Rumi x Jinu stole my heart, & I spent the weekend writing this oneshot instead of working on what I was supposed to

And it’s rated Teen! Who am I??

Debating writing a second (actually explicit) chapter. And coming up with a way to bring back demon Jinu, because 🫠

But for now, enjoy the fluff 😇

An Art to Life's Distractions by charingfae

"I know you're probably worried about coming too quickly--"

"Not helping," he muttered. All he could think about was coming. Sliding into her slick heat, feeling a woman--Granger--wrapped around his cock for the first time.

"--but it's perfectly normal. Obviously I don't have a cock so I'll never know what it feels like to fuck something, but I imagine it's so satisfying--"

"Granger. Really not helping."

🌸 Written for Deflower Draco

An Art to Life's Distractions by Charingfae. Chapter three. [Image shows the painting “Reading Woman” by Laura Lacambra Shubert. A woman lies on a piece of furniture and reads a book, with one hand flung over her forehead]

To anyone else, it was a maddening sea of rambunctious waves—purple and turquoise and silver. To him, it was the radial curl by her left temple; the frazzled, salt-licked waves on the back of her head.

And if the soft, winding slopes of the mountains beyond the sea followed the exact curvature of her upper lip, no one needed to know.

An Art to Life’s Distractions, chapter two. Soft, muted photo of a woman holding a paint palette and brush.

“Do I have something on my face?”

His heart raced at having been caught out.

No, he wanted to say.

Just light.

Virgin Draco Malfoy, fluff and mild angst, coming of age, safehouse AU

Across the room, Pansy's head rested on Weasley's shoulder. They were holding hands.

Theo and Potter had given up all pretence and were fully curled up together.

It made Draco strangely lonely.

And then he made the mistake that would come to haunt him for days.

He looked at Granger.

My sincerest apologies to bluesky, because I keep forgetting this platform exists. Anyways, here's Wonderwall (chapter 6 of Lead Me Not Into Temptation)

archiveofourown.org/works/621944...

Cover image for chapter six of Lead Me Not Into Temptation by charingfae. A marble statue of a woman draped in a sheer cloth with her hands joined together and raised above her head. The image is soft and slightly faded, with grey and red undertones.

Her hips roll forward, pressing against his hard length, and Draco groans. They break the kiss, both panting. She likes the way he looks after they kiss. Flushed. Dishevelled. Ravaged.

“Don’t tempt me,” he rasps.

“Tempt you?”

“You are,” he says, drinking her in greedily and brushing his thumbs over her nipples, “nothing but temptation.”

I’m voting AI, mostly because when I zoom in on the nightstand, the objects have that weird garbled AI effect where they’re not actually anything

It’s WIP Wednesday so of course I started a new one 😌

Nervous about her upcoming marriage to Ron, Hermione approaches Father Draco with a unique request. She wants to learn how to please him before their wedding night.

And she wants Father Draco to teach her.

As a nanny, Hermione's used to taking care of people. When she has nowhere to go for the holidays, her very hot, competent employer takes care of /her/ for a change.

I'm so excited to share my submission for this year's D/Hr Advent! Still pinching myself in disbelief that I was invited to participate along with many of my favorite writers and artists.

I hope you enjoy this lightly angsty, romantic tale ♥️
