Drarry Fic Rec: Set One

Owl Was Well by @fencer-x 66,820 words

Draco Malfoy is not an owl, really he isn’t. He simply assumes the shape of one on occasion when he wants to find a bit of privacy—a goal entirely thwarted because Harry Potter doesn’t understand you can’t just grab any old bird from the Owlery and force it to send your missives and deliver your packages.

The war is over and “eighth year” is about to begin at Hogwarts. But for Harry and Draco, nothing is quite the same. Harry’s looking for an escape, Draco’s looking for a friend. Does a little black bunny hold the answers for both of our boys?

Draco has to face the truth of who he is. The truth has long hair and slobbers.

This set is pretty self-explanatory: In each story one of the boys is a (reluctant) pet and the other one has no idea about the identity of their new companion. All of them are humorous and unusual explorations of the dynamic between Draco and Harry.

Owl Was Well made me snort out loud on the public transport (multiple times), He Was He and I was Bunny is charming and sprinkled the exactly right amount of angst and Ain't No Friend Of Mine is hilarious, witty, dark and surprisingly profound. Enjoy!

Found a chest expander (for trans women 🏳️‍⚧️) at my local arcade in a southern state. They were out of chest binders looks like. So cool to see LGBT representation like this. Pride month!!!!

Selling 1 ticket to the August 12th "Free! 10th Anniversary ‐Memories of Summer‐ 前夜祭"

Hey friendos!

I applied to the lottery for the two upcoming Free! events on August 12th and 13th, thinking I'd get neither--and winding up getting a single ticket to both!

I've decided to sell the ticket to the event on the 12th, as I'm personally more interested in going to the main event on the 13th, so for anyone interested in going to this likely-to-be-absofrickinglutely-awesome pre-event, hit me up!

Some details:

Date: August 12, 6 PM start (doors open at 4:30, ending around 8 PM) Location: Saitama Super Arena Event contents: Orchestral concert of Free! music by TEAM KATOTATSU, plus some guest appearances from the Iwatobi Channel hosts (via video I believe) Price: $70 USD or 9500 yen

(as the tickets have not yet been shipped, I am unsure where they are located in the arena)

Please message me if you're interested in grabbing this ticket! I'll do a hand-off in person in Tokyo once the tickets have been shipped to me (I'd prefer not to mail it, just to be sure it doesn't get lost or delayed).

Feel free to reblog this to your friends and other Free! fans!

Fic Recs Wrap Up - May 2023(ノ゚∀゚)ノ⌒・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*☆
If there’s one thing Draco’s certain about, it’s that Harry Potter’s hiding something. When he gets to the bottom of Harry’s closely guarded secret, a flippant solution brings them closer together and forces Harry to confront his past. Rec Post
Harry has to go back to Hogwarts to get his NEWTs, and being well into his twenties he figures the course will pass without too much trouble. Enter Snape’s old Potions book, a bonding spell, and Draco Malfoy. Rec Post
Draco has borne the mark of the Dark Lord for over ten years. It is familiar to him, but he pays the price for it every day, and Harry has noticed.
Featuring artwork by @alekina Rec Post
Harry should have come out and met someone when he was younger. He should have seen a doctor about the pain in his hip while youth was still on his side. Now, he’s made his peace with dying young, but maybe not with dying alone. Draco should have got the Kiss. He should have died in Azkaban decades ago. Instead, guards throw him in a Ministry lift with a dying man who could stand to live a little. Rec Post
Draco supposed that starting Eighth Year in Hogwarts fucking Harry Potter was a good start. Both of them were in the closet, for a lack of better words, and both of them were having fun with each other, no bonds attached, no uncomfortable talks, no need to tell their friends whatsoever. It was good to both of them, especially when you considered that the Wizarding World was stupidly ignorant and homophobic, and Draco was already suffering enough because he looked like he was gay. It was better just to keep it a secret. But when Draco suddenly finds out he ended up pregnant of Potter’s child, there was nothing he could do except face the world and reveal his secret. Would Potter accept to reveal his, too, for the sake of this new life? Rec Post
In which Draco is a Veela and Harry is his mate.
“When Draco Malfoy turned 16 years old, he thought he’d make a night of it. He went to a club, met a bloke, and then promptly took himself next door pay-by-the-hour hotel, determined to get the most bang for the Galleon, in a manner of speaking.
Not even one full Galleon into it, Draco Malfoy lost his virginity.
It all went just how he’d always imagined it, and it was, all in all, a bloody good time.
Waking up the next morning, however, next to a bloody ribcage and a man’s intestines strewn all over the bed like thick wet streamers - that was a bloody bad time.” Rec Post
Harry doesn’t want to waste his time investigating illegal dragonhide trading, whether it involves a fetish club in Knockturn Alley or visiting a remote island in Wales. Why the bloody hell does Malfoy always have to be up to something? Rec Post
When Draco discovers Harry Potter is his new landlord, he’s convinced he’s going to lose his shop. When Harry discovers Draco Malfoy’s been invited on his friends’ annual ski trip, he’s certain his holiday is ruined. This is the story about how neither one of them is right. Rec Post
Months after their divorce, Draco requests a huge favor from Harry. Rec Post
Here are a few more fics I've read recently that y'all might like to check out as well! (ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧
Harry Potter has a crush on his roommate--like, a BIG one--but he can't say anything to him, can he?! Naturally, he does what any early 2000s young adult would do and asks the internet for help, and gets a lot more back than he expected.
It was "Witch Weekly", of all people and organizations, the first to notice and comment on The Boy Who Lived’s absence from the ranks of first years at Hogwarts. The magazine went on to elucubrate that the young hero was studying at a foreign school, possibly Beauxbatons or Holzschuhkäse.
In 2020, Hit Wizard Harry is starting to enjoy his life. He’s divorced, and no longer Head Auror. His biggest project these days is trying to remodel 12 Grimmauld Place for him and the kids.
Draco Malfoy is recovering from his wife’s death. But is happy with his Ministry position as Temporary Head of the Department of Intoxicating Substances, and with his son who he adores.
This all changes quickly when Minister Shacklebolt decides not to run for another term. The assumption is that 'all is well' in the British Magical world, and that Hermione Granger-Weasley will easily be voted in as the next Minister for Magic. However, Draco knows better. He knows she has a strong competitor who is wooing those who live in Knockturn. And if he wins, the Ministry, and all that has been accomplished the previous twenty odd years, will be destroyed.
You’ve learned to ignore the stench of perpetual horniness that Harry—twenty years old and finally free—exudes. That is, until you walk into the kitchen of Grimmauld Place and find him naked, spread over the table, with Draco Malfoy pounding into him from behind.

In Bad Faith by fencer_xSoldSeparately Art by @secretartlair with fic written by @fencer-x

Draco Malfoy just can’t catch a break. Between the magical curse upon his bloodline, his hair misbehaving, and that strange pit full of demons in his basement that he had absolutely nothing to do with, it just hasn’t been a banner year for him. Luckily, Harry Potter is here to make things ten times worse.
MALFOY HEIR FOUND ALIVE IN WEREWOLF FIGHTING RING
Three years ago at the tragic Battle that freed our great Wizarding World from the grip of a megalomaniac Dark Wizard, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, our world lost many Witches and Wizards. Among the dead and missing was Draco Malfoy, the only son of notorious Death Eaters Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, both of whom volunteered their home for He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to use as a headquarters. Sources have confirmed that the young Malfoy took a vow to follow in his parents footsteps by taking the Dark Mark.
Inside sources have uncovered that the Malfoy heir has been found alive. Aurors recently went undercover to expose a fighting ring involving illegal potions and unregistered werewolves. Among those rescued was Draco Malfoy.

Random, but does anyone have any suggestions on how they store their extra nendoroid parts? Mine are starting to pile up and I need to start thinking of an actual storage solution instead of random little boxes I’m definitely gonna spill and lose parts from some day.

HEY FRIENDOS.

One week from now, we're celebrating the 4th anniversary of the greatest movie of all time, Promare!

At 8 PM JST (7 AM EST, also the 24th, sorry USians), we'll be watching the Promare super cut (a recut version splicing in the Galo and Lio shorts where appropriate, subs by yours truly) on the stream server here.

Any and all are welcome, whether it's your first time or your fiftieth! Come hang out so we can celebrate this awesome movie together!

And if you’re wondering why you should care about this movie or be interested, have a summary:

A massive explosion wiped out half the population of earth, leaving behind fire-wielding mutants who seem to delight in burning down cities and giving rise to a technologically advanced fire-fighting force. One of the fire-fighters winds up facing off against the leader of the fire-wielding mutants, and they uncover a cover-up that could doom the planet.

Or:

A himbo firefighter and a fire-wielding mutant twink team up to stop climate change.

And a trailer for your viewing pleasure, so you have some idea of what you’re signing up for:

I hit for both the pre-event 前夜祭 and evening show for the Free! 10th Anniversary event???!!!!???

Paypal question

So I used my paypal debit card to buy something from KyoAni's online shop recently. I got a receipt from them for a completed credit card transaction, got a "You paid XXXX to KYOANISHOP" notice from paypal, got the money deducted from my account, all was good.

Then today...I got another "You paid XXXX to KYOANISHOP" notice from Paypal. I was confused, since I could have sworn I'd already gotten a notice of payment being deducted a few days ago, so I went to check my account.

And sure enough, two payments (same amount) had been deducted from my overall balance.

I checked the transaction history, and I see this for the first payment:

and this for the second that just went through (AFTER I had already received a completed payment receipt from KyoAni a few days ago):

So, people who've fucked with Paypal before, any suggestions what I should do? I can't open up a dispute, because it says it isn't approved for 'this kind of transaction'. Is Paypal just holding on to my money for some reason, and eventually I'll get it back??

This is why I don't use my paypal debit card -_-; something stupid like this always happens.

How's life treating you?? I hope you are great and living la vida haha :D greetings!

Aww, I'm so glad you thought about the novels! I love it when I randomly get hit with a bit of nostalgia. Life is good here! Still scanlating, albeit not as prolifically now :) Being able to share good stories with the masses never gets old!

Hey wonderful fencer! I was wondering if you did soft subs for FS2? Your FS1 subs are by far my favorite 😁

Happy to share the link privately if you message me 😘

I'll have details up later, but mark your calendars for the evening of the 24th Japan-time (early morning 24th for USians, decent hours 24th for Europeans) cause WE'RE GONNA STREAM THIS BITCH.

just wondering what do you think of hinny in the books? do you like them? not looking to cause trouble here, i'm just genuinely curious.

Nah, don’t care for them. There was next to no build-up, and there are other characters with much more interesting relationships or potential relationships with Harry.

No one ever accused JKR of being a good writer though lol, so it’s par for the course.
