Art: Draco falls asleep reading to Lyra

As well as the puritan Draco trend and my 5.5k oneshot, more art, and fic recs

I’m sitting on my couch and finishing off this post, pretending that I didn’t notice my daughter take the pickle jar from the fridge. Can too many pickles make you sick? I really hope not.

Art

Mother’s day came and went, and on a whim I drew some art of domestic Dramione with baby Lyra. (For my unplanned pregnancy/war fic, Child of War)

On the sofa of the safe house, Draco is trying to give Hermione a break but he passed out while reading to Lyra.

More art

I drew luxury yacht crew member Draco, from Below Deck, in watercolour style. It’s for the socmed fic by draqo_pctter

Draco, finally able to be with Hermione after the war - I drew this in a charcoal style using a new brush I was experimenting with, and am really happy with how it turned out! (His eyes are my fav part) (Also,if you’re interested in the brush, just let me know.)

(NSFW) I posted about Draco wearing knickers, and then ivmaruva drew this actual masterpiece - !!

Ivmaruva also drew this brilliant sketch of 8th yr dramione together in class, which honestly has my whole heart

Writing

In the delightfully spontaneous way of Dhr twitter, a series of hilarious drabbles on pure blood Draco with puritan sensibilities made the rounds. Numerous authors contributed, and pinkhairbooks made a collection for all of them on ao3!

Shame - my smutty and angsty contribution (Or you can read it on twitter)
In which Hermione teaches Draco he doesn’t need to be ashamed of his desires

5.5k - Dramione / NSFW Explicit / self harm / hurt/comfort / angst, fluff, and smut / sexual repression

Here’s some others that I read:

Draco and the tantalising temptation of toes by drqco_pctter

Draco and the sadistic torments of Hermione Granger’s hipbones by sonichgene

Draco and the scandalous view of a bare neck by pinkhairbooks, and part two, which gets more NSFW, Draco and the overwhelming earlobe

Draco and a most improper flashing of knees - by oceanxpoppy, and an NSFW part two Draco’s sexual awakening

Draco and the indecent consumption of sugar quills - by sugarquill94

Draco and the delicate twist of an exposed wrist by nissasxnotes, and the NSFW follow up, Draco goes to hell over a pair of wrists

Draco and the unseemly display of collarbones by coconutsaturn

Draco and the sinful effect of ankles by mspolapotter

Also, some art for the puritan draco trend!

Beautiful illustrations of Draco’s many temptations by sophiesstreet

Again, there is so much more in the Puritan Draco collection, or search on twitter for ‘puritan draco’.

Some reading

Ritualistic Instinct is an absolutely beautiful (and brilliantly) written one shot set in ancient Rome by aplacetostart. Draco and Hermione are scholars who discover the female orgasm. (It’s part of a fest that just dropped, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the fics in it)

From Across the Great Divide by AccioMjolnir, is a fantastic WIPs I’m following. Dramione / Soulmates / shared sensations and thoughts over long distance / all the best feels

Go read it if you want to feel good, honestly, it’s the best. I’ve started some art for it, but haven’t quite finished!

Stained Glass and Library Stacks by OneEqualTemper - 18k - a sweet and really delightful A/B/O. Eighth year / sweet draco / mating and heats / ron bashing

It’s a Poem by sodamnrad - just a breathtaking drabble that will give you all the feelings. She’s really one of the best <3

Currently working on

• (affectionate) chapters for ao3 and twitter

• Art! I have three pieces on the go, which is unusual for me. Usually I start and finish a piece in one sitting.

• Really hoping to get back into the next Expect to be Accosted chapter that I was working on before I had to take a writing break

And finally

If anyone heard about my image hosting drama, it appears resolved?

I host all my ao3 images on Imgur, but recently they announced they were doing a purge of to clear up their servers. It wasn’t entirely clear what that would involve so I backed up everything in case a few of my images were deleted. However, the day they did the purge, EVERYTHING disappeared: no images worked on ao3, and my Imgur account was empty. Cue my panic and despair at imagining the work to rehost and link all the images in my txt fics. Then, the next day, the images all miraculously reappeared.

I still don’t trust them though. So I’m looking for a good place to host any new images I put up on ao3. (Pls share if you know a good, trustworthy solution!)

Thanks for reading! I don’t really know what I’m doing, but right now I’m thinking I’ll try doing a post kind of like this every Friday New Zealand time (which is probably Thursday for a lot of you). Let me know if got some enjoyment out of the art and writing I linked! <3
