Crap I like that isn't relevant to one of my thousands of RP characters. PBK, super old, writer, ficcer, RPer, Alaric Saltzman devotee, Ravenclaw, INFJ, atheist. Ruined by Dalaric and McDanno. This is a sideblog. If I follow you back, it will probably be from please-be-kidding or phoebekatewrites.

What are some of your all time favorite drarry fics??? I'm diggin the blog btw

Ok so I wrote this list a while ago - here, and I still stand by it. All the fics on it, hold a special place in my heart. But ive written this updated list based on 1) I’ve reread the fic multiple times and enjoyed it or 2) the fic has in some way changed my perception of how wonderfully inventive fanfic writers can be, those are the criteria tbh. 

DRARRY + 25 PERSONAL FAVOURITES

The Man Who Lived (sebastianL)

Rating: NC-17, WC: 230k, Summary: Draco breaks a cup, and one thing leads to another. A story of redemption, tattoos, dreams, mistakes, green eyes, long conversations, and copious amounts of coffee. Set in New York twelve years after the war.

Foundations! Verse (Saras_Girl)

Tales From the Special Branch (@femmequixotic) - incomplete

Rating: NC-17, WC: 1,200k, Summary: When Gawain Robards asks him to form Special Branch seven-four-alpha, Harry Potter knows they'll have to work outside the confines of the law--even though they are the law.Notes:This is a five-story arc about an Auror Special Branch unit whose core members are Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, and Blaise Zabini. I can promise endgame Drarry, but, let's face it, there are going to be a lot of up and downs on the way. (Think Shondaland for Drarry.)

All Must Draw Near (Saras_Girl)

Rating: PG-13, WC: 61k, Summary: Harry doesn’t have time for rumours; he has a shop to run. Which is just as well, really.

The Arrangement (RurouniHime)

All I Want For Christmas (Is For You To Stop Talking (@femmequixotic, noeon)

Harry Potter's boys are both enrolled as pupils at the Garden. When he volunteers to assist with the Yule pageant, he has no idea that he'll be working closely with another parent, Draco Malfoy. Although they haven't seen each other much since their own school days, Harry faults Malfoy for not being a hands-on dad to little Scorpius.

Chaos Theory (tessacrowley)

Azoth (@lol-zeitgeistic)

Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.

Here’s The Pencil, Make It Work (ignatiustrout/@6balls)

WC: 49.4k, Summary: Harry thinks “Why is Malfoy working in a coffee shop in muggle London?” is a much simpler question than, “Are you going to accept that auror offer and, if you don’t, what will you do?”

Code Name L (GallaPlacidia)

WC: 32k, Summary: Trainees at the Department of Mysteries are kept under an identity-obscuring spell for two years. Harry doesn't even know who it is he's been falling in love with all this time. He's nervous about the Reveal, but really, what's the worst that could happen?Feat. Damaged Draco Malfoy, damaged Harry Potter, damaged everybody. Also, spies & intrigue!I was inspired to write this in part by the portrayal of The Department of Mysteries in Alpha_Exodus' 'You, a violent desire' so if you like that aspect of this fic, go check that one out! It's great.

A Hag, A Hex, a Tale of Redemption (@aibidil)

WC: 31k, Summary: When this season's purple courgettes are woefully thin, Draco Malfoy thinks it amounts to small beans. Next thing he knows, the Department of Standards is over-run with leeks, Brussels sprouts all sorts of legislative difficulties, and somebody appears to have put a roquette under Harry Potter. Can Draco seize a marrow victory? Or will his plans for peas be squashed?All along, Kingsley Shacklebolt finds himself pining for the good old days, when, instead of governing, all you had to worry about were Dark Lords and imminent death.

WC: 91k, Summary: When Harry sustains an injury in the line of work, he no longer knows how to navigate the life he loved, and finds help and solace from the most unexpected source.

My Little Berserker (Aelys_Althea)

WC: 105k, Summary: Eighth year was supposed to be calm. Moderated. Peaceful, even. Draco returned to escape the chaos wrought upon his shambles of a life and Harry to flee the responsibility of a world that sees him as something greater than was truly possible. Hogwarts was a safe haven, right?At least it was until Hagrid comes up with the wonderful idea to introduce some additional members to the student body of the fluffier variety. Hagrid doesn't do moderated - where's the fun in that?

Really Big Coin Skrekkøgle

This is our Really Big Coin. It is big because it makes other things look small when photographed next to it. Actually, it is a 20:1 replica of the EUR 50-cent, you see it being milled out here. We needed to do quite a bit of sanding, lacquering and smudging to obtain the desired look and some climbing to get into required shooting position (you need to get up real high to take good pictures). The result is a short series of photographs, attempting to visually scale down real-sized objects.

y’all wanna know what really gets me? how emotional steve + bucky become towards each other over the course of the three cap movies. even if you don’t ship them romantically you have to acknowledge the fact that bucky is the driving force behind everything that steve does, even if it’s in some small, seemingly inconsequential way. they care so deeply for each other and after everything that’s happened to both of them they need each other

like you’ve got that scene in catfa where steve rescues bucky and even in his messed up state bucky, still grins up at steve like he’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. bucky says ‘let’s hear it for captain america’ and when steve turns around to look at the crowd bucky looks driven to tears, as if he’s asking what has the world done to you, my love?

in catws steve would rather die first than fight bucky to the death. steve knows in his heart that his bucky exists within the winter soldier, somewhere buried deep and hidden away. steve drops his shield and stops fighting, because no fight has ever been worth the danger of losing bucky. i mean you are my mission / then finish it, ‘cos i’m with you till the end of the line come on

in cacw steve would literally fight the entire world to keep bucky safe. bucky has seen enough, done enough, and he’s trying to escape the confines of his own mind. the apartment scene, where steve is begging bucky to trust him on nothing other than human instinct; you pulled me from the river. why? / i don’t know / yes you do and bucky does, because not even decades of ice and brainwashing can erase the way steve makes bucky feel

I dreamed that I was checking Tumblr on mobile while running from an angry lynx, and discovered that every single Tumblr account except for recipe blogs had been deleted. This was apparently a serious obstacle to my plan for escaping from the lynx; the dream did not deign to specify what the plan actually was or why the mass deletion non-recipe-related Tumblr content would have been a problem for it, but the sense that it was a problem was very clear.

Unfortunately, you were repeatedly redirected by Tumblr’s hyper lynx.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride to my fellow queers & death to the homophobes 🗡️

[inkskinned]

Relationships are not transactional. My mama always said they were more like a dance. This friendship is a foxtrot, all light feet and laughter. A waltz of old friends, the tango of the unspoken almost-something, the maybe-modern maybe-classic ballet/rhumba variation of best friends that simply see a movement and fall in step.

It is important, is all, to notice how often you extend a hand and lead the waltz. How often they leave you, hand out, hurting. Would they pick you up from the sidelines. Would they make some fragile excuses. Is this person your dance partner or are they your ruin. Do they care about you, baby. Will they cross the floor backwards on heels. Will they be there when you falter. How quickly do they forget you. What do you feel.
