One-Shots:

Lay All Your Love On Me (requested)

He held her hand, probably having noticed her buckling knees. “I’m sorry about that, Y/L/N”, He whispered softly, voice quivering. She returned the favour with a gentle clasp on his palm. He was warm. No not warm, burning.

Was it that hot a day? Or…

She slowly peered up at him and noticed how flushed his face was, and felt her own getting hot. Why did he have such an effect on her? She couldn’t even understand it herself.

or

Y/N can’t understand her infatuation with Draco. (based on the song by ABBA)

THE QUIET*

Perhaps it had been true all along, that vulnerability was like holding your arm out on your own accord while it was permanently marked to show your allegiance. It was only regretful. For what reason would you bare your soul to someone? Why would you let down your guard? Was there anyone you could really even trust?

Draco didn’t know why. But inside, deep, deep inside him, he knew that there was still love for you in plenty. But he couldn’t acknowledge it. Not when he was so close..

or 

Draco doesn't know how to be vulnerable, but you prompt him to want to try. (based on the song by Troye Sivan)

Cliché (requested)

Malfoy clearly recognised this. And what used to be occasional shows of aggression turned into.. well.. an everyday thing. His two ‘rivals’ had gotten close and he was very, very annoyed. Very.

And time really did begin to fly. The long days you had turned into quick weeks and months and Harry defeated the ‘Basilisk’ and saved Ron’s sister and everything was alright. And you had good friends.

And an enemy. Ugh. Clichés are clichés for a reason, huh?

or

Enemies to lovers. Need I say more?

Secrets and Snowflakes (written for the 2019 Secret Santa Fic Exchange)

You threw the ball of snow you’d managed to make forward, but instead of hitting his chest, as you’d wanted to, it hits his arm. In retrospect, this was probably more advisable. Draco jumped where he stood, letting out a squeal. “What the fuck?” He shoved the parchment into his anorak’s pocket haphazardly and looked down at you, eyebrows crinkled and forehead deeply furrowed. He brought his hand up and set it on the now wet part of his coat.

or

Draco's a bit of a Scrooge and you want to teach him how snowball fights are far from kiddish.

Cakes, Candles and Camaraderie

He felt a sudden prodding at his shoulder and looked to his side and saw Theo digging into his skin. “Christ, mate, are you trying to poke a hole through my shirt? ‘S expensive.” He sat up straight again and crossed his arms, while Theo just sighed. “You seemed a little... out of it. Very vacant. Was testing to see if you’d gone to sleep with your eyes wide like that.” Draco rolled his eyes. “I’m just fine. Kind of zoned out.” Theo smirked oddly and Draco crinkled his nose in suspicion. “What is it?” “I saw you staring at Y/N, with those... come hither eyes.”

or

Your birthday's coming up and you hate birthday parties. Draco wants to change that.

April Showers Bring May Flowers (requested)

And this time, somehow, he’d convinced them to say yes. They’d allowed him to stay at Hogwarts for that week off. Mother would send him treats, he’d said. It would all be just lovely. He’d told his parents he’d be absolutely safe. There wouldn’t be too many other interruptions around and they’d have loads of time to themselves. They definitely wouldn’t do anything they wouldn’t’ve approved of, or at least they wouldn’t let them catch wind of anything that they did do.

But if the plan was so airtight, why was Y/N sitting all by herself so pensively on this rainy morning?

or

Draco's screwed up a little bit and realises it (almost) too late. Easter break is worse when you're all alone.

Inure (requested)

Again, Draco surprised her by (acting?) seeming interested in setting up their house, arranging their things and the furniture properly. Perhaps it was just so that they could forge a relationship together somehow. It was… not exactly nice in her books (it should be a pretty expected thing, in her opinion), but at least a tad considerate of him. Having grown up in a household where her father rarely assisted in anything related to the household outside of money, she had expected about as much from him. She’d thought boys of her standing rarely differed from each other, at least in the ‘spoiled’ aspect. 

or

My take on an arranged marriage AU.

Happy Accident (requested)

“You… spilt a partially complete Beautification Potion on yourself? Wow. I understand that it is in your wound but did you spill it anywhere else as well?” “Well… it was quite hot and I spilt it on my arm so I probably gave myself a mild burn there too but no, I don’t think I spilt it anywhere else.” “That makes sense… I thought you might have spilled some on your face.”

or

Y/N was a clumsy Apothecary apprentice. Draco was a Healer specialising in potion injury. Can I make it any more obvious?

-x-

Series:

Kill Or Be Killed (Complete)

Almost unpredictably, she looked up and flashed Ron a smile, whose ears immediately flushed pink. Sure enough, the signatures matched and he handed her her bag, after which, she soon stepped out. “What the hell was that, Ron?” Ron just shook his head and looked over at her, before glancing back at the Employees Only room.

Y/N Y/L/N. He thought. How convenient. He looked over at the girl exiting, making a mental note. He quickly closed up the register and placed a ‘Next Counter Please’ sign for the next employee to take off. Ron had already cleaned up his area and had started heading back to the Employees Only room, probably to change.

Y/N. Draco finished up and put his hands in his pockets, heading back himself as he noticed a few other employees shuffling over. Physically, she’s an ordinary female, but mentally, just as spoilt and awful as Father.

or 

Life’s done Draco a 180 and he’s out for blood. Set in a non-magic modern AU.

Get A Grip (Complete) -  I II III

He waved over to Y/L/N and had her shift away, going up to the child himself. Of course.. he wasn’t exactly one to console others, so he leaned down and patted him on his back until he finally became calmer. As soon as the coast was clear, he helped the boy up and led him out the cellar. He took him through the back door into the gardens, reaching the edge of the fence. He told him the directions to the nearest safe town and reassured him of his fate. He was just about to push him through when he felt a hand firmly grab hold of the back of his shirt.

“What do you think you’re doing, boy?” A rough, raspy voice called out, another hand gripping at his hair. Dolohov.. Draco’s back arched at this and his eyes began to water in pain.

or

Draco gets caught betraying the Dark Lord during the Second Wizarding War and Y/N helps him feel better. Set in an AU where Malfoy makes a few different choices.

His Royal Highness (In Progress)

She parted her lips to speak but was dumbfounded, her eyes wide. What the hell was wrong with him? He couldn’t just.. ask her something like that out of nowhere.

“Oh, come on, I’m not that atrocious. Besides.. don’t you want to be-”

“You can’t just.. spring this on me! This is a really important matter! I can’t possibly understand why you’d ask me this so casually! It’s just.. so..” She shook her head in frustration, blood rushing through her ears.

or

Draco is a royal pain. And now Y/N has to experience it all first hand. Modern, non-magic, royal AU.

Currents (On Hiatus)

Destiny is but a dream. Your life is made up of choices, even ones you don’t take for yourself. They’re all irreversible. Set in stone forever. You are your decisions. You are what you’ve done, even if you didn’t choose to. No matter what. But what if I told you it was possible to go back? What if I told you you could change every little thing you ever regretted? Would you go back? Or would you rather live with your mistakes?

or 

Set in an AU where Y/N and Draco are both Aurors and a certain crime results in a lot of unrepeatable events. Based on the album by Tame Impala.

no writing workshop can help you improve your writing as much as this screenshot can

[paramoreworld]

went to the touching grass and thinking critically convention and they knew all of my mutuals personally

[cleverinternetkingdom]

People seem to not know how old writers are when they make their stories.

Stephanie Meyer wrote Twilight in 2003, at age 29

Cassandra Clare started writing Mortal Instruments in 2004, at age 31

Rick Riordan published Percy Jackson & the Olympians, the book about 12yrolds, at age 41

George R. R. Martin published A Game of Thrones, at age 48

You can't even use the "but fanfiction isn't real writing" argument because of how many fanfiction turn movies there is. They are clearly enough of a story to be made into published books.

Anna Renee Todd's After series was a Harry Styles fanfiction, which was published in 2014, when she was 25

E.L. James Fifty Shades of Grey series was a Twilight fanfiction, which was published in 2011, when she was 48

Mortal Instruments was a Harry Potter fanfiction.

Why must they act like After someone turns 20 their life ends, like people can't have hobbies???

[elfwreck]

The claim here isn't "adults can't have hobbies" but "adults shouldn't be writing about teens with romantic inclinations."

But. Um. As the top post mentions... who do they think is writing the tv shows and movies they like? The YA novels they enjoy? The songs that resonate so perfectly with their emotions?

I didn't stop knowing what it felt like to be a teenager in love when I was no longer a teenager.

13: “What would you do if I kissed you right now?” / “Obviously, I’d kiss you back.”

You were both sitting in the common room: you lying on the couch, fiddling with your fingers; Draco perched in the armchair, reading into a tome.

Sigh. Glancing at Draco, your new-to-be boyfriend, you attempted to catch his attention in the most pettish way you could think of. Apparently, that seemed to work because he gave you a side glance from behind the book and arched his brow which indicated his heed was up to your disposition.

“Draco...” you drawled, bored. His gander finally traveled directly to your stretched posture. That was a trigger for you to continue. “I want to do something.”

“Then busy yourself with something.” He shrugged. “Read a book, write an essay, go for a stroll-”

“But I don't want that!” Somehow, the fact he didn't take a hint on what you had tried to communicate set you angry. “I want to do something with you! Cuddle, for example...”

Cooped up in one place, you felt a sudden urge to rush to him and snog him until the wind was knocked out of him. You contemplated.

“Oh, you know I can't do that. I have to turn in the fucking summarization of the usage of mundane sprouts tomorrow.” He gestured at the tome in his grip. “As much as I’d like to cuddle or whatever else your pretty mind might think of, I have to focus on the task first, you know.”

You turned around, both understanding and flustered, and exhaled. From time to time, you tried to think of how much you appreciated Draco’s atypical predisposition, conscientious and diligent, and never able to leave the work undone. And you admired how devoted he could be to his goals. However when it came to one of those moments, when you required his undivided attention, it honestly felt like a jinx.

And you really required his undivided attention now. Even your inner compunction couldn't stop you at this point.

Not able to resist to urge for physical contact, within seconds you found yourself settled on your boyfriend's laps, grinning like a maniac. You tore the book out of his hold, ignoring his hiss, threw it somewhere in the corner of the room, and clung closer. For mere second, you expected him to push you away for what you had done, so you were pleasantly surprised when his strong arms snaked around your waist and dragged you closer to him.

“You know I sometimes hate you, right?” he said, but there was a definite amusement in his voice.

“I know you love me,” you teased back.

“Hate you.”

“Love me.”

“Hate you.”

You withdrew a little so that you could get a better view of his countenance. “What would you do if I kissed you right now then?”

“Obviously, I’d kiss you back.” With ardor, he responded, his grin widening. He moved his palm to the lingering strands of your hair, swirling them a couple of times, before flipping them behind your ear. “So what now?”

“You tell me.”

“How about...” He arched his brow funnily enough to earn a mild giggle from you. He always did this mien to amuse you, and magically it always worked. “I finish reading this chapter. Out loud if you prefer. And then we can go to my dorm and enjoy rest of a day. How is that?”

“It sounds like a plan,” you said, satisfied with the turn of actions. “And I know precisely what we are gonna do afterwards.”

A grin engraved on his lips, finally taking a note.

masterlist request guidelines

pairing: draco x reader

request: yes…almost a year late tho this has literally been sitting in my drafts since june

summary: draco malfoy is your boyfriend, but he has a funny way of showing it. the end is very “good for her” vibes. 

WARNINGS: themes of gaslighting, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, implied sexual content, explicit language. my loves, this is my take on draco as a little bitch of a controlling and toxic bf. so plz keep this in mind whilst reading

a/n: so i’ve sat on this request for a hot min. idk why i stopped writing it but i’m pretty sure i stopped bc i was like damn i did not need to go this hard on a request and put my whole drawlfussy into making draco a horrible human being fjkd;salf. this is the most negative portrayal of him on my blog. i am legally obligated to tell u that if any of this draco’s behaviors or sayings remind you of your partner i implore you to leave him/her. not to wax philosophical or anything but my last relationship was not super great and i left without getting to say anything that i rlly wanted to say to them. the ending is a bit cathartic for me as it’s everything that i wish i had a chance to do :) i hope u enjoy.

Harry Potter Writing Event

hi again! at this point a few of us are still working out the kinks to try and figure out as to how to make this celebration even happen lol

my wonderful friends @war-sword and @drawlfoy have made a discord server for this event so that anyone who wishes to participate can join and we can all discuss how we’d prefer to run this

if you responded to my original post in a way that led me to assume you would be contributing some writing to this event, i most likely dmed you the discord link and you’re all set to join!

if you did not receive a dm from me, it is either because

a) i am stupid

b) you’re a minor, or

c) i have no idea how old you are

there are certain precautions taken to this server to make it safe for everyone! to be clear: this server will only be used to discus the writing of fan fictions for this event, and how this event will be run

as someone who is not a minor, and per request by others as well, no one under the age of 14 is permitted to join this server!!!!!!!!!

that’s a boundary and everyone is expected to abide by it with no exceptions

below i will put a 24 hour link to join the server, but if you miss it just dm me and i’ll send you a shiny brand new one

also psa: i know it says draco writing event but you can write for characters that are not draco as well lol

https://discord.gg/VGFu2AqC

Join the draco writing event Discord Server!

Check out the draco writing event community on Discord - hang out with 7 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

if you feel uncomfortable joining but still wish to participate in the celebration that is perfectly okay! you’re always welcome to message me and i’ll try to to keep everyone up to date with what’s going on :)

also psa part 2: please continue to share the word via my original post as a means to collect as many writers and intrigue as many readers as possible!!!

great! i'll try and have it up by next week after i post part 3 of HRH :)

[drawlfoy]

no need to go off on ppl who love your writing😕i wasn't the person who wrote that message and maybe you don't mean anything bad but it came off really harsh and ruthless. they're probably just very excited and you could simply just say that its not finished yet. as a writer myself i think that was rude on your behalf.

hey, i totally understand where you’re coming from. i tried to say that as nicely as i could but i’ve gotten so many messages asking why it’s taking so long/telling me when to post the next chapter/etc that i keep giving the same answer to and it’s getting quite overwhelming at this point as this is a really big project for me and getting those messages make me feel like i’m consistently letting people down by taking care of myself. i would’ve responded differently if i haven’t already answered “it’s not finished yet, please just be patient” to roughly a dozen messages prior. if sharing my emotions on my blog/setting boundaries with my reader base is too harsh in your opinion, then i respect that but i disagree

[socontagiousimagines]

hey anon,

as a writer yourself you should understand where dee is coming from. it is quite frustrating to have many people asking the same question over and over again. I also don’t really think you needed to put your two cents in when it comes to how dee is feeling — especially when that feeling is overwhelmed. as writers, we sometimes need to remind our readers that writing 10k+ words is NOT easy — especially when those readers are sending in an ask every day asking when exactly it will be done. anons like that are why many writers deactivate or quit. there is too much pressure onto one person. dee cannot write 10k+ words in a day (and i’d like you to show me who exactly can) but that also gets harder when you have pressure on you. anyways, moral of the story, maybe stop and think how someone else is feeling before adding your two cents in when it’s actually extremely unnecessary. :)

[eltanin-malfoy]

all of this x 100!!

please learn to respect writers and their boundaries. we all have our own lives outside of fic and each have our own schedules for writing and as such and we can't go around penalising ppl just because we think they don't write fast enough for our liking.
