[sits-bound]

Two years of binding!

I still feel like I'm new to all this, it's hard to believe I finished my first bind two years ago. But then I look at that bind and realize, yeah, I've come pretty far. 😅

I wish I could come up with some stats easily, I love stats, but I haven't been great about tracking how many binds I've done. And for some I've done several copies. So obviously I've made many more books than just the number of my tumblr posts would indicate.

But here are some favorites from the past 12 months (images link to posts):

Drarry as written by GallaPlacidia

Soulmates by @dodgerkedavra

Okay I have to make myself stop here or I'll just list every bind I made in the past year! But it makes me happy that so many of my binds make me happy!

Also, I have a few that I'm really excited about that haven't made it to their recipients yet, so this is definitely not exhaustive.

I just got back from a trip to London where I bought a lot of bookcloth and beautiful paper, so I am very much looking forward to making more beautiful books with my new supplies!

Day 16: a podfic

FINALLY THE DAY HAS ARRIVED

I have been SO EXCITED ever since I saw this prompt that I will finally be able to rec some of the best podfics out there <3

The podfics I have chosen to include are in one way or another special to me in a way only audio media can be. Like that song you have heard on your first date and it’s now your song. Well, by this pattern I have „my podfic” of first commute to new workplace, this one autumn sunny walk with my dog, finding an absolute joy in a new hobby and finally being able to clean the dishes AFTER the meal rather than before it xd

There will be a few, so strap in and enjoy! All of them are Drarry of course 😁 Please make sure to check out other works by those creators, as they are literally all GOLDEN 🤍

Way Down We Go

🎧 by @cailynwrites, @etl-echo-audiobooks, 13h

Summary:

The war was over. Or at least that’s what the papers said. They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding. Maybe they did. *** In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town. It's super.

Thank you for my favourite prompt so far @hprecfest team and HUGE shoutout to all the amazing podficcers out there <3 Thank you for taking your time and energy making these recordings so we can make all the new memories with your voices in our heads (and these voices we welcome 😅)

New and improved!

[Podfic] Ship of Theseus by GallaPlacidia

In the two and a half years since I first recorded Ship of Theseus, I have recorded dozens of podfics, and I feel like I have improved greatly since then. I recently listened to the old version of this pod, and I was not happy with how flat it sounded. So I recorded it again.

(old version in chapter 1, new version in chapter 2)

[lostdrarryfics]

I’m looking for a fic after the war and they are headed back to hogwarts. I believe it was multi-chaptered and complete. It was a pretty long fic I believe. Harry strikes a deal (and is too stubborn to retract it) so that Draco can go back to school (and not to Azkaban if I remember right(?)) But as a repercussion, the magical government(?), spelled him so that Draco had to obey every one of Harry’s demand statements - that was the main plot point. Harry didn’t really want Draco to obey his words (mainly because he would say statement sentences on accident and Draco would have to answer etc) so he mainly avoided phrases like that. I believe Draco also had to be near him(??). BUT there was another male character (I thought it was an original character but idk anymore) who hated Draco and found like a loophole and made it so that Draco had to listen to him too. He would take him to this bathroom and beat him up (he might have used an illegal curse too - crucio probs). Also, Draco would study at the library with Harry’s friends and became closer to his friends too - mentionably, Ginny and Hermione too. The guy who hated Draco made Draco not be able to tell anyone else what he was doing and he had to get ‘defensive’ if anyone questioned him on it. Harry is a little sad because he was growing to really like Draco and now he’s distancing himself and being rude, but whenever they avoid mean guy discussion Draco is really sweet and Draco would melancholy lean on him to act as an apology (I think?). Mean guy also makes Draco search Harry’s room so that Mean guy could publish dirt on Harry in the newspaper, but Draco doesn’t find anything. Also Harry would walk him to class. And the mean guy would use the time it took Harry to walk over and get him from class to beat him up. Also, one scene was Harry walked into the bathroom trying to find Draco and the mean guy made it seem like Draco and him were in a romantic relationship. I remember liking the fic a lot, but I can’t find it! Please help :(

Reading through Gallaplacidia's The Bucket List and now I'm convulsing on the floor, wanting to smack the shit out of Harry.

ONE MORE WORD. ONE MORE WORD, I DARE YOU. 😭

I can’t believe works like “Ship of Theseus” exist in real life, they should be protected by WWF
