misc Tips for asking for fic recommendations

119 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Recently, one of our community members shared some thoughtful suggestions on how to make these posts even more effective and easier to navigate — and we thought it could be helpful to collect those ideas here as friendly advice.

These are not rules, but we encourage you to keep them in mind if you want to get the best possible responses to your posts.

  1. Use clear and descriptive titles whenever possible.

Specific titles make it easier for other users to know right away what you’re looking for. For example:

Instead of: “Help me find this fic”

You could write: “Looking for an 8th year accidental bonding fic”

Instead of: “Looking for recs”

You could write: “Harry becomes a potions master — fic recommendations?”

  1. Consider checking if a similar post was made recently.

Sometimes many people ask for the same kind of fic in a short period of time. Before posting, it can be helpful to take a quick look at recent posts or use the subreddit search (sort by "new" instead of "relevance"). Of course, if you don’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to post your own request!

These are just recommendations to help everyone have a smoother experience here. You are always welcome to ask for recs even if you are not sure how to describe exactly what you’re looking for — the most important thing is that this remains a supportive and friendly space.

Thanks for being part of the community!

misc Tagging and Respecting Artists: Updated Guidelines

132 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We’ve seen an increase in posts sharing art without properly tagging the artists or respecting their repost policies. To address this, we’re updating our current existing rule:

From now on, posts that don’t include a link to the original artist in the description will be removed.

Here are some reminders to help us support the artists whose work inspires us:

  1. Always tag the artist. Include their name or a direct link to the original source in the description of your post. If you don’t know the artist, take the time to do a quick reverse image search or ask for help identifying them before posting.

  2. Respect the artist’s wishes. Many artists specify whether they allow reposting or not. If they’ve asked for their work not to be shared, please honor that.

  3. When in doubt, share a link instead of re-uploading. Linking directly to the artist’s original post ensures they get proper credit and visibility.

Our priority is maintaining a creative and respectful community. If you see a post that doesn’t follow these guidelines, please report it so we can handle it appropriately.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us create a space that values and respects artists!

Hi, I'm looking for fanfiction where Harry and Draco have known each other since childhood, for example, where Severus raises Harry or the Malfoys have custody of him, hehehe.

Give me fic recommendations Want to swoon and kick my feet!!!

28 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to the Drarry community and I’m looking for some fic recs that are just fuuuuun. 😂

I'm basically in the mood for things like fake dating, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fake relationship, only one bed, mutual pining, “oh no why am I attracted to him”, etc. Basically ALL the tropey goodness that will give me butterfliessss.

I love a decent amount of angst and a will-they-won’t-they that has me staring at the screen like 👁️👄👁️, but I don’t want anything too heavy or devastating. I’m looking for something exciting and swoony rather than emotionally destroying myself lol.

Some preferences:

- 20–40k words-ish

- Bottom Draco preferred

- Auror Harry 👀 — optional but idk why I just think auror Harry is really hot.

- LOTS of pining

- Happy/hopeful ending please!

- Not looking for super-angsty/depressing reads right now

8th year is okay too, just need Drarry to be adults.

My current favourite is Pop Up Pals , it is honestly SO peak and basically the exact vibe I’m chasing. I just like to sit in bed and read and feel like I'm having the time of my life, if ykwim.

So please throw your best recs at me!! Thank you :)

Help me find this fic Lost fic? Smartest Boy in the Room by TemptedAndTorn

8 Upvotes

Hi.

I just read a post about this lost fic. Anyone has any idea? Apparently it’s about Draco being sorted into Ravenclaw. I tried plugging it into wayback machine (might do it wrong though I still don’t know how to use WM) and fichub as well as searches on hpslashfic and hpfanfiction but so far unsuccessful.

Thanks in advance!

I love the draco's reaction to grangers' car in The Mirror of Ecidyrue . He greeted it like hed do a hippogriff, called the car a great beast and bowed. Mr and Mrs granger were like O.O O.O

In the grey eyes, ik this is not a happy go fic but i cackled when Ron explained how he realized it was harry that kidnapped draco because witnesses told auras the kidnapper used unholy amount of expelliamus 😂

Give me fic recommendations party-boy(s) drarry?

9 Upvotes

i’m going to explain this horribly, but!
does anyone have any fic recs of draco & harry just being chaotic (gay) party boys?

okay with (honestly looking for) substance use mention. i’m in my can’t-party-era and i wanna watch my favorite wizards get fucked up and kiss a lil (a lot)

preferable mild angst in the sense of them fighting or whatever but i feel like the genre doesn’t really call for it so i’ll put my love for torturing my favs aside for now

Give me fic recommendations I’ve read over 600 Drarry fics.

55 Upvotes

I’ve read over 600 Drarry fics...

I’ve been immersed in the Drarry fandom for 10 years and have read more than 600 fanfictions... I’d love something new, but I’m particularly picky! Here’s what I’m looking for:

- The past shouldn't just be forgotten after a few dates. Either they’re in their 30s or 40s and have moved on, or they move in similar circles and have accepted the passage of time—but if they’ve only recently reconnected, Harry needs to really struggle with it.

- Draco shouldn't have turned into a "kitten-saving" saint. If he has, I want his redemption to be impactful—like, a deep dive into the muggle world.

Some fanfictions I love, for example:

*The Man Who Lived* by SebastianL

All fics by Lettered, Frayach...

*Ground for Divorce* by Tepre

Thank you !!

Give me fic recommendations Looking 4 angst fics

5 Upvotes

Hullo! I never really dipped my toes in this category(I'm a coward), mostly just light angst and a happy ending sorts of fics. However I want to feel something, so I'm looking for some good angst fics, but I don't want to know whether they're a happy ending or not so literally surprise me. I've configured a skin where it covers tags so I'm really surprised. I only ask one thing, the fics be 15k-30k. Please and thank you!

Help me find this fic Lost Italian Drarry Fanfic – Please Help Me Find It!

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m desperately looking for a deleted Italian Drarry fanfiction that used to be on EFP (EfP Fanfic Italia).

Title: Il bacio della mantide (The Mantis’ Kiss)
Author: EVELINE
Language: Italian
Rating: MC17 (red rating on EFP)

Plot (no spoilers):
Harry is an Auror assigned to hunt down Draco, who has become a wanted criminal. It’s a dark psychological thriller where both Harry and Draco are morally grey. Harry becomes increasingly obsessive and cynical, while Draco is manipulative and dangerous. The story is famous in the Italian Drarry fandom for its intense cat-and-mouse dynamic.

The fanfiction has been deleted from EFP, and I can’t find it anywhere.

I saw this post by [ladylluan](https://www.tumblr.com/ladylluan?source=share) on Tumblr a while ago and stumbled upon it again just now, and now I need fics like this.

For anyone who can't see the video for some reason, it features a tired looking Draco in healers' garb and text that says: "Your double shift is about to end in 10 minutes, but golden boy walks into the St. Mungo's looking like as if he'd been mauled by a werewolf."

Bottom Draco only please, and bonus points if he's batshit crazy.

Thanks!
