What are your favorite drarry fics?
oh. ooooooooooooh oh oh.
here are my staples:
draco, the magic dragon - libbydrew a fic i first read on livejournal (showing off the varnish of my casket here) that i thought about regularly for the almost two decades i fell out of fandom. canon to me tbh. libby invented my draco rubric: proud lil showboat even when everything around him has gone to rancid shit, sarcastic and aloof personality as a poor facade to distract from the big ol' gaping well of hurt.
Potter took a great breath, then let it out slowly – a low whistle between his teeth. "Malfoy, I had no idea. I thought—" "Why are you here?" Draco cut him off before the idiot embarrassed them both. Their shared past was water under the bridge – even if Draco had drowned in it.
nightingale - michi_the_killer
another back-in-my-day fav, even though i can only stand to read half of it. actually even thinking about it is making me stare off in a distance for upwards of three minutes. this one i would hand off wrapped in about a million miles of caution tape. + also a huge fan of michi's gory veela fic.
It was better than fighting, Harry thought, although sometimes he still wanted to rip into Malfoy, to hurt him. Other days, he thought, it was better than anything.
rookie moves - peu_a_peu
what can i say that hasn't already been said - peu is a MASTER. if you somehow know who i am but haven't read this, reassess your life choices through professional means but not until after you read this.
“Feels kinda big,” Malfoy said, smirking. “For a guy your height.” “My height is average,” Harry said, although he was undeniably glaring upward at Malfoy’s face when they stood so close together. “And it is kinda big.”
stately homes of wiltshire - waspabi another one that crept into my heart and made a home. hard to choose between this and waspabi's other drarry fic, but there's something about the decrepit manor is suppose that just does it for me. a perfect harry and draco, perfect soft reaching towards each other.
Draco smiled and dragged Potter from the shop before he could charm any more elderly ladies with his unkept, take-care-of-me-I’m-confused-and-have-nice-shoulders aesthetic. Once outside in the drizzle, he realised he still had his hand around Potter’s forearm. He yanked his hand back immediately.
i wake up falling - warmfoothills
warmfoothills :,) just reading this moniker makes me vision go soft around the edges. their writing has made me out loud, quietly say "oh," multiple times. the prose is darling, this story is such a brief, aching glance. it was also really hard to pick just one (flashback, warm nights i also go in for).
“I love you,” he says, unable to stop himself. Draco blinks, a barely-there flinch, like Harry’s taken a swing at him. “I know,” he says, still oblivious to the reference, oblivious to the way his words scoop right into the meat of Harry’s stupid, hopeful heart. “It’s not enough, is it?” Draco shakes his head. Above, the stars watch unfeelingly on.
the pure and simple truth - lettered no one does dialogue with the mastery lettered does. my GOD. my god. i feel like this fic is drarry perfectly distilled.
“What’s he going to be?” Blaise raised a brow. “Pardon?” “You said he says Hermione should be Minister, and all those other things. "What does Malfoy think he should be?” There was something much like pity in Blaise’s eyes. “He thinks he should never, ever be forgiven for the things he’s done.” Harry felt ill. “That’s not fair.” “When has Draco ever been fair?” “I meant―” Harry swallowed hard. “That’s not right.” Blaise looked more pitying still. “When has Draco ever been right?”
far from the tree - aideomai
the writer i avoid talking about the most bc once i start i cannot physically restrain myself from going on about their beauty forever. i sat for forty-five solid minutes frowning, trying to choose between this one and in the hand. and dwelling. okay anyway. i keep a doc of quotes from fics that resonate and it's 50% aideomai.
Draco wondered what Potter thought of this day, in the future the twins came from. If he had told Ginny about it. If he had forgotten it. He couldn’t forget it, could he? It felt burned into Draco’s body already, a final point that he had been moving toward for years without knowing.
i could go on but i think seven is a nice solid number tyvm for this ask!

I’ve had enough trouble for a lifetime.
Harry James Potter through the ages (16, 21, 27) in my sketches. What’s your favorite? :)
You articulated a profound truth about our shared community, and it’s the reason why it’s just so beautiful to take part, or simply be part of it. Thank YOU for the works you share with us. Five years, ackkk!!! I cannot be coherent enough, but please have this. It’s me with Wield Me, and all the works you’ve written that I’ve read so far.
“Email: [AO3] tackytiger posted Wield Me”
The moment i received this email, I just knew that I will be allotting a very specific, nonnegotiable time to lie down and read.
That scene. When Draco thought of the way Harry and Teddy looked at the archway and realized what their mission is. Harry and Draco’s something. That part. Harry. Teddy. Draco’s thoughts. His work. Harry’s leg. How I suddenly had a newfound appreciation for blacksmithing, so artful and intricately described, and other things I wanted to mention, which, by the way, is everything.
Okay. Deep, deep, inhale.
Wield Me is so, so, vivid. I felt cold water run down my spine at the atmosphere and how it flowed so phenomenally. I’m not in the slightest bit kidding when I say I ugly sobbed all the way through. After reading the last word, I slumped, and stared blankly at the wall as I felt all the tugging in my chest. I just can’t believe I’ve read something so divine. Thank you.
P.S. I hope you feel better with each and every day!
Dear @kk1smet, what a delight it was to get this ask. I think many fic writers would agree that one of the nicest things is hearing not just that someone liked their fic, but what they liked about it. it always gives me such a thrill, even now, nearly five years after i wrote my first ever fic (five!!! how???) because it reminds me that fandom is part of a wider tradition of storytelling within a community, of sharing and of giving. to get to chat to people who love these guys as much as i do, and to feel part of something that's more than just me at a laptop writing for myself. plus, a comment like this lets me get to know you a bit more, and find out what makes you tick, and i love that!
truly, i never expect comments, and I never want anyone to feel under pressure to leave a comment. but that just means that when i do get a comment like this, it comes as the most beautiful and thrilling surprise. thank you so much for taking the time to send this, and for all the wonderful art you gift us with.
before I desided to draw smth with naruto I was drawing a little series with drarry and porn hands, there’re my fav pics from it, maybe I’ll finish it lateeeer
me, after any minor inconvenience: the first thing that happened was theodore nott came back from france
*sees my mutuals logged on at the same time* ugh WHAT a day. Thank god you’re here. *doesn’t interact with them in any shape or form*
SCREAMING.
Thank you, Liv @sitp-recs for tagging @the-sinking-ship !! My heart swells to know you liked this. And no, YOU, and your works are incredible (an understatement).
And, I just have to share the initial idea. When I was looking for references, I saw this and had to whip it up, but I knew I wanted to try and somehow project the perfect way you have always written them. So. There’s.. this, and perhaps some more, the brainrot that I share with everyone who read NMTB.
I recently finished Never Mind the Bollocks by The_Sinking_Ship. Since that day, it has been living in my head rent-free, and will remain there. Perhaps for a long, long time.
Every time I try to collect my thoughts to articulate every single thing I loved about a fic, I just end up screaming and dying with the feels. So instead of words, here’s some drawn lines (and more screaming).
long awaited drarry
yeah this drawing killed me in so many ways but it's finally done!! i've had this idea for sooo long but i only found a relevant reference just recently
they're everything to me<3
This is the look of someone who knows he can extinguish any fire but IS also the fire
@kk1smet asked, thou shall receive 💅🏻✨
I must press this is a WIP and I am going to post it unfinished because I’ve been successfully sitting on it for nearly five months because there’s something bugging me about this but I don’t know what and I’m afraid if I say to myself that I will finish it I will sit on it forever so I’m just gonna go ahead and release him from my WIP jail and let him roam free
I’ve been unknowingly edging @emsuemsu for months and I’m truly and deeply sorry about that 🫡
Also special thank you for my bestie @sarxzu for building this AU with me and always listening to my insane rants about my blorbos and always hyping me up and helping me out with her amazing ideas❣️
it’s k and i kinda draw art on ao3 | sketches here and on twthink it’s a faulty askbox
