misc Tips for asking for fic recommendations

125 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Recently, one of our community members shared some thoughtful suggestions on how to make these posts even more effective and easier to navigate — and we thought it could be helpful to collect those ideas here as friendly advice.

These are not rules, but we encourage you to keep them in mind if you want to get the best possible responses to your posts.

  1. Use clear and descriptive titles whenever possible.

Specific titles make it easier for other users to know right away what you’re looking for. For example:

Instead of: “Help me find this fic”

You could write: “Looking for an 8th year accidental bonding fic”

Instead of: “Looking for recs”

You could write: “Harry becomes a potions master — fic recommendations?”

  1. Consider checking if a similar post was made recently.

Sometimes many people ask for the same kind of fic in a short period of time. Before posting, it can be helpful to take a quick look at recent posts or use the subreddit search (sort by "new" instead of "relevance"). Of course, if you don’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to post your own request!

These are just recommendations to help everyone have a smoother experience here. You are always welcome to ask for recs even if you are not sure how to describe exactly what you’re looking for — the most important thing is that this remains a supportive and friendly space.

Thanks for being part of the community!

misc Tagging and Respecting Artists: Updated Guidelines

135 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We’ve seen an increase in posts sharing art without properly tagging the artists or respecting their repost policies. To address this, we’re updating our current existing rule:

From now on, posts that don’t include a link to the original artist in the description will be removed.

Here are some reminders to help us support the artists whose work inspires us:

  1. Always tag the artist. Include their name or a direct link to the original source in the description of your post. If you don’t know the artist, take the time to do a quick reverse image search or ask for help identifying them before posting.

  2. Respect the artist’s wishes. Many artists specify whether they allow reposting or not. If they’ve asked for their work not to be shared, please honor that.

  3. When in doubt, share a link instead of re-uploading. Linking directly to the artist’s original post ensures they get proper credit and visibility.

Our priority is maintaining a creative and respectful community. If you see a post that doesn’t follow these guidelines, please report it so we can handle it appropriately.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us create a space that values and respects artists!

misc Fanfic idea, specific fake dating

5 Upvotes

Sometime ago I had a good idea for a fake dating drarry fic, I don’t know if it has been done before but there we go. So the idea is that they pretend to be together during the summer as some kind of exchange, Harry wants to make the Dursleys angry or annoyed and Draco wants to do the same with his father because of something bad he did.
And they talk about how they’re gonna act around one another’s environment.
Any thoughts? Do you like it?

Fanart Harry from Chasing Dragons

114 Upvotes

I'm sharing this one here because this is your fault. So yesterday I asked you about your favorite adult Harrys in fanfiction.

Long story short: my TBR list has grown considerably but... BUT I did know and love some of the recommended ones. And one of them was CHASING DRAGONS by the_sinking_ship.

If you haven't read this one: I envy you, wish I could read it for the first time too. In this Harry is all sexy energy, perpetual frown and smirk, stubble, leather jacket and motorcycle riding energy.

I utterly love this Harry too and I can't believe I had forgotten him.

So this is Harry number 2 who will be added to my composition of favourite Harrys and it's all your fault.

If you want to check out the drawing process it's here https://www.tumblr.com/lulusasantusa/831651223783587840/so-so-i-asked-the-reddit-community-for-their?source=share

Help me find this fic LF FIC

3 Upvotes

LF a fic where Draco is pregnant (cuz by SA sadly) and in trial but he asked for help from Harry to testify for him. And due to Harry's hero complex, ofc he decided to help Draco raise the baby lol. This leads to their relationship progressing but didn't confess bcs they think they're not worthy of the other lol. Also I love how they made Scorpius take Harry's surname. Pls help me find this fic, thank youuu.

Give me fic recommendations plots that revolves around one or more similar tags?

10 Upvotes

I don't know how to explain this, but I'm looking for fics where the entire plot (or at least the beginning) revolves around one tag. For example, Oxytocin is about Draco's insomnia, the whole fic (and it's reeeeeally good); and the scientific method (it's bkdk, not drarry, sorry) revolves around izuku getting hard (lol) around a crying kacchan (just an example I remember). It doesn't even have to have smut; if the dynamic is fluff or angst or anything, I will still enjoy it. 🙂‍↕️

I'm gonna leave some tags if someone has recs 🐍 (please don't judge my taste :(, and if you judge, at least leave some recs too!)

•praise/praise kink

•biting/biting kink

•kissing (like excessively or 5+1)

•accidental subspace

•accidental dom/sub dynamics

•painplay

•fighting as foreplay

•bullying (draco)

•saviour complex (harry)

•veritaserum OR legilimency (better if accidental and the one affected is really trying to hide it)

•forced proximity or die(?

•hanahaki

•vampire who is too shy to ask for blood lol

•NON traditional alpha/beta/omega

Fics I recommend Fic recommendation “Prop up the saviour” (Indescribably good)

Post image
125 Upvotes

HOLY shit, I’m not gonna lie I’ve never been much of a Harry Potter fan before, I didn’t even know drarry was a thing until a few days ago. This artwork is from twitter by Dalya, their @ is owomante and a few days ago some of their hpdm art appeared on my timeline. They have a bunch more artworks and their art is seriously amazing (can I just say that Draco is drawn exactly as I imagine he’d look like drawn), please check them out on twitter. They singlehandedly dragged me into the Drarry fandom.

They’ve mentioned their art is based off of a fanfiction named “Prop up the saviour” and I decided to check the fic out. It’s absolutely amazing. I have no words to describe it. It started a little slow at first and took me a few days to get into it, but when I got into it boy was I addicted. It honestly reads like a well-written, published book, and everyone’s personality is very true to the original story. I think the fanfic might’ve taken heavy inspiration from svsss/scumbag system by mxtx (if you know what I’m talking about) as the premise is very similar. The original fanfic was written in Chinese but it’s currently being translated on AO3 with permission from the original author I think. That’s presumably why some of Dalya’s artworks say chapter 80 or 100 when only around 50 have been translated.

Lofter version (original in Chinese): https://www.lofter.com/front/blog/collection/share?collectionId=28909494&incantation=hj0iOHMJ5lRZ

AO3 (English translated) version: https://archiveofourown.org/series/6522586

I’m not sure why but the ao3 version isn’t released in chapters, but stories of a series, it still works the same though as you just have to click “next work” for the next chapter.

Genuinely it’s so good I had to come on Reddit to recommend it and I haven’t used Reddit in months. It’s so good I stayed up until 4am to finish the whole translated (AO3) version and I had an exam at 7 that morning. If you know Chinese, please support the original author on Lofter omd I swear I’m gonna start learning Chinese to read the original and support the author. If you have similar works, please recommend them to me.

Hiii,

I’ve been slowly getting back into Drarry, and I’d really like some long fics, preferably over 100k, to obsess over.
I’ve been reading ‘Two to shore’ and literally anything by laughterloveandlarry. So I’m really enjoying Hogwarts setting fics, whether they start from 8th year or a rewrite.
But I don’t mind anything else either, it just needs to be a long fic I can binge :))

Thank you!!

Drarry discussion Where do you guys share fic prompts/ideas?

10 Upvotes

I have so many Drarry fic ideas and prompts that I desperately want to read (or write in an ideal world lol), but I can never seem to find exactly what I’m looking for or actually manage to turn the ideas in my head into a full fic.

Is there anywhere in the fandom where people share prompts like these, even if they’re just little plot bunnies or half formed ideas? I know there used to be a Tumblr page for this but from what I can tell it hasn’t been active since 2023.

I’d love to know if there are any active blogs, communities, Discord servers, etc. where people share ideas or if there’s a place for this kind of thing in the Drarry fandom!

Give me fic recommendations Drarry with Dramione-Draco

22 Upvotes

Hi, sorry if this is a strange request but I got the sudden urge to read Drarry where Draco is similar to the characterization of him in Dramione fics. For example manacled, breath mints and battle scars, the auction, secrets and masks. I much prefer to read about Harry and Draco falling in love, but I don’t think I’ve come across one with that type of Draco. I think it would be amazing 🖤. Any recs are very appreciated!

Prompt discussion 📝 Drarry Random Trope Generator

16 Upvotes

Hi all!

Recently I was stumped for ideas for a time-sensitive challenge, so I decided to create a simple spreadsheet to randomly generate a fanfic prompt based off of a list of common tropes in the fandom. I'm sharing it here in the hopes it might help someone else if they ever find themselves bored and wanting to write something but lacking any immediate spark or inspiration.

The tropes themselves are all SFW (though of course you can write any rating you wish), but I'm happy to create a second tab in the spreadsheet if people would like a tool to inspire spicier/kinkier pieces.

I'm also happy to add to the trope list, if you think of something that should be rolled into the randomizer. There are over 100 tropes included at present, but there can always be more. Add a comment here, and I'll add it to the list!

Drarry Random Trope Generator (google sheets)

HOW TO USE

The reference tropes are listed in Column A, while Column B is a randomly generated selection of three of those tropes. Feel free to use just one, or take up the challenge to work them all into a single piece!

Don't like the tropes that were generated? Just refresh the page to get a new batch--or heck, ignore the generated tropes altogether and pick your faves from the list. I'm not your mom!

ETA: ...Okay the link is no longer private. In fact, it was never private! You saw nothing, or rather, you saw everything!

Give me fic recommendations New to Drarry and looking for enemies to lovers recs

11 Upvotes

Hi! I want to get into Drarry because I see so much potential in the ship, but I’m scared I’ll end up reading something where they’re immediately into each other and there’s no proper enemies to lovers.

Does anyone have any recs for a Drarry beginner where they genuinely HATE each other at first? Preferably something dark with lots of obsession, possessiveness or jealousy!

Help me find this fic fic where draco is a popular author and harry reads all of his books.

17 Upvotes

it was a fic that i read ages ago, where draco is a very popular author (and he mainly writes romance books), and ron is annoyed by him, because quite literally everyone reads his books (I think even Molly and Hermione were big fans). Harry (i think he was an auror but idk, it wasn't too important to the fic) has read all of dracos books, harry really likes draco. and then turns out draco also liked harry and that the books where about them both. and i dont know how but essentially ron gets them together, and i think draco writes him a book at the end (i dont really remember).

i've been going through my bookmarks and stuff and i js can't find it, it would be so great if anyone could help me find it!

Give me fic recommendations Please recommend some long, angsty, school era fics

10 Upvotes

I’m newer to Drarry and there are some fics I’ve read and absolutely loved

Evitative
Heir apparent

Honestly that’s about it but I’ve been wanting to read something that is very specific yet also very common:

- would absolutely love bully romance and/or enemies to lovers
- prefer long fics over one shots or short fics
- jealousy, pining
slow burn
- dark academia- so school era preferred
- love triangle with other characters, anyone from Ron to Blaise, anyone really

If anyone is familiar with Weasleyship, I’ve read a lot of their Draco x Ron x Harry love triangle fics and really love those.

I know so many of these requests come up, but really am having trouble diving into Drarry.

Thank you so much 😊

FINISHED MY FIRST FIC, SEEKING CRITIQUE/ADVICE

Thumbnail archiveofourown.org
35 Upvotes

Hey guys! A little over a year ago I came on here and shared that I was writing my first ever Drarry Fanfiction and that I wanted some advice. My goal was to write one of the funniest Drarry fics ever written. I HAVE FINALLY finished it and I would really like if some of you guys could take a look at it and let me know your thoughts! I truly am seeking honest critique because I would love to write another one and I want my next one to be even crazier and funnier so please let me know!

If you're looking for a funny and chaotic 70,000+ word SLOWBURN banter-filled fic, this should be a great fic! No TWs and the tiniest amount of angst. I'm linking it to this post. It is called 'Fight Till We're Finished' by avatarkat on ao3. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Yesterday I realised that my favourite Drarry stories tend to feature older Harrys who've grown and changed. So naturally, I decided to draw ALL my favourite fanfic Harrys together in one big illustration (clearly I am NOT okay).

And OBVIOUSLY, I had to start with Harry from The Most Splendid Thing by lq_traintracks.

Desi, broad, gorgeous, sexy as hell... but also sweet, awkward, and sooooooooooo lovable and cute.

And OH MY GOD, if you haven't read this fic, I'm SO JEALOUS OF YOU. Imagine two very, like VERY competitive Quidditch stars who absolutely cannot stand each other, accidentally bonded so they literally CAN'T stay apart. The banter is vicious, the sexual tension is OFF THE CHARTS, the sex is gloriously glo-rious-ly filthy, and between all the insults, desperate touching, and competitive stupidity, these two idiots start falling in love in the most tender way. I laughed, I melted, I wanted to shake them both. IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD.

And the image I couldn't get out of my head? Harry in emerald green silk with gold embroidery, his long hair pulled back, looking absolutely radiant. I HAD to draw him.

Anyway, Harry nº 1 is officially on the page!

NOW TELL ME: Who are your favourite ADULT Harrys and Dracos from fanfiction? Not necessarily your favourite fics, but your favourite versions of them. Give me titles, descriptions, and WHY you love them. I need inspiration for the rest of this project!

PS. Harrys from S+ and Salt are so obviously going into my Harry panel too...
