Summary:

In 2004, when Remus spends two scary weeks in the ITU due to complications of pneumonia and his HIV condition, Sirius walks around the house like a ghost and Harry finds comfort and strength in Draco through a chat in an online LGBT forum. Harry falls for him, but Draco has a lot of secrets and, before long, will need to come clean—even if he believes that no one is able to understand a dragon.

This is a story about falling in love online and about facing the reality of death, but above all, this is a story about hope, finding love and acceptance. (Non-magical / bookshop AU, written for the 25 days of Drarry 2020)

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭*⁺˚. * ･｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

“When we met in the forum, I was hopeless,” he goes on, fingers holding tight now. “I thought no one would ever love me or care for me anymore. But then you were there, talking about your godfather Moony, about how scared you were of losing him,” Draco’s voice waivers a bit. He takes a shaky breath. “About how much you loved him, even though—”

His voice catches in the back of his throat and Harry holds his hand tighter, pulling him in back here, now, in the car, in his hands.

“Even though he is HIV-positive.” Draco says.

He takes a long breath.

Harry wonders. And maybe—

“I met you when my head was still full of prejudices and myths and fear and I was so bloody afraid of being lonely, Harry.”

Harry sees Draco’s face transforming in front of him, and there’s this deep sadness that always accompanied Draco from the moment Harry met him. But this time, Harry can see it with his own eyes, how Draco’s eyes look sorrowful and cold and scared and lost.

So bloody lost.

“Harry, I’m...I-I’m—” His lips tremble and his eyes go wet and Harry watches transfixed as a tear slides down Draco’s cheek and he shuts his eyes firmly.

Lost.

Afraid.

Full of self-loathing.

Scared of not being loved.

And it clicks.

Because Harry has lived his whole life surrounded by different kinds of people with these same struggles and fears. He was raised by a man that fought everyday against the constant disgust and discrimination thrown at him.

Harry watched first-hand how slurs and offences were spat at Remus, how his own teachers have been concerned sometimes about Harry being raised by a HIV-positive gay man.

He wonders how he hasn’t noticed before.

Draco’s eyes are closed, his lips pressed in a tight line and his shoulders shaking lightly.

Harry sees him. Truly. For who he is, for the fears he has, for the life he’s been grieving after for all these months.

He understands, finally. Even without the words being said.

But he needs to hear it.

Harry moves, taking Draco’s face in both his hands, drying the tears with the pads of his thumbs and coaching Draco’s face up.

“Look at me, Draco,” he asks with a gentle voice. “ Please , look at my bright green eyes and say it. Trust me,” Harry pleads.

Draco’s eyes open—they look strikingly bright. He licks his lips and sniffs softly. He lifts his hands and takes hold of Harry’s wrists—not aggressively, not to move him away, just holding on, holding still, keeping himself grounded.

Draco takes a deep shaky breath. The rims of his eyes are damp and reddened. He blinks twice and then looks at Harry firmly, his hold on Harry’s wrists goes tighter. His jaw works and he swallows, licking his lips softly.

(*reccers note - there is a spoiler from the fic under the cut. I often post the Drarry first kiss as my recs. I don’t think this takes away from the fic at all. You may feel differently. If you decide to read further that is your choice.)

“I’m HIV-positive, Harry.”

Draco’s voice is not shaking this time. It’s clear and louder than before. Resolute.

Harry nods, feeling resolute himself.

“Thanks for telling me, Draco.” His voice doesn’t waiver either.

Their gaze holds, with intense emotion and spoken truth.

And Harry understands.

The low self-esteem.

The depression.

The weight loss.

The pain.

The shame.

The sadness.

The fears.

The lies .

Harry really understands.

“Draco, I’m going to kiss you now,” Harry warns, a second before he moves forward and presses their lips together.

fic rec friday 54

hello and welcome to fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

all i want for christmas by tusslee

“Listen,” Lance squeezes Keith’s fingers in his hands, “I’m as bad at this as you probably are and this is going to be really cheesy, but that’s the way I was raised and I know I act like an idiot around pretty girls, but I’m an even bigger idiot around you. Go ahead and try to guess why that is. No, actually don't do that."

this one is gonna be an xmas special!! even though im writing this before halloween lol. anyways. this was so cute!! lance being all stressed about what he should get keith bc he's all in love w him any everything. so real.

2. You're Here (Where You Should Be) by @blue-wanderer

"And if you’re worried about the cameras just take care of them.” “Take care—! Take care of them? With what, Keith?” “I don’t know?” Keith asks, busily testing his foothold in the gate and generally ignoring the rising storm cloud of ire behind him. “With a gun?” “A gun? This isn’t some sort of black ops storming an enemy base thing! This is a Christmas tree thing!” “I don’t see a difference? You’re the sharpshooter. Shoot out the cameras.” “Let me just pull a gun out of my ass, Keith!” “OK, problem solved,” Keith agrees, taking another step up the gate. “Nothing is solved you dumb country space redneck!”

Or Keith and Lance may be disasters at decorating, but Christmas still manages to work its magic on them.

i bookmarked this like a year ago and let me tell you all i needed to hear was dumb country space redneck and i was hooked 😭😭 and it lived up to the name fr. hate the canon ending? want lance to not be a farmer while still acknowledging his struggles with homesickness? want some whipped keith and meddlesome kosmo? want some cheesy xmas feels? click ahead!

3. make my wish come true by angelbolt

“A world where one has to fight for custody of one’s boyfriend is a godless one,” Lance muttered, slumping so he was leaning against Hunk. Shiro exchanged some final words with Kolivan before the screen blipped out. Ah yes, the ideal Christmas Eve: long boring talks and war meetings. Wonderful. ❆❅❆ keith comes home for christmas.

fun game idea: take a shot every time you see a klance xmas fic with a mariah carey lyric. lol. ANYWAYS yall know me and established relationship + early season dynamics!! i am obsessed!! and this fic delivers!! grumpy lance pov who just wants the rest of the world to fuck off for a couple days so he can have his bf around. he's such a voice of the people

4. i'll be home for christmas by @thespacenico

A severe bout of winter weather threatens to stop Shiro from making it home for his first Christmas with Keith. Shiro is ready to do whatever it takes to keep his promise.

okay this one is from darcy's i've got you brother, which i am obsessed with and have cried over several times, and which just recently updated! this fic is so cute and a adashi with young keith always fucking gets to me, man. they're just so. shiro being so desperately determined to keep his promise to young keith who has had so many promises broken that he doesnt even expect shiro to try. but is happy that he does. sobbing.

5. the greatest gift of all by dumpsterdiva

Keith’s mouth hung open for a few seconds before he stammered, “D-do you really mean that?” Lance looked a bit sheepish as he said, “I… It’s crazy, right? I mean, it’s way too soon. You know I was kidding.” Keith straightened up. “Well, I’m not. Marry me.” “What?!” “You heard me, you coward. Marry me.” “That’s the worst proposal ever!” “Worse than you threatening me with marriage so I would stop talking about how amazing you are?”

YOU GUYS KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT PROPOSAL FICS. i feel ksjbskdbqjdbqwlwd about them. okay. and throw in a christmas setting??? and banter?? and a MODERN AU?? i am doing my best, people. this fic had me shoving a pillow into my face and screaming.

that’s it for today!! happy holidays! merry christmas!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

for the positivity, can you tell us about some of your favourite followers?

YAY!!! I’d love to tell you about my four biggest followers (over the past 3 days)

@bowtiesandbowtruckles - one of my first followers that I didn’t know from discord, or from reading their works on A03. And seriously, Mel is just super supportive of the fandom. I smile every time I see her name cross my activity or my dash because her reblogs are on point, and I love that she’s happy with the content I’m spewing. Thank you so much for all of your support, darling. It means the world to me.

@dewitty1 - I met Carey on discord back when I just started writing, and we talked about drarry life. Now we talk almost every day about real life and fics we’ve read and what’s going on, and it’s such a bright spot for me. Plus she has these amazing fic rec lists that fill up my bookmarks and my kindle with delightful and hot works, and her comments on my fics always make me squeal. All the hearts, my friend!

@breathofmine - I cannot begin to say how much Tsun has changed my life.

Because I knew you, I have been changed for good

@fantom-ftnoise - my precious sunflower, I love Fan for every petal. She is such a positive, precious, supportive, hilarious, amazing bean. May we grow together in the garden of fucking on Ministry Time TM.

Thank you for the ask and letting me squeal positivity this morning nonny!

#not drarry #keyflight has friends #can you believe it?#what did i do to deserve these beautiful beans?

So I’m at my sister’s bday party which I’m not.... really loving because I’m not into the club scene. But I opened your fic to read the last chapter and wtf man I’m literally crying in the club. I’ve just recently got into hockey rpf and Jonny/Pat are my favorite pairing- you write some of the best stories I’ve read about that pair! Also do you have an fic recommendations for a new hockey rpf fan?

Aaaaah, first of all, that is amazing. I’m so happy this story was able to bring you to tears in the middle of a club. I hope your sister knows how awesome her party ended up being. :D

Second, I am so happy that you’ve found this fandom! I have SO MANY RECOMMENDATIONS – so many, in fact, that I’m going to list them after the break, because I got a little carried away. (Maybe more than a little. There’s...a lot to choose from.)

Jonny/Patrick

A classic, the pairing that defined this fandom, my all-time favorite. I personally love writing them because of the depth that’s been given their characters across the massive amounts of stories out there. Not that I need to sell you on them. :) Here are a few of my faves, though it’s so hard to choose:

Learning Curve by demotu – I’m not digging deep here. Everything by demotu is awesome, and everyone knows it. :) I was torn between this one and Tympani, so you should read both if you haven’t already, and also just, you know, everything.

Prise de Fer by altri_uccelli – definitely read everything by her (especially the Walls ‘verse/remix and Just Maybe), but this one I keep coming back to. I didn’t think I was particularly into Regency AUs until this story, and yet!

This Heart Is Not For Wasting by fourfreedoms – and, you know, most things by fourfreedoms. There’s a trend emerging here.

Bye Bye Blackhawk by jedusaur – apparently I’m a total sucker for Patrick Kane not being a hockey player and then BEING A SURPRISE AMAZING HOCKEY PLAYER. See also: Patrick 'Showtime’ Kane.

a light-handed approach to regulation by hazel – one of the first a/b/o fics I loved and still one of my favorites. Again, shockingly, hazel is someone it’s worth reading a lot of.

I’ve Got a Feeling (Hope You’re Feeling It Too) by aohatsu – such good werewolves! And aohatsu is awesome and you should read Learning As We Go and 22 also everything else by her, too.

I Got a Love (That Keeps Me Waiting) by svmadelyn – sigh, I’m super not digging deep here, because so many of these are the highest kudos’d stories in the fandom. What can I say? The fandom sorts well. But svmadelyn is another author to read everything by! Just go ahead and assume that for everyone on this list, probably.

bring it if you really want it by staraflur – the Harry Potter AU! So good.

break me in by thundersquall – possibly this is not your kink but IT’S TOTALLY MY KINK.

Banned by Vitula – ah, Patrick and Jonny flirting online when they don’t even know each other in real life. :D

Twist in my Sobriety by jezziejay – again, so hard to choose!. I think this is my favorite of hers, but don’t hold me to it.

Shot right through with a bolt of blue by mermaid – love me some magical realism + angst.

Okay, I could go on forever, but let’s move on to…

Tyler/Jamie

My second love. My favorite thing about them is how (at least as I see them) they have perfectly opposing insecurities: Jamie thinks he’s not flashy enough, fun enough, hot enough for someone like Tyler, and Tyler things he’s not solid and good and worthy enough for someone like Jamie. But then it turns out they’re crazy about each other. :D

Door to Door by Ferritin4 – hahaha I am making THE OPPOSITE OF DEEP CUTS HERE but this story is just so good. So good.

the other thing by cornfields – my very favorite exploration of homophobia anywhere. ANYWHERE. It’s not light, but it’s so worth it.

gonna have to ask about by ferrassie – sigh, again, I am choosing the most obvious stories but only because they’re amazing.

untitled seguin/benn a/b/o ficlet by Rest – this super short but also I love it.

Sink These Roots Deep by LadyJanelly – everything by LadyJanelly is amazing. See also: Twelve Moons and Salvage (which is a Mad Max AU and SERIOUSLY THE MOST AMAZING).

…I was going to add the one where Jamie wishes his soulmate were more original and then he wishes his soulmate were Tyler Seguin, but I can’t find it??? SOMEONE MUST HELP ME IF THIS HAS BEEN DELETED.

Hallsy/Ebs

Kind of retro at this point but aaaaah I love them so much. Here are my favorites:

make lots of noise by maleyka – in making this list, I discovered that I have multiple favorite Hallsy/Ebs fics in which Hallsy is a girl. Hmmmm.

love today (anyway you want to) by daisysusan – the other fic I love where Hallsy is a girl, grouped for your convenience!

You and I (Will Be Young Forever) by ChibiRHM – ah, teh cuteness.

Still After All These Years by hapakitsune – aaaaah this is so angst-ridden and SO GOOD.

Baby, Let’s Play House by doctor_denmark – in which there’s a baby and they don’t know which of theirs it is!!!

my head’s in the game (but my heart’s in the song) by ten_miles_til_midnight – yes, that is a title from High School Musical. What can I say– these two were made for high school AUs.

Other pairings

...Okay, so I kind of wimped out when it came to making extensive rec lists for other pairings. Mostly the problem is that I don’t know them well enough– I have over 1,000(!!) hockey bookmarks, because I have no bookmark discretion, and I can’t remember which are the most important stories for those pairings. But I did want to highlight a few stories/pairings:

Mitch/Auston – there are SO many stories being written about them right now, so definitely worth checking out the tag. I read dozens of stories about them last fall and can’t remember which ones I liked best, but I do know that torch this place we know by theundiagnosable is awesome.

Willy/Latts – I haven’t read as much for them, but I have to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to Out of play, out of competition by thenorthface, which I have read, oh, only a BILLION times. Apparently Michael Latta going on The Bachelor is my one true love.

P.K./Carey – somewhat of the past now that P.K. is on the Preds, but there are some fantastic stories for them. I did actually reread a bunch of them in making this list (tragedy, my life is so difficult) and was surprised by the concentration of excellent tropes: for example, Any Wish You Want by Ferritin4 and grace under pressure by gdgdbaby both feature Carey getting hit by some kind of sex magic; in the time you took to get this far by TheDukeofAvon and harder hit by gdgdbaby and oopsohdear make excellent use of amnesia; and then there’s age ain’t nothing but a number by 7iris, where Carey Price gets deaged and okay I’m stopping now but the point is, don’t sleep on P.K. and Carey.

There are so many more. THERE ARE SO MANY MORE. I couldn’t even pick for Connor McDavid/Dylan Strome and Alex Galchenyuk/Brendan Gallagher and Danny Briere/Claude Giroux because I would have had to reread everything and it’s already taken me like four days to put together a response to your ask and I have it on good authority that I’m supposed to be doing other things with my life. And then there’s the treasure trove that is Sid/Geno, which, for reasons I do not understand, I have never been able to get into, but you probably should because there are so many stories written by such excellent people.

So. That’s it for now. (heaves huge sigh, wipes sweat off brow) If other people want to fill in the horrible omissions I have no doubt made, they should definitely do so!

do you have any taz fic recs? especially taakitz or blupjeans!!

i am very sorry for how long this took!! i am an old lady who stores her bookmarks in browser, and after figuring out how to transfer them from phone to laptop, i realized i would have to carefully review all 65!! this took most of the day.

disclaimer: i tried to focus mostly on the ships you mentioned, but i got distracted by some of the really good gen fic i keep around. it’s just. it’s my favorite you guys.

apologies if you’ve already read all of these – i’m not sure what the trends of the fandom are. if all else fails, here’s a link to posts tagged both fic and blupjeans, and here’s one for fic and taakitz. i also have a fic rec tag that includes a few things i apparently never bookmarked properly!! check that out too :)

blupjeans:

watch me stumble over and over by rosesandspades713

2k // the stolen century

lup and barry get together, with taako working both sides into talking to each other

just a little change by writingismycoffee

5k // tsc

barry gets a mustache and lup hates it. mostly silly, but the reason she hates it is much worse than she first thought.

barry and lup; a collection of firsts by potatolord

10k // mainly tsc

a very sweet, very well-written compilation of important moments in lup and barry’s romance

the phoenix flame by alatarmaia4

32k // PRINCESS BRIDE AU

i’ll be honest, my shitty memory doesn’t allow me to remember the story very well, but from what i can remember it kicks major ass and julia is in it at the end. also, it’s a princess bride au. of course it’s great.

taakitz:

wouldn’t have it any other way by theplace

8k // between eleventh hour and suffering game

taako and kravitz have a nice night out, except there’s a surprise waiting back at the moonbase. kravitz meets the family, and there’s only some mild angst by way of dramatic irony.

(when i think about you) flowers grow out of my grave by piraete

30k // flower shop/mortician au

krav needs to find a new flower shop for work and accidentally meets a very cute elf who needs a date to his friends’ wedding. taako and magnus are friends with carey, killian, hurley, and sloane, plus little ango is present. very very good fic.

of all the stars and sunrises i’ve seen by untrustworthyglitch

7k // post-canon

taako never ceases to impress kravitz

the queen’s command by anonymous-moose

2k // post-canon

very short and cute. the raven queen is disappointed in her son.

twins and their boys:

the worst candlenights ever by weevilo707

40k // college au

both taakitz and blupjeans. contains: kravitz owning a literal raven, readers living vicariously through fictional characters, and the best barry ever written.

commitment issues by anonymous puzzler

6k // stolen century and post-canon

the twins aren’t used to permanence. here are two times they discuss it. includes teasing and doubt and sappiness. it’s very good.

counting days by violentsarcasm

3k // stolen century and post-canon

sort of the inverse of the previous one: both twins are romantic nerds. also discusses lup’s time in the umbrastaff.

character studies:

i have loved the stars too fondly by quilly

26k // pre-canon and tsc

an incredible character study of davenport. legitimately one of the best fics ever written. i know you’re looking for romance, but this is a work of art.

head of the flock by teacuptaako

2k // pre-canon and tsc

a character study of lup. “the universe owes lup interest. it owes her fifteen dollars, minimum.”

because that’s what love is (equivalent exchange) by teacuptaako

6k // tsc

technically blupjeans, but it’s mostly about barry’s relationship with taako. it’s wonderfully written with a unique take on taako and makes me feel things no matter how many times i reread it.

still here by bluemoodblue

9k // post-canon

taako and lup recover together

caleb cleveland and the case of the missing memories by vigs

3k // pre-crystal kingdom

kiiind of a character study? a very clever interpretation of how angus found the bureau. it is fully adopted into my headcanon. note: it is technically a wip, but i think it’s complete enough to enjoy.

family fics

evocative by blackwiresonherhead

3k // stolen century and pre-canon

lucretia misses her family. when she misses her family, she eats. a wonderful fic about lucretia’s relationship with the twins.

the academy by lesetoilesfous

18k // pre-canon (on two-sun world)

i really, really love this fic. it’s ipre-as-family (specifically the twins, magnus, and barry) and it’s really cute and sweet and they support each other and i love it

pieces set to fall by weatheredlaw

9k // post-canon

i’ll tell you up front. everyone dies in this fic. it is sad but sweet, and you will probably cry.

that being said, it really is a beautiful story about taako saying goodbye.

kindness won’t save anyone by kitahart

pre-stolen century // 5k

taako is sick and his friends are worried! a thb as family fic. angst and comfort.

the game is already lost by altschmerzes

9k // written pre-suffering game

fluff-without-plot. taako needs affection from his friends and doesn’t realize how much they love him. i think this is the top-rated fic on ao3 so you’ve probably already read it, but it was the first taz fic i read and i cherish it.

puzzle pieces by dareandwriteit

19k // written pre-stolen century

angus is beloved by so, so many people. it is nearly 20k of pure, unadulterated fluff. please enjoy.

hi!! so, oh my gosh, i just read your fic “concerning flight” and i loved it SO MUCH. i’ve reread it like three times now and i’m in need of more thor/lady loki! do you happen to have any other fic recommendations similar to yours? it’s such an interesting dynamic and i am FASCINATED.

i hope you didn’t send this ask too long ago anon bc i never got a notification for it!!! tumblr is a truly wonderful and functional site (((((:

anyway, thank you for your kind words!!! i am so fucking thirsty for lady loki/thor, or really anything at all that touches on loki’s vague and flirtatious relationship to gender and sexuality, including and especially his apparent obsession with having all kinds of ill-advised babies. there was this very excellent rec list going around a bit ago to that effect which i cannot for the life of me locate now, but let me give you a few of the fics i have bookmarked and maybe other people (like @reserve) can jump in with some add ons?

(excuse the ugly links im stuck with mobile while my laptop does its own rendition of the mariah carey “i can’t read” gif re connecting to the internet)

here’s one rec list that includes a few relevant fics:http://reserve.tumblr.com/post/167591761100/my-friend-i-am-a-devoted-lurker-on-your-page-i

and here are the ones i specifically have bookmarked:https://archiveofourown.org/works/12852915 (exceedingly good and hilarious writing) https://archiveofourown.org/works/12659847 (hot as fuuuuuuuck, pure porn)https://archiveofourown.org/works/465339 (aka loki having ill-advised babies)https://archiveofourown.org/works/268867 (same as above)https://archiveofourown.org/works/437199 (also same as above; this one and the previous one are less about gender stuff and more about loki being a terrible slut and having babies, so idk if that floats your boat or not, but eh)

also here’s some terrible porn i myself wrote a few years ago:https://archiveofourown.org/works/1056703

also also….. im writing something very similar to concerning flight for the thorki bigbang, basically an extended take on the same kernel of an idea. could possibly be taken as a sequel. SO LET’S SEE IF I CAN GET OFF MY GODDAMN ASS AND ACTUALLY FINISH IT IN TIME!!

TAZ Fic Recs

I’m bad at keeping bookmarks or remembering titles or remembering authors’ names, so I’m keeping my TAZ recs in a post instead! There are TONS of great fics in this fandom, and here’s a surely incomplete list of some that brought me particular joy.

Newest additions to the list are at the top, last updated February 2020.

Hey hey, marry me Barry by @qpenguin98 - rated Teen and Up

If you want to just be emotionally shattered by romance in really lovely and positive ways, please read this fic. This might be my favorite Blupjeans story I’ve ever read. It’s beautiful, it’s skillfully and subtly written, it has great emotional payoff, and I cried a LOT. I don’t want to give too much description of the plot because it was really impactful going in blind, but it’s all about Barry and the rest of Lup’s family ganging up to make her (and themselves) really happy, and it’s beautiful.

because that’s what love is (equivalent exchange) by teacuptaako - rated Teen and Up

This fic broke me a little. It’s Barry’s POV on the Starblaster, getting to know everyone, falling in love with Lup, and trying to figure out Taako. This is a FAB outside perspective on Taako’s weird outer layers of personality. Plus Barry is just such a good dude, it’s impossible to not love this trip inside his head!

Dumb Interspecies Relations series by nah_tho - rated Explicit

If you’re into Taako and Brad Bradson, well, you’ve probably already read this series? But if you haven’t, DO. What starts out as a fun sexy romp gets plotty and full of worldbuilding, Taako is a fantastic mess, and Brad is trying real hard. This series is hilarious, hot, sometimes suspenseful, and the final story made me cry.

got a license to kill (and you know I’m going straight for your heart) by @hoothootmotherf-ckers - rated Teen and Up

THIS FIC WAS MY GIFT IN THE 2019 TAZ CANDLENIGHTS GIFT EXCHANGE, I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT. It’s so wonderful!! A multi-chapter assassin AU with some coffee shop and fake relationship in there too, unbelievable. Lup is a badass. Barry is adorable. They love each other, and also get shot at, and also fight Big Pharma. Please go read it, srsly.

After the War by theauthoress - Not Rated

This fic took a twist I haven’t seen before, and I loved it! Dredging up some good angst from Taako’s past and then from Kravitz’s, it delivers a punch and then soothes you again with some good sibling stuff. I don’t want to say more and give away the surprise, but if you like some Taakitz hurt/comfort, do check this one out.

Apogee by @charmandhex - rated Teen and Up

I admit, I am one of those who think Taako won’t ever forgive Lucretia, but that they can be civil again, and maybe even friends. This fic captures that so beautifully, how much history there is between them that neither of them can escape. It’s lovely, and Taako is baller, and I read it twice in a row.

you know, elf practice series by @anonymousalchemist - rated from General to Teen and Up

Yet another one that I can’t believe I didn’t already have on this list. I know the elf practice thing as a meme has mostly vanished into the tumblr ether, but these two fics are on my mind always. They’re just so unusual, and the kind of creepy that’s treated as matter-of-fact (which is the best kind of creepy). What if elves had to, you know, practice? To become elves? Just thinking about it gives me a shiver, I love this fairycore take on Taako and Lup and their upbringing.

the kid, the future forthcoming by @anonymousalchemist - rated Teen and Up

Seriously, how did I not have this on my list already, I reread it all the time! It’s so incredibly hard to make second person work, and this fic really works. It’s a short and compelling vignette of young Taako’s life, and young Taako-and-Lup’s life, and the difficulties of a scrappy teenhood. It’s a little heartbreaking, and full of perfect moments that I think about a lot. Also, tiny Barry cameo that gives me so many feels! Also also, just...the mood of it is so good, the inside-of-Taako’s-head feeling, wonderful.

Taking the dogs home by Anonymous - rated Mature

What an extremely quiet and beautiful story! Set after Story and Song, at Magnus’ house in an almost dreamlike country woods setting. Taako shows up out of the blue, perhaps escaping a problem he won’t discuss, and falls back into Magnus’ small town routine. There’s a lot of subtly layered domesticity and realistic, compelling Taagnus feeling. Also, a dog!

Heads/Tails by unprofessionalbard - rated Teen and Up

Short and powerful! I loved this fic. A really well-characterized look at Taako and Kravitz, and how their jobs and their personal lives intersect and interfere with each other. I don’t want to give anything away because it unfolds really precisely, I think, so--just go read it! It’s awesome.

and at a certain age the child is grown by bimaukery - rated Teen and Up

This is a really beautiful, bittersweet modern AU. The IPRE family move into Angus’ grandpa’s house, while Angus is still there, and he can’t understand why. He watches them, tries in small ways to interact with them--as they try to figure out what to do about the little ghost haunting their new house. Honestly, go read this and cry over it for a while, it’s lovely.

The Shrike and the Thorn by JoyfullyyoursDav ( @keplercryptids ) - rated Teen and Up

If you haven’t had enough of crying about Taako and Lup, here’s a great fic for you. That Good Sibling Shit, flashbacks, memory loss, beautiful conversations, just...everything I could want in a lovely little package. Also, PLEASE check out this author’s other stories, so many great ones!

(when i think about you) flowers grow out of my grave by @phantomsteed - rated Teen and Up

This Taakitz fic is one of my fav kinds of modern AU: Taako works in a flower shop, Krav is a mortician, they meet cute and fall in love! The ensemble are all there in the background, including a very adorable Angus and a soon-to-be-married Carey and Killian, but what really got me about this is the gentle and steady way our favorite boys fall in love. There are also SUPER lovely illustrations by @karinhart sprinkled throughout!

a fool for lesser things by himemiyaa - rated Teen and Up

This fic charmed the PANTS off me, and made me teary to boot. Taako and Kravitz are new roommates in this community college AU (and, surprise, they end up together). I love the way Taako slowly opens up in this story, to Kravitz, to the community of friends Lup has built that he’s been keeping himself outside of, and especially to Garyl the cat. It feels so real, and like a reminder to myself to be more vulnerable in my own life! Please go read this, it will lift your spirits.

Among the Ruins by @distractedkat - rated Teen and Up

I don’t know how I went so long without finding this fic, and then for a little while I resisted because I wasn’t sure about the description. Finally over the weekend I read the whole thing in a sitting, and I’m SO glad I did. It’s fantastic!! This AU reimagines the canon if Taako’s time post-Sizzle It Up had gone differently. What follows from that is an engrossing and plausible version of events with lots of action, lots of funny lines, lots of feelings, and lots more Lup! There’s a little angst, a lot of twins and Taakitz goodness, and a wonderfully happy ending. If you’re looking for something nice and long to dive into, definitely try this one.

Angus McDonald and the Flight of the Flying V by @mystery-moose - rated Teen and Up

This was one of the first fics I read in this fandom, before I thought to keep track of things I liked or bookmark them to find them again. Then it turned up in @marywhal‘s rec list, and I was overjoyed to find it again! As the rest of this list will show, I have a special weakness for stories about Taako as Angus’ guardian, and this one really shaped my headcanons about their relationship. In the main portion of the story, a grown-up Angus with his own detective agency is working a case--with a bored and lonely Taako’s help. Interspersed with the mystery are flashbacks to their time on the road as Sizzle it Up with Taako and Company, achingly soft glimpses of Angus’ post-finale childhood as Taako and Kravitz’s sort-of-son. I think it was finished before the actual finale aired, so it isn’t entirely canon-compliant, but it captures the same tone beautifully.

i will buy the flower shop by @weatheredlaw - rated Teen and Up

I saved this fic for an emotionally rainy day, because I had a feeling it would brighten things up. It absolutely did! A modern restaurant AU with all the necessary found family feelings, and all of our favorite characters with lives that aren’t perfect but that get better with communication and vulnerability and persistent joy. If you’re looking for something poignant and satisfying, something to lighten a bad day, this fic is an excellent choice.

Taako and Hurley’s Maximum Fun Drive by detectivelion - rated Teen and Up

WHAT A ROMP! If you’re longing to get back to the high speed action of battlewagon racing, this is the fic to read. Set after the Day of Story and Song, the whole crew (Hurley and Sloane included, of course) face off in a madcap race that really recaptured the spirit of Petals to the Metal for me.

Bureau of Badass ( @bureauofbadass ) by @chemicallywrit and @miceenscene - rated Teen and Up

This fic almost feels too obvious to rec, and yet I can’t not. SUCH AN ENGROSSING READ! Take all your favorite characters, stick them in the 90′s, give them attitude and relatable problems, and put them on skates--then you’ve got this roller derby AU. I don’t even know what else to say about it, because if that doesn’t make you want to read it, nothing will. As of this writing it’s a WIP, but there are over 100 chapters extant to read and only a few more yet to come!

and the warmth will never die by Junkyard_Rose - rated Teen and Up

This is an extraordinary fic. It’s a modern setting AU in which Taako and Lup were separated as kids and have made lives for themselves while searching for each other, which is wonderful all by itself. What stands out about this one, though, is the non-chronological way it’s told. Every chapter gives little glimpses into the pasts and presents of both twins, sometimes the same events from different angles, revealing a tiny bit of new information each time. I never found it confusing, just extremely interesting and vibrant, and SO emotionally satisfying in the last few chapters! The prose is beautiful too, sometimes I read it aloud to myself!

songs for revelations by @weatheredlaw - rated Mature

So many of weatheredlaw’s fics wreck me in a variety of ways, but this one is maybe my favorite. It only has two chapters so far, but it’s SO EVOCATIVE and unusual and sometimes I just sit and think about it and wonder what will happen next. It’s the soft-apocalypse-adjacent AU I didn’t know I needed. Or, if you want to get fucked up by something finished, try their series all the way across the universe!

Bury the Lead by @marywhal - rated Teen and Up

Such a brilliant story! High school AUs are hard to do well, I think, and this is one of the best. It’s an ensemble story but from Taako’s POV, filled with extremely relatable versions of all the characters we know and love. There’s newspaper nerdery, wicked cool language stuff, and a million great moments that made me laugh, or cry, or both. Even if you don’t like AUs, I urge you to try this one!

Patterns of Migration by goodnicepeople - rated Teen and Up

Let me preface this by saying that I really want to put EVERYTHING by this author on my list. Their stories are all incredible, soft and beautiful and painful in good ways. It was hard to choose a favorite to list here, but this one is really special and elegantly crafted. It follows Angus and Magnus as child and parent, a progression over time as Angus grows up and Magnus slows down. In later chapters the addition of Taako to the dynamic produces some really lovely scenes, and also some very sad scenes--I cried a TON reading it.

Angus McDonald and the Case of the Mysterious Butter Wyvern by yassan - rated General Audiences

This is one of the funniest fics I’ve read in this fandom so far, and one of the closest in tone to the actual show. THB plus Angus is a great equation no matter what they’re doing, but when they’re shopping for a birthday present for the Director it takes on a whole new level of crazy.

what can the harvest hope for by lagaudiere - rated Teen and Up

I think this is the first story on this list from Kravitz’s POV, and it’s GREAT. Full of great Reaper Squad interactions and marvelous Taakitz scenes, alternating with a really interesting, sometimes a little creepy, examination of John Hunger in the Eternal Stockade. If you’re into gray-area redemption stories and Kravitz being wonderful, then this is for you.

Oh have you seen my ghost? by greenglowsgold - rated Mature

Let me say first: if abuse or assault with intent to rape are triggering for you, you’ll probably want to give this one a pass. If that’s not an issue, then this is an excellently written and heart-hurting story about Taako’s past with Sazed, as seen through an unexpected and dangerous encounter. It’s beautifully subtle, and the last few lines legit broke my heart.

Reverie - by ltdominic - rated Teen and Up

Update: Reverie is finished! And it’s so beautiful, everything the first chapter hinted it would be. It’s one of my favorite themes, fucked-up Taako recovering from losing memories and getting them back. It’s painful and lovely, featuring a family who can see that something is wrong but can’t quite fix it, intermingled with backstory flashbacks. This story really captures the day to day struggle; there’s a crisis, and improvement, but there’s no perfectly happy ending.

“Cute, but still fucked up.” - by writersstareoutwindows - rated General Audiences

If you’re looking for a short and sweet pick-me-up in your day, this is it! The author drops you into a pitch-perfect and adorable scene between Taako, Lup, and Angus. They’ve captured a teasing-but-loving dynamic between the three that made me grin like a lunatic.

Taste Test (They Were Delicious) - by @marywhal - rated Teen and Up

Another moving and wonderful Taako-centric fic, made up of a series of vignettes set from the Starblaster years onward. Each section features a different meal (with a recipe, which is exciting), and a beautifully-written glimpse into Taako’s relationships. Lup features heavily, as one might guess, but the real through line is Lucretia, who poignantly bookends the story.

it takes a village - series by neverwinter ( @nxymxrjr ) - ratings range from General to Mature

This series is a modern AU full of extremely beautiful and moving found family interactions, told mostly from Angus’ point of view, and heavily featuring Taako as his legal guardian. You will notice if you read through this rec list that Taako and Angus as flawed-father-figure-and-son is MY FAVORITE THING, and this author does it so, so well. There’s some good parenting, some good sibling stuff with Taako and Lup, lovely Taakitz romance, and frequent cameos by the rest of the TAZ family. None of the stories in the series are explicit so far, but mind the tags for things like mental health issues, past abuse, and blood. Also, DEFINITELY check out their other TAZ stories!

with a pace and fury defiant - by redqueentheory - rated Mature

This author explores Taako’s inner life post-finale and the darker emotions that could follow that glorious happy ending. When he locates Kalen, he and Merle plan a road/camping trip with Magnus as cover and set off to avenge Julia. It’s beautifully written, sometimes painfully emotive (in a good way), and describes so much of what I headcanon about Taako’s feelings and how he deals with them that it’s like the author was reading my mind. It’s WONDERFUL (but check the tags, there is some violence). Do check out their other work as well, especially if you are into Bradko!

running into the sun (but i’m running behind) - by @quillyfied - rated General Audiences

Set between Crystal Kingdom and 11th Hour, this is a fantastic THB bonding fic! The bubble cannon breaks and strands the boys in the middle of the Faerun countryside, forcing them into a road trip that alternates wonderfully between sweet moments, drama from the past coming back to bite them, and very funny goofs. Their voices feel really in character to me, and the tone of this story is light enough that it could be a bonus episode of the show. I absolutely loved it, and I reread it all the time! Also, if you are a Davenchurch fan, definitely read i have loved the stars too fondly.

Wizard of Fortune - series by @fiercebadrabbit - rated General Audiences

This author has resisted the temptation to make Taako a Reaper when he dies--instead, he becomes a servant of Istus, creating a unique, beautiful, fascinating version of the far future in the Balance universe. I LOVE IT, so so much. Taako’s unusual personality shines through in all of his interactions, viewed through the eyes of the strangers who benefit from the hand of Fate. The writing has a lovely, mystical feel, which is a style I adore! This author has also written some very charming Taakitz, so check that out as well.

UPDATE: When fiercebadrabbit asked for ficlet requests, I excitedly asked for more Taako as a servant of Istus--and got THIS WONDERFUL GEM in reply! Go read it for excellent sibling sass!

through the days you will dream of losing me and losing you - by @androidsfighting - rated Teen and Up

I love stories about memory, and this one BREAKS ME every time I read it. An exceptionally written look at Taako after the finale and how he recovers (or doesn’t) from the effects of the Voidfish. There’s some really excellent Taako and Lup scenes, some great Barry, some great Lucretia, and lots of very visceral prose about remembering and forgetting and the confusion in between. It’s fairly short, but packs a powerful punch. I feel like this is both the fic I’ve wanted since hearing the finale and also the fic I’ve been trying to write since finishing the finale, so it’s both perfect and intimidating!

Luster - by @lsunnyc - rated Mature

This one is a WIP, but nearly done and worth the wait! After the finale, Taako is abducted from the train on a business trip to Goldcliff. The story alternates between Taako’s perspective, imprisoned but viciously determined to escape, and the rest of the TAZ family trying frantically to track him down when they realize he never made it to his destination. It’s SO DAMN GOOD YOU GUYS. Taako is very in character here and his intelligence and power really shine under stress; the worldbuilding of the “prison” where he’s trapped is also precise and fantastic. Every day that this fic has an update is a Good Day for me. Keep an eye on the tags though, there’s some carefully written dubcon.

Our own, soft hearts - series by @wildgoosery - ratings range from Teen to Explicit

If you, like me, longed to hear more of Taako and Kravitz on dates, then this series is your antidote! They’re so in character, and they’re so in love, and their every interaction is so wonderful. This fic really brings me joy, and also is sexy as hell. Also, the most recent installment is a wonderfully drawn fan comic! The author’s other work is also sexy and great, do check it out!

<3 If you’ve made it all the way to the bottom of this list and want even more fic to read, may I humbly suggest mine? Mostly about Taako, light touches of angst, and hopefully prose that approaches the wonderfulness of the stories I’ve recced here.

Harry Potter is the most eligible bachelor in the Wizarding world. Draco Malfoy is a disgraced ex-Death Eater with emotional baggage and a bit of a crush.

Through His Eyes (I Am Set Free) by Shewhxmustnxtbenamed @shewhomustnotbenamed

Harry and Draco have a telepathic connection that remains unexplained in both the Muggle and wizarding worlds. Draco is assigned a mission by Voldemort to locate and capture the Boy Who Lived-- the trouble is that they don't know anything about him. While Draco struggles to gather information on this mysteriously absent hero, he and Harry start communicating again for the first time since they were kids. Harry continues life as normal until he discovers information which compels him to abandon his ordinary Muggle life with the endeavor to rescue and emancipate his only friend-- even if that means bartering with his own life.

A Private Reason for This by Femme (femmequixotic) @femmequixotic

When the wife of a star politician in the Scottish Ministry turns up dead just outside Hogsmeade, Draco Malfoy and his murder investigation team are called in from the Edinburgh Auror force to find her killer.

When Draco makes an impromptu decision to rescue Harry Potter from Malfoy Manor, the two find themselves completely alone and facing the looming climax of the war against Voldemort.

Summary:

In 2017, Harry is on his way to Pansy and Luna's beach house. He’s a bit terrified of seeing Draco, to be honest. It’s been a while, and then there’s the little matter of Draco having married someone else in the interim.

In 2001, Draco is drunk, wearing Pansy's mother's ermine coat, and afraid to walk into the Leaky because someone might throw a curse at him. So, of course, he runs into his ex-nemesis and hopeless crush, Harry Potter.

This is a love story that isn't perfect, about two people whose timing is never quite right, and all the moments that come together to make something extraordinarily beautiful anyway.

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭* ･｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

“Drink, Harry?” Blaise asked, leaning against the bar and bestowing a gleaming smile upon him.

“Erm,” Potter said, looking flustered by Blaise’s sudden friendliness. “Yeah. Okay, thanks. I’ll have whatever you’re having.”

Draco threw Blaise a scathing look.

“Would you like another as well, oh light of my life?” Blaise asked Draco.

“Blaise,” Draco gritted out.

“So, Potter,” Blaise said, ignoring Draco. “Are you seeing anyone at the moment?”

“Uh, no,” Potter said, cheeks flaring deliciously once again. Draco didn’t remember him being such a blusher. “Why?”

“Just curious. Who’s the last person you went out with? Ginevra Weasley? Or has there been another lucky girl—or boy!—since then?"

“Um, not—not really,” Potter said. “Not anybody worth mentioning.”

“Funny, that’s what Draco was just saying,” Blaise said, passing Potter a gin and tonic. Draco elbowed Blaise hard in the ribs, willing him to shut up. But Blaise continued speaking, entirely undeterred. “Sure, he meets plenty of fit men in clubs, but nobody special, you know?”

Draco elbowed him again and Blaise let out a soft grunt of pain.

“Oh,” Potter said, turning even redder. “Yeah.” He cleared his throat. “I hear that.” He scratched at the back of his neck. “Well. Thank you for the drink, Zabini. I’m going to go back over to…” He gestured vaguely at his friends.

“Any time, Potter,” Blaise said, giving Potter another congenial grin.

“What the bloody fuck is wrong with you?” Draco hissed as soon as Potter was out of earshot.

“He wants your cock,” Blaise said, shrugging.

“You arsehole, stop saying that!” Draco glanced over to Potter’s table. To his horror, Potter was looking his way. Again. Draco blanched when their eyes met and wanted to die. “I fucking hate you, Blaise!”

“He is blatantly ogling your arse in those trousers, old boy. Don’t hate me just yet. Wait and see how this plays out first.”

Draco looked again and met green eyes once more. He looked quickly away. “Oh, bouncing broomsticks, I’m not nearly drunk enough for this,” he said, gulping down his gin and tonic.

“Draco, I love you more than life itself, but you are a complete idiot sometimes,” Blaise said, taking him by the shoulders. “Listen. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll go to the loo right now.”

“Go to the loo? Why? What are you—”

“Stop arguing with me for one fucking minute, will you?” Blaise cried. Draco was quiet. “Good. Now, look over at Potter one more time and hold his gaze for just a little too long, and then go to the loo.”

Draco’s hand was shaking where it held his drink, threatening to splash gin all over the bar top. He set it down and wiped his palms on the sleeves of his coat. He glanced towards Potter again, and Potter was still looking at him. He felt like he might sick up, but still, he held that green stare until he couldn't bear it for a moment longer.

“Excellent. Now go,” hissed Blaise, pushing him.

Draco stiffly made his way to the loo, nerves making him light-headed. He stepped inside and let the door swing shut behind him. In the mirror, he looked pink-faced and wild-eyed, and his hands were still trembling as he fixed his hair. What in the hell was he doing? Surely, surely Blaise was off his fucking nut. There was no way—

The door to the loo swung open again, and then Harry Potter was crowding him against the sink. And then he was kissing Draco hard, his hand gesturing towards the door, which made a click as the lock slid into place.

Wandless and wordless. That son of a bitch. His cock throbbed against Potter’s thigh and Potter's tongue was in his mouth.

After a moment, Potter pulled away. “Is this okay?” he asked, his green eyes fixed on Draco’s.

Draco, at a complete loss for words and oxygen both, could only nod.

Potter smiled then, sweetly, and leaned in to kiss him again. And while the smile might have been sweet, the kiss was not. It was dirty and fierce and hungry, and Draco felt like he was floating above his body, everything taking on a surreal tint, because surely he was not here in the loo at the Leaky Cauldron, snogging Harry Potter.

It was impossible.

Summary:

It’s three months after the war. Harry has already mucked up all his plans. Draco is no longer the prince of Slytherin house. And they sure as hell didn’t both mean to go back to Hogwarts at the same time. Cue snarking, long conversations…and unexpected snogging.

This is the story of how Harry and Draco put their past aside. And then it's the story of how they finally learn to listen to it.

Excerpt:

“POTTER AND MALFOY,” Ernie MacMillan shouted, then collapsed into laughter. “Because—inter-house, the two of them—”

Draco’s heart thumped, sudden and intense. He met Potter’s eyes across the room without meaning to. There was a long pause.

“Do we,” Potter cleared his throat. “Do we have to have sex in there?”

“Not technically,” Thea said, as Granger chimed in with a hearty “Absolutely not.”

“The idea is that you’re trapped in there,” Pansy said sweetly. “And that you’ve got seven minutes, and you might as well.”

Thea snickered, and leaned back to watch. Draco expected Potter to storm out of the room. Instead, he stood up and said, “Right, Malfoy, come on.”

As Draco walked toward the cupboard, he felt Granger’s sobering charm wash over him and felt oddly grateful. It looked pitch dark in the cupboard, and Potter was close enough to smell some kind of warm musk, unfamiliar but appealing, and Draco suddenly didn’t want to know what he would have done had he entered the cupboard drunk.

He stepped inside behind Harry, and the door swung closed.

The inside of the cupboard was dark. It pressed against his arms. He could hear the reverberation of Potter's breath across from him: steady, and then one deeper, longer exhale.

"Alright, Malfoy?" Potter sounded right in front of him.

Draco swallowed. "Yeah."

Potter laughed slightly, then there was the sound of shuffling. Draco had only played this a couple of times before, and he thought it might almost be easier with other Slytherins. It was like an unspoken rule—you stepped into the cupboard, you snogged, maybe you got off a bit. It made it easier; it was an expected, measured kind of intimacy. This, with Potter's body an unknown, forbidden entity just in front of him—it was hard to know where to stand. Draco settled for pressing his back against the far wall, trying to figure by the sound of Potter's breaths and the meagre sliver of light exactly how far away he had to stay.

"So," Draco said. "We just. Stand here for seven minutes?"

"I don't know," Potter said. His voice sounded muffled from the tight walls around them. "You probably know better than me what we're supposed to do here."

"Well." Draco picked at the side of the cupboard, leaned the back of his head against the newly transfigured wood. Blaise hadn't done a half-bad job. "I think what we're meant to be doing in here is out of the question. So."

There was a pause from the other side of the cupboard. Then the sound of shuffling.

"Where are you?"

"I'm right here, Potter," Draco said drily.

"No, no. Here. Where's your hand?"

Tentatively, Draco held out his hand. After a few moments, Potter found it.

"Right," Potter said. "We've got room, I think. Want to sit down?"

"And what?" Draco scoffed. "Then we'll talk?"

"Maybe, yeah," Potter said. He started tugging Draco down to the bottom of the cupboard.

"Here, wait a second."

"Where the fuck are you?"

"No, if you just—"

"This isn't going to work."

"It will, just hold on. Here, my leg is here. If you just—“

"Well, hello.”

"Just sit on top of my leg, Malfoy, is that alright?"

Draco perched atop Potter's folded leg in the dark, half-straddling him.

"This is a little intimate, no?" Draco drawled.

Suddenly, he felt Potter's hands on his sides, adjusting the way Draco was sitting on top of his leg.

"You're really warm," Potter murmured, like an afterthought.

Draco’s heart pounded, and he hated it. For a few moments, there was only the faraway noise of the others shouting drunkenly at each other, muffled through the doors of the cupboard.

"Are you," Potter cleared his throat. "Are you opposed to all the things we're supposed to be doing in here? Or only some of them?"

Draco barked a laugh. "You're the one who's opposed. This is all sort of expected, in the Slytherin common room.”

"Right," Potter breathed. He seemed closer. Suddenly, Draco felt a hand skate up the plane of his neck, then settle at the bottom of his chin. "So if—if we were to—“

"You sound like such a prude, Potter." Draco tried to sound snide, but he didn't have much breath.

"Right," Potter said.

And then there were lips against Draco's. Imprecise, slightly off the mark, but Potter quickly righted himself. It was tentative and messy at first, a little wet, Potter's lips were a little chapped, but then suddenly it was as if Potter was asking for more, as if he'd let Draco in somehow, and Draco found himself swiping his tongue into Potter's mouth, relishing the warmth he found there, and Potter was making these little moans under his ministrations that made Draco work his hands into the mess of Potter's hair, which he seemed to enjoy a great deal. Draco felt Potter lean towards him, felt Potter's tongue dip into his own mouth. Fuck. Potter seemed hungry as he pressed his hands into the sides of Draco's face. From the pitch of his body, the sureness of his lips, his tongue—and Draco felt his cock stirring—

The tempus outside the cupboard rang out, and he and Potter broke apart.

"Make yourselves decent!" Pansy shouted from the other side, gleefully.

"Ah, shit," said Potter. "Sorry."

There was the sound of scrambling as Potter got back up to his feet. Then there was a hand, reaching around for his arm, and he was pulled up as well.

"Nothing to be sorry for, Potter," Draco said breezily. He adjusted his robes to disguise his budding erection. "You might want to check on your hair. Although, with the state it's usually in, I wonder whether anyone would notice the difference if it were sticking out sideways."

"Right. Thanks."

Draco waited a few moments, then spelled open the door and strode out of the cupboard.

“They didn’t even murder each other,” Ernie MacMillan slurred, disappointed.

"You have a good time, boys?" Thea asked. She fixed Draco with a knowing glance.

Here's The Pencil, Make It Work

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley, Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley, Draco Malfoy/Original Male Character, Neville Longbottom/Ginny Weasley Characters: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Original Characters, Ginny Weasley Additional Tags: HP: EWE, Coffee Shops, Muggles, Alcohol, Recreational Drug Use, Smoking, Bisexuality, Post-War, Coming Out, Draco Malfoy in the Muggle World, Mental Health Issues, Misunderstandings Series: Part 1 of Here's the Pencil

Summary:

Harry thinks "Why is Malfoy working in a coffee shop in muggle London?" is a much simpler question than, "Are you going to accept that auror offer and, if you don't, what will you do?"

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭* . * ･｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

Malfoy lifts his head and laughs delightedly, breath ghosting against Harry's cheek. "I want to tell you a secret," he says, and his voice is so soft and so sweet against Harry's ear, and Harry never imagined he'd think a word like that about Malfoy. He feels the warmth of Malfoy all against him and his heart aches.

"What?" says Harry, falling into a whisper for no good reason. "What's the secret?"

"You're not really ugly," says Malfoy, whispering, too.

"Oh, really?"

"Oh, really," says Malfoy, still talking in Harry's ear. "I think you're so fit."

Harry thinks his heart might stop for a moment.

"What?"

"I think you're so fit, Harry Potter. I meant that about the snow suiting you. You've got really lovely eyes."

"Oh," says Harry, heart kick starting again, pounding hard in his chest.

"Tell me a secret back," says Malfoy, fingers reaching out to, inexplicably, turn Harry's head towards him and touch his scar.

Malfoy's fingers are touching him so gently, and he's smiling in his silly lopsided way, and he thinks Harry's fit with lovely eyes. Harry's drunk, and he wants him so much.

"I want you," he whispers.

"Oh," says Malfoy. His eyes flick to Harry's lips, and then back up to his eyes.

In one swift movement, Harry tangles his hands in Malfoy's hair, presses him against the back of the couch, and kisses him. He shouldn't. It's too quick. He's taking one little hint and running with it, running too soon, like he always does, but Malfoy kisses him back with no hesitation, and Harry's heart has never felt quite so full before, excitement and anxiety and want spilling over the edges. Malfoy is kissing him back. Malfoy is gripping onto his waist, his arse. Harry wants to touch everywhere at once. His hands are in Malfoy's hair, on his shoulders, his chest, down to his waist – it all goes by so quickly, so surreally. Malfoy is making small, deep noises that Harry wants to hear more of, touching him back, kissing him like maybe he's wanted this, too, his mouth hot and wet and tasting of eggnog and cigarettes, his tongue in Harry's mouth.

"It's fucking freezing!" somebody yells outside, and they startle and stop snogging.

For a moment, Malfoy's eyes, pupils wide and dark with lust, are startled – and then a slow smile crosses his flushed face, a positively predatory look that Harry's never seen on Malfoy's, or perhaps anybody's, face before. "Harry," he says for the first time without "Potter" after it, rolling it off his tongue, his fingers playing softly at the back of Harry's neck, and if Harry wasn't hard already, he'd be hard now.

"Draco," he pants out harshly, feeling like a big, dumb caveman of a person, certainly not as seductive as all that, but Malfoy doesn't seem to think so; he just bites his lip.

"Come to my room," he says. It's not a polite request, it's an order, and Harry's not surprised. He's also completely powerless to fight it.

Summary:

Potter was supposed to have lived. Draco is certain of this. That Potter would no longer walk the earth was tantamount to the sun moving west to east across the sky. If only he could have stopped this from happening, if he’d have known… It comes to him as ideas often did: too late.

Or, Harry dreams of his past lives, and Draco is in every one.

(੭•̀ω•́)੭* . * ･｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

Potter collapses on the sofa, the very one Weasley had sat on earlier—no, later—that day.

“I died.”

“Not yet.”

“Who was it?”

“I don’t know.”

There is a ledge by the window. Draco shucks off his shoes and sits on it.

“What else?”

“That’s it.”

“You can’t give me any other fucking information?” Potter snaps.

Draco examines his fingernails. He has a hangnail. He hates those; he pulls it until blood wells up in its place. Potter’s gaze is intense, but the fire isn’t all anger, once he looks long enough to pay attention to it. The obvious prick isn’t even looking at Draco’s face, but towards his slightly open thigh, where it meets his crotch.

Draco has to do it. If Potter wants to fuck, Draco won’t stop him, especially if it will delay everything enough to prevent the situation altogether. And if Draco fails, Potter will die, and this will have been his last chance to—to not just have sex, but to be something to him.

“I’m here on borrowed time—literally,” says Draco, pulling the chain out of his shirt and holding the Time-Turner up. He frowns at it and puts it away. “Do you really want to hear the particulars of how you died? The gruesome details?”

Potter looks disconcerted. “I suppose not.”

“Right-o,” says Draco, who’s never said that before in his life. “Now that that’s over with, let’s cut to the fun part, shall we?”

Potter’s eyes flick down again. Draco rolls his. “You’re not going to work. We have all day.”

“The raid…” Potter begins. “It has to be today. There are people in danger.”

“People meaning you. Let’s just say I’m warning you out of the goodness of my heart, and since you definitely will be heeding my advice and not going on the bloody raid—”

“I never said I wouldn’t go.”

“—I’m sure I can think of ways you can thank me for it,” Draco finishes.

They stare at each other.

“Don’t be an idiot, Potter,” Draco says finally. It’s too soft.

“You want me,” Potter says, like a question.

“It’s a trap.”

Potter stands, crowds him against the window. “You want me. You’re saving my life.”

“Whether you live or die is irrelevant to me,” Draco sneers. “I’m just looking for a fuck.”

“So you don’t care about me,” Potter says. His eyes are dark. He looks like he’d drink in Draco’s every word if he could and hate every second of it.

Draco opens his legs. “Not at all.”

“Good.” Potter puts a hand just above his knee, pushes it farther apart, grips his inner thigh. “Wouldn’t want you to care about me when I’m dead—”

Draco kisses him, drags his face towards him so voraciously the back of his head smacks into the windowpane. He doesn’t care; if he thought he could undo Potter’s trousers while holding him exactly where he was, he’d do it. Perhaps he needs another go at the Time-Turner—not enough hands. But Potter is pressing back, one hand rising up to palm Draco’s crotch, the other pressing his shoulder into the cold, damp windowpane, so Draco is free to mess up his hair with shaking hands, drag them down Potter’s back, and pull his hips flush against him. He hooks a leg behind Potter’s, trapping him there.

They’re still kissing, if you can call it that, but it’s hungrier than kissing; messier, too. Potter opens Draco’s shirt but pulls away when his fingers brush scar tissue.

“I don’t care,” Draco says. “I don’t care.”

“I did this,” Potter says, and Draco could almost laugh at the mixture of possessiveness and anguish on his face, but he doesn’t.

“Irrelevant,” he says instead. “Are we fucking like you’re about to die or are we going to faff about?”

Potter laughs, soft and low. “I’m not going to die.” He presses his mouth to the hollow of Draco’s throat. Draco reaches down between them, shoving Potter’s fingers under his waistband.

“If you did, it wouldn’t matter—touch me for Christ’s sake.”

Potter pulls his hand back. “No.” He is infuriating in his smugness. “I thought you didn’t care.”

Turn From Stone

harryromper @harryromper

Chapters: 6/6 Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter Characters: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Hannah Abbott, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Theodore Nott, Rubeus Hagrid, Minerva McGonagall Additional Tags: Harry Potter Epilogue What Epilogue | EWE, Post-Second War with Voldemort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Action/Adventure, Hogwarts, Ghosts, Hogwarts Founders - Freeform, Magical Theory, Ex-Auror Harry Potter, Historian Hermione Granger, Minor Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley, Minor Hannah Abbott/Neville Longbottom, BAMF Luna Lovegood, Don't copy to another site

Summary:

Harry knows there’s nothing he can do to stop Hermione (war hero, historian, author of the reissued “Hogwarts: A History”) once she sets her mind to something. Even an extremely risky last-ditch effort to restore the ancient castle and lay its newest ghosts to rest. What he wasn’t counting on was her insistence that Draco Malfoy be part of the plan.

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭*⁺˚. * ･｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

Harry sits down on the edge of his own narrow bed. Harry’s chest feels too tight. He needs all of them to be okay. To get through this and to find Ron and to get back outside to Neville.

“Tell me you’ve fixed it. Here, just the two of us. Be honest with me.”

“I think so,” Draco says carefully. “I didn’t come into this to wanting to die, Harry. But you’re right that I was … reckless about the outcome. I don’t feel that way now, and it’s got nothing to do with the Vow.”

“But —”

“Harry, you can’t protect us from everything. There’s any number of things that might go wrong tomorrow. The roof of this foresaken fucking castle could fall in on us in our sleep — nothing is guaranteed. But I promise you I’m going to do my best to make sure we all make it out of here in one piece.”

Harry worries his lower lip between his teeth, looking at Draco. At his grey eyes and pale lashes; the chalkdust in his hair and the smudge of ink on his cheek. Harry can’t stand the thought of losing him when this — whatever the fuck this is — is only just beginning.

“Promise?”

Draco nods.

Harry sighs, kicking off his boots and standing up to get changed for bed. But then Draco tugs at his hand, pulling him slightly off balance, and his other palm is warm on the back of Harry’s neck as he surges up and captures Harry’s mouth in a kiss.

Draco tastes like chocolate frogs and a future Harry can’t even imagine for himself. A future he suddenly desperately wants. He kisses with passion and urgency, tugging Harry down on top of him. Harry feels lost in the heat of him through the thin covers, the cool touch of his fingertips sliding under Harry’s shirt and along his lower back.

“Wait,” he manages, pulling back, breathless.

Draco blinks, his cheeks flushed and his lips wet.

Harry’s brain feels like it’s short-circuiting, but this seems too important. “I don’t want to…”

Draco’s expression closes in like a stormfront. “Of course,” he says quietly, pushing Harry back and rearranging the covers defensively. “My apologies for misreading the situation.”

“What —”

“No, I shouldn’t have interpreted your concern for my well-being as anything more than —”

Harry cuts him off with another kiss. “Hush, you annoying prick. It’s not that I don’t want to.”

Draco’s eyes dart back and forth, studying Harry’s face, a small frown creasing his forehead that Harry desperately wants to smooth away.

“I just don’t want it to be like this. I don’t want it to be here, in this castle full of ghosts — metaphorical ghosts, I mean, though the real ones were no picnic either — and I don’t want it to be because we’re not sure about tomorrow.”

Draco finally relaxes again, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “Trust you to be a sodding romantic. Anyone else would be up for frantic, desperate, end-of-the-world sex.”

Harry laughs softly. “I’d just like a little less we might be about to die, and a little more I’d like to build a future with you.”

All Things Go

iota @sorrybutblog

Chapters: 6/6 Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter Characters: Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Dean Thomas, Ginny Weasley, Pansy Parkinson, Astoria Greengrass, Andromeda Black Tonks, Teddy Lupin Additional Tags: Getting Together, Hogwarts Eighth Year, Elements Inspired by Heartstopper, Boys Kissing, Secret Relationship, Party Games, Fluff, Smut, Light Angst, Epistolary, POV Alternating, Hand Jobs, Blow Jobs, teenagers being stupid, Weed, Recreational Drug Use, Alcohol, Intoxication, Minor Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley, Past Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley, Brief Instance of Misogynistic Language, H/D Erised 2022

Summary:

Draco’s back at Hogwarts by court order. Harry’s back for no particular reason at all. Some things change, some stay the same. Neither expects to spend eighth-year living in close quarters, playing rugby (poorly), staying up late, sneaking around, and finally figuring it all out.

Excerpt:

“I’ve ruined the fun,” Draco says.

“Yeah, sorry about that,” Harry says.

“Why are you apologising?”

“I invited you.”

“True. It’s definitely your fault that I was a teen fascist and my peers hate me,” Draco says dryly.

Harry nods, distracted. Draco surveys the room. Romilda is attempting to redirect people into a game of Spin the Bottle. Draco scoots back further.

Harry follows him back towards the wall and asks, “D’you want to get out of here?”

Draco’s mouth drops open. He snaps it shut. “Sure.”

“Right,” Harry says. He pushes himself to his feet and holds out a hand to haul Draco up too. His palm is dry against Draco’s clammy skin.

They walk swiftly towards the Chapel door. Harry turns the dial to black and they step out into the castle.

“Where does the black door lead?” Draco asks, trying to get his bearings in the dim corridor. He always exits the Chapel to the outdoors and walks across the lawns to the main doors that lead to the Great Hall.

“Not sure,” Harry says. “Hermione says it’s different every time.”

“How is that useful?”

“It doesn’t have to be useful. It’s magic.” Harry goes and sits in an alcove near a tapestry depicting a knight and a princess. Draco follows him.

Harry produces the bottle of tequila from Romilda’s game. He uncaps it and takes a sip then passes it to Draco. The mouth of the bottle is warm against Draco’s lips. He drinks dizzily, the first time he’s ever had tequila.

“I can’t believe she was trying to get people to play Spin the Bottle,” Harry says.

“I can’t believe everyone just gamely sat down for Truth or Dare.” Draco passes the bottle to Harry, who sets it on the weathered flagstones. Draco’s sleeve is still rolled up.

“That’s quite nasty, isn’t it?” Harry says, pointing to the Dark Mark.

“It makes for an okay reminder,” Draco says.

“Of what you were?” Harry asks, absurdly generous.

Draco has to take a breath. “Of who I want to be.”

Harry takes a swig of tequila, his lips shiny and wet around the glass.

“So you don’t fancy anyone at Hogwarts?” Draco asks, changing the subject, possessed briefly by some bravery he doesn’t know he had. He regrets the question the instant he asks it, the words hanging in the draughty air.

Harry ducks his head. “I… didn’t say that.”

“Ah, who’s the lucky girl then?”

“I didn’t say it was a girl, did I?” Harry asks, cheeky, then horrified.

“Oh. Are you– Do you fancy someone who’s not a girl?” Draco’s heart beats a tattoo against his rib cage.

“I–“ Harry starts and stops. “Maybe.”

The bubble of hope returns to Draco’s chest, larger now. “Have you ever kissed someone who’s not a girl?”

“No,” Harry says quickly. Then slower, quieter, “But, I think I would. Given the chance.” His eyes are massive and bright behind his glasses. Draco doesn’t know when he starts leaning forward, but once he does, he can’t stop. He tilts his head and lets Harry close the distance.

They kiss, close-mouthed and soft, the aching sweetness permeating through Draco when Harry pulls away looking dazed. They part for only a second and then Harry leans back in, his hand cupping the side of Draco’s face, fingers splaying over his neck.

Harry’s mouth is warm and wet and he tastes like liquor. Draco can’t get enough.

When they part again, Draco’s face is hot and his heart hasn’t stopped pounding and he can’t help but laugh at how strange his life has become. That he’s snogging Harry Potter in a deserted Hogwarts corridor, that he never wants to stop.

“Why are you laughing? It’s like you’ve never been kissed,” Harry says.

Draco touches his bottom lip, unable to keep himself from smiling. “I haven’t.”

Harry scrunches his nose and laughs too. They’re still sitting very close, Draco’s knees brushing against Harry’s.

“Are you– D’you want to–” Harry starts to say, but he’s already swaying into Draco’s space, crowding him, and there’s no need to say anything else.

They kiss and kiss until Draco’s lips go numb. Harry’s fingers find their way under Draco’s shirt, cold against his stomach. Draco wraps his arms around Harry’s neck and just holds on.

Eventually a strange noise breaks them apart. An hour could have passed or maybe five minutes. Draco can’t be sure.

“Mrs Norris,” Harry says, hoarsely.

Summary:

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭*⁺˚. * ･｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

The moment was weighty with meaning. There was an uncharacteristically skittish look in Draco’s eyes as the song played softly between them, reciting the last few months of Harry’s life in verse as if it had been written about him.

It had to have meaning, yet Harry filled with nerves as each bar of music rolled on. After months of denying and pushing down his feelings while trying not to read into anything Draco did, it was a terrifying bridge to cross.

The curve of Draco’s neck caught his eye. His jugular was visibly pulsing with the same rapid, nervous beat drumming in Harry’s. It settled his swimming stomach to see evidence that he felt the lyrics as sharply as Harry.

Harry gathered his courage and pulled them closer, leaning forward and dropping his eyes to Draco’s lips. He stopped well before they would touch, looking to Draco’s shadowed eyes with a question.

A trail of magic followed Draco’s hand as it slid up Harry’s arm, landing behind his shoulder. Draco pulled Harry closer as he leaned the rest of the way in. The warm light from the fireplace below threw his face into soft shadows, and the air was charged with anticipation.

Draco’s warm breath ghosted over his lips, and his nose softly bumped Harry’s. Within a second that stretched on like an eternity, they breathed in that same electric excitement buzzing in the air between them. Then Draco’s warm lips pressed to Harry’s.

His body flashed hot and cold. His heart felt like it was gearing up to jump out of his chest, and perhaps his fluttering stomach would fly off with it. He shut his eyes tight against the physical and emotional whirlwind happening inside him.

The kiss was like none other. Harry didn’t know how to classify it. He thought he’d felt the heights of pleasure with Draco, but he was wrong. They’d done nearly everything else they wanted with each other, checking off kinks and curiosities like marking off points of interest on a map during a road trip.

A single press of Draco’s soft lips to his, a curl of his hair tickling Harry’s temple, and their feet tangled together had his heart swelling and breaking through all his carefully erected barriers. Affection burst out like a caged animal feeling the sun on its skin for the first time.

A quiet whine rose up his throat, unintentional and unstoppable as his body shivered with surges of magic and his head swam with hope.

“Harry,” Draco breathed against his lips, soft and trembling with need. In it Harry heard everything he’d been unwilling to hear.

Harry pulled him closer and pressed another kiss to his lips, then another and another. Draco rolled half on top of him, his hands moving like he couldn’t decide which part of Harry he wanted to hold onto—clinging to his shoulders, squeezing his waist, gripping his hair, then finally holding his face in both hands so he could keep him in place as he laid kiss upon kiss on him.

Harry slipped his arms around him and hugged around his waist, squeezing their bodies together. Fingers dug into hot flesh and magic flared under his skin, hot and cold and right.

Draco pushed his tongue into Harry’s mouth, and he couldn’t have held back his moan if he wanted to. Draco moaned back as their tongues twisted together and lips opened and closed against each other, sucking and biting and tasting each other in the one way they’d never permitted themselves before.

Harry rolled fully onto his back, pulling Draco the rest of the way on top of him, filling his senses entirely with Draco. He was everywhere—the weight on his body, the magic under his skin, the sweet scent in his nose, and the taste on his lips. Harry felt drunk on him.

They kissed, and they kissed, then they kissed some more.

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭*⁺˚ . * ･｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

"One of the funny things about Seers, my darling Harry, is that magic done upon their persons is enhanced. Another funny thing about them is that they are very aware of the magic around them. It's very difficult to cast a spell upon a Seer that they don't know about. And I always know when you're around, Harry, you have so much magic wound up in that sweet little body of yours. Whatever you cast on me tonight outside the Manor gates, I felt it, and I could feel you with me all night. And if you don't remove the spell now, Harry, I'm going to be extremely cross." Draco had backed Harry all the way to the wall of the alley and Harry was left with no where else to run. He did as Draco asked and ended the spell.

Draco sidled up to him and laid a hand on the wall next to Harry's shoulder, effectively trapping him with his wand hand at his side against the wall. Draco rubbed his cheek against Harry's and whispered in his ear. "Did you feel me enjoying Eliot this morning through your spell, Harry? Did it make you hard as you waited in the cold? Did you come when I came, Harry? Do tell, it doesn't seem fair for the secrets to be flowing only one way."

The whole length of Draco's body was pressed up against Harry, and although he was panic-stricken, Harry's body responded. He felt completely out of control, violated, like Draco was pulling responses from him that he didn't want to give. But Draco's body felt so good against him, like water on parched earth, like a thing he'd been craving forever but didn't know how to get, or think he could ever have.

Draco slid his free hand along the nape of Harry's neck and continued down, over his nipple, which hardened under the black t-shirt, then all the way down between their bodies to cup him through his jeans. Harry bit back a groan.

"Oh, you're such a little cock tease, aren't you, my precious Gryffindor hero? Terrified, but you're hard as a rock." Draco rubbed his hand up and down and Harry did groan this time, and bucked into Draco's palm against his will. "You want me but you're too embarrassed to admit it. What would your adoring fans think if they knew you were a poofter, hmm? What would all your friends think if they knew you had a hard-on for Draco Malfoy? Death Eater, evil bastard, outcast. Not the proper sort of consort for the Prince of the Wizarding World, now am I?"

As he spoke, Draco kept touching him slowly, expertly, every stroke winding Harry tighter. "Please stop," Harry whispered, even as his traitorous hips lifted to meet his hand.

"Just barely good enough to rescue, aren't I, Harry? Good enough to follow, and spy upon, and want secretly, but not good enough to treat with a modicum of respect."

His hand moved more insistently, and Harry's body responded. Harry closed his eyes and tilted his head back against the wall, utterly at Draco's mercy.

"It was because of you, Harry, that I left tonight. But you knew that, didn't you? You knew I was drowning in the scent of you, in the green light of your eyes just the colour of the killing curse. So beautiful. I could barely sit through dinner without putting my hands on you, exactly like this. But I respected you. I respected our friendship."

He chuckled bitterly and ground his hips into Harry's as he continued to stroke him. "I wanted your friendship from the moment I saw you, when we were children. It wasn't until later that I realized everything else I wanted from you as well, everything that I would never have. To see your face like this, needing me, needing my touch, no matter how much you loathe it."

His hand moved faster, and Harry's body spasmed and he came and came, making a sticky mess inside his clothes.

Draco kissed his open mouth, plundered it with his tongue, and Harry kissed him back. It was an angry, desperate kiss lasting only a few moments before Draco pulled away.

"For everything I've done, I deserve to die a thousand deaths," he said softly into Harry's ear. "But I've sacrificed my life for you lot, and for that you owe me some consideration and a modicum of kindness."

And with that he turned and walked away, Disapparating when he hit the end of the alley.

Harry slid down the wall to the wet ground, buried his face in his hands and tried hard not to weep.
