Not Quite Fate and Misconceptions by Hearts Cadence
The Bat-Bogeys Cometh by Anise
idreamofdraco has a list with drinny fic recs, that probably will be much more helpful :)
She should have been firm. She should have told him to go. It was a bad idea, him being here in her room. What if Lily had a nightmare and came looking for Mummy? What if Harry did hear them? Or worse, what if Ron did? But she was tired, dammit. She was tired of her own family acting like she was the villain. As if she’d broken poor Harry’s heart – which she bloody well hadn’t, thank you very much. Never mind her own heart, which had been ignored in the process. And with Draco… Merlin help her, but he made her feel that spark she’d been missing – only it wasn’t a spark at all. It was an inferno burning hot. She might go down in flames with it, but selfishly, she didn’t c a r e. [x]
Hi! Huge fan of your edits and I don't mean to pry or rush you, but just wanted to ask if u have any updates on the english translation of your fics :)) they look so good and inreresting and i've been fighting the urge to just use google translate to read them lmao thanks and hope u have an awesome day!
hi! thank you for the kind words, means a lot to me, truly <3
unfortunately there is no updates on english translation, here is why:
a. I'm in the middle of my final reading/editing of Back to Black (took a loooooong time to come back to this fic since i first started it and even longer to make me somewhat satisfied by it)
b. it's almost 200k words now (it was 120k before), and I'm afraid that there is just no drinny shippers in russian community that has enough language skills or dedication to do this. maybe if it was dramione fic, but drinny... I doubt that. I would've done it myself but as you probably noticed I have zero knowledge of english grammar. the thing about russian/english translations is that it's SO much harder than vice versa. complexity is a part of it's beauty, and my writing style does not help at all (I was raised on russian literature, so can you really blame me?).
c. my other WIP Fragile was temporarily deleted from all platforms due to the fact that the last update was years ago (yes, I am that author BUT I'm doing better job now when I finally came back to the fandom hehe), so in order to finish the fic I need to rework it a little. that one is supposedly shorter in words, so maybe I will be able to find someone to help me with the translation.
so there's that. if you would still like to use google translate for Back to Black please wait till I finish my editing. i could notify you when I'm done :)
P.S. one of the funniest parts of it all is that I actually design a lot of scenes in very poorly written english and I do have to translate them back to russian later lol. which is stupid because english romance sounds awfully cheesy in russian (that language was built for angst and drama, not for fluff). idk. I consume media/cinema/books in english so it's just makes more sense to me.
anyways sorry for rambling and thanks so much again! have a nice day ❤️
moodboards: otps ➡ Draco/Ginny (HP) requested by @gryffindorkx
“I don’t know if we should be alone together I still got a crush, that’s obvious If nobody’s around, what’s stopping us? Everywhere I go you show, whatever I don’t ever mind sharing oxygen I just wanna get lost in your lungs.”
“Please be careful,” she said. Draco looked almost amused. “It’s nice that you’re concerned.” Ginny’s next words came out of her mouth without any foreknowledge on her part that she was about to speak them. “I am concerned,” she said. “I love you.” His head jerked up and he stared at her, an expression of absolute astonishment on his face. She stared back. She would have thought she would be fighting to keep her expression neutral, but really she only felt very calm. She had said it. Let him do with it whatever he wanted. Although really, he must have known. How could he not? When he replied, it was with only one word, and not the one she was expecting. “Why?”
Hello there! :D I'm a die-hard D/G shipper since 2005, I used to make a lot of graphics about them in the past, but after 3 years away from tumblr and the HP fandom in general I wasn't sure this awesome ship was still alive! I finally decided to come back to tumblr and I found this gorgeous piece of heaven! Not only a D/G blog, but thousands of pics with Boyd!Draco and Cintia!Ginny, just my favourite Draco and Ginny! I love you, miss. You just made my day! :) Keep going on like this!
Hey!) Your message totally made MY day, so thnx so much for texting me this! I was totally in love with your blog when i just started searching d/g arts for my russian drinny community) it's really nice to know that you came back to tumblr!)
(sorry for my possible mistakes in grammar… haven't practiced english for a while)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

HP Next Gen Ships: Scorily/Scorlily
It was a big surprise to everyone when the most energetic Potter began to date the calm and collected Malfoy.
Lily Luna was very much a rocket in terms of energy: always shooting for the stars. She was loud and bubbly and bouncy. Scorpius Malfoy was usually seen with either her brother or by himself, either reading a book or parchment. When he was with her, Scorpius felt like the sky really was the limit, and yet when Lily was with him, she felt more grounded than ever before.
Their relationship was like the stars in the sky: better seen from afar, otherwise you would get blind at how bright they burned. He was the simple black-and-white while she screamed colour.
