i saw an incredible post on tiktok and i wanted to expand on it, because it's genuinely amazing. all the credit to @noesbf on tt for the idea that inspired these thoughts.
geto's character is threaded through with motifs of consumption. he takes things in, whether they be curses or daughters, and is spurred by intense empathy that ends up going in the "wrong" direction once he takes the entire jujutsu world under his wing.
when we're introduced to him in hidden inventory, our first glimpse is of him consuming a curse. he's also alone, in a dark alleyway, a symbolic image that parallels his journey throughout the story. he's a consumptive force, a facet of his being that ultimately leads to his undoing because he consumes the responsibility of "saving" the strong, who are burdened by the weak.
gojo, on the other hand, repels. he's an outward force, extending out a physical barrier that creates distance between his body and the world. where geto invites, gojo rejects. their abilities are constructed as diametrically opposed to one another's.
through the motif of gojo's abilities, this image captures their consume/repel dynamic in a singular shot. after riko's death, gojo leans into red, which repels. he focuses on growing stronger and in doing so, isolates himself from the world (and subsequently, geto). on the other hand, geto leans into blue, which aligns with the consumptive nature of his character. he harbours riko's death inside of himself and it festers, like a curse.
black holes are all-consuming vacuums. they subsume everything around them and create an inescapable vortex— once you're pulled in, you're never getting out. it will literally eat you and in doing so, makes you an everlasting part of it.
white holes, on the other hand, function in opposition to black ones along the same axis. where black holes pull, white holes push. nothing can enter them; they're doomed to a lonely eternity because of the force that holds the universe at a distance. nothing outside of it can affect what goes on within, yet it affects everything around it.
however, white holes can be subsumed by black holes. while nothing can enter them, if a white hole were to cross paths with a black hole, its consumptive force is so powerful that it would eat them too.
after geto and gojo experience a rapture in their relationship, gojo withdraws from the world, holding everyone at a literal and figurative distance. yet, even while he's alone, he's endlessly drawn towards geto. his eyes are bound but his soul isn't— it's tied to the piece of him inside of someone else, and gojo visibly feels the pull.
white/black holes also correspond to the colours associated with gojo and geto's characters (they align with their yin/yang dynamic, where yin (black) symbolizes darkness & the moon and yang (white) symbolizes light & the sun).
yin/yang are more than two halves; they form an indivisible whole. they become one another: light turns to dark, the moon replaces the sun in the sky, life transitions into death only to be born as life again.
if two celestial bodies exert oppositional forces upon each other, they function in equilibrium. geto's consumption was growing alongside gojo's repelling, reaching an event horizon when he took the lives of 112 villagers and forcing the two of them out of equilibrium. he continued to consume (curses, money, vulnerable people through his cult) until he died and took gojo's soul with him.
consumption can only exist if there's a repellant force pushing back. geto and gojo are not opposites, instead, they each contain the other— every yin has yang within it and vice versa.
they are borne of each other, they are unknowable without the other. they are more than matching; together, they are complete.
Yes! I've been hoping for this 🤞
Draco is in the lake! I made this in advance because I couldn't help myself. Draco is the most important person to Harry and that's all that matters. I can die happy now.
Made for Book 4 Chapter 15 of
The Mirror of Ecidyrue by Starbrigid
Since this fic is from Draco's point of view we might not get to see much of the second task due to him being unconscious but I was too tempted to draw this scene.
What are your favourite time travel HP fics. I am still so obsessed with Travelling Cabinet. I was wondering in general what elements/tropes of time travel HP fics that you like/enjoys and what tropes/parts do you try to avoid/don't necessarily agree with? What I found really refreshing about yours is how quickly Tom discovered that Draco is from the future and Draco did not need much cajoling to spill the future. Don't get me wrong I also enjoy fics where it's a psychological battle where the character refuses to reveal anything about the future and trying not to change anything and it's all the big mystery how they know X and Y. But I appreciated the fact that you took a different approach which made it refreshing and different in the best way possible
Draco really is a blabber-mouth in TTC, isn't he? That winning combo of Tom's persuasiveness, Draco's inability to keep a secret (I mean, it took him approximately 2 seconds to tell all his friends he was a Death Eater in HBP), and his conviction that Tom was some nameless nobody, was, of course, a recipe for disaster (or success, from Tom's perspective).
I haven't actually read many time travel fics for this fandom. I usually read for Drarry, where most fics are post-Canon. I imagine for Tomarry/Snarry/Tomione/etc. readers, it's quite different, but the only time travel I come across is either Peggy Sue or Time Loop. The only Drarry time travel fics that come to mind are Vertigo by jennavere (future travel) and Tea and No Sympathy by who_la_hoop (time loop).
I'm also reading Ouroboros by Metalomagnetic at the moment and really enjoying it! I think this one might count as a Peggy Sue? Also, it really is the perfect title for tomcest time travel.
One of the things that I enjoy most in time travel fics is when the writer puts a lot of thought into how small changes could have staggering consequences (the butterfly effect), one fic series that I thought handled this thoughtfully was The Mirror of Ecidyrue. I didn't read the whole series but did particularly enjoy the first couple of instalments as Draco comes to terms with the ways in which his time travel has irrevocably warped the fate of the whole world. This is also relevant to canon divergent fics like Two To Shore by Lamplighter or If You've a Ready Mind by Maya.
Does nobody have Drarry recommendations that rewrite canon? Like go back into Hogwarts era? (Not eighth year) I’ve read survival is a talent and the Mirror of Ecidyrue series and both are great. Ive also read Leo Inters Serpes and He Turned Around. More recommendations would be very appreciated!
listening to the audio version of Draco Malfoy and the Mirror of Ecidyrue and I'm in tears 😭😭😭
Harry's voice is so sweet oh the poor boy!!! and Draco's internal dilemmas UGH it's like reading it for the first time !!
Reading a Cadence of Part time poets which is ~1,000,000 words, I'm 80% in and decided to take a break to read a shorter 90k Drarry fic (mirror or ecidyrue). Only to get 30% into it and realise it's part of a series which is ~1,200,000 words long... So now I'm reading both 1,000,000+ word fics in tandem while listening to the ~800,000 podfic of crimson rivers (which I've already read) when I can't read... I need serious (sirius) help.

I just LOVED draco with long hair 🤩!! I hope to
see more of your drarry draws!!
Question: You know about Draco the mirror of
Ecidyure in Ao3?
(Sorry for my english 😅)
Thank you!!! I plan to post many more, and I appreciate your kindness. ^_^ and your English is lovely! I do know about this fic, I read it a long time ago and enjoyed it! I wanted to reread it but it's so long, so I found this really amazing podfic, and lets me get work done while I listen to this story! hahaha
this is the link if you are interested! she does pretty great voices and everything, though the whole series isn't recorded yet. I hope she will continue <3

Back again with more Mirror of Ecidyrue art! This one's a cover for book 5, Draco Malfoy and the Talon Brand by starbrigid on Ao3.
The scene I used for the cover is from chapter 27 - Marble and Fire, and features (left to right) Hermione, Harry, Draco, and Luna.
*Once again, I draw Harry mixed, which is why he's a bit darker than the others (also I swear his scar is there it's just hard to see under all the dirt and blood)
