"middle Aged Women Shouldn't Participate In Fandom" And You Think It's Teenagers That Are Writing Those

"middle aged women shouldn't participate in fandom" and you think it's teenagers that are writing those brilliant, incisive 100k fics of your favourite characters

Daniel Radcliffe in Miracle Workers: Oregon Trail "What happens in Branchwater"

I've lost a Drarry fic title/author. The fic may have been part of an AO3 Christmas or Advent Fest, but I've looked at a few and can't find.

Draco makes potions post war and lives in a village. He's visiting the Manor and opens a Christmas card from Pansy and her husband. The card is charmed with a huge light display. Unsuspecting Draco opens it outside and causes a crisis. People report weird lights and the Aurors get involved. Draco is still on probation from the war and has to have weekly Auror visits. Harry is the Auror! He's nice enough to split the visit between Draco going to the Ministry and Harry going to Draco's lab in the village. Other details that might help are that Draco leaves his table scraps for foxes in his yard. A young Auror helps Harry with the visits. Draco and this other guy get friendly, do a pub crawl, and Harry gets jealous.

Thanks for any help, mods and fellow readers.

Sorry, we could not find this fic. Maybe one of our followers can help!

Aaaaah I’m official!!!!!!

Complete fics posted on AO3 this day

1. Only Connect by @innoodlewetrust [T, 25k]

►Harry is a dark-wizard catcher. Seven years after the war, nearly all of Lord Voldemort’s followers have been captured, tried, and imprisoned. Or else, presumed dead. There isn’t much left to do for an Auror whose glory days are behind him. Isn’t that what Rita Skeeter wrote in her latest column, that Harry Potter has become irrelevant?

I had this idea is my head for a while that at some point Hermione would get fed up and need time away—not just from Ron or Harry, but also from the politics of the post-war wizarding world. Anywho, I recently turned the idea into a story (Only Connect, 25k), where the Golden Trio are experiencing a bit of a quarter-life crisis. It is a Drarry fic, of course!

Hello! I am begging for help!

Do you know any Drarry fics where Harry and Ron/Hermione became estranged after the war? Not necessary bashing but just going seperate ways for whatever reason? In any combination. Whether it's because Ron and Hermione started a family or maybe they got divorced and Harry had to choose a side (or still friends with both but has to spend time with them seperately), or they all went seperate ways, no animosity but no time to spend together. Or a big conflict that drove them apart.

Harry and Hermione together taking a step back from all Weasleys (read Molly) would be just amazing.

But I'll take anything at this point, I've been thinking about it forever. I need the golden trio that is not so golden and not so trio anymore.

It has to be Drarry, of course. Please, if anyone knows something like that🙏🏻

it also doesn't have to be resolved in the end, it could be just a fact

Dear nonnie, I wish I could help you, but I haven’t read this fic. Please re-send your fic search to @lostdrarryfics :)

Oh sorry, it was my mistake, I read your request in such a hurry and thought it was searching for a particular fic. Anyway for this theme, you can check a similar post from the masterlist : #The Golden Trio broken up

Do you ever remember an unfinished and abandoned fic from years ago which touched you so deeply that it still sometimes resurfaces and lingers in your mind?

And you’re just like, dear unknown author, i hope you are doing well, wherever you are. It wasn’t finished but i loved it, thank you for your words.
