Symptom Of Your Touch - MV

A fun little music video I made for @ghostofnoir for their INCREDIBLE jaw-dropping and awe-inspiring fic Symptom of Your Touch

Symptom of Your Touch is THE Drarry fic for me, so I wanted to gift them a little thank-you present for gracing the world with such an incredible story. If you haven't read the fic yet, I HIGHLY recommend it :)

Symptom Of Your Touch - the "movie"

--- starring:

NoxNoir’s sequel to Symptom of Your Touch is officially out!!!!!!!

Touch Me Like a Lover

If you haven’t read Symptom, I HIGHLY recommend it. The characterization of Harry and Draco in it is top notch—- and if you’re a fan of how I characterize Draco / Harry / Pansy and Blaise… then I think you’ll really like how they are in Nox’s work!!!!

A lot of how I see the characters in my mind was cemented/influenced by how they were portrayed in this fic (especially Pansy & Blaise!!). On top of that, Nox is an incredible author. ☺️☺️

Thank you @ghostofnoir for continuing to share your incredible work with us 💕💕💕

I adore you and this music video! 😍😍 it’s a dream come true ♥️♥️

His shitty attitude and grabbable waist have bewitched me

I'm your tumblr crush now. You don't have a choice.

Y’all we have to stop making eachother feel bad for having sexual attraction. Lesbians are allowed to be horny we don’t have to be sexless pastel princesses holding hands in a field or smth. Be horny, it’s frankly revolutionary to be a sweaty horny dyke.

1. Adjustments by @ladderofyears [M, 5k]

►When Head Healer Draco Malfoy gets pregnant, his whole life has to adjust.

2. Crush by @citrusses [E, 8k]

►Harry Potter has a secret admirer. Harry’s pretty sure that if this person figures out what an idiot he’s capable of making of himself, they’ll lose interest. So he turns to Draco Malfoy, reformed bad guy and stylish lawyer, for guidance.

3. i miss you now, i loved you (and i know things can still be worse) by @idioteqves [?, 3k]  *typo

►Harry’s Patronus changed. For the first year after the war he never saw his stag. By year two he was too scared to do it. By year three he missed his stag like an old friend. By year four he thought the war was over, what was the need for the Patronus charm in his arsenal anyway? […] In reality, it would take eleven years to see his Patronus again.

Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!

Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.

There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.

I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:

Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.

The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.

The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.

If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.

Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.

a pulled down shade by fast_brother

Made the mistake of bringing up that needing glasses is a disability on tiktok and people got real mad.

“You can fix it with glasses” yeah, cuz they’re a disability aid? But like, I still have to pay 160 bucks to use my own fucking eyes?

Like, by definition, if your eyes do not work without aid, you have a disability to see.

Having a disability doesn’t automatically put you in what people consider the “disabled” category, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is in fact, a disability.

Thank you to the person who brought this post back into my notifs because I just recently got a new pair of glasses!

And it only cost me $305!! What a steal!! A perfectly acceptable price to pay to be able to properly function in society! (Internal screaming)

Please always remember that glasses are a disability aid. Some of us literally cannot function without them.

Here's you're friendly reminder that you can get glasses for way cheaper than that: https://www.zennioptical.com/

Prescription no frills single vision lenses for less than $40, prescription sunglasses with custom gradient tint or mirror lenses for under $100.

Of course people without this disability get to just see for free, but at least this way you're not paying extortion prices that retailers like lens crafters like to charge.

My most reread Drarry fics

You know those fics you keep coming back to, no matter how many times you've read them? Well, I've got a few that I can't get enough of, and I wanted to share with you my love for them and for the writers of these incredible stories.

I've read those fics countless times. Some are angsty, others are fun and sexy, but they all have something in common: I've read them an embarrassing amount of time and I love them dearly.

Almost all of them are under 30k because, well, I don’t have enough time to reread longer fics, unfortunately (although, I do sometimes reread part of them, but that would have to be for another post).

Is this love? by @phdmama 3.8k

This is where I go when I need comfort. So achingly tender, soft and intimate. I love it.

Draco at nineteen by birdsofshore 5k

Older Harry from the future surprises Draco for his nineteenth birthday. Hot hot hot with feelings and a pinch of angst.

In His Nature by Create_Serenity 20k

Amazing veela fic with a vulnerable Draco who will break your heart.

Strings Attached by daisymondays 14k

Friends with benefits with a Draco very much in denial. Humour, banter, feels, smut. This fic has it all.

Once more with feeling by InnerLilith 28k

I guarantee that you will be a little bit in love with Harry after this fic.

8th year fuck or die. An absolute gem of a fic! The first chapter hurts so bad, but the pay off is worth it. The ending will have you grinning like a loon with your heart full.

All I have to do by @fluxweeed 9k

The hottest one shot ever. Incredible writing and such a delightful read.

Kiss the Joy (Until the Sun Rise) by ICMezzo 37k

This is such a raw, emotional and powerful story. A confined narrative entirely set in the room of requirement, right after the final battle.

Ship of Theseus by GallaPlacidia 18k

“When Harry gets amnesia and forgets he and Draco were ever married, he refuses treatment to remember”. My absolute favorite GallaPlacidia fic. Angsty with lots of pinning.

Invisible by Phoenixstrike 2.6k

Warning : infidelity (not between drarry) + threesome Drarry/Ginny.

This fic was written for a dialogue-free fest and is so underrated. It deserves more kudos. It’s brilliantly written and even though it’s very angsty and quite sad (for Ginny), I love revisiting it.

Finally, I couldn’t not mention @lqtraintracks - I’ve spent hours and hours going through their catalogue. There are so many fics that I adore and that I’ve reread over the years. I couldn’t possibly choose one.

And you, what are your most reread fics?

did the boy live?

i blame this song and @heyjude19-writing ‘s prompt: disappear

Stop 😭😭😭
