Wireless fic claim: the eighth sin (E, 17k) by honeybeet

Tags: POV Draco, unreliable narrator, the seven deadly sins, non-linear narrative, magical house arrest, isolation, solitary confinement, ambiguous ending, Master of Death Harry Potter, the Manor as a liminal space, nightmares, grief, loneliness, implied hallucination, falling in love, pining, jealousy, first time, kissing, explicit sexual content, cutting hair, shaving, tenderness, draco wears silver rings, harry in a funeral suit, a picnic in the late autumn sun, touch starved Draco Malfoy, this is a ghost story but it depends who you ask, because it’s also about living

Summary: When Draco is sentenced to five years of house arrest, without magic, alone, the only person to visit him is Potter. But Draco’s beginning to doubt whether Potter is really there at all.

Notes: For @hd-wireless, a gift for @wolfpants based on their prompt, Seven Devils by Florence and the Machine. Thank you to @epitomereally, @the-fools-errand, and @the-starryknight for your eyes on it!

Excerpt (sloth):

Draco’s all too aware of night coming. Of the light fading and welcoming shadows into the room. “When will you go?” he asks.

“In a while.”

“You don’t have any plans?” Draco imagines Potter walking London in the evening, smelling flowers, picking up takeout. He imagines Potter in a sweltering club, bodies everywhere. He imagines night falling and a warm yellow window looking into wherever Granger and Weasley live.

“Yes,” says Potter. Draco focuses on the weight of Potter’s leg on his, fighting the disappointment filling his throat. “To stay for a while. If that’s okay?”

“Oh,” Draco says. “Did you want—?” He’s tired. His nerves are fraying; he doesn’t know if he can hold himself together for more sex.

Potter sighs, chest and stomach deflating. “Would you be alright if we just…” Potter waves a hand in the air, then rests it on top of Draco’s.

“Yes—that’s fine.” It’s an understatement; it’s all Draco wants.

“Sometimes it’s nice,” Potter sighs. “To do nothing.”

Draco does it all the time, so it’s lost a bit of allure. He was raised in a family where children grew up to be adults who did nothing for a living. But it’s different with Potter—with Potter, ‘nothing’ feels significant. Nothing is the most real thing to do. There’s nothing to hide behind—just bodies and air and silence to float in.

“I like doing nothing with you,” Draco says.

@hd-wireless 2023 fic claim: LA, Who Am I to Love You? for @sitp-recs

AO3 // FIC PLAYLIST

Harry’s summer in LA is not going as expected. Pansy Parkinson keeps inviting him to parties in the Hollywood Hills and harassing him to finally go to the physical therapist, Blaise Zabini keeps slipping new strains of his company’s magical weed into Harry’s pockets in hopes of an endorsement, and Draco Malfoy keeps having sex with everyone but Harry.

Liv, there's nothing I can say that everyone hasn't said before: you're such a lovely, kind, supportive part of our fandom and I can't think you enough for everything you do (especially sticking up for my fic while it was still on anon!). I was so so so excited when I saw your prompt — thank you for letting me rhapsodize about magical Los Angeles and also for letting me be horny in your ask box 💕💗💞

This fic took a village & is immeasurably better for all of their feedback: @thehoneybeet, whose essays about how some key scenes should change led to more clarity and kindness in the fic (and who let me steal their words VERBATIM); aulophobia, who tamed my run-on sentences (or at least half of them — blame me for the rest) and britpicked the hell out of this American fic (any Americanisms remaining are my own); @theonetruenim for their enthusiasm and wonderful LA vibes check; and @chaoticbindery for talking with me about Chicano magical traditions and a sensitivity read.

I'm feeling really sappy about this story. I truly love LA and I hope everyone else can see something to love about this illogical and metastatic city in the fic, whether it's the interminable sun and traffic, bougainvillea cascading over a fence, or the smog making the sunsets violent and gorgeous. Thank you to everyone who read it (especially @sitp-recs & @romaine2424 for your recs) — it means the world.

A brief snippet for the * ~ LA V I B E S ~ *

Luna and Neville spend a magical week in LA. Neville works during the day, developing a new strain with Blaise, but Luna is stupendously free. She accompanies Harry to yoga, where she compliments the teacher on her lack of Wrackspurts. Harry’s teacher accepts the compliment graciously and completely seriously. Despite being a Muggle, she is apparently senses when her aura is being declared clear, despite the incomprehensible words Luna uses.

They go to Harry’s favourite juice bar and Luna delights in ordering the oddest-coloured drinks she can: black (charcoal), royal blue (spirulina), hot pink (pitaya), and then green, green, and more green.

He and Luna spend hours outside. They lay on the beach—the first time Harry’s taken his shirt off in front of anyone who’s not a Healer since the bite—and Luna spends hours tracing it gently, completely intent, her nose almost pressed into Harry’s side. Harry dozes, waking up every time she hits somewhere sensitive. Despite applying extensive sunscreen, he somehow acquires a bit of a glow about him. He loves it. Harry, who was always tan in England, had felt positively pale before now in LA. He had been technically darker than Malfoy and Pansy, but his skin didn’t have a healthy flush of recent sun exposure; it looked almost green, olive tones coming out against the gold of Malfoy’s and amber of Pansy’s. Somehow, all the Slytherins have freckles. They no longer look sickly and afraid like at Hogwarts; instead, like they had ripened and melted in the LA sun. When they arrive back at Malfoy’s, Harry likes how Malfoy laughs at both of them, not unkindly, when they immediately demand Sun-Healing Potion.

They walk along the canals of Venice and the tiny alleys, where Luna stops to marvel at pomelos the size of Harry’s head, or brush her fingers through mulberries which stain her hands wine-dark for the rest of the day, or weave a crown of fig leaves.

They wile away the time in Draco’s garden. Butterflies flit around them—Harry’s not sure if they’re even real, given the mild explosions from Draco’s garage, where he’s madly inventing effects. Luna takes time to tell Harry about every plant in the garden, what’s in season, and what Draco has enchanted to bloom despite the heat and the sun: bougainvillea and wisteria and jacaranda and Birds of Paradise and one English tea rose. It’s odd how at-home Harry feels in Malfoy’s back garden—they’ve only just barely become friends—but he does and Malfoy seems to like him there, anyways.

On Thursday evening, after 48 hours of mad plant alchemy between Neville and Blaise, they come home. Neville’s only got one long scratch down his cheek, which is apparently a rousing success for trying to cross marijuana, Gillyweed, and a Venomous Tentacula. The poison is apparently a mild empathogen in small doses, the Gillyweed makes Harry feel as if he’s floating and unexpectedly makes him blow bubbles, and they all lie in the backyard, laughing and dozing and chatting. Bubbles float above them, trapped by the jacaranda: purple and pink and iridescent, shifting in front of Harry’s eyes. Somehow, butterflies are still flitting about the garden; the fairy lights glow above them in the dim of the twilight. A giant purple blossom from the jacaranda drifts down to the top of Malfoy’s head, and Harry can’t stop staring, entranced by how lovely he is, how golden and beautiful. He falls asleep on the cushioned wicker sofa out back that night, Luna curled around Pansy in a chair, and Neville snoring away. Harry wakes up feeling better than he has in a long time.

Luna and Harry go for hikes in the Hollywood Hills: Runyon Canyon, and Cahuenga Peak to the Hollywood Sign, where Harry feels like a tourist for the first time in LA. They even even drive west up into the Santa Monica Mountains, where Harry roasts to a crisp, exposed among the shrub, with the ocean vast and glittering to his left. Luna’s a calming presence in the passenger seat of Harry’s car, humming along in a scattershot, off-key melody to songs she’s never heard before. While they hike, Luna points out a peppercorn tree, crushes the pink berries between her hands and puts them into Harry’s nostrils; he sneezes. She marvels at the wild mustard, coating the hills with yellow sprays of flowers. She stands in front of an agave, blue-green spikes taller than her, with what appeared to be a giant asparagus rising from its center. It must have been thirty feet tall, covered in yellow and red anemones. Luna loves it instantly. She loves the prickly pear too, with their bloody metastatic fruit sprouting off the paddles—Harry finds them frankly unnerving. She finds wild rosemary off the trail, soft and plush; it’s so intensely savory that Harry feels like he’s being punched in the face with a focaccia when he smells it.

Harry had just tolerated LA—it was a means to an end, a long shot to get rid of the wolf. It almost feels like cheating to see it now through Luna’s eyes, just after Parkinson tempts him with a Quidditch offer. Harry feels as if he hasn’t made a real choice in his entire life: his path laid out by Voldemort and Dumbledore from his first birthday; his apathy during Auror training; and finally the bite. He didn’t think he had a real choice in front of him here, either, but now, in the unexpected beauty of LA through Luna’s eyes and generosity of Pansy Parkinson, he does.

Wireless Fic Claim - A Little Bit of You

A huge thank you to the ever incredible @phoebe-delia for being the best alpha/beta/handholder this hedgehog could ever ask for. Thanks also go out to @thesleepiesthufflepuff and @floydig for keeping me going through endless sprints.

As soon as I saw this prompt I knew I was going to write aroace Harry, and this fic exceeded my expectations. This Harry and Draco will live in my heart forever and I'm so excited to be able to share them with you all.

Also, please enjoy this image that I had made before the fic was even written and then at the last minute forgot to add to the fic 😂

Excerpt:

Draco entered his office and shut the door behind him, drowning out his gossiping coworkers. He tried to keep a straight face — honestly, he did — but he couldn’t help the laugh that escaped him at the sight of his Auror partner. 

“It’s really not that bad, Potter.”

“No, you’re right.” Draco quirked a brow at this. When had Harry ever admitted that Draco was right this easily? “It’s so much worse.”

Harry’s forehead was on his desk, arms hanging uselessly by his sides. Draco walked over, setting the mug of tea he had made by Harry’s left ear. 

“Drink up, Potter, we have a case to crack.”

“Right, yeah.” Harry lifted his head, sending a small smile in Draco’s direction. “Thanks, Malfoy.”

Draco had thought that that would be the end of it. Except, of course the Prophet couldn’t leave Harry alone and now that they’d realised that their readers were interested in his dating life it didn’t look like they’d be stopping any time soon. 

“You know,” he said one day, as he watched Harry Incendio the latest batch of owls from secret — and not-so-secret — admirers. “If you didn’t flirt with everyone you grab a pint with this might die down a lot faster.”

Harry looked at him quizzically. “But I don’t flirt with them.”

Draco resisted the urge to roll his eyes skywards. “Potter, what would you call this, then?” He slid across that morning’s paper, a picture of Harry holding Mary from Marketing’s hand across the table. 

“Being friends?”

This time Draco did roll his eyes. “Potter, friends don’t hold hands on a sticky pub table.” He thought back to previous headlines, previous photos. “Or tuck each other’s hair behind their ears or throw their arms around each other’s shoulders.”

Harry cocked his head. “They don’t?”

Draco huffed a laugh. “No, Potter, they don’t. If you want the headlines to stop, I suggest keeping your hands to yourself.”

(you) find me when the lights go down: fic claim for @hd-wireless

1.8k | T | eighth year, late night conversations, depression, hurt/comfort

Harry can hear footsteps on the stairs behind him but doesn't bother turning to look. There's only one person likely to follow him out here at this time of night. "Potter," comes the crisp voice, easily recognisable as Draco. "You do know that most sane people, especially those who spend every waking moment complaining of being cold, would cast a warming charm. Or at the very least grab a sweater. Not spend every night attempting to turn into an icicle." - What makes someone a ghost? Because if it's dying, Harry's got that covered.

Excited to be (finally, oops) claiming my wireless fic gifted to @stargazing-enby! Thank you for the wonderful prompt Doom! A big thank you to @drarrypotterrenaissance and @drwhoisginnyholmes for beta-ing!

H/D Wireless 2022 Fic Claim: Wild Things

Read WILD THINGS on AO3.

Rated: E Word Count: 118K Summary: 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. Features: A plethora of animals (magical and otherwise), one Head Auror Harry Potter with a truly weird wardrobe, dragons, a snake familiar, Artist Draco Malfoy, Dublin, Ireland, Malfoy Manor, and a bit of intrigue with some 90K of slow burn thrown in for good measure.

Well, it's reveals day, and that means it's time for me to claim my monster fic. What a rollercoaster ride it was. First, signing up, then actually putting the plot bunnies in my head onto virtual paper (all while trying very hard not to freak out as the word count continued to climb and climb...I swear it wasn't me, it was the gremlins in my head), and finally to keep quiet about it while posting commenced.

First of all, I'd like to thank the H/D Wireless 2022 Mods, who were absolutely wonderful about so many things...helping me find an alpha reader/beta, then accommodating my AO3 name change to help with my level of comfort, and finally granting me not one but two extensions. And that's just my own interactions with the mods, who are absolutely fabulous people and who deserve all the purple dragon love in the entire world!

Secondly, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the lovely @crazybutgood and @thebooktopus.

CBG, thanks a million for your patience, your willingness to let me freak out in your DMs and your keen eye for details. Your support throughout the writing process means everything, and I will never ever stop to praise you for all you do for fandom and the many writers (including me) you help. Your origami art brings me all the joy in the world and then some. All the love from me to you, forever and always.💜💜💜

Maddy, gosh, where to start? Who'd have thought that your enthusiastic offer to cheerlead would result in such a beautiful friendship? I certainly didn't, but I'm forever thankful that you were the one (along with CBG) to jump at my request. The number of times I went nuts over something or other in your DMs, yikes, you truly have the patience of a saint. You're also truly the kindest, nicest, sweetest, most enthusiastic 📘🐙I could ever hope to find. You reside in my purple little heart forever. 💜💜💜

I Wanna Be On You (E // 6K)

Inspired by Troye Sivan's Dance to This:

Ah, yes, reveals day!! This fic did not want to be written and turned out much differently than my original premise, but I love it just the same. It'll rot your teeth, get your motor goin', and then hopefully you'll leave with the same stupid-ass grin Harry and Draco are both wearing by the end of it. Thanks to the village that made this come together, particularly @coffeedrgn87 and @fluxweeed for their immense support, I adore you both!!! ♥️

Summary: What is it about Draco singing off-key in their kitchen that pushes Harry to admit his feelings? One thoughtful act between roommates that leads to so much more.

Wireless fic claim: A Case of You (E, 97k)

I am so excited to claim this because I made a PLAYLIST encapsulating the ~*vibes*~ of the story (which ended up being melancholy 2010s indie-pop). I listened to it on repeat while writing & I’ve wanted to share it the entire time the fic has been up because it’s for Wireless & runs on music! Ofc, this playlist is in addition to the entire album Blue by Joni Mitchell, which inspired the fic.

This is my first fic back in fandom after 15 years. Thank you to everyone who’s read it—it means the world to me.

Tags: Auror Partners, Unspeakables (Harry Potter), Case Fic, Canon-Typical Violence, Enemies to Lovers, Getting Together, Getting Back Together, Non-Linear Narrative, Blood Magic

Summary:

Draco was doing just fine working as an Unspeakable in Paris, hanging out with his living and ghostly pals, inventing new spells, and definitely not thinking about Potter. Then, Lucius just had to break out of prison and turn his world upside down.

Now, Draco has to return to England, where he is forced to confront how family ties bind us—and one infuriatingly fit Harry Potter.

A snippet:

“No, no.” Potter ran a hand through his hair. “I don’t think … I don’t want you to be alone tonight?”

The familiar stinging rose behind Draco’s eyes. “What are you fucking doing, Potter?”

Potter held his hands up. “I’m not doing anything. Just come to bed with me? Er, non-sexually?”

Draco choked out something half between a laugh and a sob. Potter grabbed his hand again and Draco said, “Alright.”

Once they were firmly ensconced in Potter’s bed, carefully not touching, the constellations still swimming gently above Draco, Draco murmured bitterly, “I can see why you’ve been so lonely, doing this.”

Potter sighed and reached across the duvet, his fingertips just grazing Draco’s side. “I’m a bit less lonely now.”

Thank you thank you thank you to my incredible alphas/betas/cheerleaders Meowfoy (AO3) & Dominique (AO3), without whom this story would be infinitely poorer. Also thank you for catching every single time I misspelled wisp (and also now I know that I use wisp a lot & need to cool it). Another huge thank you to the Wireless mods for putting on this huge & incredible fest - it adds so much to our little corner of fandom & we are richer for it.

thank you so much to everyone who made my first wireless a wonderful experience. especially to THE MODS who are beautiful and perfect and so so patient they should be sainted??? To @sorrybutblog and @eveningstruggle who read and busted commas like it was their job. thank you as well to @dumbledoodlewriting and @eggbagelsjr for sharing their real life knowledge and help with names, both of which made this fic so much better than it was. and OF COURSE thank you to @babooshkart who took my random twitter DM and then ran with it, and who has been an utter delight every single moment. one of my favorite parts of writing this was getting to know you better, boo!

a special thank you must also be given to @sweet-s0rr0w for her on the ground investigative work for an element of this story, which she did with me providing zero context as to why i asked, and which i then threw absolutely to the wind. i’m invoking artistic license!

and OF COURSE: thank you to everyone who has read and engaged with this story so far!

finally: a massive MASSIVE thank you to @m0srael for always being lovely, and for prompting such a fantastic song. this fic started with an image of harry and draco on a train, with neko case singing:

your rails have always outrun mine

hd wireless claim: everybody hates a tourist

Everybody Hates a Tourist | Rated E | 51.5k

“Why’d you ask me to meet?”

It’s a good question. Draco doesn’t have a good answer for it (boredom, morbid curiosity—the same excuses as Potter), so instead, he says, “Take one,” and he holds out his packet of cigarettes. 

Potter stares at it. 

“Do you smoke?” Draco asks.

“Only when I’m nervous.”

Draco shakes the packet. “Well, then? Take one.”

🦀🐚⚓️

On a stag do in sunny Brighton with the Gryffindor lads, the last person Harry expects to run into is Draco Malfoy. After a glimpse of Malfoy’s Muggle life in Britain’s gay capital, Harry’s curiosity gets the better of him and he finds himself returning to the seaside again and again, drawn to the city, drawn to this new version of Malfoy that Harry barely recognises from school. Meanwhile, Draco’s just trying to live his big and best queer life: working for the weekend, chasing hot men, getting lost in Brighton's nightlife, and making friends with the neighbourhood cats. Why does his former school rival and crush have to show up and spoil everything?

So excited to be claiming my entry for this year's amazing @hd-wireless! Thank you so much to @getawayfox @thehoneybeet and @skeptiquewrites for your feedback, read throughs, and thoughtful betaing/alphaing/cheering, you're all amazing; thank you to @maesterchill for the brilliant prompt (pulp forever!); thank you to the wireless mods for putting on this fantastic fest and organising everything so smoothly; and thank you to everyone who has read and/or engaged with this fic while it was anon - you're all incredible. love to you all!

Potter crowds Draco against the door and Draco forgets how to breathe. He wishes the two of them were closer, somehow. Potter crooks his finger under Draco’s chin. “When are you going to stop being a pain in my arse?” Potter asks. When I stop being stupid, Draco thinks, wildly. When I stop wanting you.
