Oh, dear flist! You guys made my birthday so extra fantastic. I just can't thank you all enough. It was an awesome start to another year. I sure love being able to lose myself in the wizarding world!

Thank you for the messages from shiftylinguini, capitu, _melodic_, blithelybonny, firethesound and anemonen. I loved getting notifications through the day from you all! <3

Also, thanks to digthewriter and birdsofshore for the virtual gifts! My first v-gifts EVER! And both chocolatey treats. How'd you guess?!?!

But I also want to make sure you all read those awesome b-day fics that were written for me. FOR ME!!! I really didn't know what to expect from my first birthday in fandom. I love the tradition you all have of writing birthday gifts for friends and have enjoyed so many of the birthday fics you've written for each other. I dared hope I might get one or two and I'm just thrilled with the gifts I've been showered with! Hugs and kisses to you lovelies!!

If you haven't already, check these out:

First was Coded Office Missives that Ms carpemermaid was so nice to publish a couple of days early so I could spread out my celebrations. It's got some dirty talk and office sexy times and Harry doing some wandless magic that I die for EVERY TIME.

Then the lovely _melodic_ wrote me Tender and it is 3k of some serious smut. Whoa. Fingering and rimming and blow jobs, OH MY! But with that smut is some nice love and fluffiness underneath. So, tender really does take on two meanings here. ;)

And digthewriter did her thing where the first letter of every sentence spells out the user name. It's called Getting Handsy. The ending just melted my heart!

And dear gracerene, although she didn't deliver smut, did give me Harry/Draco with a touch of side James/Teddy. It's called Back to You and it's from her Are You Mine? 'verse, which I just love! This one made me cry (the good kind of tears) and I loved every word. I don't think you have to have read that 'verse, but if you have it makes this extra awesome.

And lastly, enchanted_jae wrote a continuation of her Wildside series for me. This is Part 18 so if you haven't read it yet, I highly encourage you to catch up. Especially if you've got a kink for magical tattoos like me. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you all again for all the love!

On another note, I've decided to set some goals for myself for February that I'll save for tomorrow's post. But basically I let myself get a little lost since, like November, and I need to get back to the things that bring me joy. And losing myself in this Harry Potter community just makes me so very happy!

Well, hello friends! *waves*

How are you all? Everyone have/having a wonderful holiday season? It's been such an awesome December with all the advent gifts, daily postings and all-around HP goodness! I've so enjoyed wallowing around in it, but as is the norm these days, I'm woefully behind! We've packed it up and headed to Florida for the week so I'm hoping to catch up on some R&R and some delicious fic reading. Sooooo, since we are in Florida and one does not often find themselves in the Sunshine State, I told the hubs that we were going to Universal Studios to see Harry Potter on our way home! I don't normally make unilateral financial decisions but we would never go if he got a vote so, well, he didn't! The kids and I are so excited we could pee our pants! January 2-3 baby!! I'll be sure to post some pics!!

Hi peeps! Is anyone on my flist an icon maker person? I want a lovely one with Harry and Draco and I don't know how to make. I don't think I want my real face circulating out there anymore. I'd use it on AO3 and tumblr, too. Maybe I'm making this harder than it has to be, idk. Halp!

My commute to and from work is about 25 mins each way and since January I've been listening to audiobooks non-stop. I finished the HP series and then moved on to JK's other novels and the Cormoran Strike series. I had downloaded a couple other ones that sounded promising but I cannot get past the narrator's voice and style. I couldn't listen for more than 10 minutes. Pity.

I am really most drawn in by male, British/Irish/Scottish voices. I'm not finicky about the genre, but I don't want to cry on my way to work! I like detective novels, mystery and suspense. I'm also interested in listening to my first M/M erotica if someone has an all-time favorite!

I follow Tom Felton on Instagram and he posted a cute little video of himself singing and playing the guitar and looking very un-Draco like.

It made me start to wonder when Tom's Draco stopped being my Draco Headcanon. Even when I'm reading 8th year or Hogwarts Era, it's not him I'm picture anymore. It kinda makes me sad.

Is Tom still Draco to you? If not, do you picture someone else you've seen like Lucky Smith? Or is he all in your head?

Also, I kinda squeed bc he's singing Let's Dance to Joy Division, which is an older little fic by femmequixotic that you should totally check out.
