nerakrosei'm terribly late with this post (or so it feels) but reveals are still a ways away so i think that's okay?? (part of the fun of anon fests is making recs before the reveals go up, imo.)
anyway! i haven't read any fics this year aside from my own gift (i have a bunch marked for later but who knows when i'll get around to them) but there is a TON of fantastic art! i've picked out my favourites below.

Summary: Draco sighed, knowing he would live to regret his next words, “I’m willing to do anything it takes to get Scorpius the life he deserves, even if that means pretending to be madly in love with you, you intolerable buffoon.”
Somehow I got lucky enough to be gifted over sixty thousands words' worth of FAKE DATING fic OMG. this is a classic take on the trope, with mutual pining and obliviousness (it's purely Draco's POV, but you can just SEE how head over heels Harry is and you just want to shake Draco and yell at him for not noticing). Scorpius is adorable - i love them as dads, ngl, or caretakers, and this was just perfect in that regard. here's some of my favourite lines:
He was only five minutes late, but Draco had been five minutes early so it felt like a lifetime
“I always forget how hard it is to leave the house when you have two kids to get ready. Especially now James has decided that clothes are optional.”
He turned to find Harry leaning out of his office looking rather harried for such an early hour.
(ok that last one is purely because i love bad puns and i don't care how overdone the harry/harried thing is, i cackle gleefully every time.)
ERISED ART RECS:
Seekers Seeking - this one is a GIF! it's funny and banter-y, and i love how the artist chose to tell the story via gif form, instead of e.g. making it a comic. the last panel/frame is probably my favourite because of how relaxed and friendly they are.
Beech and Phoenix Feather, 11 Inches - this is one i looked at for a long time, just taking in all the details. the mountains in the background, the contrasting colours, the intimacy between them. it's gorgeous.
Who Do You Call Old - this is a wonderful glimpse into harry and draco's life together, told through pages in a photo album/scrap book, and the snarky commentary over it. it's so warm and happy i just ♥ this is another one i looked at for a long time, just taking in all the details. there's so much stuff - it's a whole life!
The Double Closet - this is a piece of evocative and aching art. i love how the colours, contrast, and bodylanguage tell the story. it's beautiful.
A Very Blorpy Christmas - this is a hilarious and skillfully rendered comic about misbehaving & matchmaking christmas decorations. i love the artist's limited colour palette, light/shadow render and their panel set up, it's a really well done piece of work. draco is precious and i just love how...funny it is. it's funny! it made me laugh and smile so much.
Two Idiots, a Tent, and a Suspicious Lack of Jobberknolls - more matchmaking! this is also a hilarious comic. harry is his oblivious self while draco bends over provocatively at every turn and even resorts to wearing a tiny bikini (which ofc results in a sunburn). lots of banter and funny moments.
Aaand the anonymous masterlist is here (tumblr link). :D
