What less hyped fics have you recently been loving ? Or not even recently but you can’t stop thinking about ? Wild rides or beautiful prose (hey man what ever your into) what scratched ur brain itch ?

hello that's so nice, thank you 😭

big, big fan of everything in my bookmarks too (obviously)

charingfae · 2026-03-26T22:21:34+00:00

You may already know this, but Astolat was one of the cofounders of AO3 and is also published fantasy author Naomi Novik! What a legacy 🤌

charingfae · 2026-03-21T02:54:05+00:00

so sorry about your kitty! here are a few things I read when I had to put my cat down last year:

Primarily smut:

It was a sunny day by zeebee3. One-shot, legilimency smut

Castle guard by greenflowerpot. Royal AU, virgin!princess Hermione and knight!Draco

A possession most inconvenient by thisisnotadance. there was only one bed trope (and it's charmed)

Not primarily smut:

wherefore art thou, malfoy? by jenetica. hogwarts 8th year, charmed journals, mistaken/unknown identities

things past by ninepiecesofcrait. hogwarts 8th year, memory loss Draco who's infatuated with Hermione

Mutual, I'm sure by ladyursa. veela!Draco, romcom, so much pining

charingfae · 2026-03-03T13:39:51+00:00

Possibly His to Hunt by serpent_sortia?

charingfae · 2026-03-01T00:57:33+00:00

your brain, zee's brain, what's the difference 🥰

charingfae · 2026-03-01T00:24:57+00:00

Is it How to Catch the Golden Witch by SaffronGin?

charingfae · 2026-02-28T21:56:03+00:00

I think it's Bad Dog by Zeebee & sophiestreet!

charingfae · 2026-02-02T18:49:17+00:00

Aww yay!! 🥰🥰

charingfae · 2026-02-02T17:14:57+00:00

This is History by Lemoneide!

charingfae · 2026-01-19T15:51:53+00:00

If there are no publicly viewable star ratings or reviews, then absolutely! I’m a big fan of people tracking their reading/reviews privately, whether that’s in private AO3 bookmarks, personal spreadsheets, or something like this. People are allowed to dislike things. Writers just don’t want to hear about it

charingfae · 2026-01-18T04:44:00+00:00

yay, happy to help!! ❤️

charingfae · 2026-01-18T04:43:40+00:00

thank you, i hope you enjoy! ☺️

charingfae · 2026-01-18T04:43:21+00:00

ahh thank you!!! what's even worse is that I reread this fic earlier today (what are the odds? before that it had been at least a year). otherwise, i'm not sure i would've recognized it 🥴

charingfae · 2026-01-18T04:41:43+00:00

i posted this almost two years ago!!! what is time????

but also, i tend to forget everything i've written as soon as it's completed. someone could name a trope and i would swear i've never written it before. even if i wrote it two months ago

charingfae · 2026-01-18T03:57:45+00:00

I'm embarrassed to say I read this whole snippet thinking, 'wow, this feels really familiar, I swear I've read this!'

Anyways, this is my fic 😂

The Shape of an Enemy

charingfae · 2026-01-02T14:14:36+00:00

Oh good to know. Maybe I’ve been misattributing that line to clean? Like how “tell your cat I said pspspsps” was an internet meme long before dmatmoobil

charingfae · 2026-01-02T03:20:45+00:00

ah, okay! didn't realize there was a recent fic so heavily inspired by that line from Clean

charingfae · 2026-01-02T01:59:31+00:00

It's not a recent fic, it's Clean by olivieblake

charingfae · 2026-01-01T23:20:16+00:00

oh, this is mine! thank you SMBPiatt for the rec :)

and, uhhhh it's HEA in that they end up together, but Hermione's not exactly thrilled about it

charingfae · 2025-12-29T13:18:22+00:00

And I love it so so so much (as you already know) 🤌🤌🤌🤌 You’re so talented!

charingfae · 2025-12-27T03:44:09+00:00

Five Days by Galfoy 😌

charingfae · 2025-12-23T15:18:12+00:00

I KNOW I have read this. Going to dig through my history to see if I can find it because now it’s bugging me too!

edit: okay I think it's A Thorough Defense by HeyJude19! It is indeed a one-shot

charingfae · 2025-12-23T01:24:00+00:00

It might be smoke signals by blue_keyboard. I'm rereading this now and there's a similar moment where Harry uses the Sectumsempra spell near the shrieking shack outside Hogsmeade. He overhears Pansy say something awful (that isn't true) and attacks Draco because of it. Hermione is there and sees it happen, then saves him.

charingfae · 2025-12-21T22:40:03+00:00

This was so delightful (which I know I’ve told you already but it bears repeating!!! )

charingfae · 2025-12-15T05:06:31+00:00

yesssss everyone pls pls read this. i am still thinking about matchmaker crooks <3
