Drarry or wolfstar (your choice) on a dinner date (of your choice)

(This turned out to be super long, but here we go. I hope you like it, I had a lot of fun)

———————-

Harry was late. Who is late to a first date?

Draco checked his watch for the seventh time that evening. Potter was supposed to meet him in the Atrium 4 minutes ago. He could AT LEAST send a quick note saying he´d run late. Well, that’s what you get for agreeing to this. It had been quite the surprise when Potter had asked him out, but Draco couldn´t say he hadn´t been pleased. The flirty looks the auror had sent him whenever they met, had slowly driven him mental.

His brooding was interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat.

“I´m sorry?”, said that someone, who turned out to be Harry. A quick glance at his pocket watch confirmed that Potter was precisely 5 minutes and 23 seconds late. He closed the watch and let it slip into his vest pocket.

Looking for some good fics

Hey guys! Last time I was active on this blog I stalked the Drarry tags and reblogged a lot of fics, and I know some people really appreciated that because it gave their great fics some limelight. But of course I missed most of the great fics posted in the last year. So now I would love to reblog those anyway!

So please, if you want me to read, reblog and share your Drarry/Linny/Pansmione etc tumblr fic feel free to send it to me! Anything with a max of 2k words and no MCD or non-con goes. And of course you can also send me fic posts that someone else wrote if you want me to read and reblog that!

[rose-grangerweasleyisbae]

Dear Rose, welcome back! Great to read that your doing better! I know the "beating bad habits"-part very well myself. I hope you can be mild about your progress. I was glad when You answered my last question, telling about going to therapy etc. I was so relieved to read that you are not alone with it! I wish you a very smooth re-entering in Fandom and I wish You to find not in it again! All the best, Emi (You might want to change the headline of your askbox? ;))

Thank you so much! And thanks for the reminder about the ask box, I fixed it!

Jelly Beans

For @spaceaas, grmlb

‘Gmorning’, Draco’s phone screen lit up. ‘you awake yet?’

Draco uttered a loud, long groan before making himself move to reply. ‘Yes.’ he typed, then added ‘sadly’ as a second message, because he’d never quite shaken his love for the melodramatic. 

‘why sadly?’ came the reply.

‘I have no jelly beans.’ 

‘haha’ came the reply. 

Draco grumbled and tossed his phone towards the end of the bed. He was in no mood to deal with his boyfriend laughing at him. He knew not having jelly beans wasn’t the end of the world, but it still sucked. His stupid neighbours had already spend half the night keeping him from sleep and his cat had mollested his curtains into shreds and furniture shops were closed because of covid and the one thing that could give him some serotonin was miles away by bus. 

Stupid Ministry and their magical travel ban. He hated being the only one of his friends who couldn’t apparate or take the floo. Especially because they were always too busy to visit. Annoyed at himself and the world, he turned around and tried to fall back asleep.

-------

“Catch!” Something heavy and solid collided with his shoulder. 

“Ouch! What the fuck was that, Potter?” Draco didn’t have to look to see who it was, he only knew one idiot stupid enough to wake him up by tossing something heavy at him. Bloody Gryffindors. 

“Jelly beans,” Harry looked altogether too pleased with himself as he removed his shoes and hopped under the covers. “Figured you’d like those.”

“Because I told you and then you laughed at me,” Draco glared at him. 

“And then I asked what flavour, but you’d thrown away your phone you prissy brat.” Harry kissed him. Then kissed him again, and again, until his whole face had been covered. Draco kept glaring at him out of principle the entire time. “I love you, you old grump.”

“I’m not sure I love you back,” Draco grumbled. 

“But I brought you Jelly Beans.” Harry pouted as he put the ridiculously sized jar of beans on Draco’s lap. “Doesn’t that count for anything?”

Draco looked at Harry’s puppy dog eyes and sighed. “Alright, fine. I might love you a little bit.” 

“Nice,” Harry beamed. Draco rolled his eyes but couldn’t stop himself from smiling. He might have craved Harry’s affection just a little bit more than Jelly Beans after all.

The end

If you wanna buy me Jelly Beans I have a ko-fi (and if you buy me Jelly Beans I’d be glad to provide a drabble in return)

Ice

“Harry…”

Harry was on high alert as soon as he heard that voice. “What happened? What do you need?”

Despite popular belief, Draco wasn’t the spoiled demanding ponce he’d once been. The rough years after the war had changed him, and now, if anything, he didn’t ask for things enough. It drove their friends mental, with both of them circling around the other, too insecure or scared to act. 

And that meant that Draco calling him in the middle of the night when the man knew Harry was at Dean’s thirtieth birthday party, was a Very Big Deal. Especially because his voice had sounded very distressed. 

“Ice.”

“What? Why? Did you fall? Is your ankle swollen? Did you kill someone? Do we need to put a body on ice? Do you wanna go ice skating?” 

Next to him, Ron fell off his chair laughing. 

“You’re so whipped mate,” Dean chuckled. “I’d call it pathetic if it weren’t so damn cute.”

But Harry ignored their jibes because he had A Very Serious Issue to deal with. Or at least he did as soon as he found out what Draco wanted. 

“No, Harry. Ice cream. I made fresh apple sauce but I don’t have any ice cream, Harry. And now I’m all alone and yoga got cancelled and Pansy is in Tokyo and I don’t have any ice cream.” The most dramatic of sighs could be heard on the other end of the line. “I’m sad Harry. I miss you. And ice cream. I might miss ice cream a little bit more.”

Harry’s heart did a weird flappy thing as a smile nearly broke his face. “I’ll get you ice cream, love. I’ll be there in five.”

“Thanks.” Draco still sounded pouty. He’d probably worked himself up into a right state, torn between his desire for ice cream and company and his fear of entitlement. Harry would have to hug it out of him. “Love you, you idiot.”

Harry chuckled. “Love you too.”

[rose-grangerweasleyisbae]

Fucking need ice cream for my applesauce again today. I haven't learned a think since I wrote this. Very sad

Spring

She dipped her toes into the icy water. ‘It’s cold.’

‘It’s a mountain spring, they’re always cold.’ Mirthe looked up to her aunt, her face obscured by the sun shining behind her. Her aunt knew everything. 

‘Why are they always cold?’ 

‘Because they’re fed by melting snow, and the stream goes too fast here to heat up by the sun.’ Her aunt sat down in the grass next to her and leaned back into the sunshine. ‘Can you still feel your toes?’ 

Mirthe giggled. ‘No.’ 

‘Good,’ her aunt noted. ‘Useless things, toes. They help you stay on your feet, but I think the world would be kinder if we fell on our faces more often. The world would be a softer place to land.’ 

‘My mum says I’m not allowed to use your phrases because they’re rude,’ said Mirthe. ‘She says they’ll get me into trouble.’ 

‘Well then we better be quiet around your mother now, won’t we?’ Her aunt lay down on the damp grass and closed her eyes. ‘Might be best to get your toes out of the water now, love. The world isn’t a soft place yet. You’ll need a sure gait in life.’ 

Mirthe pulled her feet out of the water. It fascinated her how they slowly warmed up and came back to life. She barely noticed that it hurt a little. 

‘Hey auntie?’

‘Yes?’

‘I think you’re neat.’ 

Her aunt smiled at her with her eyes closed. ‘I think you’re neat too, love. You’re the neatest person I’ve ever met.’

[rose-grangerweasleyisbae]

It was such a nice surprise to see your name on my dash today. 😄 Glad you're back, for however long you choose to stay!

Prompt : "all for what? A laugh with your friends.. I trusted you."

Pair : Drarry

“All for what? A laugh with your friends…” Draco glared at him. “I trusted you. Told you my deepest, darkest secrets and insecurities and this is what you do with them? Use them to stab me in the back?” 

“He dropped a dead mouse on your head while you were feeding the pigeons in the park, Draco,” his insufferable boyfriend chuckled. “It’s not like he murdered your entire family.” 

“Murdering my entire family would have been preferable.” Draco scoffed, once again glaring daggers at the culprit. Moses, Draco’s new barn owl and bane of his existence, pretended to be asleep and not hear his own scolding. “I would have thanked him for that, rightful bastards that they all are. But he ruined my hair. I do not forgive anyone who ruins my hair.” 

“Hmm, I remember making your hair pretty messy yesterday,” Harry noted as he pushed his fingers through the blond locks. “You didn’t seem to mind then.”

“I also remember you begging me for mercy, Potter,” Draco stomped harshly on his toes. “And I’ll make you do it again if you don’t behave.” 

“Ouch, you prick. I was just trying to cheer you up.” 

“You can cheer me up by making some owl stew for dinner tonight. It’s all that demented chicken is good for, though I’ll bet he’d have to audacity to taste gross too.” At those words, Moses found his perch getting too hot under his clawed feet and he quickly flew out of the window, into the safety of the sunset. “Coward,” Draco muttered. 

Harry stepped around him and kissed his nose. “You’re adorable when you’re dramatic, you know.” 

“I am not.” Draco’s foot aimed for Harry’s toes again, but his boyfriend darted away. “Coward. I’m surrounded by cowards.” 

Harry gave no reply, just took a few more steps backwards, then quickly came forward and…

“Potter! let go of me right this instant!” Draco squealed as Harry jumped into his arms. “This is undignified! Blasphemy! How dare you!” 

“I had to do something to save my poor feet,” Harry tightened his hold on Draco. “Besides, you’re adorable when you’re angry too.”

So... I might start this up again

I've been running this blog most actively during the heights of my depression. It was my refuge, both in writing and in immersing myself in the fandom community. It's why I've been hesitant to start it up again because I feared it might feed old bad habits and thought patterns.

But I've also missed this place a great deal. This blog brought me joy during times when nothing else did and it got me friendships with the most interesting people who I otherwise never would have met. Tied with those friendships also came a big bad habit though, because I had no self esteem or sense of self worth and as soon as there was the tiniest hint that someone didn't like me or didn't want to talk to me my mood plummeted, and it didn't bring out anything nice in me.

Looking back I know I have some people to apologise to and quite some habits to break when interacting with online people. That's why I want to slowly start using this blog again. At first to just post new work and answer asks and DMs, later maybe also while actively engaging with other fandom folks and their content.

I'm doing better in the sense that I am no longer depressed, but I have 4-5 years of bad habits and thought patterns to break and a self esteem level to build from the ground up. I hope that using this blog can help me get there.

And on a lighter note, I just really miss writing. I'm 30k into an original work, but I find working on that is like a giant hike through the mountains, and sometimes I just wanna take a quick walk. Thus I want to write some fanfic again, and hopefully finish some WIP's.

So, long story short, send me some prompts and a wc and a pairing and I'll see if I can get back into things!

“What are you doing?” Ron didn’t even have the brain capacity to be annoyed by Malfoy’s presence, he could only be confused by his actions.

“Stretching,” Malfoy replied calmly, as if he wasn’t currently trying to fold himself into the shape of a human pretzel. “I train every morning. I didn’t just wake up with a handsome boyfriend and a sixpack, you know.”

Ron blinked slowly, and then saw he’d missed part of the picture. Harry sat on the couch behind Malfoy, with the stupid goofy smile on his face he usually reserved for after winning quidditch matches. It appeared he hadn’t even noticed Ron had entered the living room.

“Okay…” Ron slowly walked backwards and closed the door behind him. When Hermione opened her mouth to ask about their house guests, Ron just shook his head and went back to bed.

“I fear,” he said after several minutes of silence. “That Harry Potter is a himbo.”

[rose-grangerweasleyisbae]

Dear Rose, I've written you a few times anon ('cause I do not have Tumblr). I check your blog regularly, because I'm worried for you. I understand that there was some bad stuff going on and I think it's great that you were able to remove yourself from the situation. However- it seems that your still not doing very well :( I hope you do have someone to talk to or the energy to find someone. I wanted to let you know that there is someone out here thinking about you and carrying about you!Lotsof

Seeing this ask and my bday ask even after months of being inactive is so strange and humbling and whack. I think my mind won't comprehend that people actually care about me and my blog and my writing and my life. That was the conclusion of my last therapy session too, and yes you read it right after 4 years of being a depressed fuck I'm finally trying to not be a depressed fuck🎉 only took me nearly trying to kill myself to get help. 

Anyway, what I meant to say was that yes, I was in a terrible place when I left this blog. But as I said, I got help, I talk more about my mental health issues with my irl friends and family, and even though I still have awful days, I think I'm getting better now. And since some people care enough about this blog and me to send me asks even months after I left it, I think I owe it to them, to people like this anon, to say that I'm okay. Or on my way towards it, at any rate. 

I don't know if I'll ever return to this blog. Maybe only once in a blue moon, like I do now. I do still write, sometimes fanfic, but mostly original fiction. I'm attempting to do nanowrimo this year, you can look me up under the name "Donna rafiki". 

I hope all the caring anons out there are doing okay as well, and that they know that I appreciate their kind words more than I'll ever be able to say here♥️

[rose-grangerweasleyisbae]

Just wanted to say Happy birthday! I hope it was really nice in spite of the state of the world and everything. 💗

Thank you💚
