I’m Sure Someone Somewhere Has Made This Joke Already, But This Has Been In My Head For Ages Begging

Nothing drives this society more crazy than a woman who doesn't hate herself

XV. Future

This is part of continuous story, you can read the first part here. Based off this prompt list by @peachydreamxx and @uncannycerulean

<- previous

The ambiguity of their relationship hung in the air. A limbo of the past and future.

Mornings they still had breakfast.

Now there was a gentle caress of hands as Harry made the food and Draco brewed the tea and coffee.

Nights they still had dinner.

Yet there were heated glances shared across the table, every look a promise.

Afterwards they still built their puzzles.

With the addition of kissing. Lots of kissing. Draco no longer felt worried Harry would catch him staring since the other would do the same and then they would kiss again.

The lines blurred and Draco didn’t know which ones he was crossing. Hunted with the mistakes of his past and the fear of the future, he chose to enjoy the limbo. To live within their gap and be happy with the present.

You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium

Oh dear.

Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.

Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number--deleted the fandom specific elements--, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)

BUT

Fandoms are built on a social contract that says we respect each others work, the effort people put into their art. We don't steal or disrespect the work of our peers. By feeding people's fanworks to AI you both steal and disprect it, and we need to make people realize that before it's too late--before fandom falls apart, because there will be no more real, actual fanworks.

Disrepectfully,

Orlissa

Welcome to the second instalment of G to E, a series where I share themed drarry fic recs. Each list has four entries, to cover the four main content ratings used on AO3.

Today’s list theme is epistolary!

💌 Matters of the heart by nerakrose (G, 5k)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Married drarry! Draco and Harry’s lives feel so lived-in in this fic; there’s career busyness and yearning for closeness and above all else, affection. Deeply romantic, I particularly love that their letters also reference the letters of historical couples (magic & muggle, both), positioning letter writing as a longstanding queer tradition!

💌 Per my last letter (I hope you choke on it) by @fluxweeed and @lastontheboat (T, 10k)

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.

I deeply relate to this author Harry, who’s trying to avoid working on his new novel. Arguing with Draco, of course, is the ideal distraction! This fic is delightful, and the epistolary format hints at the state of the wider magical world in a super clever way; through scribbles on napkins, fruitless job applications, and fun with anagrams.

💌 AITA for being "obsessed" with my childhood nemesis? by @rainstormradish (M, 4k)

Alrakis • I [24M] attended a small boarding school in the UK. There was a boy in my year, a couple of months younger than me, and he became my nemesis after we developed an intense rivalry. My friend [25F] told me recently that our dynamic was "weird back then" and that "it’s even weirder" that I still think about him today. She argued that I talk about him all the time, but I believe the amount I talk about him is reasonable. AITA? prongymcprongface • i completely get what you mean. i had a nemesis (like a school one, separate to my other nemesis) and we had a dynamic super similar to what you are describing. having a nemesis is a very cool and normal thing dw about it. NTA In which Draco asks the internet if he's being reasonable. Only one commenter is sympathetic. They start talking.

What would happen if Draco and Harry got internet access? They’d alienate everyone on Reddit apart from each other, of course! This is such a funny, brighten-your-day fic, told entirely through Reddit posts and text messages. It shows that Harry and Draco are weird about each other in the same way, and always have been. No one matches your freak like a nemesis!

💌 Pages of You by @wolfpants (E, 101k)

Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He's not ready. He really isn't. In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather's bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he's catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius's business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire. A story about trying to figure out who you are, where you're going in life, and who you want to take along with you.

Wolf’s epic non-magical AU has so much to offer (queer community in the 1980s! The trials of new adulthood! Background wolfstar!) and the epistolary element is no exception. The letters in this fic are used really skilfully to explore identity and expectations, and Draco and Harry’s personalities are perfectly reflected in the way that they write. The slow build of intimacy and trust is gorgeous!

WAKEY WAKEY

Just here to share the Italian judo winner kissing her girlfriend after the match, in front of our fascist, homophobic, disgusting prime minister.

idk much about the watcher lore but i like it when it turns grian purple

also here are some things about their designs i’d like to mention!

cleo - i don’t see much fanart of her contorting her body like a zombie!!! so here we are

bdubs - i was watching empires s2 when the hermits visited, and subconsciously drew him in the mc skin he had on at the time 😭

impulse - i remember watching a clip of someone saying that artists drew him as an “imp” because of his username so i ran with that!!

skizz - i dont come across much fanart of him and only had his mc skin (and vibes) as reference 🥲 i hope i drew him the way he sounds like though🤞

grian - i drew him before but i wanted to draw him with his beady eyes and his glasses this time!

watcher grian - tried going for a seraphim angel vibe (and added the lighting based from that arcane s2 scene of jayce getting possessed by viktor?? idk)

anyways i can’t promise if i’ll draw the rest of the members but…….here’s part 1!

the best woman in my style
