happy fandom anniversary to our darling @sitp-recs !!! you are an angel of kindness and encouragement and rec lists, and we love you endlessly!
Today we celebrate the birthday of the amazing, the magnificent, the fantastic @shealwaysreads ✨🎊
Commissioned by the lovely @sitp-recs for @shealwaysreads, the uncensored version is for our birthday babe only folks ;) Based off her lovely lovely drabble Sleep Easy amongst other things 🥵 Happy birthday beautiful human! It was an honor to draw this, I hope you enjoy!
[email protected] a lovely human! QUEEN of Fic Recs. Like, holy hell. How does she do it?? This lady can make a rec list at the drop of a hat, I stg.
So many themes! So many asks answered! Lots of Drarry, but not just Drarry! Rare pairs galore, too! Not to mention all the fandom love! She is so incredibly supportive, generous, and kind. Liv is such a blessing to fandom. Not only for the incredible (and frankly insane (but like in a good way)) rec lists, but for her very precious presence. Thanks for being such a great person, Liv. And thanks for being here! (Also: thanks for letting me pester you!)
Dark!Harry/Draco
Had to include this, which I stumbled upon while looking for another rec list. One: isn't Dark!Harry such fun? Two, lots of familiar author names! And a few fics I've read, even, though I don't read much Drarry! So we're starting this one off with the list I decided to include on a whim LOL!
Dralbus
My oh my! I can never resist Albus Severus/Draco. And what a list this is! I can second like...all of these, basically. With a special OH HECK YEAH for Make Your Own Bed and The Mark of a Good Man!!!!
Dron
AHHH DRACO/RON I LOVE THEM OH GOD. I am so obsessed. It's one of my favorite Draco ships for sure. And probably my favorite ship where both parties are the same age hahaha. If anything could sway me away from my love of age gaps, it's this bratty blond and riled-up redhead! And gosh, this list has so much good stuff on it!!!!! Seriously, all of them. Also my fic Collateral Damage is on here which ???? I cry.
I swear I'm not reccing this list for selfish reasons, though. Plumage??? Excellent. A Rush of Blood to the Head?? Oh god HOT. A Fine Foray Into Fashionable Fellatio???? God, this lady has taste. TASTE, I tell you.
Oh. oh.
This one is a fun story for me. Drarry is a ship I struggle with. Much to my dismay! The Drarry fandom has such talent!! I'm in awe. Yet, I never could get my head around it. Partly due to my mostly monogamous feelings for my OTP, Snarry. Partly, it just never spoke to me. No matter how well-written a story, no matter how gorgeous an art, I never felt it.
Until Still Life. On this list! The title was familiar. Folks had mentioned the author not long ago and how they'd orphaned their works. And me being curious, I went digging, even though I didn't read any of them. Then Liv's list popped up and I suppose it felt like fate. It was the second time I'd seen that fic's title in a short period, and it was a short piece. And wow oh wow! I had to run to blather in Liv's DMs about it, but that was the first time I really felt Drarry. What a lovely piece!
Also what a fun idea for a rec list, so definitely check it out!
Scarry
So remember how I'm mostly monogamous to Snarry? I like to tell people that Snarry is my husband and Scarry is the hot poolboy. Lord, I have seen temptation, and its name is Scarry. Harry and SCORPIUS???? I need more of it in my life, for real. More to read, more to write, just MORE. The Claiming?? Oh wow. Getting Hard?? HECK. YES. A Temporary Reprieve???? ....Sorry, that was the sound of me hitting hitting the ground. Please read all of these, and then thank Liv for doing the Lord's work.
for an explanation about Mutuals March, or to figure out why i wrote you a thing, please check out this post.
Hello my darling! Oof I see Tacky is out there doing the lord’s work (I’m SCREAMING at Harry’s gorgeous haircut! You smash it every damn time, how even!!!) so I thought I’d send some love and a very generic prompt bc can’t prompt to save my life 😂 I just love your soft domesticity so much, so maybe something like washing the other’s hair (so what if I got a hair kink with your Drarry don’t @ me) or sharing each other’s clothes? Anything you feel inspired to create re: domesticity will be amazing really ❤️ thank you so much for all you do!!! - sitp
AAA thank you liv!! ٩( ᐛ )و
i’m not sure if this counts but it’s the first thing that popped into my head!!! tiny muggle dragon (blow dryer is boring)
also them cuddling in sweaters is basically an art trope(?) for me at this point o(-(
Liv Galore!
To Liv @sitp-recs,
Congratulations on the two-year blog! As you know, we all know that we’re the winners for you having it. As someone new wondering in Drarry (and some rare-pair ships) or someone who wonders in after quite a few years, or more likely those who just love to read great fic, your blog with all its recs placed into a multitude of categories just primed for one to click on again and again has made HP fandom (and specifically Drarry) more than it was before you started your blog. Your contribution has been immense.
I love that you go back into the old days in one post and the next is for a current revealed fest. I love that you cast your net over authors old and new, known and not known as much, and some forgotten.
For me personally, I was introduced to your blog by my beta last fall. I wrote my first fic in ten years, and you mentioned it. I had a Tumblr account, but it was pretty much unused for ages and didn’t follow more than a half-dozen folks. She immediately pinged me and sent the link. In her note she said that being mentioned by Liv was a very good thing. At that time, I didn’t know who was who, what the trends were, how fandom had changed, etc… But I followed your blog and clicked away. I cannot thank you enough for making the transition so easy and so much fun.
We love and adore you! Happy 2nd @sitp-recs! And most certainly Love Galore, Rom
Hello my darling! If you feel like exploring either Flume or Beguiling further I won’t complain 😳 if not, what about some tender friends with benefits? Would love anything you decide to write!! Sending love - Liv
Hello Liv, my love. How about a little bit of both? A little Beguiling, a little friends with benefits? Hope you enjoy 😘

When should Harry tell him? Mouth pressed to his ear before, during, after? As Draco laughs, sprawled out for Lazy Sunday Dinner? When he's inside him, in reply to 'I could take you apart'? When should Harry say he loves him even though they are supposed to just be friends?
It’s done! Ahh I’m already missing this recs week. It was challenging but super fun and rewarding. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I did! As usual, here’s the masterlist that is now linked on my pinned/bio post. Thank you guys for your amazing support, enthusiasm and feedback - a special shout-out to @uphorie for giving me this idea and to @tackytigerfic for always helping me pick banners and providing reassurance through anxiety times lol. Happy readings!

I’m so excited to share something a little bit different for Happy Hour today! A fellow Drarry Rec Blog, @sitp-recs graciously agreed to host today’s Happy Hour! So I get to sit back and relax as she shares her thoughts about a fic that made her happy this week!
Sitp recommenced the Autumn Drarry Drabbles series by @peachpety (28,483 words total, rating varies from G to E).
Without further ado, I’m going to take off my hosting responsibilities, pour a butterbeer, and let Sitp tell you about the fic herself! Here’s what she had to say:
I’ve been wanting to rec this fantastic collection for a while because @peachpety delivers the best kind of comfort food and these have been saving me on rough days. So when the lovely Librarian invited me to write this week’s Happy Hour rec I didn’t think twice! I also wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate Peach, not only as a fabulous author who writes masterfully all kinds of genres, but also as one of the kindest members of our community. If it’s up to me, they’ll get all the love and appreciation they deserve!
This autumn drabbles collection is a refreshing and precious gift to the fandom, and everyone going through a busy or stressful week should treat themselves this Friday! The 31 short stories show Harry and Draco falling in love and falling together in the most varied, charming scenarios and I appreciate that many of these stories include their closest friends as a cheerful and supportive crew. The setting, the characterization, the dialogue! Everything is carefully well thought and executed, packing a lot of emotion and character despite the short word count. I’m amazed at peach’s ability to explore so many different prompts going from non-magical AUs to meet-cute and established relationship, always maintaining a light tone and those soft and sexy romance vibes, my favorite brand of Drarry these days. All prompts are autumn-inspired and fill me with gentle warmth, soft nostalgia and bubbling feels. I strongly suggest reading all the ficlets in a row!
I loved collaborating with Sitp for this list because she managed to rec something that I haven’t yet read by an author I also love! And maybe if we ask her nicely, she’ll tell us more about her favorites drabbles from this collection! Definitely go check out her blog and give her lots of love too for being such a fabulous host of this week’s Happy Hour!
❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️
Lots of Love and Happy Friday!
P.S. You can find this fic and the others that’ve been recommended during Happy Hour in my AO3 Happy Hour Sub-Collection! Or check out our wonderful collaborator’s AO3 list- Sitp’s All-Time Faves!
