Snippet from my Drinny Fall Fest 2024 fic.

Malfoy gasps, a hand clasping at his chest, a posture that looks awfully endearing in his massive frame. “I do not snort, Ginny.”

“Aha! You can say my name correctly.”

“I never said I couldn’t.”

“So you just like being difficult.”

Malfoy takes a step into Ginny’s space. The air around her shifts, and she finds herself shrouded in a rich, smoky aroma of sandalwood and vetiver that has the outer edges of her mind fading into haze.

“I can be easy, if you like,” he says, his voice sounding so much like it did when he'd laughed – low with a rich timbre that sends a shiver down Ginny's spine – “but something tells me you'd find that entirely too boring.”

Re the war machine story and the 'unstable' robots:

That is one of the most beautiful stories I have read all year. Thank you so much for sharing it. :)

That's so kind of you, thank you so much! I'm really surprised by how much it's getting passed around--I do writing-prompt-s replies mostly as a way to shoo the moths out of my mental attic, and I write them in one shot without going back and fixing them because if I edited, I'd never post. As such, I always go "tch!" on a reread after posting, because of this grammar error or that discontinuity...I'm really glad that people are seeing a shining heart to this one despite all of that. <3

New fic cover for:

Love and other Succours

Drarry | T | 7k

Featuring deaf Draco, mediwizard Harry, and idiot boys falling in love.

One year into his role as Lead Auror for the Unit of Cursed Artefacts, Draco Malfoy was seriously injured during a raid. It left him permanently deaf, and Harry Potter, of all people, was his assigned mediwizard.

There was a lot to be said about this. That is, until there wasn’t.

OR

Five times Draco Malfoy had a complaint about Harry Potter and one time Harry was the one with the complaint.

Plus a bonus time where there were no complaints to be made at all from either of them.

Fic cover for...

Pretty Boy

Featuring Criminal Minds AU with oblivious Draco, friends to lovers, and a throuple.

[Charlie X Draco X Harry | E | 2k]

Draco Malfoy is half-way in love with co-worker and best friend, Charlie Weasley. When they take a work trip to Charlie's hometown, Draco meets Charlie's husband, Harry Potter, and soon finds himself falling for him too.

A snippet

“Pretty Boy.” Charlie's voice is a rich timbre that has heat rising in Draco’s veins, so warm it pushes out the cold that had begun to settle between the layers of his skin. Draco catches Charlie's eyes in the rearview mirror. He doesn't try to hide the way Charlie's eyes on him send his mind into a short circuit. It'd be useless anyway. Charlie sees right through him.

And another

“So Charlie wasn't kidding about the whole ‘Pretty Boy’ thing, was he?” Potter asks as they make their way up a mountain to one of the crime scenes. Small rocks make for an uneven footing; and in his shock, Draco trips. “Woah, easy there.” Potter is quick to grab at Draco’s waist to keep him from falling. He has large hands, his grip firm a hot brand against Draco’s sensitive skin. “I guess he wasn't kidding about how clumsy you can be either.”

@microficmay day 1 prompt & bonus challenge (2nd person pov), 76 words, rating: M, Drarry

Prompt: Create

_ _ _

His hair looks like spilled ink against your bleached linen sheets, red eyes glossed over in pleasure. Blood trails down the corner of his mouth, and he chases it with his tongue, licks it back into his mouth and moans.

The puncture wounds at your throat ache, the indents matching perfectly with his canines.

He grabs your waist so hard that you'd be liable to bruise if not for your undead heart. He moves up into you, hard, fast and heady.

You created this, with your own fangs, you fashioned yourself the most perfect, beautiful creature. Yours for all eternity.

First time writing a micro fic and writing with a prompt. Really enjoyed it. Thank you the challenge @microficmay

[fox-bright]

Spent some time this morning in the garden with one of my very favorite edible plants; Borago officinalis, borage, "starflower." The blooms taste a bit like honeyed cucumbers, and are gorgeous dried for a tisane or dropped fresh into a lemonade, topping a salad, scattered across a cake, pressed and baked into cookies. The fuzzy leaves are also edible, though the hairs on a raw leaf can be a bit irritating and so they're more likely to be dried and used for tea or cooked like spinach or chard.

It's very popular with pollinators from solitary bees to hummingbirds, and it's very common to see it full of butterflies.

Planting it beside your tomatoes or your brassicas not only makes those plants happier due to the companion effect (borage improves the soil where it grows), but also protects your vegetables from some predators, either through confusing insects like the the hawkmoth whose caterpillars can rapidly decimate a tomato plant, or through attracting predatory wasps which prey on those caterpillars.

Plus it's just, like, really pretty.
