Honestly, I can't even remember. I remember I started reading fanfiction back when I was around 12 or 13, and somehow I stumbled upon Irresistible Poison. I stayed up all night reading it (literally all night. I didn't sleep that night and was SO EXHAUSTED the next day haha) and I've been hooked ever since. But I can't remember when caused me to decide to read a Harry/Draco fic? I think maybe someone on my Livejournal friends list was a Drarry fan and recommended it, but I'm not sure.

With me I decided to try reading a Drarry fic. And then it just went from there. Also the song 'In Which Draco and Harry Secretly Make Out' by The Whomping Willows definitely had something to do with it.

At first I discovered slash/yoai fics from the Naruto fandom (>_> narusasu haha awks), but I remember stumbling across some d/h and thinking "nahh that's not possible". However I ended up reading naruto and potter crossovers (omg so much badfic, everyone was gay???) which lead me to drarry. I can't remember my earliest drarry fics, but I definitely remember Big Dick, Come Quick making a very lasting impression. And then I fell in love with it.

It's one of the most amazingly complex things that I started shipping. Isn't it, though? That's my favorite thing about Drarry. I feel like there's so much more that has to happen for Drarry to work compared to a more simple relationship like Harry/Ginny or Hermione/Ron. So much has to happen for them to even tolerate each other, never even mind love/bang each other. It's wonderful.

Well I also made a YouTube video on the subject. I had said "It's amazing because in a relationship like Drarry you're free to imagine evry little detail versus what's canon." which is incredibly true.

Ha, I also discovered yaoi through Naruto too (sasunaru was my first slash ship ever lol god that's soo long ago). Drarry didn't come until way later. I was searching Harry Potter parody/inspired songs on youtube and I stumbled upon oblivateme/tiicklemyfancy's song "Don't be a Stranger," which was inspired by Reparations by Saras_Girl. The song got me interested, so I read the fic and I was instantly hooked.

I would love to watch it. I agree with you completely. There's soooo much room to work with drarry compared to more canon compliant fics.

I discovered Yaoi with Fullmetal Alchemist and I used to read a lot of doujinshis. The first fanfics I've read were Zuko/Katara from Avatar and Destiel from Supernatural ^^ I knew Drarry was a thing but before re-reading the entire serie of books, it never really got my interest, and I honestly don't know why because those characters have the best dynamic I've ever seen.

I don't remember the exact moment, or even the first fic that I read. It just kinda happened a couple of years ago and now a huge portion of my day is dedicated to thinking about drarry

I started shipping Drarry when I was about 13 when I first read Irresistible Poison. I'm 20 now and the flame hasn't died a bit. ^_^ I just think they need each other; they're "opposites" but they're so alike; two sides of the same coin. Snarky and determined, passionate and witty, and I really love the idea of them laughing and having a good time together.

When I was really little (8 or 9)I fell in love with Lord of the Rings, and I always thought 'Sam and Frodo were meant to be together, why weren't they together?' and then I discovered gay fanfiction later on, Naruto actually though I've never seen the TV show. At first I thought Harry x Draco was a ridiculous pairing, but as I continued to read it I liked the sophistication of a lot of the writing in the fandom and the huge number of possibilities that the world created by JK Rowling offers.

Here is my Why, but mostly my How:
When I was 12, I was really into Fullmetal Alchemist (Anime/Manga) and one day I googled my little heart out on stuff about the anime, and found a page about Nicholas Flamel and the Philosopher Stone that the main characters are trying to obtain, and thought I had heard that name from Harry Potter and the Sorcerers/Philosophers Stone. So me being only 12 and extremely gullible thinking illuminati was at work or something I spent a little while googling similarities between the two , and then stumbled across a crossover fanfiction, (Roy and Ed have to go to Hogwarts to get the stone) and I read it, all night, amazed and in awe over the relationships! Draco and Harry kissing?! And it just seemed to make sense because obviously Draco has a hardcore crush on Harry! My 12 year old brain was pleased with the arrangement xD I have been obsessed with fanfiction ever since, and both Drarry and Royed are otps of mine to this day :D (seven years of fangirlism o.o)
And plus the arch rival/sexual tension thing is kinda hot. Teeheehee :3
