Fic Recs Wrap Up July 2025 (ノﾟ∀ﾟ)ノ⌒･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*☆

Dormiscere by sara_holmes @captn-sara-holmes

Harry can’t sleep but it’s okay - turns out he’s not the only one. Rec Post

Rough Magic by birdsofshore

Malfoy’s magic has run wild. But though wild magic is unpredictable and greatly feared, Harry’s damned if he’s going to let Malfoy rot in St Mungo’s while they work out what to do with him. Rec Post

 A Forward Path by umbrellaless22

The war may be over, but someone, or something, is exacting revenge on the Slytherins during Harry and Draco’s eighth year. After Draco is attacked, Harry is corralled into helping him recover. Draco is not especially pleased. Oh, an somewhere along the way, they quite accidentally adopt a first year. Rec Post

The Safe House by emmagrant01

Aurors Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are forced to spend Christmas together in a safe house. Bet you can guess what happens. ;-) Rec Post

Passing Stranger by lettersbyelise @lettersbyelise

Five years after the war, Harry, listless and depressed, stumbles upon Draco Malfoy playing the violin in an underground bar in Muggle London. The catch? Draco lost his memories five years ago. Ignoring his friends’ advice, Harry befriends an unwitting Draco, overlooking the fact that their mutual attraction might not survive if Draco’s memories return. Rec Post

Here are a few more fics I've read recently that y'all might like to check out as well! (੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆

The Boy Who Loved Him by maraudersaffair @maraudersaffair

It's Eighth Year, and Harry just wants to have fun. Too bad he has to share a room with Draco Malfoy. And too bad Harry can't find an appropriate place to shag his boyfriend.

There's no way Malfoy would ever catch them in the act, right?

Twenty’s Plenty by orolin @erin-orolin

After a string of failed relationships and a Witch Weekly article that proclaims anyone who has dated over twenty people is more likely to end up alone, Draco decides enough is enough. There must’ve been someone in his past who he missed a connection with, so there’s only one thing for it. Hunt down all of his exes and find The One. What he didn't account for was Harry Potter coming along for the ride.

distressing things to say to your friends

[thusspoketrish]

Hey there!

I’m opening THIRTEEN Drarry art commission slots to help raise up to $1,000 for school supplies and backpacks for the youth-centered arts nonprofit I help run!

Each commission is $75, and 100% of proceeds go directly toward buying backpacks, notebooks, markers, glue sticks, and other tools of creativity for our upcoming back-to-school event, supporting kids in some of the most underserved neighborhoods in Chicago, from kindergarten through eighth grade.

WHAT YOU’LL GET:

One expressive, full-color digital portrait of Draco and/or Harry based on your headcanon, fic moment, song lyrics, or whatever vibe fuels you!

Follow-up photos of the supplies + joy YOU helped fund!

A custom-designed thank you card!

My eternal gratitude!

NO extra fees for backgrounds/details. NO charges for adding Harry and Draco. Just some super queer art created to your liking for a worthy cause rooted in creativity, community, and care.

I’ll be taking commissions in the order they’re received.

If $75 is too much, please reach out to me. We can work something out! Additionally, if you can give anything, even $5 will help us reach the last stretch of our funding goals to serve over 300 youth at this year's event!

Turnaround time is approx. 2–3 weeks with regular updates and WIPs along the way. For more complex pieces, please expect up to 4 weeks. I love keeping you in the loop!

🔞 Note: I’m not accepting NSFW commissions for this round, but I’m happy to refer you to amazing artists who are!

Check my Ko-fi goal tracker + support or commission me here:

➡️ KO-FI!!!!

DM me on here or on Discord (Trishjames — I’m in the big Drarry server!) to claim your slot or ask questions.

Please reblog to help me reach fellow Drarry lovers, and let’s get these kids ready for school with much needed backpacks and school supplies!

matchmaker, matchmaker

“I can’t believe I have to do this with you again, Potter. I thought you and Justin were a decent match. He was everything you said you wanted in a partner." Malfoy picked a piece of paper off of his desk and started reading from it. “‘Nice to me and my friends. Romantic. Easy to talk to. A good sense of humor.’”

“Yeah, but there wasn’t any spark.” Harry shrugged. “I don’t know why I came back here either. I’m starting to think you’re not very good at your job.”

“I’m amazing at my job. I’m responsible for thirty different marriages, at least nine of which have resulted in children. I’m the biggest boon to the wizarding birth rate since Celestina Warbeck’s ‘Bedroom Magic.’ You’re just picky.”

“I know what I want, sue me.”

“Relationships that last aren’t about what you want, they’re about what you need. You want someone who is nice, who will say all the right things and swoon on command. But you’re too hopped up on public adoration for any of that to feel real. What you need is honesty. Someone who will tell it to you like it is and call you on your shit so that when they tell you they love you, you actually believe them.”

Harry’s brain short-circuited for a moment, not entirely sure how offended he should be by Malfoy’s frank assessment before another, much more offensive thought crossed his mind. “You realize you just described yourself.”

“Fuck, I did. I’m blunt in a way that would be good for you, and I know you think my jokes are funny, don’t try to deny it. You’re impressive and competent, which is what I want. And you don’t take my shit, which is what I need. It would be a good match. Fuck.” 

“Fuck,” Harry agreed. “I’ll pick you up at 8.”

“7:30.” Malfoy slid as far down into his chair as possible. “I hate how good I am at my job.”

The beginning (Grimmauld Roommates AU)

[thusspoketrish]

NEW FIC DROP!

Loosely inspired by Jennifer’s Body, but with more eyeliner, more blood, and far worse decisions. It’s Drarry at its most unhinged: a love story for the doomed and the damned. There’s betrayal, horror, ancient magic, murder, and hunger. All of it for the terrible, beautiful price of being wanted.

Summary: This is not the eighth year Harry had in mind.

A concert turns into chaos. Malfoy turns into something else entirely, strange and beguiling and maybe a little dangerous. Harry, stuck as his roommate-slash-saviour-slash-frenemy, is about to find out what happens when you mix horror, heartbreak, and persistent hunger—er, yearning. Spoiler Alert: Nothing good.

Eat Your Heart Out now posting!

Read it here on AO3.
