Hello hello! I haven’t been around this past year so I can’t speak for 2025/2026, but here are some of my favourites from previous years. I’m sure my followers will be able to share some recent must-reads :) hope you enjoy!

2023

1) they’re literary foils who get to kiss. i think all literary foils should stop pretending they’re better than the other and just kiss.

2) two equally complex and sort of fucked up characters get to be shitty and feral but also kind. huge dramatic fights followed by tender moments of vulnerability. serotonin machine

3) i rmr reading the way down for the first time and losing it when draco would tell harry “you’re just a person.” it’s such a specific, humanizing dynamic in their relationship when u consider how much they’re both haunted by the need to be good. the guilt complex is a mile deep but 2 emo kings sometimes cancel each other out!!

4) i like characters i can bully and admire and they’re both a fuckin Mess but hot?? closed-off ethereal bastard 4 rugged dumbass with anger issues. that’s poggers

5) personally this text post makes me insane bc i think it is hugely romantic to be desired in this way

ugh hello what a sexy question

1. I love that they fucking hate each other and they’re miserable about it. I love intimate tension and there’s nothing more tense than the horrible little tête a tête they’re locked in - I love that every time they turn around the other one is watching and I love how we write them like that - I love often the thematic of forced bonding comes up with them or how like in Harry Potter and the Future he Doesn’t Really Want Thanks or like Strangeness and Charm where they’re just like pulled together and it feels so awful and inevitable to both of them. How worried they are that they mean too much to each other and ALSO just as worried that they don’t really need to mean as much to each other as they do. How they chose each other over and over every time and pretend that’s not what they’re doing!!! I LOVE that!!!

2. I LOVE how much they do not know how to accept care. It’s so fucking painful for them and they need it so bad and watching the excruciating sexy and emotional drama of that play out is like kisses to my brain. 

3. I LOVE how many extras this ship comes with. I’m so obsessed with big cast fics and that they each have their own friend groups with really fun fanon-version characters and I love writing them as one big gay friend group.

4. I love Draco because I am a high strung fussy twink bitch with a complex and I love Harry so FUCKING much I love that he tries so hard to be good and he’s so funny and weird and kind when he doesn’t have to be and curious and hates authority and sometimes fucks up and apologizes and never does anything halfway. Love those little fucks

Hi! I actually answered this question back in 2019 with the help of my girlfriend :D

All I really have to add to our old reply is that I love that they’re not canon. Most of the ships I’m invested in are canon, and their canon story already satisfies me, so I’m not really driven to writing stories about them. I already like their Story, so why would I? But we all know what the author thinks of Drarry (and of pretty much any queer headcanon of her characters), don’t we? Drarry will never be canon, and that’s great, because it means they’re ours. We can do whatever the hell we want with them, and canon will never give us their ‘true’ relationship story. We get to tell it again, and again, and again.

This is more of a human!wolfpack hc than just embry but:

Oh my, what a beautiful question!! I thought twice about posting this, but then I thought “life is short, who cares?” I won’t apologize for my thoughts even if there are so many of them, but I might say sorry for getting so personal:

I see a frightening amount of myself in Draco. He was my favorite character (dare I say, of any franchise) for many years. I relate to him more strongly than I do to many real people. I’ve been told I come off as kind, and I like to think I genuinely am, but it’s taken me a long journey of conscious self-improvement to get to that point. I can be arrogant, judgemental, selfish, snobby, somewhat elitist, self-centered, proud, and harsh (sound familiar?). These are deep faults that I’ve worked hard on, and now they are my minor shortcomings rather than my character traits. Draco embodies all of this for me. He was a reflection of myself when I was younger, and as I grew, so did he. I love him for all his originally shameless flaws, and then for his redemption. It doesn’t hurt that he’s drop-dead gorgeous (spent most of my teens crushing on him).

Draco is only one half of this coin, but he’s certainly what drew me to the ship. That let me rediscover Harry. Harry is damaged, and why shouldn’t he be? Fic doesn’t avoid that. He has nightmares and panic attacks and often faces a selection of anxiety/depression/PTSD-related struggles. His relationship with Draco (and vice versa) is not about overcoming these “barriers” in the face of romance (unhealthy) or about his partner miraculously “fixing” him (unhealthier). It’s about being able to continue living his life past the causes of his trauma, and about him learning to rely on someone who doesn’t and shouldn’t carry all his burdens but who can offer him support and love— something we all need. 

In my instinctive interpretation of Draco and Harry’s relationship, I’ve always believed Harry would also have the patience to deal with Draco’s dramatics (something I was personally insecure about for years), and would show him the sort of attention Draco undeniably craves. Harry has a keen understanding of what it feels like to be unloved, and it translates into his deliberate displays of affection with Draco and his tolerance for Draco’s numerous oddities. Draco, on the other hand, is the only person of the same age (apart from Ron and Hermione) who experienced a similar sort of trauma to Harry’s during the War. They were both controlled in their own way, both unable to diverge from a path others had set out for them. This once again makes it easier for them to support and understand one another. I love the idea of their opposing yet mirrored past bringing them together. 

But one of the most important reasons I love the ship is its original premise— rivals to lovers. There’s a clear distinction here. Draco did not bully Harry. Draco bullied Hermione (viciously, I’ll add), but he and Harry fought. No one falls in love with their bully, but I’ll tell you first hand that there is some major UST between rivals. Honestly. The punch-them-or-kiss-them trope was not born from nothing. These clichés start for a reason.

Enough philosophical rambling. I love them because they’re stupid, and adorable, and a ridiculously lovely embodiment of the phrase opposites attract. I love them because they often get to live out my ideal happily every after. There are wonderfully deep and complex reasons that I love their relationship, and then there are deliciously shallow reasons— like the fact that Auror Potter is a big Yes Please™. Or the fact that Draco is a drama queen, and that tags like Harry Potter Thinks Draco Malfoy is Up to Something exist on Ao3. 

Oh my! That's a question! So many things! They're so changeable with every story you get! But yet they're they still the same. I can see them in so many different ways. I never get tired of reading them. Each writer has their own unique style. And the same with the art! I just find them beautiful. I love all the different styles of art.
