#dramatic love confessions

[sitp-recs]

Do you have any recommendations or tags for stories that have a dramatic love declaration?

Of course! I listed below my absolute faves as they left a big impression when it comes to love confessions. Whenever I get asks about this I crave for a Grey’s Anatomy AU emulating this scene with Lexie *sigh* (I always think of Far From the Tree when I see it though…)

An Emerald In The Sky by @corvuscrowned (M, 6k)

The hardest part about shagging an Unspeakable is that they’re not allowed to speak of anything. All Draco knows is that Harry works in Time. Harry works in Time, and while he’s out there in all of that time, it is as unforgiving to him as it is to anyone.

The Eighth Tale by lettered (E, 12k)

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

What Real Thing? by @l0vegl0wsinthedark (E, 12.6k)

They don’t cuddle, they don’t talk about their relationship (or lack thereof) and they certainly never fall asleep in each other’s arms.

White as Snow by @bixgirl1 (E, 19k)

After a quick escape from danger, Harry and Draco find themselves trapped in a blizzard, a small cabin their only refuge from the storm. It's the perfect place to recover and regroup — and to have a long-overdue conversation or two.

The Boy Who Only Lived Twice by lettered (E, 54k)

Harry Potter is an Unspeakable. Draco Malfoy is the wizard who shagged him. Adventure! Intrigue! Secret identities, celebrities, spies! It's all right here, folks.

We Are Young (I'll Carry You Home Tonight) by Femme (E, 68k)

Harry and Draco have been falling into bed on and off again since the last election five years ago, much to the amusement--and financial gain--of their circle of friends.

Tea and No Sympathy by who_la_hoop (E, 70k)

It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always.

Azoth by @lol-zeitgeistic (E, 88k)

Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.

Far From The Tree by aideomai (E, 112k)

The arrival of Harry Potter’s children—snapped back in time, the children themselves guessed, twenty or so years—was the most interesting thing to happen at Hogwarts for years.

What We Pretend We Can't See by gyzym (M, 131k)

Seven years out from the war, Harry learns the hard truth of old history: it’s never quite as far behind you as you thought.

Dwelling on Dreams by @the-sinking-ship (E, 135k)

Draco thought he could avoid Potter for the duration of his brief return to England. He’d stick to his schedule and be back home in Paris, where he belonged, in a few short months. No trouble at all. He had plenty to occupy him, what with the opening of the London branch of his successful apothecary, his innovative research, drinks with Pansy, a backlog of unread potions periodicals.

By the Grace by lettered (T, 140k)

Harry is an Auror instructor. Malfoy wants to be an Auror.

These Secrets In Me by Femme (E, 357k) - part 3 of Tales from the Special Branch series

Auror Special Branch team seven-four-alpha--Sergeant Draco Malfoy, Constable Pansy Parkinson, and Constable Blaise Zabini led by their SIO, Inspector Harry Potter--must handle personal and political fallout from the implication of Ministry employees and Aurors in the scandal around escaped Death Eaters and a Dementor uprising at Azkaban. On top of that, their original target, Antonin Dolohov, is in the wind.

You know how I want Buddie to happen? Softly. Lovingly. Quietly. Like, maybe they're spending the day together. In the kitchen, cooking together (buck is teaching eddie a new dish, his hands guiding, teasing him when eddie cuts the ingredients haphazardly) or cleaning up (washing dishes and passing it to be dried, eddie humming gently, a song that buck can't recognise but feels familiar and it makes him feel warm with fondness from head to toe) and their fingers barely touch and they make eye contact and just... everything stops around them.

It's just BuckandEddie in this small bubble they've created for themselves. And there's a million things flickering in their eyes but eventually, they smile softly at each other, knowingly, and then they break the eye contact and continue what they're doing. After they're done, both of them lean in close, brush their nose together, and share a kiss. It's sweet and short and they're both smiling. And then they move on like nothing happened. But they go to work tomorrow, and everyone knows something did and they just stare at each other from across the table letting hen and chim's questions float around them and ignoring bobby's raised eyebrows and they share a smile, soft and knowing and chim and hen absolutely lose it, chim is already dialing maddie and hen has whipped out her betting pool book and Buck laughs and Eddie ducks his head shyly. It's pretty telling.

#buddie #soft boys in love #yeah we like dramatic love confessions #but there's just something about this utterly soft way of falling in love #of just going “oh it's always been you” #evan buckley #evan buck buckely #eddie diaz #911 abc

okay wait laughingstock concept Incoming: so im imagining some of the neighbors (maybe Julie & Frank) noticing that Barnaby & Howdy are a lil fruity, yk yk. and Julie's like damn, i guess we have to play matchmaker here.

so naturally they wind up getting the whole neighborhood involved. everybody's a wingman here. Poppy's dropping hints when Howdy drops off groceries, Wally is constantly asking Barnaby to go get him things from the bodega, etc etc. Howdy and Barnaby are facing this sudden change in town-wide behavior with slight concern and bemusement

eventually - lets say Julie, Sally, and Wally - get Barnaby into the bodega and then abruptly leave like "don't have too much fun without us you two *wink wink nudge nudge*". once they're gone (read: very obviously hiding outside & watching through the window) Barnaby & Howdy turn to each other like:

Barnaby: you think we should tell them we're already married?

Howdy: let them have their fun - they'll figure it out eventually

#dont have the mental fortitude to Draw This but i still wanted to share the thought #'but how would no one notice that theyre literally married' #easy: theyre very relaxed and secure in their relationship. also howdy has a strict 'no pda at work' rule #also because its funny. we can stretch rationality for the Bit cmon now #through the power of the bit Anything is possible #and we all know the neighbors are Peak Sillies so. yk #it strikes me that once they get Bored of the constant 'matchmaking' #barnaby and howdy stage this whole thing where they 'confess' to each other So dramatically and So publicly #they make it an Event #sally is swooning from the drama and spectacle of it all. wally is trying to paint the moment as fast as possible #julie is so excited she's close to passing out. eddie is crying. so is poppy. frank is taking the credit. home is just happy to be there #as soon as barnaby and howdy retreat out of sight they burst out laughing for a solid ten minutes #GAH THE BRAINROT THE BRAINROT #laughingstock #wailing and sobbing they are so so good together and FOR WHAT FUCKING REASON #i cant even put it into words they just Fit! like puzzle pieces! #theres something so natural about em. i look at them and its like. they Would be perfect for each other huh #i already know theyd have such a healthy wholesome relationship They Just Work. Theyre The Dream Couple #howdy says the most confusing sentence ever said. barnaby nods along with genuine love in his eyes. etc. you get it #now watch! canon is gonna absolutely set this on fire! #which would be Fun. painful. but Fun. seriously tho im curious as to how/if barnaby and howdy will interact/develop.... #i mean personally i love it when shit gets messy so i hope it Hurts So Bad or at least Goes Downhill #i hope its a rollercoaster on all accounts

Just thinking about Lloyd as the Quiet One

He was tossed aside and forgotten about so long ago he doesn't recall a time anyone ever thought of him. This boy needed love or at the very least attention, his father was evil surely there was something he could do to stand out. Something this lost child could do earn his fathers love.

He raised an army that tossed him aside. He fought the chosen ninja and that should have been his moment in the history books. It was never meant to be, he thinks. Watching from the shadows as a girl his age just as sad and broken as he, was brought into his uncle's home and given the keys to destiny itself. This girl fought his father and broke Garmadon free from the dark whisper on the blackest night, better known as The Overlord. She even cured him, though not completely. Garmadon's memories under the venom's influence flash in his mind like a dream. He remembers a woman, a father, a child, and a fight that sent him to another world but nothing is clear. And he can't remember their names. Surely if he can't recall the names of people he vaguely dreamed of loving, they must not have been important.

It must have been a dream.

The forgotten son gives himself a new name. The Quiet One, you don't see him until it's over. His hands leaves their mark on his victims and his enemies that don't know they are enemies. Yet no one has seen his face. His influence in the world is gentle nudge, things just just needed something small and forgettable to add to the pot and cause it to boil over. The Quiet One made a list of all the people who wronged him. All the people who had forgotten him.

At this point, it shouldn't have surprised him when no one recognized him. When he screamed into the void "Look at me!" and no one answered. When his father died, and his mother after having disappeared all those years came to the funeral, no one bothered to call him. His own mother passed this forgotten child waiting by the statues in the Corridor of Elders, for just a moment to look into her eyes. But she didn't see him, a polite nod acknowledging the presence of this stranger and proving he wasn't a ghost. His dreams of reunification were crushed to dust as he was overlooked by the one person in the world who was meant to love him.

It didn't surprise him when no one in their wildest imaginations or forgotten dreams guessed that it was him. The welp from the serpentine attacks could never have grown to be so dangerous. Surely if he were evil the ninja, his mother, or anyone would have noticed. In the depths of the faintest recollections this child was harmless so why worry.

Years later, a leather and blood bound faction that call themselves the Sons of Garmadon terrorize Ninjago City. They disgraced his memory with a dark promise to disturb the eternal peace of the beloved Sensei Garmadon as an evil husk to destroy Ninjago. And not a soul, not a one could understand why.

With the rattle of heavy chains, a red lollipop, and an evil laugh they've long forgotten about, they suddenly remember.

A boy with no home, no family, and no love left in his heart. A boy who's goal is to punish everyone for daring to forget his name

The Son of Garmadon.

I have a special place in my heart for a scene akin to the one at the end of Return of the King, where the four hobbits sit down at the pub and have a drink together in remembrance of all that had occurred, and Sam finally plucks up his courage and goes to talk to Rosie.

Except in this version he plucks up his courage and says to Frodo that he'd like to talk to him alone.

And then they step out behind the establishment and Sam tells Frodo how he really feels, and Merry and Pippin are spying and trying not to break out into giggles and cheers from behind the nearby hedge, or possibly trash-heap.

Nickel actually applauds Six-shot when he locks Tarn and the Nurse in the supply closet.

She whacks his knee with a wrench. "Tell me you're stealing my personnel!" (Hook is still trying to persuade, blackmail, howl, and all sorts of things to get one of them into his Division. Even after a compromise of Nickel helping the newbies or half-trained ones with some basics and Nurse whipping up effective concoctions from limited supplies whenever the D.J.D. are around.)

Kaon sends Sixshot a gift basket via the Pet because some mech would attempt to steal the package.

does anyone else listen to epic sweeping instrumental music while imagining their blorbos making dramatic love confessions to each other or is that just me

#currently my brain's only mode has been ''medieval au go BRRRRR'' #and my medieval AU has one of my most dramatic love confessions #so the scene has been spinning in my head like a rotisserie chicken and i just found the perfect music to imagine it to

Trying to regain the motivation to actually draw something but in the meantime take this 💥💥💥

#atari.png #❥ the prince and the little mermaid #I like the dynamic we have going on it's kind of silly . I love her #I'm like one of those over the top romantic shoujo anime characters with the dramatic love confessions and all #Well except none of it is ROMANTIC but you get my vision. #Realizing also I once again accidentally made myself look taller than he is. It's okay. He's just sitting in her gamer chair or something

skipping around scenes in the sidalia wip and spiraling about alia helping sid bandage his injuries in the forgotten knight after dealing with myste and realizing how much he’s put up with for her, how he said he respects her and will be there for her if she needs him even after all of it, and that he potentially could’ve died before she could tell him that night in tailfeather months ago meant something to her and she loves him. and so she finally finds the courage to say it in the middle of his inn room

#she’s a lil dramatic but i think after losing her first love the way she did. she’s entitled to a dramatic second love confession #especially after repressing it for so long shdghd #dani.txt #alia/sid

Ok so Loki s2 have been very fun and relaxed with the Lokius dynamic, not trying to downplay it or no-homo it but instead have embraced it and made it feel genuine, funny, heartwarming etc. Like whether canon or not, they haven't tried to aggressively deny any possibility.

So with all that said,

#lokius #loki s2 spoilers #loki s2 #marvel #loki #amanda rambles #i HAVE NO FAITH IN THE LAST EP #LOOK. #it is so set up for them to do it OKAY but i have no trust KKFHKIUHKJ #ALSO: them not being together at the end is not a no homo ending imo #neither is one of them dying technically #like if it's heartbreaking and dramatic and good and kept vague as now then it is FINE #like i want them together and i have a few versions of hwo that can be but like #confessing their love and immediately dying is a funny answer but is NOT WHAT THIS POLL IS ABOUT #THIS IS ABOUT WEIRDLY AGGRESSIVE REJECTION OF LOKIUS AS A POSSIBILITY #which i wouldnt be surprised by tECHNICALLY #it's just that #5 out of 6 episode has instead LEANED INTO IT so id be shocked now but #ive also seen theories by fans so now im worried #almost didnt added blurry wife bc i feel like if they had it but made it obvious loki was heartbroken it mightve been ok #this poll will expire AFTER last episode is released and that haunts me #ALSO i feel like there are even more superspecific options but i couldnt come up with it this is what i got for now so feel free #to pick other and write in tags #the homophobic options are a bit limited with only one episode but i feel like they can pull through

Wren Martin Ruins It All

YA contemporary romcom

student council president proposes to cut the school valentine’s dance because it's expensive and alienating for queer/single people, but instead the vice president (who he adamantly hates for being perfect) suggests they get sponsored by a popular friendship app

he decides to secretly give the app a go to “know his enemy” but ends up making a friend, and starts to catch feelings for him...and maybe realises the guy he hates isn't actually so bad either...

ace mlm MC, aro-questioning side character

I loved this so much! great MC with a funny internal monologue

despite the title most issues or misunderstanding are sorted out pretty quickly rather than drawn out for the drama and plot. which is refreshing

I was a little nervous about the concept of ‘ace hates the school dance and wants it shut down’ - there's a bit of a stereotype of aspecs being boring Fun Haters - but I think it did a really good job of showing the specifics of why, not dragging it out, and also that he’s just a snarky fun hater in general with not much weight behind it.

There’s also no discovering of sexuality or big coming out (just one-on-one) - he already knows he’s ace, and it comes up naturally a bunch, talking about how dances etc can feel isolating, the way the friendship app called buddy being called ace-friendly can feel infantilizing, avoiding dating because of the stress of having to check upfront if people about it, etc.

I would have liked to know more about his relationship with his mum? Though I understand that it’s clearly something he avoids thinking about - going too deep into his relationship with his parents might have changed the tone a lot. but still.

But it also doesn’t feel emotionally anticlimactic. #(maybe a couple of the reveals in the confession felt unnecessarily dramatic to me? like the story would have functioned without them. ) #but it's common for comtemporary ya to overdramatise silly things for the plot and im glad this didn't #possibly this is just my adult opinion about teen narratives. #The adult characters (even though they’re mostly background) feel like real people. #and it has some good friendships. also he has chickens and they are very good #it did become increasingly obvious that it was the same ppl but also they’re emotionally stupid. and like….it's part of the genre. #we all know this going in.
