A Side of Reconciliation

Title: A Side of Reconciliation

Rating: E

Word Count: 4,396

Summary: Draco and Harry have been sleeping for far too long without talking about their feelings. Join them on their first date and a level of awkwardness only they can achieve.

Sequel to "From Prince to Pet" but can be read as a standalone.

Excerpt + my favorite line from it below:

“Draco squirmed slightly in his chair, uncrossing and recrossing his legs to hide the small shift of his bum. Thankfully, the pristine white tablecloth of the muggle restaurant hid the dirty stain of his growing problem. Flushing a bright red, he looked up to his dinner companion. Harry, the bastard, was looking quite pleased with himself. He was wearing a Mona Lisa type smile that told you he was hiding a secret.”

““A toast.” Harry raised his glass a little higher in emphasis. “Ron, Hermione and I do this whenever we have dinner together. Hermione’s idea, although we had to shorten it. She originally wanted to say ‘to being child soldiers fighting the previous generation’s war.’ Didn’t quite roll off the tongue, a bit redundant, so we shorted it.”“

A quick note to fellow Enemies to Lovers shippers,

(Especially younger ones)

I hate to break it to you, but you have to stop arguing with people who disagree with your ship online. (For more reasons than that it causes a toxic fanbase.) You aren't going to convince the people actively against your ship.

I know it's hard, especially because it's not just that people don't like it, but because people likely actively hate and work against your ship. Unfortunately, that's because by nature, you're shipping ENEMIES to lovers. When two characters start off opposing each other, especially with one character blatantly in the wrong, people have a hard time accepting the two could ever see eye to eye let alone fall in love.

Basically, it comes down to this:

A lot of people don't believe that others have the capacity to change. Afterall, the whole dynamic of enemies to lovers relies heavily on there being some huge change in both of their mindsets.

In shipping dynamics, I find that the people who fall into this trap of stagnant mindsets are young highschool and midderschoolers. They're probably very focused on the there and now and don't think things will change much outside of their very small worldview. They're in an awkward place where they have been heavily influenced by the few strong opinions they've experienced since birth. They haven't seen how different the world outside their bubble is. Most importantly, they're not going to suddenly change their mind on your ship. (But don't worry, they will grow.)

The truth is, people in real life marry their bullies. They switch sides in wartime for reasons other than self-interest, they reflect on their actions and with help realize what they were doing was wrong. Apologies exist for a reason. What happens in middle or high school is not the end.

Tldr, People CAN and DO change as they grow and as an enemies to lover shipper you see that. It's hard for a lot of people to accept this and your arguments aren't going to change that, only time can. So step out of shipping wars and enjoy your ship with everyone else that ships it.

It's better if you ignore it. Trust me, I ship Drarry.

How do I clear chunks from vomit from my sink? My roommate invited a friend over who locked herself in our bathroom and puked INTO OUR SINK even though our toilet was right behind her.

"How can platonic BDSM be a thing". It's whatever Sam Reich is doing to his friends on Game Changer actually.

Awww. The World Phoenix was the Karmic doom matchmaker. Cute

some jason doodles

the intimacy of "how do you know that?"

"because I know you."

who tf is this guy???

modern au if it wasnt obvious :3 and fully coloured version of the first page under read more!

Keep reading

Jason: … the bed’s too small

Clive: Oh! I can get a bigger one. Actually, we can probably just sleep in the same room from now on. Turn your room into a study because it’s smaller. More more efficient for storing documents.

Jason, internally: … oh no

Jason: What if we have guests? (And they see us sleeping together)

Clive: We’re married.

And now Clive is offended

A modern day AU where Clive is a lonely researcher and Jason works part time at a dumpling soup shop and at an office supply store.

Clive only goes out for three things - food, office supplies, and basic necessities. Somehow he runs into Jason doing all three of these. And somehow, the chef/server who will let Clive rant about his research, coworkers, the university (all while looking very interested), remembers his name and says hi to him every time they see each other.

In the first day of summer, I’ll be waiting for you
