The theme of the month is "April Showers"! For Week One, I present: rain & thunderstorms. You'll also find a guest rec from the one and only @the-starryknight, identified by the đ§ emoji!
Next week will be... showers! Have a rec you think belongs on this list? Send me a DM! Recs are Drarry unless otherwise noted.
âïž Taking Chances by @gracerene // E // 135K // such a great fic about coming home and second chances. the scene below also includes some gorgeous artwork by @ano-ka-ba of drarry kissing in the rain. 10/10 would recommend.
âïž Little Compton Street (One Rainy Night in Soho) by @writcraft with artwork by @celilasart // E // 65K // the magical world of little compton street is so well-developed. writ had drafted this incredible history and soul of this forgotten corner of London. I was totally entranced by this fic, and have the others in the series lined up to read as well!
"I like it.â Harry tips his face up to the rain, ignoring the fact heâs one of Britainâs most powerful wizards in favour of having a moment in the storm. The rain tracks down his cheeks like tears, but his expression is one of pure, unadulterated happiness. A beautiful, messy boy full of contradictions and the fiercest desire to fight, fight, fight.
âïž To Vanish Into Something Better by @m0srael // E // 35K // I know I've recommended this fic before but try and stop me. It's so good; I remember just feeling the humidity and warmth encompassing me while I read it.
Harry screams into the deafening roar of the rain. How dare the Minister and his DMLE lapdog try and keep Harry penned in and Draco barricaded out. How dare they use Draco like this; hurt him like this. How bloody dare they make Draco believe this was his only option, that he is sacrificing himself and the astounding, perfect world heâs built for the greater good.
âïž Thunder by @keyflight790 // E // 21K // you'll spend this whole fic begging Draco to take care of himself, to let Harry in. featuring forgiveness and dragons.
"I've got you." Harry's voice filled Draco's ear, louder than thunder, than the rain. Louder than the pounding of the dragon's wings. Louder than Draco's beating heart. Harry's arms wrapped tight around Draco's waist.Â
More recs (including some art, podfics, & guest recs!) below the cut!
âïž Saltwater Stain by @the-starryknight // E // 9K // starry's prose is simply poetic, here. you'll feel the rocking of the boat beneath your feet and smell the salt in the air - I got sucked in immediately and know you will too.
They were nearly finished when the rain took to torrent. Suddenly, the air was thick with it, water filling every space where oxygen was meant to land, thick drops choking out the last bit of breathing room. The sky hung even lower, clouds not much higher than the mast.
âïž It's Raining Drarry by @keepcalmandexpectopatronum934 // E // 5K // a suspicious draco quizzes harry when he turns up naked on his doorstep in the middle of the night. turns into a catalogue of all these two know about each other, very endearing.
At that exact moment, lightning struck and both men broke the kiss, staring out at the rain in surprise as the darkness outside was momentarily illuminated by a blinding white light. Harryâs dreamy expression quickly morphed into one of horror and he stepped out into the rain.
âïž 1:40AM by @softlystarstruck // T // 4K // perfectly sad with a sweet ending, a gift of a reconciliation textfic from bee.
Draco chokes on his inhale but manages to tell Harry his address, and just as he adjusts his wards thereâs a loud pop and Harry is standing in the middle of his living room. Lightning flashes, lighting up his unruly curls, his flannel pajamas, his bare feet.
âïž A Rainy Day in London by @amarillis39 // E // 2K // NottPott // compact rom-com, so sweet.
"Do you sometimes wonder if it happens in real life?â Potter asked suddenly and Theo turned, waiting for him to elaborate. âYou know, like in the books or movies, when you say youâll meet them on, I donât know, Blackfriars Bridge, or somewhere. It starts raining, but you wait anyway, and then, just when you think they wonât show up, just when you think itâs over before it even started, deep into the night, you find them standing right behind you, soaked to the bone, with a smile on their face. You both laugh, and then you just kiss, no matter the passers by, no matter the rain.â Potter sounded wistful.
đ§In My Solitude Comes Our Rain by @opalesqueopioid // G // 2K // "Opal's writing is always intense in the best of ways, composing unusual worlds and launching us body and mind into them. This fic is exactly that, set amid a rain-filled, lush Tokyo background, and full of intrigue and beautiful wordplay." - starry
The rain in Tokyo is never fresh, and Harry feels like an onsen egg in his Muggle three piece suit, in the heatwave, gently simmeringâwhereas the thunder rolls crisply down from the night sky, untouched by the sticky fingers of the typhoon.
Artwork & Podfics!
âïž I plan on getting very wet by @awesomedig // M // art
âïž Rainy Day by @danasauurrr // G // art
âïž Under Cover by @shiftylinguini // T // Scorbus // art

âïž Swimming in the Rain by @julietsemophase, podfic by @peony-podfics // T // podfic, 13 minutes
Harry blinked, little rain droplets clinging to his eyelashes. Despite seeing him all the time, Harry wasnât sure he and Draco had spoken since he and his mother had thanked him after speaking at their trails. âYou donât want to be alone?â he said, coming a little closer.
Summary: A crafty parcel with wizarding school inspired vinyl stickers, tape and buttons/pinbacks.
Art Medium: All artwork was made traditionally and digitally before printed!
Rating: G
Notes: @keyflight790, here is a compilation of some Harry Potter items all made (drawn and produced) by me. They also serve as a constant reminder to keep being clever and creative, and to love what you love. Iâm a big font and design geek, so youâll see that in some of the items in your parcel.
There are name tag stickers for each of the boys (and I had to throw a Neville and a Gryffindor one in, because how could I not?!!). Spell buttons/pinbacks can vaguely represent Harry and/or Draco. A fat, angry, snowy owl and a cauldron were must-adds, and those radishes and feathers are pieces of wet-and-stick packaging tape to put in a notebook, planner or whatever you want.
I hope you like this crafty box (and hopefully I can get this sent off to you very soon). Enjoy, and happy hols!

Summary: Draco Malfoy canât cast a Patronus. Well, no. He canât cast his own.
Excerpt: Draco wasnât interested in the Patronus charm until Harry Potter cast one during the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw Quidditch match in their third year at Hogwarts. It was a proper Patronus, not a pale wisp of silver smoke, but a stag that looked so real Draco had actually ducked, thinking it would gore him.
Madam Pince let him borrow half-a-dozen books that touched on the Patronus charm. After heâd caught her cutting pages out of one of the tomes on love potions in the Restricted Section during his second year, he had enjoyed free access to whatever texts he wanted ever since. But he didnât like what he read in the crackling old pages he flicked through in the privacy of his bed in the dorm. It was all about pure hearts, worthiness, magical talent, innate strength and understanding of self. Potter wasnât worth more than Draco. He wasnât a stronger wizard than Draco either.

A gift for @p1013 - happy birthday my lovely - itâs been such a joy getting to know you this past year, I hope you enjoy this little story â€ïž
Huge thanks to @the-starryknight for the brilliant beta work!
âșIn the end, the only thing they needed to overcome their animosity was the Yule Ball and their own stubbornness to not back down from a challenge to dance.

4. Question Mark by Ebibily [E, 28k]

Hi! I'm Phoebe, and I'm a big fan of your work! (I wanted to name some of your fics but I literally can't there are too many ghdfdlfghadk, but I'll say "Catching the Niffler" and "Quite a Big Mission..." and others). As a baby fanfic writer myself, I've been inspired by a lot of your stories, so thank you.
I love 8th-year party games fics, so that's my idea for your prompt request. But if that doesn't inspire you, feel free to ignore it! I look forward to reading whatever you write. <3
@phoebedelia this was so fun to write for you!
I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me
Eighth year had started like any other; the train picked them up at Kings Cross at the same platform, all of the students wearing black robes and pushing their carts and carrying their pets. The train wound its way through the mountains and over the rivers and finally made its destination. The castle lit up the sky as the first-years got on boats and the rest of the classes got into their Thestral-drawn carriages.
Thestrals they could all see.
But that was it, the only reminder of the war. The castle looked fine, every stone tucked back into place, every torch happily lit. It was as if nothing happened.
Everything had happened behind those castle walls.
He had run away from those walls, like a coward after everything he had done to destroy the place he had affectionately thought of as a second home for seven years.
SWITCH DRACO! I need to know more about switch Draco. For science.
Draco likes to be in control...most of the time. He likes to get Potter on his knees, fill his needy mouth, make him desperate and needy and begging for release.Â
He loves when Potterâs eyes get foggy, and he becomes docile and warm, and after, when heâs safe in Dracoâs arms, how tightly he hugs him, as if heâs making up for all the hugs Draco didnât get as a child, all the hugs they could have shared in school.
And Potter loves when Draco gets like that, too. When his snark turns into softness, when his arms cling to his waist and his hands are threaded in his hair, and his lips are warm and pliant against Potterâs own.
So sometimes, he puts Draco on his knees, or shackled on his back, or stretched across a wall and he tortures him with his tongue and his mouth until Draco cries out his name. Not Potter, but Harry.Â
Harry, Harry, please, Harry.Â
Draco looks forward to those nights, just as much as Harry does.
heya chris! can we have something with ginny and luna taking bets on how long longbottom is lmao
âNine and three quarters,â Gin said across the breakfast table. Luna had spent the night, and so had Draco, so the four of them were all downing rashers and toast that Harry had blessedly made.
âNo,â Draco smirked. âI doubt itâs more than five.â
âI heard it was longer than a foot of parchment!â Luna exclaimed.
âSo a foot, then.â
âDraco, donât be mean!â Ginny chastised.
âWhy are we taking about essays?â Harry asked. âWe havenât been at Hogwarts for at least three years.â
âOh, Harry.â
âSweet innocent Potter.â
âHey I had my tongue up your arse not thirty minutes ago.â This whole conversation was starting to piss Harry off.
âWeâre talking about Neville!â Luna laughed.
âAnd the size of his snake,â Ginny snickered.
âOh, well then Lunaâs closest.â Harry grinned. âBit wider as well.â
âExcuse me?â Draco nearly spit out his toast. He reached out and slapped Harry across the shoulder.
âHe was my dorm mate!â Harry yelled defensively.
âNothing else?â Ginny asked, raising an eyebrow.
Harry could feel Dracoâs eyes boring into his skull. âNothing else...outside of that one time.â
âPotter!â
âDraco!â
âGinny!â
âYes Luna?â
âYelling just seemed like fun for a moment.â
âOh, I thought you had found out about me and Neville that one time.â
Friday, February and forever for the time asks, pls and thank youuuuu !! xox
Thank you for the asks, love! You're incredible, as I've already squealed at you this week.
Seriously, I was reading your fic, Beautiful Madness I had to create an A03 account just to tell you how great it was. I had never commented on a fic, and you commented back, and I felt so...included, and seen and welcome that I joined the fandom and here we are. So thank you, so much friend. I wouldn't be writing this smut if it weren't for you (and those gifs).
friday: most self-indulgent fic you have ever posted?
Probably Kiss Quick: it was one of the first long-fics I wrote that wasn't for a fest, and it's one that I still read myself, which is kinda weird that I read my own fic, but I am my target audience, so...
february: have you ever written and/or a holiday-centric fic?
Last Christmas, I gave you my cock - The title came to me before the fic.
and of course: Have Yourself a Kinky Little Christmas, which I asked @tsundanire why we called it that because it was just cold...and she reminded me that the presents were CHRISTMAS presents, and I...I still laugh about that.
forever: do you balance fic writing with original concept stuff?
I'm working on an original novel right now! It's...way harder than writing fanfic that's for sure. I can't rely on sex to move the plot along, which is frustrating LOL.
