Your Former Friendly JSTOR Tumblr Overlord

I think the over sanitation of the internet is doing similar things to people's psyche.

you’re also blithely unaware of the fact that, in 2011, hbo produced a documentary series about the washington capitals vs pittsburgh penguins stadium series, and then i think it was on livejournal, wasn't it, that sidney crosby/alexander ovechkin hockey rpf began to really circulate widely. and then sid/ovi rpf quickly showed up in the collection of several prolific fanfic writers. then it filtered down through tumblr and ao3 and then trickled on down to miss rachel reid herself, who no doubt was the first to be brave enough to send it to print

Dec. 31: A fic with a party!

where all the veins meet by eight_of_wands

Primary tropes/tags: Roommates, coming of age

Why I chose it: This fic is so much more than just a fic with a party. It's a gorgeous fic about Harry trying to figure himself and life out after the war, and of course falling in love. BUT! There is a scene where the Hogwarts gang plays Never Have I Ever that ended up as my all-time favorite party-game scene in a fic, it's ridiculously funny.

Summary:

'i hate this fandom'

'i don't want to read noncon/dubcon'

'i don't like 'x/y/z' and i shouldn't have to read it'

'i hate this character'

'i don't want to read explicit stories'

a resolution for you:

ART:

Only One Wish for @shiftylinguini [T]

Harry throws a party at Grimmauld Place. There is one guest he waits for more than anyone else. Will they show up?

We Should Really Talk About It for @dodgerkedavra [E]

Draco and Harry move in together. Draco avoids a conversation.

the ancient and beloved rites of enemies for @moonflower-rose [M]

While exploring an ancient tomb, Harry calls on his trusted Cursebreaker advisor, Draco Malfoy, to ensure the tomb is safe from traps. And, if he’s lucky, to assist him in the ancient and beloved rite of dancing around one’s old nemesis to the tune of desire, vulnerability, and mutual trust. It’s a familiar ritual, but one he will never tire of. Draco’s pretty into it, too.

FIC:

The Lakes for xErised [E, 37k]

When Draco Malfoy swans back into Harry’s life, he’s still a pointy, smug git. Some things never change. It’s fine. Malfoy can fix his motorbike, and Harry can ignore him. Besides, Harry’s just matched with a hot guy online, so he’s plenty occupied, and finally settling into his life in Cumbria. Even Malfoy can’t fuck that all up, can he?

Versipillis for @megreads99 [E, 25k]

Harry balled his hands at his sides. He wished he hadn’t come. He wished he’d never listened to O’Cannon’s show. But more than anything, he wished Draco wasn’t six feet away, treating Harry like an older version of himself, one that Draco had never cared for. Never loved. “But you didn’t know that’s what would happen, Malfoy. And if something had happened to Teddy, where would you be? Back in Paris avoiding the fallout, as usual.”

Monstrosity for @fantalfart [E, 38k]

Draco is cursed to be a wolfy monster. He summons Harry from another dimension to end the curse.

Walnuts and Pears, We Plant for Our Heirs for @burstingstars [T, 12k]

Middle-aged bachelor Harry sets out to do something about hunger in Wizarding Britain. Draco offers his orchard's apples, walnuts, and oddly terrible pears. They team up to help when a pair of neglected children enter their lives. There's a hole in the weather, kids tie toast to apple-trees, and consolatory spumoni is consumed.

And then, the Quiet for @izroan-ff [E, 13k]

After the war, Harry is content on staying well within the confines of Grimmauld Place, thank you very much. That is, until an ominous glow appears from the willow tree at the end of the garden, luring him in, desperate to be seen.

Dangerous Chemistry for @renncandraw [E, 9k]

Draco Malfoy has bled, cried, and spent a lot of money to turn his dream apothecary into a real business. Harry Potter is an Auror trying to track tainted love potions that are leaving a path of destruction in their wake. If the two of them stop bickering long enough to work together, they just might be able to crack the case.

Corpse Fauna for the @hd-erised community [E, 76k]

Voldemort wins. Harry runs. Draco is getting married.

A Prize for Rotten Judgement for @oknowkiss [E, 13k]

It’s a Tuesday on Tumblr, and the Heated Rivalry fever is showing no signs of stopping. The adaptation of Rachel Reid’s bestselling novel about rival hockey players is light on hockey and heavy on good old enemies to lovers, and we’re so here for it. Please enjoy this collection of Hollanov art (and some Skip, for balance) to tide you over til Friday.

Draco falls in love at the crudest possible moment. Potter is nude, for fuck's sake, big clever fingers snug around a steaming DOM branded mug that reads What Would You Say You Do Here?

Christ. Probably designed it himself.

"Designed it myself." Potter beams. "Department had a contest." He transfers the mug to his bedside table and says, "Black, teaspoon of sugar, yeah?"

And Draco, who's never told him that, thinks, appallingly, I love you.

He doesn't say it, of course. He says fuck-all, pulls Potter's flannel (!) sheet higher up his sticky chest, and stares at him in horror.

Potter's face flags. "What?"

"Nothing." But Potter, professional poker of bears, sits beside him and braids their fingers together. "Nothing," Draco doubles down. "Just—coup de foudre."

"Er. Okay. Voulez-vous couchez avec moi?"

Abject horror.

"Bolt of lightning," Draco translates, “swear you’ll never speak French again,” then kisses him to ensure it.

Stop talking. Look at me. Look at me and listen.

Life is a never ending string of tragedies and delights. You will not be saved by making yourself less noticable.

Three of Flora (Pentacles)

Gothic Abbey 

Suggest Reading: “Spunk” by Zora Neale Hurston (1925)

Keywords: collaboration, a barn raising, creative contributions, skill-sharing

What would a Gothic novel be without the perfect ecosystem of stone abbey ruins, the creeping ivy that crumbled them, and the despairing heroine? Collaborate on something beautiful and lasting, like a secret cultish mausoleum or an underground lab.
