I’m afraid I can’t really express how much your friendship and your blog mean to me - you’re one of the most lovely, caring and kind people in this fandom and you absolutely SPOIL us with the amount of recs you created along those years - the variety of which is astonishing! I think I already said that at some point, but you seem to have a superpower to sense when one might need a boost and your well timed tags come to the rescue exactly when they’re most needed. You lifted my spirits more than once that way and I’m sure I’m not the only one - thank you so much for being the part of this fandom and for using your reading experience to guide us among the many fics that the super talented people of the Drarry Squad created.
For your blog anniversary I wish for you to always blog in a way that brings you the most joy and that our fandom will continue giving you as much love as you always have for others!
Now, to get to the part announced in the banner of this post: my wee gift for you is to try doing a rec list myself - and without furter ado, here’s a list of my 5+1 favorite rec lists that could be found on @sitp-recs - each of them featuring at least one, sometimes multiple, fics that I discovered thanks to you!
Maybe that’s because it’s so close to how much I love animals irl, but I absolutely LOVE IT when Draco and Harry interact with various pets, creatures and fantastic beasts in fics - and this particular list covers all of those possibilities!
One of my all-time-favorite-fic-tropes and thanks to this list I have a quick way of finding my fav time-travel!drarry stories (our tastes overlap here SO MUCH!). Also I endlessly appreciate you sorting your recs by the word count!
I know, I know, I so often say that I’m not a fan of a/b/o dynamics AND YET I can’t help it, your werewolf!recs have a certain ability to lure me into reading them anyway AND enjoying the hell out of them! The only reason it’s werewolf!Harry and not Draco is because I’m sentimental and one of the very first drarry fics I have read had werewolf!Harry in it.
This list is SO important to me because I used to be one of those people who would abandon fic as soon as I realized it’s written in 1st person - and miss out on so many amazing stories! Here was my chance on finding them again and hopefully it encouraged many people like me to give this form of narration a chance.
For a person who can only tolerate summer in the smallest doses I have a super soft spot for fics written in this vibe - I guess it’s just so much easier to enjoy hot weather when it’s not me melting in the sun? xD And this list contains so many of my ultimate favs too - our overlapping tastes strike again!
For the +1 I’m gonna cheat a little and link a list of recs instead of fics. I’m one of those readers who when they enjoy a fic A LOT will then go on a wild binge read of other stuff by the same author - and those lists give me similar vibe to that absolute need to appreciate a creator as much as possible. Also, I can’t express how much it means that you also found a way to recs us artist and that my name features on that list as well - I will never forget the flood of emotions I felt when I first read that post… ;_;
(My list links only a very few examples of Liv’s fantastic recs, so make sure to follow to her blog and check out all of them HERE!)
