💤 and I am waiting for you (even now) by flor_flor 🛌 [Hermione/Harry, T, 281]

💤 Met by Moonlight by Lysander_EventFics (Lysander12) 🛌 [Teddy/Victoire, T, 1.3k]

Bored at work, Theo agrees to accompany Luna to study a mountain-dwelling magical creature he's never heard of, but they get caught out in a blizzard and take shelter in a tiny, secluded cabin. His companion proves to be much more attractive and interesting than he ever imagined.

When Polyjuice fades and the consequences of a disastrous Gringotts raid come crashing down around them—complete with a blind dragon and a deadly flight over London—the cost of survival becomes terrifyingly clear. Stranded and shattered on a cold Welsh beach, the trio are pushed past exhaustion into something quieter and more dangerous.

💤 The Wood That Remembers by OliviaLH 🛌 [Draco & Harry, G, 2.2k]

Three years after the war, Harry Potter is beyond exhaustion—he’s hollowed out by it. Following dangerous rumors of the Nocturne Wood, a sentient forest that offers perfect, dreamless rest at the cost of waking, Harry is prepared to disappear. He doesn’t expect Draco Malfoy to find him.

Feeling cheeky, might delete later... Is there any interest in running HP Snooze Fest this year? It would be pretty chill, self-submit based on a list of sleeping-related prompts on AO3. Maybe Oct-Nov or Oct-Dec.

Well, look no further! HP Snooze Fest is here for all your sleeping needs 😴 We are a non-anonymous self-posting fest focused on sleeping and dozing. Simply upload your work to the collection or post on Tumblr between Oct 1-Dec 31.

💤 Rules

Participants must be age 18+! There will be explicit and dark content as part of this fest. Please follow the age restriction.

MUST FEATURE SLEEPING! We have a list of 50 snooze-worthy prompts to choose from, each one related to sleeping in some way.

All mediums welcome! Fic, art, podic, craft, bookbinding, playlist, moodboard, ASMR video... you name it, we love it!

Any length welcome! No length restrictions. Microfics, oneshots, and multi-chaps are all welcome.

Any ship, any rating, any content!* We follow SALS, KINKTOMATO, and DLDR. We love all ships, kinks, and content (explicit, dark, Dead Dove, etc). We will not tolerate ship bashing, kink shaming, or any targeted forms of harassment.

Tag your works! Please use the standard archive warnings (Graphic Violence, MCD, Rape/Non-con, Underage) and include common trigger warnings if applicable.

No AI-generated content! All works must be human-made (or creature-made, we suppose). Computers do not count as alive.

Can combine with other fests! If they're cool with it, then so are we. The more fests the merrier.

Self-prompting is allowed! Don't see a prompt you like? No problem! Just choose the self-prompt option during claiming. As long as your work features sleeping in some way, go wild!
