It's not a problem, it's a lifestyle

I'm fully in my writer era; find me on AO3! I'm just an Elder Millennial currently fixated on Harry Potter Fanfiction (Drarry is my happy place) and Stray Kids. Okay, maybe it is a bit of a problem.

Rating: T

The babe nurtured at the bosom of cruelty forgoes his taste for sweetness. The babe, now a boy, meets his compatriot; his tongue can no longer sense the backwash in the drink she offers to quench his thirst. The boy, now a man, has fashioned his compatriot into something resembling cruelty; she has fashioned him into something resembling vengeance. The man, once a babe, forgets he once had an appetitie for things beyond acid.

Trust & Safety Phishing Comments

Date Posted: July 23, 2026

AO3 has recently seen a wave of comments claiming to be made by the "AO3 Trust & Safety team", notifying you that your account has been restricted. These claims are not true. These comments are not being made by real AO3 volunteers and your account has not been restricted.

AO3 volunteers, including the Policy & Abuse committee, will never communicate with you through comments on your work. All important communications from AO3 will be sent through the email associated with your account. More general announcements will be posted on our official social media accounts or published as news posts on AO3 or OTW.org.

If you receive one of these comments, do not click on any of the links in it, reply to it, or interact with it in any way. The links in these comments lead to sites asking you to verify your identity by providing payment information. This is a common credit card scam. AO3 does not ever ask users to provide payment information, and the Policy & Abuse committee will never comment on your works asking you to "complete an identity verification process".

If you encounter one of these comments or believe your account has been compromised, please view the instructions under the cut!

We suggest that you review your account to verify that you're using a unique and secure password. Check out the advice from our Policy & Abuse committee on Protecting Your AO3 Account and Keeping Your Account Secure.

If you believe your AO3 account has been compromised for any reason (i.e. you received an email that your username changed), you can change or reset your password to ensure control of your account. Changing your password will automatically log you out of all sessions on all devices. You can find the option to change your password in your Preferences.

If you encounter one of these comments on your own work or someone else's, please report them to the Policy & Abuse committee. To do so:

Select the "Thread" button on the scammer's comment. This will take you to the specific comment page.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Policy Questions & Abuse Reports.

In the "Brief summary of Terms of Service violation" field, enter "Spambot".

In the "Description of the content you are reporting" field, enter "This is a spambot, their username is USERNAME."

Reporting in this fashion helps us auto-sort your report so that it can be handled as soon as a Policy & Abuse volunteer is available. To help us address reports about these types of bots as fast as possible, please only submit one report per account, and don't include multiple accounts in the same report.

We also encourage you to share this post and help spread the word about how to protect yourself from scammers and reduce spam on AO3.

Complete fics posted on AO3 this day

1. Darker, Stranger, and More Magnificent by @xalandrix [E, 5k]

A surreal blend of fantasy and nightmare: Harry Potter delivered to his doorstep on a silver platter, barely alive. Only Draco's cock will fix him.

2. Midweek Crisis by Empress_of_light_luvr [G, 62k]

Harry is stuck in a time loop. He doesn't really know how it happened, or why, or how to fix it. With the guidance of the hit movie Groundhog Day, the library, a strong sense of Deja Vu and somehow, Draco Malfoy, he tries his best to get back to normal.

3. The Road to Satisfaction is Paved with Insults by @devious--muffin [E, 64k]

As the newly appointed Head Auror, Harry is under more stress than ever before. It's clear to everyone that he needs a release, but with the still insatiable press hounding him, very few avenues are available, and all of them would be breaking news. His salvation comes from a surprising source, in the form of an invitation to an elite establishment that quietly caters to all. Once he finally decides to accept the offer, Harry finds himself gravitating toward Draco and discovers not only the key to present fulfillment, but perhaps to a lifetime of happiness.

Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter are friends. They do almost everything together and that's totally not weird. They're not codependent or anything. They're normal, platonic friends. Only, are they? ★ HD Wireless 2026 | @hd-wireless

Two Idiots, One Flower, and a Lifetime of Happiness

Rating: M

Harry's continued notoriety after the war has made it nearly impossible to date, never mind falling in love. A pot of soil, his constant companion for the last few years, promises something special if given the right circumstance. He doesn't really believe in Soulmates, but he humors the idea of one, dutifully watering the never-sprouting plant. A chance encounter during one of his rare nights out does more than temporarily fill his aching loneliness; it changes Harry's mind. Or, how Harry and Draco bumble their way into a relationship, one mistake at a time.

Microfic 30: And They All Lived...

Prompt--Happily Ever After

Harry smiled softly as Draco and Ron bickered. It happened every day like clockwork. They'd sit down to a game of chess, Harry across from them, and nitpick every move the other made. They always turned to him as the deciding factor, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

[devious--muffin]

Microfic 29: Do-over

Prompt--Second Chance Romance

“Are you sure this will work?”

Ron huffed. “When did you start having feelings?”

Harry blushed and ducked his head. “In the forest.”

Ron nodded. “Mine were much earlier. If we can convince younger me to act on them, to bring Draco in sooner, we can avoid ever losing him.”

Remember when I did this last year for the Kinktober 2025 community? The template people could use to post their results?

I'M DOING IT AGAIN!!! Once again, thanks to @kinktober26 for organizing this :3 (If you like, give me a follow on Ao3 and Bsky :3)

Microfic 28: Hail Mary

Prompt--Time Travel AU (Alternate Prompt)

“I thought I was clear?” Harry asked, voice cracking.

Ron held out his palm. “We can go back. Fix things.”

“Where did you find that? I thought they didn't exist in this universe.”

Ron slipped the golden chain over their heads. “Doesn't matter. All that matters is us and Draco.”

[devious--muffin]

Microfic 27: Sudden Loss

Prompt--Muggle AU (alternate prompt)

“I can't do this anymore. It's too painful. I can't look at you and not think of him and what we had together.”

Ron's shoulders sank, his eyes welling as Harry walked away. It was already difficult to live in a world without magic; he refused to do it alone.

Welcome to Kinktober 2026!

The makers of Kinktober 2025 are back again with a brand new list! The graphics are once again created by latte-cucumber. Check out our AO3 collection, or keep reading for more information.

More information

Kinktober is a kinky October prompt challenge that’s been running in one form or another since 2016. There are three prompts for each day in October, and the challenge is to use one (or more!) of the prompts to create something for that day. If you don’t want to use any of the three daily prompts, you can swap them out for the bonus prompts at the bottom of the prompt list.

If you have any questions, check our FAQs. Unfortunately, due to personal commitments, we won't be opening our askbox for questions this year. We've made it as rules-light as possible, though, so if your question is "Can I do this?", the answer is almost certainly yes!

Microfic 26: Unstuck

Prompt--Romantic Comedy

Draco snorted, cutting his eyes toward Ron before refocusing on Harry. “We love you, too, you numpty.”

Harry paused his agitated pacing and looked up. “You do?”

Ron huffed and crossed his arms. “Of course we do. And, if you haven't noticed, We're pretty fond of each other, too.”

[devious--muffin]

Microfic 25: Stuck

Prompt--Love Confession

“What are we even doing?” Harry shouted, spinning away from them. “I can't be trapped in limbo any longer.”

“Is that what you think this is? Limbo?”Draco asked with furrowed brows.

Harry whirled, eyes wide and breaths rapid. “I love you both, and I can't live without either of you.”

[devious--muffin]

Microfic 24: Still a Secret

Prompt--Workplace Romance

Harry jumped when freckled arms wrapped around him, quickly spinning and pushing Ron away. “What are you doing?” he hissed.

“I missed you. You were gone for weeks,” Ron frowned, looking around the empty office. “How's Draco?”

Harry sighed, his shoulders relaxing. “We can see him on Sunday.”

[devious--muffin]

Microfic 23: Desperate and Distracted

Prompt--Inappropriate Use of...

“Are you there?”

Harry hummed, tapping the wood lightly.

Draco groaned, pressing his ear to the door. “What I wouldn't give to fuck you right now.”

Harry took a sharp breath. “Tell me,” he whispered, glancing around the perimeter of the safehouse. “Tell me what you would do to me.”
