Fanart Advent Calendar: Day 18!
For Heal Thyself, by @astolat. An amazing Draco-centric fic, in which he becomes a healer. I loved this story, Draco's characterization, his journey, how he changed and how he did not.
This piece is part of a personal challenge: an advent calendar featuring one fanart a day for some of my favourite fics, from the 1st of December to the 24th.

12. Drunken Confessions
by @peachydreamxx
The clock strikes midnight, and the bar is still in full swing. Harry is too, apparently. Flailing his arms around, too lost in the music from the jukebox to care about the looks he’s getting from around the crowded room. 
“Does your boyfriend always dance like a fool?” Pansy eyes intently over the rim of her wine glass, leaning into Draco’s shoulder. 
“Sadly, yes.” Draco says, taking another much-needed swig of firewhiskey. 
Harry breaks from the crowd and stumbles over, almost meeting Draco’s feet as he’s caught in his boyfriend's arms and guided into a nearby chair. “Someone’s been on the port, I see.” 
Harry hums, smiling drunkenly. “I really, really like you, Draco.” 
“Well that’s a relief considering we live together.” 
“I want you to be my boyfriend.” Harry slurs. 
Pansy snorts into her wine glass and shakes her head, her laughter trailing off as she leaves the two lovebirds to themselves. 
“Do you really?” Draco asks, hooking a brow. “I’m not so sure about that.” 
“But we’d be so good together!” Harry protests, head lolling back. 
Draco sighs, plucks the half-empty glass from Harry’s grip and sets it down out of reach. “Hm, I’m not sure drunken idiots are my type.” 
Harry slumps against Draco’s neck, muttering something incoherent under his breath as Draco looks out across the party, at the sympathetic glances from friends before he hoists Harry back up and meets his glazed-over eyes. 
“I have a confession.” Harry says, peering side to side as Draco leans in, preparing himself for some drunken nonsense. “When you showed up to the Winter Ball the year before we dated, I thought you looked so hot in your three-piece emerald suit that I ran to the bathroom to scream into my fist. Ron can confirm that too.” 
Draco’s almost sprays firewhiskey over both of them. “I’m sorry—” he clears his throat and stares at Harry in a state of adorned surprise, “Weren’t you telling everyone that you thought I was an insufferable git during that night?” 
“It was a cover for the fact that I was dying inside.” Harry says, face flushed the most radiant pink. “I cried a little bit too. No one is allowed to be that fucking gorgeous.”
Draco laughs, loud enough to turn heads. He wraps his hand around Harry’s neck and kisses his forehead. “You’re the biggest fool, Harry Potter, and for the record, I couldn’t take my eyes off of you either. I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that Pansy called me a ‘pining mess’.”
Harry chuckles, lashes flitting softly as the alcohol continues to consume him. “I went home that evening and decided I had to do something about my feelings,” he goes on, “I may have also dealt with certain other feelings in the sanctity of my bedroom.”
“Oh, did you now?” Draco cocks his brow, teeming with pride. “How about I take your drunk arse home and you can show me just how you dealt with those feelings of yours."

Day 1: Christmas tree
Harry looked at the mess inside his living room. Cardboard boxes on the ground, opened with shining christmas baubles and garlands. It was something he always loved to do on the first day of December; decorating the Christmas tree. 
A new tradition that Draco and he started to do, not without an argument, when they first lived together, three years ago. Harry loved Christmas and wanted to decorate as soon as possible but Draco didn't agree. Christmas was, and will be only, in December. 
Harry watched Draco being concentrating, flicking his wand firmly to put all the golden and red baubles on the black tree. 
"The Slytherin tree is in our bedroom this year," Draco said without turning around, clearly feeling his boyfriend's presence. 
"Okay." Harry hummed as he walked toward him. "You're the one who wanted two trees."
"It's not fair that only one house was represented." Draco huffed. 
Harry scooped his arms around Draco's waist and hugged him from behind, contemplating the golden light lighting the tree. 
"You're doing great." He said before he kissed Draco's cheek and pulled out the hug. With a flick of his own wand, he opened another box and started putting Christmas things all around the house.
Thank you @peachydreamxx for this banner and project, I can't wait to share it all ❤️

I hope you're all doing well and fine and I send lots of love especially for those who struggle in a way or another during the holidays. 💖
Personally I feel a bit indifferent about the holidays; not that many good memories of them, and I’m used to work my way through Christmas (I love the vibes at work on Christmas). This is the first Christmas in over 10 years I’m not with the meemaws and peepaws at work and I don’t know what am I supposed to doooo. Probably read some tooth-rotting holiday fluff laced with some festive smut while downing some glögi, so here we go. Some of these are from 25 days of harry and draco, run don’t walk to check out this year’s (and the previous!) advent fics. So cute, so good. Here's some of my favorites:
The best Christmas he ever had by @gnarf ❄️ 1,965 words
Christmas had never been less appealing to him than this year. That was until Arthur Weasley showed up at his door, dressed as Santa, inviting him to the Burrow.
I'm absolutely weak for the Christmas at the Burrow-trope, and this little story definitely hits all the right boxes. It's warm, adorable, cute, everything you need and more.
be your night by panicparade ❄️ 29,050 words
“Ah, you must be little Teddy Lupin!” Harry frowns, that voice sounds oddly familiar. Shaking himself he turns to face the newcomer, plastering a smile on his face that promptly disappears as he takes in the man in front of him. “Malfoy?” alternatively, The one where Draco Malfoy is a kindergarten teacher and Harry definitely needs to keep an eye on him. Closely.
I strongly feel that a fic with some cute Teddy-content never misses. This fic starts in the fall and continues all the way to New Years Eve and has some disgustingly good fluff and domestic vibes. All in all an easy and cozy read for the holiday season.
Changing with the season by @harryromper ❄️ 36,225 words
Harry's determined the first time he hosts the extended Weasley clan for Christmas will be a success. The Grimmauld Place advent calendar has other ideas ... until Draco shows up to help. A 25 Days of Draco and Harry story.
Adorable, warm, funny, very very festive. Definitely hits all the holiday spirit needs.
The Curious Case of the Disappearing Stockings by @thealmostrhetoricalquestion ❄️ 11,549 words
It's Harry's Eighth Year, he's surrounded by Slytherins, and Christmas Stockings are going missing all over Hogwarts. At the risk of being mocked ruthlessly, Harry won't verbally declare that Malfoy probably has something to do with it, but... well, Malfoy definitely has something to do with it.
This was such a fun little fic. The dynamics between Harry and the Slytherins were amazing, and the stocking fiasco was just too adorable. And there's just something about the holidays in Hogwarts for me personally. Very sweet and endearing.
Eight Drarry Nights-series by @phoebe-delia ❄️ 9 works, 6078 words in total
This is a series of fics based on prompts given to me on Tumblr, one for each night of Hanukkah! The prompts aren't all and don't have to be related to Hanukkah and/or Judaism; some are and some aren't.
This is the perfect series to read at bedtime, having some fuzzy socks on, a warm blanket up to your ears and snow falling silently outside. Like said in the description, all of the little fics are not festive but I think the big picture gives all the holiday vibes I'm craving for.
Forever Was a Lie by @thesleepiesthufflepuff & art by dustmouth ❄️ 22,001 words
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.
Now this is not a traditional holiday fic per se, but a bittersweet, angsty, second chances story that takes place over Christmas in Rome. It has this wistful feel throughout and is right up my alley. I devoured this and it left me feeling all warm and fuzzy in the end. Also the gorgeous art really puts the whole thing together.
The Hogwarts Book of Carols by @p1013 ❄️ 45,991 words
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the place, Not even Kreacher was stirring, too snug in his space; The mantle was empty, not a stocking in sight And Harry had gone to bed for the night; He sat, unhappy, wrapped tight in his bed As visions of loved ones danced in his head; Meanwhile at the Manor, Draco stood in the snow And smoked a cigarette, no light but its glow; Two men, more like boys, distant and sad With only the lonely times that they had. When what to their wondering eyes did appear, But a future so bright, so distant and clear It was just out of reach, a handsbreadth away Unless they both made a choice on this day To take what they wanted, perhaps with a shove Before falling, falling, falling in love.
I felt actual physical pain reading this, watching the years go by and Christmases to pass. But it was a good pain, the kind I crave for especially at this time of year. Slowest of slow burns, endearing, touching and funny friends to lovers holiday excursion. Loved this.
How to Handle Hannukah by Blowfish_Diaries ❄️ 10,445 words
Harry and Draco have decided to cohabitate. And to throw a Hannukah party. Enter latkes, spreadsheets, and Pansy beating everyone at dreidel. This is a fluffy, domestic fic to celebrate the holiday season and add another chapter to the "How to Handle a Matzo Ball Soup Emergency" series.
This is a sequel to the amazing "How to Handle a Matzo Ball Soup Emergency" and one of my absolute favorites along with the first part. I highly recommend to read the first part, but I think this works as a standalone aswell. It's incredibly well-written with fluff to die for and some class a smut, everything you need for the holiday season, even though today the 15th of December I’m posting this is the last day of Hanukkah. A definite must-read along with the first part.
Love, Actually, is All Around by @punk-rock-yuppie ❄️ 9,975 words
"General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed—but I don't see that—seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified, or newsworthy—but it's always there." —Love Actually, 2003 It's Christmastime, and Harry has just started as the new Minister of Magic. It just so happens that Draco works in his office as well, a holdover from Kingsley's tenure. Naturally, love is in the air.
Now hold up. Love Actually is one of my favorite movies and oh how I love this fic. Adorable and cute packed with holiday vibes.
A Melody of You & Me by @academicdisasterfic ❄️ 64,838 words
Draco Malfoy has a Christmas choir competition to win, and Harry Potter has an orphanage that needs funding. When Luna Lovegood intervenes, they agree to help each other out: Harry will join the choir if Draco chooses to sponsor his charity. But agreeing to work together also means getting to know each other again - in new and unexpected ways. Ft. a chaotic festive choir, scheming friends, a healthy dose of mental health issues, one very irritating ex, and boys learning how to love and be loved.
I’m swooning over this fic. It has the perfect ratio of angst, fluff, hurt, comfort, smut and holiday vibes. It made me laugh, it made me cry. It's so incredibly lovely and definitely a must-read every holiday season.
My True Love Gave to Me (Six Jars of Chutney) by @goldentruth813 ❄️ 12,311 words
On his first post-divorce Christmas Eve without his children, Harry goes to Marks & Spencer hoping to find a bit of his past; what he finds instead is a future.
What got to me most in this fic was that little part in the beginning about Harry's trip to London as a kid with Petunia. It really punched me in the gut and got me tearing up. The whole story was sweet and Harry's thoughts and feelings were written out so beautifully.
The Red Jumper by toomuchplor ❄️ 14,907 words
Draco's plans for Christmas Eve are as follows: 1 - Sleep as long as possible 2 - Have sex 3 - Drink wine 4 - Eat too much food 5 - Repeat above It’s just gone eight in the morning when Harry begins to derail Draco’s plans. In which Draco has his first Christmas with Harry, Ginny has (more) news, Albus gets a girlfriend, Scorpius gets in a strop, Lily is a horrible teen, James is unexpectedly an adult, and Harry wears a red Christmas jumper that may once have belonged to Godric Gryffindor, judging by its appearance.
I love this so much. Made me feel so safe and warm and festive, a certified holiday vibe. All the coziness you need this time of year in a pretty little package.
Wrapped by @fluxweeed ❄️ 10,313 words
“Harry,” Draco said slowly. “You understand how Christmas presents work, don’t you?” Harry attempted a smile. “Well, I thought I did until about ten minutes ago.”
The mother of all holiday smut 😌
You Make It Feel Like Christmas by gglow ❄️ 52,163 words
At thirty years old, Draco Malfoy has successfully obtained a reputable degree in Ancient Languages, has proceeded to shut himself into the basement of London Library as their Head of Archives, and is wilfully nursing a problematic relationship with a man Blaise eloquently describes as “a sleazy piece of trash”. So yes, he’s got it all worked out, ta ever so. It’s only too bad that when Harry Potter—the youngest Head Auror in a century—happens to need Draco’s help with a case, a string of encounters ensues that turn Draco’s pre-perceptions of him on their head. To make matters even worse, Potter brings Draco tea, and carries his bags, and says things that are much too straightforward for comfort. And if it makes Draco question why he ever hated the speccy git in the first place, well, that’s no one else’s business but Draco’s… right? Will flying South for Christmas spare Draco from heartache? And does it make sense to salvage the dwindling fire with his elusive beau, or will the kindle of a new flame give Christmas a whole new meaning?
This is the epitome of a holiday fic. ALL the feels and more. I was grinning from ear to ear reading this. The flirting!!! Love love love.

Summary:
A Family Man AU. In the year 2000, Harry left Draco behind in London, intent on America and Quidditch fame and never looked back. Thirteen years later, Harry gets the opportunity to see what his life could have been like, had his life unravelled in a different way. Nothing in Harry’s world is the same, but Harry soon comes to realise that fatherhood, marriage and the biggest, laziest Crup in Hogsmeade add to up a life he enjoys more than he could ever have imagined.
Excerpt:
“I have to go,” Harry said, checking his International Floo ticket for the hundredth time. Unbuttoning his satchel, he placed it inside, beside his passport and an envelope, emblazoned with Boston Basilisk insignia. “They want me to play. They want me up in the sky. You know that I can’t sit in the stands watching, Draco.”
Draco’s brow furrowed. This wasn’t the first time they’d had this conversion. They’d argued, deliberated and debated Harry’s Basilisk loan for weeks. “You could fly easily enough in England,” Draco answered. “There are a dozen teams who’d sign you. If they only knew you were willing.”
Setting his satchel on the floor, Harry moved in front of his boyfriend. Draco was perched on the edge of his bed, watching Harry pack up his last few belongings.
Bringing his hand up, Harry carded it through Draco’s impossibly silky hair, relishing how soft the stands were between his fingers.
Gently, Harry raised Draco’s chin. His lover’s eyes were red-rimmed yet defiantly tearless. They’d done their crying last night, wrapped in each other’s arms.
“They’d only let me fly because of the war,” Harry said, “because I was the Chosen One. They’d pick me for Seeker because they felt they ought to. You know I couldn't stand that. I have to prove myself and get to the top on my own terms. Make them forget the person I was.”
“They’ll never forget. You saved our sodding world. Those teams would be lucky to have you,” Draco answered, like he had a million times before. He glanced at the satchel. “But why America? It’s so bloody far away.” He brought his gaze back up to meet Harry’s. “Not to mention, it's for a whole year. We’ve only just found each other. Now you’re leaving.”
The same paroxysm of remorse that Harry always felt when Draco mentioned the length of his Basilisk contact made his stomach flip over.
He swallowed the sensation. A year wasn’t anything, not in the whole scheme of a lifetime.
“You’ll be so busy that you’ll hardly notice that I’ve gone,” Harry told Draco, voice certain. “You’ve hardly got a spare minute as it is. The apprenticeship in the Wizengamot Law Office will keep you hard at it. Then you’ve got Pansy, Theo, Blaise, and your mum demanding your time. A year is nothing. Besides,” Harry said, leaning over to press a kiss onto the crown of Draco’s head, “I’d still love you if I was away for a decade.”
“Don’t you dare,” Draco huffed, tipping his head back so that he was close enough for Harry to kiss. "I'd hunt you down. I'd bring you back home."
Draco’s lips were soft beneath his, pliable and welcoming, and Harry had to wrench himself away. Once they began to kiss, it was difficult to stop, and he had already nearly procrastinated their parting to the point of catastrophe.
As they broke their kiss, Draco seized his hand. “Stay,” he said. “Fly for the Wasps or even the sodding Magpies if you must. Just, please. Don’t take that Portkey, Harry. Don’t go.”
Harry knew that it took a lot for Draco to plead, but it really was too late. It was four pm now, and his Floo left in an hour. His clothes, his broomstick, and everything he’d need in the next twelve months had already been Reducio’d and sent ahead to Boston. Bradley Thorpe, Head Coach of the Basilisks, had already taken out the lease on an apartment for him to live in.
“Draco, love,” Harry began. “We’ve already been through this–"
“I know we have,” Draco answered, “and I know what you’re going to say. That playing Quidditch means the world to you, and that it’s all you’ve ever wanted to do. I’m not trying to stop you. Gods, I’d never do that. I love you too much. And yes, I know that the Basilisks are a great team, and that this is a wonderful opportunity.” He sighed, before pressing his face into the thin cotton tee-shirt where it covered Harry’s belly and dragging in a great lungful of breath. “I just have a horrible feeling. I can’t shake it. If you leave today, and take that Floo, I don’t think you’ll come back.”
That was quite the silliest thing that Harry thought he had ever heard. He knelt down on the thick pile of the carpet and pressed the span of his palms across Draco’s skinny thighs.
“I just so happen to love you too,” Harry said, raising his hand and gesturing to the space between them. “What we’ve got is once-in-a-lifetime. Do you think I’d leave, if I had even the slightest doubt about our future? When I come back, I’m going to tell the Prophet all about us. A big, five-page exposé. Then I’m going to marry you, in front of your mum and every single one of our friends.”
Making a noise that was half a sob and half a laugh, Draco shook his head. “I’ll believe you when the ring is on my finger.”

“Er, hi,” Harry says, feeling a bit stupid. He thrusts the flowers at Draco, hoping that Draco will be distracted by them and maybe not notice how awkward Harry is being. “I got you flowers.”
Draco reaches a shaky hand out and takes them, still looking at Harry with an expression of incredulous disbelief. “Harry.”
“I’m sorry if they’re not the kind you like,” Harry says quickly. “I didn’t - I just saw them while I was out shopping, and I thought you would, er, like them. Maybe.”
Draco’s looking down at the flowers, and he leans forward to smell them, closing his eyes. When he opens them, he sees Harry as if for the first time since he's opened his door, and the expression of astonishment that was on his face previously is quickly tucked away. 
“They’re perfect,” he says gently. “Harry. Thank you,” and he looks at Harry as if he means it.

Sam’s Weekly Wrap Up
Week one is upon us! My Advent Month has been so much fun to do so far, and I can't wait for the rest of it!
The Act of Healing It didn’t take long to realize that it wasn’t normal—that Harry wasn’t normal. That no one else could see the strange lights and dented auras that surrounded everyone. Harry had learned at an early age to hide it, to tell no one else about it. It worked. At least until he encountered a boy in a robe shop with the largest light he’d ever seen.
But what did it mean?
Renatus Reborn “I know Potter,” Draco began, leaning forward slightly. “I wasted six years observing him only for him to die in that forest. I don’t know who you are, but you somehow managed to get inside his body.”
Or the one where the rest of the world believes that Harry Potter came back, alive and whole. But to those that knew him, he didn’t come back at all, for it wasn’t Potter who stood before them. It was someone else.
Predicting the Present Malfoy—of all people—was the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, and Harry didn’t like it. He didn’t like it one bit.
“Professor Malfoy said we’ll be learning the basics on how to cast a Patronus!”
Oh really? That, Harry had to see.
Where to? Date time, only why does Scorpius think he gets to tag along? And is that a suit he's wearing?
Tricks and Giggles Professor Malfoy rarely gave extra credit, the harsh and bitter teacher that he was. So, when it was announced that all they had to do was get his son—Scorpius, who was still a baby—to interact with their Magic, they all assumed it would be a walk in the park.
How hard could it be?
Because it's you 'They are only together because they are soulmates.'
They were so much more than that and it was about time the world realized it. This is a story of how Harry and Draco fell in love and how very little being soulmates had to do with any of it. 
Crude Coffee “—this coffee tastes horrible.”
“Of course it does.” The drawling tone was biting and held derision. “We here at Cup of Crude promise coffee in a timely manner, we never promised that it’ll taste good.”
Harry snorted, unable to help himself.

10. Hungry Harry 🍫
by @peachydreamxx
Draco drifts into the living room, paper in hand, “There’s going to be a winter market in Diagon Alley next week. That sounds fun. D’you fancy going to—” 
Words are stolen by the sight of Harry staring up at him from the sofa, chocolate smeared around his lips and eyes like a disobedient pup. On the coffee table in front of him is the shell of a once-filled advent calendar, now stripped bare, the doors hanging open as it recovers from the raid. 
Draco drops the paper onto the accent table and crosses his arms. “Please tell me you didn’t.” 
Harry’s forced innocent smile answers for him.
“Every single door?” 
Eyes dropping to his lap, Harry nods. 
“Harry!”
“I was hungry!”
“We have food in the kitchen!”
“I was hungry for chocolate!” 
“You’re unbelievable.” Draco rolls his eyes and wanders off, holding back the urge to laugh as he questions his reasoning for loving his boyfriend.

Day 11: Mistletoe
The evening had just started and the group was heading towards a new bar. It was Monday, but Pansy and Ginny wanted to go out for just a few hours with the whole gang again. Luna was talking with Neville about some weird creature, while Ron and Blaise were talking about Hermione and Pansy’s girls night this next weekend. Ginny and Harry obviously talked about Quidditch. They were not in the same team but they always loved discussing their next matches or being nosy about the other ones team. 
“Mistletoe!” Luna’s voice made them all stop just in front of the bar door. “We have to kiss before entering the bar, otherwise nargles will jump on you.” 
After many years, the group learned to just pretend to agree with whatever Luna said from time to time, not really sure if everything was real or not. This time Ginny smiled and walked toward her girlfriend before kissing her passionately. 
“Let’s go guys!” she said before opening the door. “Kiss before being infested!” 
She laughed and then Hermione rolled her eyes. Ron pushed her and kissed her even if Harry knew Hermione didn’t believe in that at all but he could see she enjoyed the little affection either way. Pansy and Blaise kissed at their turn and they laughed before entering the room. 
“I guess I can enter alone, right?” Neville asked, uncertain of what to do.
“Come on Neville, don’t believe her.” Draco said as he walked toward the door. “You won’t be infested by whatever those creatures are.” 
Neville looked unsure once again before quickly jumping through the door. Harry walked without saying anything. He didn’t know what to believe but when he saw that Draco was still waiting under the mistletoe, he knew it wasn’t because of Luna’s warning. 
“You’re too greedy for your own good.” Harry said as he leaned toward his boyfriend. 
“Only because I can’t help but love your taste.” Draco replied before putting his hands around Harry’s neck.
