A monthly HP femslash rec list made by the lovely members of the HP SAFFICS (18+) discord server. See all previous rec lists in the WLW Library.
This months recs all involve first dates - Happy Valentine's month!
It's Probably Nothing by bluefay [Hermione Granger/Ginny Weasley, T, 3.2k]
Hermione pinches the bridge of her nose and lets out a long sigh, her patience wearing thin. “Ginny, I don't know—”
“It’ll be easy,” Ginny reassures her, eyes bright as she places both hands on Hermione’s shoulders. “We’ll go on a few fake dates and pretend we’re in love to show Mum that I can find someone. Nothing to it.”
Or, five times they pretend to be girlfriends and one time they don't.
The Epilogue by Bet_on_black and Yanana [Hermione Granger/Narcissa Black Malfoy, T, 3.1k]
Now that they're no longer probation officer and convicted criminal, Hermione and Narcissa go on their first date together
Do You Love Your Neighbor? by porkchopcoconut [Hermione Granger/Bellatrix Black Lestrange, T, 7.8k]
Hermione never should have given her neighbor, Bellatrix, a spare key to her apartment once she realizes it means the dark-haired woman will let herself in any time she wants without warning. That doesn't stop Hermione from developing a crush on her, though. A crush that Crookshanks is more than willing to get involved in.
Written for Bellatrix Fest 2023.
How To Tell If Your Crush Likes You by centreoftheselights [Cho Chang/Hermione Granger, G, 3.2k]
Hermione is asked to work on a project with Cho. The last thing she expects is to be learning a lesson about love.
the moon, she and I (fleurmione) by sclnta [Fleur Delacour/Hermione Granger, G, 1k]
The first date bubble is one of the most beautiful things to experience. The growing intimacy and affection is so welcoming that it melts the heart.
Dahlias and Lavender Iced Coffee by ChamomileCricket [Luna Lovegood/Ginny Weasley, G, 1.9k]
Ginny and Luna go on a date in Hogsmeade although neither of them is sure if it's even a date.
Double Drabble: Lectures by SiriuslySapphic_HP [Hermione Granger/Narcissa Black Malfoy, G, 200]
Hermione's convinced that she gets annoying when talking in a museum. Narcissa could listen to her all day.
Definitely Better by anon [Katie Bell/Alicia Spinnet, M, 2.4k]
After spending the past decade in Canada playing for the Haileybury Hammers, Katie realised she's finally ready to go home.
Turns out that being traded to the Appleby Arrows was the perfect opportunity she'd been waiting for, in more ways than one.
Caught Up In You by charminglittledeath [Hermione Granger/Bellatrix Black Lestrange, T, 1k]
Bellatrix Black did not get flustered. If her cheeks flushed it was from physical exertion- or from the sun in the summer- but she didn’t blush or bat her eyes like a ninny. But when Hermione Granger showed up on her doorstep wrapped in only a towel, she considered investing in an air conditioning unit.
Sparks in the Park by sophh [Katie Bell/Angelina Johnson, G, 1.5k]
Angelina has date with a girl she met online. Will her connection with Katie fizzle out when they meet in person, or will sparks fly between them?
she'll be mine (for at least tonight) by sophh [Angelina Johnson/Nymphadora Tonks, G, 1.1k]
When Fred and George had first offered to set her up with someone, she had laughed right in their identical freckled faces. "I don't need your help," she had said, but after several months of subpar dates, she had finally given in. The twins' older brother Charlie had a friend who was single and looking, and they had arranged to have her meet Angelina at this coffee shop in approximately five minutes.
Or,
Angelina goes on a blind date.
First Date by Isimile [Hannah Abbott/Susan Bones, T, 1k]
Hannah and Susan have their first date in Hogsmeade.
a little too good to be true by onbeinganangel [Pansy Parkinson/Ginny Weasley, T, 800]
For a date that had started with Pansy surreptitiously pulling her phone out and texting Draco, in all caps, “You told me it was someone I didn’t know, you actual ballbag” the blind date had gone surprisingly well. It helped that Pansy accidentally blurted out what Draco had told her as soon as she laid eyes on Ginny, and Ginny laughed and replied with a “Well, Harry said, and I quote ‘She’s really lovely, give her a chance,’ so here I am.”

wip, 4k , tomarry (accidental baby acquisition)
(or) Harry just wants to be taken care of, for someone to take the weight of the world off his shoulders and raise his child in peace.
There was a child running through the store.
Actually, there was a toddler running on their pink onesie through the Herbology store, touching plants and big petals with a care and gentleness people in double digits could not even begin to fathom.
Most peculiar of all, their hair was mostly green, matching perfectly with some of the plants they so softly touched with a chubby hand, except for two strands up front that stood jet black against their honey colored skin.
Finally, they seemed to run out of fuel as they bumped into Tom.
Two big green eyes looked up at him with slow blinks, mouth opening and closing like they were about to speak. Then, two chubby arms reached up, demanding to be lifted.
Tom stared incredulous at the small child. Where were their parents? Why were they free roaming the store full of plants that could be potentially harmful to such a small kid? And why in the world did they have green hair of all things?
Said kid patted his legs where he could reach, before extending their arms up again.
Tom looked one way, then the other, hoping the parent would appear out of the woods, but no luck.
Finally, he reached down to take the toddler into his arms.
Two big green eyes stared at him intently now that they were face to face. A small button nose stood between two soft full cheeks, small lips pursed as they scrutinized Tom with intent.
Then the imposible happened.
Magic rippled across the toddler's skin like waves on a calm lake. It left Tom's arms feeling electrified.
Their eyes changed, from deep forest green to dark ocean blue, an exact match to his. His skin paled, and his hair grew a tiny bit and turned to a dark chocolate full of tight curls. His button nose stayed, as did the small round face full of chubby cheeks.
A metamorphmagus.
A baby Metamorphmagus.
Yasss another HP fan art! ⚡️
Istg my latest digital artworks are just like my sketchbook! A bunch of small sketches on a canvas (tho I almost never colour the ones in my sketchbook)… and I’m more than okay with that lol
My favs are definitely the Ginny n George, Ginny n Harry and Auror Ginny ones.. I see no pattern here😳 I also really love Ron’s puzzled face
There are a few more sketches on the way and maybe even an animation with Voldy👀 I really wanna explore as many characters as possible while my hyper fixation is in full swing🤭 Feel free to suggest any characters, especially ships!

the world is running out of glassblowers and yet you want to become a fucking doctor
One of the most jarring moments of my university education was in a physics class when I was given a device that measures gravity and was told “this cost the university sixteen thousand dollars, but the only glass blower in the world who could make the glass springs inside it died so it’s literally irreplaceable. If you drop it those springs will shatter. Go fuck around with it for a day and take some measurements”
In the UK there's a thing called the endangered crafts list which I highly recommend if you fancy discovering some crafts you never even knew existed. Scientific and optical instrument making is considered 'critically endangered' and glassworking (scientific glassware) is just considered endangered, which is for 'crafts with a shrinking market share, an ageing demographic or crafts with a declining number of practitioners.' There's some other crafts in that category which are easier to teach yourself or go to classes on that list, like lithography, marbling or block printing on fabric, so it might be worth considering those if you're looking for something to try.
Obsessed with this! I subscribe to the theory that Harry’s type is quidditch players
