@the-sinking-ship is the best. she’s a fantastic cheerleader- she’s been reblogging and commenting on these MM posts like the goddess she is. she alphaed my very first drarry fic back in july and totally made me feel at home in the fandom. later, she was my beta for my Herbtamer fic and was so patient and supportive throughout. i can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done for me! I’ve been listening to some of her fic soundtracks while putting together the last of the MM posts this weekend and they’re so satisfying and creative!
because she’s awesome, sly participated in @fandomtrumpshate this year, raising an exceptional amount of money, but not only that - she’s doing so in exchange for a longfic. she’s an incredible writer- I’ve reccomended fics of hers before, so it was really fun to read a bunch of new works of hers to put this list together. you’re sure to find something you like!!
random superlatives and recs:
contrary Draco tries SO HARD not to admit his feelings: Stupid Love// E // 16K // Drarry // I absolutely adored this fic. it’s clever, full of confident Harry and prim Draco who absolutely hates everything about Harry. until he doesn’t. what’s better is that sly gifted usherselfartworkby@bluebutter-art as a fanniversary present and my goodness I could look at it forever. added a new fic to my favorites list with this one!!
further proof that sly is the queen of longfic: Criminal// E // 83K // Drarry // 83K and not a single word wasted. sly does many things well, but her Draco is exceptional. he’s snarky and unashamedly posh and horny and - he’s just the whole package. and the way that harry is able to cut through all of that, get to the soft, squishy center of him. ugh, it’s too good. also ft. artworkby@3lvendorkand by@fictional.
let me be the first (probably not but let me have this) to proclaim this a perfect piece of fiction: Finely Drawn Lines // E // // Drarry // thanks, sly, for finishing this up just in time for this rec list, you’re the best! what’s the opposite of slow burn? flash flood? whatever it is, this is that. it’s hot from the get-go, but filled with sly’s amazing and particularly lovely brand of pining and idiots in love. I tore through this and know you will, too.
I would do anything for these two, for the record: Things We Do // E // 16K // Drarry // I just want to keyboard smash because this was sweet and perfect and hot and captured that essence of having a crush and then having it come together and then the panic that it might not work out and then the elation that you’re going to try and and and and…
sly, you’re just such a gem and I feel very lucky to be in your orbit. I hope you’re having a great day!
