Nights With You
a gift for @fictional
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: E
Wordcount: 58k
Tags: humor, mutal pining, jealousy, fake dating, praise kink, only one bed, weddings, romantic comedy, the gang takes a holiday, to ITALY, plantdad Draco, with an intense skincare regimen, friends to lovers, frenemies Ginny and Draco, Luna/Ginny, silver trio friendship
Summary:
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.
Notes: a gift for my beloved @fictional based on her top 5 favourite tropes: pining, jealousy, fake dating, only one bed, and some enthusiastic praise kink. And ain't that just the damnedest thing?? Those are my favourite tropes too! I went ahead and added some other things we both love: Fashion Draco, HBIC Pansy, and gratuitous depictions of Harry on a motorbike.
This sure was fun to write, so I hope it will be fun to read!
Thank you to my betas!!! @thebooktopus, @epitomereally, and @just-like-that-butmakeitgay

The Unspeakable by The_Sinking_Ship
Art by Peachbabypie
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: E
Wordcount: ~25k
Collection: Harry/Draco Reverse Bang 2022 @harrydracobang
Tags: Unspeakable Harry Potter, Healer Draco Malfoy, action, travel, magical lore, powerful Harry, possessive Draco, secret relationship, light bdsm, handcuffs, collars, soft dom Draco, service top Harry, hung!Harry, smut, tattooed everyone
Summary: Healer Draco Malfoy took the job at the International Department of Mysteries for the paycheck and the prestige. But what he got was Unspeakable Harry Potter and the most fascinating curse he’d ever seen.
Notes: New fic! It’s been a minute but I'm so happy to be writing again!
Apparently all it took to knock me back into it was the right inspiration because Reverse Bang hit me like a brick. All the art is absolutely incredible and I encourage you to browse the entire collection. But when I saw Peach’s?! This image was it for me. I’m a @peachbabypie fangirl across fandoms and this is everything I adore about her work. Lush greenery, evocative lighting, sensuality, and the world’s most beautiful eyelashes. sigh.
I intended to just write some smut. I told people I was just writing some smut… but somehow this became a whole world of its own and is probably none of the things that Peach imagined when creating her beautiful art.
Thank you, Peach, for allowing me total creative liberties. It brought my muse back to me.
Added thank you to my sweet and supportive beta, @lettersbyelise! To my pals for the 24/7 cheerleading (you know who you are). And to the mods for organising this fest! It’s been a blast!

some not-Sunday sentences
Brilliant and talented @thesleepiesthufflepuff and @corvuscrowned tagged me in last week's Six Sentence Sunday (find Fay’s here and Crow’s here). Thank you so much! I’m always shocked when such amazing writers think to tag me in things!
But, SURPRISE, I’m late. (Honestly, if I ever do anything in a timely manner, check on me because space aliens have likely taken over my brain).
Here we have another woefully unedited little snippet from @fictional's birthday fic (also REALLY late, jfc), Nights With You.
Have a jealousy-induced first kiss. As a treat.
Draco’s gaze floated from Harry’s frowning face, half hidden by his cup, across the villa’s grounds, to the pool. Draco could make out McLaggen clearly, posing and preening like an idiot in front of his friends. Draco had no doubt that McLaggen saw them standing there on Harry’s balcony and turned his back on the view.
“Want to make him jealous?” Draco asked, once again speaking before his brain fully considered the repercussions.
Harry lowered his drink and looked at him, head tilted to one side. “I thought that was the point of showing up to the wedding together.”
“It is. But I mean really jealous.” Draco gestured towards the pool with a jerk of his chin.
The corners of Harry’s mouth twitched up. He leaned back against the railing, balancing his cup on the edge. “What did you have in mind?”
Draco’s heart thundered in his chest, and he willed his knees to remain steady as he took a step into Harry’s space. Harry’s small smile widened, eyes flashing with humour, as Draco laid a long-fingered hand against his face. Draco feared Harry might laugh and ruin it, so he told him, “Just go with it, yeah?”
Harry nodded, and Draco kissed him.
Harry’s mouth beneath his stretched into a grin. Draco could map it’s shape with his lips, but then Draco tilted his head, and brushed a thumb against the hinge of Harry’s jaw. The smile melted away and he parted his lips as Draco’s tongue darted out to brush against Harry’s.
Draco’s stomach jolted violently, and suddenly there were hands in his hair, and Harry’s entire body pressed against his.

Very curious what you’re currently working on! Anything fun to share? A snippet or synopsis?
Thank you for the ask, sweet anon! I am TREASURING the distraction right now. Yall are angels.
So I've got 3 big things in progress. All novel length because I apparently don't know the meaning of the word brevity.
One is a currently posting spideypool thing that is on anon for now but can be found by anyone interested by scrolling down a few ticks on my tumblr (or just dm me!).
One of them is for a fest so I'm not gonna say a word about it. Except that it's long. It's Drarry. And I think you all will enjoy it. (Currently seeking betas so hit me up if you wanna take a vow of silence)
And the last is my FTH entry I've been working on for over a year. I'll be lucky to get out under 100k. I'll post a snippet of that one when I get home, but it features a badass curse breaker!Harry with a classic car collection, a magically compromised Malfoy with a saucy streak, and a little road trip. You can find previously posted snippets of that under the tag #heavy metal fic OR by browsing the #storiesfromthesinkingship tag.
I'VE GOT 45 MIN IN THIS BEAUTIFUL TORTURE (tattoo) SESH. HIT ME WITH YOU ASKS WHILE I PRETEND NOT TO CRY.

Artwork by @bluebutter-art. Do not use/repost without permission.
It's my faniversary, y'all!
One year ago TODAY, I posted my first Drarry fic, Stupid Love. I commissioned this artwork from the incomparable @bluebutter-art to celebrate and HOLY SHIT it's so beautiful! I can't tell you how long I've spent staring at it because I've lost track.
Read my stupid, sappy fangirl feelings under the cut...
Stupid Love was the first complete Drarry fic I flung into the world. It had been ages since I engaged with fandom as anything more than a consumer, but quarantined in my house with nothing but anxiety for company, I just started writing. I’ll admit, I never really expected anyone to read it. It felt like such a silly, frivolous story to share during a time so fraught with fear and uncertainty. But once I got started, I couldn’t stop! Fic writing became my therapy, my safe space to just do whatever the hell I wanted, and since then, I’ve poured countless hours into hundreds of thousands of words about these boys. I'm so lucky that I get to engage with creators that I admire, share my ridiculous fics with passionate readers, and gain treasured friends along the way.
To celebrate my fic-i-versary, I commissioned Blue, who is as sweet as she is brilliant, to illustrate a scene from Stupid Love and LET ME TELL YOU. I have been sitting on this masterpiece for months, literally counting down the days until I got to share it with everyone because LOOK AT IT. My god.
Thank you, Blue! You’ve made my dreams come true and I’m so honoured to add this artwork to my little collection. And thank you to all of YOU — friends, followers, and readers — for your kind comments, enthusiasm, and generosity in welcoming me into fandom. Here’s to another year of filthy smut and gratuitous banter!
Cheers!

Fic Claim: Chasing Dragons
Tumblr media
Cover art by my love, @fictional
Chasing Dragons
Author: The_Sinking_Ship (AO3) (Tumblr) Pairing: Draco/Harry Rating: E Wordcount: 99k Tags: fake/pretend relationship, enemies to lovers, Healer Draco, dragon tamer Harry, everyone is a total BAMF, and Harry rides a motorbike in a leather jacket, and Charlie Weasley is sexy af Collection: H/D Wireless 2021 @hd-wireless​
Summary:
Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that’s by making headlines with an obvious upgrade. And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself? Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl. Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn’t hurt, either. But Potter is also in need of a Healer willing to keep his secrets, and Draco is just the man for the job. It’s a perfectly reasonable exchange. They need only attend a couple parties arm-in-arm, smile nicely for the paparazzi, and tolerate each other long enough to convince everyone they’re smitten. In return, Draco will keep Potter alive and in one piece.
But it isn’t long before Draco realises he might be in over his head, because Potter is ten tonnes of trouble packed into a leather jacket, and seems keen on hurtling himself towards death on the back of a flying motorbike. And that says nothing of Potter’s penchant for fire-breathing beasts and things that bite.
Ah well, at least they’ll have some fun while it lasts. After all, Draco always did like a bit of danger.
Notes:
This fic was based on a prompt by @ladderofyears for the song Bad Boyfriend by Garbage (anyone else have a teenage crush on Shirley Manson?!). It is my honour to gift this to such a fantastic writer and all-around lovely person.
BIG THANK YOU TO: my darling betas, @phenomenalasterisk and @hgh777​. My number one cheerleader and creator of my GORGEOUS fic cover, @fictional,​ and of course the Wireless Mods!

Happy birthday, Lynn!!
New fic announcement!
I’ve got another one on deck, friends! And I'm dedicating this one to one of my favourite people on planet earth in honour of her day of birth (which is TODAY).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @fictional!!!
Alas, I’ve never been on time once in my life, so it’s not ready. It’s so close, but I’m a perfectionist, and Lynn is endlessly patient, so here’s hoping it isn’t as late as last year’s gift (no promises). Instead, allow me to offer a snippet — a teaser of what’s to come, featuring Lynn's 5 Favourite Tropes: pining, jealousy, fake dating, only one bed, and praise kink.
For now, enjoy a little (unedited) snippet from the first chapter, wherein Draco and Harry both find themselves woefully dateless at a destination wedding in Italy. The scene picks up as they hide from the masses, and commiserate over their rotten luck.
Coming soon (in like... 2 weeks): Nights With You
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
“Do you love him? McLaggen, I mean,” Draco asked, because even though they'd split, it was all he wanted to know.
Harry’s head snapped up, and he looked at Draco with wide eyes.
“I —” Harry’s mouth worked, but no words came out, until, “I thought I did.”
“And now?”
“Now, I don’t know what to think.”
Draco took a breath and then nodded. “Maybe give the thinking a break. Clearly not your strong suit. And anyway, weddings make everyone feel strange; all twisted up and confused, worried you’ve picked the wrong path, made a left turn with you ought to have gone right, and bungled the whole thing up. Something about seeing everyone paired off and making plans. But once it’s over and you go back to your normal routine, you’ll probably realise that life with an insufferable prat in possession of no redeeming qualities and who is fucking the yoga instructor isn’t worth your time.”
Harry frowned, but a small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. “Cormack didn’t do yoga.”
Draco sighed. “That’s what they want you to think.”
“Is that… is that what happened to you?” Harry asked with a grimace. “Erik left you for the yoga instructor?”
Draco took another swig from the whisky bottle, coughing lightly. “What, Pansy didn’t tell you yet? Thought she’d told everyone by this point.”
“I learnt to ignore Parkinson years ago.”
Draco snorted, then dared a glance at Harry. “Pretty embarrassing, don’t you think?”
Harry shrugged. “Reflects worse on him than it does you.”
“How do you reckon? Because I’m feeling like a right arse.”
“Should be used to it by now,” Harry said with a smirk, and Draco pinched his arm hard enough to make him yelp. “Ouch! I just mean, it shows he’s not in it for the right reasons if he’s ready to jump from one pretty face to the next.”
Draco lowered the bottle and leaned in, close enough to feel Harry’s surprised exhale. “You think I’m pretty?”
Harry licked his lips, but his smirk widened. “Sure. As if you didn’t know, the way you peacock around.”
Draco worried he might be putting off light, because on the inside, he was absolutely glowing. “I’m telling McLaggen you said that.”
“God, he’d hate that.” Harry huffed a laugh.
“Is that so?”
“Oh yeah. He always kept an eye on you.” Harry tugged the bottle from Draco’s hand, and Draco was forced to withdraw slightly as he took a drink.
“I’m flattered he considered me a threat.”
“Malfoy, everyone considers you a threat.”
Draco’s left brow twitched up.
Harry rolled his eyes. “You flirt with everyone.”
Draco gasped, indignant. “I do not! I’m very choosy.”
“Hermione’s date was not pleased to meet you. And didn’t you see the way Nott scowled when you kissed his girlfriend?”
“Granger? Really?” Draco flapped a dismissive hand. “At least Theo has reason. Astoria and I were betrothed, after all. She’s a lovely girl, but it would never work between us, and Theo knows it. She lacks the necessary… equipment.”
Harry blinked at him.
“A cock,” Draco clarified, twitching his hips up, which drew a burst of surprised laughter from Harry.
“Yeah, I get it. You’re not interested in women.”
“Are you?” Draco asked without thinking.
“Interested in women?” Harry shrugged. “It’s more about the person than the… equipment.”
“Liar.”
Harry’s mouth fell open. “What do you mean? I’m not lying. Why would I be lying?”
“Because McLaggen has all the substance and intrigue of a shapely rock. There is no way you were with him for anything more than his cock. Was he that good in bed?”
Harry choked out another laugh. “I’m not talking to you about that.”
Draco gave an exaggerated wince. “So he wasn’t good? Bloody hell, Potter, sounds like you’re better with nought but your hand. I’m sure it talks back less.”
“The mouthy ones aren’t so bad if you know how to shut them up.” Harry smirked as he lifted the bottle to take another drink, but Draco stilled Harry’s hand with his own and leaned back in. The smirk melted away.
“And how do you do that? I’m dying to know,” Draco purred.
Harry’s eyes darkened and dropped to Draco’s mouth. Draco’s breath stuttered in his lungs because Harry was actually considering it, considering him. And he never thought — he never imagined —
“Harry?” A voice echoed from around the side of the building, and Draco clenched his jaw to keep from hissing. He pulled away just as Weasley rounded the corner. To Draco’s surprise, he had Pansy in tow.
“Oi, Harry, there you are. Daphne is demanding photos of the wedding party,” he said, then scanned Draco with narrowed eyes. “What are you lot doing back here?”
Harry held up the bottle, now a quarter empty. “Drinking.”
“And hiding from the unnecessary pity party, now that it seems everyone at the wedding knows of our unfortunate predicaments.” Draco’s attention swung to Pansy. “Might you know anything about that, darling?”
“People ask questions, Draco. Do you expect me to lie?”
Draco sighed nosily, then watched with displeasure as Weasley snagged Harry by the elbow and tugged.
“See you,” Harry said. He shoved the bottle into Draco’s hands, gave them a little wave, and allowed Weasley to pull him away.
Draco watched him go, appraising him from the back with his bottom lip clamped between his teeth. “Potter’s fit, don’t you think?” Draco asked.
Pansy clicked her tongue and extracted the bottle from Draco’s loose grip. She took a swig and didn’t even flinch, simply dabbed the corners of her painted lips with her fingertips.
“Yes, Potter is fit. Everyone knows Potter is fit,” she said.
“Do you think I could… you know?”
“Do I think you could fuck Potter?”
“Well, I rather fancied he’d fuck me, but yes. Same idea.” Draco chewed his lip. “Do you think he would, though?”
Pansy’s face softened for only a moment, then she wiped it clear. “You're gorgeous, darling,” she said. “He’d be crazy not to want you.”
Draco beamed and took the bottle she held out to him. “Cheers.”
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
(proceed beyond the cut for the VERY soppy dedication)
I’m going to warn you now, this dedication is going to get emotional, not because I’m an emotional person, but because today is @fictional’s birthday, and talking about her gets me feeling things. So if this reads like a love letter, that’s because it is.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that not only is Lynn one of my favourite people in fandom, but she is one of my favourite people in the entire world. She is a fixture in my daily life. I spend days without her feeling as though something is missing. Like I’ve left the house without my keys, wore my shirt backwards in public; a morning without coffee, a brunch without champagne.
Lynn is such a unique talent. She’s so original it makes my head explode. Some of my favourite artists are those whose personality bleeds into their work, not as a performance, but because they just shine that brightly. And Lynn’s artwork is dazzling, intelligent, and tender. It’s fun, and fucking funny, and hot as hell. She creates a magical world in a rainbow spectrum as vibrant as she is (where everyone also has really great eyebrows).
I know that when you meet a person like her, one whose soul touches yours, you give them whatever you can for as long as they allow it. And in my case, all I know how to do is write a lot of stupid words. So, I wrote her another fic and tried to cram in everything that she loves. If she cracks a smile once, I’m calling it a win.
Thank you, Lynn, for being my friend for over a year. For deciding me worthy, and showing me who you really are. For listening to me vent, holding my hand when my heart hurt, for being one of the main reasons I keep writing, even when it seems pointless. Darling, you’re a real one. And I’m your biggest fan.
I hope this rotation around the sun gives you what you deserve, which is fucking everything.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Finely Drawn Lines
Author: The_Sinking_Ship (AO3) (Tumblr)
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: E
Wordcount: ~60k
Tags: Hogwarts professors, friends with benefits, artist Draco, tattooed Harry, pining, angst, banter, smut Smut SMUT (like 69% pr0n)
Summary: Draco doesn’t consider himself an artist (though the dozens of sketchbooks lining his shelves might suggest differently). Yet ever since Potter returned to Hogwarts, accepting a teaching position alongside Draco, his drawings have taken on a rather singular focus. From the curl of his lips to the exact number of lines that form at the corners of his eyes when he laughs, Draco has catalogued every shade of one Harry James Potter between the pages of his sketchbook. So long as Potter remains none the wiser, Draco will have no trouble controlling his crush.
But when Potter comes to him with a dangerous proposition, Draco fears things are about to get so much more complicated.
Notes: *bangs pots and pans together* New fic!!!! I've been dropping lines from this thing into the Six-Sentence-Sunday posts for... god... like a year. And I couldn't be happier to finally shove this baby bird out of the nest. Big thanks to my god-tier beta team, @fw00shy and @vukovich. Without you, I probably would have spent another year dithering over this thing.
Read on AO3.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💖
This is really nice! Thank you for thinking of me, mysterious anon.
When asked to rec some of my favourites from my own collection, I tend to always gravitate to the same long fics. So this time, I think I’ll offer up five of my less popular works that I really love!
Things We Do (Explicit, ~17k, clubbing, roommates, smut)
This was a birthday gift for Fwooshy, who loves fuck-boy Harry and a few drinks at the club. It was also the first thing I wrote after the gruelling marathon of finishing two 100k+ fics in a row. Maybe the angst scared people away from this one, but apparently I really needed to write some messy they-were-roommates smut. There is a happy ending, I promise.
‘Tis a Far Better Thing (Explicit, 37k, fashion designer Draco, banter, humor)
I don’t know, I just really love this fic. It’s lighthearted, and goofy, and chock-full of fashion (it’s loosely based on the movie Clueless, after all). I wrote it for Lynn’s birthday last year and I’m not sure I’ve ever had more fun writing a story in my life. I allowed myself to be indulgent and write the type of fic that I love to read. I’m a firm believer that not all fic has to be serious. It doesn’t have to tear you apart and put you back together again. It’s the milkshake and french fries of fic, and I’m not mad about it.
Sweet Indulgence (Explicit, 10k, Head Auror Harry, snarky Draco, office Christmas party, desk sex)
Another one of my earlier fics, but I’m still really fond of this one. I took a leap and gifted a fic to an artist I was trying to woo (@fictional), and it worked brilliantly. Yeah, it’s a Christmas party fic, but there are jokes and snacks and sex on the Head Auror’s desk, so I think it can be enjoyed year-round.
Like Gold (Explicit, 4.9k, praise kink, motorbike rides, established relationship, giving the middle finger to oppressive parents)
I’m just leaving this here as a reminder to myself that I CAN write a fic under 5k and still manage to cram in both smut and motorcycles.
Finely Drawn Lines (Explicit, 60k, Hogwarts professors, artist Draco, lots of smut, a forest of pine)
My new fic finishes posting THIS SUNDAY (3/27), so for those of you who are WIP-phobic, the time has come! I started this story in January of 2021 and I’m just now getting around to publishing it. It’s also my first/only fic that takes place in Hogwarts and writing it felt a bit like returning home after growing up and living a life.
I'm off to sneakily send this to some of my fav writers!

H/D Big Bang '21: Dwelling on Dreams
Tumblr media
Cover art by @lkaet
Dwelling on Dreams
Author: The_Sinking_Ship (AO3) (Tumblr)
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: E
Wordcount: ~137k
Tags: break up/make up, getting back together, enemies to lovers, case fic, Head Auror Harry is a motorbike riding BAMF, Potions Master Draco is clever and posh AF, Draco in the Muggle world, Draco speaks French and lives in Paris, smoking, drinking, unhealthy coping mechanisms, humor, pining, a good dose of smut (naturally), hurt/comfort, happy ending
Collection: Harrry/Draco Big Bang 2021, @harrydracobang​
Summary:
Draco thought he could avoid Potter for the duration of his brief return to England. He’d stick to his schedule and be back home in Paris, where he belonged, in a few short months. No trouble at all. He had plenty to occupy him, what with the opening of the London branch of his successful apothecary, his innovative research, drinks with Pansy, a backlog of unread potions periodicals.
Except Head Auror Potter is everywhere — in Draco's chair, at his door, in his dreams. All six feet of motorbike-riding, combat-boot-wearing, sex-hair-sporting Saviour of the World packed into one unfairly fetching uniform. Potter won’t leave Draco the bloody hell alone, won’t let him breathe, let him forget, let him sleep.
Because no matter how fast Draco Malfoy runs, Harry Potter is always hot on his heels.
Notes:
My first Drarry fic is finally seeing the light of day! This beast has undergone THREE complete rewrites, hundreds of thousands of words thrown into the trash, only to be redrafted, recrafted, and expanded by about 70k. But we have arrived! And I'm really fucking proud of it.
I partnered with @lkaet on this fic, and HOLY SHIT GUYS. Here is the masterpost with the art from the fic, so go shower them with love!
This thing wouldn't even exist without the help from the best betas and friends a girl could ask for: @jackvbriefs and @fw00shy. My cheerleading squad, who had to remind me to sleep in regular intervals and held my hand when things got rough: @fictional and @zigster-ao3. And to the fest mods, who worked so hard to put this fest together.

Six (or more?!) Sentence Someday
Kindly tagged by @tackytigerfic @lou-isfake and @teacup-tai to share a wip snip. I haven't done this in a while! Here's a peek at a smutty little gift fic I'll have out next week.
Of all the things they do, this isn’t one of them. Harry never comes into Draco’s room and sits on his bed at night. He doesn’t lay down next to Draco, stretched out atop the covers, head on the rarely-used second pillow. So Draco doesn’t understand why he’s doing it now. Harry clasps his hands over his chest, his gaze fixed at the ceiling above.
“I’ve been thinking.”
“Good for you, Potter. A first for everything,” Draco says with a sigh, dropping back onto his pillow.
Draco tries to relax his muscles, to sink down into the mattress, but he can feel the space between his right shoulder and Harry’s left. He can count the exact number of inches between their hips, like a chasm, narrow but so very deep.
Does Harry know Draco’s naked under the covers? And if he did, would he still willingly lay next to him? Draco thinks probably not. He tightens his grip on the sheets.
“I know right?” Harry chuckles and it's too intimate, to hear that sound in the dark like this. “Sometimes I try very hard not to think at all. But other times, I can’t help it.”
“And what are you thinking about that has you waking me an hour before dawn?”
“Kissing you,” Harry says.
I know a lot of you may have been tagged already, so sorry for any multiples!: @onbeinganangel @thusspoketrish @jackvbriefs @pineau-noir @thesleepiesthufflepuff @nv-md @wheezykat @primavera-cerezos @vukovich @iero0 @zigster-ao3 @gallifrey1sburning

Hey Drarry Fans!!
Tumblr media
I'm participating in this year's Fandom Trumps Hate!
What is it?
