#confident harry

[sitp-recs]

Hi Liv, I read ‘side-along’ by LQT (amazing) and now I’m craving for some hot Harry fics. Where Harry is unabashedly seductive and confident and Draco just does not know how to deal with it.

Do you already have a rec list for that ? Thanks so much darling !

Hi anon! Love that trope for us 😌🙌 if you’re looking for hot & seductive Harry you can’t go wrong with any fic by @l0vegl0wsinthedark and @lazywonderlvnd, they’re masters of smooth Harry! Some of my favourites:

Lucid by @dracoladon (2020, E, 4.4k)

Harry's not sure what makes him harder; listening to Draco talk about astronomy, or shagging Draco so thoroughly that he can't talk at all. Both, probably.

Luckiest Fucking Size Queen Alive by @l0vegl0wsinthedark (2016, E, 6k)

Potter escorts me home, presses me into my front door and kisses me with a ferocity that’s exhilarating. And then Potter asks me, in a growl that makes my cock throw a wet tantrum in my pants, how many more dates I would deem mandatory before I let him fuck me. I drag Potter to bed.

This Christmas, I Give You My Everything by @l0vegl0wsinthedark (2017, E, 6k)

This holiday season, Harry decides to claim the gift he wants more than anything else.

Aletheia by @lazywonderlvnd (2020, E, 8k) - mild dubcon, Polyjuice sex

Draco finds out Daphne's been shagging Potter and it turns out it's really not that difficult to get a piece of her hair.

The Page Eleven Wars by fireflavored (2010, E, 8.5k)

In a gossip-hungry post-war Wizarding World, Rita Skeeter has a wildly successful column in the Daily Prophet known as Page Eleven. Naturally, her favourite targets are the poster boys of the two sides of the war: Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. Bored and annoyed, the two take up tabloid baiting for sport and pleasure.

Don't Bite the Hand That Feeds You by InnerLilith (2021, E, 11k)

[In which Harry takes Draco out for Eritrean food, and Draco has a severe obsession with Harry’s hands. Smut ensues.]

Little Talks by Femme and noeon (2012, E, 11k) - the way Harry wins everyone’s heart by being a sweetheart to Scorpius is a masterclass in seduction IMO

Draco's been shagging the Head Auror for months now, and he's sure it's just a fling. Until Harry asks him to a Quidditch match, that is, and things go horribly wrong.

What’s My Age Again? by @lazywonderlvnd (2018, E, 12k)

Harry Potter has had enough of pleasing the public, and his reckless tendencies are finally getting out of hand.

Shining, Like A Present by @bixgirl1 (2017, E, 13k)

The discovery of a small silver box at the site of a case opens up new possibilities.

Can't Get You Out of My Head by Femme (2017, E, 14k) - I highly rec the whole Special Branch series

After he sees Harry Potter naked in the Auror showers once, Draco can't stop thinking about him.

Stupid Love by @the-sinking-ship (2020, E, 17k)

Harry Potter, how does Draco Malfoy hate thee? Let me count the ways.

Heart Like Neon by @lqtraintracks (2020, E, 41k)

Bored of being The Chosen One, Harry discovers he rather likes sex and becomes a professional. He’s good at it, and part of why is that he can read people. Not minds, not Legilimens, but their whole self, and he can give them what they don’t even know they want. Enter Draco fucking Malfoy, enigma to everyone, including himself. Harry can’t help but want to break into him, to figure him out. And Draco, thinking he’ll fuck Potter on a lark, has no idea what he’s in for.

A Secondary Education by Thunderbird587 (2018, E, 234k)

Fleeing the aftermath of his recent divorce, Draco Malfoy takes up a post as the new Potions Master at Hogwarts. At first he believes his hopes for a fresh start are dashed when he sees that a certain boyhood rival is on staff there as well. But Harry Potter is being weirdly nice to him, leaving Draco no choice but to play along.

table - @jegulus-microfic - word count: 215

He takes a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.

You can do this, he thinks.

But even as he approaches the table, his entire body trembles a bit.

It's not his fault. Regulus is just so fucking perfect. It's intimidating.

But James is a Gryffindor, damnit. So he continues to walk forward, stopping a few feet away from the Slytherin, who is seated with his friends.

"Erm-Reg? Regulus?" He chokes out, trying to sound more confident than he feels.

Regulus turns slowly, eyes moving up and down James's face as if scanning him for his intentions. James tries to look calm and genuine. "What is it, Potter?"

"There's...there's, er- there's a Hogsmeade trip. Tomorrow." James starts, feeling like an absolute loser.

Regulus nods, lips quivering just slightly. "I've heard."

"Would you maybe go with me?" James forces out, trying to ignore the way half the Slytherin table is watching him now.

Regulus appraises him for half a second, and it is the longest half a second in James's life. Then, he smiles just slightly and says, "Yes, James. Of course I'll go."

And James breaks into a huge grin, nodding and returning to the Gryffindor table, ignoring Sirius's gagging noises and Remus and Peter's wolf-whistles.

He has a date with his boyfriend.

Oh India, reading your tags for the latest post about Louis´ sexuality -

I think of everyone Louis was the most comfortable with himself the earliest and that confidence is a big part of why *Harry* is the way he is having someone like Louis love and accept you for everything you are so early in life would change anyone and make them confident

Preach!!! I mean I´m not here for that long but I immediately understood that it was Louis, Louis and only Louis who made Harry the way he is now and the way he represent himself, the way he´s comfortable with himself and having confidence to bring some of his most bold and extravagant looks. Because Louis always encouraged him to do it. From encouraging him to paint his nails, to wear a dress if he wants to or that he would look nice even with shaved hair. It just makes me mad that noone *couch couch harries couch couch* knows it by now. He´s the most supportive boyfriend everyone would wish to have tbh.

Honestly, I believe this down to my bones.

As someone who has battled insecurity her whole life, and has Louises in her life, I’m so acutely aware of how that one friend can change your outlook on yourself so completely just by showing up for you and really being like “I love you for everything you are. You can be as weird as you like.”

And that’s platonic love. I cannot imagine the power of having that in a romantic partner and at sixteen no less. That’s the kind of love that makes you invincible, especially if you’re naturally offbeat (which Harry clearly has always been, bless his goober heart). It could have easily gone the other way without that kind of unconditional support and love — really, really easily too, considering management and the pressure Harry was under as a “heartthrob”.

I think what’s especially amazing is Louis was saying things like “just do the whole nail, for God’s sake!” in the early 2010’s, when there was almost zero mainstream conversation about gender expression, and people were still saying shit like “no homo”. And he was saying that at eighteen or nineteen — usually an extremely impressionable age to perform traditional masculinity particularly when surrounded by boys and constantly under public scrutiny.

Thinking about it with that level of nuance and hindsight, you can clearly see that Louis’ confidence and encouragement and love was absolutely extraordinary and waaaaaaaay more mature for, not only his age group, but the time.

In conclusion, Louis is just fucking wonderful, thanks.

Related to this.

Some of you are expecting show Percy to act like the Last Olympian Percy or Son of Neptune Percy. "why can't he use his powers?" He's hasn't them learned yet. "Why aren't their epic battle scenes?" He has no training. "Why is he so under powered" he's not at that level yet! Percy in the show didn't have a Luke training montage, he doesn't really know how to properly use a sword. He spent like what a week or so at camp? What do you want him to be OP right out of the gate?The second he knows he's has water powers to master them? You need to wait, he needs to progress and get more confidence. Then he'll get better and be able to fight and use his powers.

overcompensatingly superstar harry misunderstanding "In the dark times, should the stars also go out?" thinking it means he shouldn't deprive the world of a mega superstar by killing himself. good for him I guess

I like to think that they loved each-other, once.

also yall we need to step back from the harryvision and understand that kim, at his core, is a loser (affectionate) like everyone else. so much out there wants to portray him as limitless patience, great cook, super organized, good handwriting, nice tasteful living quarters etc and that's fun to contrast him to harry but well i am here to RUIN that we need to take off the du bois glasses and appreciate kim for the weirdguy that he is. he has horrific fits of road rage and harry genuinely fears for his life riding along with him and witnessing the generational curses this man is capable of unleashing upon the stupid little fucks that cut him off on the 8/81. he has never had the time or space or budget to learn to cook so he lives off deli sandwiches and butter noodles and the occasional grab-and-go fruit. he writes so much so frequently with such awful handwriting that he has invented a new form of shorthand and the moralintern is contacting him to create a cipher system for them. he has no resources to furnish and maintain a nice flat so it's like a slightly gentrified r/malelivingspace but with a table for his sewing machine and there's scrap fabric and thread and half-pinned half-hemmed pants strewn about the place. there are absolutely a bunch of shitty mockups of his old wirral character in the backs of his notebooks and he hasn't played it in years but if he ever picks it back up then his minmax high int high dex definitely-not-a-self-insert sidhe artificer is READY. everyone add your weirdguy kim thoughts NOW 👇

#the 'kim is so cool and confident etc' illusion shatters the moment martinaise is over and harry knows him outside of the one case #harry will be starry eyed about him for a long time regardless. but harry knows More now #harry like kim i dont know how to cook for myself please help :( #kim comes over. they attempt a dinner. the vegetables turn out undercooked but burnt somehow. the pasta is limp. #the chicken gives them food poisoning. #'are you... bad at cooking?' harry asks. kim pulls the eyebrow. they drop the conversation and harry never asks again #harry decides to try out wirral with a local group and tells kim. kim goes full nerd mode #kim walks him through character creation and gives him a full rules rundown from memory #introduces him to the prominent ttrpg settings and lore. it's a literal 8 hour conversation #at the end of it kim says 'and that's the basics' and harry gives him a Look and kim is like ah. i may have told on myself a bit there. #anyway that ends in harry DEMANDING to see kim's wirral character #kim (embarrassed) (proud of his character) (ashamed) (really wants to talk about his character) (needs help with backstory details) #anyway they end up workshopping their characters together. #kim at the end is like 'hm maybe your guy can be in mine's backstory' and harry goes '😣👉👈 is this first base...' #kiwipost #harry du bois #kim kitsuragi

biting clawing screaming crying desperate for more content about the lovely terrible mother-son relationship between Janeway and Kim. it's SO unhealthy I love it

#so youre a starship captain on your first assignment #youre a little nervous but you're confident. you deserve this #there's a young man on your crew roster. he's fresh out of the academy #but you have a good feeling about him so you send him to the bridge for his first post #suddenly its all gone to shit. you're stranded 70k light years from home and a lot of your crew is dead. #to make matters worse that young man has been kidnapped #you manage to get him back #but you're still stranded. theres a lifetime of travel in between you and home. #and you see that young man #who you KNOW has never been on a deep space mission before. never been home away for so long #whose parents called you just before shit went down to say he forgot his clarinet #you see him put on a brave face. and you know you have to get him home at all costs #star trek voyager #voy #captain janeway #kathryn janeway #harry kim #toadtalks

headcanon that james potter has a horrendous sense of style

I'm talking mixing clashing patterns and colours, and not in the chic way

someone said that he's colorblind AND I BUY IT

or maybe he isn't but he says it just so people don't judge him too hard

lily and reg buy all of his clothes after hogwarts

one of the au requests, thank you @liquidluckandstuff because I almost missed May without drawing a mermaid and didn't even realize it ;0;

Mermaid Tom wants Harry to keep hanging out in the water with him but it's getting late and Harry just wants to dry off so he doesn't catch a cold 🐟

Harry flourished a bow tie at Moist and said, "I hate these damn things, I mean, what's the point?" He growled. "Got another bloody civic thing on tonight, Effie just thrives on them. I told her I'm busy, what with dealing with the railway, but she's determined to make a better man of me. And all this business about what knife and fork you eat from, it's a deliberate puzzle set out to make a simple bloke like me feel like a stranger. Whatever you pick up isn't going to change what the food tastes like, but Effie presses my knee hard if I gets it wrong.

"She wants me to have electrocution lessons, gods be damned, and I'm putting my foot down about that one. Knobs or not, I'm still Harry King and I'm still going to sound like Harry King. And I told Effie that I don't mind giving the money away to orphanages and suchlike--I like to see the face of the little kiddies light up like daisies--it's the swank I don't like and all the incessant chattering when I could be doing good work in my office. Effie says it's knoblyess obligay, but just because I've got a lot of knobs I don't have to accept it, right? It's a terrible thing when a man can't be himself, knobs or no knobs."

Also if you compare Hermione to a character like Annabeth functionally they have the same role within the story. They are there to drive the plot and be a walking encyclopedia for the reader/main character. And yet where Hermione gets shoved aside and all the cool shit she does happens in the background you get Annabeth doing badass shit right up front. Like, if Annabeth did any of the shit Hermione did it wouldn't be brushed off the way it was. If Annabeth made her family forget her, turned someone into a bug and trapped them in a jar, knitted hats to free elves, any of that shit then Percy would be beside her 100% he would be in awe and absolutely terrified at her power and dedication. But what we get from Harry basically amounts to "Thanks nerd. Anyways, what's my next task?"

#I'll never not be mad about how jkr treated hermione #She deserved better #Draco deserved better too #Because he's so fucking flat #We never fucking learn his true motivations #And how he acts doesn't match up with what we're told about him #That shit doesn't make sense #That's why in so many headcanons Draco is abused or manipulated by his family #Because a child with a healthy family dynamic doesn't act like that #And a kid that grew up in a neglectful household doesn't fucking act like harry #He's confident and outgoing and charming #Ain't no kid that comes straight out of neglect gonna be like ~time to piss off my teachers~ #That's where people pleasers and perfectionists come from #I'm done ranting lmao #I just have feelings about this #Harry potter #Hp #Percy jackson #Annabeth chase #percabeth #pjo #Hermione granger #Text #Text post #Rant #Bookblr

Raimi Harry being a playboy is a common misconception and misinterpretation with very little backing existing as a Frames Janco induced Mandela effect.

That being said, while he isn’t a playboy, he’s definitely a slut.
