gorgonalmighty replied to your post “otzive replied to your post “Q: is it fanon or canon that a) Harry...”
what are your favorite revival fics tho bc i originally started reading fic for drarry and i'm dying in the best way about this recent interest
Everyone has one of these lists SO I guess I am adding to the cacophony and repetition O WELL.
Some notes: 1) I was never into Drarry as a tween, was all about the femslash, and 2) I’m a pretty fussy reader - I don’t like 60k of flowery shit about cigarettes and rain, and I will stop reading if Harry is too weirdly aggressive or if Draco has no bite or if Draco has too much bite. I also don’t like it when fics start in media res? I don’t want ‘em to already be in a relationship or have had some kind of romantic history, sorta takes the fun out of the whole “WAT THE FUCK CANT BELIEVE IM FALLING FOR MY MORTAL ENEMY” deal. Mostly I am looking for post-war banter where they’re, like, bewildered and struggling, 70% humour, 30% angst. But grounded, not “””crackfic”’”, as we used to call it back in the day. Oh and POC characterisation!!! AnYWay:
1. Kelly @waspabi‘s oeuvre, obviously. Stately Homes of Wilshire started this whole mess for me. Her WIP Hermione Granger’s Crammer For Delinquents On The Run is no less of a delight!!!! HIGHLY REC FOREVER
2. The next one I really loved is Such Great Heights by @rumpledd, in which Draco tends to the Gringotts dragon and everyone else lives at Grimmauld Place, just 90k of bliss.
3. Like everyone else I liked Quintessential Coffeeshop AU Here’s the Pencil, Make It Work
4. Kelly rec’d me The Pure And Simple Truth by @letteredlettered - it is a perfect comedy of manners that reads as though it was written by the Potter-loving child of Austen and Sorkin (sorry Jane, sorry Jane, sorry Jane)
Hmmmm I think those might be it? I’ve read or started most of the recs going around at the mo and have either been indifferent or felt moderately negative about them. I don’t like sex worker or spy AUs terribly much so that takes out a whole chunk. Every now and then I’m like WELL IF UR SO FUCKIN PICKY WRITE YOUR OWN GODDAMN STUFF EXACTLY HOW YOU WANT IT but like...... no..... my next writing project has to be professional, so I just gotta channel those desires into that and KEEP ON READIN
