Here's some drarry to get things going I guess
As you may have heard, Gallaplacidia will be taking down her work from AO3 and the Gallapod. However, she said in her announcement email that saving and sharing her work is fine with her, so I've archived it all here.
Here you'll find:
Epub downloads of all her fics from AO3
MP3s of the entire Gallapod, organized by fic and edited to include all the relevant metadata
If you love her work, I'd highly encourage you to download all of it for yourself. Please let me know if you find any errors in my labeling. Otherwise, enjoy!
Access the archive here.
Hello librarian! Your recs have given me so much joy already. I'm wondering if you can recommend any fics where they're both older - at least 35 or so? I've read Turn by saras_girl and am hungry for more I can identify with at this stage of my own life!
Aw, I love hearing that my little library and recs have brought you joy! I think you'll enjoy this list that I have already completed, but if you're looking for additional fics featuring Older Drarry, just send another ask and I'll look again!
Older Drarry
As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please show your appreciation and leave the creator a kudos or a comment!
❤️ Lots of Love and Happy Reading ❤️

It’s not so bad. Harry can’t remember much, though everything is tinted pensieve-blue. He can’t remember where the days go, or why his glassy walls sometimes distort with refractions of blonde hair, grey eyes large as windows peering in. He can’t remember much at all — it’s really not so bad.
50 words for the @drarrymicrofic prompt ‘terrarium’

Yours Truly by @skeptiquewrites (M, 15k)

Far from home
For @drarrymicrofic, prompt "island" and "pale". Thank you @cluelesspigeons for beta reading ✨
"You know it's in my DNA," Draco grumbled, suitcase in his hand. "I'll always be pale."
"Doesn't mean we can't go on vacation." Harry kissed Draco's temple before leading the way toward their room.
"Yeah, but the Polynesian Islands? Really?"
Harry rolled his eyes. It was one of their first vacations in ages and he wanted to be as far away from their current life as possible. Since Draco spoke French, he knew his husband would like to show off and Hermione told Harry that the wizards here were powerful and the magic was beautiful. Harry wanted to show it to Draco.
"I don't care if you look like a piece of paper here," Harry said when he opened the door with the tiny Muggle key. "All I want is to relax and enjoy the people, the traditions and—"
"And the food." Draco scrunched up his nose, the fishy and coconuty smell was everywhere.
"Yeah, everything." Harry dropped his suitcase on a chair and grabbed Draco by his waist, the necklace of flowers that hung around Draco’s neck brushing his arm. "I want you to enjoy this as much as me."
"Well then," Draco brushed his nose against Harry's, "let's put these clothes elsewhere."
"Something in mind, Mister Potter?" Harry hummed, fingers caressing Draco’s pale arms.
"Yes, I want to go swimming. It's too hot here. I’m going to die of the heat," he said mischievously. "Let's go, Potter."
full offense but none of you would have ever survived fanfiction.net in 2009
remember when writers had to be all like: “omg omg lemon starts HERE” y’all are lucky that ao3 has tags and filters you can set
Sometimes shit was marked “lemon” and it’d just be them making out, and sometimes they’d just start pissing on each other
No rules, no laws, you took your life into your hands opening fics
A/N: this contains SLASH, that means TWO MEN, if that makes you uncomfy, DON’T READ!
A/N: please don’t sue me, o anime overlords, I’m not making any money off of this! I’m just a broke student! I don’t have any money!
A/N: I totally wrote this while high off 10 Red Bulls wheeeeeee!!!!!
A/N: COMMENT if you want me to continue the next chappy!!!
No, no, no
remember when there’d be interactions with the author and the characters?
InuYasha: I don’t get why I have to be here for this
A/N: Because it was in your contract!!1!1 *revs chainsaw*
god those were lawless times.
ff.net is the ancestral homeland
I was traumatized by a fic where the author dressed Sephiroth and the final fantasy characters in dresses while actively conversing with the characters, who were appalled, as it happened and thank fuck we have moved on
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!
Any designs with witchy vibes?
long overdue witchy post, more witchy designs on the way!
:eyes: by @mossdeep-island
I understand why people dislike leather and animal products. But leather is such a good resource? Like… My mom bought a sturdy leather coat in 1989. I’m in my 20’s and I now wear that coat. That’s a 30 year old coat? 30 years, two generations, one coat. Versus, like… A plastic one, that rips and gets thrown out, or releases bits into the ecosystem every time it’s washed, takes a billion years to decompose, lasts maybe a decade if you’re super duper careful, and uses oil products in it’s construction. Like, yeah leather is expensive and comes from a living animal, and I’m not saying that you should go out and buy fifty fur and leather products for the he’ll of it, but like… Maybe the compromise is worth it? One animal product, valued and respected and worn down for generations, versus like… Six plastic products that will never ever go away?
idk, I could be wrong.
this is why im so fucking pissed white colonial fucks and white vegans get so enraged at indigenous people for using hides/leather and animal bones as if that shit breaks or rips like cheap polyester does
Remember, kids:
It’s not “vegan wool”, it’s plastic.
It’s not “vegan leather”, it’s plastic.
It’s not “vegan fur”, it’s fucking plastic. It’s all plastic.
It’s all fucking plastic, and every time you wash it, or damage it, or try to dispose of it, that plastic winds up in the water, in the earth, in the air.
Hell, the damage has already done when the fucking thing’s been made. As the OP says, it’s all oil and oil products; it creates pollution just to produce synthetic fabrics and materials, even before you try to throw them away, which, I mean, good luck with that.
A lot of vegan ideology is built up around a very superficial set of ethics that are supposedly about protecting animals, wildlife and the environment, but they fall apart when you look even a little bit below the surface. Every time you eschew an animal-based product in favour of something “synthetic” for the sake of “saving an animal’s life”, you’re creating pollution and trash that won’t go away for thousands of years, damaging the Earth and making life so much worse for countless animals and people.
Think about this stuff more than not at all, please.
Eeeeeeverybody loves to get up my asshole because I wear fur. Yeah? Okay then.
When you live somewhere with -40C winter temperatures, you realize that pragmatism and warmth trump all other considerations.
I’m in and out of cars and buildings all day, every day. I have to dress for the weather and fur is hands down one of the warmest things you can wear — ask the fucking Inuit.
So you know what I do?
I check consignment stores. I check estate auctions. I get family heirloom furs.
I buy furs that are literally older than I am, in styles that would consign them to the dumpster, and then get them tailored to fit. My fur earmuffs? Salvaged fur from a coat that was ripped and functionally useless. My fur short coat? A fur that got raggedy and moth-eaten at the bottom and so was hemmed to hip height. My long fur coat is almost fifteen years older than I am, and I’m thirty one years old. Do that math.
So yes. I wear fur, because it fits my needs, my budget, and my ethics. The vegans wearing pleather can kick a brick. Only one of our coats is going to destroy the planet, and it isn’t my grandmother’s mink stole.
Not to mention the fact that buying these natural leather products from indigenous peoples both subverts capitalism (that wants you to buy cheap shit that breaks), and also supports indigenous communities and artisans.
I’m reading the notes and it’s really cute when people go “but use hemp! Use cotton! Try linen!”
Yeah?
Imma wear linen when the weather looks like this:
I am NOT going to wear hemp, linen or cotton when the weather looks like this:
When the weather outside is frightful, I’mma make like an Inuit and dress like this:
(Also, as you say: it is possible to responsibly source ethical furs. I prefer furriers like Victoria Kakuktinniq, who is an Indigenous Inuit fashion designer who interprets traditional fur designs for a modern sensibility. The funds from her clothing — and from other northern Indigenous communities — allows those northern communities to maintain their cultural traditions, while also introducing a much-needed revenue stream. If you have to buy fresh fur, Indigenous furriers are a good bet!)
@acti-veg this is just…. *sigh*
Which part is *passive aggressive sigh*?
Would it be the:
-reuse of fabrics and furs that are generally anywhere from 10-50 years old?
-recycling and repurposing of old or otherwise unusable materials like leather and fur to make smaller items like jackets, vests, gloves, hats and balaclavas?
-support for Indigenous traditions, handicrafts and artisans?
-recognition of the fact that there are very few plant-based products that will stand up to winters where the average temperature is anywhere from -20 to -50
I know, I know. Your ethics are itchy and it’s very simple to talk that good shit.
But let me introduce you to a Canadian phenomena: frostbite.
Frostbite occurs when your cells freeze. Your cells.
Ice crystals begin to form in cells in temperatures lower than -4C, which is what Canadians call “spring, fucking finally”.
In the teeth of winter, you get maybe ten hours of sunlight a day and your highest temperature is still double digits below 0C and the weather channel is saying “WEATHER WARNING: skin freezing in 30SECONDS”, and the government has put out a WEATHER EMERGENCY: EXTREME COLD WARNING.
When the weather is that severe, we don’t actually get the luxury of waxed cotton, woollen peacoats and a few layers of linen.
Sanctimony and sighs and good intentions don’t keep us warm.
Seriously, it hit -50F here last winter, linen and cotton don’t do fuckall in those temps.
Well, that’s not true. They DO, actually. They get wet from sweat and then get clammy and suck the heat out of you, leading to frostbite. Polyester is plastic, and I avoid that, because it’s bad for the environment.
You know what actually keeps you warm when it hits -50F? Wool, fur, and down. All animal products, all renewable and biodegradable, and all of which will last years with proper care.
I have two fur coats, both of which I paid $20 or less for at thrift stores, and both of which are vintage. Wool doesn’t harm the sheep it’s sheared from…they need to be sheared to stay healthy, actually…and down is harvested from animals that will be eaten, meaning none of the animal goes to waste.
Ah, yes. Truely, sheep live terribly. (Note; sheep wool is useless unles they have good pasture they’re raised on)
Ah, yes, the sheep are so mistreated when they’re sheared. A whole four minutes and they’re done. It’s like giving a fussy toddler a haircut.
And if they’re NOT shorn, you get flystrike, which I’m not going to post a pic of here because it is very unpleasant. Basically, flies lay eggs on the thick wool and the larvae eat the sheep’s skin off. It can be fatal.

But please, tell me, the granddaughter of farmers who lives in farm country and who has neighbors who keep sheep, how sheep work.
Hi I’m the OP and I grew up dirt poor on a Canadian sheep farm and I support this message
To even pull away from cold weather folks, my people are all from Texas and Louisiana and leather is 100% useful for so many things. Tanned hides were a common good for us and surrounding tribes because they’re fucking awesome when it comes to rain protection, provide quick shade in the heat, and were a great way to protect your ass when riding an animal.
Tanned hides work great as a base for moccasins, because it’s thick enough to protect your feet from the heat of the packed dirt, and thin enough that your feet don’t sweat to death inside of them. In boots, I don’t trust any material that isn’t leather or reptile skin to protect me from animals or the elements.
Y’all really need to look at your anti fur/leather/wool campaigns and recognize the anti-Indigenous sentiment that runs through all of them.
All of this. I echo all of this. This is part of the reason why I don’t agree with veganism for ethical reasons.
Light-weight wool, like wool crepes, also make GREAT summer clothing. Wool is an insulator, y'all. It will keep you warm if done one way, yes, but it can also be super lovely and cool.
Also I don’t have sources rn, but organic cotton is SUPER not sustainable.
Yea, I’m not gonna go off on people who buy/wear plastic or polyester clothes, as that’s what’s commonly accessible. BUT it does bother me when plastic/polyester clothes are lauded as somehow ‘sustainable’ because they ‘save animal lives’.
They do not, and they are not. Plastics do not decompose. They go straight into landfills and oceans. They cannot be salvaged or reused much beyond their original use.
Natural materials (fur, leather, bone, and yes, plant-based materials like linen and cork) DO decompose. Humans have been using them to clothe ourselves for millenia. Of course it isn’t ethical or sustainable to use them and dispose of them at the fever pitch that was done by white colonialist settlers in North America in the 1800s-1900s. But once again this is a ‘capital-imperialist mindset’ problem, not a ‘fur/meat harvesting is inherently evil’ problem.

My first money tree!
✧ 21st March 2020
To get the money trees:
Find the glowing spot on your island’s floor. I believe it should appear once per day.
Dig up the Bells buried there.
Without covering up the hole, bury the Bells in the same spot! It should still be glowing.
In a few days, you’ll have a fully grown money tree.
