Come one, come all, and bring me your recs! The TLC Zone is for giving a little Tender Loving Care to all the things you make -- any medium, any fandom, and any pairing is welcome. Rec yourself, rec a friend, rec an enemy, this is what it's here for! You can reblog this post or make your own, and it doesn't have to be on a Tuesday.
Tagging a few folks to get this rolling: @pennygalleon, @rockingrobin69, @orange-peony, @avenueofesc, @julcheninred, @kittycargo, @nv-md, @thesleepiesthufflepuff, @shealwaysreads, @onbeinganangel, and you, the person reading this.
It's been a while since I've sent one of these around, so I'm doing it today...
This is an invitation to you -- yes, you! -- to self-rec something you've made that you're proud of making. It can be new or old, in any media (fic recs, moodboards, playlists, craft, fic, art, podfic, etc.) are all welcome. Any ship, any fandom, any kind of content is welcome here.
Share something that you're excited about & want a little love on -- and when you see this around, give some love if you can!
Tagging to get this started: @tackytigerfic @shealwaysreads @gryffindorhearts @babooshkart @lou-isfake, @moonflower-rose @the-sinking-ship @fictional @onbeinganangel @shiftylinguini @softlystarstruck @moonstruckwytch @julcheninred @xanthippe74 @sitp-recs @corvuscrowned @isamijoo @fw00shy
PS: This doesn't end on Tuesday -- feel free to jump in at any time, and you don't need a tag to participate.
Come one, come all, and bring me your recs! Happy Tuesday everyone, and I'm so excited to hear about a work of yours. Will you self-rec me something you've made?
Maybe you're extra proud of it, maybe you got an unkind comment on it, maybe it's a little older or an unusual pairing. I want to hear about it! You're also welcome to rec a friend if you prefer, though self-recs are highly encouraged here.
How does this work? Reblog this post with a self-rec and a link to your piece. Everyone is welcome to play along. All ships, all fandoms, all ratings and content, all media (fic, art, podfic, moodboards, playlists, rec lists, so on) are welcome.
You don't need to be tagged to participate, but you're also invited to tag friends to play too if you want. And of course, if you don't want to reblog, you could inbox me or comment with your rec.
Tagging @softlystarstruck, @drarrymybeloved, @somegymnast, @julcheninred, @babooshkart, @gryffindorhearts, @skeptiquewrites, @bubble-gumhead, @p1013, @gallifrey1sburning, @avenueofesc, @wheezykat, @bogglebeans, @aneiria-writes to get us started. Everyone is welcome!
Happy Tuesday, everybody!
Today, I'm thinking about how the middle part of working on something creative can be so difficult -- for me, the beginning is full of fresh energy, and the end has that exciting payoff, but the middle is that moment of wondering: is this story worth telling, or this art worth making? The answer is always yes -- it's yours and no one can make this piece like you can.
So, for this week, I wonder: will you tell me about one of your WIPs? It could be posted, it could be yet to post, it could be long abandoned. Fic, art, podfic, rec lists, moodboards, etc. are all welcome, all fandoms (and original fiction), all ships. (And if your main WIP is an anon project, perhaps you could share a fact or two about your writing process.)
If you're reading this, please tell me about your WIPs! Tagging a few folks to get this moving: @kittycargo, @nutnoce, @fw00shy, @softlystarstruck, @avenueofesc, @tackytigerfic, @maesterchill, @p1013, @orange-peony, @wheezykat, @phenomenalasterisk, @fangqueen, @teacup-tai, and you, lovely person reading this <3
Happy Tuesday! Last week, I asked you all to share your recs and help lift each other up, and you sure did. With over 100+ recs, I'm astonished and honored by this wonderful fandom. In the spirit of this, I've created three reclists based on your suggestions.
As usual, mind the tags + warnings, as I have not yet had the pleasure of reading so many of these wonderful pieces.

Constellation Prize (Drarry) by @andithiel, read by KristinaBird { 2021 | M | 1:15 }
Harry’s been pining for his friend and Auror partner for almost a year. But despite what his friends say, he and Draco aren't an old married couple...Draco has a boyfriend, there's no way he'd ever be interested. Right?
Burn Bright (Drarry) by @skeptiquewrites { 2021 | 50 }

Quicksand (Drarry) by @sky-is-torn { 2021 | 100 }
“Wait, wait,” Draco mumbles, and the words fall in the space between their lips like a wall.
Punctuation (Drarry) by @americanmoths { 2021 | 111 }
Harry doesn’t think in words the way Draco does. He thinks in symbols and feelings, images and flashes of insight too large for language.
Better Than Fighting (Drarry) by @graymatters { 2021 | 117 }
You knew better. Underneath his fiery temper, he did, too.
Only a Fix (Drarry) by @wheezykat { 2021 | E | 152 }
Draco indulges in a forbidden fantasy - one that Harry is unaware of.
Sunset (Drarry) by @fw00shy { 2021 | 154 }

Rapt over the Deep, Impelled by Love (Drarry) by @kryptidfoxwrites { 2021 | T | 192 }
They lay on a pile of soft pelts, and Draco feels warmer in Harry’s arms than he thinks he should, naked under an enchanted sky in a kingdom of caverns.
Sweat Equity (Drarry) by @jackvbriefs { 2021 | G | 193 }
Before building their home, the ground must be blessed.
Blush (Drarry) by @floydig { 2021 | 226 }
It was so goddamn hot out, Harry wanted to rip his clothes off and burn away. But this was Vernon’s funeral, and that would be inappropriate.
Luna (Drarry) by @graymatters { 2021 | 234 }
“Tell me about him.” Draco sears the words into Harry’s chest and nips at the paper-thin skin of his hip bone…
Road Trip (Drarry) by @xanthippe74 { 2021 | 271 }
“I think we should go on a road trip…”
💙 Irreedeemer (Drarry) by @jackvbriefs { 2020 | T | 334 }
That night, and most of them since, Draco takes Harry to bed piece by piece, a ritual unveiling, a mapping of skin by hands and mouth.
AKA the one where Draco plays violin.
💙 Sometimes, You Remember (Drarry) by @erebeus-roxy { 2020 | M | 339 }
In the dead of the night, in the dead's domain, sometimes you remember a past aflame.
Desiderium (Drarry) by @Andithiel { 2021 | M | 444 }

Dangerous (Drarry) by @dracothecupcake { 2021 | 619 }
The docks on Sedna are coated in nameless yellowed dust. It billows out around the Phoenix when he lands...
devil like me (Drarry) by @wheezykat { 2021 | T | 712 }
Draco deserves what he gets. But Potter shows up at his trial, and it's not what he expects.
The Morning (Drarry) by @lou-isfake { 2021 | T | 713 }

✨ night (Deamus) by @onbeinganangel { 2021 | E | 999 }
Dean had convinced himself Seamus was the one that got away. Things were hard, after the War, and people went their own ways. He did not expect to bump into Seamus at a bar in Hamburg, three years after they’d said their goodbyes.
Today’s Tuesday, and should be a “Try Something Tuesday,” but I’ve been a bit overwhelmed this week, so I’m wondering if you all will help me spread the love. I’ll challenge you to send a message to a creator you love, to pull out a fic or art or post that you made and proudly self-promote it, or to leave an extra comment or kudos or like somewhere around fandom today. Tag me in it if you share it here so I can help share the love too! Happy Tuesday! ✨🌟
Happy happy Tuesday! Today's a great day to spread some love for our favorite fics. I've been thinking about the two cake theory, and how one of the great joys of fandom is that we can keep creating new things from the same tropes.
So, I'm wondering - what are your favorite tropes, and what tropes have you written or created art and podfics and moodboards for or made rec lists about? Rec me something of yours, and/or something of a friend's!
As usual, all tropes, all ships, all fandoms are invited. You're welcome to share even if you aren't tagged. And feel free to answer any day of the week, not just Tuesdays.
Tagging @avenueofesc, @julcheninred, @dracothecupcake, @lou-isfake, @primavera-cerezos, @shealwaysreads, @thesleepiesthufflepuff, @uphorie, @sitp-recs, @pineau-noir, @floydig, @amortentiaboys, @americanmoths, and @hogwartsfirebolt to get us started, though no pressure!
