[ganondoodle]

since tumblr always has to suffer my personal vents and breakdowns and rants and annoyances you get the most wips and pics of unfinished stuff, im sure that makes up for it

day 21 of @hprecfest — a fic rated M | previous recs

author rec! more importantly: tacky rec! evocative, poignant & mature (heh), @tackytigerfic's works are charmed slices of aching life. tacky has a gift for making a meal out of the mundane: their style is imbued with the hush of a glade, something quiet that burrows under your skin and expands there. writing about magic lends itself to the excitement of outlandish predicaments— fuck or die marriage bonds, werewolves, time travel— but i love how tacky takes these improbabilities as opportunities to explore the vulnerable and common humanity that fuels love, friendship, desire, grief. i'd take a chance on tacky's spin on every ship, every trope & every circumstance, purely because i'm convinced they'd take as good care of me as a reader as they do their brilliant, complicated, messy characters.

i chose tacky's M-rated works because i think they best demonstrate how narrative pleasure can, and often does, lie outside the graphic. for an action-oriented, fast-paced reader like me, fics that hold my attention through careful tension & hard-earned payoff are especially enthralling. everything tacky writes, regardless of rating, is glorious & an instant recommendation, but when i think of especially fascinating work with a rating that doesn't usually hold space in my preferences, it's these:

between the power lines (M, 3.2k)

For Harry Potter, all roads eventually lead to Draco Malfoy.

an elaboration & attestation to my personal maxim: to fall in or out of love with someone, take a trip with them. glory be that these two do, glory be that it's the former. this fic stretches and softens with every word, like resin in the sun.

the long fall (M, 3.6k)

It's supposed to be a simple house renovation, and maybe it's just the paint fumes, but Harry is feeling dizzy around Draco Malfoy. And what's the real meaning of family, anyway?

vignettes from a life & love that glow hotter with every change. every word exchanged carries the weight of so much history, care & consideration. the dynamic is sweet & achy, a take on new parenthood that leans entirely into the uncertainty & joy of changing realities.

last offices (M, 6.7k) (mcd)

It didn't seem fair that Malfoy was dead, and Harry was supposed to just keep on living without him.

i reread everything before reccing, but i couldn't bring myself to reread this one because of the sharp, acute devastation of it. pain, regret, grief, dialled up to the extreme and done shatteringly well. the non-linearity of this fic is especially cruel; the heartbreak is never allowed to settle. 100% recommended!

our little life (M, 7.2k)

Sometimes Harry dreams. Only they're not really dreams at all, and Malfoy is always in them. It's time travel, but not as we know it, and Harry just needs a good night's sleep.

entire lives woven into snippets of togetherness, the call of something distant yet inevitable. harry dreams of universes with draco, which is to say, harry dreams of universes where he's loved. also includes the absolutely stellar line: Harry wondered if there was any possible universe in which Malfoy wasn’t an absolute dick about his dad.

take the moon (M, 15k)

Harry Potter has always wanted a family of his own, and when a deadly blood curse forces him into a marriage bond with his best friend Draco Malfoy, it looks like he might just have found one. This isn't the story of the marriage. This is the story of two hurt and damaged men who learned how hard they could work for the sake of love.

two men who don't quite know how to allow what they want fully into their lives, a slow crunch of yearning, the even heat of a dynamic that holds itself away from the brink, brilliantly satisfying when they give into the fall.

in conclusion: a stellar author with a flair for the understated whose works call to be savoured. as always, if you love them (it's tacky, who doesn't?), let me know!

Loki trying to get Mobius’ attention while Mobius is occupied with other things.

aka I love writing Loki ogling at Mobius 🤭

nothing too explicit, just regular sexual tension and stuff 👀

“Mobius?” Loki calls the agent’s name for a second time.

A barely audible “Hm?” is Mobius’ only response. Loki is both irritated and curious. Mobius appears to be in deep concentration with his eyebrows furrowed and the tip of pink tongue peeking out from the corner of his mouth. It’s outright ridiculous for a TVA officer to look so…desirable.

Just like earlier, when Mobius was fiercely tapping away on his TemPad while using that application. Loki had no idea what Mobius was actually doing, or how he managed to look so great doing it; with his quick and deft fingers sliding across the screen with such ease and precision.

Stupidly, it made Loki wonder and imagine those fingers in another — more promiscuous — scenarios.

No pressure tagging: @lokimobius @kcscribbler @distracteddream @boredintjqueen @elodiah @stillwanderingflame @in-my-loki-feels and everyone else who wants to do it ��

“They have everything they need. They have more than what they need. So yes, I think it’s just fine to take a few frivolous things from them in order to make sure we survive. Do you really think their luxuries are worth more than our lives?”

Wip: Elsewhere

happy wip wednesday!

i was tagged by @fauville to share some of my wip. admittedly, i haven't been doing as much writing as i want to recently, so i decided to share a piece of my wip that's likely going to end up getting cut from the final draft (i don't think it's compliant with wayhaven's lore around vampires sleeping). i didn't want the excerpt to disappear forever into the ether, so i thought i'd share some of my writing-that-almost-was while i work on my writing-that-will-be.

as always, i'm still not allowed to edit my draft.

i am tagging @lalizah @thee-morrigan @anticupid16 and anyone else who wants to participate!
