💚 Where Are You From?

All i wish for 2024 is every creator to start that project they’ve been thinking about, write those fics they have been planning, make messy art, and to have as little burnout as possible.

💌send this to the twelve nicest people you know or who seem to have a good heart and if you get five back you must be pretty awesome.💌 💞

touch starved harry and practiced casualness draco is nailed, taped, stapled, laminated, into my brain.

scene from: 9-1/2 Days by magpie_fngirl!

He loves it

If you have not read this fic, please let this gorgeous bind (not by me, but for me in an exchange with another binder, @slbindery) convince you.

The fucking quotes! I suppose you could consider this a spoiler alert so I’ll hide them.

(Need I remind you to go look at this post of @littlewinnow’s now?)

I'm actually working on a typeset of the entire twenty-two cards series as a gift for the author, so at some point I will be sharing my own version. But for now, feast on this.

The rest of the thread is here.

tl;dr: Don’t monetize AO3, kids.  You won’t like what happens next.

☆ Happy Holidays from the fam! ☆

Friends, go read One Question by @heyjude19-writing, who wrote a ficlet so hauntingly good, based on this art, and gifted it to me.

I am not okay.

did the boy live?

i blame this song and @heyjude19-writing ‘s prompt: disappear

You articulated a profound truth about our shared community, and it’s the reason why it’s just so beautiful to take part, or simply be part of it. Thank YOU for the works you share with us. Five years, ackkk!!! I cannot be coherent enough, but please have this. It’s me with Wield Me, and all the works you’ve written that I’ve read so far.

“Email: [AO3] tackytiger posted Wield Me”

The moment i received this email, I just knew that I will be allotting a very specific, nonnegotiable time to lie down and read.

That scene. When Draco thought of the way Harry and Teddy looked at the archway and realized what their mission is. Harry and Draco’s something. That part. Harry. Teddy. Draco’s thoughts. His work. Harry’s leg. How I suddenly had a newfound appreciation for blacksmithing, so artful and intricately described, and other things I wanted to mention, which, by the way, is everything.

Okay. Deep, deep, inhale.

Wield Me is so, so, vivid. I felt cold water run down my spine at the atmosphere and how it flowed so phenomenally. I’m not in the slightest bit kidding when I say I ugly sobbed all the way through. After reading the last word, I slumped, and stared blankly at the wall as I felt all the tugging in my chest. I just can’t believe I’ve read something so divine. Thank you.

P.S. I hope you feel better with each and every day!

Dear @kk1smet, what a delight it was to get this ask. I think many fic writers would agree that one of the nicest things is hearing not just that someone liked their fic, but what they liked about it. it always gives me such a thrill, even now, nearly five years after i wrote my first ever fic (five!!! how???) because it reminds me that fandom is part of a wider tradition of storytelling within a community, of sharing and of giving. to get to chat to people who love these guys as much as i do, and to feel part of something that's more than just me at a laptop writing for myself. plus, a comment like this lets me get to know you a bit more, and find out what makes you tick, and i love that!

truly, i never expect comments, and I never want anyone to feel under pressure to leave a comment. but that just means that when i do get a comment like this, it comes as the most beautiful and thrilling surprise. thank you so much for taking the time to send this, and for all the wonderful art you gift us with.

Oops. Smut? Full art here.
