so… we are three days into march and i’m just getting around to posting this. i’d like to make it very clear that i am still extremely valid regardless. 

february went by super fast + i was super busy & chaotic, so i didn’t have time to read many fics, but i’d like to give a shout out to the ones i enjoyed!

Nor All That Glisters by @sweet-s0rr0w

i loved the concept of this fic from the very beginning - draco developing a dependency on felix felicis - and despite thinking i knew what was coming, i was thrown a lot of curveballs that i totally wasn’t expecting. i loved the way draco was characterized in this fic and the cast of side characters, and the gorgeous art by @deancebra and @fantalf adds so much as well.

Wild by Seefin

i’m aware that this is already a very popular fic in fandom, but it absolutely kicked my legs out from under me and had some of the most realistic and complex relationship dynamics i’ve seen in a drarry. so basically if this one has been on your MFL for a while, consider this your sign to finally read it!! (and then come yell at me about it!! please!)

Game On by @pennygalleon

competitive, snarky, and fiery fake dating with what felt like a very lifelike portrayal of quidditch player drama. this was a really fun pick-me-up of a fic that also has some absolutely incredible art by @bluebutter-art​. 

Hell and Other Places by @tepre

i was so blindsided by how much this fic did with such a low wordcount. the relationship in this fic has such massive scope and feels so real that it manages to make the accidental opening of a door to hell seem like an afterthought.

My Bloody Valentine favs [full collection here]

Burning Pile by @floydig

the prose in this fic is so sparse and punchy, and reading it felt like i was peeling back layers of a mystery - the portrayals of draco and harry feel so lifelike, and something about this fic lingered in my mind for days after.

Lateralus by @shiftylinguini

incredible worldbuilding and an absolute gut punch of an ending - which makes it totally rife for a second read. 

The Dark Mirror by @mystickitten42

vampires, cursed mirrors, bloodplay, and pure unadulterated evil… what more could a small bird ask for? this fic had such fun horror elements - read the tags and have fun!

Iterum by @moonstruckwytch

this was a fantastic horror piece full of evil fun, and hosts a line of dialogue from draco toward the end that i can’t stop thinking about. 

…and a few Candy Hearts favs to make it all better [full collection here]

Just Talking by cavendishbutterfly

this fic captures the awkwardness of the early stages of dating so well that i was squirming at times while reading. i love fluff that doesn’t lose draco’s snark, and that paired with bonding over home remodeling shows and harry learning to play guitar like every third bloke in london had me SOLD.

you’re the one that i want by @softlystarstruck

i don’t read AUs much, but something about a drarry greaser au… just works? this fic is absolutely the perfect thing to bookmark to read for when you need a pick me up <3

phew! long post - but wait! there’s more! art beneath the cut!
