HP Consent Fest @hpconsentfest - Tumblr Blog

HPConsent Fest Returns!

After a long hiatus (life, am I right?), HPConsent Fest is back, and we’re so ready to dive once again into stories that celebrate consent in all its beautiful, complex forms.

We believe in exploring what it means to choose, to communicate, and to care in every kind of relationship across the wizarding world. From awkward first kisses to hard-won trust between old friends, from soft-spoken boundaries to powerful affirmations of “yes.”

Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more info on dates, prompts, and how to join the magic!

Because the best spells are the ones cast with consent. 🪄 ❤️

Author’s Notes: Dearest gracerene,

I spied your wonderful prompt in a prior fest, and although I loved it, I couldn't find the right story for it until now. I played around with the premise a wee bit, but did try to include a lot of your enticements, because—well, they're some of my favorites as well (Consent within a bonding spell, UST, conflicting emotions, and a romantic relationship? Sign me up!)

Thanks also to the mods for another great year of the fest, and for demonstrating how consent can be both necessary and sexy. Thanks also to my wonderful, amazing betas Lynds and magpie_fngrl for their insight, wisdom, and support.

*Title and lyrics are from this gorgeous Adele song, which shall forever make me weep.

ART: Who They Are

Title: Who They Are

Prompt: #15

Rating: G

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter

Warnings/Content Notes: genderqueer/nonbinary character, minor transphobia that is more unintended ignorance than anything else

Summary: Draco's always known who they are. They've just been waiting for someone to listen.

Medium: Digital

Artist's Notes: Going into this, I had so many ideas for how to portray my prompt, but less on how to emphasize consent. After thinking and thinking, I realized that being queer, at least in my experience, often involves a loss of consent. Not sexual consent, per se, but getting consent in how you are identified. So often, people don't even think to ask each other how they identify, we are so used to categorizing into male and female immediately upon meeting someone. I wanted to show how just because people aren't deliberately seeking to hurt someone, that doesn't mean they haven't broken consent.

Fic: Blind Item #3

Title: Blind Item #3

Prompt: #88

Rating: T

Pairing: Albus Severus Potter/Scorpius Malfoy

Warnings/Content Notes: tabloids, right to privacy, forced outing, homophobic slurs, rated T for swearing, british sixteen year old talking about sex, blink and you'll miss it threat of sexual violence

Summary: What's the ssssecret doing the rounds in a certain common room? Rumour has it that the other snakes have been turning a blind eye to this burgeoning love affair, but what will the boys' fathers say when they hear about it?

Word Count: 7064

Author’s Notes: Jess, I didn’t quite hit every single point in your prompt, but I hope I stayed true to the spirit of it.

SPaGed by my non-fandom comma wrangler extraordinaire.

When I saw the tabloid culture prompt I immediately thought of Jan Moir’s “gratuitous piece of gay-bashing” and The Sun’s counting down to Emma Watson’s 16th birthday (obligatory link to Dan Rad’s outrage); two very different, but equally hideous, pieces of “journalism”. I wanted to look at the grey area and loopholes that are used to get around the issue of consent and the ripple effect that one “tiny” breach of consent can have.

Context for “blink and you'll miss it threat of sexual violence” tag: A school bully tells (underage) Lily, “That mouth's gonna get you fucked some day”, this should come across as blustering from a bully who doesn’t know better rather than a genuine threat.

FIC: A Touch Of Respect

Title: A Touch Of Respect

Prompt: #90

Rating: Teen

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter

Warnings/Content Notes: Family Drama, Touch Phobia, Panic Attacks, Old Fashioned Parenting, Angst with a Happy Ending, Past Minor Character Death (Astoria), Past Ginny Weasley/Harry Potter, Child in Hospital

Summary: Five year old Scorpius isn't fond of people touching him, and he has a million reasons for it. However, his father is of the opinion that just saying 'no' should be enough without giving any of those reasons, but not everyone in his new-found family agrees.

Word Count: 23.432

Author’s Notes:

Biggest, biggest thank you to my 3 amazing beta's, without whom this fic would not be here. Seriously, so much of this fic was written while half asleep and you do not want to know how many times they had to change darco to draco. And to the prompter, I really hope you like this. The fic ran away from me so I'm not sure if it's what you had in mind, but I tried my best<3

On another quick note, at first glance it might look like this fic treats Molly less than kindly, but I want to assure you that I wrote this from a place of love. No one is perfect, and that includes Molly, but characters are lovable *because* of their flaws. And I didn't tag this with Happy Ending for no reason<3

FIC: The Words that Pass Between Us

Title: The Words that Pass Between Us

Prompt: # 28

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Warnings/Content Notes: POV Draco Malfoy; Invasion of Privacy; Loss of Trust; Infidelity; Misogyny, Classism, Unredeemed Draco Malfoy, Verbal Abuse of a House Elf

Summary: Sometimes, Draco draws pictures of what could have been, had he made all the right choices: Draco in the Slug Club; Draco holding the Quidditch World Cup; Draco holding hands with some nameless, faceless person whose become some sick, secret sort of friend. He’s on every page Draco has touched. He flies with him, sleeps with him, laughs with him. And sometimes, if he pretends hard enough, Draco swears he can feel this person’s breath against his neck; a whispered I love you that has him pressing into the mattress every night, only to wake up alone wishing it were real.

Word Count: 10,047

Author’s Notes: This fic focuses on consent as related to an invasion of privacy, specifically Harry’s intrusion into Draco’s personal life without his consent. I tried to approach this subtly, from Draco’s POV, and show that trust is a fragile thing; and that sometimes, all you have to do is ask.

(Hello! This is my first fest, and my first foray into the fandom. I’m rather nervous but had so much fun. I think I interpreted the prompt a bit differently than intended, but this is how I was inspired so I hope it's enjoyable, if nothing else! Thank you for taking the time to read this; it means a whole lot to me!

Additionally, I need to give a huge shout-out and a ton of love to my beta K for not only reading this fic through, offering suggestions, and catching mistakes; but for also listening to me throw out ideas at every time of day/night. She's truly a gift, and I appreciate everything she always does for me when it comes to my writing!)

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter

Warnings/Content Notes: Asexual Draco Malfoy, Demisexuality, Queer Character, Brief mention (from previous encounter) of Mildly Dubious Consent, Photographs, Minor Luna Lovegood/Pansy Parkinson, Minor Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley

Summary: Surrounded by photographs with just a cat to keep him company, Draco was left questioning his identity and what a new label would mean for his relationship with Harry.

Word Count: 9,612

Author’s Notes: L, thank you for much for the beta read. You never fail to be there when I need you, and for that, I'm incredibly grateful. To the mods, thank you so much for putting together this fest and allowing me the opportunity to write about and address asexuality. And TDCat, thank you for the prompt. I hope you enjoy, and I hope I did it justice.

FIC: Blood Will Out

Title: Blood Will Out

Prompt: # 87

Rating: T

Pairing: Marietta Edgecombe/Pansy Parkinson

Warnings/Content Notes: menstruation, PMS, endometriosis, heavy bleeding, cramps, intense period pain, Healers, doctors, hospitals, exams, critique of Healing and medical institutions, family secrets, memory modification, horrible parenting, blood status discourse, self-reflection redemption arcs See full tagset on AO3

Summary: Marietta Edgecombe doesn’t need re-education. She’s done nothing wrong. She just wants to keep her head down and keep her job. At least until Pansy Parkinson starts acting weird and a visit to the Healer suddenly brings the post-war conversation too close for comfort.

Word Count: 21565

Author’s Notes: Dear rose-grangerweasleyisbae,

What can I say? When I saw your prompt it spoke to me, though (and I apologise for this) I strayed pretty far from the end portion. I am sorry that there isn't more smut and sexual navigation here, but I hope that what I've come up with is still true to the spirit of the prompt. I confess, I had never considered writing about Marietta Edgecombe. What's more, I didn't know if I could make myself care about her. I feel confident I never would have written about her at all without your prompt. But reading it, as a person with chronic pain caused by endo... well, I could not pass up the chance to explore the ways that our bodies themselves affect our desires and the very ways we move through the world. In order to do it that, though, I had to give Marietta a story that made me care about her, and that became the core of this story, rather than boudoir negotiation. It was a hell of a challenge, and an incredibly rewarding one at that. Thank you for giving me that chance!

I also must say a huge thank you to my beta, who cheered me on as I figured Marietta out and helped me to strengthen this story so much.

And thanks, of course, to the mods for putting this on!

FIC: This Year’s Love

Title: This Year’s Love

Prompt: Self-Prompt. H/D—how to navigate feelings for your best mate.

Rating: Explicit

Warnings/Content Notes: This story discusses complex topics such as slut-shaming, promiscuity, heartbreak, dating culture(s), and sexual autonomy within everyday life. See full tagset on AO3

Summary: This year’s love had better last, heaven knows it’s high time when you try to make lovers from friends. But Harry Potter realises time and time again that it’s simply not possible for him. And then along comes Draco Malfoy— the ultimate foe on the mend. Whatever will become of them? A story about love.

Word Count: 84000

Author’s Notes: Oh my God, I don’t even know where to start with my thank you’s! Ahhh…definitely first and foremost, a huge giant tear-inducing thank you to the CF mods for hosting such an important fest and for putting up with me! I am indebted to you all, for real. Thank you for your kindness and your patience!

To my amazing, brilliant friend and beta, K— thank you for whipping this story into shape, for keeping me sane, and for lots and lots of amazing, wine-fuelled conversations! Oh, and for also putting up with all my crazy crap! Ily️

To A — I truly enjoyed your wonderful input and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help!

The title is from singer-songwriter David Grey’s 1998 banger, “This Year’s Love.” Whew…grab your tissues before playing the song, that’s all I gotta say on that.

This is the longest story I’ve ever written, and wow, has it been a crazy experience! Just a quick disclaimer, HP is the work of JKR, not at all my intellectual property. Same sentiment goes for all my big little references throughout the story: When Harry Met Sally, Casablanca, and oops, even Sex and the City. Also, any and all remaining grammatical errors are all on me.

Thank you all, and I hope you all enjoy the long ride.

ART: Something they don't want to be afraid of

Title: Something they don't want to be afraid of

Prompt: # 21

Rating: explicit

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter

Warnings/Content Notes: Internalized Homophobia, unenjoyable sex in a flashback See full tagset on AO3

Summary: Draco struggles with his internalized homophobia and fears, even when he really wants something. Last time, it went ugly. And ugly won't do. They have to try again. Find a way to make it better.

Medium: digital art

Artist’s Notes: In this comic, I wanted to show somebody struggling with his limit and fears after a bad experience. I wanted to show two lovers trying to overcome their issues (hurting the other/allowing themselves to being vulnerable). I wanted to show a character who wants to overcome his issues not to satisfy his partner, but for himslelf, to be able to have a safer, sainer, relashionship. I wanted the other to value his feelings, to really listen even he doesn't get all of it. Giving consent, when you struggle with internalized homophobia is hard. Eluding problems doesn't make them go away even if you want them gone. Allowing oneself to own one's desire may take time, talks, mistakes... and opening to others. When one finally overcomes what's holding them back it can be the most delicious treat.

FIC: All the Little Signs Add Up

Title: All The Little Signs Add Up

Prompt: # 49

Rating: Explicit

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter

Warnings/Content Notes: Past domestic abuse, past child abuse

Summary: Harry starts to notice some worrying signs in his relationship with Draco. He flinches when Harry moves too quickly, he thinks everything is going to be blamed on him, and he doesn't think his own desires count. Harry, fresh from dealing with his own childhood PTSD, jumps to some conclusions. Some of them are right, some of them are way off.

Word Count: 9624

Author’s Notes: I ended up trying to approach consent in a LOT of different ways in this fic, so hopefully it doesn't feel too scraped thin! Of course there's the way that Draco doesn't really appreciate that his own consent matters in sex at first - he assumes that if his partner wants it, he's just got to put up and provide, no matter what. This is really difficult for Harry to notice, but when he realises he hasn't been getting full consent from Draco, he's horrified. The fic also discusses consent in terms of information sharing - Harry goes to Pansy for information which he thinks is a kind thing, he's just trying to make sure he doesn't trigger Draco. But he's doing so without Draco's consent, and that's potentially a terrible betrayal of trust. Finally there are smaller bits of consent here - asking how you can help another person rather than assuming you know what's best, consent at every stage during sex, and asking consent to hug someone, for example.

FIC: The Generation Who Lived

Title: The Generation Who Lived

Prompt: # 11

Rating: Explicit

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter

Warnings/Content Notes: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, Journalist Draco Malfoy, Enemies to lovers, Past relationship, Getting back together, Minor Luna/Neville, Minor Ginny/Blaise, Interview format, Post second war with Voldemort, Enthusiastic consent, Rimming, Anal sex, POV Draco Malfoy

Summary: In the months leading up to the 10th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy writes a series of articles about famous war survivors.

So far, he’s managed to interview everyone he wanted.

Everyone...except his old nemesis, his one-time lover, and the elusive war hero who stubbornly refuses to be featured in Draco’s interview series, Harry Potter.

Word Count: 14761

Author's Notes:

Dear spookywoods, I saw your prompt and I

had to have it.

I love journalist!Draco and I was interested to see how he (and by extension, I) could explore the nuances of consent through the journalism/media lens. I hope you like what I made based on your idea.

This fic took a village. I'd like to thank C and T for the initial alpha and encouragement; a few friends who enthusiastically jumped to the rescue when I asked

'what kind of questions could Draco ask in his interviews?';

L for their super thorough alpha/beta/hand-holding; and R and P for helping me polish this fic until it was ready to post. Seriously, you all rock. Thank you!!

FIC: Ron Weasley and the Clothes of Doom

Title: Ron Weasley and the Clothes of Doom

Prompt: #86

Rating: Explicit

Pairing: Blaise Zabini/Ron Weasley

Warnings/Content Notes: (I honestly don't know)

Summary: Do the clothes make the man?Ron Weasley thinks he has no chance, until one night when he dresses up and Blaise Zabini can’t take his eyes off him. The solution is easy, then, right? Ron just has to keep dressing up, and Blaise will keep wanting him. But every time Ron puts the new clothes on, he’s sent spiraling off into a past filled with insecurity. Will he really be able to keep this up without going completely bonkers? And what does Blaise actually want from him, anyway?

Word Count: 32,872

Author’s Notes: I chose this prompt with this pairing because it struck me as funny. To begin with, I didn't know how I was going to address the issue of consent. But as I continued to develop the story I found that there were so many ways in which consent could come up. For example, I've read so many stories where one character basically forces another character to do something, whether it's getting a haircut, putting on make-up, wearing different clothes, etc., and they do it with the best of intentions, "for your own good." I don't think I've ever seen that act called into question in view of lack of consent, yet suddenly, as I developed the scene, it became so obvious: no matter how good your intentions, you do not have the right to force someone else to something they don't want to do with their own body. So as I wrote my story, when I came up against an issue and suddenly saw a way for consent to be involved, I tried to make sure there was at least a subtle acknowledgment of it.
