The Hogwarts Express Leaves King’s Cross on September 1st at 11:00AM Sharp! All Aboard!

Magic abounds as we spend the day with Hogwarts AUs! (And it seems fitting as, after nearly 3 months on hiatus, today is a bit like the first day back to school for the blog).

Anonymous said: Recs are coming back! Woohoo!!!! You’re one of my favorite fic rec blogs and although everyone is busy trying to save the show on twitter I still crave good fanfic to keep me up at night later than I should cause I’m so into a story.


They are! I’m still heavily involved with #SaveShadowhunters on Twitter, but I’ve really missed running the blog and reading fics and having that bit of normalcy (as weird as that might sound) in my life. I’m very excited to be back and I’m happy to hear that you’re looking forward to it as well. 😊

You Pick the Tag Event: Adjusted Schedule & Voting Procedure

This event is designed to allow readers to vote for a thematic tag they would like to see primarily featured in Malec fic recs on Fridays for 8 weeks. Following the hiatus, I have adjusted the event schedule. It will now begin on September 7th and will run every Friday through October 26th.

I have also slightly altered the voting procedure. Instead of voting each week for the following Friday’s theme, I have created a Google Form that includes a poll for every week so votes can be submitted all at once. It is currently OPEN for votes and will close on September 1st at 9:00PM EST. Each poll features different thematic tags, allowing for a variety of choices and recs for each week.

The poll for the first week’s thematic tag had already run in its entirety prior to the hiatus being instated. As such, I will honor those results. Week #1 will feature recs with Arranged Marriage as a central theme. 

The polls included in the form are for Week #2 through Week #8 of the event. Here are the choices: 

Week #2: September 14th

  • Celebrity
  • Coffee Shop
  • College
  • Crime
  • Domesticity

Week #3: September 21st

  • Enemies to Lovers
  • Established Relationship
  • Fairy Tales
  • Friends to Lovers

Week #4: September 28th

  • High School
  • Historical
  • Illness
  • Injury

Week #5: October 5th

  • Kidnapping
  • Married Couple
  • Military
  • Music

Week #6: October 12th

  • Neighbors
  • Office
  • Parents
  • Pretend Relationship

Week #7: October 19th

  • Reincarnation
  • Secret Relationship
  • Shadow World Politics
  • Soulmates

Blog Return Date

Following a three-month #SaveShadowhunters hiatus, I am setting September 1st as the blog’s official return date. Stay tuned for information concerning the You Pick the Tag Event, as I’m going to change things up a bit.

New Fillable Form for Finding Fics

I was doing a bit of housekeeping on the blog this morning and realized that there has been an influx of requests for finding a specific fic. While I’m more than happy to try to track them down, quite a few of them have been fairly vague and/or they do not include information that I can use to search for them on A03. This makes it extremely difficult (and less likely) for me to find them.

As a result, I have created a Google Form in an attempt to make this process easier and more likely to be successful. Please answer as many of the questions listed on it as you can in order to help me find the fic you’re looking for.

You can find the form by clicking here or clicking on the link provided on the Ask page.

@ashreenao asked: Hey!! So idk if you’re still doing this while on your hiatus thing but i was reading this fic where Alec and Magnus were professors at Hogwarts and i don’t really remember any specifics other than the fact that Jace likes Simon who likes Raphael who owned a shop in Hogsmeade. Do you think you could help me find it?? Thanks!!


Hi! I think you’re referring to The Magic In His Kiss by heartsdesire456. You can view the fic’s full rec here. I hope that helps!
