aqvarelles coming out of ~retirement~ to make art for TDC. iktr. iconic fic, author, and artist

🥺👉🏻👈🏻

That’s so nice to say. I feel very lucky @aqvarelles was willing to make art for me. She started it a few years ago, and I’m so grateful she was willing to finish in time for me to post the final chapters of TDC. 🥺

Hi! Have the stories for the summer fic fest been posted? I think i may be too old for discord. I tried joining but i can’t make head nor tail of the interface lmao

No, the deadline for participating writers to post their stories to the AO3 collection is September 11th, and then the stories will be revealed at some point after that. You can check to see if the stories have been revealed in the collection here:

Christmas Letters is a holiday staple for me now. I don't read hp as much as I used to but I will love how ...human this story is. And especially when reading Draco's reveal as the secret pen pal , it was just so vulnerable and raw that it still makes me cry

🥹

That story is so close to my heart. I don’t know who I was when I wrote it. My cat died on Christmas Eve that year, right in the middle of posting that story (literally a couple hours after I posted chapter 3 on FFN), and I needed that distraction and all the overwhelmingly positive responses more than anyone who read that story knew.

Also, I didn’t forget that I said I’d send you a physical copy!! If your mailing address hasn’t changed, I will try to get it in the mail soon!!

i miss draco and ginny. were there any noteworthy fics published this year aside from the ones from the fic fest? 🫶

I don't know. Anyone have any suggestions?

You can also check out my DG Fics tag, which is where I reblog fics I see on Tumblr. I think the only non-fest fic I read this year was Lilac by TASHA017, a companion piece to her 2021 fest fic, Gold.

Lilac by TASHA017 Draco was certain every eye in the room was on them... Ginny pulled herself close, her chest crushed up against his, her arms around his neck, his hands on her hips. The lilac silk of her dress was soft beneath his touch. Smutty companion piece to Gold.

I need help finding a fic that was either drinny or dramione, I just can’t remember

I remember she gets sorted into slytherin and is an outsider at first but becomes more involved because of this like secret society of slytherin girls who protect each other. The leader of the group sort of takes her under her wing in a sense, and eventually hermione/Ginny becomes the leader towards the end

The secret group has their own place that they get to through a secret door in the common room, but like the door/group has to like accept you or something

Around the Yule ball time, a group of guys attack one of the girls, so they all band together and literally curse them and string them up in the great hall. There’s a couple of other times that the group curses really shitty guys and I can’t remember all of them

I think at the final battle, Millicent bulstrode(I’m not sure if it was her) ends up protecting a lot of young slytherins by knocking them unconscious with a potion and then she takes down a bunch of death eaters by blasting out the windows in the slytherin common room. Something like that, I just can’t remember

I know this is random and prob not a lot to go off of, but please help me it’s driving me nuts that I can’t find it

I couldn't find a Draco/Ginny story with all these elements. There's Things in Common by @colubrina and Allegiance by mugglehugger for Slytherin!Ginny stories. But the Yule Ball does not seem to play a significant role in either story. Then there's Our Winter by Jade Okelani, which isn't a Slytherin!Ginny or Yule Ball story, but Ginny does try to join a secret organization.

I looked at the stories in my Slytherin!Ginny tag, and nothing seemed to match what you described.

Does anyone know this story? Could be Draco/Ginny or Draco/Hermione.

EDIT:

This is The Changeling by Annerb. AO3 / FFN

The scene I always remember when thinking of the dating charade is the pool party where Draco first sees Ginnys snitch tattoo, it was so original and charming and they were both so cute and smooth 💕

I love that scene, too! Draco's response to Ginny's explanation for getting the tattoo... “Isn’t it convenient that I played Seeker, too?” Ugh. 😻 Who was I when I wrote that?

If I asked you what the most memorable scene from any fan fic of mine you've read is, what's the first scene that comes to mind?
