Valentine Veela Fest 2013 : Masterlist of DRARRY fics

do-me-veela || official masterpost || ∑= 15 fics + 3 arts The Mods : cyn_ful & @knowmefirst

1. Claimed by dragontara [E, 8k]

Harry is investigating a crime when he crashes right in the middle of the Veela mating party. Five Veelas are very interested in Harry and already have him cornered, when one surprisingly familiar person jumps in for a rescue. But if you thought it was difficult to get five Veela suitors off your back when they were only showing interest and trying to impress, try to deal with a fiercely protective and possessive Veela, who is determined to claim you and taking no for an answer.

2. Glory Be by Lomonaaeren [E, 32k]

Draco—Draco Malfoy, skilled assassin, powerful and wealthy Veela, former Death Eater—has always known what to do, where to go, who to kill. And then Harry Potter came along: Harry Potter, Unspeakable, former Auror, the most powerful wizard Draco has ever seen. And Draco catches a glimpse of glory he may be unable to live without.

3. Hard at Each Other by enchanted_jae [E, 3k]   *not on AO3

Harry has been informed that he and Malfoy are mates. Neither one of them is going to take it lying down.

4. A Healthy Obsession by @fantasyfiend09 [E, 7k]   *not on AO3

Prompt: During their eighth year Harry feels that Draco is up to something again. Ducking when he sees Harry, having his meals taken to his room, and even the leaving the pitch when he comes out. Harry can’t believe Draco decides to be up to something again. However, during their confrontation he’s surprised to know that Draco isn’t up to something. He’s avoiding Harry because Harry is his mate and he doesn’t want to mate with someone who hates him. […]

5. The Ugly Duckling by @icmezzo [E, 16k]   *not on AO3

Draco is all atwitter when he wakes up on his birthday with a few unexpected feathers. Suspecting foul play, he enlists Harry to help him get rid of his unfortunate birden—er, burden.

6. Veritas by winterdaffodils [G, 3k]

Exiled and left to die, Draco Malfoy ends up the last place he could have expected and yet exactly where he needed to be.

7. Wings & Heart by freakingcrups [E, 4k]   *not on AO3

Draco organises a costume ball just so he can show off the wings he’s hidden from the world. Much to his amusement though, everyone believes they are part of his costume. Until the truth comes out when he sees something that doesn’t impress him one bit…

and here’s the link to the website he puts in his videos:

3500 years ago, the Minoans had hot and cold taps and flushing toilets

the name Alexandra is at least 3200 years old

when Cimbri warriors crossed the Alps in 101 BC, they stripped naked, sat on their shields and slid down the snowy mountainside to frighten the Romans

Xerxes whipped the sea three hundred times and threw shackles into the water to punish it for destroying his bridge

Caligula named his horse consul

the Ancient Greeks once tried to domesticate snails

teenage king Mursili I walked his army from the mountains of central Anatolia, across the Syrian desert and all the way to Mesopotamia, attacked Babylon, stole the doors, and left

Polybius spends an entire book of his Histories criticising Timaeus, another historian (sample chapters include Timaeus wrong about Libya, The errors of Timaeus and Timaeus blinded by personal malignity)

there was an actual man in Ancient Greece named Misogynes

Complete fics posted on AO3 this day

1. Birthing Jamie by Ladderofyears [M, 8k]

▶ Draco attends St. Mungo’s Paternity Department with Harry beside him. His baby, Jamie, is overdue and their Healer has scheduled an induction. This fic is the story of Jamie Potter-Malfoy’s very first day in the world and all the trials that Draco has to endure to meet him.

2. Expectations by EerieBarbarian [G, 1k]

▶ Harry and Ginny get into an argument and Harry’s forced to examine his relationship with Draco.

3. Gold Rimmed Gray by MissDrarryDawn [E, 5k]

▶ Harry’s quiet night of studying werewolves goes awry when his partner, Draco Malfoy, a prat and a werewolf, turns up. It’s the full moon, Harry wasn’t sure what else he expected. Well, certainly not what he got.

4. His eyes are green like emeralds by @eelwinks [T, 11k]

▶ HDuring his 8th year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter starts receiving poems suspiciously like his valentine from 2nd year. He and Ginny had broken up, so, who was sending them?

5. Not A Requirement For A Date by @pixiedustatsundown [T, 2k]

▶ This is not how Draco wanted to spend his evening. A bunch of drunk people who don’t want anything to do with Draco, (not that he can blame them, he wouldn’t want anything to do with him either) drinking even more and playing juvenile games. Fantastic. […]

6. Pumpkin Boy by @rockmarina [T, 6k]

▶ It’s Halloween night, and the line that separates Harry’s world from the one he truly belongs in dissipates when he meets a peculiar, white-blond boy.

7. Sweet Dreams by @surelyheavenwaits [E, 2k]

▶ Draco could never have imagined this, could never have dreamed that this would be happening. […]

8. Teach me to love by bleedforyou1 [E, 10k]

▶ Draco Malfoy never thought he’d have to share a school with Harry Potter again. Nor did he think it was possible for the git to drive Draco even more insane.

9. Time by EerieBarbarian [E, 1k]

▶ "If I could travel through time, I’d start over with you properly.“ Holy crap, did he really just say that?

1. Don’t Delete The Kisses by Anonymous [T, 6k]

ok so if everythings normal, your phone camera should have a manual mode (sometimes called pro mode). in it, change the settings of the shutter lag to 20 seconds, then put the phone down on some stable, plane surface and press the photo button (usually when using your camera, the volume buttons can be used as photo button) and let the phone still for the whole 20 seconds. 

Additionally, adjust your ISO to the highest number (mimics the film used for very low light and low speed images)

And set your shutter speed to the longest time possible (on my phone it’s 10 seconds).

Leave your focus settings on Auto, and if your phone camera has a timer option, turn that on (five seconds is generally enough).

Plan your shot first, then find a place to set your phone down so you can get the image you want. The less light pollution, the better; you’ll pick up FAR more stars in your picture.

Once you know what you want to shoot, tap your screen to “focus” it, then hit the button to take the picture, set your phone down, and back away from the “tripod”. Don’t touch your phone for a good 15 seconds, just to be sure.

You will not be disappointed in the results, let me assure you.

Not even a little bit.

hello, i have finally put together a fic-rec of my favorite drarry fics. each of this fics, more than once while reading, i have had physical reactions including but not limited to: sharp inhaling, covering my face with my hands, making anguished wails into my pillow.

please enjoy.

Grounds for Divorce by tepre

Malfoy finds a coin. Harry finds a letter.

A story about histories, a story about families. A story about a lemon tree somewhere in Upper Egypt.

grounds for divorce is literally… everything. i liveblogged this fic for a full week when i started reading it. OP took my life, gave me CPR, raised me and tucked me in at night. OP is out for blood. please if you read any fic on this list, please make it grounds for divorce.

Down a Hill at High Speed by tepre

Draco is reckless with a fern and Harry is his babysitter.

not to rec tepre twice in a row but this fic is shorter and very fun. i’m not into eighth-year fics mostly because i want to see harry and draco as old men but this was [chefs kiss] very fun and good. 

White as Snow by bixgirl1

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.

trapped in a blizzard in an abandoned cabin oh no… whatever shall they do… i’ll tell you: they fuck and the foreplay is literally so long you feel like you’re also getting fucked. listen i didn’t say this list would be wholesome. anyway this fic is MWAH.

Here’s The Pencil, Make It Work by ignatiustrout

Harry thinks “Why is Malfoy working in a coffee shop in muggle London?” is a much simpler question than, “Are you going to accept that auror offer and, if you don’t, what will you do?”

here’s the thing. sometimes a fic written in 2013 is so fucking good you’re like why does this ship even need to be expanded upon? then you remember that ignatiustrout walked so the rest of us could run.

All the Earnest Young Men  by Anonymous

Auror Harry! Expert-in-Magical-Art-Theory Draco! There’s running, dancing, falling through ice, what’s this paper giraffe doing here? A great time was had by all.

GOD the fact that this is anonymous is literally killing me. OP please expose yourself, i am dying and would love to lay at your feet with my fucking death rattle. draco in this fic is SO GOOD, like i don’t think i’ve ever seen his personality written like this before.

On a chilly day in October, Draco kisses Harry goodbye before he goes on yet another dangerous, undercover mission with the Aurors.

And then Harry doesn’t come back.
