💌 El's 2025 Rec Room 💌

I ravaged my slutty bookmarks and plucked out a few 2025 faves. Kudos to the brilliant, horny creators for sharing your brilliant, horny creations. I've been lucky enough to get to know many of you this year, so thanks to all who befriended me as I Kool-Aid-Manned my way into these glorious fandoms. <3

Drarry

Elevation by Anonymous (will tag after reveals). Vivid, immersive worldbuilding and a love story that feels like a mug of hot cocoa.

The Power of a Good Apology by @fluxweeed. My face when I think of this one is just the smirk emoji.

rational economic actors by @yellowfork. Brilliant prose, banter, humor, and smut. 10/10, many notes, all incoherent.

easier by @garagepaperback. Distinct, elegant prose and a clever take on the soulmates trope. Also hot.

Jock(ey) for Position by @smugrobotics. Written for Harry in Lingerie Fest, which really says it all.

The Sweet Spot by @toomuchplor. First-time rimming YAY.

Terminus by @greattemptation. A story told in reverse, delicately structured and as heartbreaking as you could ever wish for.

Like Falling Asleep by @draykray. Poignant, intense, and deeply satisfying.

Other HP

Irresistible | Harry/Sirius (art) by @allesfresser. The Sirry gods sent Gnawti to draw for our sins.

Flesh Memory | Harry/Teddy by @citrusses. This will break you and you'll say thanks.

Emeralds | Harry/Albus Severus by @hoko-onchi-writes. We are hashtag blessed that Hoko went full dadson here in the year of our lord.

A Wolf Devouring A Wolf Devouring A Wolf | Sirius/Harry/Teddy by @mourningliliesmorningglories. Gorgeous writing all around. The rarity of this threesome is a cardinal sin.

safe in my ashtray | Harry/Sirius by @knotsnuffles. A somno fic to end all.

Animal and Air | Harry/Teddy by @lqtraintracks. The scorching hot Heddy omegaverse we needed.

Canis | Harry/Teddy by @chiquita-3. More delicious worldbuilding + daddy kink and lingerie. I'm a simple bloke with simple needs.

Saxloch

seafoam by hellotte. The source of my infection.

don't stand a chance in these four walls by @au-palais. Don't know anyone who hasn't read it, so if that's you, get to it!

Where the Shivering Dog Rests by @unicorntearmartini. Still barking up the wall at this one.

Sugar on my Tongue by @appelwagon. The quintessential Saxloch omegevarse. Everything I ever wanted.

Like Water by @starlitmyre. A beautifully inventive take on years-post-canon.

pushing it down and praying (series) by @apfelhalm. Wouldn't be a Saxloch rec list without it.

new love (series) by bruisecest. A latecomer who arrived with a bang. Second person my beloved!

Misc

Atonement | Lochlan/Tim (White Lotus) by @galaxoshine. The sort of guilty second-person dadson that brings me to my knees.

Teeth (series) | Gray Mitchell/Zach Mitchell (Jurassic World) by @knotsnuffles. Shipping the dino bros was not in my 2025 bingo but this has carved out space in my brain that I don't imagine I'll ever get back.

can’t swim but i still dive | Connor Storrie/Hudson Williams (Heated Rivalry RPF) by magazinesoap. I unequivocally did not need a new RPF ship but these fuckers followed me home like a stray kitten. This is everything RPF should be—gritty realism, well researched and canon friendly.

Erlkönig

Who rides there so late through the night dark and drear? The father it is, with his infant so dear

Gen, Timothy & Lochlan, 350 words, major character death.

"D'youseethat?" Lochlan asks, speech so slurred it comes out as one word.

"See what, son?"

No answer. Just Lochlan's head lolling against Timothy's shoulder, his feverish gaze focused on a spot in the distance. There's nothing outside but palm trees and scattered houses rushing by. Timothy's stomach drops. He shouldn't have waited for the poison to wear off on its own, should've called an ambulance, should've done fucking something.

"Can't you go faster?" he urges the cab driver who grunts and lets the engine howl.

Lochlan used to get terrible colds when he was little. Infections that had his lungs rattling and his entire body shaking with fever. This is similar. This is worse. He keeps thrashing around in Tim's arms, his lungs heaving against his birdcage chest with tremendous effort. When Tim pushes some curls out of his son's forehead, the pale skin is clammy to the touch.

"D'youhearthat," Lochlan pants.

"Hear what, son?"

Lochlan, too weak or too breathless to say more, doesn't elaborate. Just keeps staring through the cab window, something strange flitting over his face. Wonder. Recognition. Fear.

"It's him," he croaks, "he's calling for me."

Tim follows his gaze against better judgement: there's still nothing out there. Something cold and dreadful takes hold of him and he tightens his grip on his son's trembling body as if it might help. As if he can keep him here, in the land of the living, by sheer force of will.

"Just a little longer, Lochy. We're almost there."

But when they finally pull up in front of the hospital and the driver kills the engine, it's as if all sound has been sucked out of the world at once. Everything's quiet besides Timothy's raging pulse in his ears. His insides go cold and he knows. Knows what he'll find before he even looks down.

Lochlan⸺clutching-the-hem-of-Tim's-shirt-and-pattering-after-him-on-toddler-feet Lochlan, always-a-little-too-quiet Lochlan, "I think I could live without any money" Lochlan⸺Lochlan lies limp in his arms. His thrashing has stopped. There's no whimpering, no teeth-chattering. No breathing.

Too late. Too late. They're too fucking late.

His child is silent, motionless, dead.
