happy birthday to harry james potter hereās some reasons why he always has been and always will be one of my favorite characters in all of fiction:
was treated like garbage his entire childhood and still has an inexhaustible capacity for love and forgiveness
u can talk shit abt him but if u talk shit abt his friends heāll launch a brutal verbal tirade against u
god tier sense of humor. sarcasm level 100 never misses
bravest boy on earth??? this kid found out he had to DIE to get rid of some crazy ass evil dictator and literally walked stone cold to his own death to save everyone else??
letās not forget he liked his lightning scar at first before he found out what it rly was :( he thought it was cool :(
unheard of emotional maturity for a teenager. instantly understood that ron was insecure abt being the youngest boy in his family and not having a lot of money and always tried to find ways to make him feel better abt it
had cute lil daydreams abt being the triwizard champion before he got forced into it for real
UNmatched bisexual energy, literally always sizing everyone up and declaring them attractive or monstrous, no in between
so so humble abt his talents and abilities yes but also SO arrogant abt his moral code. he said my moral compass is the correct one and i will follow that and ur rules and laws can truly eat my ass and honestly thatās so sexy of him
animals always like him š
literally BORN to wield power and not abuse it. boy destroyed the elder wand bc he liked his old one better
drinks his respect women juice every morning and every night before bed rmr when he got so righteously offended that hermione suggested he thought the prince couldnāt be a woman bc he didnāt think a woman could be that smart
also rmr when he choked out mundungus for stealing shit from grimmauld djebfjnwbfne
literally so stubborn that the imperius curse barely works on him lmaoooo
successfully used crucio to defend mcgonagallās honor like?? ok king go off!!
just the best boy in the whole world. thatās all
ok wait also offered to help luna find her shoes AND invited her to slughornās party bc heās too socially awkward and lowkey hard to please that he didnāt wanna ask some rando and thought luna deserved to have a fun night
HELLOOOOO saves dracoās LIFE in the ror even tho he relentlessly tormented him for 6 years previously
rmr how he offered voldemort a chance at redemption through remorse HDNSBDNWBDJ likeā¦ā¦.wow. the bde is off the charts here
canāt believe i forgot to add youngest seeker in a century. damn hazzy chill!!!!
My husbandās job primarily employs adult men but there is one (1) teenage girl and my husband said originally he worried she might be a bit of an outcast but instead every man on the crew was like āhuh guess I am a dad/older brother now.ā
She was in a car crash on the way to work one morning and called my husband to let him know sheād be late and he was like wtf guess Iām gonna be late too because Iām coming to pick you up and then he told his team and they were like I think you mean WE are coming.
Imagine you are a teenage girl probably rushing to get to work and you crash your probably new car and feel absolutely miserable and now youāll be late to work but then suddenly in the distance a car full of all the adult men you work with just pulls up and is likeĀ āwe came all the way here to pick you upā the mental image right now is fr.
Apparently she tried to call her dad but it was 3am and he was obviously sleeping so she called my husband and he not only came to find her but fished her glasses out of the hood of the car (sheād dropped them while looking inside), drove her to the hospital, and told her to take the day off. She insisted on coming back to work so he used his lunch break to watch TV with her to make sure she didnāt doze off (concussion risk).
Youāve heard of the Mom friend but my husband is very much the Dad friend. He said when he answered the phone she said āhey please donāt be madā and heās never felt such powerful Fatherhood energy in his life.
#my wants are simple#but my dislikes are many and complex#but Iāll begrudgingly read fics I ignored after getting through the tags#and whaddya know I was right I didnt like themĀ (x)
hello all!! hope you had a good first week of august :) i reread quite a few fics, trawled the trans drarry tags on ao3, and read some wireless fics! let me know what yāall have been reading or if yāall love any of these fics too š short & sweet, pocket-sized, and non-drarry are under the cut!
Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm ā ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war... with Draco Malfoy.
why i rec this: okay. okay. i was talking with starry about bond fics and they were like āhave you read this one?ā so obviously i read it immediately in one day because it is SO. GOOD. the emotional stakes are high from the beginning, and this may be one of my favorite complex harry narrations ive ever read. i donāt know how to be more coherent about this but! absolutely recommend this gorgeous story

Bond by AnnaFugazzi [M, 173k]
Harry swam back into awareness, finally focussing on something. The ceiling. The very familiar ceiling of... the hospital wing. Damn, not again, was his first thought. How did it happen this time? was his second.
Harry and Draco are just friends. Sure, they work together, and live together, and go to gigs together, and do pretty much everything else togetherāso what? Thatās just what friends do. [H/D Wireless 2021]
Makes Me Stronger by Lomonaaeren [E, 28k]
Rita Skeeterās Harry James Potter: An Unnatural History is a best-seller, mostly due to the fact that Skeeterās collaborated with a photographer whoās infused the pictures in the book with Harryās actual memories. As Harry struggles to survive the storm consuming his eighth year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy becomes an unexpected ally.
The Fortunate Fall by Lomonaaeren [M, 28k]
Draco's sure he suffered an irreplaceable loss at the end of the war. Harry's not.
Years ago, Harry Potter disappeared from the Wizarding World. When Draco spots him at a club in Muggle London, well, he just can't resist the opportunity that presents itself.
The Ministry didnāt turn bad overnight. Harry didnāt suddenly turn rogue either. Between covert Legilimency links and Polyjuice disguises and running and running and running, Draco has forgotten what it is like to have a safe harbor that isnāt a person. If thereās an art to fighting back, then theyāll find it hand in hand. [H/D Wireless 2021]
When Harry Potter unintentionally severs their soulbond before it can fully form, Draco Malfoy resigns himself to a slow death and decides not to burden Harry with a soulmate he's made it very clear he doesn't want.

Something finally comes of Harry's embarrassing crush on Malfoy. (Well, two somethings. Someones. Whatever. Also all of Harry's friends are terrible.)
There Be Dragons by Miya_Morana [M, 4.5k] š³ļøāā§ļø
Harry has been Draco's friend since they were 11 years old, the keeper of his secret, and his best ally. This is the story of how Draco became who he was always meant to be.
Harry figured he'd never see Draco Malfoy again after their disastrous not-a-relationship-no-really-Hermione ended after Eighth Year, but Harry's never been lucky, so naturally it's Head Healer Malfoy who's swanning all over Harry's emergency department, looking all pale and accomplished and competent as he sneers down at Harry's systems and processes. Meanwhile, what about that fit bloke at the gym...?
Life had been hectic for both of them lately, and Harry was looking forward to a quiet evening at home. Having a romantic dinner on the balcony of their flat sounded like just the thing.
Exclsuive. Tranquil. Deadly. by @mystickitten42 [E, 2.1k]
Harry takes his overworked husband to Silver Sands, a luxurious and exclusive wizarding resort situated on a remote tropical island. They get more than they bargained for.
Draco does what he wants, when he wants. Even on Harryās birthday. Luckily enough, their wants align.
I Hear You (Loud and Clear) by phdmama [E, 1.8k] š„
Harry absolutely does not mean for it to happen. Heās lying in his bed under the invisibility cloak. Heās not doing anything, which is probably part of the problem. Heās just lying there, trying to find the energy to get up and doā¦ something. It doesnāt matter what.
Sleepless by Saras_girl [M, 1.7k]
Harry canāt settle, and Draco is lost in the desert. Again. Possibly.

A-Team by @hogwartstoalexandria [E, 1.1k] š„š³ļøāā§ļø
It wasn't even anything special Draco did or said, it was just that Harry found himself, not for the first time nor, if he had to guess, the last, consumed by the need to make his husband come undone.
He's going to save the Wizarding world again (again!). I'll hold him when he aches from it and wash away the blood. I'll tell him he's still a good man even if I don't believe it.

Draco rarely felt as free as he did when he swam in the ocean.
Anotherās Life by @p1013 [M, 508]
It clings to every corner, nestles into every crack and crevice it can find. There's plenty of them in the rubble that's left of the illegal potion's laboratory, and as Harry picks his way across the remains of the building carefully, his hands come away stained black with ash.
That one time Ron attended Harry's party and didn't enjoy it at all by @melcalder [E, 8.5k, ron/blaise with background drarry] š„
After his "break-up" with Hermione, Ron crashes at Harry's place and has to attend one of Harry's parties. He doesn't enjoy it all that much, until he does...
