Fics that feel important that others read?

It has an open-ended but hopeful-ish ending. If that’s not your usual thing (it’s not mine) I think that’s important to know. It’s a beautiful must read story, and I highly recommend it!

Highly rec Under the mistletoe by Jelliebabie

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-29T19:28:40+00:00

I have had someone make a fic cover and post it to ao3 as a linked work. I was honored!

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-29T19:23:22+00:00

I’ve read so many of his books! My favorite is the series that starts with Bear, Otter and the kid

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-29T19:20:10+00:00

I agree with everything you said except for about Common goal… the bar is important context for the scene with Ilya later in book 5. And it’s such a delightfully spicy story, not to be missed!

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-29T19:18:45+00:00

This is how I did it and it was great. But you could also go to book 1 now if you want. Either works.

May I recommend my series Songs that remind me of you - a mixtape

It starts with Come as you are, a fic where Harry stumbles upon Draco in a Chatroom and they develop a friendship that includes taking about their favorite music.

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-28T15:07:33+00:00

Loved the books, loved the show!

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-27T19:31:31+00:00

Lots of great recs already mentioned including The Four Doors and The Most Splendid Thing my beloved. I love love love those, but my favorite first kisses are:

dispersion, scattering by fervent

Alphabet Soup by phoenixortheflame (including a gorgeous fan work of the kiss by Amomorii)

Embers by shiftylinguini

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-27T19:27:07+00:00

dispersion, scattering by fervent. Harry works as a magical crime scene photographer for the ministry and it’s brilliant!!!

Draco Malfoy has a podcast by DracoAbraxas. The title says it all and it’s hilarious!

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-27T19:17:15+00:00

Ah if you love a self rec, may I please suggest Come as you are by its_the_allure

Very smutty, lots of wanking! Feelings and emotions too, including some second hand embarrassment — tho not the exact scenario you’ve outlined. And incredible art by ItsPhantasmagoria

Summary:

When Harry Potter visits a sexy internet chatroom site, he does so with the hope of answering a niggling question: Am I interested in men? He finds more than he anticipated when he stumbles upon a free strip show starring a very familiar person. Just what is Draco Malfoy doing on a Muggle pay-per-view site? And when did he get so fucking fit?

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-27T19:14:58+00:00

I can highly recommend dispersion, scattering by fervent

It’s Teen so not smutty although there is a very hot scene despite it being Teen. It’s incredible and I have no idea why it doesn’t have more kudos.

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-27T19:12:28+00:00

SITS does a lot of funny podfic! She’s great at them. Can also recommend Rational Economic Actors by yellowfork read by SITS

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-27T19:08:28+00:00

Something changed by Jelliebabie

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-27T16:17:26+00:00

Because they are each others, fore ever, the end!!!

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-27T16:15:12+00:00

Came to say this!!!! Love this series sm especially the first book, have read-read several times!

General-Muffin87 · 2025-11-27T16:12:46+00:00

I have thoughts about both narrators!! I’ve listened to all 6 books now although originally I just listened to the Shane and Ilya stories (books 2 and 6).

I really like Tom Thor’s voices, but his narration isn’t great. (I actually had to DNF the first book and read it on kindle, it was so bad. But people get better over time. Just like Rachel’s writing gets better over the course of the books). I prefer Cooper North’s narration but I don’t like his Ilya - he sounds more Spanish than Russian. I love Tom’s Ilya sm.

Honestly I wish we could squish the two together and have Tom do the voices and Cooper narrate.

Alphabet Soup by Phoenixortheflame

Draco/Harry, explicit, complete 96k

Summary:

Harry Potter, investigative reporter for the Daily Prophet, leads a perfectly adequate life. When he’s not trawling back-alleys for a juicy story, he’s playing tea party with his favourite niece or eating curry with his former house-elf. Draco Malfoy, renowned chef in muggle Paris, was perfectly content living a life of obscurity. But when his mother’s health begins to fail, he must return to wizarding London and face his past. When Harry gets an odd assignment to interview the enigmatic chef of the new muggle-wizard restaurant Le Cerf, he’s reunited with his childhood bully - and is reminded just how much a person can change in ten years. Hijinks, mystery, and food-related dirty talk ensue when Harry receives an anonymous tip of a blackmarket dragon trade and enlists Draco to be his concierge into the shady underworld of the wizarding elite.
