BREAKING NEWS, MY SOUL IS CLEAR, MY SKIN IS HYDRATED, THE YELLOW DRESS FROM BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IS ACTUALLY GOOD NOW
The U.K. media….and liberal politics…is so unapologetically transphobic…in a coordinated, targeted manner…and HERMIONE FUCKING GRANGER…despite getting her big break from transmisogynist J.K. Rowling…woke up this morning like “hmmm how am I gonna use my status as an international British icon today? OH, I KNOW, I’m gonna post a pic of me wearing a shirt that says “trans rights are human rights” and promote A BUNCH OF UK BASED TRANS CHARITIES to my 28.9 MILLION followers.“
It’s hard to believe we’re almost half way through the fest! Big thanks to everyone who’s been reading, commenting, kudosing, reblogging, liking, and otherwise hyping the submissions!
There’re many more wonderful submissions coming up in the second half–enjoy! ❤
ART:
Title:Breaths Against Skin Artist: Anonymous Prompt:#20 Rating: Mature Warnings/Content Notes: Consensual sex, enthusiastic consent, romance, fluff, communication, partial nudity, implied sexual content, implied rimming, established relationship, Sectumsempra scars Summary: Harry has picked up a habit of breathing “May I?” against Draco’s skin. Medium: Digital Artist’s Notes: Thank you to J for the beta on the drabble! For the theme of consent I wanted to depict them almost, but not quite kissing to show Harry waiting for Draco to give his consent first. I also used hearts and dialogue to signify the communication between partners. The accompanying drabble draws more on the theme of consent shown in the art in order to show Harry’s habit of asking before doing each step of the way, to continuously check consent with his partner instead of assuming the first yes is a blanket yes.
Title: Everything That Happens is From Now On Author: First-time Fest Participant ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Prompt: # 68 Rating: Explicit Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence; Rape/Non-con Summary: After surviving a brutal assault, Draco tries to navigate the tumultuous waters of his mind, and embrace a bit of love and trust in his life. After all, the smallest steps forward can begin to heal the most fractured of souls. Word count: 42695 Author’s notes: Although I have used archive warnings, I’d just like to reiterate my chosen tags for the story in this note. Trigger Warnings:sexual assault, depictions of violence and sexual assault, emotional/physical depictions and discussions concerning the aftermath of rape and rape trauma. In addition to these warnings, there are endnotes on chapters one, three, and five, as well. Please. Your mental health is important, so please do not read/stop reading if this may trigger you. This is very much Draco’s journey towards recovery, no one journey is the same as another, and recovery is never a straight line. I tried to write this story with that in mind while navigating an extremely difficult topic.
Title: Tell Me How You Like It Author:First-time Fest Participant ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Prompt: # 29 Rating: Explicit Warnings/Content Notes: Explicit Summary: It’s a beautiful sunny day, and when Ron is laid up in the common room with a broken ankle, he gets more of a glimpse into his best friend’s private life than he ever might have wanted! Word Count: 3306 Author’s Notes: This fic was written for the HD Consent Fest. The rest of the fics from this fest can be found here. Huge thanks to s and w for the beta reads!! Usual disclaimer: I own none of this. I’m just playing in the sandbox. Please see the end notes for the prompt.
Title: Show Me Author: Anonymous Prompt: #28 Rating: E Warnings/Content Notes: None Summary: On Harry and Draco’s anniversary, they decide to try something new, but Draco won’t do anything he isn’t 100% sure Harry wants. So Harry tells him, every step of the way. Word Count: 2.5k Author’s Notes: This was for Prompt #28 which was: “Character A makes character B beg for it before they do stuff.” This turned out differently than what I had originally planned, but I had a lot of fun writing it, and I learned a lot, too! Shout out to H for the alpha read, and @n for the beta! And of course to the wonderful mods for hosting this fest!
Title:Purity Control Author: Anonymous Prompt: 83 Rating: T Warnings/Content Notes:PLEASE NOTE that this fic contains a very brief, non-explicit mention that Draco experienced sexualised assault during the war. Summary: In which Harry tries to ignore his trauma with fantasy Quidditch but Malfoy’s Thereness™ is distracting and all his classmates want to talk about is unicorns, virginity, and Muggle music. Word Count: 28500 Author’s Notes: Dear Prompter, Your inspired prompt demanded that I write it. It was a joy and a labour of love and I hope that you like it. This fic is rated T for profane language (my favourite) and discussions of “virginity” (hard air quotes). Thanks: A huge thank you to my betas, whose beatification I will be applying for now that this fic is finished and I have time again. Thanks also to 4G, who enriched this story. Final thank you to the mods for making this fest happen! Disclaimer: Harry Potter is the property of JK Rowling. No money is being made from this fic. This is purely for entertainment purposes (i.e., me giving myself jollies about unicorns).
Title: Come Inside Author: First-time Fest Participant ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Prompt: #90 Rating: NC-17 Warnings/Content Notes: None. Summary: “Can I come inside you?“ Harry asks, his voice a breathy whisper. And Draco nods, just once, ever so slightly, biting his plump bottom lip and looking deeply into Harry’s eyes.
At least, that’s how Harry imagined it going.
Word Count: 4766 Author’s Notes: During my two visits to Planned Parenthood, I was asked screening questions about Domestic Violence. I thought that was awesome, so I included similar questions during Harry’s visit to the clinic. Thanks to my betas A & S for all of your time, help, and encouragement. And thank you SO much to my prompter and the mods for allowing me explore this very, very hot kink and the issues of consent surrounding it.
Title:The Magic Cat Author: Anonymous Prompt: # 34 Rating: Explicit Warnings/Content Notes: No archive warnings apply Summary: When Harry sees Draco Malfoy with painted nails and wearing an oversized jumper covered in cat fur, his obsession from school comes back in full force. Featuring supportive friends, cute cats and lots of Harry figuring out what he wants. Word Count: 17,455 Author’s Notes: Thank you so much for the wonderful prompt, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. A huge thank you to D and M for being quick and insightful betas. Any remaining mistakes are entirely my own. Lastly, thank you to the mods for putting this fest together (and thank you for the small extension)!
Title: In the Ways That Matter Author: Anonymous Prompt: #10 Rating: Mature Warnings/Content Notes: Past Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Mentions of Alcoholism Recovery Summary: Falling asleep with Harry Potter mid-argument, while completely pissed, was something Draco could never have predicted happening when he returned for his repeat seventh-year at Hogwarts. But it happened. And then it happened again. And again. At some point the alcohol was gone, and they were just falling asleep side by side night after night, escaping nightmares together. It isn’t anything more than that, even if sometimes it really feels like it is. Word Count: 9025 Author’s Notes: So I claimed the prompt ‘one of the two is asexual (but not sex-repulsed)’. I enjoyed writing for this prompt, as it’s something I’ve been wanting to write for a while. I hope that you enjoy it! Beta’d by E.
Title:just drink this and we can do whatever you want Author:First-time Fest Participant ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Prompt:84 Rating: General Warnings/Content Notes: NA Summary: Harry was tired of people trying to dose him with love potions, so he decided to create a charm to counter it. Now he only need to test it, unfortunately (or not) it doesn’t work as he was expecting. Word Count: 23677 words Author’s Notes: Many thanks to G for being so patient with me, for listening to me all the times I got insecure over the plot, or the sub-plot, or the relationships, and for helping me think all the times I got stuck! Thank you so much to my wonderful beta T for understanding what I wanted to say and making sure other people would be able to understand, too. And for erasing all the wrong commas, Merlin only knows how many commas you erased! And the amazing mods that answered all my questions quickly and patiently, you deserve all the credits for this amazing fest!
*The names of the potions used in this fic were taken from the movies, and are considered by me one of the only good things the movies did.
