Hello! I’m in the process of backing up my rec lists to Tumblr. I’m also in the process of updating as many links to AO3 as I can find, so it might take a while. Also, these lists are in the order I first recced them, but I had to start somewhere and 8th year it is! The first of many lists coming. :) Reparo by amalin (NC 17, 85K) Summary: Voldemort’s final defeat does not mean Harry Potter’s troubles are over; far from it. In the aftermath of war, he returns to a Hogwarts that is fractured and divided, but this is no break that can be fixed with a spell. New owls, fading scars, surprising alliances– and along the way, the hardest task of all, to live with it. Matters of Influence by anathema91 (NC-17, 19K) Summary: Draco should have taken his NEWTs over the summer with Pansy and Greg. Repeating 7th year with Potter fresh off his saved-the-world tour struck Malfoy as the height of stupidity more than once. McGonagall’s diabolical plan only made things worse. Or did it? A Time to Move On by sesheta_66(PG-13, 15,5K) Summary: With the war behind them, and wounds still raw, the students at Hogwarts try to work out what their futures might hold for them, and perhaps recapture a little of their lost youth along the way. Title: An Act of Simple Devotion by @blamebrampton (PG-13, 13,3K) Summary: It’s a age-old story. You fancy a boy and you think he fancies you.

Ron Hubbard-like references … Title: Master Work by mahaliem (R, 35,1K) Summary: Harry’s eighth-year at Hogwarts is going about as well as all the others.

Title: Soaring by tealeaf523 (R, 9,1K) Summary: Draco Malfoy is reaching the halfway point of his eighth year of Hogwarts, post-war. Though things are back to normal, Draco feels haunted, suffocated, broken by his past. And he can’t be fixed. Can he? Title: Symbiosis by fireflavored (NC-17, 20,2K) Summary: sym·bi·o·sis (sĩm'bē-ō'sĩs) n. Biology A close, prolonged association between two or more different organisms of different species that may, but does not necessarily, benefit each member. Title: Said and Unsaid (or, The Value of Knowing When to Stop Talking) by bryoneybrynn (PG-13, 14,8K) Summary: When the Interrogator asked if he had anything to say on his own behalf, Draco shook his head, his lips pressed tight in a thin line. There was nothing to say that wouldn’t sound like an excuse. Title: The Altar by dragenphly (R, 16K) Summary: Draco grows up. With difficulty. It would probably be easier if it wasn’t for Harry fucking Potter. Title: Bridges bytigersilver (R, 8,6K) Summary: The collected correspondence concerning two ‘8th Year’ Hogwarts School students, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, from September through December, 1998. Title: The Lovers’ Circle by nicevenn (NC-17, 13,3K) Summary: Tired of feeling alone, Harry agrees to play a matchmaking game with the other eighth years. It’s just a game, after all.

Title: The Silent World Within You by @femmequixotic & @noeeon (NC-17, 96K) Summary: Harry only wanted Malfoy for one night, one birthday. It wasn’t meant to be anything more.

Title: Marginal Notes by @blamebrampton (PG, 9,3K) Summary: When you’re 18, and nothing is as it was meant to be, sometimes it can be hard to let the right people know what you are thinking.
hello! do you have any good soulmate wolfstar recs? i LOOOOOOVE those, doesn’t matter what kind
Oh, the Librarian also loves these fics! Hope you enjoy the ones on this list!
The Electric Fizzing Prick Pistols, or Whatever by whitmans_kiss Everyone is born with Words on their arm that connect them to their Soulmate. James finds his, Sirius had everything figured out back in First Year, Peter doesn’t talk to girls anyway, and Remus thinks he’d very much just like to put his earmuffs back on and disappear.
Crude and Proud by @beesandjam Remus and Sirius are soulmates and whatever they write on their arms appears on the other person's.
fade to black by @elixirsoflife
a soulmate au where everyone has a tattoo of the first words their soulmate says directly to them on their left arm
Wolfy by Judeyjude There were three types of people: Kissers, Namers, and Tattooers. You either had a Tattoo that matched another's or a Name marked above your heart. If you didn't, then you were a Kisser, recognizing your soulmate at first touch or kiss, as innocent as the person wanted it to be. As soon as you were born, it was obvious which category you fell into. Sirius had a Tattoo. Remus didn't.
Moony by Judeyjude Soulmate identifying marks are like a fingerprint - every love is unique and special. Not one couple is the same as another, so there are no repeats in soulmate connections. One couple could write to each other on their arms, another could have matching tattoos that colored in when they met, and another could be deaf their whole lives until they made eye contact with their true love. The only consistency is that everyone has some kind of indication by the time they are sixteen. At 25 years old, Remus Lupin has given up the idea that he's destined for someone until James calls him one fateful night.
Check For the Shivers by @devnoel Remus never expected the first words his Soulmate would say to him to be out of a sappy romance novel. But this was just outrageous.
If you know of more soulmate fics, please share!
fuck, u so right
we only ever talked about HALF of why these scenes were a big deal, like I just realized this today and my heart is going insane.
It’s not just that Crowley’s pissed at Gabriel for treating who he thinks as Aziraphale this way, the last thing he says to the people about to kill him is a benign and peaceful wish to see them again.
And like- this is Crowley trying to replicate Aziraphale to a T. So he legitimately just sees him as this endless well of compassion, someone who is always warm and accepting. It’s not just their friendship throughout the years, he remembers Aziraphale’s kindness on the Eastern Gate. When the angel had absolutely no reason to trust this random demon who just slithered up next to him. Crowley knows that he’s loved. Maybe not like that quite yet (although he’d be very wrong), but he knows that around his friend he’s always welcome and safe.
And Aziraphale?
Well he just thinks Crowley’s the coolest fucker alive, like he is laying it in THICK and enjoying every second. Listen to that charisma, look at that smirk. These are traits that are typically only appreciated in the context of how good it makes Crowley at tempting, a job he hates. But Aziraphale doesn’t see someone manipulative or regard this persona as signs of his “demonic nature”, he just sees Crowley. Someone charming, fun loving, and cute.
This is when we get to know precisely why they love each other, what exactly they see in the other.
Another one before season 2 :)
They're gay your honor
I'll never leave you. I'll never leave again.

Some highlights from the Be More Chill book brought to you by me
Ps: Y’all these are just the parts I marked as I was reading, my personal favorites. Don’t evaluate the book just by looking at these. And I didn’t include any big spoilers so don’t worry!
Page 35,
Jeremy: You think we should go?
Michael: Are you asking me out?
Page 54, (it pains me how little boyfs moments are in the book)
Michael’s there, in the school parking lot. He managed to borrow the car from his parents and have it waiting for me the day I asked for it. I hug him.
Page 80,
I’m masturbating still, watching a video, but it’s not like I’m masturbating to Michael. I’m multitasking masturbating.
Page 109,
The gayer it feels, the better your posture. -The Squip, 2004.
Page 110,
Jeremy: Well, that card is only for emergencies.
Squip: You are an emergency, Jeremy.
Page 111,
Jeremy: I kind of hate Keanu Reeves’s voice. Can you switch to, ah, Brad Pitt?
Squip: We couldn’t get his rights. You sure you don’t like Keanu?
Jeremy: Uh...
Squip: C’mon, just listen. Isn’t it soothing?
Page 135, (we love supportive Squip)
After twenty reps, with the Squip encouraging me and telling jokes, I’m so tired that I roll into bed without thinking about jerking off.
Page 138, (book Squip is superior)
Ms. Heere: Freedom of expression doesn’t exist for minors, Jeremy, which is what you are.
Squip: Tell her to go f _ _ _ herself.
Page 161,
I jump in the field and kick my heels together.
Squip: Let’s never, ever see that again, okay?
Page 170,
“Heere?”
“Yo.”
It was so simple... I don’t know how I didn’t think of it before.
Squip: It’s not your nature.
Page 174, (First of all Jeremy, rude. But at least he’s standing up for Michael, that’s something, right?)
Squip: Don’t bring him.
Jeremy: Nope, I’m bringing him. I want him along on this one. I’ve wanted him along the whole time, but now I finally have the clout to bring him.
Page 179, (I just LOVE their friendship)
Jeremy: I don’t think we have anything to worry about.
Squip: That’s because I calculated it for you, stupid.
I know. Thanks.
Page 208,
Christine: What’s yersquip?
Jeremy: That’s... my... imaginary... friend,
Rich: Huh, yeah. It’s what he calls his p-penis.
Jeremy: Would you shut up?
Christine: You have a name for your penis? Boys really do that?
Squip: Yeah. Rich’s is named Li’l’ Cheese Head.
Jeremy: Yeah. Rich’s is named Li’l’ Cheese Head.
Page 233,
Jeremy: And the house was on fire?
Squip: Well. Not all of it.
Jeremy: What the f _ _ _ ? What am I supposed to say to that?
Squip: Probably “No, no, this can’t be happening?”
Jeremy: This can’t be happening!
Page 235, (I love how Squip keeps roasting Jeremy’s parents)
Squip: You have bad parents, you know that?
Jeremy: Why?
Squip: They should have prepared you for situations like this. I’m not programmed to counsel human shock and sorrow.
Page 280, (Michael being sarcastic is what I stan)
Jeremy: It keeps log of all my thinkings.
Michael: Thinkings?
Jeremy, hitting him: Whatever.
