I Loveeeed Your Fic Rec List! Can You Rec Me Some Other Snarry Or Drarry Fics That You Stayed Up All

I loveeeed your fic rec list! Can you rec me some other snarry or drarry fics that you stayed up all night to finish because it was so damn intriguing?

Hi, anon! I was planning on doing individual recs for each of these fics in the future, but your ask gave me a handy excuse to put them all in one post! These are some of my very favorite fics, and I read all of them after making all my top ten lists. The best thing about these ships is the seemingly boundless amount of talent when it comes to writing. I’ll never run out of amazing things to read! Oh, just a side note, but all of these except one is rated Explicit. I read a lot of smut, so if that’s not anyone’s thing, sorry in advance!

Drarry Fics

Title: That Old Black Magic Author: bixgirl1 Rating: Explicit Words: 77,777 Highlights: Arranged Marriage, Marriage Law, Enemies to Lovers, Lovers to Friends, Friends to Lovers, Magical Theory, Magical Lore, Family Histories, Parseltongue Harry, Slow Emotional Burn, Falling In Love, House Magic, Lots of lovely NSFW tags Warnings: Forced Marriage, References to Canon Character Death, References to Alcohol Abuse, References to Childhood Abuse/Trauma, Mutually Dubious Consent due to magical bond Summary: Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm — ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war... with Draco Malfoy.

Thoughts: Look, I’m gonna admit right off the bat that this is now number one on my favorites list when it comes to Drarry. Bix is just it for me, perfect in every way. I’ve loved every single fic of hers I’ve read. That said, the characterizations are fucking spot on, and to borrow from my own comment to the author, the most delicious thing about this pairing is their friction, and boy does she deliver in that department. The banter, the sexual tension, the slow burn as they slowly grow closer. Guards eventually lowered, their hearts becoming as close as their bodies were from the onset.. I’m waxing poetic, but seriously, read this fic. I beg of you. I laughed, I cried, and everything in between. The smut was dynamite, but the sheer raw power and vibrancy of the feelings conveyed through this author’s gorgeous writing is what keeps me coming back for more (and by more I think I’ve read it five times.. so far, haha).

Title: Nearly Lost Things, Carefully Tended Author: SquadOfCats Rating: Explicit Words: 46,653 Highlights: Humor, Epilogue What Epilogue?, Post-War, Grimmauld Place, Antique Appraiser Draco, Memories, Slow Build, Redeemed Draco, Layabout Harry, Courtship, Harry Potter Fails at Courting, Feels, Explicit Sexual Content Warnings: Angst Summary: Three years after the war, Harry is lost, drifting, and feeling left behind. In an effort to get control of his life, he commits to cleaning out Grimmauld Place top-to-bottom and forcing it to be a home, whether it likes it or not. The rotten old house is stuffed full of antiques, and Harry is shocked to discover none other than Draco Malfoy running the local antique shop. Malfoy is polite -- too polite, and Harry soon finds himself with a mission: to annoy and bother Malfoy with the most hideous, absurd antiques he can find. But along the way, Harry comes to appreciate Draco, his work, and the power of connecting to the people who came before him. It's a hard lesson, but Harry learns that if he wants to build a future, he has to reconnect to his past, and Draco might just be the one to help him do it.

Thoughts: I quite literally stayed up until 4AM finishing this fic one night. I know because I said so in my comment on the fic itself! The premise was so intriguing, and I was already a huge fan of one of the author’s other fics. This one didn’t disappoint at all. I laughed so much my sides hurt, and the flirty banter between Harry and Draco was so amazing. The underlying theme of Harry seeking to deepen his connections to the memories of people he'd lost and reconnect with those still there was very poignant. Draco and the ‘resonance readings’ he did on the objects Harry and other people would bring into his shop was a really cool concept. I can’t recommend this highly enough. It’s another one I can see myself reading over and over again.

Title: Dragon Heartstrings Author: JET_Playin Rating: Explicit Words: 23,825 Highlights: Soulmates, Red String of Fate, Explicit Sexual Content, HP: EWE, Hogwarts Eighth Year, Fluff, Romance, Implied Relationships, Falling in Love, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Tall Harry, Hurt/Comfort, Oblivious Harry, Oblivious Draco, Top Harry, Bottom Draco Warnings: Angst, Misunderstandings, Angst with a Happy Ending Summary: Draco has seen the strings for almost as long as he can remember, but they don't mean anything. Anything at all....

Thoughts: I love soulmate fics. No really, it’s my favorite trope, and this fic absolutely does it justice in spades. We get to see a bit of Draco seeing the heartstrings throughout his early childhood and skipping around through his years at Hogwarts before settling into the meat of the story during his and Harry’s eighth year at school, which was really nice. Draco’s characterization really stood out in this fic. I loved how genuine his remorse felt while retaining his prickly personality. His and Harry’s slow slide into falling for each other was exquisite, and I was an absolute sap over the use of endearments by Harry (personal headcanon satisfied, haha). It’s an excellent read. You really can’t go wrong here.

Snarry Fics

Title: The Boy Who Died A Lot Author: starcrossedgirl Rating: Explicit Words: 71,767 Highlights: Humour, Drama, Character Study, Canon Rewrite, Slow Burn, All the feelings!, Happy Ending Warnings: temporary MCD, Dark Humour, Angst with a bit of horror, brief attempted noncon (not between main pairing), Suicidal Ideation and Attempt, morally grey and flawed characters Summary: Harry’s always been known as The Boy Who Lived. Only Severus knows that this is a lie. (Or: a portrait of Severus Snape, in seven acts.)

Thoughts: I was fully expecting this to be crack fic and nothing more, but boy was I wrong. Severus’ characterization was wonderful, and his slow growth in his regard for Harry nearly did me in. I laughed a lot throughout this. The dark humour tag is well earned, but it worked for me. There were so many poignant moments in this, and I cried more than once, not gonna lie. Heed the warnings because there’s some heavy ones, but I found the amazing writing and a plot that just sucked me in and wouldn’t let go was well worth the bruised and tender heartache that was eased by the promise of a happy ending. This is recced a lot, but I can definitely see why. It’s a great read.

Title: Corresponding Shapes Author: bleedcolor Rating: Teen and Up Words: 5,516 Highlights: Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Soul Bond, Romance, Fix-It of Sorts Warnings: Harry has some angst Summary: For a very long time he hadn’t known what the names meant. He’d woken up the morning of his 7th birthday and there they were; red as blood, one more thing to brand him as a freak in the eyes of his aunt and uncle.

Thoughts: My comment on this is a rambling mess of devotion. Bleedcolor manages to convey what feels like a rewrite of canon in 5.5k. She is either a magical being or made a deal with the devil. I can't quite decide which. Harry is exquisitely written in this, and I just went to pieces at the end. The changes to canon are very deftly done, and it feels like we get so much more story than the word count would at first indicate. Seriously, if you like soulmate fics, this is one of the coolest (and loveliest) Snarry ones out there.

Title: Halfway to Hornsea Author: ac1d6urn Rating: Explicit Words: 30,472 Highlights: Hurt/Comfort, Small Towns, Seaside, Muggles, Auror Harry, Spy Severus, Patronus, Slow Burn Warnings: Dark Magic, Angst Summary: As Auror Potter's first mission goes terribly wrong in Atwick, Yorkshire, will Severus Snape's curse-breaking knowledge and family roots be enough to save the day?

Thoughts: I'm in love with this author's style, and they created amazing art for the fic as well! Harry and Severus' characterizations were spot on, and the addition of Severus' mother Eileen was particularly enjoyable. I loved the slow, meandering way in which Harry and Severus drew closer together. This is one of the better hurt/comfort fics I've read, and that's saying a lot as it's one of my favorite tropes.  I can't recommend this fic highly enough. It's a winner for sure.

Saw this come across my dash thanks to the lovely @triggerlil and had to reblog, as I found it particularly comforting having just come out as nonbinary myself last week. 💛💛💛

There is no scale for nonbinary. There is no ‘not nonbinary enough’. If you’re nonbinary, you’re nonbinary. There isn’t a competition. You don’t need to have ‘this’ amount of dysphoria, or even change your pronouns. You can just be nonbinary. 

I promise you are enough. 

You are whole. 

Please reblog this if fanfiction has been beneficial to your mental health.

You are worthy of so much love! 🍓❤️️ A message to anyone who might need the reminder.
