Summary:

One moment, Harry was minding his own business, going about his workday, and the next, he found himself being dragged across the Ministry by a red string that had somehow curled up in a pretty little bow around his wrist. A story of fate, smut, falling in love, and a string named Harold.

(*ﾉ´∀｀)ﾉ . * ･ ｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

“Feeling a bit peaky, actually,” Harry said upon kicking off his shoes in the entranceway at Grimmauld. “Want to get some takeaway? My treat.”

“Sure,” Draco said, flicking away the rain that had caught them only briefly on the front doorstep. Thunder crashed loudly outside. “Good night for a laze about, anyway. Indian?”

Harry hummed. “Sounds lush. Any special requests? There’s a place up the road that delivers, so we don’t both have to brave the rain.”

“Samosa, naan. Something with paneer; not Vindaloo, please.”

“‘Kay. Let me call it in and then we can head upstairs and slip into something more comfortable.”

Draco raised an eyebrow, and Harry blushed. “I just meant not our work clothes, Merlin.”

Draco hummed knowingly, but let Harry call in their order and dutifully followed him up the stairs without another word. Once in their now-shared bedroom, though, he began unbuttoning his shirt without even turning away.

“What?” he asked, cocking his head with a grin as Harry watched on.

“Nothing. Nothing at all; please, carry on.” Harry collapsed onto the neatly-made bed, making to take off his socks but not removing his eyes from Draco. Inch after inch of gloriously pale skin was revealed to him, the inky black of Draco's magical tattoos swirling over his torso. A burst of flame erupted from a two-dimensional dragon’s mouth, the dragon eyeing Harry warily.

Harry shrugged off his robes and rolled down the sleeves of his button-down, beginning to unbutton his own shirt. His eyes flicked from the tattooed dragon's up to Draco’s, who was watching him with something akin to hunger.

“What?” Harry asked, winking at Draco. He tugged loosely on Harold, pulling Draco’s right wrist away from his task and urging him towards the bed. Draco grinned, stalking to the bed to stand between Harry’s legs.

Harry reached his hands out tentatively, wrapping them around the backs of Draco’s legs. Draco tucked a finger under Harry’s chin, tilting his head up to look at him. “Did you want something?” he asked sweetly.

Harry hummed, sinking his fingers deeper into the meat of Draco’s thighs. “Maybe.”

Draco ran his thumb over Harry’s bottom lip. “You’ll have to ask nicely, if there’s something that you want.”

Harry opened his mouth a bit, brushing his tongue over the tip of Draco’s thumb before sucking it into his mouth. He watched Draco’s smile widen and his eyes go dark. “What a good boy,” Draco said, and Harry shivered, using his tongue to take in more of Draco’s thumb.

Draco pulled his thumb out, spreading Harry’s spit over his bottom lip before inserting his pointer finger into Harry’s mouth. Harry sucked it in, biting down on the fleshiest part gently, then harder. He watched Draco’s eyes and nostrils flare. “Oh, this is going to be fun, isn’t it, darling?” Draco cooed. “What do you want?” he repeated after a moment, pulling his finger out of Harry’s mouth to allow him to respond.

“Kiss me,” Harry breathed, tipping his head back further. Draco’s fingers drifted down and wrapped loosely around Harry’s neck as he leant down. Harry could feel Draco’s breath ghosting over his lips, his whole world whittled down to Draco’s eyes and tightening grip around his neck.

“Good boy,” Draco breathed, finally brushing his lips over Harry’s own. Harry’s eyelids fluttered shut as he allowed Draco to control the kiss, pressing them together again and again. He felt Draco’s tongue slide over his bottom lip and opened his mouth with a quiet moan.

A sharp knock rang out from the floor below, and Harry cursed himself for removing the Fidelius Charm all those years ago. Draco stepped back, releasing Harry and leaving him to flop back on the bed with a half grunt, half groan. “That was fast,” Draco said, sounding frustratingly unflustered.

“Ugh,” Harry replied, palming his half-hard cock through his jeans. He sat up just in time to watch Draco pull a clean muscle tank on.

Draco pulled a t-shirt from a drawer and tossed it to Harry. “Come now, mustn’t keep our food waiting.”

What Have You Been Hiding Under Those Robes, Professor Malfoy?

Summary:

After an accidental explosion in the Potions classroom, professors Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy have to utilize the emergency showers at the back of the classroom. Harry is surprised to find that prim & proper Draco is positively covered in tattoos. And… are those nipple piercings?

You can probably tell where this goes.

Excerpt:

“Merlin, I’m so sorry, I should’ve asked f一 mmph!”

He was saved from saying anything more by the press on Draco’s pouty lips on his own. It took just a moment for his brain to catch up to what was happening and respond, pressing back insistently and tilting his head up for easier access. Draco brought both of his hands up to cup Harry’s face, pulling him closer and closer still.  

After a few long drags back and forth, Draco pulled back. Harry was happy to find heat behind his eyes, black overtaking more of the grey than usual.  

After a breath, Draco responded to Harry’s earlier statement, hands still on his face. “No, you didn’t do anything wrong, that was perfect. I just couldn’t go another second without kissing you.”

“Oh,” Harry grinned lopsidedly. “Well, can we do that again?”

Draco returned the grin, bringing his lips back to Harry’s. As they traded staccato kisses, Harry could feel Draco’s smile against his mouth, and a warm pool gathered in his belly. He ran his hands up and down Draco’s back, imagining the swan that lived there. 

After a bit, Draco pulled back again. “Hi,” he said, just a few inches from Harry’s face.

Harry smiled harder. “Hi.”

“You said that you’ve wanted me for a while, is that true?”

Harry bit his lip and nodded. Draco’s thumb traced his jawline, catching gently on his stubble. 

“Why didn’t you say anything before? I’m, like, always flirting with you,” Draco teased.

“You flirt with everyone, that’s unfair!” Harry exclaimed.

“That’s true,” Draco said, chuckling a bit. “But mostly with you.”

“Well and, I don’t know, you’re always so buttoned up and proper, I figured you’d never want to slum it with me, Weird Sisters t-shirts and all.”

“Mmmm, I would slum it with you every day, Potter,” Draco purred. “I want to wear one of those Weird Sisters t-shirts and nothing else, see what it does to you.”

Magnificent Maddy, beautiful @thebooktopus, sweet special someone...here's to you!

Maddy started this excellent month last year, so it seems only right I start with her this year! All the effort and LOVE Maddy put into her posts last year? Incredible. I checked every day, so excited to see who she would talk about. I ended up following several new people last year thanks to her, and checking out many new stories (even for ships and tropes I don't normally read!) And I walked away with many new friends!

Following March last year, I was deep in Snarry-a-Thon hell, having actual meltdowns trying to write Contempt. Listen, I'm a mess on a good day, especially when writing, but never more so than writing Contempt! And when I was sobbing and second-guessing myself, Maddy was one of the lovely humans who offered to look at my draft for me and who encouraged me to keep going. Truly, I have no idea what I would have done without her and others' help! My poor precious fic would have ended up in the trash, if not my whole laptop on fire! Her time and care meant so much to me then and is still so special to me now, knowing how important her help was in finishing a work I love so much.

There is such goodness in Maddy's heart, and her generosity and kindness are so inspiring and incredible. She has been an absolute sweetheart! Of course, Maddy is more than just the love she gives. She is a creator in her own right! So many goodies she's made, a variety of ships and stories! I've specially selected FIVE to recommend to you! And if you can, please be sure to leave Maddy some love!

Galaxies in Their Eyes

Ginny/Luna. Rated: T. Words: 350. Trans Luna. Self-acceptance. Love. Affection.

This moment exists for Luna and Ginny together, here and now, and across all of the galaxies.

I Fell Heavy Into Your Arms

James Sirius/Teddy. Rated: E. Words: 15,638. Secret relationship. Falling in love. Minor Scorbus. Fluff & smut. Next Gen Fest 2022.

James has moved home, and he's all grown up. Teddy takes notice. 

Or: how James and Teddy tried to keep their hands off each other in the lead-up to Albus and Scorpius' wedding and didn't exactly succeed.

I Wanna Be On You

Draco/Harry. Rated: E. Words: 6,565. Roommates. Friends to lovers. Fluff & smut. H/D Wireless 2022.

What is it about Draco singing off-key in their kitchen that pushes Harry to admit his feelings? One thoughtful act between roommates that leads to so much more.

Life After Quidditch

Marcus/Oliver. Rated: E. Words: 11,000. Enemies to lovers. Injuries. Minor Drarry. Minor Ginsy. Charity auctions. Fluff and smut. Wood You Rather 2022.

After a career-ending injury, Oliver Wood is forced to take an early retirement. And what does early retirement look like for famous Quidditch players? The charity circuit. Galas, bake sales, auctions—you name it, Oliver’s agent had signed him up for it.

Oliver didn’t know what to expect from this new life, but it certainly wasn’t Marcus Flint popping up at every turn. Or for him to be friendly and welcoming, unwilling to let Oliver stew in his self-loathing. Or for him to look so good in yoga pants. Or to fall for the git.

Space Girl

Ginny/Luna. Rated: M. Words: 350. Love-letters. Kinkuary 2022. Face-sitting.

You, my love, my moon. I worry sometimes that you are just an interloper here, destined again someday for the stars. People comment that your head is in the clouds, but I know the truth: it’s the whole of you up there, floating around, unbothered and ungoverned by the laws of this world. 

Oh, also, can't forget last year's Mutuals March Masterlist!

Hey what’s up hello. As y’all know I have 0% chill. I’ve also realized hyped > shyness so I’m just gonna go for it.

We all know @thebooktopus​ Mutuals March has been *epic.* Today is the last day of March so though Maddy wrapped hers up, I had to make an addition 😈 and gush about the mastermind behind the tag.

The first fic I ever beta-ed was one of Maddy’s, and I’m still awed that she’s trusted me with not one but two of her fics. She is *incredibly* supportive and welcoming -- like the cool kid on your first day at a new school that makes you feel more like yourself. But wait, there’s more. She’s a mod on the Wotterworld discord, a prefect on the Care of Magical Creatures discord, one of the mods of @hp-nextgen-fest. She writes, she betas, she recs. Her Mutuals March posts have often mentioned how someone is such a gift to fandom, well I’d like to say that she’s a damn gift herself. 

She has 17 excellent works in her repertoire, and I’d like to highlight this one --

Perfecting His Craft / Scorbus / E / 3.3K

When I started writing soft smut, this is the fic I kept going back to for inspiration. It’s so *real,* sexy, and sweet. I love Albus and his determination / obsession with getting Scorpius off. And SCORPIUS! I don’t know why but I picture him extra soft and gorgeous in this fic. I think it was the image of Scorpius making the first move and *asking* if he could kiss Albus, so gorgeous!!!! I just love them and this fic so much ❤️

Honestly I could go on about every fic of Maddy’s that I’ve read, but I have a feeling some of y’all will want to join in so I’m not gonna hog all the fics 🤪
