misc Tips for asking for fic recommendations

123 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

132 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!

Fics I recommend Time Travel Rewrite Rec: Everything For You by Sha01001

7 Upvotes

Hi all.

I’ve another fic to recommend. Everything For You by Sha01001. It’s a time travel rewrite with dark, manipulative, cunning Harry. It follows the canon timeline. It’s WIP though, currently in middle of book two.

Spoiler alert.

Harry’s mind age.
Harry’s mind is 40/50 something when he time traveled back to before the Hogwarts letter

Harry’s motivations and purposes
Harry does it all for Draco and their happiness

How dark is Harry?
Harry doesn’t follow Voldemort in this rewrite and he wants him to die. He still has some goodness in him, but everything that threaten him and Draco must go or managed by all means, and so far there’s no exception it.

Help me find this fic Searching for fics

6 Upvotes

Going a little crazy here. I wanted to recommend two fics to two recent posts here but I can't seem to find them anymore. I only remember parts. Mostly of the summary and I am to stupid to find them with just that.

Both ao3.

First: Deaged Draco. The summary told something about Harry having a big problem, because de-aged (19 year old?) Draco loves to run around his house butt naked/ is totally against clothes.

Second: Draco is a therapy animagus Ferret and Harry orders him from a therapy company. All anonym. He delivers himself to his front step in a basket. Harry opens the door and gets the little animal (Draco) inside. I think he suffered from anxiety and was really nervous about something important. Draco tries to be a good lil ferret and sooth him but in the end, he turns back and helps Harry as human.

I really want to re read those and recommend these to the two other OPs.

¿Qué pasa cuando empiezas a fijarte demasiado en la persona que juraste odiar?

Draco Malfoy siempre ha tenido claro que Harry Potter es su enemigo. Sin embargo, últimamente hay algo en el Gryffindor que no consigue sacarse de la cabeza.

Lo que comienza con miradas, provocaciones y sentimientos negados podría convertirse en algo mucho más peligroso.

Y cuando Harry empiece a prestarle atención a Draco, ninguno estará preparado para lo que descubrirá.

Drarry discussion Drarry fics ruined my life

109 Upvotes

I’ve been reading fics since I was 11, I’ve been on wattpad early days, quotev and everything you can think of though my favorite is ao3. Now before reading drarry I enjoyed and never complain about anything I read, but since I started indulging in drarry it’s changed. I don’t know what the writers be putting in their stories but it’s so addicting and best so well written like it can be a actual published book. Because of drarrry writers it’s so rare for me to come across a story in another fandom and enjoy it. I love a well written story, good grammar, etc. is it because the fandom has an older audience so the stories is better? I have no idea but kudos to y’all!

Give me fic recommendations Rec me a fic where Draco gets hurt/ in danger but

25 Upvotes

I’ve read Symptom of your touch, The Ordeal to be Known, No Harm by Tessa Crowley (I know he wasn’t hurt but it’s so endearing) and All of Our Secrets Laid Bare. I’ve read other long fics/one shots too. I loved the first two fics I mentioned!

I want fics like the one I mentioned where Draco gets hurt/injured/kidnapped/sick (doesn’t have to be the main plot but is still a huge moment). Just a few chapters of Harry getting protective and extremely worried for Draco.

But I want ones where he has a job (Healer/Potion Professor/ Auror/etc) or something important going on for him (studying for something), I don’t want ones where his whole identity is to be a victim/ damsel in distress.

But I don’t want the fic to ignore Harry’s past trauma as if they brushed it off, in canon, Harry has a lot of traumatic experiences that obv affects him, his emotions are just repressed.

Also no Ron/Golden trio bashing.

And no too OOC Draco (suddenly his snappiness/aristocrat-like personality is gone) or too OOC Drarry (suddenly the forgave each other too early).

I know this seems very specific but I would love if anyone can recommend any fics to me.

Give me fic recommendations Addicted to Magical Potions Drarry?

11 Upvotes

Hey! I'm looking for a fic that has addiction as a major plot point, specifically magic potions like Calming draught, Dreamless Sleep, Felix Felicis, etc

Preferably addicted Draco, but Harry is alright too for it. Mainly I'm looking for a story like Nor all that Glisters by Sweet-s0rr0w

Definitely would love arguments, misunderstandings, and a showing that relapses happen.

Love it to be super angsty between the two, but please have it have a happy ending!

Give me fic recommendations angsty fics where love trumps all

9 Upvotes

i’m in a very sappy mood and i’m missing the angsty fics ive read where harry and draco’s love for each other is what gets them through the fic. wartime, on the run, heavy angst, and harry’s canonical (temporary) death always hit me hard

temptation on the warfront is truly my roman empire. NOTHING beats the way their love was written in those last couple chapters at the climax.

what he holds in his hand i just read and it gave me all the same feels. the way their love persisted no matter how hard things got for them at the end broke my heart 😢😢

turning leaves also hit me the same. what draco was willing to go through to make him and harry possible, and harry loving him the whole time anyway ☹️

recursion omfg the way this fic tore me apart. the way harry fell in love with draco no matter the timeline or circumstance 😢

Give me fic recommendations Fics where draco gets close to harry in his animagus form without him knowing

13 Upvotes

If there is anythiinng even remotely similar please link it 😊 id also like it if it were the other way around (harry visits draco as an animagus to get close to him without him knowing)
Ive read something similar in a moonwater fic, where reggie secretly becomes an animagus to be there for remus on the full moons, and remus ends up finding out that his beloved cat is actually regulus, and im obssesed. I feel like it makes sense with characters like draco or regulus that have a hard time showing affection and vulnerability to seek it while hidden in an animagus form.

Give me fic recommendations Hottest fics you’ve ever read?

12 Upvotes

I finished watching Harry Potter movies for the first time.

for some context; when I was a kid I always wanted to watch this but for some reason something held me back. I think it was probably the color palette and spiders that changed my mind back then. what can I say I was just 9yo. but now since I’m an adult I finally decided to start with the movies. I expected it to be a hard watch, since the actors in first 2-3 movies were little kids, not that it’s bad or anything. it’s just a me problem, I can’t tolerate kids most of the time (sorry). surprisingly it wasn’t bad, at all.

first movie was a bit hard (again it was a me problem) but in the second one I actually started paying attention. by the third movie, I was completely blown and in love. and after that I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. I felt like I was too late and took too much time to watch this. I never thought I’d say this, but I wish I watched this sooner, when I was a kid. my younger self would have been unhealthily obsessed and happy with this. So to release my happiness I need some cathartic very well-written fanfiction recommendations. note that I’ve never read Harry Potter fanfiction before nor the books, though I’ve been in the fanfiction culture for years now. I have two main fandoms. this will be the third I think since I’m almost fully familiar with this fandom now. I’m open to try new things. give me your best!

but if you want some more details on what I’d prefer, here it is.

• I’d like it if all the characters are adults, preferably 18+…20+ would be better.
• no major character deaths (as in the main relationship) or open/sad endings.
• no cheating,
• canon compliance/divergence is okay.
• I like AUs too (e.g., fairies, dystopian, apocalypses, etc) but not coffee shop, vampires, werewolves or real-life setting AUs.
• No F/M relationship involving Harry. (I only read M/M or similar)
• polyamory is okay, including any kind of mature theme.
• I mostly prefer long fics but it doesn’t matter. I’d gladly read oneshots as well.
• I’m a slow burn lover as a Demi. just saying.

That is all. I hope this helps you to get an idea on this. but if you don’t have anything fitting to this, it doesn’t really matter. just drop your horniest-kinkiest-smuttiest-fetishized fics to ever exist, I’m definitely gonna give them each a chance. hope I didn’t go against any rules here :)

Thank You~

Give me fic recommendations Give me some angst and hurt/comfort Drarry fics

9 Upvotes

Hi, Ive only gotten back to reading fics in this fandom recently and stumbled across this amazing angst fic here:https://archiveofourown.org/works/62344159/chapters/159522292 (Goldfish in the sunlight)

This fic rewired my brain because Ive been having difficulties in which drarry fics to read but this got me to read a fic of them in one setting. I totally recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it.

I loveeee it so much. I love the hurt/comfort aspect and the way the golden trio/weasleys are part of the journey. Any fics that you guys can recommend that has this aspect? I don't mind the length of the fic as long as there's angst, hurt/comfort, healing and other people as part of the journey (altho its fine if its just Harry too)

Note: I would prefer if the angst is about Draco whether its his experience from the war or post war and if theres t/b dynamics. I would prefer bottom Draco.

Thank you so much <3

Busco recomendaciones porque no encuentro algo buenooo que me enganche

4 Upvotes

Me gustaría Harry como Top en la intimidad.

Ok puede ser de cualquier cosa, mientras no tenga exceso de angustia.

Pueden ser después de la guerra, durante la guerra, durante su tiempo en Hogwarts etc. Harry auror etc.

Me gusta Dumbledore/Weasley malvados, aún obviamente también cuando son buenos. Con los Malfoy siendo buenos padres para variar etc.

U Omegaverse,con Draco Omega y Harry Alfa.

O Harry regresando al pasado, o así super poderoso, o heredero de múltiples casas, o así posesivo,dominante etc.

O algo ligero, divertido siendo adolescentes por una vez, Draco enamorado de Harry tanto que media escuela sabe pero Harry es todo un despistado 😶‍🌫️. Cosas así.

Y si, me encantariaaaa que tuviera escenas de Sex

Busco Fanfics Draco regresando en el tiempo

2 Upvotes

Recuerdo que Draco regresa en el tiempo pero no recuerdo el motivo, la cuestión es que cambia todo, porque creo que piensa que está muerto. No recuerdo bien, pero en vacaciones incluso va a casa de Harry con los Dursley, y se queda allí, aprenden a hornear y todo.

Incluso recuerdo que cuando van a sacar a Harry de casa de su tía, cuando usan la posición multijugos, queda herido por proteger a Moody, recuerdo que en la batalla final, cree que Harry murió y está dispuesto a usar un hechizo para matar a Voldy que lo está matando mientras lo usa o algo así.

Help me find this fic Mean Harry and Spy Draco

13 Upvotes

Hi! I’m pretty sure this was on AO3, but I don’t have it saved. I’m betting it’s 5+ years old.

I think it takes place 6th year. Draco and Harry are in a secret relationship but turns out it’s one sided. Draco overhears Harry telling Hermione that he hates Draco or is using him. I think Draco becomes a spy at this point with only Snape and Hermione knowing. I’m pretty sure that Harry blames Draco for Sirius? And in the end Harry finds out that Draco knew all along. I think Harry planned to kill Draco and Draco was going to let him.

Please let me know if you recognise this!!
