15k, drarry as mythical creature hunters

But Harry is older now, and has long since learned that doubt and hope are just two shades of the same color. 

the night of the fireworks | E, 6k, porn with feelings

Harry’s mind was swirling, still slightly loopy in a post-sex haze. “You love me,” he said. “You said it first.”

“I didn’t say it,” Draco said. “It doesn’t count. Fuck off.”

twelve moons | T, 6k, innkeeper harry & potioneer draco

Draco climbs the first step to the door, and Harry joins him on it, learning immediately that there isn’t space for two, unless you’d like to see the other person up close — the way the glow of the moonlight might be captured on their hair, or on their skin, or in their eyes.

Thanks for tagging me when I had nothing to share @artsyunderstudy​, @j-nipper-95​, @martsonmars​ and @hushed-chorus​. I loved seeing your snippets!

I’m hopefully almost done with my drarry fic for an anon fest (which got out of hand...again). 

I started drafting a new snowbaz fic called Hiding, and here’s a bit of dialogue after Baz makes Simon wear a fake moustache and a leather jacket to leave the house in disguise:

(Simon speaking first)

“I look like one of those gay men from the eighties.” “You’re the one who wanted to go out.” “But I’m not gay.” “…” “What’s that face? With the patented eyebrow raise...” “You know, that’s precious coming from someone who sucked my cock two minutes ago...” “Well, I’m not straight either.” “…” “I’m some kind of…I don’t know. Baz-sexual.” “Really?” “It’s not my fucking fault you’re the hottest man in the world. Shut up.”

My Bloody Valentine 2022 : Masterlist of DRARRY fics

@hpdarkarts || official masterpost || AO3 || ∑ = 16 works The Mod(s) : @writcraft + Banner © : Megu Keira

1. Burning Pile by @floydig [M, 1k]

Harry and Malfoy are Auror Partners. Harry is a shit Auror. He hates the rules, and he hates the politics, and he hates the paperwork, and he hates all of the fucking death. But Harry doesn’t hate Malfoy. No, Harry doesn’t hate Malfoy at all.

2. The Dark Mirror by @mystickitten42 [E, 2k]

He’s dreamed of Malfoy every night this week, so it’s really no surprise when he finds himself outside the manor gates with no recollection of how he got there…

3. The Edge of Something by @tackytigerfic [M, 1k]

Draco Malfoy isn't dead. He is, however, appearing in incorporeal form in Harry Potter's bedroom. No one but Harry can hear or see him. Harry's boss at the DMLE thinks he needs to get some sleep. Harry just wants his auror partner back.

4. homebound by @softlystarstruck [T, 1k]   *restricted

There is a house that sits at the edge of a forest.

5. In Plain Sight by @pennygalleon [M, 4k]

Harry doesn’t tire of this. It’s a sense of belonging he’d never even dared to dream of having back when he was living with the Dursleys. So it's probably too good to be true...

6. iterum by @moonstruckwytch [M, 2k]

dark magic keeps draco malfoy alive, even when he shouldn't be. unfortunately, to stay that way he's going to have to give something up—something important.

7. Lateralus by @shiftylinguini [T, 2k]

The world after the war was so big, and so untamed. Magic spilled out of every corner, creatures never seen before watching from nooks that never used to exist. There were colours in the air, in the morning dew drops on the leaves―indescribable, and new. Otherworldly, and pulled from a spectrum that shouldn't be visible in their world.

8. Magpie by @corvuscrowned [E, 4k]

Potter doesn't steal because he needs anything, Draco quickly learns. He doesn't do it because it makes him feel anything. It isn't about power, and it isn't about control. Potter just does it because he can.

9. Nine by @the-starryknight [M, 1k]

How could Draco have known he’d prefer the Unforgivable?

Complete fics posted on AO3 this day

1. Pet Names by Arrow_Jaeger [T, 4k]

►Harry and Draco find it hard to call each other by their first names after a few years of only referring to each other as ‘Potter’ and ‘Malfoy’. Ron is sick of it, so Draco comes up with the idea to only call each other pet names for the next twenty-four hours. Naturally, Ron hates this plan.

2. What We'd Rather Leave Forgotten by @robinbuckllly [E, 72k]

►[...] “Is there some other element of my service that was unsatisfactory for you?” Draco asked, rather hostilely. “Or were you just planning on standing there for a while, continuing to make irrelevant points?”

3. what's inside the hadwen house? by @moonstruckwytch [T, 1k]

►exploring haunted houses with your boyfriend is a lot more stressful when he's insistent on terrorizing the ghosts.

Recommend us 3 of YOUR fics: 1 that is “most popular” and 2 that are “hidden gems.” Then tag some folks.

🏆 Come as You Are (2021, E, 3.8k)

my jock/nerd non-magical high school AU excels in all metrics. this fic even earned a beloved rec from @sitp-recs! this was by far the most fun i've had both in writing and in creating the social media edits. the. most. fun.

💎 Love Found (2020, E, 7.5k)

in my second completed drarry fic for my first ever fest, i rewrote the tower scene in HBP with draco working for the order alongside his bf HJP. easily one of my most excruciating writing experiences to date, which i talk about here. i've since made peace with this fic - i'm hella proud of every characterization - but it was a long time coming, facilitated in no small part by this cherished rec from @thesleepiesthufflepuff.

💎 10 Easy Steps (2020, T, 1.8k)

long before i discovered the joy of creating social media edits, i crafted a texting fic between draco and harry. listen, i adore this fic y'all - this draco is by far one of my favorites. i literally let the boys loose in my head and just wrote their banter. me, a scribe. seriously. also my first liv rec! humbled&honored y'all!

* * *

thank you @schmem14 (here) @mintawasalreadytaken (here) @goblinmatriarch (here) for the tags! y'all are amazing, and i bow. loved reading your posts & look forward to diving into your recs.

14 June | LCDrarry Fic:

My Big Fat Weasley Wedding

Prompt: “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”, 2002, Joel Zwick Prompted by: moonstruckwytch Author: Anonymous Word Count: 65,109 words words Rating: Mature Warnings: Strong language, mentions of alcohol

Notes: Thank you unendingly to our mods who have worked tirelessly to bring this incredible fest together. And especially thank you for the million and one extensions you gave me. I know I cut it down to the literal wire so I appreciate you not being too mad at me. I also have to give MASSIVE thanks to my wonderful beta. A, you have been my cheerleader (and occasional drill sergeant) this whole time. This story literally wouldn't exist if it weren't for you. I will have a lot more notes to add once this fic is revealed but for now I will just say... I hope you all enjoy it! One last note, and this will go for the entire fic. Throughout the story you will find references and Easter eggs. Some are movies or shows, others are playing homage to some of my favourite fanfics of all time. If you spot one drop it in the comments. I can't wait to see how much you all pick up on ;)

Summary: A decade after the war, Harry Potter is lost. There was a time when he knew exactly who he was, where he was going, and what he wanted. He is not that man anymore. Until one day he decides he is done. No more wearing clothes that don't fit, stuck in a job that was meant to be temporary, and simply coasting through his life. He has a plan. And, unsurpisingly, every single Weasley and honourary Weasley seems to have an opinion about it. But it's fine. Harry knows he is doing the right thing. What he didn't plan for, however, was to find love in the most unexpected place. And with the most unexpected person. Still, it's going to be fine. Like he said, he has a plan. Weasley opinions be damned. He's got it all under control. Doesn't he? Featuring a million Weasleys, a daft labrador, and a whole bunch of people just trying to figure out their lives.

Read it now on AO3.

Please help promote the fest by sharing your favourite submissions, so more people can enjoy all the amazing new Drarry works of LCDrarry. Thank you!

Author and artist reveals are on 15 June.

He lined a basket with small mirrors and praised his cleverness as he watched the light dancing in the trap he’d made. Then, the sun set, and the night stole his prize. He tried again and again, but never managed to hold the light for longer than a day. Sometimes he feared it was the same with him and Hermione. That it was just a matter of time before the sun set for them, leaving him in a world of shadows. That he'd be stuck weeding a field of endlessly growing dark thoughts until they finally overtook him. A story about running from the past, and what happens when it catches up…

today marks one year since i posted my very first fic, The Disappearing Act, which i suppose makes it my fandomversary. i’ve written a lot of words since that first fic, but i’ve also made some incredible friends who have been exceptional support both in my writing and in life.

i wanted to take a second to thank some of the folks who have made my fics possible with alpha and beta reading. this is a remarkable amount of volunteer labor that i think sometimes goes unappreciated in fandom, and the folks who are willing to help each other out with writing are seriously the glue holding all of this together. many of my betas have worked on numerous of my projects with me, so here are some of the amazing friends who have alpha and beta’d multiple of my fics over this past year, and a cheeky little plug for some of their own writing.

@m0srael​, who was an angel who swooped in to beta my first longfic when i was just a fandom baby and made me feel welcome and supported when i needed it most, and has read many a word for me thereafter. check out: my remarkable erised gift To Vanish Into Something Better, as well as their amazing timey-wimey fic, Our Time, that I will never forget.

@thebooktopus​, an early fandom partner in crime who was a joy to learn the ropes alongside. oh, maddy - saver of endings, calmer of crows. where would i be without you? check out: the soft yearning of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, the scaldingly sexy What Have You Been Hiding Under Those Robes, Professor Malfoy?

@t4tvegaspete​, the love of my life, who has alpha or beta read the vast majority of the fics i’ve written this year (we’re talking over 250k of my words), and without whom i would unequivocally not be the writer or person i am today. check out: their sexy-spooky Deal With The Devil and their wistfully sharp A Problem For Another Time.

@cavendishbutterfly​, who has made my fandom experience so warm and memorable and who never complains when i slide into their dms to ask if they can beta something for me, “uhhh... by, like, tomorrow?” ugh, cav, i don’t have words to say how much brighter you’ve made my time in fandom. check out: their cozy mystery cluefest The Ever Changing Room, their flannel, mitski, and cat infused friends to lovers song from the morning birds.

@vukovich​, who is evil in the way i enjoy most, who was a guiding hand in my early days of fandom, and whom i will now stop saying nice things about because i know she’s allergic. beta’d my 80k erised in like a week like a fucking champ and caught every plot hole i crammed into the thing. check out: her sexy, evil Vis-à-Vis-à-Vis, and her sexy, bittersweet Fearfull Trill.

@sorrybutblog​​, who is currently alpha reading my longass 110k and growing WIP with exceptional patience and irreplaceable insights, and who has allowed me to send her even more thousands of words of rambling thoughts in dms without complaining once. a vision, a saint, should become emperor of the universe. check out: her age-bent, whip-sharp and characteristically poignant Not Nineteen Forever, and her comforting, enrapturing, and mysterious Heartlines.

@crazybutgood​​, SPaG wizard extraordinaire, who has beta read more words for me than i can count with remarkable turnaround time and the sweetest, kindest words of support. check out: her fluffy, origami-infused fangfest Heart On Your Sleeve, and this amazing podfic she did for T4T.

@moonstruckwytch​, who beta read almost all of my fearfest fics from last year and was a hell of a beta and spooky writing partner whose company made last october unforgettable. check out: their fast-paced, rivetingly romantic catch a break, and their spooky My Bloody Valentine entry iterum.

this isn’t even close to a full list of everyone who has helped work on my fics in this past year, and i’m sending every single one of you a bouquet of noncorporeal roses. thanks to all of u, and to everyone who has read anything i’ve written, looked at my silly doodles, chatted with me abt fandom meta, and made this space feel like a home for the past year. you guys are all the coolest.

Thanks for tagging me on Wednesday @hushed-chorus. 

I’ve just finished the first chapter of my snowbaz fic Hiding, and I must say that it’s turning out more unhinged than I had originally planned. Btw, I’m putting it out there, just in case there’s a kind soul who would like to help -- I’m looking for a beta (just basic SPaG).

Here’s a snippet (Baz’s POV, minor warning for general horniness and wounds, but it’s not graphic):

I bunch up the fabric of his t-shit, instead, and then I cast a spell.

“Lick your wounds!”

I lean down and hesitate for a split-second before I close my eyes and let my tongue run across his skin, slowly and purposely, as an indecent moan escapes my lips while I lap at his wounded flesh. He tastes like singed magic and blood and rich butter. Like the most divine thing that has ever touched my lips and lingered on my tongue.

Snow groans and goes still under me, his breath caught in his throat as I lick him clean, my fangs sharp against his skin, the blunt part of them skimming across it without causing more harm than has already been done. His heartrate picks up, and I can almost feel it against my tongue, a skittish thing that sounds alive, probably scared to death that I’m going to drain him.

I exhale shakily as I lift my head with a considerable show of self-restraint. I lick my lips clean, watching him pant under me, his fingers shaking as they reach for my face, gently cupping my cheek. Crowley, he’s so warm, even though he must have lost a lot of body heat. And he’s only wearing a t-shirt in fucking March.

“More…” he mutters, and I shake my head, because I’ve already taken enough. My nostrils flare, and I worry I might cave in and bite him, to fill my mouth with the divine taste of him, to fill up my stomach and feel the essence of him running through my veins. “More,” he insists, letting his hand move, threading through the hair at the nape of my neck to gently push my face back down.

I realise that it’s six paragraphs instead of six sentences, but hey.
