HD Erised 2023 - Sitp recs

Hello hello! I’ve been trying to get back into the reading zone and Erised came at the perfect time. I thought I’d share my favorites as I slowly make my way through it, mostly to keep track of my reads and also because it’s been so long since I did a fest list (please don’t mind my very much incomplete Fan Fair list while I kick off another one 🙈 so much to read, so little time!). These were great fun and I can’t wait to see what’s coming up next!

🧹 Clear Skies, Full Hearts by @sorrybutblog (E, 16k)

Harry loves everything about playing professional Quidditch – the rush of flying, the rush of winning, the rush of getting off with rival seeker Draco Malfoy. Harry’s the highest scoring rookie Seeker in the history of the League. He’s also, inexplicably, obsessively, hooking up with Draco. When Draco unexpectedly quits the League and disappears from Harry’s life, Harry doesn’t stop wondering what it all meant and if he’ll ever get another chance to find out.

🪴 solemates by @shiftylinguini (E, 17k)

It starts because Harry has no self-control when it comes to meaningless and entertaining competition. Actually no, that's not quite right. It starts because Harry is absolutely plastered.

🎨 Thickets by @wolfpants (E, 17k)

When Draco returns to the UK after two decades of building his career as an internationally-renowned artist to look after his ailing, estranged father, he crosses paths with his former flame, Harry Potter, in the most unexpected way.

🚎 Sugarplum by @mallstars (E, 27k)

"Draco," said Potter, a little breathless, a little cheerful. "Hi." He smelled of coconut lotion, Cockroach Clusters and a sloppy ironing charm, his scent crowding Draco's overworked mind from the moment he stepped onto the bus. Lifting one hand off the steering wheel, Potter gave a small wave. He wore gloves. Fingerless, the leather black against the sunlight. Leather. In August.

🧶 we have heard on high by @oflights (E, 34k)

Reeling from the fallout of a bad breakup, Harry decides to find out who his soulmate is. The bad news: it's Draco Malfoy. The good news: Malfoy doesn't seem to know they're soulmates. The worst news: Harry might be falling for him anyway.

🇫🇷 À Bon Chat by @oknowkiss (E, 35k)

Draco Malfoy didn’t intend to lead a life of crime after the war. It’s just that being good had turned out so incomprehensibly boring. Now he's thirty-five, a fully redeemed member of society, the darling of the wizarding social pages, and a newly minted consultant for Gawain Robards' Investigative Research division. In his spare time, he enjoys good whisky, casual sex, and moonlighting as an art thief.

🥘 Nothing Gold Can Stay by @moonflower-rose (E, 40k)

One summer evening, Harry Potter vanished in the middle of dinner with his friends. Four days later he came back. Sort of. Draco Malfoy is on the case.

🐺 Jasmine in Bloom by @lqtraintracks (E, 41k)

This is not something Draco can have in his life… Potter overturning all that he’s carefully cultivated. They’re not compatible and never will be. Draco’s been playing with fire. It just so happens that he likes how Potter smoulders before being allowed close enough to burn.

⏳The Unplottable Time Conundrum by @writcraft (E, 45k)

When the past starts bleeding into the present at Grimmauld Place, an old academic article pulls Draco Malfoy out of his life of luxury. Haunted by the memory of a fleeting post-war kiss and thrust into the ghostly spaces inhabited by Unspeakable Harry Potter, Draco’s easy life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.

🪩 Never Mind the Bollocks by @the-sinking-ship (E, 118k)

If someone told Harry six months ago that by autumn he would be single, living on whisky and toast, and dancing the night away with Draco Malfoy, he would have told them to get their head checked. And yet, here he was.

The things that separate them also bring them together and show their dichotomy.' Those were all the things I tried to cram in here, and I had SO MUCH FUN doing it! You were a pleasure to write for. Also, there is a spoiler tag in the end notes if any of you are the sort who can’t stand not knowing!

H/D Erised 2023 fic claim: True Love Gave To Me for @bicholsdrarrysideblog

It’s the first of December, and all Draco wants to do is make Christmas lovely for Scorpius. But then Harry Potter shows up, asking him to save the world, and it turns out they’ve almost saved the world a couple of times before. One-hundred and forty-four times, to be exact. Or: what happens after the time loop?

BICHOL, I had the absolute best time writing this fic for you. I spent about five million years trolling your bookmarks (which are hilarious & you have the best taste jfc), and lovedlovedloved pining Harry + doesn’t-believe-he-deserves-good-things Draco. Add in Scorpius and just a pinch of a plot and voila: this fic was born! Thank you so much again for pinch-hitting for Erised this year ♡

This fic took a gaggle of Christmas elves, angels, ghouls, and Krampus to drag over the finish line—@citrusses and @mallstars for their incredible alpha work, and @queenie-jinny and @sleepstxtic for pushing me to fix my tenses, catching all my typos, and generally betaing this fic on a timeline that I cannot even comprehend for myself. All of you are so so so appreciated.

a little Christmas snippet ♡

It’s only as he’s pounding on the door, Scorpius holding his hand in his most darling emerald wool cloak, that Draco begins to question his actions.

It’s too late though. Harry Potter answers it.

“Draco?” He’s still in pyjamas, red and covered in tiny fluttering Snitches. They look like childrens’ pyjamas magically sized up, with how Potter’s knobbly ankles show. “How’d you get past the Fidelius?”

Draco waggles his fingers, and says, “Loop magic?” Then he immediately remembers how absolutely idiotic Pansy looks when she does that and drops his hands to his side, lickety-split.

“Hi, Potter!” Scorpius waves.

Potter’s face lights up instantly, and the gnawing ache grows inside Draco. It’s just—how can anyone just wear their feelings on their face like that? It’s not fair: not fair to Draco, not fair to Scorpius, not fair to Potter. Not fair to Draco’s heart—144 days sounds like an eternity, but it doesn’t feel like enough for Potter to—for whatever Potter’s feeling, right there on his face, for the world to see. For Draco to see.

But Draco knows he made the right choice as soon as Potter squats onto his knees and starts chattering to Scorpius. Scorpius is unusually gregarious with Potter, and Draco wonders if perhaps the finger-waggly loop magic may actually have something to do with it—the easy way Scorpius takes Potter’s hand when it took him ages to warm up to Blaise when he’d returned from abroad. Or maybe it’s just Potter: his palpable warmth, the way he acts genuinely interested in what Scorpius has to say, how his smile lights up his whole face and his eyes say I could love you; let me love you.

#erised 2023 #el mods #and el pinch-hits!!! #this is a concept that's been bouncing around my brain forever #and then getting inspiration from bichol's signup & bookmarks allowed it to actually TAKE SHAPE #tysm for the inspo bichol will forever admire your taste #and thank you SO MUCH to everyone making this erised so wonderful for my first year modding #posts i actually wrote

The Regret Machine | Rated E | 15k

Harry knows Malfoy’s shiny new office was set aside for him even before all the paperwork was signed. Harry’s been feeling a deep kind of anticipation all day, heart pounding out of his chest knowing he’ll have to look at Malfoy’s pointy little face and pointy little cheekbones again. Sure enough, Malfoy’s writing furiously at his desk when Harry walks in. His hair is in a loose low bun. His shirtsleeves are rolled up to his elbows, and the tendons in his forearms flex as he writes. Harry can’t stop himself from staring. When the fuck did Malfoy get kind of buff? “Ah, good,” Malfoy says, setting down his quill. “The lab rat is here.”

What a joy to get to participate in Erised again! Thank you to InnerLilith for betaing, and to the hardworking @hd-erised mods for everything they put into this fest.

fic claim: Former Things Come to Mind

I wrote Former Things for @mallstars and @hd-erised!

Pairing: Drarry Rating: E Word Count: 64k Summary: Harry Potter has had a headache for seven and a half years.

I just really REALLY really had a fantastic time writing this because I love when Harry and Draco are both just in pieces and must fix each other out of love, and I also got to look back on all the other stuff I've written and hide little references throughout. I just can't quit. Désolé, but not désolé.

Structurally (not to get all scholarly) I am so ridiculously proud of this fic. In inceptum finis est. I cried when I got to the end because it turned out just how I imagined it would but also because I felt quite tangled at the beginning of this year, and now I feel that my ley lines are back in place.

Finite.

Title: How To Train Your Malfoy Pairing(s): Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy, background mentions of Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger, brief but explicit descriptions of past Draco Malfoy/OMC Rating: Explicit Word Count: ~94,000 Summary: Good manners dictate that, when one’s best friend Apparates onto one’s doorstep holding the unconscious, haggard body of the schoolyard bully and begging for sanctuary, one ought to invite the two of them in for a cup of tea. Harry Potter sometimes wishes he weren’t so polite. Link: Read it on AO3! Author Notes: So, I first thought about writing something like this way back in 2018, when I wrote Men Who Love Dragons Too Much. In that fic, a character mentions that it's dangerous forcing an Animagus in transformation back into their human form, as the instincts of their animal form might overwrite their human mind, leaving them an animal in a human body. That made me think, what if someone had forced dragon!Draco back into his human form when he wasn't ready? This is the answer.

Excerpt

Harry took steps to make sure Malfoy was properly prepared for the upcoming festivities this time, drilling into him as they readied the evening’s main course (Hermione and Ron were in charge of dessert). Well, “they” readied—really it was Harry readying things, and then re-readying them after Malfoy tried to help. “And you met Hermione the once and she wasn’t so bad, right?” Harry said, whisking the eggs as he searched for errant bits of shell that might have made their way in too after Malfoy had thrown half a dozen whole eggs into the bowl at once. “I mean, you’ve met her a lot more than the once, but I’m guessing that’s something else you don’t remember, which is probably for the better. Anyway, she’s not here to take you away—unfortunately—and she’s not here to take me away—unfortunately—so there’s no need to get your knickers in a twist around her, all right? Besides, she’s, er, taken already. So triple no reason for twisting of knickers.” “‘Arry.” “Yeah, I know you don’t wear anything—I sleep with you, if you’ll recall. Which it’d be really nice if that’s one concession I could get out of you.” “‘Arry.” “I’m sure it’s cooler now, but autumn’s right around the corner for one, and for another, outside of certain special situations, it’s just good manners to wear tops and bottoms to bed when you’re sharing it with someone else.” “‘Arry?” “No, I will not elaborate on what ‘certain special situations’ are.”

FIC CLAIM: H/D ERISED 2023

What a joy it's been creating for and participating in @hd-erised this year!! I've had a blast reading and commenting on (almost) all the works and freaking out about the amazing artwork. Seriously, this community is so talented.

This fic is based on one of my favorite rom-coms, especially Kate Hudson in that iconic yellow dress. The early 2000s had some absolutely hilarious movies, so I tried to capture some of that feeling in this fic. I also made a fun little fanvid to go with it because, well, why not? It's not like I'm already super busy or anything 😂

Thank you to the mods (old and new) for running this mammoth of a fest. And thank you to @melcarrianna, my wonderful giftee, for requesting a fluffy Drarry fic with lots of laughter and lots of love.

My submission for H/D Erised 2023.

Millions of thanks to @porcelainheart3 for helping me beta this fic! I don't know how it would turn out without you =v= Probably nothing good.

Summary: On his birthday, Draco Malfoy discovered that he was a half-siren and had a mate. The problem was his mate was none other than the famous Harry Potter, aka his sworn enemy who despised him. What would he do next? On a side note, why was Harry Potter so annoyed that a certain obnoxious blond git had stopped antagonising him?

“Can’t run away anymore, huh?” Potter slammed a stack of documents on Draco’s desk. His grin looked a bit too savage for a little friendly chat between co-workers. Draco unconsciously pushed his chair back a bit. Where was the mouthy bint when Draco needed her? He was going to demote her! “I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” answered Draco with a tight smile, trying not to let his panic show. But Merlin, Potter looked good. Gone were his usual dopey smiles; the smile he had on right now was full of teeth. It looked wild and downright dangerous, like an untamed beast, especially from the angle Draco was put in. And he was so close. “You don’t understand?” Potter arched an eyebrow, faking surprise. And then, he leant in until their noses were almost touching. “About how you’ve been scurrying away like a rat whenever you see me?” It turned out, Potter didn’t just look good. He smelled good, too. ‘Calm down, Draco. You’re better than that,’ Draco mentally scolded himself. ‘Stop acting like a bird in heat.’

Fic Claim for Martyred

Erised 2023 reveals have finally come and, in addition to finding some new favorite authors and artists to follow, I get to claim my own work written for @kbrick!

This was an incredible fest and I’m so lucky I got to participate for the second year running (and in the last year for the outgoing mods and the first year for the new ones!). It’s really the end of an era (and I’m seeing clearer🎶). I enjoyed writing this work immensely and, even though I wish I hadn’t run out of time to properly polish it, I don’t think I’d have finished the fic without the structure & timeline of Erised there to push me. So I’m forever grateful to this fest.

Without further ado:

Martyred

Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy

Rating: Explicit

Wordcount: 80,000 Approx

Summary: Harry Potter only wants one thing: to take care of the people he loves. After Teddy’s abrupt departure from his role as Andromeda’s caretaker, Harry decides it’s finally time to step up and handle the job himself.

Castoff Manor, an old Black family estate, has never seemed as sinister as the stories make it sound, but it’s there that Harry stumbles upon ghosts, haunting family secrets, and a familiar, snarky blond gardener hell-bent on chasing him out. Maybe if Harry sticks around long enough, he’ll finally learn why all of Andromeda’s previous caretakers have fled without looking back.

Fair warning: prepare yourself for horror (written by a scaredy-cat), ghosts (of the ancestral variety), ogling (of the excessive, ‘is Draco Malfoy actually wearing Muggle clothes?’ variety), and a 55 year old, adrift Harry Potter diving headfirst into a bunch of ancient trauma. Full tags on AO3

Kbrick, you were a joy to write for. Your prompts were engaging and I was absolutely absorbed by every one of your fics (including this year’s fest fic, before I even knew it was you—whoa!) I’m so glad I got to write this, perhaps mostly because I ended up enjoying the story more than I ever expected.

Big thank you to use_it_well for the beta read. I know we both worked faster than we thought possible to get this done.

Thank you most of all to the commenters, both on the official Erised Header and on the fic itself. You left really touching, encouraging, hilarious things. You’re all fantastic and I thank you for giving my fic a shot.

a tiny excerpt ^.^

“Aren’t you supposed to be taking notes already?” he said slowly, seductively, while sliding his trousers down the length of his legs, until they dropped to the floor with a soft thump.

He didn’t miss Potter’s worried wince at the translucent line across his hip and right leg, which had continued to expand during his absence. The guilty act. Draco had learnt to recognise it well.

He hitched his bad leg up on the sofa. To rest it – of course.

Potter’s eyes looked like they were about to burst out of their sockets. He was putting on a valiant fight but clearly failing at the sight of Draco’s crotch and long legs on display. Draco knew his best assets well.

“Are you doing that on purpose?” Potter asked dumbly.

Draco smirked. “I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“But… why? Are you enjoying torturing me?”

He looked so defeated, Draco almost felt sorry for him. Almost.

He raised an eyebrow and smirked at him. “When did I ever not?”
