Ok, I’m new to Drarry, but curious? Can you give me a few fics to start with? Maybe an intro to Drarry? Nothing to long or scary please. 💚

First of all, welcome to the fandom! Second of all, here’s your holds! Here’s some fics that I have really enjoyed and think would be a good introduction to the Drarry relationship and fandom. 

New to Drarry

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things (3k) by @drarryruinedme7

The first time they met there, it was weird. The second time, Harry was less prepared than the first one, if that was even possible. The third time they met there, Harry knew it, it was planned. So, he should have been more prepared. But he wasn’t. It could have been the tenth or eleventh time — time passed in a blur when they were together — when Harry understood he could not escape his feelings anymore.

"At Draco’s trial, Potter testified that Draco had acted only in fear of his life, for his parents’ lives. When the Wizengamot announced his pardon, hundreds of eyes were on him, but he only felt one gaze. He found Potter’s green eyes in the crowd, where he was insulated by layers of loyal friends. The expression on Potter’s face was painfully open, studying, curious. Draco returned it. He had questions too."

Draco takes a steadying breath as he heard the Floo flare. While their old animosity had faded almost completely over the years, having the man in his personal space was a different matter. OK, it was only his office, but it still felt a little uncomfortable. "Malfoy?" His voice sounds a little uncertain too, which actually makes Draco feel more settled. At least he isn't the only one out of his comfort zone this evening. "I'll be through in a second. Make yourself comfortable."

Around You Moves (30 k) by ignatiustrout

Harry knew Draco was gay when he invited him to move in. He’s never had a problem with this. So why does he feel so weird about Draco bringing men home all of a sudden?

Boiling Point (43 k) by @goldentruth813

After an Auror raid gone wrong, Draco ends up trapped in a dodgy safehouse with nothing but Harry Potter’s dubious company and a dwindling supply of food. With only each other and the walls surrounding them, they're forced to confront their past and their feelings which have long been threatening to boil over.

Some questions you don’t ask

I rarely criticize my wife, but when I do, it’s spoken directly to her, in private, and with love.

I don’t speak negatively about my wife to other people. Not because she’s perfect (which is an impossible and unfair standard) but because she deserves a husband she can trust. To say anything about my wife that I wouldn’t say to her face, would be a betrayal of that trust.

I never want her to spend a single moment worrying about the way I talk about her when she’s not around.

Something that really bothers me about people’s hatred towards Ron is that unless you grew up really poor you have no idea what it’s like and how much it affects you. Especially if you grow up poor surrounded by rich friends. The jealousy seriously eats you alive and the way Ron acted was perfectly understandable. 

[take-my-eeveelution]

Over twenty years later, I’ll still never forget the day one of my classmates told me to just ask my parents for more money, as though I was literally too thick to work out the obvious solution. Because in her world, it was that simple. Or the day my teacher gave me an ‘are you even trying for a believable lie’? look when I had to tell him my parents couldn’t afford to send me on a low-cost excursion. Or how for an entire school year, I had to wear a school uniform skirt so small it left angry marks on my waist every day, because my mother begged me to make it last just one more year. The day everyone thought it was hilarious to ruin my pencil case, and even more hilarious that I was so upset and claimed that my parents would be furious with me - LOL, that silly girl! They’ll just buy her a new one, it’s not that difficult! (Spoiler, they couldn’t and it was). And yeah, I had my fair share of second-hand underwear too, like another character who grew up in poverty. The utter shock I felt when I realized other families not only had air conditioning, but also used it regularly… the jealousy I felt when everyone else had nice formal wear and I had whatever my parents could manage to get… the list goes on and on. And that’s on top of a bunch of other struggles and disadvantages I had.

But to hear Ron critics talk, he was the worst person alive if he ever even dared to want nice things for himself instead of just nobly being happy other people had them. ‘Why is everything I own rubbish?’ is not a permissible attitude, not even for a moment.

I see a lot of people making fun/disapproving of how Ron is always stuffing his face with food and it INFURIATES ME. When you grow up fucking poor you learn to take advantage of free food when you have it. Asshats.

[ron-is-awesome-sauce]

Also does anyone realize the sheer fortitude Ron had to have to invite Harry over to his house!?

I could not invite my better off friends over to my house because things were literally falling apart inside of it and my family didn’t have the means to fix it and it ate me up inside to not be able to have my best friend over to my house when I spent the better half of my teenage life sleeping over at her house because my parents and I didn’t want her to see how rundown the inside of our home was.

Ron was so nervous about what Harry would say about his house and was embrassed by the state of it but he saw Harry needed somewhere to stay and he opened up his home to him. People who have always been well off wouldn’t understand the magnitude of that action.

Ron is a damn treasure and anyone who hates him because of his jealousy can’t understand the deeper meaning behind it.

Friend: Did you see that Taylor released a new -

Me: I know every detail of every shot I have laughed and cried I have written essays analyzing the symbolism and I have memorized the choreography who do you even think you are talking to

[peetababy]

look, I’m not saying that not liking Taylor Swift revokes your right to call yourself a feminist. 

but I am saying that most of the reasons people are shitting on her comes from deeply internalized misogyny, no matter how much they deny this.

If you hate TS’s new song because you think she’s

a. crying for attention

b. being immature

c. being too petty / needs to “get over” kimye / katy perry / whatever 

then please, ask yourself why no one ever, ever, ever shits on male musicians for writing songs that not only shit on other artists, but even call them out by their name. Like, Drake vs. Meek Mill or Eminem vs. well, you name it. People go crazy over that shit. These male artists are seen as bad ass and savage for doing something that YOU’RE ALL SHITTING ON TAYLOR SWIFT FOR DOING. 

Not to mention, no one ever shit on Kanye for demeaning Taylor in his song, “Famous,” SEVEN years after the vma award show “incident.” He was still going on about it, and no one told him to “move past it.” Why? You know why. Because men can respond to their own experiences in whatever way they want to. And according to you guys, women can only respond to their own experiences in one acceptable way. AKA not being “petty,” and just shutting the fuck up. Because like, who wants to hear women talk anyways? lets leave that for the men, right? 

Please check your internalized misogyny at the door and allow Taylor Swift to respond to her own experiences in whatever way she wants, because you all allow men that exact same luxury without endlessly shitting on them.

good idea for website owners

sometimes when im browsing a page i just really wish a window would come down from the top of the screen, obscuring everything i was trying to read, that tells me about how i can sign up for something i definitely don’t care about. keep doing that.

[sunsetchasersss]

Me: I’m not sure new episodes are a good idea. Apart from Rory’s, the other characters’ stories are told and I don’t want them to mess them up again just to keep it interesting. Besides, I don’t trust ASP, she could drive the show into a pit of darkness and despair and leave us there. Nope.

Due to the fact that I’m hosting an LGBTQ+ reading challenge next year (which you can find here), I’ve decided to do a little giveaway for it!

- You don’t have to be following me, though it’d be nice if you were or if you want to enter any future giveaways.

- There will be two winners who will get to choose two LGBT+ books (it must be a main or major character in the book). If you don’t want to choose yourself, I’m happy to send you two random LGBT+ books and surprise you.

- The winners will receive the books from Book Depository, so therefore it is a  worldwide giveaway. (Just make sure Book Depository delivers to you).

- Only reblogs count as entries. You can reblog as many times as you want.

- I’ll be using a random number generator to find the two winners.

- The winners will have 48 hours (2 days) to get back to me, otherwise I’ll find a new winner/s. I’ll be contacting through either the ask or message service on Tumblr.

- You need to be comfortable with giving me your address so that I can send you the books, and if you’re under 18 please have parents permission.

- The giveaway ends December 31st, 2016
