Drarry - Blog Posts

everytime i think im done with drarry (its been years..) i see a piece of art that makes me squeel and kick my feet and giggle

Timeless (Taylors Version) (From the Vault) is about James and Regulus but it's also about Nick and Charlie and Percy and Annabeth but also Darcy and Tara.

It's also about Evelyn and Celia and Alex and Henry. It's about Wolfstar and Pip and Ravi

But it's not about Drarry or Mateo and Rufus. It's not about Ash and Poppy or Daisy and Billy. Because they are "maybe in another life" romances.

The description and tags for Bitter Transmutation literally just checked off basically all my boxes for my favorite types of Drarry fics. You’re telling me it’s an 8th year fic AND Draco’s a Veela???? Fuck yes

hell ya it’s that time of the week. we got 8th year fics, animagus fics, draco harnessing the magic of shooting stars, shepherd harry being unbearably tender and hot, flirtatious holiday office parties, the drarry multi-verse told in wistful dreams! eat up, fellow yearners.

Bitter Transmutation : Cruel Transformation by @dorthyanndrarry​ - 103k, M The terms of Draco’s probation require him to finish his final year of schooling, he just wants to survive with what little dignity he has left, in face of students that hate him, falling behind on his school work, and all the strange fevers and weakness and changes… that only seem to be getting worse.

draco wants to be good. harry wants to be needed. it’s an 8th year veela fic but rly it’s draco learning to humanize others and himself via shitty creature-puberty and harry trying not to run away from his feelings. all the non-sexual intimacy and general tenderness in this fic is comforting as hell.

Owl Was Well by @fencer-x (an @hd-erised​ fic) - 66k, T Draco Malfoy is not an owl, really he isn’t. He simply assumes the shape of one on occasion when he wants to find a bit of privacy—a goal entirely thwarted because Harry Potter doesn’t understand you can’t just grab any old bird from the Owlery and force it to send your missives and deliver your packages.

god i love a truly prickly draco and a disgustingly earnest harry bc the combination breeds emotional chaos. 8th yr animagus draco going out of his way to fuck with harry only to Catch Feelings — a trope i live and die for. they’re both very scrappy in this. lots of dancing around their big mutual gay crush as they grow to begrudgingly respect each other. i personally would love the opportunity to tell off the object of my affection right before kissing them furiously.

Wish Upon a Star (As Dreamers Do) by @icmezzo - 27k, M There’s plant magic and celestial magic and dark magic and the normal magic that allows Harry to use a spell to clean his socks when Myrtle’s taken up in his laundry room again. Then there are wishes, and dreams, and love, and those are even more magical still.

harry helps out at hogwarts but mcgonagall’s asked him for help with a spell that has him fully stumped and of course he’s too proud to ask literal-wishmaker draco for help but he’s desperate and curious! there’s this breathtaking scene in a field where draco collects meteor dust beneath an endless night sky. we all lose our shit. harrys flustered bc it’s very magical and very hot of draco. feat. neville’s greenhouse, the rambunctious ghosts of grimmauld place including moody & cedric, stargazing with ur crush. literally what’s not to love.

Through the May Air, Over the Ocean by @tsauergrass​ - 44k, T Draco Malfoy never expected to find himself in Scotland or being stuck in a cottage with Potter—but wonders never cease. A story about warmth, a story about falling back in love. A story about a flock of sheep in the distant fells of Scotland.

two lonely men in the middle of idyllic shepherd pastures learning how to navigate their grief and longing for companionship. an elegiac masterpiece of a fic. there are moments so quiet and tender it aches. you want their growing love to be easy but it’s rife with mourning and fear. it makes the ending that much sweeter and earned. (also yes this was a re-read but it’s december and i live in the pacific, world of perpetual summer and humidity, so mentally i needed to be in the vastness of wintry scotland. hell ya atmospheric fics!!)

To Tame A Kitten (is to love) by @tsauergrass​ - 13k, G After the war, Harry finds solace in fostering orphaned kittens. One day, a kitten appears on his door step without explanation—and attacks him! Taking it in, he quickly finds that this kitten is nothing ordinary.

another tsauergrass rec bc im a hoe for poetic melancholy and tentative intimacy. the premise of this fic screams fluff but then you’re unexpectedly hit with harry’s longing for affection as he tries to find places to pour all that guileless love spilling out of him. the image of him smiling sadly makes me emo as hell. but rly his and draco’s loneliness are concentric circles so this is all eventually solved with hella cuddling. “I know…It’s tiring. But there are a lot of beautiful things, too” — destroyed me.

Sweet Indulgence by @the-sinking-ship​ - 10k, E It doesn’t matter that Marcy from Accounting is dancing on the tables, Shacklebolt is wearing antlers, and Elliot from Transportation is on his third round of Mariah Carey on karaoke because all the free champagne in the world won’t salvage the Ministry Christmas party for Draco if Potter doesn’t show up soon.

lecherous unhinged draco is sometimes the only characterization i care about skkdkd. most dramatic bitch alive whom i personally would die for. you must simply respect the flirtatious hustle. the promiscuous licking of a gingerbread man in the shape of ur crush, pouring champagne down their shirt, doing whatever it takes to make them laugh. it’s galaxy-brain courting bc harry is Charmed. we love our fics sexy and hysterical tbh.

Our Little Life by @tackytigerfic​ - 7k, M Sometimes Harry dreams. Only they’re not really dreams at all, and Malfoy is always in them. It’s time travel, but not as we know it, and Harry just needs a good night’s sleep.

when i say star-crossed lovers i mean this fic in its entirety i mean harry saying “I see how things could be for us, I see it all the time” i mean that part in gaudy night when lord peter tells harriet “Give me your hand, and we’ll fight on until we drop.” a thousand iterations of drarry coming together (which, extremely meta) and all that world-building in under 10k words? the skill.

I will die on the hill that Drarry and Dramione are not even close to similar. While on the outside they may seem similar: one of the a golden trio with Draco, they are not. There’s more to a ship than just those dynamics.

First is looking at the histories between Draco and Harry vs Draco and Hermione. Draco and Harry had a lot more interactions and more of a rivalry than Draco and Hermione ever did.

Second is recognizing that Harry and Hermione are NOT the same character. Not even close.

I understand where people are coming from when they say the two are similar, they only look on the surface level. But every shipper knows there’s more to it than that. Dramione is not just straight Drarry.

I’d like to point out that for the AO3 ship stats, Drarry is 6th in number of new works.

Can we talk about how amazing it is that even though Harry Potter is older that the fandom is still so active? There are also a bunch of other HP ships in the top 100.

A Side of Reconciliation

Title: A Side of Reconciliation

Rating: E

Word Count: 4,396

Summary: Draco and Harry have been sleeping for far too long without talking about their feelings. Join them on their first date and a level of awkwardness only they can achieve.

Sequel to "From Prince to Pet" but can be read as a standalone.

Excerpt + my favorite line from it below:

“Draco squirmed slightly in his chair, uncrossing and recrossing his legs to hide the small shift of his bum. Thankfully, the pristine white tablecloth of the muggle restaurant hid the dirty stain of his growing problem. Flushing a bright red, he looked up to his dinner companion. Harry, the bastard, was looking quite pleased with himself. He was wearing a Mona Lisa type smile that told you he was hiding a secret.”

““A toast.” Harry raised his glass a little higher in emphasis. “Ron, Hermione and I do this whenever we have dinner together. Hermione’s idea, although we had to shorten it. She originally wanted to say ‘to being child soldiers fighting the previous generation’s war.’ Didn’t quite roll off the tongue, a bit redundant, so we shorted it.”“

Sequel to “From Prince to Pet”

I worked on this briefly over the semester but never quite finished it. It’s not as kinky as the first one, but I did pack it full of feelings. So, in honor of finally finishing my finals, I finished and posted it. I hope you all like it! I’m trying hard to get back into the hang of writing, being a STEM major really kills the whole creative vibe.

Link can be found here.

I need to finish writing my fanfictions so that I can forget about it and then reread it and be surprised by whatever it is that I wrote.

A quick note to fellow Enemies to Lovers shippers,

(Especially younger ones)

I hate to break it to you, but you have to stop arguing with people who disagree with your ship online. (For more reasons than that it causes a toxic fanbase.) You aren't going to convince the people actively against your ship.

I know it's hard, especially because it's not just that people don't like it, but because people likely actively hate and work against your ship. Unfortunately, that's because by nature, you're shipping ENEMIES to lovers. When two characters start off opposing each other, especially with one character blatantly in the wrong, people have a hard time accepting the two could ever see eye to eye let alone fall in love.

Basically, it comes down to this:

A lot of people don't believe that others have the capacity to change. Afterall, the whole dynamic of enemies to lovers relies heavily on there being some huge change in both of their mindsets.

In shipping dynamics, I find that the people who fall into this trap of stagnant mindsets are young highschool and midderschoolers. They're probably very focused on the there and now and don't think things will change much outside of their very small worldview. They're in an awkward place where they have been heavily influenced by the few strong opinions they've experienced since birth. They haven't seen how different the world outside their bubble is. Most importantly, they're not going to suddenly change their mind on your ship. (But don't worry, they will grow.)

The truth is, people in real life marry their bullies. They switch sides in wartime for reasons other than self-interest, they reflect on their actions and with help realize what they were doing was wrong. Apologies exist for a reason. What happens in middle or high school is not the end.

Tldr, People CAN and DO change as they grow and as an enemies to lover shipper you see that. It's hard for a lot of people to accept this and your arguments aren't going to change that, only time can. So step out of shipping wars and enjoy your ship with everyone else that ships it.

It's better if you ignore it. Trust me, I ship Drarry.

HBP is truly the beginnings of a Drarry fanfic. Harry starts obsessing over Draco, realizes he isn’t all evil and instead complex, breaks up with Ginny...

JK Rowling was so close to greatness. Just a litttlllleeee more Draco character development and Drarry fans could have had it all.

(Maybe then Ginny and Luna could’ve gotten together)

I will only ship two character if

A) They absolutely hate each other in canon. Like, a full on “on sight” rivalry

Or

B) They have undeniable chemistry the writers inadvertently put in but will never actually be a couple in canon

Conclusion: I hate myself

Draco: *Confidently holding a flip phone upside down*

Harry: ...What are you doing?

Draco: Making a call.

Harry: I don't think you're doing that ri-

Draco: I think I know how to use a cellphone thank you very much.

Harry:

Harry: *Whispering* You don't have to pretend to know how these things work for me to like you.

Draco: *Putting down the dead cellphone* OHTHANKGOD.

Harry waking up to Draco

The morning sun cast shadows over Draco’s face, exaggerating already sharp features. His nose almost seemed a knife whose edge reflected darkness instead of light. It was remarkable how menacing an innocent sleeping face could become at the mercy of one simple feature. Rolling over and ghosting past the blade to reach his lips, Harry decided he would risk getting cut any day. If only for a simple kiss.

From Prince to Pet

Title: From Prince to Pet 

Rating: E

Word Count: 4,752

Summary: A series of drunken one night stands has led to this moment, the one where Draco confronts his past while in Harry's claim. After this scene, everything in their relationship might change.

Read on AO3: From Prince to Pet 

Excerpt below.

“There was only darkness. A pitch black that consumed Draco’s world, leaving him nothing. Nothing but Harry and the scratching of the carpet against his knees.

The soft swish of a foot brushing against the floor came from behind him, followed by the light thud of a footstep. Draco’s head instinctively swung in reaction to the noise, his hands twitching on his knees, begging to reach out. His entire body was aching to move. Without a single physical bond aside from the one across his eyes, he could. In theory. But the knowledge that Harry, his master, was standing behind him, watching, forced him to remain still and compliant.

Draco’s mind was confined and he was never freer.”

Who doesn't love enemys to lovers?😂 Straight people work too though just saying

Two characters, mostly from the same gender: *hate each other, always argue, say stuff like "I can't stand you anymore"*

Me: so... when are you two going to kiss I've done my waiting.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is just a matured Draco Malfoy

I need help finding a fic again because I think I’m going crazy

So basically Astoria and Draco are dating and Astoria wants to invite Harry for a threesome, and at first Draco is like ‘that’s kinda weird and I’m not gay’, but then he fucks Harry and all of a sudden he can’t stop. So from then on their sex stopped being about Astoria and started being about draco and Harry and Astoria starts to grow resentful of it. Harry and Draco end up together at the end.

I know Astoria and Harry were both in college and Draco was a little bit older than them but that’s pretty much all the detail I can muster.

I have tried so many different filters and none of them seem to be working so please if anybody knows hit my line!!!!!!

People can say what they want about Jegulus but at least we can all agree it’s better than Drarry.

Too bad Drarry’s the one that has happy endings. 😐

*Story involves Drarry (probably the only drarry I’ll ever post)

This has been floating in my head for a while:

So Regulus and James dated but then broke up and Jily happened.

Regulus doesn’t join the death eaters and they all survive the war.

So one night Harry wants his whole family to meet his new boyfriend. So James, Lily, Sirius, Regulus, and Remus are all in the living room when Harry comes home holding hands with Draco.

They all look at this emo slytherin boy who’s the son of Narcissa Malfoy née Black. Then they see this tan boy with crazy hair and the biggest smile. Sirius just bursts out laughing.

Harry doesn’t know why his dad and Regulus are staring at them in shock or why Sirius is dying laughing. He asks what’s wrong.

Sirius composes himself and just says, “Do you also happen to fancy a ginger?” Regulus kicks him out of the room for that comment.

That’s the night Harry found out his dad and Regulus used to date.

Harry is always referred to as the savior in the books, and he always hates it - but then he describes himself as such when he saves Malfoy, with a possessive pronoun as well: 'Malfoy looked around, beaming, for his savior' .. unreal

lmaoooo omg. i am deceased. you’re right. this is so great.

he's got such a crush

"your stupid face" by Kaden Mackay is THE drarry song.

This should say: "...said Harry, looking past the Ravenclaw AND Hufflepuff tables, ignoring all the Syltherins he didn't know, moving his head to squint through the crowds of people, and staring directly at Draco Malfoy as usual."

Harry Potter is a muscle twink and Draco Malfoy is a tall noodle man thank you for coming to my TED talk

I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED MY ACCOUNT NOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭
