I'm looking for a drarry au, where Draco is a monk, a priest... he has given his life to God. one day an injured Harry is brought to be healed, and along the way they get attracted to one another. they decide to run together.

i read it on ao3, most likely pre-2020

thats all I can remember, hope it'll be enough to find it! thanks !

We believe you are looking for Find Your Own Heaven by @andithiel (13k, M)

The second one is when you recced I’ll never be your chosen one, and I swear my brain stopped working for a solid minute and I didn’t know what to do with myself (I remember wanting to yell and stomp around in my flat but my kids were sleeping and I also think my husband would’ve thought I was having a seizure or something). I felt like I must’ve reached some sort of royalty to be honoured with a sitp rec post, written with such care and gentleness as is your trademark. I still have it saved as a screenshot for easy access to look when I’m feeling down ❤️❤️❤️

Omg Andi!!!!! This is the loveliest thing ever, I read it on my way to work and spent the whole day thinking about your words 💜 this kind of feedback means the world to me, and I’m so grateful that you recced me the fabulous Teeth - and thanks to our interaction I got to check your amazing works too! I still remember how I felt reading those two fics (peak enemies to lovers and porn with feels, my dudes!) and I had a blast writing those recs so I’m really really happy they felt special and meaningful to you, too. You two are incredibly talented and deserve all the praise and love. This ask made my day, thank you!

Thank you! (*insert weird fangirling here*)

2. Why do you write fanfiction?

I write because I love telling stories! I love all the characters I write, and I love... I don’t know, thinking about what happens next. And I absolutely love the idea of creating different stories, especially when maybe I don’t love the way a story ends. It’s also turned into an amazing community, and I’ve made forever friends who are with me all day every day. And sometimes I write because my brain amuses me.

3. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works?

Ohhh hmmm. I’m not really sure - I fluctuate between “I’m an okay writer” and “dear god why did I think I could write?” like, hourly ha ha. I know what draws me to the stories I love (and revisit and revisit and revisit) is a combination of things, and they’re all things I try to achieve in my own writing. The craft of writing matters to me, *words* really matter to me, so figuring out the right words, the way I want to say them, matters to me. Consistency of plot and authenticity matters to me. I really like things to make sense. The belief that happy endings are often messy, and take work and effort, but that they’re important, that matters to me. Redemption matters. Healing matters. Communication matters. 

18. Wildest fic you’ve ever written?

Ahh the only real WIP I have is one I’m writing for Big Bang, so I can’t talk about it here (although I desperately want to shout about it lol) ! I’d quite like to write some short smutty fics soon, so they’re a WIP in the very loosest sense of me vaguely thinking about ideas and looking for inspiration haha. 

Ahahah hi, thanks darling!! ;My wireless.... aaaaaah!!! I don’t know why, it put me through such a BIG BLOCK!

Hi lovely, thank you for enabling my procrastination :D (I’m currently trying to multitask, so we’ll see how this goes haha)

Ooh this is a very fun question! I adore writing dialogue, so the hard part now is choosing my favorite bit. (and now that I’m being put under pressure, I cannot for the life of me decide which…) 

Here’s one of my favorite parts. This was just such a sweet and tender moment between Draco and Harry and I had a lot of fun writing it. It’s from my @hd-fan-fair, he touched me, so I live to know

“Knew you’d like this,” Draco mumbles into Harry’s neck.

“How did you know?” Harry asks, just as softly.

“You’re not good at asking for what you want, usually, but you’re especially bad when it comes to the matter of touch.”

Harry feels like the breath has been knocked out of his chest. He knows that he has major issues around touch, and specifically the idea that touch can be nonviolent, but he’s never had someone so blatantly say it to his face. Hermione and Ron had both tried to have careful conversations with him in the past, but he hadn’t been receptive to it, and they’d quickly backed off.

“It’s because of your shitty Muggle family,” Draco continues.

Harry starts to protest, but Draco cuts him off.

“No, no. I know not all Muggles are shitty, but your family certainly was.” Harry can’t argue with that. Draco squeezes him gently. “I’ve been keeping a list, you know.”

“A list?” Harry’s no longer phased by Draco’s non sequiturs.

“Uhmmm hmm.” Harry can feel Draco nod. “All the ways Harry Potter likes to be touched: a comprehensive study by Draco Malfoy,” he says a bit smugly.

Harry finds that he can’t speak, for some odd reason.

“You don’t have to say anything, my dear. Just know that I know you, Harry Potter, and I will do anything to make you happy, even if you don’t know how to ask for it.”

3 ships: Drarry, Lamen, and, eh, how about Eleven/River Song, which I’ve just learned is called Yowzah.

Last song: Criminal, Fiona Apple

Last movie: Moana, but, like, half a year ago. My evenings were recently occupied with the Hermione fic, and now with the current paper art project.

Currently reading: I reread Prince’s Gambit and Kings Rising when we lost power for a few days earlier this month.

Currently watching: My kids playing Kingdom Hearts.
