Happy Drawtober!! Day 1: Necromancy

All of mine will not be to this level as that would probably be way too daunting, but since it’s the weekend I can commit a little more effort to my prompts for sure 🫠✨ I had quite a few ideas of where to take this and I’m really happy with the finished drawing.

I dunno, Draco, was it really all worth it?

He circled Draco, suddenly lost in the house he’d mapped so well as he made excuses to get close: refreshing Draco’s drink for the opportunity to see Draco react to the ghost of their fingers touching, referring Arthur to him during a discussion about Muggle technology so he could listen to Draco’s quietly-assured speech patterns, fetching Fearful at the first mention of him. Almost sick with jealousy when the little snake slithered up Draco’s arm and curled around his bare neck, making Draco laugh, or when anyone else did, or when Draco smiled at anyone who wasn't him. Feeling shaped around Draco’s presence, and blank when he got pulled away, and overheated when Draco’s gaze sought him again. - That Old Black Magic (Chapter 5) by bixgirl1

Drarry Fic Rec: Set Eight

Grounds For Divorce by @tepre 122,217 words, E

Malfoy finds a coin. Harry finds a letter. A story about histories, a story about families. A story about a lemon tree somewhere in Upper Egypt.

That Old Black Magic by @bixgirl1 77,777 words, E

Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm — ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war… with Draco Malfoy.

Stain of Silence by Brummell 28,356 words, E

After the war, Draco serves out his sentence in Harry Potter's house.

Lessons in Grace and Decorum by GallaPlacidia 48,977 words, NR

In Azkaban, Narcissa Malfoy gives Draco lessons in how to manipulate people into loving him. When Draco is released on the condition that he is bonded to Harry as his prisoner, he finally has a chance to put his newfound skills into practice.

This set includes stories where Harry and Draco are bound together - either magically or by circumstance. All of them feature the boys being forced into closeness, one way or another. This, of course, contains all the angst you would expect from that premise. Here, you'll find emotional distance, disconnected realities, startling intimacy, and tragic love, seemingly rooted in rot. I also noticed that in all of these stories, the two of them are somehow confined together at Grimmauld Place for a while. So, if you are a fan of that creepy old house, these might be for you!

All of them begin shortly after the war, with Harry and Draco still raw and exhausted and with no empathy for the other. These stories each illustrate their changing understanding, helped along by compulsory proximity.

'Grounds for Divorce' is probably the most mellow story in this set. It starts off pretty angsty, but their relationship grows and blossoms into something kinder over time. It's also carefully crafted, and the (magical) bond between Harry and Draco is described so tangibly, I sometimes felt it in my own toes.

'That Old Black Magic' starts off with a toxic and antagonistic physical dynamic. It has a gripping, fucked-up, and charged relationship between the two boys and handles the implications of a forced magical marriage wonderfully.

'Stain of Silence' doesn't include a bond or marriage of any sort; instead, Draco is bound to Harry by the law. This leads to an uneven power dynamic between the two of them, which gives the whole story a gloomy tinge. It is beautifully written, painful, and sharp. Ginny is portrayed as especially hostile towards Draco. So if you are in need of a good Draco/Ginny bromance afterwards, I suggest you scour the internet for 'Lessons in Grace and Decorum' — which also includes bonded Drarry due to Draco's sentence, lots of sadness and an uneven power dynamics. But a fun friendship between Draco and Ginny. So, Enjoy!

Born on this day: Anton LaVey (11 April 1930 – 29 October 1997), founder of The Church of Satan, musician, author of The Satanic Bible and the man who shamelessly melded Vegas-style show business and publicity stunts with devil worshiping. Here’s “The Black Pope” as he appeared in the 1969 Kenneth Anger short film Invocation of My Demon Brother. LaVey’s friendship with doomed sex kitten-gone-berserk Jayne Mansfield is explored in Mansfield 66/67, the delirious and lurid 2017 fever dream / documentary by Todd Hughes and P David Ebersole.

For me Jerry's version is absolutely the best, even compared to Sinatra's. And as I wrote in my post a few days ago Dean Martin never sang this song.

« Judy Garland, in effect, had become Johnny Mercer’s muse, as Maud Gonne had been for William Butler Yeats, and he loved the “pilgrim soul” in her with a passion that lifted—and plunged—him to new levels of lyrical rapture and anguish. Without her, his lyrics might be remembered today as clever, vernacular, jazzy evocations of the swing era. Because of his love affair with Judy Garland, and his timely collaboration with Harold Arlen, the lyrics of Johnny Mercer endure as timeless standards that register romantic agony as poignantly as any songs in the history of American popular music.

(…)

Mercer gave voice to his longing for Judy Garland in “Skylark,” celebrated her sensuality in “That Old Black Magic,” and stoically bemoaned her loss in “One for My Baby,” but it was to a simpler melody by Victor Schertzinger, “I Remember You,” that he wrote most openly about his love for her. “I wrote it for Judy Garland,” he told a Savannah friend. “I always had such a crush on Judy Garland I couldn’t think straight, so I wrote this song.”

I remember you,

You’re the one who made my dreams come true,

A few kisses ago. »

(Philip Furia, Skylark: the life and times of Johnny Mercer)

“It was unbearable to Harry, how much someone could change, how he could have been so deliberately blind to it. And unbearably lovely, the quiet acceptance curtaining him — that he was changing, too. A shift was happening inside him, unlikely as the weather had been that year.”
