Dear Mr Potter, The answer is, and will remain, a no. Sincerely, Draco Malfoy, Accounts Manager, Phoenix Press / Or: the one where Harry has writer’s block and Malfoy isn’t helping. [H/D Mistletoe Exchange 2021]
The Aurors tend to assume that someone broke in That Night, and Harry doesn’t want to make them think otherwise. He doesn’t want them to know that it wasn’t a break in at all. That it was Harry’s fault… that he let it happen.
Draco, lost and a little broken, navigates post-war reality convinced that people like him should not be allowed to make their own choices. To solve the problem of his self-sabotaging tendencies, he starts taking a few drops of Veritaserum every morning. [HD Wireless 2020]
Harry’s in love with Draco, but it’s complicated. Even more complicated than ‘I’m in love with my ex-archnemesis and I get dizzy every time I see him smile’. So, as he’s done every year since he was eleven, Harry sets out to solve the mystery of 'Why is This Shit Happening to Me?’. [H/D Cluefest 2022]
Somehow Harry and Draco keep ending up on dates with each other - without really planning to. At some point it has to stop being a coincidence, right? [Harry/Draco Owlpost 2021]
Draco can already tell it’s going to be an exhausting night, because he needs to spend hours rewriting mismarked Ministry files with Potter. However, when he arrives at Potter’s home unannounced, he realises that Potter has entirely different plans. And entirely different reasons why it’s going to be an exhausting night.
Playing Truth or Dare with the Slytherins had been a terrible idea. Being pinned against a wall by Malfoy while still on bloody Veritaserum was… well, hot as hell, and more than Harry thought he’d ever get, to be perfectly honest.
When you took the Mungo’s third shift, you knew there would be weird shit. You just didn’t expect to find the most recognizable face in the Wizarding world shoved into a hospital cot beside Draco Malfoy.
The closest house is miles away, and the red clay earth eats sound. He had married Draco, had moved here in hopes of a perfect love, a fantasy romance, but something is terribly wrong with this place. Draco is nervous, and tells Harry with his eyes not to drink the tea that his mother serves. [H/D Cluefest 2022]
“You’re so beautiful,” Harry murmured in Draco’s ear. Draco suppressed a shiver; he could feel Harry’s heavy-lidded gaze across his body just as tangibly as he could feel the gentle touch of his fingertips across his scars. “Shut it, Potter,” Draco grumbled back. [HP Trans Fest 2022]
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
These wonderful works are ones that I’ve been spending a lot of time with recently. Bee has written so many incredible trans stories, and there’s a little of everything here. From clever AUs set in space, to brilliantly written kinky microfics, to the most tender and emotional snapshots of Draco and Harry’s love for each other, the thing that ties all of these stories together is the love that shines through in Bee’s writing. It was a joy to be able to bind these all together into one book!
This book spent 3 weeks in the mail, and really went on a journey to make it to Bee–I’m so glad it eventually found its way there safe and sound! The bookcloth and endpapers for this one are again inspired by the trans flag, and the lettering and cover are painted by hand. I was very intimidated by the swirly frame around the title, but it was actually easier to paint than the lettering and I really love how it turned out!
