Random Fandom Week 12 [Shameless]

I probably shouldnt have done this. Im only halfway trough the series, when for some reason, I thought it would be great idea the check if there are any good fics. Because this is good show, its pretty popular and the characters are just pretty damn awesome. But now I have kind of destroyed the show in my head. I have spoiled myself about stuff and I know the ending (like I didn't know from the start that Ian and Mickey will marry at the end, everyone knows that but there are details that I did not know, didn't want to know). Now tt kind of feels like I will not finnish the show, I'll probably just read all the fics and be happy about myself. Or hate myself. Something.

So basically my whole fic hunting was all about finding complete fics that are not a crossover. Thats it. But I still have not come across a one fic where Ian and Mickey aren't the main couple. Okay. Maybe I haven't tried that hard, but its only been a week. Or more like four days or something. So I have not had the time to go to the deep end.

Its not even that I dont like Ian and Mickey. Its more about how Fiona (and maybe Lip) are my favorite characters and Im just a little bit lost. This is not saying I have not enjoyed every fic and haven't really found a new fandom where I'll be lost the next forever. More just saying that, this was not what was my plan. 

These fics were chosen because they are oneshots. I'm not ready to read anything with zillion words and million chapters worth of fiction right now. So oneshots it is. The only problem is picking the fics, because there are so many good ones. And after this, I will probably find even more better fics. So enjoy this whole mess that this week has been for me. 

Fake It Till You Make It by missmichellebelle 

“Remember that one time you asked me to do that thing for you, and I never asked any questions, and you didn’t explain a fucking thing, but I did it anyway? Do you remember what you said? That you owed me? Big time? I'm calling in that favor.” 

In which Ian did a stupid thing and Mickey is there to bail him out. What are best friends for, right?'

Every fandom has at least one fic with faking the whole dating thing. This is it in Shameless. Even if its less about faking and more about not communicating. Which is kind of weird, because in every other fic, these two are rocking the whole communication thingy. But not here! Here they are just a big hot mess.'

you are inked on my skin long before we begin by milominderbinder 

Mickey’s always been scared of getting his words. The words which start to show up a couple of weeks before you meet your soulmate, somewhere on your body, beginning so pale they’re barely legible and gradually fading into inky black; the words which will be the first your soulmate ever says to you. He’s hoped that he’ll be like Terry and never get them at all, because he knows that when he meets his soulmate, it’s gonna be a guy, and that’s dangerous, too dangerous to be worth it. 

So of course, with his luck, he gets them when he’s only seventeen. 

This is that soulmate fic. I had two options for this one and picking one was almost impossible. The only reason I picked this in the end, is because this is longer. There is more to enjoy, more missery and just more everything. Thats it.

there ain't nothing that I need. by milominderbinder

“I ain’t fucking parenting anybody,” Mickey says, “but Jesus, of course we’re gonna make sure they’ve got food and aren’t sticking their fingers in the light sockets, and that someone’s around for the little one til her mom gets bailed out of jail. They’re your family.” 

 “Your family too, now,” Ian points out, “Since you married my ass.” 

Newlywed, living in the family home, and keeping an eye on both Liam and Franny while all other guardians are unavailable, Ian finds himself thriving on the new domesticity of his life. Surprisingly, it seems like Mickey does, too. 

Domestic life fits them perfectly. The whole family life, with kids and house work. Everything. Its just so in character, in fandom, in everything. The whole vibe is just spot on. Usually I get bored while reading fics with this much boring, everyday life. But with these two, they deserve it so much that I just cant not read it. 

Student Pick Up by OreoLuvr13 

Much to Liam and his classmates’ surprise, Mickey picks him up from school. 

One other thing I love about this fandom, is the support they give to each other. How they are always there for each other and how they are just a one huge family. Yea, Gallaghers are siblings, but V, Kev and Mickey are just as much as family as everyone else. And it shows. 

Together by golden_gardenias 

Carl Gallagher needs definitive proof that his brother is in a relationship with the neighborhood thug, and boy does he get it.

I have not made my mind about Carl. Sometimes I like him, most of the time I just don't understand him and all the rest is just a big mess. But I like reading fics about these two from other people's perspective. Its fun, entertaining and brings something else to the fandom.

This time the +1 part is two stories. Or more like one story but its in two parts. Or more like, one story but two versions. Something like that.

wide-eyed walker by spock 

Ian meets him at a bar. It becomes a thing, but they never do get around to exchanging names. 

do not wander by spock 

"So, how'd you two meet again?" 

Before I had even decided about making this blog post, I had decided this would be the +1 part. Because I really liked the Ian part of the story, I liked how he got hooked on Mickey and just went back. But then I read the Mickey version and I just coudn't get enough. I just wanted to read more and more and more. I am kind of disapointed that there isn't a third story, but I can live with only these two.

Prized Possesion [Merlin, Merthur]

Prized Possesion by Sonayesul 

“My friends are my hoard,” Merlin groaned into the table his face was slammed on and Gaius raised an unimpressed eyebrow. 

“Is this you just now realising it, or just you finally admitting it?” He asked and Merlin raised his head and glared at him. 

“Gaius, how am I meant to deal with this? I mean, they’ve already asked me so many questions! And today-! I accidentally revealed to Percy my magic!” Merlin complains. 

~~~ 

It's been five years since Merlin became a dragonlord and now he's going through "dragonlord puberty." He grows wings, talons and fangs and gets Dragon-like behavior, such as collecting a hoard. 

Which would be all fine and dandy except that Merlin's inner dragon decided to hoard his friends and now Merlin has to hope none of them notice his strange behaviours.

This one was so much fun! The whole Merlin dragon hybrid, just so goood. 

This was just so Merlin kind of thing, with his friends being his hoard and all that. I couldn't even see that Merlin would hoard anything else. He is not really a that type that likes stuff or money or anything else. He just values his friends and all other human connections. 

Sweater Curse [Supernaturla, Drowley, Destiel, oneshot]

Sweater Curse by bendingsignpost

This thing Dean has going on with Crowley, it's really not a big deal. Yeah, he's hiding it from his friends and family, but he hardly has to tell them about everyone he ever sleeps with. After all, it’s only straightforward, morally dubious fun. It’s just sex. 

Which is why Crowley giving him the sweater comes as something of a surprise.

I wanted to read fics about Crowley. I have just lately really liked him in Supernatural. The problem is just finding the fics and then finding some good ones. But this is both of those things.

I would love to read more of this kind of relationship between these two. The whole idea of sugar daddy Crowley and sugar baby Dean is a little bit too good mix. Even when here it wasn't only that, but close enough.

There were parts I didn't like. However, there were more good things about this fic. The dynamics were all there, they stayed in character and all those randevouses were even better. Some of the things were just mentioned, but seriously, I would have loved to read all of those little things. 

I also liked how everyone kinda knew that the relationship wouldn't be for the rest of life. It had a place and time, and Dean acted upon it. Its just details that Crowley got too deep. But still. So, so, so good. 

Draco Malfoy Hacks the Ministry And Messes With Harry Potter (and other less fun and more serious happenings) [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot]

Draco Malfoy Hacks the Ministry And Messes With Harry Potter (and other less fun and more serious happenings) by bafflinghaze 

Harry Potter knows Malfoy is up to something. But he just can’t prove it, because the slippery smarmy Slytherin leaves no traces, and seems to take all of Harry’s interrogations as invitations to kiss. 

To be honest, I thought there would be computers involved or that this would be non-magical fic. Ou boy how wrong I was.

I fell in love with how everything was described here. How the wards worked (or nor worked), how everyone just believed that everything works fine because it has worked fine forever, how Draco was just kind of bored and so on. Also liked how Draco invented things to make his life easier and to have time to do other things. 

Harry on the other hand.. Yea. Nothing to say about him. I just liked Draco here. And Draco hitting Harry every change he got. 

Eagerly Eighteen [Teen Wolf, Chris/Peter/Stiles, nc-17]

Eagerly Eighteen by Takara_Phoenix

Stiles' eighteenth birthday was coming up. He knew it was the expiration date for his relationship with Chris and Peter. It was hot because it was forbidden, something secret to spice up their relationship. The option to tell others was going to break the relationship, he just knew it. Especially with college looming on the horizon and the way Chris and Peter keep suggesting colleges far away from Beacon Hills. 

Chris and Peter can't wait for their boy to turn eighteen so they can be public about their relationship and they can't wait for college so they can all get out of this cursed town and start new, together. 

All three of them fail to consider that maybe they should talk to each other about these things instead of assuming that surely they know what is going on in the heads of the others. 

Talking is important. Talking is the only way to deal with misunderstandings. Talking is even more important when someone is dealing with trust issues. After that comes the part where you are suppose to make sure that everyone understands what they are really talking about.

So basically, this whole fic is all about miscommunication and everyone having feelings about it. Stiles is just depressed and ready to be forgotten. Peter and Chris are just happy and couldn't wait for what the future brings. Everyone else is there just for the ride.

And I have no idea how three people can be as stupid as two people. Yeah. Thats the whole fic. And you will love it. 

head over heels [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot]

head over heels by derekmaliknurse 

Everyone in Harry’s life thinks he’s engaged to Malfoy. The solution to this is not pretending to date Malfoy, but here he is doing that anyway. 

Sleeping is for the weak, and I can read this instead of sleeping, right? 

But seriously, this was addicting in a really cute way. Like you (as does everyone else) know, they are in love with each other. These two idiots just can't admit that the other is in love with them. Yep. The usual plot how talking is overrated.

Still. This was cute, there were little details that made it more deep and more meaningful. This was just long enough to fit everything (and I still may have wanted more, as usual). And it all just made sense. Yep. No clue what else to say.

Finding Mieczysław Gajos [Teen Wolf, Chris/Peter/Stiles, oneshot]

Finding Mieczysław Gajos by Takara_Phoenix 

Every person was born with the name of their soulmate on their wrist. Stiles? He had two names and he couldn’t wait to meet them. Only that when he does, it’s not under the circumstances he ever pictured. And neither of his soulmates acknowledge their bond. 

What he doesn’t know is that at his birth, his grandfather wrote Claudia’s maiden name down on the birth certificate. Gajos. Neither Chris nor Peter carried the name ‘Stilinski’ on their wrists. 

Finally, a soulmate fic where there is a misunderstanding with the name! I really like the idea, that they do have the wrong name on their wrist, especially when it only matches the birth certificate. I even like how they tried to find their soulmate and how they ended up in the graveyard. 

But seriously. All that angst and all the feelings. Everything. But they still found each other and still got their happy ending. I would love to read more of these kinds of fics. It always seems that soulmate identifying is really easy and goes without trouble. The angst and other problems come with everything else. 

So yea. Totally worth it and a new take on the whole soulmate business!  

Just to be Fair [Teen Wolf, Chris/Peter/Stiles, oneshot]

Just to be Fair by Takara_Phoenix 

Stiles meets a hot silver fox at a club and kisses him, just to also meet said silver fox’s gorgeous husband. To make things fair, he also kisses the husband. In the morning, he wakes up with a group chat with both of them, unsure how that had happened. 

I have read this more than once. Probably more times than I even want to admit. I have no clue what that says about me. But I don't care!

Stiles' logic is just perfect in here and how everything progresses from there. I kinda even like how Stiles is a little bit obvious whats going on. But he catches at some point! 

But this fic is full of sweetness, full on people protecting Stiles and being in his corner. Even when Stiles himself is a little bit insecure or something. No clue how to describe how Stiles is, but you will know what I mean. The main point was that people love Stiles, he is awesome and so on. He just doesn't always believe it because shitty people. Yea. 

Coffee and Crime [TeenWolf, Chris/Peter/Stiles, nc-17, oneshot]

Coffee and Crime by Takara_Phoenix

Chris and Peter hire a hitman called the Black Fox to kill Chris' father. Contact happens through notes left at Claudia's Café. During the negotiations, Chris and Peter fall for Stiles, the café's owner. Only that there are a few things about Stiles that Chris and Peter don't quite realize.

I like throuples. I just wish there were more fics about them. Or even in the fandoms I like to read. So. Here I am, getting stuck to this throuple and reading almost every fic there is to read. 

But for some reason, these three work together! I really like how Chris and Peter bring all the worst parts of Stiles out, all that darkness and murderousness. But at the same they talk how sweet and innocent Stiles is with his Bambi eyes. Even in here, Stiles is the most badass, hitman there is. And Chris and Peter has no clue. To them, Stiles is just the sweetest, most innocent young man they have the biggest crush on.

There is a great balance in the whole innocent part about Stiles and how he is submitting for the two older men. And in every fic, it shows. All of them have qualities that fits the others and adds to the relationship. Yea.

Everything just seems so good in this throuple. 

How to Date the Batman [DC Universe, Superbat]

How to Date the Batman by solomonara 

Someone spots the Batman kissing Mild Mannered Reporter Clark Kent. Hijinks ensue. 

I got lost. Really lost. For some unknown reason. 

I am not really a DC fan. Or more like, I don't like the new franchise. I liked some of the Superman movies from the 80s and 90s. I also liked the Dark Knight movies from the early 2000s (or something). I have even watched Smallville more than once and loved it. But anything more recent, just no. The movies just feel like one epic line after line. There is no concrete plot besides these one-liners. Yes, they make awesome trailers but that doesn't mean it works in a movie. Not for me at least. 

So yea. I know a shit ton about the whole fandom, but I don't really care about it anymore. Or more like, I try to avoid it. Something along those lines.

But this? The whole getting lost thing? This was really good and refreshing.

This was more than entertaining and kept me hooked. This didn't go like I thought it would, but that made it just that much better. Seriously. I may try to read more stuff like this, but we will see. 

There is also a sequel to this. Which is even better and makes this so much better. No clue how that is possible. But I had fun with these and that's the important part! Go and have fun!

The sequel: Turnabout is Fair Play  

Just Between Us, Did the Love Affair Maim You Too? [Merlin, Merthur)

Just Between Us, Did the Love Affair Maim You Too? by TheDreamPriestess

Merlin knew what a Sigil represented; a concept he had been introduced to shortly after arriving in Camelot. A marriage proposal of the deepest and most romantic kind, a callback to the traditions of old – for those who appreciated such things. 

As such, Arthur’s message was clear. 

Keep it safe for my future bride. 

And, well, he could do that. No matter what it took.

Idiots in love. Or something. 

To be honest, Merlin is an idiot in here. Nor sure how you can be that dense. But seriously. Arthur is not that much better, because talking before marriage should be the first thing you do. But nooo. Not these two. 

I dont like these kind of fics, but this one I just had to finish. Had to read to the end. Had to know how it all would play in the end. Just had to.

Scorching Hot Threesomes and Silent Co-existence: Harry Potter’s Guide to Life Post-Voldemort [Harry Potter, Harry/Draco/Hermione, nc-17]

Scorching Hot Threesomes and Silent Co-existence: Harry Potter’s Guide to Life Post-Voldemort by ellebesea 

Honestly, he's not sure how he should feel about the events of last night, but his cock doesn't seem the least bit confused. His first time, beyond a few handies behind a greenhouse or shed, and it was a threesome with his gorgeous best friend and - he might as well admit it - the hottest guy he's ever met. 

Or: the sequel to Hermione Granger and the Day Ron Weasley Called her a Slut. Hermione is still a badass, Ron is slightly less foolish, Draco Malfoy manages to convey a whole lot without saying much, and maybe, just maybe, Harry will get a clue.

There is a oneshot prequel to this: Hermione Granger and the Day Ron Weasley Called her a Slut. Its basically pure porn and probably not mandotory to understand this, but I do recommend to read it too!

Im not Dramione fan. Far from it. I dont really like the fics because Draco seems this dark, super mysterious character that just doesn't make any sense to me. To be honest, he really doesn't make any sense in here too, but yea. 

I really like how Harry understands Hermione and how they work together. Its not just the porn part but as friends outside of it all. They just makes sense. It also helps with how they make sense as a throuple with Draco. Everyone just strengthens the others. 

I dont know. I could get lost in this throuple. Or not. Time will tell.  

Light Years Away [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot]

Light Years Away by lettersbyelise Summary: 

No one told Harry about the training courses young Aurors and Curse Breakers have in common, just like Harry never told anyone about his one-night encounter with Draco Malfoy two months prior.

Somethings really short, cute, soft and a little bit mystical for the morning. Yeah. All of that. 

And Draco stays as a mystery till the end. 

Hourglass Heart [Harry Potter, Drarry,nc-17, oneshot]

Hourglass Heart by bixgirl1 

It only happened once — depending on how Harry counted. 

This one has my favorite writing style. If you can call it a style. More like its super vague, still super informative and jumps from points to points. Basically it doesnt make sense until it does. 

I would probably read this again and again just because how this was written. But I liked the plot as well, I liked how it was build, how they interacted and how it all just made so much sense in the end. Even when sometimes you just had to ask yourself, what the actual fuck is going on. 

Harry Potter and the Secret Boyfriend [Harry Potter, Romione, Drarry, oneshot]

Harry Potter and the Secret Boyfriend by luminae

Ron doesn't know how no one else noticed, they aren't subtle.

I had to google what Ron and Hermione's shipping name is. And Im still not 100% sure its Romione. It makes sense, is kinda cute but somehow no. 

But whatever.

This was again some of those cute, short, lovely oneshots that just make you feel good. I actually really liked Ron in here. Usually he just is and is overshadowed with everything else. Or he is portraited as stupid and easy to fool. But here he got to shine and be the best friend he really is. 

Everything about Harry and Draco was just cute. And thats that. The whole fic. 

Have fun! ❤️

Draco Malfoy’s Stupendous Seduction Seminar [Harry Potter, Drarry, nc-17, oneshot]

Draco Malfoy’s Stupendous Seduction Seminar by lettersbyelise 

Draco Malfoy offers to help his coworkers to improve their seduction techniques, with unexpected consequences.

I like this flamboyant version of Draco. Confident, being okay with himself and showing it to everyone. But I also like this Harry, who knows what he likes, wants and so on, but isnt so sure how to let it show and kind of hiding himself. 

This had a little crack fic feeling, but mostly it was all about feelings and what their lives are now days. But mostly it was just a peak into something good thats about to start. 

Mostly this was just what I needed for this mornings reading. 

I dream of you, to wake [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot]

I dream of you, to wake by harryromper   

“Typically coma patients are made comfortable and left to regain consciousness in their own time," Draco points out carefully. 

“Typically, yes. But when has anything about Harry been typical.” Hermione sighs, rubbing at her eye with the heel of her hand. “The Healer-in-Charge has consulted with experts at all the major wizarding hospitals. They all agree. Whatever’s happening inside of Harry’s head right now is killing him.” 

Draco Malfoy is a world-renowned dream-walker, and he may be Harry Potter’s only hope.

I am really not sure what to write about this. Everything was just so perfect and well tought. It really had that dreamlike feeling about everything, even when they weren't dreaming. 

When Buds Break [Harry Potter, Drarry, nc-17, oneshot]

When Buds Break by Andithiel 

Harry and Draco agreed that they’d keep on secretly (but exclusively) fucking each other as long as no one caught any feelings. Which is working just fine, really. The problem isn’t only that Harry would like to be allowed to stay the night occasionally. No, the real problem is that Draco has started coughing up flowers. 

I'm not telling you how many Hanahaki disease fics I have read recently. No way in hell. (By the way, when will it need its own tag?)

There seems to just be one thing in common in all of the fics. It's always Draco who gets sick. I only remember one fic where it was Harry, and that was really short compared to the rest. And Im not even sure if I would like to read a fic where Harry gets sick. Somehow, this just has to be Draco's pov to make it good. I don't even know why. 

But all in all. These are the reasons why I keep crying every day. Maybe I am just a glutton for punishment? Or something. Really something.

all the time in the world [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot]

all the time in the world by MoreSonorous 

Draco Malfoy is dying. Harry Potter is both the cause and the cure. 

I'm stuck with this idea about what about the life after. The possible break-up, or the guilt about being together, or forcing them to be together because otherwise Draco will die. Basically, there is always this doom and gloom in their relationship after Draco gets better. 

Yea. Okay. Maybe the idea is not so bad, when you think about it. They could both fall out of love and that way, Draco wouldn't get sick again. Or maybe this is somehow linked to soulmates, and the one can't be without the other. Or something like that. 

 Those were literally the only things I could think about when I was reading this. Because this is another one of those fics that I have read more than once, so I can waste some of the story thinking about everything else. And all of that is there to say, this is good, really good. And I will read this a third time at some point. Not right now, because I have three other fics open and I want to finish them first.

So if anyone knows a fic that even touches that whole subject, please link and share. I would love to read it next. And, if I wasn't somehow super clear about this, this is another Hanahaki disease fic. Yea.  

 

Garden of You [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot]

Garden of You by thoracicduck (aproposofeverything) 

Draco has Hanahaki Disease, and he would rather die than admit that he's liked his childhood nemesis all along (for reasons he does not expect); Harry warms up slowly to his unusual friend with a mysterious disease that doesn't get better. 

 A story of two men reopening old wounds and seeking comfort in each other's presence, wherein they find common ground in unspoken grief.

I have read this twice now and wouldnt say no to a third time. 

Draco is living in remorse and is just ready to die. Of course Harry interviews and tries to save him. No one knows anything but Draco and he is content with that. 

But all of this just made me cry. There really werent that many parts where I wasnt crying. So yea. This is sad, with semi happy ending. Okay. The ending is promising happy times but doesnt really go that far. 

And this is really worth the read. Just be ready to cry. Yea. 

Pull My Hair a Little Harder Please [Harry Potter, Drarry, multichapter]

Pull My Hair a Little Harder Please by batondecannelle

“Potter,” he says. 

Harry’s knees feel weak. He stumbles a few feet closer to the other boy and then stops. His chest feels tight, and his vision is swimming, and he doesn’t know how to ask for what he desperately needs. 

“I’m, I’m—” he stammers, his hands shaking. 

Draco looks around them at the empty library, and then back at Harry. “Come here,” he says. 

-- 

Harry was excited to come back for one more year of Hogwarts. One last year where there’s nothing to worry about, no basilisks or dementors or psychotic murderers. 

So why does he keep having panic attacks, and why is it always Draco Malfoy finding him right in the middle of one? 

It sounds really weird that there is not that many fics about mental health in Potter fandom. Like.  You have a world where has been a war with children being the most importat characters. And people just keep writing like none of that really happened or matters. Don't get me wrong, I love those fics too, but Im kind of just waiting more of these kinds of fics? If that makes any sense.

Okay. This is still not a way to deal with mental health and depression and PTSD. But in fiction, this is okay and fine. All that other stuff on the other hand, how out of it Harry was without even understanding it. How it just got worse and worse. How he didn't have any tools to help himself or understand what was going. Those are the parts I liked about this. This felt real, like he really was lost and everything had just gone to shits. 

Draco was left as a little bit mysterious. I liked that. I liked how it was all about Harry surviving and trying to understand. Everything else was just background, even if it helped. But nothing was really clear or linear in here, it was just how Harry felt everything. Mushy, dark, hopeless, sad, lost.  

growing irises (in the sunshine) [Harry Potter, Drarry, nc-17, oneshot]

growing irises (in the sunshine) by inkedquill 

Draco Malfoy is very good at being Harry Potter’s friend, and especially so at pretending he hasn’t been in love with him since long before. 

Too bad his eyes didn’t seem to get the memo. 

Or alternatively, Draco is made aware of the fact that his pupils visibly dilate whenever Harry is around, apparently an irrepressible sign of attraction or arousal. He freaks out.

Almost 20k words of idiots being in love. Fucking hell. Am I so messed up that this is really what I love to read the most? Like fucking hell. There is something seriously wrong with me (and all those people who love to write this shit, still kudos to all of you, I love you and all the hard work you do).

I wish I had something else to say. But thats the whole plot and its just so good and well written that there is nothing else to add. Enjoy!

I'll never be your chosen one [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot, nc-17]

I'll never be your chosen one by Andithiel 

Draco doesn't know what exactly he’s doing with Potter, he doesn't know how their unspoken agreement even started, and doesn't know where it will end. The only thing he knows is: he's not in love. 

Im not crying, you are crying. 

Honestly, it seems like Im back to promoting porn. There is a plot and in a way this is more plot than porn. But it feels like pure filth. You can take that as any way you really want.

 The main point is. Draco is not in love. 

The Other Blond at Number Four [Harry Potter, Drarry, nc-17, oneshot]

The Other Blond at Number Four by syringe  

Dudley shouldn't be surprised that it's Malfoy, but he can't help the bewilderment that overwhelms him when he sees that mean little face screwed up in pleasure, staring up at his cousin with starry eyed adoration. 

Dudley finds out about a terrifying blonde freak straight from the dark side (!) shacking up with his cousin right here in his home. Naturally, he goes snooping...

Now I want to read more of Dudley and Malfoy's interactions. Shit. 

But the thing. Both of them were so on point with their personalities and actions. Just perfect. 

A Lick and a Promise [Harry Potter, Drarry, nc-17]

 A Lick and a Promise by tackytiger

Something sinister stirs in Hogwarts! 

When magical creatures and students at the school are hit with a debilitating blood curse, Minerva McGonagall approaches the Ministry for help. 

Star Auror Harry Potter seems to be the obvious choice to go undercover—as DADA Professor, naturally. He’s going to need the help of the Ministry’s foremost expert in blood magic to get to the bottom of the mystery, though, and he’s not entirely convinced that going back to Hogwarts with Draco Malfoy is a good idea. 

Things are complicated between them—what’s new?—but they know they have to learn to work together (and keep their hands off each other in the corridors) in order to solve this case. Luckily for them, Hogwarts itself wants to lend a hand. 

A tale of love, lessons, and learning to really live.

There was two things I was waiting to happen. Which one cracks first about wanting a real relationship. When does Harry crack about loving teaching (or is it Draco who has had enough of watching Harry love it and cracks for him).

And well. I had to wait a really long time. In the end, both crackings were kind of sidenotes and not so magnificent. Or maybe I had just hyped a little too much and waited something a little too much. But they were there! And they were still awesome.

I didn't really think about the actual plot that much for some reason. But in the end, the plot was good and one of the best parts of this. I was just shit at appriciating it along the journey. 

Even the ending was satisfying and everything I wished for. So yea. Just awesome piece of literature this was.

 

Ink (My Skin With Your Name) [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot]

Ink (My Skin With Your Name) by Kandakicksass

Several years after the war, an ostracized Draco Malfoy covers himself in tattoos, becomes best friends with a muggle, and debates abandoning magical society entirely to work in a tattoo shop. All in all, he's having a hell of a time trying to figure out who he is and what he wants to do with his life. The last thing he needs is to run into Harry Potter, who seems intent on becoming his friend, even if he has to get a lot of ink to do it.

I was not sure if I wanted to write about this one. Not because this isn't good, because this is, this is awesome. But more like, do I wanna come back to this fic and read this again and would I still like this that much. I probably would, but the point. 

Maybe the part that worries me more is about how I have nothing to say about this one. Or that, this wasn't the lighlight of my day or maybe Im just missing something. Maybe. I don't know. 

The main thing still is that this is goooood. So goood. And I recommend this to everyone. Seriously. I just have problems. 

Can You Feel my Heart? [Harry Potter, Drarry, Nc-17]

Can You Feel my Heart? by MelCalder 

There are no words in the English language to describe what Draco has been through, nor is there anything worth talking about. Until that changes Draco is going to stay mute.

I almost gave up reading this in the beginning. I dont remember why and I am glad that I didnt. 

This whole thing feels real. Like you really survive a war and this is how you end up. There is nothing to live for, everything is shit, you cant deal with the sadness or anything else and everything has fallen apart. 

My favorite part was how others talked about Harry. How they saw Harry and how he was broken and how Draco in a way helped him. One other good thing was the comments about Harry's childhood and how he doesn't even comprehend how bad it really was. Like to him it was just normal day, but to everyone else it was the worst. Same goes with the line "they tried to beat the wizard out of him". 

Draco being lost was also really well written. Everything moved forward, but he didn't. Things happened, but he didn't notice, care or wasn't even aware of them. Just because he was lost in his own head. The same goes about his recovery and how slow it was, even when it sometimes it felt fast and rushed. But it was slow and you could enjoy every little milestone that he took. 

This whole thing just hit me so deep and got stuck. And I really don't even have to words to express that.

If stars died of old age by DefNotForWork 

His mother had had six months after his father had died. But it was expected; they had prepared and were already rather distanced. Draco hadn’t been ready, and Merlin, he had been so in love. He knew he was counting down in weeks, not months.

Wanna have a good cry for the day? Wanna feel the worst sadness ever? Wanna break your own heart? Wanna read a story with a happy ending? If all of those were yeses, then read this. Thank you. 

Telling the Bees [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot]

Telling the Bees by hiimcibee 

Scorpius’ body was found in Hogwarts one early morning.

This wrecked me. I knew it would, before I even started reading but Im really in the mood for sad fics. The sadder the better. Or something. 

I just. The word I want to use is quietness. Slow life just happening and its just quiet. This is the only feeling I really got out of this. I dont even know if it makes sense. But thats how I feel about this. 

There were some really cute stories about how everyone became friends. What drove everyone to do the things they did. Even falling in love just was there, it was just part of life and happened without anyone noticing. Just life going and living. Yea. 

I still have to warn that this will wreck you. The best way possible. Will destroy every happy thing you have in you and just be the saddest, truest there is right now. But in the end, you will be happy that you read this. That is something I can promise. 

Still [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot]

Still by alexmeg 

Dating Draco Malfoy, Harry thinks, will mean being at arms length outside of sex. No unnecessary physical contact or displays of affection. He wants him anyway, inexplicably. Perhaps that is exactly the kind of person he should be with, someone who will never need Harry to kiss him first, because Harry doesn't think he'll ever be that person.

I felt that. All of that. Just. I know on some level what Harry is feeling and how hard that is. Because you get lost in your own head and don't know how to actually put it into words. 

Draco was so lovely and helpfull and just perfect. There was also finally some kind of communication and not just expectation that the other will know and understand.

All in a day| Day One by BreathingDreamsLikeAir 

Years after the war, Draco Malfoy is broke, disgraced, and trapped, his assets frozen by magical decree until he produces an heir. But no one will marry a former Death Eater, and being gay makes the demand even crueler. Desperate, he turns to the only man with enough power to help him: Harry Potter, now a respected Lord of the Wizengamot. Draco expects political aid or help finding a suitable wife. What he doesn’t expect is Harry’s offer: become his consort, bear their children, and earn back his legacy through submission. With nowhere else to turn, Draco agrees, plunging into a cold, commanding household where his body becomes both sanctuary and sentence.

I dont usually even read fics like these. Im not even 100% why I opened this or liked this so much. But this just hit some dark spot in me and I would love to read more of this. 

The thing is, this is dark. Harry is dark, the world is dar (for Draco at least). And there is no better life for Draco besides all this. So he makes do and Harry uses him for all his pleasure. Thats it. 

I have warned you. Only read, if you are really up to it and mind the tags. 

i demand to dig my own grave [Harry Potter, Drarry]

i demand to dig my own grave by M0stlyVoid 

Draco finds himself in hot water with the Aurors, and in a burst of panicked inspiration manages to wiggle out of it by claiming to be a Seer. There's just one little problem– Senior Auror Harry Potter, the Prat Who Lived, who's known him for a decade, knows full well Draco doesn't have a single psychic bone in his body and seems determined to pull him up for it. Now, the Department is demanding he help them solve cases, Potter's looming over his shoulder at every turn, and worst of all, he hasn't had a shag in weeks because of all this bother. What's a pseudo-Seer to do?

I have been reading a lot these past months. But for some reason I have to shared any of those fics here. No clue why, but I am trying to do better. Hopefully. We will see. 

This one was fun, quirky and somehow really deep. I dont usually like Auror Harry, but in this one he was really better than in most. And somehow, being a rich, jobless snobb fits Draco perfectly. Okay. Draco can be anything and it would fit him perfectly. 

One weird thing I really did like, was those small parts about Draco's childhood. It was so refreshing to see Lucius being a good father and how he gave Draco a good childhood. And at the same time, it explained really well why Draco was able to read people as well as Sherlock would. I really liked all that about Draco. 

So please. Go, read and have fun with this one. 

Mise en Place [Harry Potter, Drarry, oneshot]

Mise en Place by corvuscrowned 

Draco needs to learn how to cook, and luckily, Harry knows his way around a kitchen. 

The fact that Draco is using his newfound cooking skills to impress another man... Well, Harry just tries not to think about that too much. 

But somewhere, among all of the spicing and savoring, Harry realizes that Draco is coming by for more than just a good meal.

You know the plot, how it ends and everything in between. But still the cuteness, the questions how and when and two idiots in love, make it even better and worth it. 

By the way, I hate cooking. But I still love this.

Landslide by dreamkiller 

 “I’m sorry” Draco said. He dabbed at his mouth from where he’d almost spat out his drink. “Did I just hear you say that you have a boyfriend?”

Throuple is forever one of my favorite tropes (pairings?). And these three together make it even better. 

To be honest. This was like third or fourth fic I tried to read about them. Tried as in all the others where shite and I couldnt even finish them because they were that bad. I tried. I even tried just force myself to read them, but nope. I just couldnt do it. 

Thank fucking god I finally found this. Hope is not completly lost. 

So please. Go and read this. Now. Hurry.  

fly like paper, high like planes [Harry Potter, Drarry]

fly like paper, high like planes by harryromper 

Harry Potter, Head Coach of the Appleby Arrows, is very content leading a quiet life. He has a doddery old house-elf who makes his breakfast, a team of players who love Quidditch almost as much as he does, and a Kneazle that curls against his damaged leg at the foot of his bed at night. The absolute last thing he needs is a fit, tattooed, and wildly talented Draco Malfoy back from living his life on the margins. Soon he’s dealing with goblins for the first time since the war, traveling to Prague, eating dodgy squid, and maybe, just maybe, accepting that Quidditch, Malfoy, and even Harry himself are still capable of change.

Fuck my life. Its been awhile since I was this hooked to a fic. And Im not just saying that this is really good (which it obviously is) but more like I was waiting and being anxious and just ready to jump at any time there was something happening. 

Its not even that it took 1/4 of the fic before Draco was even mentioned. Its not even that I can understand Harry who cant fly anymore and how that is the shittiest thing ever to happen. Its not even finally being hooked on Quidditch. No. 

Its the whole world in Quidditch, its how Pansy just changes everything and how much background there is to evrything. And in the sidelines all the feelings and two stubborn idiots. I just. I wish I could read this again without remembering any of it. Thats it. Thats what I want. 

Half Sick of Shadows [Harry Potter, Drarry, Nc-17]

 Half Sick of Shadows by StarQuesting

 Harry and Draco have been sleeping together for months, and it's fine. It's enough for Harry. But when things finally start to feel like the more Harry's been hoping for, a strange tapestry project has him worrying he won't ever get the chance. Or: the one with sheep, dragons, and a whole lot of weaving metaphors.

I have been reading a lot lately. A lot of HP fiction, mostly Drarry but Manacled was there too. And it has been kinda 50/50 in hits and misses. But now I feel like I have found more gems than anything else. 

This was really good from the start and how Draco was describled. All the tattoos, piercings, hair and whatnot. I just fell in love with the whole picture. So no wonder I also loved the story. 

Find Your Way Back [Harry Potter, Drarry, Nc-17]

 Find Your Way Back by unadulteratedstorycollector

Thirty years ago, Draco Malfoy requested a divorce from Harry Potter, but somehow their marriage bond was never severed. Now Harry wants to break the bond, marry his new fiancé, and continue getting on with his life. But Draco's not sure he's willing to let him go a second time.

Hey! Im not promoting porn anymore! There is a little bit porn in the end, but thats just everyday fic for you. 

Never Mind the Bollocks [Harry Potter, Drarry, Nc-17, multichapter]

Never Mind the Bollocks by The_Sinking_Ship 

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.

For some reason this is excatly what I would love to read more right now. Two people who are just lost in the big, scary world. They find each other, they get even more lost and then they figure some shit out. 

There are drugs, sex, alcohol, partying, violence and everything else. And this just checked every single box for me. 

So please. Do recommend other fics like this one. Thanks.

Harry is the Head of the Auror Department while Draco is slowly rising through the ranks in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. 

They keep their relationship a secret. 

________________ 

Connected oneshots more than a chaptered fic. Mostly smut — way too much smut — with ~feelings~ and a tiny plot. Basically "Draco is a soft, gentle Dom, taking care of Harry's needs." And Harry is hot and powerful and terrifies other people. Also, they're madly in love, but shhh, don't tell Draco.

Im promoting pure porn. What has life come to? 

In all seriousness this is pure porn, pure filth and all those things. But this is also lovely dovey lovestory about two really funtional adults who have amazing communication skills. That does not mean they really talk about everything but almost.

This is also one of the best dom/sub fics I have ever read in terms of how.... it works and how they deal with everything. That saying, some of the things are still fictional and magic is the only reason why some of it could even make sense. But this is Harry Potter fic and magic is the reason behind everything.

So pretty please. If you like anything about porn, bdsm or Drarry, just read this. You wont be disapointed.
