Little Compton Street (One Rainy Night in Soho) by Writcraft Artwork by LLAP115
Harry/Draco (Explicit, 65k)
Draco is lonely, Harry hates the press and it won’t stop raining in London. Harry discovers a magical street that’s close to disappearing forever and Draco realises he’s one rainy night in Soho away from finding everything he’s been searching for.
This fic!!!! I’ll never make it justice with a simple rec so I won’t even try. This journey is incredibly atmospheric and thought provoking, it sucks you in like few fics do, and by the end you wish you could obliviate yourself just to read it for the first time again and again. Such a wistful, healing and immersive narrative, with lovely and human characters, gorgeous dialogue, a painfully real yet sensitive approach to queer themes and brilliant scorching smut that took my breath away. The amount of research that went into this made it an ode to queer history, to resistance, to love and to hope. Thank you @writcraft for allowing me into such a magical and inspiring universe!
My “Liv Day” started with one of my favourite people @tackytigerfic reblogging one of my favourite fics by one of my favorite authors @writcraft. Auspicious, right? Despite being a very short rec - can’t believe I used to write only one paragraph recs at some point, sounds fake but ok lol - I’m incredibly proud of being able to put my rambling thoughts into words, and of coming up with one of my all-time favourite banners, for a fic that means so much to me. I revisit this universe in my mind every now and then, forever lost in the magic of that first kiss scene at the club, in Harry and Draco’s earliest conversations and intimate get together, in their shared discoveries and contact with queer history ️
These are Tacky’s tags, which sum up beautifully our friendship and our love for Drarry and for this fandom. I feel so lucky to have both in life, and I’ll be forever grateful to this blog for bringing us together
Your enjoyment of Little Compton Street means such a lot to me @sitp-recs. This is one of the fics of my own that I probably revisit the most (is that weird/arrogant to say? I hope not!) because I like to escape to Little Compton Street every once in a while and it feels like home. It means the world that you like to visit the universe too and spend time there <3
