Mise en Place is the perfect example of why Crow’s work is so fun to read. They do an incredible job of characterizations and nail both Harry and Draco’s hesitancy. Crow always writes situations that feel so real and plausible, which allows their characters come to life.
Whether you prefer cilantro or parsley (I like both, by the way) you’ll love Mise en Place as much as I did. Make your favorite comfort food, then enjoy this lovely and warm comfort read that will make your heart feel full like it’s just eaten a warm, buttery, and crisp cottage pie. And when you’re done with this fic, you should definitely check out his other stuff for dessert!
As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please show your appreciation and leave the creator a kudos or a comment!

So glad to have @the-starryknight join me this week for our Happy Hour Rec!
I’ve long been a fan of Starry, from her own incredible writing to the lovely encouragement she gives to the Drarry fandom with her TLC Tuesdays! Just like everything else she does, her recommendation is equally amazing. Settle in, because you won’t want to miss Starry’s thoughts or this brilliant rec!
❤️ Lots of Love and Happy Friday ❤️
- The Drarry Librarian
When the Librarian reached out to see if I’d want to collaborate on a rec, I was so floored and so excited. I love seeing this blog around on my dash, spreading joy through recs and asks, and the weekly Happy Hour never fails to share brilliant pieces by beloved authors. Reccers are at the heart of community building, sharing resources and love for each other — and the Librarian does exactly that.
Today, I’ve brought a fic that is a few months old, by the brilliant @softlystarstruck When I was thinking about which fic to pick (and there are so, so many that are dear to my heart), I thought about the kinds of fics that tend to get a little less love. The Librarian has been working on some Historical AU recs, so… why don’t we go to space?
Every detail — from Starship Hedwig to Crown Prince Draco of Scorpius — fuses the world we know with this fantastical adventure in space, weaving these characters seamlessly into a believable new universe. This fic takes every Han Solo-Firefly-Trek universe fantasy and fuses it into a delicious, confident Harry. You won’t want to miss him.
“Crown prince or no, he could kill me and take my ship the second my back is turned. Though he did manage to fuck up piloting a Silver Swan, so that’s doubtful. He couldn’t handle a fraction of Hedwig. “You have to come to the cockpit with me though.”
The style is unique and sharp-witted.
Bee writes beautiful, warm love stories, with an eye for tenderness. In this fic, they manage that gentleness with a snappy edge through alternating Harry and Draco first person POVs. Each character is brilliantly developed, with subtle differences in their voices that make each shine in their own right.
“Yeah, I’m keeping him.
He just looks so lost, sitting in the chair with his fingers twisting around themselves. It’s obvious that he usually keeps his guard up– it comes across on his sharp tongue– but his facade keeps splintering and his panic spills through.
“There’s a one million unit reward on your head,” I say, and his body goes entirely still. “If you’re returned to Scorpius alive and unharmed.”
Yeah, it’s hot as hell.
There’s no other way to put it, this fic scorches! The dynamic here is hot, the way that they negotiate during sex feels sexy and charged with attraction, and really, you can’t blame Draco when Harry looks and acts like an even hotter equivalent to Han Solo.
“Poured out underneath my thighs, Draco looks like starlight made human. His pink lips are parted, and his breathing is shallow as he looks up at me. Stars, I’m going to make this good for him.”
Ahh hooray! So excited to share this rec and to collab with the amazing @thedrarrylibrarian. Thank you for sharing space with me, and for all the wonderful things you do for this fandom. And the rest of you, go read this fic

Zolf Smith congratulates you on making it to Friday!
[ID: A video of a meme redraw with Zolf Smith from RQG. The video is a single frame of Zolf over a blue floral background with the text “Congratulations sailor, You made it to Friday!”. Zolf is a white dwarf man with short white hair and a braided beard. He is slightly smiling as he stands holding a large glaive to his side. The video is 25 seconds with an accordion track from Spongebob playing over it. End ID]

The Duck Avenger strikes fast against the invading Evronians!!!
For those not in the know, Donald Duck has a popular, long-running comic in the European Disney comics scene as a super hero called Paperinik! (or Phantom Duck or the Duck Avenger over here), when he’s not having bad luck, or doing odd jobs for Uncle Scrooge, he’s saving the world from supervillains and the emotion-harvesting aliens: the Evronians
