And for another monthly fic recommendation…Drum rolls….
DRARRY
(The art was done by the talented @littlewinnow)
And The Illusion that One Can Get Things Right
119k, Complete, Explicit
The synopsis: Blindsided by Ginny's sudden departure from his life, Harry struggles to care for his family—replete with a new baby. The situation plummets from disarray to pandemonium just as Draco Malfoy arrives to drop Scorpius off for a visit, because of course it does.
IT WAS SO SO SO CUTE
James, Albus, Lily and Remy stole my heart. The friendship between the Potters and the Malfoys felt so natural and tender ugh, I loved every chapter with them on it. Seeing Harry try to do his best as a recently single father, trying to give his kids the love and attention they crave after Ginny left WITHOUT neglecting his other duties? Juggling with the needs of a newborn baby, two moody teenage kids and an adorable ten year old girl? Poor guy was STRUGGLING.
And then, so organically you can’t help but be in awe of the author’s skills, Draco and Scorpius enter their lives: restoring the natural order of things with small gestures and every day domesticity. IT MADE ME MELT 💕
I loved the way Draco helps Harry carry the heavy burden on his shoulders, all without losing that iconic Malfoy sass. AND THEN THEY START FALLING IN LOVE 😭 So slowly and naturally, like it was meant to happen from the start. STOP IT 😫❤️
This fic felt like a warm hug, so tender and fluffy and spicy at the same time. One hundred percent recommended.
Hi! not sure if you take fic recs- but i really enjoyed Forever, preferably by JoWithTheFlow on ao3. Its a pretty typical tomarry time travel au fic, and i think its massively underrated. I can't find the author on tumblr, but they are amazing.
Hellooooo. Yess, of course I take fic recs love, thank you! I’ll give it a try and update soon. 💕
Helloooo! So I’m looking for a beta or just someone in general that’s interested in reading over some chapters and commenting ideas before I post them. For anyone in the Harry Potter fandom that reads this and feels interested, please write me a message! I’d really like to exchange some thoughts. Thank you!
Thank you for tagging me queasy, this is super interesting! I’m just gonna answer the questions according to the number, I’m lazy sorry 😅
1. I have five works, yay
2. 57,635 words, which is a bit crazy (Hope I can wrap up the year with 90k, but we’ll see)
3. Harry Potter, but my first fic was from The Secret History by Donna Tart. Amazing author btw
4. I only have five works hahaha, so I’ll just say my top 1, which is Auror Potter
5. Yes, I do respond to comments! I love love making conversation hehe, and it makes me ridiculously excited when someone notices a little detail about the story and takes the time to write it down.
6. Mmmm, Richard Papen is having a bit of a crisis, but just because it is canon compliant
7. Mmmm, the only other fic I’ve finished (lol, the rest are wips) is Gracie and Dudley Dursley, but that’s a one shot, so I don’t know if it counts.
8. Thankfully no!
9. YES I DO WRITE SMUT HAHAHA
10. I’ve never written a crossover
11. I don’t think so, no
12. No, but it’d be awesome to have someone translate a story of mine one day
13. Co-written no, but I collaborated with a beautiful artist this month hehe (love you queasy)
14. I have three, sorry, I refuse to choose: Drarry, Tomarrymort and Romionarry
15. None, hopefully. I plan on finishing all, life just needs to let me do it 🥲
16. Honestly I have no idea. Character building? I don’t know, I’ve been told I write good characters.
17. Discipline. I procrastinate, a lot 😔
18. Maybe on Spanish, cause that’s my mother tongue. Who knows tho, it’d have to make sense in the context of the story
19. This one I’m adding cause I saw it was missing. Hardest story to write so far and why? My answer would be I Can Fix Him, cause I actually need to investigate for that one lol
20. I love all of them, but Harry, Ron and Hermione hold a special place in my heart. I’d say you sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days, which funnily enough is my least popular one.
Loved doing this, thank you!

16. what are your writing strengths?
writing short stories
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
writing HAHAHA
okay but for reals, writing "in character". i struggle with lowering my own voice and letting characters talk through me instead. how do you guys do that?
also editing after the "shit draft / first draft" -> it is why i keep my stories nice and very short in comparison to other published stories hehehe
18. thoughts on dialogue in another language?
i like when authors do this. yet i dont feel comfy to do it myself tho.
20. favorite fic you've written? i have three fics for different reasongs, i refuse to pick
i have wanted to write an uncommon POV via Nagini, and also i was attempting a twilight reference but i believe i chicken"d out last minute? Anyways I had Harry call Nagini "Bella" in reference of "where have you been loca??!!" hahahhah X
an ambitious story that outgrew my intentions, yet not fully bloomed. I enjoyed figuring out a more "original storyline and setting" than following the canon world and its rules and plotlines.
like i have mentioned earlier, i wouild like to add more to this story and maybe flesh it out properly with time.
in this one, my most recent written fic, i really sprinkled in a few of my favorite characterizations of tom that i enjoy seeing a lot. idk if these character traits and behaviors are evident to others besides me BUT i am glad i had fun writing this one a lot after a good while of not writing.
@liquidluckandstuff - answer these questions too! >: )
@albondiguilla007 @cealesti @catjar91 @isalisewrites @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger @tommarvoloriddlesdiary @valkyrie-chemist @chaos-bear and whoever else that wants to join !!!
