Summary:
After the war, Harry’s life falls to shambles. Each day revolves around an intense battle with his mental health, and there’s nothing that Ron or Hermione can do to help him. That is, until Hermione teaches Harry how to knit. Fast forward five years, and Harry is the proud owner of a renowned knitting shop in Diagon Alley, The Whomping Willow Woolery. Christmas season is upon him, and the shop is busier than ever. So, is it really a surprise that Draco Malfoy wanders in looking for a gift for his mother? Cue awkward meetings, fluffy knitting lessons, a truly horrible scarf, a cat named Stockinette who is readily obsessed with Draco, and falling in love with one’s worst enemy.
Excerpt:
Instinctively, Harry took both of Draco’s icy hands in his own and immediately began sinking into the sensation of skin on skin. “Draco… you’ve somehow become one of the most important people in my life over the past fifteen days, and, frankly, I feel like Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without seeing you.”
Draco blinked at him earnestly. “You mean that?”
Harry let out a soft pitter of laughter. “Of course I mean it. In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been trying to find every excuse to hang out with you. I just can’t stop thinking about all the years we wasted hating each other.”
“No, I think those years were important,” Draco murmured, looking down at their hands intertwined. “Without them, we wouldn’t be where we are.”
Staring at Draco, whose pale skin was flushed in the dim amber glow coming from the living room lamp, Harry felt a wave of courage coursing through him, and he realised that if he didn’t say something right here, right now, then he never would.
Harry slowly removed his right hand from where it had been resting on Draco’s and moved it upwards, cupping Draco’s cheek. The softness and warmth of his face underneath Harry’s calloused fingers was addicting, and although Draco’s pale pewter eyes had gone wide with skepticism, Harry reassured himself that he was making the right decision.
If not now, when?
“Draco,” Harry began, his voice barely above a soft whisper, “I… I have something to tell you.”
“Oh. Okay,” Draco said, a look of uneasiness shifting across his face. “What is it?”
Harry took in a deep, shuddering breath. “Have you ever felt tethered to someone, as though there was a string connecting the two of you together? It’s like I’m on a yarn winder, and no matter how fast or slow I’m spinning, the other person is winding the same way.”
Draco’s eyes flicked upwards, catching Harry’s. “Yes, I know the feeling. Who are you winding with?”
“You, Draco,” Harry murmured, his heart thudding against his chest. “I’m winding with you.”
Draco shifted forward, one hand moving to Harry’s chest and the other to the nape of Harry’s neck. “Well, that’s awfully convenient.”
Harry swallowed thickly. “Why?”
“Because I’m winding with you, too.”
Draco’s words echoed in Harry’s ears repeatedly until they nearly lost meaning. Sitting so close to Draco, Harry could make out things that he’d never quite noticed before: his eyelashes the colour of white gold, a dark spot on the bottom left of his blush coloured lips, and the barely visible trail of sandy freckles dotting the bridge of his sharp nose.
And, instantaneously, Harry knew that none of this had been a sudden, spur-of-the-moment development. He’d been, in fact, falling in love with Draco Malfoy for years. One of his most painful memories, that of the Astronomy Tower all those years ago, crossed his mind, and he realised that he’d seen then the same version of Draco that he was seeing now; scared, and with a lot to lose.
The warmth from Draco’s palm felt steady against Harry’s chest, reassuring him that this was real ― that Draco was here, in his flat, saying that he felt the same way.
Harry leaned forward, their foreheads pressed together, and let out a soft breath. “May I kiss you?”
Pulling back just enough so that they could look at each other again, Draco reached up and gently took off Harry’s glasses, placing them on the table. “Now you can.”
Their movements weren’t rushed, instead coming together with a softness that Harry hadn’t expected. As their lips met, Harry could feel the rest of the world fall away. The only thing that mattered was right in front of him.
It wasn’t fireworks, as first kisses were so often described in Muggle media. Instead, kissing Draco was like a thousand beating wings rushing towards the sun, a vibrant warmth spreading through his chest as they held each other close. There was a certain comfort in Draco’s slightly chapped lips, as though Harry had known and been intimate with them for years now. He supposed he had, to a degree, having memorised the form of Draco’s lips from all the way across the Great Hall throughout his time at Hogwarts.
In some ways, it was just like coming home.

HD Erised 2023 recs
Here are some of my favorite fics from @hd-erised 2023. Listed in alphabetical order.
Always the Last to Know by @nv-md [10k]
“I’m not napping,” Harry mumbled, his face still pressed to the floor. “I’m thinking.” “Salazar help us,” Draco muttered, walking around Harry’s prone body. Out of the corner of his eye, a bit blurrily, Harry watched as Draco lay beside him. “And what, pray tell, is so difficult to ponder that it requires a lie down?” Harry took a deep breath, very much considered lying, closed his eyes, and said, “Love.”
Clear Skies, Full Hearts by iota / @sorrybutblog​ [32k]
Harry loves everything about playing professional Quidditch – the rush of flying, the rush of winning, the rush of getting off with rival seeker Draco Malfoy. Harry’s the highest scoring rookie Seeker in the history of the League. He’s also, inexplicably, obsessively, hooking up with Draco. When Draco unexpectedly quits the League and disappears from Harry’s life, Harry doesn’t stop wondering what it all meant and if he’ll ever get another chance to find out.
Draco Malfoy, Bloodsucking Fiend by @kbrick [23k]
There are two things that Draco’s Auror partner, Harry Potter, must never know about him. One is that he’s a vampire. The other is that he’s been completely, pathetically, head-over-heels in love with Harry for years. But when the duo is trapped inside an old shop on Diagon Alley with no means of escape, Draco finds himself fiending for blood and unable to put even a modicum of distance between himself and the man he can’t stop lusting after.
How To Train Your Malfoy by @fencer-x [93k]
Good manners dictate that, when one’s best friend Apparates onto one’s doorstep holding the unconscious, haggard body of the schoolyard bully and begging for sanctuary, one ought to invite the two of them in for a cup of tea. Harry Potter sometimes wishes he weren’t so polite.
Jasmine in Bloom by @lqtraintracks [41k]
This is not something Draco can have in his life… Potter overturning all that he’s carefully cultivated. They’re not compatible and never will be. Draco’s been playing with fire. It just so happens that he likes how Potter smoulders before being allowed close enough to burn.
Last Time by bluefay / @thesleepiesthufflepuff [3k]
There are eight years of hatred and seven years of tolerance behind every tease, every blowjob, and every screw. No matter how it ends, though, Draco just hopes he doesn’t lose Potter as a friend.
Martyred by @doingthechachaslide [82k]
Harry Potter only wants one thing: to take care of the people he loves. After Teddy’s abrupt departure from his role as Andromeda’s caretaker, Harry decides it’s finally time to step up and handle the job himself. Castoff Manor, an old Black family estate, has never seemed as sinister as the stories make it sound, but it’s there that Harry stumbles upon ghosts, haunting family secrets, and a familiar, snarky blond gardener hell-bent on chasing him out. Maybe if Harry sticks around long enough, he’ll finally learn why all of Andromeda’s previous caretakers have fled without looking back.
Never Mind the Bollocks by @the-sinking-ship [118k]
If someone told Harry six months ago that by autumn he would be single, living on whisky and toast, and dancing the night away with Draco Malfoy, he would have told them to get their head checked. And yet, here he was.
Nothing Gold Can Stay by @moonflower-rose [40k]
One summer evening, Harry Potter vanished in the middle of dinner with his friends. Four days later he came back. Sort of. Draco Malfoy is on the case.
The Room that Changed Everything by @multiverse-of-fanfic [18k]
When a sabotaged potion lands Harry and Draco in detention, Harry must wrestle with two uncomfortable truths: One, Malfoy the nemesis no longer exists. And Two, Harry is embarrassingly attracted to him. With the war behind them, can Harry and Malfoy build something from the ashes, or are they doomed to be enemies forever?
Sugarplum by @mallstars [27k]
The air crackled as it busied itself shifting around molecules, making way for a hefty slab of magic, and then there it was: the Knight Bus, squeezed neatly into a pocket of Wizarding space among stagnant Muggle buses, vibrant violet amidst a string of cherry red. The door sprang open. "Draco," said Potter, a little breathless, a little cheerful. He smelled of coconut lotion, Cockroach Clusters and a sloppy ironing charm. Lifting one hand off the steering wheel, Potter gave a small wave. He wore gloves. Fingerless, the leather black against the sunlight. Leather. In August.
Thickets by @wolfpants [17k]
When Draco returns to the UK after two decades of building his career as an internationally-renowned artist to look after his ailing, estranged father, he crosses paths with his former flame, Harry Potter, in the most unexpected way.
The Unplottable Time Conundrum by @writcraft [45k]
When the past starts bleeding into the present at Grimmauld Place, an old academic article pulls Draco Malfoy out of his life of luxury. Haunted by the memory of a fleeting post-war kiss and thrust into the ghostly spaces inhabited by Unspeakable Harry Potter, Draco’s easy life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.
we have heard on high by @oflights [34k]
Reeling from the fallout of a bad breakup, Harry decides to find out who his soulmate is. The bad news: it's Draco Malfoy. The good news: Malfoy doesn't seem to know they're soulmates. The worst news: Harry might be falling for him anyway.
I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

Hello !!! I LOVE your reclists and was wondering if you have something with harry/cedric (or someone else) but drarry being endgame?
🫠
Hi there! I don’t think I’ve read any Harry/Cedric recently but here are some fics where Harry has past relationships with other people:
When It Returns by academicdisaster (M, 7.5k)
Harry's husband is dead, and Malfoy is the only one who gets it. Or, the one where they drink at a straight man pub, renovate a house, and learn how to find joy again.
A Little Perseverance by Writcraft (E, 19k)
Harry’s wand is dying and Draco’s flirtation with a magical matchmaking service is causing him no end of trouble. When Harry turns up at Draco’s shop looking for help, everything gets a lot more complicated.
Forever Was a Lie by bluefay (E, 22k)
After breaking up with Charlie, Harry heads to Rome for Christmas to search for answers to a previous heartbreak. What he doesn’t expect is for Draco, the man who broke his heart five years ago, to be running the bed and breakfast he’s staying at.
Historians by oknowkiss (E, 30k)
It’s the Dumbledore’s Army Reunion Holiday, and Harry’s found himself in hot water with his friends once again, after telling them he has a boyfriend he definitely does not have. In an attempt to fix things, he’s made it his colleague on Level Nine, Draco Malfoy’s problem too. Featuring a ski chalet in Switzerland, a pair of bunk beds, and an agreement that should’ve been simple, were it not for all the bloody feelings getting in the way.
The Ghosts of Hogwarts Past by Writcraft (E, 30k)
Draco has hardly had time to bask in his promotion to Head of Slytherin House when he gets news of Harry Potter’s return to Hogwarts. With his increased workload, the reappearance of the ex he never got over, the ghost that won’t let him sleep, and some curious coded diaries, it’s shaping up to be a hell of a year.
This is Never Happening Again by hpleems (M, 32k)
Harry and Malfoy don't get along any better than they used to, but Harry can't get enough of their secret hookups, and he can't seem to figure out anything else in his life, either. He's looking forward to Christmas break so he can clear his head...but fate has other plans.
The Miseducation of Draco Malfoy by magpie_fngrl (E, 37.5k)
Zacharias Smith writes a tell-all about the D.A. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are not happy about it.
Going Once, Going Twice by VivacissimoVoce (M, 39k) - past Harry/Cedric
Draco Malfoy has been missing for two years. Now the Malfoy estate is going up for auction, and Harry decides it’s time to find out what happened to his former school rival.
dirtynumbangelboy by magpie_fngrl (E, 39k)
After Harry’s unfortunate encounter with his ex, Draco Malfoy makes him a proposition. Draco wants his parents to stop matchmaking him and Harry wants to make his ex jealous. All they need to do is simply pretend they’re in love. Problem is… Draco already is.
Shine On, You Crazy Diamond by lagerlout (E, 42k)
Harry has probably always wanted Draco, it just took him a few years to figure that out. A story about the joy of discovering exactly who you are and how easy it can be once you do.
Nights With You by The_Sinking_Ship (E, 58k)
Draco is mortified when moments prior to departing for the most anticipated destination wedding of the year, he is cruelly dumped. But when he learns that Harry Potter has, at long last, split with his horrible boyfriend, Draco is certain his luck has changed. Never a man to squander an opportunity for revenge (and what would probably be a spectacular shag), Draco vows to make Potter his for the weekend. Now all Draco has to do is convince him.
Home Truths by skeptique (E, 67k)
In the off-season Harry decided to fix up Grimmauld Place and found that Draco Malfoy was the only person who could help him. A demanding career and unrelenting press scrutiny were enough to deal with before Harry added a house with a mind of its own, family history, and a tense, flirty, complicated relationship with his childhood nemesis to the mix.
Such Great Heights by aideomai (E, 93k)
Draco Malfoy, wide-eyed and pale and in a decidedly ragged shirt, was crouched next to the pile of whatever the dragon had been eating. Harry threw himself to a halt and yelled, “Merlin, how many times do I have to save your life?”
Make This Leap by oflights (M, 118k)
Harry owns a struggling restaurant which is running out of money, and his Head Chef has just handed in notice. He's at a bit of a loss as to what to do until Narcissa Malfoy presents an obvious solution: bring in Draco Malfoy as Chef and part owner. Harry does.
By the Grace by lettered (T, 140k)
Harry is an Auror instructor. Malfoy wants to be an Auror.
Lost In Your Arms by Femme (E, 257k)
Three months after their brief encounter, Draco has almost forgotten about Potter--or so he tells himself. Then a Dark wizard shows up on the Auror radar and all hell breaks loose. Draco will have to choose between everything he holds dear--everything he's worked so hard for--and a few stolen moments of passion with a certain green-eyed Inspector, once his sworn enemy and now something rather different entirely. He'll make the right choice, won't he?

Wireless recs
Reveals for @hd-wireless are here! There were so many incredible works, and I had the absolute pleasure to help alpha or beta some of them. Here are those fics, in no particular order (plus a smol self rec of my own submission at the end 😊)! Go check them out and leave some love for these wonderful writers 💖
Closer by @pennygalleon (M, 5150)
All who know them are convinced that Harry and Draco are a couple.
But that's just ridiculous.
Wild Things by @coffeedrgn87 (E, 118836)
Forced to return to Malfoy Manor, Draco finds himself surrounded by an unfamiliar ancestral home, strange occurrences that spook his beloved horse, and one weirdly dressed Head Auror, who won't leave until Draco no longer wants him to leave.
An Emerald In The Sky by @corvuscrowned (M, 6670)
The hardest part about shagging an Unspeakable is that they’re not allowed to speak of anything. All Draco knows is that Harry works in Time. Harry works in Time, and while he’s out there in all of that time, it is as unforgiving to him as it is to anyone.
Somewhere along the way, Draco realizes he's been thinking in lines, when he should have been thinking in circles.
The Island Assignment by @makeitp1nk (E, 10468)
International Auror Harry Potter is sent on assignment to Yonaguni, known as the Island of Women, to investigate the disappearance of men set on visiting its shores. Will he survive where other men have perished? Or will a figure from his past change everything?
For prompt: Yonaguni by Bad Bunny
In Free Fall by @kbrick (E, 81175)
Draco Malfoy is a serious university student whose idea of a good time is translating Ancient Greek texts and having game night with his small circle of friends.
Harry Potter is a hard-partying adrenaline junkie who’s happiest when he’s leaping from an airplane or hurtling over a waterfall in a kayak.
They have nothing in common.
But when they reconnect in the Muggle world, curiosity prompts them to strike up a deal. Draco will show Harry what it's like to be a swotty overachiever and Harry will show Draco what it's like to live life dangerously. It'll be fun, and really, what's the worst that could happen? It's not like Draco's going to fall in love with the guy or anything.
Everything We Have by @thesleepiesthufflepuff (E, 5034)
When Ron leaves the Horcrux hunt and Hermione goes after him, Harry finds solace in Malfoy, the fourth member of their party. Feeling broken and uncertain as they wait on a riverbank in Wales, together they find that some things are worth the risk.
[podfic] Drive a Little Slower by @crazybutgood (G, 13 min 20s)
He silently willed Harry to drive a little slower. To let him pretend a little longer.
A podfic of bluefay's fic.

Week 22, short stories, part one.
Head over heals by derekmaliknurse
Rated T. 21 k. Drarry
Harry and Draco are fakedating because they wanted free wedding cake.
Poor Unfortunate Souls by doubleapple
Rated E. 20 k. Hinny and Drarry
Harry and ginny are married but their sexlife needs some help. Harry goes to Draco for a sexpotion.

Harry opens a magical bookstore right next to Draco’s sweet shop. Harry want nothing to do with Draco but his shop has other ideas.
Third chapter of Welcome to Aphrodite by @de-sire-blog and @rhabarberjunge
Rated E. WIP. Wolfstar
Aphrodite is a exclusive adult-only club for anyone who is looking for a sinful adventure. No one knows that Remus works there. No one knows that Sirius visits the club. No one in Aphrodite is recognizable to each other.
So here’s the thing, I rarely read wips and will almost never recommend them. This is one of the few exceptions that I’m patient enough to wait for, and it’s so worth the wait. The chapters so far are so good and I love this storyline.
A Supplementary Story by @elixirsoflife ♥️
Rated T. 3 k. Wolfstar
Remus gets attacked by a vampire but somehow they become friends instead.
Blind and Deaf by @the-mouse-in-a-jumper ♥️
Rated E. 18 k. Wolfstar
Remus and Sirius keeps hooking up while on dates with other people.
Nearly There by bluefay

The Coldest of Days
by @thesleepiesthufflepuff
54,683 (E)
Inspired by December Never Felt So Wrong (50K | E) by @maesterchill
At thirty-one, Harry Potter finally has it all: four incredible children, a naughty Niffler named Penny, and a brilliant boyfriend who has managed to fill the hole in his heart. But because Harry is Harry, chaos is bound to follow. On a cold December morning, Draco wakes up with no memory of the war, his children, or his life with Harry. That, and he’s insisting that he’s been thrown fifteen years into the future.
________________________________
Author's Note: First and foremost, I need to thank Maesterchill for creating December Never Felt So Wrong. Maester, your story has been such a source of comfort and joy for me throughout the last year, and I'm so honored that I was able to remix it. You brought to life my favorite versions of Harry, Draco, and their cheeky children, and I hope I did them justice. Second of all, thank you to my alpha reader/cheerleader E and my beta reader C! I couldn't have done this without either of you 💜 Lastly, thank you to the HD Remix mods for running such a fantastic fest! It should also be noted that this fic includes aging-up. Although Draco is physically in his thirties, he is mentally sixteen and adapting to life in the present while he experiences amnesia. Please make sure that this isn't an issue for you before reading 💖
________________________________
Mod Note: While we would always encourage reading the fic which inspired a remix, you shouldn't feel you have to do so. It's OK to just dive straight into the remix!

Hi, the fic I am looking for is on AO3 , Drarry.
Harry returns Draco’s wand. But it it will not work for him, so Harry offers to teach Draco wandless magic. Harry lives in a cottage in the country and drives, I think it is a little orange car. When Draco visits he flies his broom. There is a garden party, Pansy and Blaise tease Draco. After several drives in Harry’s car they are falling for each other. Harry tells Draco about his aunt and uncle. They watch movies and eat pizza.
This is soft and the imagery created by the writer grabbed me.
Thank you for your help looking for this fic.
We believe you are looking for For the Thousandth Time by bluefay, which has been deleted. Sorry!

Fic Recs Wrap Up - July 2022
On a Clear Day by Saras_Girl
Draco Malfoy is waiting for his real life to begin, and it appears that he’s not the only one. Coffee, charity, and the wisdom of the elderly. Rec Post
On the Last Day by trishjames @thusspoketrish
Draco is still mourning the recent loss of his mother when the Wizarding World is struck with the tragic news of Harry Potter’s untimely death. It’s just his luck that Potter not only comes back as a ghost, but seems intent on haunting Draco as he’s the only one that can see him. It’s a race against time to retrace the last few days of Potter’s life in order to find his body before he’s lost to the living or spiritual realm forever. On their journey, they’ll uncover secrets, betrayals, and a horrific truth that will disrupt both the living and the dead. Rec Post
To Be Out of Your Own (and consumed by another) by Cassiara @cassiaratheslytherpuff
By now even Harry recognises the pattern; he’d be an idiot not to. He’ll have sex, and in the moment it’ll be amazing. In the moment he simply is, he feels without thinking. Good, bad, pleasure and pain, he can just let go and feel because he isn’t the one in charge. Then he wakes up the next morning feeling disgusting and worthless and swears to never do it again. Still, it helps him forget about his stress, his anxiety and his hopeless crush on his Auror partner so he keeps going back. Rec Post
Muggle Magic by Aelys_Althea @aelysalthea
When Voldemort came for Harry, Lily took a stand. This time, Voldemort was defeated. But not enough for the Potters. Leaving the Wizarding world behind them, Harry is raised a Muggle without any knowledge of the magic. Not of the real kind, anyway. But magic always finds a way, and in his final year of high school Harry is introduced to a school of unexpected and unfamiliar people. Different people. Interesting people. And one person in particular that managed to draw a little more interest than the rest. Rec Post
The Way We Wind by bluefay  @thesleepiesthufflepuff
After the war, Harry’s life falls to shambles. Each day revolves around an intense battle with his mental health, and there’s nothing that Ron or Hermione can do to help him. That is, until Hermione teaches Harry how to knit. Fast forward five years, and Harry is the proud owner of a renowned knitting shop in Diagon Alley, The Whomping Willow Woolery. Christmas season is upon him, and the shop is busier than ever. So, is it really a surprise that Draco Malfoy wanders in looking for a gift for his mother? Cue awkward meetings, fluffy knitting lessons, a truly horrible scarf, a cat named Stockinette who is readily obsessed with Draco, and falling in love with one’s worst enemy. Rec Post
Prats, Parcels, and Parseltongue by ronbinary (bisexualronaldweasley)  @ronbinary
Harry is the Muggle world’s first snake-only veterinarian. Life is good, and calm, for once. Until Draco Malfoy shows up with a snake. And then another. And then he won’t stop coming in. Rec Post
Doing the Lambeth Walk by blamebrampton @blamebrampton
There are only three traditional choices for the cashed-up hero after victory. Harry Potter is too young to settle down and provide the wizarding world with a happy ending, and has too acute a sense of humour to spiral downwards into a spectacular flame-out. That leaves a life of good works. Choosing to lead it in Muggle Brixton comes with its own set of challenges, including Malfoys in the biscuit aisle. Rec Post
Love All Lovely by shealwaysreads (onereader) @shealwaysreads
Draco comes home for Christmas, and discovers that sharing is the best way of celebrating old traditions, and new ones too. Rec Post
Here are a few more fics I've read recently that y'all might like to check out as well! (ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧
Tumblr media
Tiny Home by wolfpants @wolfpants
The last two people Draco expects to find chopping wood on his property are Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter.
But there they are.
--
Harry and Ron left the Aurors years ago to travel the world and make up for lost time. When they finally decide to settle roots back in England, together, building a tiny home in the Lake District by hand seems like the perfect plan. What they don't realise is that Draco Malfoy already lives on the plot of land that they choose to build on.
A story about years of feelings, about weaving lives in and around each other, and about finding a place safe enough to call home.
Secret Love Song by Writcraft @writcraft
If there's one thing Draco's certain about, it's that Harry Potter's hiding something. When he gets to the bottom of Harry's closely guarded secret, a flippant solution brings them closer together and forces Harry to confront his past.
Back Where We Began by Cassiara @cassiaratheslytherpuff
Harry has to go back to Hogwarts to get his NEWTs, and being well into his twenties he figures the course will pass without too much trouble. Enter Snape’s old Potions book, a bonding spell, and Draco Malfoy.
Like Diamonds We Are Cut With Our Own Dust by raitala @raitala
Draco has borne the mark of the Dark Lord for over ten years. It is familiar to him, but he pays the price for it every day, and Harry has noticed.
Fearful Trill by Vukovich @vukovich
Harry should have come out and met someone when he was younger. He should have seen a doctor about the pain in his hip while youth was still on his side. Now, he's made his peace with dying young, but maybe not with dying alone.
Draco should have got the Kiss. He should have died in Azkaban decades ago. Instead, guards throw him in a Ministry lift with a dying man who could stand to live a little.
Unexpectancy (Into you) by PollyWeasley @polly-weasley
Draco supposed that starting Eighth Year in Hogwarts fucking Harry Potter was a good start. Both of them were in the closet, for a lack of better words, and both of them were having fun with each other, no bonds attached, no uncomfortable talks, no need to tell their friends whatsoever. It was good to both of them, especially when you considered that the Wizarding World was stupidly ignorant and homophobic, and Draco was already suffering enough because he looked like he was gay. It was better just to keep it a secret. But when Draco suddenly finds out he ended up pregnant of Potter’s child, there was nothing he could do except face the world and reveal his secret. Would Potter accept to reveal his, too, for the sake of this new life?

Draco sends a gift to Potter and finds himself in a difficult but erotic position.
you look so fine by michi_thekiller
In which Draco is a Veela and Harry is his mate. Dark!Humor or Crack!Horror, you decide.
"When Draco Malfoy turned 16 years old, he thought he’d make a night of it. He went to a club, met a bloke, and then promptly took himself next door pay-by-the-hour hotel, determined to get the most bang for the Galleon, in a manner of speaking.
Not even one full Galleon into it, Draco Malfoy lost his virginity.
It all went just how he’d always imagined it, and it was, all in all, a bloody good time.
Waking up the next morning, however, next to a bloody ribcage and a man’s intestines strewn all over the bed like thick wet streamers - that was a bloody bad time."

Today’s @thesleepiesthufflepuff‘s birthday, so to celebrate this lovely person, I’d like to share five of my favorite Bluefay fics.  Each of Fay’s fics have this soft, romantic feeling to them that leave me with a warm heart after each read.  I hope you’ll enjoy some of these wonderful fics and pieces of art!
🧶 The Way We Wind  { Drarry | E | 2020 | 47k }
After the war, Harry’s life falls to shambles. Each day revolves around an intense battle with his mental health, and there’s nothing that Ron or Hermione can do to help him. That is, until Hermione teaches Harry how to knit. Fast forward five years, and Harry is the proud owner of a renowned knitting shop in Diagon Alley, The Whomping Willow Woolery. Christmas season is upon him, and the shop is busier than ever. So, is it really a surprise that Draco Malfoy wanders in looking for a gift for his mother? Cue awkward meetings, fluffy knitting lessons, a truly horrible scarf, a cat named Stockinette who is readily obsessed with Draco, and falling in love with one’s worst enemy.
TWWW is a soft, lovely, and romantic fic that is all about healing and falling in love.  As Draco begins to heal and learn to knit, he finds so much joy and care in Harry’s shop and among his friends.  Harry, Ron, and Hermione have honest and direct conversations about mental health that feel genuine and beautiful.  Plus: a small kitten and all the plush knitwear you can imagine. You’ll fall in love too as you read along. 
🚗 Through the Night { Linny | T | 2021 | 3k }
Ginny tells herself that she's content with the way things are. Luna proves her otherwise.
Luna was softly humming along, and Ginny drank in the sound, not wanting the moment to end. If it was up to her, they would drive through the night, not stopping until they reached the edge of the world.
This fic feels so gentle.  Ginny is playing with the Holyhead Harpies, the loud and boisterous world of Quidditch and Luna is off doing her peaceful thing on her own on the edges of town. This is a delicate and at times painful telling of past trauma and how we can find love and beauty even as we keep going through it.  
💐 Nothing More Than That { Drarry | G | 2021 | 1k }
Harry goes to a florist on New Year’s Day to buy a bouquet for Molly. He leaves with an unexpected date.
“Nothing more than that” is exactly what Harry wants.  This lovely slice of life/getting together ficlet brings a smile to my face every time I reread it.  Fay has created a lovely little florist shop, and in it is the handsome florist Draco Malfoy and the tentative customer Harry.  Happy New Years to us, indeed, and may 2021 have some of the cheer this fic brings.
🧵 Long Tale Cast On { Wolfstar | T | 2019 | 25k }
When Sirius and Lily decide to start a craft night in the yarn store in an effort to draw in a younger crowd, they look to the bar across the street to provide refreshments. Sirius is taken with bar owner Remus from the start, but neither James nor Lily's encouragement is enough to bridge the chronic pain and anxiety that conspire to keep them apart. With time, effort, and some terrible knitting, Sirius and Remus eventually find that life has a strange way of working out.
"The thing you need to understand about Sirius is that he's very worried about making mistakes, about getting things wrong. When he's talking about knitting he's confident in his skills, so it comes easily. When he's talking to people about other things, especially with people that matter to him." Here she taps Remus' arm just lightly again. "His fear gets the better of him."
Queer joy, found family, and deep love are key to Long Tale Cast On.  With a dear Sirius who is effusive and anxious and incredibly kind and a Remus who is funny and charming, and Lily who is so loving, and Dorcas and Marlene (yes, Dorlene!!)... This fic is one that will make you fall in love with Wolfstar all over, and with what it means to care for one another even with all the hard stuff.  An iconic Bluefay fic!
📚 H. J. Granger’s Book Emporium  { Hermione | G | 2021 | Art }
Hermione buys a bookshop after the war.
As though Fay wasn’t already impressive enough with her writing, she has also offered us this lovely illustration.  Featuring a big and well-loved Crookshanks, a joyful Hermione, and the AU I didn’t know I needed, this piece is one that will certainly make you smile.

Hi Liv! 1, 6, and 9 for the 3 asks, please! 💖
Thank you so much Fay darling!
1. 3 things I wish for:
- more free time to read and rec fic :(
- finding a job with a decent pay without the stress I’m currently dealing with
- saving enough money to buy a house soon
6. 3 characters that inspire me:
Ohh quite a few! I do love myself a superhero movie but I’m often inspired by the “regular guy” type:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Leslie is such a fun, charming and relatable character. I love her passion and enthusiasm, her loyalty to her friends, her competence and commitment to what she does, and her positive vibes in general. She’s a great leader and an attentive and present friend. Her friendship with Ron, despite their obvious differences, is one of the most inspiring relationships I’ve ever seen in a show, and my favourite thing about P&R.
2. Joe is the ultimate “regular guy”: talented and passionate, he could have become a big star but chose another path, one that people will often consider a “waste of talent”. But his passion for music and his appreciation for the simple things in life made such a big difference on other people’s lives, especially the kids he taught, and I think that’s really moving.
3. No explanations needed, I think everyone who’s read the books or watched the movies agrees Sam is the true hero of LOTR. His devotion to Frodo and his modesty make him such a lovable character. I wish we all could have a Samwise, the Brave beside us!
9. 3 things I like doing on a rainy day:
- reading fic curled up in bed with my 🐶
- treating myself with any kind of comfort food: soup, pizza, hot chocolate, etc
- movie/tv show marathon!
