I have a few different rec lists, so here is a handy-dandy post linking you to all of them. Be warned, I am a huge fan of smut and almost all of my recs are rated R or NC-17, so if you are looking for lower-rated fics, this is not the place for you. This is also almost exclusively slash pairings, though every once in awhile a het pairing manages to sneak its way in there.

I also dabble in fanfic writing, so if you're interested, you can find that HERE.

If you are curious about my likes/dislikes/preferences in fic because you want to make me something (or because you're just nosy), you can find those HERE.

I read in a ton of fandoms, but this is mostly geared towards Harry Potter. Most of these likes are pretty general, but they hold most true for my OTPs (in HP's case Harry/Draco and James Sirius/Teddy). I'm a lot less particular when it comes to the other pairings I enjoy.

And, of course, this is just a list of my general preferences. For just about all of my "dislikes" I can think of fabulous exceptions. If you are making something for me, I can pretty much guarantee I'm going to love it! <3

Tons of thanks to birdsofshore, from whom I stole this format/organization of ideas.

hd_erised is back, baby! This is actually going to be my last year modding, which is bittersweet. But I've been drifting away from fandom in general, and HP in particular, for a long time now, and I feel ready to say goodbye. If any of y'all are Drarry-inclined, I'd love to see you join! <3


hd_erised is a Harry/Draco exchange fest

It's been ages since I've done a rec round-up and TBH, I'm not even sure if I've posted some of these before, but ehh, double reccing is hardly a bad thing!

( Harry Potter: Drarry )

( Supernatural: Wincest )

I mean, at least I broke 1k? I wasn't surprised this was a low week, since I was editing + starting a new fic which is a bit slow. Plus, I continue to have very limited time/mental capacity for writing, which is very annoying, as is, I'm sure, my continued complaining about it. Alas.

Title: All the Time in the World
Author: gracerene
Pairing(s): Draco/Harry, past Harry/Ginny & Draco/Astoria
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~5,660
Content/Notes: epilogue compliant, past relationship, getting back together, past time travel, pining, caretaking, cooking, mild self-consciousness, blow jobs, anal fingering, intergluteal
Summary: It's been two weeks since Draco—his Draco—came back into his life, and Harry wants.
Author's Notes: This is a sequel to my Drarry time travel fic, A Matter of Time, and I recommend reading that fic first, as I'm not sure this one really works well as a stand-alone.

Happy birthday, icarusinflight! I started this fic back in November 2019, with the intention of posting it for your birthday in 2020, but alas, life interfered! Terribly bad form, gifting you a sequel to a fic I wrote & posted over three years ago and which you've probably almost entirely forgotten, but I have a long and storied history of gifting people weird and inappropriate fics! You've been such a wonderful light in fandom and when you were so enthusiastic and lovely about A Matter of Time when it posted, I immediately got this little plot bunny of a follow-up to the fic. I do hope you like it—sorry it's so abysmally late!

Thanks so much to my beta shiftylinguini and my brit-picker writcraft, who both conveniently know the birthday Le quite well and gave great feedback! <3

Once again, not as many words as I'd have liked, but they all came from 2 days of writing. I think I may have to come to terms with the fact that my work and life situation has evolved such that I'm now primarily a weekend writer. I'm at my most creatively productive in the mornings, and with a job that actually requires me to work during business hours, it's become difficult for me to get words down during the week. I'm going to try experimenting with structured evening writing sessions to see if that helps, but if not, I think I'll just need to adjust my expectations!

Not a ton of words, but considering these basically all happened in January, I'm happy with the trend! So far I've written every day in 2023 and I'm keen to maintain the trend if I can!

2022 Writing Wrap-Up

This has been my worst writing year in terms of overall word count since I started writing. To give some context, it's about 60k lower than my next lowest WC year, which was 151k in 2020. Which in turn was about 40-50k below the average of all of my other writing years, which have been 190k+. I know for a lot of people, 90k words in a year may still seem like quite a lot, but as you can see, I'm used to writing more, and I've felt that difference in terms of my output. Like a lot of people, this has been a really rough year, almost especially because nothing terrible has happened at all. But mentally I have been seriously depleted, which has understandably taken a toll on my creative energy. I'd really love to try and regain some of that in the new year, but we'll see how it goes.

Total fics posted in 2022: 22

2022 Total Word Count Goal: 93,865 / 150,000

2022 Total Writing Days Goal: 202 / 220

Not terrible! I was hoping for better, but the muse continues to be fickle, and with RL busyness + lots of modly stuff for Erised, I just haven't had enough time or spoons. But we soldier on!

LOL, this looks like I did a ton! And I definitely did bounce around between a bunch of different fics, but a lot of that was editing/tweaking, and not particularly word-heavy, plus this is for two weeks as I missed last week. Still, I think maybe I'm slightly moving past my funk? Maybe?

Same, same. Sloooooowly eeking out words, but I'm just not super in the mood to write? Or rather, I *am* in the mood to write, but I just don't know what. It's like when you're hungry but nothing sounds good? Very frustrating, LOL.
