Commenter Shout-Out: @froidefille and @pocket-lin

In general I try (and usually fail) to be chill about receiving comments on fics, but actually I’m not chill at all because I love and treasure them so much and keep them in my pocket and take them out to look at them all day and usually forever afterwards.

So today I am shouting out two people who I always hope will show up in my inbox every time I write a fic. I thought about posting some snippets of their comments but those feel like sacred missives to me, so I decided to hoard them for myself instead 😬

I have a huge amount of trouble remembering names from one platform to another, so there are definitely more people I can and will one day shout out, but today is your day, @froidefille and @pocket-lin! I LOVE YOUR COMMENTS!!! THEY MAKE MY LIFE INCREDIBLE!!!

xoxo Dodger

Creator Rec List: @sweatersinthesummer

I’m very thrilled to do a creator rec list of some of my fave works by @sweatersinthesummer, who is not just a wonderful podficcer but a kind, hilarious person as well! If you haven’t come across her works, check out some of these!

[Podfic] Ship of Theseus by GallaPlacidia

Gallaplacidia’s fics are so good, so Pajammy’s recordings of them are treasures. Ship of Theseus is one of my personal faves!!

[Podfic] The Last Coffee by kbrick

Sad but hopeful AKA CHEF’S KISS (plus Pajammy’s voice 🥹)

[Podfic] Hoppípolla by Moonflower_Rose

I love this title so much, listen to it

[Podfic] Move, move by MaesterChill

I like fics about dancing……….. SUE ME

[Podfic] Happy Returns by toomuchplor

“I swear to Merlin, if you don’t ask him out soon, I’m going to murder you both,” says Neville.

Need I say more??

Anyway, thanks for lending us your voice, Pajammy! Everyone, go listen to these podfics!!

“You,” says Malfoy, his fingers still tight around Harry’s wrist, “are hungry. You are overtired. And if those things weren’t enough—and make no mistake, Potter, they are—you’re having one of your days, and I will—”

“My da—” 

Malfoy pulls before Harry can finish saying days. It’s nothing. A tug, maybe, if that. But Harry blinks, and when he opens his eyes again, he’s inches from Malfoy’s face, Malfoy’s eyes on his, flashing like sunlight on a sword.

“I will not watch you bleed out again. I will not. You can lie to yourself about the state you’re in, but you cannot lie to me, and I will not stand by and let you hurt yourself.”

Harry is speechless. This feeling is—this feeling is like nothing he’s ever felt. He’s never been so bloody offended in his life, and Malfoy has said things about his parents before. His dead parents. 

“I don’t,” he finally forces out. “I don’t do it on purpose. I’ve never done it on purpose.”

Malfoy narrows his eyes.

“The pub was different. That was—I wasn’t trying to—that’s not what I was—”

“I am not leaving you.” Every word out of Malfoy’s mouth is a razor. He’s so close. So quiet. “I am staying with you. Here’s what we’re going to do, Potter. You will eat. Drink some tea, if you fancy it.”

“But—”

“When you’re finished, you’ll take down your jeans and pants and bend over my lap. I will hold you there and spank you until you tell me it hurts, after which—”

The sound that comes out of Harry’s mouth starts out as pure shock and indignation, but it changes into something else entirely. He has never been so aware of his own cock before. His battered, worn-in jeans are a cage.

“—after which I will continue until you’ve had enough. And then I shall wipe away all your tears and pet you until you are prepared to resume the assignment.”

“Assignment?” Harry’s mind scrambles to sort through everything Malfoy’s just said. “You didn’t put in for a transfer? We’re still partners?”

Malfoy leans in another inch. “Yes.”

Now I Know In Part

If You Miss It, Try Again

Good For You

Lover, Where Do You Live?

In The Presence of My Enemy

do you respond to comments? I really, really try to respond to all the comments. But then I got sad for a year. Or maybe two years. So I’m very behind :/

what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? Like, where they don’t end up together? They always end up together in my fics. Even if that might be…in heaven. Oh, wait—I did write one where Petunia is very sad in the end. So I would say it’s The Winds Forbid.

what’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending? All of them? But shout-out to See Me and Live

do you write crossovers? Sometimes, if the need arises, I do:

Starlight in the Void

Love Will Abide

have you ever received hate on a fic? Mostly just nonsense, but I’m generous with my comment deletion and will do it at the hint of an upsetting vibe

do you write smut? So much

have you ever had a fic stolen? If I have, I don’t know about it

have you ever had a fic translated? Yes!! I have had four fics translated into Portuguese by @moonletterss, including my two longest fics so far (Former Things Come to Mind and Go Up to Gilead)

have you ever co-written a fic? Not yet!

what’s your all-time favorite ship? DRARRY

what’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? I’m going to finish them all (except maybe the Dramione one)

what are your writing strengths? This is not for me to say

what are your writing weaknesses? Probably how long it takes me to figure things out

dialogue in other languages in a fic? Does Draco speak French? Then of course

what’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to? Ronsy, and I have active plans for their background stories from other fics

what’s your favorite thing you’ve ever written? Filled with the Spirit, and…something I’m secretly writing rn

I don’t want to bother anyone LOL

The moment Draco tries to pull his fingers out of Harry’s mouth, Harry bites.

Not hard enough to break the skin, but hard enough that a delicious little stripe of pain digs into the bone above Draco’s knuckles.

Draco might have been born at half-past eleven at night, but it wasn’t last night. Harry’s baiting him, but in cases like these—a long day, deep involvement with the curse, a near-miss—it’s less conscious brattiness than a compulsive need for reassurance.

Reassurance Draco is prepared to provide. He’s still got his off-hand at Harry’s throat, ready to squeeze, and squeeze he does.

Harry gasps, gagging a bit on Draco’s fingers. His pupils blow even wider. They’d already been quite wide, what with the breaking, but the Killing-Curse green thins out. His chin tips up another fraction, and his eyelids flutter, and finally—just when Draco’s going to have to let him breathe—Harry laps at Draco’s fingers with his tongue.

That’s the only apology he’s in any position to give. Draco waits a moment more, then slides his hand from Harry’s neck to his hair.

“Is that all you’ve got in you?” he asks.

Harry shakes his head.

Draco presses down onto his tongue, and Harry takes his cue to suck, his dark eyes on Draco’s face. 

Of course, Draco is no wide-eyed ingénue. He’s well aware of the glints in Harry’s eyes like the tiny points of flame spreading into the pews from the Paschal candle. Let us lift our eyes to him. The Muggles will be looking at a bronze baldacchino a hundred feet high during the Mass tonight, and beyond it, the Cathedra Petri.

They’ll look, but they won’t see. Not at first. The Mass begins in darkness, so the altar and the throne and Bernini’s Dove of the Holy Spirit will be rendered in shadow. There is nothing to do but wait for them to return. To trust they still exist. Faith, not sight.

An @hdowlpost gift for @maraudersaffair featuring curse-breakers Drarry and also the Vatican!

@arminaa8 tagged me and I am always quietly shocked when I get tagged because I have the belief that people don’t think of me when I’m not there 🙃

Last song: Greek Tragedy - The Wombats

Favorite color: Heavy white snow is coming down on evergreen branches outside my window–probably that evergreen color at this moment

Last movie: Conclave

Last TV show: I am at this very moment watching Sister Wives

Sweet/spicy/savory: Sweet

Relationship status: MARRIED

Last thing I googled: Shakespeare’s birthplace, because I just finished reading Hamnet and I need to know more about everything

Current obsession: Hamnet. Hamlet. Switching places. Stories. There’s something in all of this, maybe, some central thing, but I don’t know what it is yet

Looking forward to: Finishing some WIPs that I started when I was sad and couldn’t do at the time. New stories. Learning how to draw, but also just having fun doing it? Whatever the world is going to put in front of me next, or soon

@froidefille @its-the-allure @vukovich @kamaela @itsphantasmagoria I don’t know who to tag, LOL SORRY
