A while ago some cosmic waves brought a rare pair into my thoughts. Gregory Goyle/Scorpius Malfoy. According to archive of our own there was only one person back in 2015 who had published that pairing, and it's very different to the scenarios that had unfold in my brain. I haven't looked on Tumblr yet.
Mine is... well... it is a little bit kinky (maybe), it's Scorpius-indulgent, it's a little bit starstruck lovers if you squint, mutual attraction but no love for life, it's coping and healing, it has positive sex-work(er), it has a sense for healthy relationships, it has closure and walking forward, it has an uncreative end pairing 😂 oh it has past dead Draco 😿 and minor past/maybe unrequited Drarry if you squint really hard, there is a long way back past one-sided not that serious Gregory/Draco that has almost no none impact at all (at least no hard) on anything happening in the present.
Harry Potter world is about to get a little more complicated… and a lot more intense.
Introducing HPAGEGAP Fest — an 18+ Harry Potter fandom fanwork event dedicated to celebrating love that transcends years, eras, and expectations.
From the Marauders Era to the Next Generation, this fest invites creators to dive into relationships shaped by significant age differences. We want connections defying convention!
What counts as an age gap?
At least 10 years between the characters
Main ships may involve characters of any age (including underage characters), as long as the age gap requirement is met
Aging characters up or down is absolutely allowed — and encouraged
All pairings. All interpretations.
Canon-compliant or wildly divergent, soft or dark, blissful or doomed — if it explores how age shapes romance between Harry Potter characters of your choosing, it belongs here.

You know that at Draco Tops Harry we LOVE podfics. If you have a FIC you’d like to prompt to be created into a podfic - please USE THIS LINK and we will have a SEPARATE LIST of PODFIC prompts.
If you would like to rec a fic for podfic that you, yourself, did not write - you must get permission from the author or show proof that the author is “OK” with their fic being turned into a PODFIC. (Then, you can fill out the form providing proof that permission has been granted.) If you have any questions, mail us at [email protected] or leave a comment on the PODFIC FORM - it’s fairly easy to follow.
Leave all the top!Draco/bottom!Harry prompts you can think of ♥ ♥ ♥
I’m just saying that the HP filmmakers were absolutely INSANE for that parallel of young Severus enchanting something inanimate to fly toward Lily - his love interest - in the field as a gesture of affection, and Draco enchanting something inanimate to fly toward Harry - his, well, his something - in the classroom for “ambiguous” reasons.
Claiming for HP Kintsugi Fest is open!
Reminder that there are no limits to how many times a prompt can be claimed, so you don't have to worry about the prompts being 'taken'

The AO3 collection will be open for posting Oct 15-Dec 15. If you also post on Tumblr, please tag us @hpsnooze so we can reblog!
💤 Rules
MUST FEATURE SLEEPING in some way, shape, or form.
Participants should be 18+.
All HP characters, ships, content, and ratings welcome. Please tag accordingly.
All mediums welcome including fic, art, craft, podfic, etc.
Oneshots, multi-chapters, WIPs, and sequels/prequels are all welcome.
For the record, “DON’T KILL HIM!” - Draco’s yell when Harry is being attacked, caps lock and all - is not the kind of thing an ordinary bully screams when someone they despise is in danger, it’s more like the kind of thing that … you know … a person in love screams when the object of their affections is in danger. That’s just a fact.
If I recall he also tells Crabbe to stop when Crabbe shoots Harry the Crucio... with the excuse that "the Dark Lord wants him alive" but as Crabbe points out, he wasn't killing him. Imagine if Draco's intention all along was to lose Crabbe and Goyle, grab Harry, and whisk him off to safety… but of course like all his plans, it went pear-shaped...
You've had Drarry...
Yes but what about Ronarry
You've had Dron...
Yes but what about... Dronarry!
That's right folks, we're back again for another incredible year of Draco, Ron, and Harry goodness. And boy are we mods excited!!

Dronarry Fest is a fic and art fest specifically dedicated to the characters of Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter, either as a triad (Dronarry) or as pairs (Drarry, Dron, Ronarry).

Prompting
Prompting Opens October 11th
Prompting Closes November 1st
You may submit as many prompts as you like, either using your name or anonymously.
You do not have to be creating in the fest to send in a prompt.
Please include any extra prompt details you would love to see incorporated (e.g. a favourite trope).
If you wish to, please include a maximum rating (e.g. Explicit) and any squicks or triggers (e.g. MCD).
Please note that any prompt details, including wished-for tropes or ratings, are for inspiration only, and creators are not obligated to fulfil all of your desired wishes. Proof-readers will check every submitted creation to ensure none of the prompter’s stated squicks have been included. If a submitted creation includes the prompter’s squicks, the creator may be asked to remove them before the piece is approved for posting.
Remember that this is a Dronarry fest, and all ship requests must include Dronarry, Dron, Drarry, and/or Ronarry. No other ships are permitted unless they are minor.
We allow self-prompting. You may submit your desired prompt and then take your chance claiming it (with the risk that someone else may snatch it up before you), or you can fill in the special box for self-prompts once claiming opens.
Prompts will be available for browsing once claiming opens.
Claiming
Claiming Starts November 2nd at 5pm GMT
Claiming Closes: February 7th at 5pm GMT
This is an 18+ fest. Please do not sign up if you are under the age of 18 at the time of submission (February 22nd 2026).
You may only claim one prompt at a time. If you finish your prompt, you may claim an additional prompt, but you must submit your first prompt as per submission guidelines first.
Claims will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.
You may claim for different fanwork types at the same time, either as an individual or as a collaboration (e.g. art + fic).
Collaborations are welcome! Please only submit one form per collaboration work and include details of all participants. Collabs can be illustrated fics, multi-author fics, multi-artists artworks, etc.
If you wish to create based on an existing fanwork, please submit as a self-prompt. You must ask for the original creator’s permission before submitting. We will trust you to honour this and only ask for proof in case issues arise. As proof we would expect written consent, or a blanket permission statement from the original creator either as a link or screencap.
You can browse blanket permission statements of creators here: https://www.fpslist.org/
Creating
All creations must feature either: Dronarry (Draco/Ron/Harry), Drarry (Draco/Harry), Dron (Draco/Ron), or Ronarry (Ron/Harry), or a mixture of the listed ships. Any other ships must be minor.
All creations must feature Draco, Ron, and Harry as main characters.
Minimum of 1k for fics, with no maximum wordcount. For podfics, the recorded story should be a minimum of 1k words, no maximum.
Dronarry Fest will not accept works (fic, art, podfic, or otherwise) created by or with the assistance of AI. This includes works which have been edited or proofread by Chat GPT.
All fics must be proofread by a beta. Podfics must be proofed before submission. If you do not have a beta, please contact the mods ([email protected]) or send us an ask and we can put a call out for a beta for you.
Please tag your works appropriately and sensitively. We want this to be a fest for everyone to feel safe and included and that means being mindful with your warning tags. If you’re not sure about how to tag something, please let the mods know and we can help. Please also note that we reserve the right to review your tags and add any additional tags to your works. We will always let you know what these tags are.
This is a non-anonymous fest, so feel free to share snippets of your work in the run up to posting!
Submissions must be complete works created for Dronarry Fest. Please do not submit incomplete works or works that are part of a series or a prequel/sequel to an existing work, unless it is a remix.
We encourage you to be inspired by your prompts’ additional details, but it is not a requirement to incorporate them into your creation. Please tag your work appropriately.
Submitting
Submissions Due February 22nd
All works must be submitted to the AO3 collection: Dronarry Fest 2026. If you do not have an AO3 account, please contact the mods.
You are required to add dronarry_mods as a co-creator when uploading your creation. This is so that we can change the posting date, check the submission, and add a tag for Dronarry Fest 2026.

FAQs
Are other ships allowed?
Theoretically, yes, but they must be minor. Dronarry, Drarry, Dron and/or Ronarry must be the main pairing and focus of your work. You can pair Draco, Ron, and/or Harry with other characters, but these must be background relationships and the story must be centred around one or more of the ships listed above.
Is this an 18+ fest?
Yes, this fest is only open to creators over the age of 18 at time of submission (February 22nd 2026).
