Another year has come to an end, and I think it is safe to say that 2021 has been nothing short of a ride! As I know it has been for so many other people, the past couple of years have been...difficult, to say the least. In 2021 I stopped lurking within fandom--something that I have done since I was a teenager, so we won’t bother saying how long that has been--and finally became a part of this community. And I am so completely thankful that I shoved myself out of my comfort zone! 

I have found some of my best friends within this community, and I am constantly in awe of the pure talent and love that is shared here. So as one last BOOST for 2021, I thought we’d try something new and see how it goes! Perhaps we can make it a monthly tradition in 2022. Inspired by the lovely @the-starryknight​‘s TLC Tuesday’s, let me introduce DBC Rec-In’s. 

Respond to this post with anything that resonated with you this past year in fandom that you think, for whatever reason, should have a BOOST! Maybe something you or someone else created did not get the love that you think it should have. Maybe something stuck with you all year and you simply cannot get it out of your head. Maybe you just want to give something or someone a shout-out because you want to spread the love. 

Do it here! 

Reblog, share, and tag! Let’s spread the love and end 2021 with a BOOST!

Happy Tuesday! Last week, I asked you all to share your recs and help lift each other up, and you sure did. With over 100+ recs, I'm astonished and honored by this wonderful fandom. In the spirit of this, I've created three reclists based on your suggestions.

As usual, mind the tags + warnings, as I have not yet had the pleasure of reading so many of these wonderful pieces.

Two More Try-Something Rec Lists: "1k To Enjoy (1k-10k)" | "Long Fic Galore" Check out @yours-drarry, @drarryboosterclub, and @phd-mama's "May We Lift Each Other Up Challenge" for even more positivity 💛

Key: ✨ = rarepair, 💙 blue = published before 2021

Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for self-rec’ing your own brilliant work! This BOOST is for you!!

First and foremost, you absolutely didn’t deserve any of the hatred or negative comments that the troll left you. I am so glad that you deleted them. 

Second of all...wow!!

Okay, this was your first Drarry fic and it’s 49k? Kudos to you!! That is so impressive! I haven’t read your fic yet, but you can bet that I am adding it to my list. 

Harry Potter and the Chariot of the Sun by philosopherscribe

Hot on the trail of a Dementor-worshipping cult, Harry plays a dangerous game with an old enemy.

This fic looks absolutely amazing. A murder mystery with what looks like tons of twists and turns?! Yes, please. Let’s go give this fic some love!

After the recent slew of hateful comments that members of our amazing community were harassed with, regarding a troll’s belief that bottom!Harry is incorrect (we will not expand on the comments, as this is a safe place), the fandom decided to create more bottom!Harry content and gift it to each other.

Here are some of the amazing pieces that have been shared so far this week:

Delicate by @missdrarrydawn // Rating: E // Words: 2,458

Harry has a gentle heart, he needs to be loved and taken care of after everything he went through, and Draco is the one that wants to love him forever and ever.

Denial by @manixzen // Rating: E // Words: 2,069

Harry loves to let go of control, particularly after a hard week of work—and even when that means not getting what his body so desperately wants.

Depths of Adoration by @avenueofesc // Rating: M // Words: 104

Gods, but you love this.

Does It Feel The Same by @lucienneart // Rating: M // Words: 94

Written for the song prompt: Winner Takes It All be ABBA

Drarry Oneshots: A Troll’s Gifts by Graydove71 // Rating: M // Words: 6,416

A collection of one short stories with a Bottom Harry Potter and a Top Draco Malfoy.

Harry is a little cockslut by hufflekerfuffle// Rating: E // Words: 639

Harry loves dick so fucking much. He loves bottoming.

Mile High Club by Anaxandria // Rating: E // Words: 1,527

Harry tries to convince Draco that planes have their perks, especially chartered jets with fully reclinable seats.

Sensitive, Desperate, Unrestrained by @rockmarina received a PODFIC read by @thunder-of-dragons // Rating: E // Words: 837 // Length: 07:30

Draco fucks Harry senseless. Oh, and they're in love.

The best thing about fucking Harry Potter by @andithiel // Rating: M // Words: 133

A list of the things Draco loves about fucking Harry, in no particular order

The Cabeceo by Anaxandria // Rating: E // Words: 1,583

Cabeceo: the traditional, non-verbal way for a leader to ask a partner to dance in Argentine tango. The leader nods. If the follower doesn’t look away and stands up, they accept the offer.

Or, how Harry accidentally accepts Draco’s offer to dance.

The Only Thing That Matters by @phd-mama // Rating: E // Words: 2,924

To be honest, every time Draco’s pictured having sex with Harry Potter, he’s always assumed he’d be the one bottoming.

That’s certainly what everyone else does.

Here are some other bottom!Harry and top!Draco fics from before the most recent onslaught that you should also take a look at and support:

Beautifully Bound by @tsundanire // Rating: E // Words: 54,933

Auror Potter is sent on a mission to clear out deadly artifacts from a Death Eater Safehouse with Draco Malfoy. What could possibly go wrong?

Behind the Fire by @tsundanire // Rating: E// Words: 1,733

The problem with PDA is that they hardly know when to stop, until at least one of them loses control. Unfortunately for their friends, that control is usually lost somewhere in public, or you know... during an innocent floo call.

Have yourself a kinky little Christmas by @keyflight790 and @tsundanire // Rating: E// Words: 21,433

As the holidays loom, Harry feels the weight of everything and everyone he'd lost. Working as an Auror, while exciting hadn't filled him with the same kind of satisfaction he'd assumed it would. It takes one extremely kinky secret admirer to pull out a side of him he'd been pushing away since his youth, and actually make him want to come into work everyday.

In the Golden Light by @tsundanire inspired by Golden Hour [ART] by @bluebutter-art // Rating: E // Words: 486

Draco has Harry tied up, on his knees, and honestly? Is there anything better than that?

“I’ll Figure It Out.” By @vukovich // Rating: E // Words: 2,625

For the prompt: "Don't let your mouth get you into something that your ass can't handle."

Harry's mouth repeatedly gets him into situations his arse can't handle.

Then, he finds himself in a situation his arse can handle better than his mouth.

Unspeakable Perversion by @tsundanire // Rating: E// Words: 5,161

A group of boys return to Hogwarts for an eighth-year and find themselves sharing more than just a room.

Do you have others that you would like to add to this list? Reblog and share your recs!

One month ago, people within our community were sharing their New Year Resolutions about fandom. Many people wanted to write and create for the pure pleasure of it, the pure joy. They wanted to create without any stress about what the thought they “should” be doing or creating, and without any real or implied deadlines. Others wanted to read more content that others produce, not because they were expected to read it but because the work was something they were interested in. Even more wanted to become more engaged in the fandom space, and to focus on building relationships with people who support them, challenge them, and remind them of why this community matters. 

How have those resolutions been going?

As the first month of 2022 comes to a close, let’s reflect on our goals for this year. Have you made steps to accomplish your fandom resolutions? Have you created something that you’d like to share? Have you read or seen someone else’s work that has inspired your own goals and creativity? Or have you even just formed a new friendship with someone that you’d like to send some love to?

Rec a fic, some art, a podfic, or simply a person. Whatever you’d like! What is your January 2022 Rec-In?

lauren3210’s brilliant fic, Tie Me Up in Knots was recently plagiarized on AO3. We will not identify the person who plagiarized Lauren’s stunning work, nor will we link the fic in question. It is our belief that by doing so we would only be fueling the fire.

Nevertheless, we urge all of those in fandom to be aware of what they are reading. Fandom is supposed to be a safe place. We should not fear that our work be plagiarized or reposted—writers, artists, and all creators. We create out of our own love. To plagiarize, repost, or claim something as your own when it is not is a sure fire way to kill fandom as a whole.

Give credit and kudos where it is due.

Give respect where it is due.

Whether or not you, as a participant of the Drarry Community, are aware of what has recently happened, please go and give some love and a huge BOOST to this brilliant, original work:

Tie Me Up in Knots by lauren3210 | Rated: M | Words: 2065

“Harry, are you wearing a Slytherin tie?”

Absolutely you can! Here is a huge BOOST for @m0srael ❤️

Haley is an absolute gem. Everything they write is positively stunning; I am constantly in awe whenever I read their work. Plus, they're an absolute sweetheart. And the fact that they mod so many different fests and communities...wow!!

Just a quick little reminder to whoever sees this that you are amazing, and talented, and the world is better for having you in it.

Love always,
