Dronarry fest fic: to dust we burn

Title: to dust we burn Creator: bright_rain Type: Fic Wordcount/length: 16k Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Tags: endgame drarry with the future promise of dronarry, mutual pining, DJ Draco Malfoy, Acrobat Ron Weasley, the Weasleys are american muggles, burning man, experimenting with sex and drugs, sex while tripping, strap ons, Ginny Weasley pegs Harry Potter but it's for science not for love, the barest hint of knife play Pairing: Draco/Harry, Draco/Harry/Ron

Harry Potter is pathetic. He watches the playa dust cling to Draco’s skin and wishes he could run his tongue through it to create patterns across the strong, pale surfaces of him. He wants to inhale a lungful of the dust and choke on it, just to stop from suffocating on the feelings pressing down on his chest, because every time Draco touches him, Harry nearly combusts.

Until one day, an American boy with flame red hair pulls them both in and lights a match. How beautifully agonizing, to endure the sizzle and snap of a fire as it licks up to consume anything worth catching.

Or, Harry and Draco meet Ron at Burning Man.

William Morris (1834-1896） Tree of Life

the ocean as a metaphor ALWAYS slaps. the ocean as a hungry force that wants to consume you? the ocean as something vast and unknowable, like a god itself? the ocean as freedom and liberation? the ocean as the mysteries of the self? the ocean as love? never fails to get me

i'm sorry but this is the only submission to this trend that i'll consider giving any thought to

i say this with 100% sincerity: if you want to know who monica lewkinsky is, she's the person who deserves to be back in the white house more than any person alive and she should get full rights to execute any 1990s comedians of her choice by firing squad. she deserves to be on the $20 bill and have her own monument on the national mall, but instead she's happy with reclaiming the narrative. she should have been america's people's princess instead of diana. we don't deserve her.

Okay, so I did google her and the scandal you mentioned in the tags, and I have two things to say

1. Holy shit

2. Yeah, I think she has the best one for the trend

Somehow, it is one thing to know that people born after 9/11 are now adults, but it is another entirely to understand that there is a cohort of adults who don’t know who Monica Lewinsky is.

Yeaaaaah.

I've seen fake Monica tweets before so I double checked this one and I'm delighted to report that it's real

Please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't she get famous for blowing the president? That's about as much as I was ever told about her

Yup. She was perfectly willing and able to walk away. She chose to take part. She's been riding that train ever since.

… she was an intern at the White House. Imagine being an intern at the White House right out of college decades before the current wave of feminism. And the *president of the nation* asks you to blow him in the Oval Office. And you want to work in the white house as your full-time job. Do you deny him? Suppose you don’t want to do it. Can you deny him?

I’m thrilled by the modern-day attitudes about this. Genuinely, the way this would go in 2024 is that the intern could say no and tell the press what happened and half of America would support them. But when I was a kid? No way!

And Monica Lewinsky didn’t ride a train to fame from this situation. She was America’s laughingstock and punching bag for twenty years. She was the butt of every sex joke and the least respected person that everyone knew the name of. She couldn’t live any sort of remotely normal life or do the things that she wanted to do because every single person, including all members of the press and every comedian, was out to get her. Every “cancelled” celebrity nowadays pretends they’ve been treated the way Monica Lewinsky was and you know what, she’s right that they wouldn’t last an hour in her shoes.

I’m very happy about the cultural shift that has allowed her to come back into the public again. You have to understand how recent this shift was.

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

But queer is more inclusive

And faster to pronounce if you are talking instead of writing.

It’s not more inclusive, and if your excuse of using a slur as a blanket term is “it’s faster to say”, GENUINELY what is wrong with you

It’s called economía del lenguaje.

It’s also the respected academic term?? The acronym isn’t static and it’s usage is varied by things like generational difference, location, and knowledge of the community. Even just in the U.S. in the last few decades the common usage gone from GLBT to LGBT to LGBTQ, to LGBTQA/LGBTQIA/LGBTQIAP/etc (Which, let me tell you as someone who has given presentations in the past using these updated acronyms, are all real mouthfulls), to LGBT+.

Also yes, queer is more inclusive! Especially coming at it from an academic standpoint, people didn’t always use or identify with the terms we use now and you can’t always try to cram them into our modern perceptions of sexuality. We can argue for years about whether a famous historical figure was gay or bisexual or straight and trans or whatever, but if we can all agree that they were somehow queer then using that term allows us to move past the debate and into productive discussion. And not everybody everywhere shares the same terms for sexual and gender identity, or even the same concepts of those things, so queer really is a more inclusive term in a lot of cases.

Like yeah if you’re talking specifically about gay or trans people you can just say gay or transgender, but if you’re talking about more than one identity or someone who doesn’t conform to our perceptions of ‘LGBT,’ or a person or people whose identity you don’t know, queer is just the better word.

“That’s SO gay”, “Oh my god, you’re not a LESBIAN, are you?”

Your words are slurs, too. Why do you get your words, but I don’t get mine? What makes you so special?

I’m here, I’m queer, go fuck yourself.

queer is not a slur, stop drinking the TERF koolaid

every time one of you fools spout about ‘queer is a slur’ a terf laughs because their fucking plan to make that word ‘taboo’ is fucking working you dipshit.

I did not get my degree in queer literature for you all to keep pulling this bullshit.

baby gays,,,, i beg of you to learn your queer history and stop listening to terf bullshit

every single one of our labels has been used as a slur against us.

terfs and -phobes are always going to try and hurt us with what we identify as. but the fact remains these are OUR labels and always have been.

we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.

I don’t know if this is just because I’m not American but I’ve never heard queer used as a slur. Ever. Meanwhile gay was the insult in the 2000s here. Everything you didn’t like was ‘soo gay’. Queer wasn’t even a word most of us knew back then.

It just baffled me that people would think an identifier is automatically a slur just because someone uses it to mock someone. If we did that gay would be a slur. Stupid would be a slur. Autistic would be a slur.

The reason people are upset about the word queer is that it’s a unifying term. You can say you’re queer and all people will know is that you’re part of the community. But you can’t say you’re LGBT, you have to say you’re gay or trans or ace. They don’t want you to be ambiguously queer. They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re undesirable.

yeah in the 90s and early 2000s kids would call each other “gay” as an insult. But no one ties themselves in knots over whether “gay” is a slur. So yeah, please ffs learn your history.

They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re undesirable.

Dronarry Fest Fic: The Houseguest

Title: The Houseguest Creator: @hoko-onchi-writes Type: Fic Wordcount/length: 14k Rating: Explicit Warnings: No archive warnings Tags: Pining, Quidditch, sauna, jealous Ron, possessive Ron, slutty Harry, friends to lovers, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and they were roommates, threesome, explicit sexual content, recreational drinking, recreational drugs, light use of veritaserum, switching, morally grey Draco, flying metaphors Pairing: Draco/Harry, Harry/Ron, Draco/Harry/Ron, Draco/Ron

Ron catches Harry fucking Malfoy in the Quidditch sauna. Then Malfoy fucking Harry in their flat. Multiple times. Ron’s been having weird reactions to it, like angry boners and weird sex fantasies. Even though he’s most definitely heterosexual.

It's fine. None of Harry's boyfriends actually stick around. Ron is sure it's fine. He's heterosexual. And he's definitely not in love with his best mate.
