empathy, unbidden

very belatedly, for @drarrymicrofic's 'verklempt'

“I can feel everything,” Harry said of the empathy hex. He lay on his back in the isolation cell.

Healer Malfoy, in perfect professionalism, made a note on his clipboard, avoiding Harry’s eyes. It wasn’t enough.

“You love me,” noticed Harry, overwhelmed by the curse-amplified emotion. “You love me.”

Shoutout to incredibly contrived set-ups for kink stories, I respect the grind so much. One time I was frolicking in a field of flowers and I found a fic whose summary started w 'IN A WORLD WHERE THE LOSING ATTORNEY HAS TO SUCK OFF THEIR OPPOSITION' and it's been stuck on my mind ever since

#i choked lmao #nsfw

It’s sad fic hours! I just noticed that most of my short reads are angsty - apparently I love a good punch in the solar plexus but make it quick so I can recover, pls 💀so here’s more 30 recs under 15k if you wanna HURT! Apologies for the lack of commentary this time, I’ve read those MCD fics a long time ago and I can’t handle going through them again. Suffice to say these are all extremely powerful reads, quietly devastating, evocative, with heart-wrenching narratives and perfect characterization. Enjoy!

Keep reading

hi! sorry if you’ve answered this already but can you rec any MCD (drarry) fics? i’m feeling particularly masochistic today :)

Hello anon! I rarely go for MCD nowadays so you probably already know the ones I’m gonna rec, but you can’t go wrong with these:

Beyond the Ken of Maps by Frayach (2012, M, 2.6k)

The final battle is being fought at Malfoy Manor, and Voldemort's forces are winning. Draco is crouched in a corner of what was once his family's grand ballroom wearing his Death Eater robe and mask. He's paralyzed with fear. He knows they'll capture Harry and torture him and that Draco will be forced to watch - or, even worse, participate. He can't bear the thought, but he's too afraid to kill himself. When Harry finds him just minutes before it's too late, Draco asks him for a final token of his love.

The Next Twenty-Four Hours by Saras_Girl (2013, M, 3.3k)

In twenty-four hours, the Ministry will take your life. Until then, I’m all yours.

Still Life by amalin (2003, T, 3.5k)

Post-war. Actually, post-death.

Yours, Draco by @drarrytrash (2015, NR, 3.5k)

All that's left are 15 letters, and then those are gone too.

Last Offices by @tackytigerfic (2020, M, 6.7k)

It didn't seem fair that Malfoy was dead, and Harry was supposed to just keep on living without him. He had lost enough people to know that he probably would keep on going—his stubborn heart was still beating, after all, even though it felt like it was going to break. But first, he had to get through the laying out of the dead—those old Pureblood funeral rites—even if every time he touched Malfoy's too-cold body, he was reminded of how things used to be, and how things might have been.

Nobody's Ever Died Of A Broken Heart by Frayach (2013, E, 10k)

Harry staggers under a burden of grief, trying both to remember and to forget.

The Eighth Tale by @letteredlettered (2012, E, 12k)

Draco Malfoy tries to fix the past, but instead mucks it up some more. For Harry, it all becomes quite clear.

Remember Me, As I Will You by @alpha-exodus (2016, M, 13k)

Two weeks, Harry'd said, two weeks and he'd be done with the assignment. But the longer Draco waits, the harder it is to believe that Harry is going to return alive.

Stop All the Clocks (This Is the Last Time I’m Leaving Without You) by @firethesound (2014, E, 44k)

Living with Draco was difficult; living without him is unbearable. But if there’s one thing Harry learned from the war, it’s that even when one life ends, the rest of the world goes right on living.

Beautiful World by Lissadiane (2002, M, 70k)

Harry finds out he's going to die on his 16th birthday. He embarks on a journey of self-destructive behaviour and drags Draco along for the ride.

Fairy: Hey I didn’t get your name.

Me: Yeah that was on purpose.

Fairy: Oh my god stealing people’s names has been categorized as a war crime for like a hundred years. Do I seem like the kind of fairy that would do war crimes?

Me: Well yes, but that’s just my impression of you personally. Not fairies in general.

Fairy: You’re smarter than I thought.

#i love these

Last year I made a post with all my fave Drarry fics from my first year of fandom. Have my second year wrap up! Listed by Rating and then length. 

RATING: TEEN AND UP AUDIENCES

Beautiful by @xx-thedarklord-xx​​ (2017; 8.9k)

Summary: With the second task looming closer, Harry escapes to the Black Lake to open the egg, in the hopes of avoiding Myrtle. The Mersong isn’t just helpful in figuring out that Mermaids are real, it attracts his very own handsome Merman.

*I didn’t know I love merpeople AUs until I read this one. It was cute and sweet and I’m really glad I read it. 

Hermione Granger’s Hogwarts Crammer for Delinquents on the Run by @waspabi​​ (2017; 93.3k)

Summary: ‘You’re a wizard, Harry’ is easier to hear from a half-giant when you’re eleven, rather than from some kids on a tube platform when you’re seventeen and late for work.

*What can I say. This is a masterpiece, it absolutely entered my heart to never leave it again. Best AU ever!!!

Away Childish Things by @letteredlettered​​ (2018; 153.8k)

Summary: Harry gets de-aged. Malfoy has to help him.

* This has been the turning point of my Drarry passion this year. First, I discovered Lettered (good Lord why hadn’t I before?!) and then, well. This fic brought out so many feelings in me and I’ve already re-read it something like 5 or 6 times in the span of a few months. Amazing.

RATING: MATURE

you’ve got the antidote for me by Kandakicksass (2018; 20.7k)

Summary: 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.He’s never been selfless before, but for Harry, he can try.

* The angst!! It’s usually not my cuppa, but this was bittersweet and just so well written, I couldn’t stop reading. Find the rec for this one at this post.

RATING: EXPLICIT

Keep reading

I 110% believe that after Hermione found out that Ron went to face Aragog in order to save her she made it her life mission to make sure that Ron never has to see another spider again. Spider on Ron's desk? Not after she slams her textbook down on it. Spider crawling on Ron while they hang out on the grass? Not after she flicks it off of him and sends it to Hogsmeade.

i'm very [i love you most ardently] [it's rotten work not to me not if it's you] [i can take care of myself just fine. no. what do you mean no? no] [i can't explain the state that i'm in the state of my heart he was my best friend] [you want to die for love you always have] [you are my sweetest downfall i loved you first] [i should have gone through life half awake if you'd had the decency to leave me alone] [he's more myself than i am, whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same] [he was pointing at the moon but i was looking at his hand] [it was not intended as a compliment. it was a confession] [he is half of my soul, as the poets say]
