"Wait, I kinda wanna know if there are Cedric/Harry shippers out there who have never shipped Tom/Harry or Draco/Harry"
Wanted to reply to this because I've found it common that people either ship both/all of them or a lot of them stop liking those ships and move onto Hedric. Personally I was introduced to Harry Potter fanfics via Drarry fics but when I found out that Hedric was a thing I completely just stopped shipping Drarry and I never shipped Tomarry.
I think because Drarry is the most popular one and shows up in all the ship lists, most people do start reading it and ship it especially all the new fans that haven't/refuse to watch Harry Potter (which honestly good on them). This is happening a lot right now especially with them remaking Harry Potter a lot more people have decided to get into it.
Nice to read from someone's perspective of it and I agree. Drarry is definitely a dominating ship in the HP fandom even today. Not only because it ships the MC with one of the main antagonists, but it also offers the Enemies to Lovers trope which is especially beloved in the HP fandom (i.e, Dramione, Tomarry, Snarry, etc.)
How long do you think it’ll take before the first polls come after submissions close? Not asking to rush you, in fact I encourage you to take your time. Just asking to get a general time frame! No problems if you don’t have an answer yet of if it’ll be a while, it’s really fine.
hey there!
so, submissions close tomorrow at 12:00 AM (y’all got an hour and 30 minutes lmfao). i’m going to try and post the first poll tomorrow, but it depends on how busy i am!
if i’m unable to post it tomorrow i’ll either do it on the 11th or the 12th.
quick reminder i’ve never done this before and am absolutely awful with time, so i might forget to post a future poll or mess something up.
if i do, just poke me with a message to my inbox! aidbjsjsjsj
Honestly, I feel like Hedric wouldn't last very long realistically so why the hell are you writing them getting married and shit? Go write something better like Tomarry
Because I can? In my opinion, I think Harry and Cedric would've been a great couple together and very healthy too which is why I write them beyond dating. Why should I write things based on your views only when I clearly write for myself and post for the fandom??
Secondly, I don't like tomarry very much. I probably should've stated this earlier because I got an ask weeks ago requesting me to write tomarry but I didn't answer it. (I deleted it because I don't do requests and I'm pretty sure I haven't posted anything implying that I did)
I think now's also a good time to say that while I don't like tomarry, that doesn't mean I hate the shippers
Hii I’ve been dying to read some good Hedric but I can’t seem to find it and whenever I filter it it just doesn’t seem to give me the right ones, so is there any way you could do a rec list of some sort I don’t mind if the works are on going or if it’s au’s my only no is fem Harry Potter - thank youuu
Don't mean to warn you, but you have unleashed a caged part of my mind that's specifically about my love for Hedric. And before you can stop me, I will now start.
My fics
Yes, I will be shamelessly plugging my Hedric fanfiction bc it's all I write. I do have to say that I have a fic on the way (because I always do haha)
Unbreakable
The series is by Harmione95 on AO3. It has 2 finished works with 1 that is updating regularly.
First is Irresistible Attraction: Set in OOTP, it focuses a lot on Harry's teenage life and the start of his relationship with Cedric. Oh and Sirius lives so YIPPEE!
Second is Linking Hearts: Set in HBD, a direct continuation of the last fic that focuses on how Harry and Cedric adjust with being away from each other now that the latter has graduated. The fic also introduces other relationships like Hermione getting with an original character (who is also Cedric's best mate) and Ron with Lavender (a relationship that doesn't really get dabbled on in the fic.)
Just a warning, someone crucial to Harry's life dies and it's neither Cedric nor Sirius. I'm not spoiling teehee. After that, that's when the themes start getting dark with the impending war.
Last is Entwined Souls: Set in DH and is currently being updated at least once or twice a month. As of now, it doesn't really focus a lot on Harry and Cedric since it just started. But I think we'll be getting more moments of them during the middle of the fic. I think the author would like to focus a bit on Hermione/OMC from the looks of it. But there's no real news yet.
This series is crucial to my love of Hedric so I HAD to recommend it.
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
Nightmare Neighbor
A longfic by IvoryNvy on AO3. It's basically Cedric and Draco fighting over Harry. Not really fight but you can tell they despise each other. It's a Hedric endgame
A longfic by JupiterLV. There's no Voldemort it's just a slice of life kind of fic. Harry and Cedric were childhood friends. And then they stopped being friends. And then they became friends again. Idk how to explain it it's just a really cute fic. There is some Cedric/Cho but it's minor and it lasts for like 2-3 chapters if I can remember. Endgame Hedric ftw 🗣️🔥🔥
The Price of Courage: The Boy Who Stayed Kind
An in the works longfic by Lunerwriter on AO3. Set in OOTP. The first chapter is set in GOF. Cedric is killed by the killing curse but is inexplicably alive again after Harry brings his body back. Very Cedric-centric. The first few chapters after that focuses on how his family tries to accept what had happened to him. And along those arguments and misunderstandings back at home he realizes that he does in fact have a choice in what happens to the Wizarding World now that Voldemort is back. Really cool take on how it would've been if Cedric had lived.
In the Name of Decaf and Broken Biscotti
An in the works longfic by JupiterLV. Coffeeshop AU where Cedric manages a cafe named "Two Seekers" that's owned by Albus and Aberforth. It only has one chapter as of now but ik it's gonna be good if you stick around.
I just realized this isn't a lot of fics bc most works in the Cedric/Harry tag are either where Hedric is a minor relationship, one sided, or a past one. SIGH... There needs to be more Hedric fics... Which is why I'm writing so much hehehe
I'm probably gonna post this and then say "WAIT I SHOULD'VE ADDED [BLANK]" but nah I'm locking it in trust me gang
Other than that, you can also check the fanlore page on Hedric to get recommendations of a few fics. Like the "Always Yours" series and the "Frequency Illusion" series but I haven't read either of those just yet.
I do not agree or condone JKR's actions against the trans community. If you agree with her views that trans people do not have a place in society, then you do not have a place to enjoy my works. And please politely block my account on your way out. It's a simple request and it'll save both of us the time.
As per my profile description, I write fanfiction. Most of which revolve around Cedric/Harry.
I love the concept of Harry and Cedric getting together, getting married, having kids and growing old so if you like that, you're more than welcome to join the ride in my fanfics. Or you could drop a PM on here so we can be Cedric/Harry moots hehe.
Hedric Concepts
Hedric music playlist I made
