Summary:

Harry has spent the year after the war staying out of the public eye, dodging political battles, and standing firm against pressure from his friends. But he has a secret plan to get away from it all. He just needs to testify at one more Death Eater trial: Draco Malfoy’s. Little does Harry know what his act of compassion will cost him—and Malfoy.

Excerpt:

“Now what do I do?” Harry asks, almost to himself.

“Nothing,” Draco answers firmly. “You let the magical folk sort things out. If Pember and the Wizengamot won’t step down, they’ll be voted out in the next election, I predict. You and I go forward with our lives here. That was your plan, remember? Don’t tell me you’ve changed your mind.”

With a scoff, Harry says, “Definitely not.”

“Good. I was afraid I was going to have to talk some sense into you, which seems like it would be a hopeless cause. What did you mean, then?”

“I was talking about my life—the rest of my life. The ICW’s investigation felt like the last thing standing in the way of me moving on. But now that’s over, I want something to do besides pottering around the house like an old man.” Harry pauses to nudge Draco’s arm with his elbow. “And don’t tell me to find some hobbies again. That’s not what I’m talking about.”

“A career?”

“I guess. Some kind of purpose, anyway. It doesn’t have to be a job.”

“You only just turned twenty,” Draco says consolingly. “Most people our age are still working out what they want to do with their lives. You’ll figure it out, too.”

Slowly, Harry reaches over and interlaces his fingers with Draco’s. His skin is soft and warm, and suddenly Harry wants to know what it would feel like to have Draco’s hands on his face, on his bare shoulders, on his waist. He wants to kiss each palm and then look up to see Draco smiling at him, amused and pleased. A painful longing grips Harry’s heart.

“Just… don’t leave me, okay?” he rasps, barely above a whisper.

“I’m not going to leave you, Harry.” Draco’s voice is gentle and concerned. “Why would I? Where would I go?”

“You told me your solicitor is going to help you get your vaults back, now that your mother’s in custody. You’ll be able to live on your own, wherever you want to.” Harry looks down at their clasped hands. “I’d never try to make you stay with me. But I really hope you will. I guess I just wanted you to know that.”

“All right.”

This is the final Survey from @gameofdrarry Wizard Hearts Game. This has basically turned into a fic rec list all on its own, so buckle up here goes:

What was the first fanwork you read/listened to for the game/fest? Why did you choose it?

So the first story I picked was Reform by TheSquibby Princess which was a 186k polyamory beast of a fic, which I absolutely adored. I have a thing for triads and a soft spot for Ron Weasley and so there it was. I was also ambitious as all heck at the beginning, hence the word count. But the fic was a gem, and I adored it and I loved how each relationship built separately all while the triad grew together!

What was the last fanwork you read/listened to for the game/fest? Why did you choose it?

The last work I read was for the established relationship card, which somehow ended up being the last card standing. I looked for something short (because I literally had an hour or so), but that caught my attention. I’ve read works by TheMightyFlynn @mightyflynn before and loved them, so as soon as I saw their name and the summary I dove in. Two Days That Changed His Life was an awesome read and great use of the trope!

What's a fanwork you think is a hidden gem and deserves more hype?

So I’m a sucker for MPREG and A Star Danced by @ladderofyears was an absolute gem, as is it’s author. ladderofyears is an excellent writer and one of the sweetest people in fandom and I adores this story.

What was your strategy for choosing fanworks throughout the game? Was there a tag/trope you found you simply couldn’t resist?

My plan of attack was to try and do all 50k+ and do them all by suit. I got about halfway through that and then life happened, so I just tried to get them all done… not a trope I couldn’t resist, but I read a ton of Wireless Fest fics and they were absolutely spectacular this year. Paper Rings by lettersByelise (epilogue compliant) and In Free Fall by @kbrick are absolute wonderful gems that I didn’t mention anywhere else in this but that you should definitely read.

Was there a trope that you’ve read a lot of previously that you found uniquely presented in a fic?

So I love fics that show Harry testifying for Draco, like it’s one of those pivotal moments in my mind that is such a moment in this pairing, but most of those moments follow a tried and true formula. I Won’t Let You Fall Apart by xanthippe74 takes the Harry testifying for Draco is a completely original direction and it was fantastic. The fic itself was so well-written but that twist on something I already loved and that plot line was absolutely perfect.

What's a line from a fic/podfic that you can't stop thinking about?

If you have not read A Pocket Full of Stones by waterwings, you are missing out. That story lives in my head rent free because it’s beautiful and poignant and the emotions it evokes are visceral.

There is nothing clever about Potter’s magic. Nothing gentle. He walks headfirst into the rest of the wizards, stupid and stubborn. The air is electric, the shadows move around him, and Draco can taste his magic in the wind. A deep, earthy thing, that feels old and damp and clean. The spells are wandless and wordless and Draco, for the first time that night, finds himself standing still.

Potter isn’t skilled or clever or fast; he is a force of nature.

I should leave him, Draco thinks, but it’s fleeting.

He dashes back into the fray, because when has he ever been able to walk away from Harry Potter?

What's a moment in a fic/podfic that genuinely got you to tear up?

I read Its No Great Mystery by agentmoppet for the time travel card and that story just hit me in every emotion I had. It’s a time loop, so not technically travel, but Harry is lost after the war and some of the things that he confronts during his loop brought me to tears. One was his relationship with Hagrid. I think Hargid always should have gotten more recognition in cannon for how much he cares for Harry. But this fic is gorgeous and has so many things done so right, and it just feels so real and so relatable. This line gives nothing away but is just so poignant to me.

Possessed by the spirit of some unknown demon—possibly Sirius, possibly his own father, or possibly just the man Harry might have been if he’d been raised by the two of them—he winked at Draco from across the empty dance floor.

Was there a trope you’ve never read or heard of before? What did you think of it?

I’ve heard of all of the tropes, but honestly there have not been many too many stories featuring Harry or Draco as trans until recently, so that’s something I just had not had the opportunity to read yet. What Husbands are For by softlystarstruck is just a spectacular example of trans characters and a testament to the fact that the relationship between Harry and Draco just is, no matter how they identify, no matter that they are a vampire and a werewolf and no matter that their marriage was only supposed to be political. I loved this fic and loved the inclusivity of this story.

Which trope did you read that pleasantly surprised you?

I’m not one to seek out Second Person POV very often, but Catch Me Before You Fall by lq_traintracks is an amazing use of the trope and just a fantastic story all around. Draco is newly turned and ends up on Harry’s doorstep, and ends up staying. Harry’s POV is so great in this one and their Draco is fantastic as well.

Was there a fanwork that made you laugh out loud? Why?

You send Me (Honest You Do) by firethesound features Auror Partners Harry and Draco where Harry ends up with himself de-aged. This fic is absolutely a gem, and in a world where Draco and Ron are actually friends, you know there are some hilarious moments.

“He is my friend, yes. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s really nice having a partner who’s aware that rules exist,” Ron said.

“Potter is aware that rules exist,” Draco muttered. “I just can’t get him to care.”

“Exactly,” Weasley said, clapping him companionably on the shoulder. “My point exactly. And it’s someone else’s turn to deal with him.” Shaking his head, he muttered to himself as he finished pouring the milk, “Let’s follow the spiders, Ron. Let’s take a flying car to Hogwarts, Ron. Let’s climb aboard this dragon, Ron, and fly away with it, that won’t arse off the Goblins and get us banned from Gringotts for life.”

Draco narrowed his eyes. “He said the flying car was your brilliant idea.”

“Might’ve been,” Weasley said easily, putting the milk away. “And even if it wasn’t, I’m willing to take that one. At least the car didn’t breathe fire, unlike the dragon, so I think I’m still ahead. Has he ever told you about the time he jumped off the top of Tower Bridge in pursuit of a suspect?”

I“What the fuck,” Draco said, blinking. “When did he—no, no. I don’t want to know about it. I’m happier not knowing the details.”

“You probably are. He about gave me a heart attack,” Weasley said, shaking his head. “I’ve been partnered with Ji-eun for almost three months and she hasn’t jumped off a single bridge in that whole time. I deserve this. That’s all I’m saying.”

Was there a fanwork that made you especially emotional? Why?

The Ordeal of Being Known by Louisfake was just one that I read (and it’s sequel) that had me in my emotions for almost the entire story. Harry is struck by a curse that renders him mute, and Draco, a healer legilimens, is the only one that can help him. This story brings the boys through Harry’s memories and Draco sees every single one. It’s invasive, it’s intimate and it’s just a beautiful telling of how they bridge the distance between them to understanding and then more. It’s a fantastic story.

What is your favourite tag/trope? Why?

Fake dating/ pretend relationship hands down. I LOVE a good fake dating trope more than almost anything else in fandom. I read When Times are Dire by Aibidil for that trope and I was floored by that story. It’s much more serious than most written for this trope, and it has a lot of political elements and a middle-aged Harry and Draco, but it’s absolutely fantastic and has such a strong ensemble cast as well as such a strong relationship that Draco and Harry build. It was truly a great take on the trope and so well done.

Which tags/tropes did you skip? Would you be willing to share why? If you didn’t skip a tag/trope, was there one that gave you pause?

The only one I skipped was Cannon Divergent and Honestly it was almost by accident. I read Meet me at Midnight by Thestarryknight, but didn’t have a trope left it fit with, so Cannon Divergent got skipped just so I could give all the love to this amazing fic.

Did you read multiple fics by the same author? What tags/tropes did they have? Wax poetic about the author a bit, eh!

I cannot pick one. I’m going to have to pick two. I had never read anything by Louisfake before this game, and I am in love with their writing. i read The Ordeal of Being Known (veratiserum) and The Rewards of Being Loved (Patronus) and Weapon of Choice (Period Piece) I’ve gushed over the other two, so if you have not read Weapom of Choice, you need to. It’s a medieval piece and features Knight Draco and Evil King Albus. Everything is changed, and yet Draco and Harry remain. It’s wonderful and I was so happy I found it.

Second author is The_Sinking_Ship who is absolutely a joy to read. Everything is just one better than the other! I read Chasing Dragons (song fic) and Finely Drawn Lines (friends with Benefits) and I loved them both. Finely Drawn Lines is just so, so good. The boys are professors and Draco is an artist, and Harry tends to end up his subject. The POV on This is amazing and Draco’s drawings speak all of the words. It just was one of my favorites I’ve read in a bit. I have to include an excerpt.

Before he realised it, Draco had gone ahead and catalogued Harry Potter’s every expression. And this was precisely the reason Draco could never let Potter see inside his sketchbook. What he was doing would most certainly be considered creepy, although he never meant for it to be. It wasn’t as if he was following Potter around or lurking in dark corners, carving his portrait into every surface. It was simply that Potter was a very good subject.

Oh, and Draco was a bit in love with him. There was that.

Who's an author you think deserves more hype? Why?

I have never read anything by AvenueofESC before and I absolutely fell in love with Everything You Want (Is Right in Front of You). It features meddlesome Teddy and was an adorable fic and just struck the perfect balance. I loved the way Harry and Draco got to know each other and the developing relationship between them, and Teddy manipulating them both. Wonderful writing and a new author that I’m glad I found.

Did a fic send you off on a tangent reading or researching anything? Which one was it? What was your off-the-path adventure?

I have to be careful any time I read anything by Shiftylinguini, because I set out to read one thing, and suddenly I’ve read 5 fics (and not for the first time either) and lost like a half a day because I can’t just read one fic. The one fic I read makes me then re-read my favorites. I read Celestial Bodies (accidental bonding and space magic) and Coming up For Air (Veela, forced proximity) the last day of the game and now I’ve reread all my faves in the last couple days, including Two Weeks (VeelaHarry) and Embers ( werewolves) because I just can’t get enough.

Did you rec any fics to your friends during the game/fest? Which ones? Why?

So I couldn’t use this particular fic because I have gushed all over it before. But Drarrelie and JanieOhio are my favorite RomCom duo and This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) from LCD fest is one of my absolute favorites. I read Recipe for Life (misunderstanding) for this years fest and it was so good. Draco is a Chef and squires both a child and Harry Potter as his Sous Chef. It’s super cute, and so well written and I absolutely loved it. But I recommend This Will Be to anyone that will listen.

Do you have any feedback for the mods of the game/fest? Would you be interested in playing again if the opportunity arose? Share more info about your experience

I love this fest, it’s probably my favorite thing in the fandom. I enjoyed it again and had an absolute blast doing it! I love finding authors I’ve never heard of or reading others stories from old favorites. I also love the teams and getting to know more people in the fandom

Maester's 2023 Fic Recs

(eyyy, another banner art by me, snake of Slytherin, heheh🐍)

Not one to normally do rec lists, me, as they are tricksy, fiddly things, and I'm pants at knowing what to say about a good fic that accurately conveys my love for it beyond keysmash and 'aaargh i loved it'.

Which is why this has taken me 3 weeks to bloody pull together... 😄

So I'm just going to list them out and maybe comment a bit, we'll see.

And can I just say this has been a STELLAR year for fics, so many amazing ones to choose from. And I also apologise in advance to the authors if I haven't left you a comment, I am terribly behind, but comments will come, spurting in contrite ribbons over the stomachs of your fics, forthwith.

fyi: there's a mix of Drarry and other ships but it's 90% Drarry.

1k or less 🍬

Absolutely exquisite pining. 2nd person POV done right.

💚Follow the Butterflies by @rainstormradish (Aragog/Flying Ford Anglia, T, 1.4k)

You might have to trust me on this ship, and you would be right to do so, because this sweet, melancholic and haunting fic made me feel a thing about a giant spider and a car.

💚Rise Forgetful From Your Sleep by @kbrick (Drarry, G 1.5k)

'Draco finds Harry Potter waiting for him at the Manor. But Potter has been dead for ten years.' CHILLING. Dark Harry deliciousness

💚Making Noise by @cavendishbutterfly (Drarry, E 2.4k)

Professors!Drarry. Fun, fun, fun and fab twist.

💚That Lavender Haze by @lettersbyelise (Draco/Pansy, Drarry if you squint, 3.8k)

This 2024 bittersweet gem snuck in because I say so. Dransy platonic (hot) sex and love, plus Drarry fantasy.

💚Under the table by @xanthippe74 (Drarry, T, 4k)

An utter delight! Oblivious Draco POV of a string of dinner parties that's both funny and sharp.

💚Baggage Claim by @greattemptation (Drarry, M, 4k)

'The couples therapy had gone poorly. So poorly, in fact, that obliviators had been called.' Wonderful established Drarry with sharp character insights.

💚The real thing by @skeptiquewrites (Drarry, M, 5k)

Caretaker Harry surrounded by people who love him. Friendship, pining and a gentle love that's exactly my jam.

💚Muscle Memory by @corvuscrowned (Drarry, E, 7.7k)

Another big-brained author with a cool premise. What if Drarry's hookups were erased from their memory each and every time? An amazing story, that's what.

💚Among the elements by @sweet-s0rr0w (Drarry, M, 8k)

Sweets has delivered the perfect Mpreg fic here. Beautiful, sensitive, hard-hitting. Spellbinding and full of heart. I emotioned a lot.

💚Blackjack by @cassiopeiasshadow (Drarry, Romione, M, 9k)

Unwitting Seer Ron POV that had me howling. Perfect perfection.

💚Always the Last to Know by @nv-md (Drarry, M, 10k)

💚Still the pine-woods scent the moon by @fluxweeed (Harry/Remus, E, 15.5k)

Written in 2022 but I read it this year, so it gets included. STUNNING fic. The meltingly hot UST. Remus's restraint hanging on by a thread. Indescribably hot.

💚the eighth sin by @honeybeet (Drarry, E, 16k)

Mesmerising and dreamlike - uncanny and unsettling. Beautifully written and thought-provoking. The seven eight sins motif is so subtly done.

💚If i could never give you peace by @poisonivy206 (Drarry, E, 17k)

Aah. Two broken lost men reluctantly working a case together. Hook it up to my veins! Beautiful.

💚The Boys of Summer by @saxamophone (Drarry, E, 19.5k)

Less than 50k 🍰

💚With Love in Her Luminous Eyes by @starquestingfordrarry (Drarry, T, 30k)

Adored this. Gentle, heart-warming sentient Grimmauld Place fic, with fluffy OCs and a captivating Outsider POV. Just fab.

💚Draco Malfoy & the Journal of Dreadful Things by @lilbeanz (Drarry pre-slash, G, 34k)

I'm not normally into canon rewrites but lilbeanz has a way of writing that brings me unbridled joy, so I lapped up every word. Written in 2022, but part 2 was posted in 2023 and I can't wait to get my teeth into it!

💚Nothing Gold Can Stay by @moonflower-rose (Drarry, E, 40k)

Rosie knocking all our socks off with this belter of a multiverse fic. Massive rec. You will laugh and you will gasp and you will cry.

💚A pulled down shade by fast_brother (Drarry, M, 43k)

Another galaxy brain fic that pulled my heartstrings tight. All my favourite tropes in one place!

Dumb unhinged Auror partners. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

More than 100k 🥩

💚Always already by @aibidil (Drarry E, 170k)

Aib at the top of her game. Drarry in the 1970s. Funny, twisty, clever and brimming with the smart stuff. And more goddammn Marauders heartbreakyness😭.

💚I do not love you by @writandromance (Drarry, M, 228k)

Another fic that's from pre-2023, but I'd seen so many recs for it and gave it a go this year. The hype was right, a rollercoaster of emotions, both in the past and present settings, deep love and deep angst beautifully and heartstoppingly written. One you'll think about for weeks afterwards.

#much respect to all the reccers out there!#This is not my forte at all 😅#i hope people find something on here they haven't read yet #they are all so good #what a fandom #hp fic recs #faves of 2023 #drarry fic recs #hp rare pairs #maester recs stuff

Made this for @xanthippe74 after reading her fics Vortex and Riptide and having one of the most emotional responses to a story I think I've ever had. It's truly fantastic and I had to create something. I haven't done traditional pencil art in probably like a decade, so this was fun and challenging. I will definitely be drawing more from this fic once I get my digital art stuff setup again.

How is 2023 almost over?? This fandom year was a mixed bag for me; in good news, I managed to shake the awful writer's block of 2022, but sadly that definitely meant that I spent less time reading. In the first half of the year I kept up with Dronarry fest, and Wireless, but since the summer I've been working on a longfic and have definitely found that it's impaired my ability to read longer stuff. With that in mind, the lovely @drarrymyheart very kindly offered to step in and help out, and so in addition to my own recs, I present a few of her recs that I've heard great things about, but haven't got round to yet myself <3 these are denoted by stars (⭐)! There are some absolute bangers on this list (imho), and it features such a wide range in terms of length and tropes, that I really hope there's something here for everyone. All Drarry unless otherwise specified. Wishing you all a 2024 full of joy!

What's up!

I am a few months late with my recs. The holidays were busy, then I ended up working way more than usual during January. But, I'm back! And, I'm so excited to share these fics with you.

Alright, onwards!

The Realm of Possibility by @porcelainheart3 for @hd-erised 2023 M, 6k

Oh, this was very fun. The concept was unique, and I loved how the author was able to cram so many tropes into this little fic. Love our collective child Teddy. What a kid.

Always The Last To Know by @nv-md for @hd-erised 2023 M, 10.5k

I loved this Draco. The banter was adorable, the scenes were sharp, and the title is very, very accurate.

Blade Of Sun by @lemonlimelea M, 2k

Now, I don't usually read AUs, but this caught my eye immediately with the summary. It's a beautiful, deeply romantic story that is totally worth the read.

Under The Table by @xanthippe74 T, 4k

As someone who once listened to Fiona Apple 228 times in one day after a breakup, I really appreciate the inspiration behind this fic. I love fics that involve a shitty past relationship, and especially love fics that include a shitty current relationship. So, this was a slam dunk for me.

And One To Play by @tackytigerfic for @hpdrizzle 2019 E, 35.8k

I reread this fic this month, and it still ticks a lot of my boxes. Harry's uncontrollable magic, a bit of romance-inducing injury. Truly, a pleasure to read. Also, tackytiger agenda.

Tidings of Comfort by @blamebrampton G, 1.5k

I relate to this Draco a bit too much, and maybe that's why I keep coming back to this fic. I can feel the weather in my bones when I read it.

See you soon! xx, Moon.

2. Faking My Own Death by Chase_fanfics [E, 262k]

►Draco had dealt with enough death to make peace with his own. Getting a handle on his emo angst, he assumed his life would end after Dumbledore’s murder. He didn’t expect to keep living. He didn’t expect to find something, someone left living for. He didn’t expect to reach out to Harry Potter for help. Even more so, Draco didn’t expect to fall in love with him in doing so.

3. The Star Splitter by @oflights [E, 219k]

►On a routine time travel assignment to the past, Draco stumbles upon 7-year-old Harry Potter and witnesses his neglect and mistreatment by the Dursleys. In the moment, there is only one solution, even if it goes against all his training as a Time Agent: he has to bring Harry back to the future with him. /// In which Draco burns his life down for the sake of his former school rival.

4. Tales of the Potters by burningcherries [E, 139k]

A year later, Head Auror Harry Potter resolves to sacrifice a little more of himself in the hope of putting an end to the countless acts of revenge between the two former sides. Following an ancient ritual, if he succeeds in founding a new bloodline with an old enemy, peace will be assured. /// A tale of two young men who are trying, of the wizarding world wonders and of hope in the dark.

5. Antidote for Love by CreateImagineWrite [E, 69k]

►Draco knows Harry is falling out of love with him. He just doesn’t know why.

6. Skybound by @xanthippe74 [T, 60k]

►No matter how much Harry Potter wanted to believe he’d left danger behind when the war ended, it found him again anyway. All he had to do was step out his own front door on a Tuesday morning. [...]

Hi- I’m looking for a fic where Harry testifies for Draco after the war and because they’re mad at Harry, the ministry makes him decide the punishment. Azkaban or removal of his magical core and banishment from Magical society. Harry thinks both are unfair and when the ministry goes to remove Draco’s core with a spell Harry jumps in front of it. They both lose their magic and need to live as muggles. They flee to France and while there fall in love. Draco gets kidnapped by his mother and gets splinched. Harry is frantic with worry and Hermione helps Draco and he has to testify against the ministry.

I’m really hoping you can help find this!! Please and thank you!

We believe you are looking for I Won't Let You Fall Apart by @xanthippe74 (49k, M)

1. It Will Come Back by mxhoneyboy [E, 19k] *typo

►An unfortunate turn of events turned the most tortured soul into the most vile creature. [...] Draco thought he'd developed a pretty good grip on his own morality, but a certain git with a certain scar popped up out of nowhere, seemingly determined to drag him off the well lit path. Draco hoped this wasn't a test, because he was failing horribly.

2. Positive by Almost_Villainous [T, 1k]

►…it couldn’t be. But the three positive pregnancy tests sitting in front of Draco on the bathroom floor begged to differ.

3. Skybound by @xanthippe74 [T, 60k]

Summary:

Clearing out a remote house full of cursed collectibles in the Outer Hebrides? Not a problem for an experienced curse breaker like Harry Potter. Spending a week with the straight, happily-married man that he’s starting to have feelings for? And sharing a bed with him at night? Surely Harry can handle that, too. But both the house and Draco Malfoy have secrets to uncover, and Harry might be in deeper water than he thought.

Excerpt:

“Don’t you think it’s odd that so many of the pieces with curses on them were Muggle?” Harry asks. “From what you’ve told me, it’s almost three-to-one, Muggle to magical.”

“But not all of the pieces made by Muggles in the house are cursed. She seems to have spared the better ones that fate.” Draco sighs. “It’s all very confusing, but I suppose it really isn’t our problem to sort out Erwina’s reasoning, is it?”

“Well, I’m curious. I’ve never had access to so many things that might be cursed by a single person. It’s hard not to try to find a pattern. I wish I’d had Ron teach me how to match magical signatures. I know he learnt in Auror training.”

“Why is that?”

“Some of the curses are old. Maybe even more than twenty years old. Remember I told you? If I knew how to test if two magical signatures match, I could check the curses against something in the house. Something I was sure Erwina cast herself, like the locking spell on a drawer.”

“That’s rather clever,” Draco says, sounding impressed. “But what could you deduce if the signatures didn’t match? That Erwina had an accomplice in her madness?”

“Or maybe she inherited part of her collection. I’d say ninety percent of the items I remove curses from were handed down through multiple generations to my clients. Maybe Erwina happened to have a lot of curse-happy ancestors.”

Harry laughs again but manages to stay on course this time. Draco’s quiet for a few minutes. They’ve passed the last houses of the village and their lights now, so they both draw their wands to cast Lumos charms. Harry notices that Draco’s expression is furrowed in concentration.

“That wouldn’t explain all the Muggle-made objects. Not their presence in Erwina’s collection. I’m not surprised that she had an appreciation for anything with exquisite craftsmanship and beauty. I mean, it wouldn’t explain why she obtained or kept some clearly inferior pieces, only to curse them later.”

Harry shrugs. “Sometimes people just like the way things look, Draco. Even if they’re not stunning examples of exquisite craftsmanship.”

Draco comes to a halt and rounds on Harry with a suppressed smile. “Are you making fun of me? Do you think I’m that much of a snob?”

“I’ve been in your house, remember? I’ve never seen anything in it that isn’t nice. I mean, every single thing is fancy. And they match the other things.” Harry growls impatiently when Draco laughs at his fumbling words. “You know what I mean!”

“That’s all Astoria’s doing. I don’t know anything about decorating. If it were up to me, the house would be as full as Erwina’s with things from the Manor. She was remarkably patient about finding a way to incorporate some of my favourite pieces, such as that small tapestry in the dining room. She understood that it was important to me to have some things from my childhood home.”

“She’s a very nice lady,” Harry says graciously.

“She’s a complete and utter gem, and I still don’t know why she agreed to marry me. I’m not much of a catch,” Draco says, shaking his head. “I’m sure she could have done much better if she’d waited a few years.”

“That’s not true!” Harry cries, more loudly than he intends to.

“Other than financial stability, I’ve never thought I possessed the kind of personal qualities or charms that could explain her decision. I’m quite certain I’ve never done anything to deserve the happiness she’s given me.”

Harry is so dismayed by Draco’s pained expression that he steps forward and wraps his arms around him. Draco grunts in surprise, but carefully returns the embrace.

“You do deserve to be happy,” Harry says fiercely, holding him tightly. “You shouldn’t think that about yourself.”

Draco huffs a bitter laugh next to Harry’s ear. “I know that’s not what everyone else thinks.”

“Well, I think you’re pretty wonderful.”

Harry gives Draco a final squeeze and draws back just enough to see his face, wanting to make Draco understand. He keeps one arm around Draco’s waist and takes hold of his chin with the other, to make sure he’s listening.

“I mean it, Draco,” Harry says.

Draco closes his eyes, giving Harry the opportunity to take in, at a startlingly close range, the smooth planes of Draco’s cheeks, the way his eyebrows arch slightly, the tension in his mouth that’s pushing his lips together.

“Harry—”

As soon as he sees those lips part, Harry can’t stop himself. He tilts forward and presses his mouth to Draco’s, needing to release even a tiny portion of the longing he’s been carrying around for the past few weeks. It’s been building up, making him feel like he’s going to burst sometimes when he looks at Draco.

Harry barely has the chance to register the taste of Draco’s cool lips when he’s gripped by the shoulders and gently, but firmly, pushed back. He keeps his eyes shut, trying to hold onto the sensation of the kiss for as long as he can.

“Are you drunk?” Draco demands.

“No, just a little tipsy…” Harry opens his eyes in horror. “Oh, shit. Oh, fuck. I’m sorry!”

Draco releases his shoulders. He studies Harry for a moment, and Harry wishes he could sink into the ground rather than meet those penetrating grey eyes. Draco doesn’t seem angry, but his expression is rigid and closed off.

“You are definitely drunk. Let’s just get home. Someone’s bound to drive by and see our wandlight if we keep standing here,” Draco says.

Harry follows him, silent and mortified and cursing himself with every step. What the hell was he thinking? He knows the answer to that. All the times he allowed himself to indulge in those inappropriate thoughts about Draco in the past few days undoubtedly brought Harry to this point. He should have quashed them as soon as they arose, even if it never occurred to him that he might do something as rash as kiss Draco.

Oh Merlin, he really fucked up.

Hello good morning afternoons or evenings, I hope you are having a wonderful day! I'm looking for fic Drarry where they both become a safe place for each other or have a strange connection with each other because only they can understand each other.

Hello anon! Oh I love this concept so much, I’m all for comfort fics like that. Here are some stories that came to mind:

A Little Death Never Hurt Anyone by @tackytigerfic (E, 4k)

Harry's getting good at slipping through the Veil. He's determined to win the war, even if means he has to raise the dead to do it. Draco just wants a stiff drink and a good night's sleep.

Thermodynamic Equilibrium by @dorthyanndrarry (T, 5k)

Harry's far too hot. Draco's always cold. And somehow against all odds, together they create a perfect equilibrium.

A Pain of Our Choosing by @lqtraintracks (E, 6k)

It’s 8th year and everyone’s still a bit messed up. Harry and Draco fall into being messed up together.

Glowing by @cavendishbutterfly (T, 10k)

Harry's lived alone and vampiric in his cottage for ages, until a long-lived Draco Malfoy suddenly shows up to answer an advertisement Harry had practically forgotten he'd put in the Prophet. Cue soft blood drinking, quiet nights of reading and crocheting, and Harry thinking that maybe--just maybe--he might not be so alone anymore.

Tidings of Comfort by @blamebrampton (G, 10k)

When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life. Luckily for Draco Malfoy, London has places where the tired can rest and recover.

Nice Things by aideomai (M, 22k)

The first thing that happened was Theodore Nott came back from France.

The Last of What the World Left You by @xanthippe74 (T, 25k)

If the wizarding world won’t give Draco a second chance, he has a plan to survive: live in his Animagus form, a carrion crow, in the Forbidden Forest. Not only does Harry Potter come along and ruin it, he’s radiating a strange aura of power. With nowhere to go and a Life-Debt to his mother that Potter insists on repaying, Draco puts himself into the hands of the reclusive Boy Who Lived. Will the bleak corner of Yorkshire where Potter makes his home be another dead end or an unexpected refuge?

Strange Bedfellows by orphan_account, ravenclawsquill (E, 30k)

When Harry encounters a frail and fidgety Draco Malfoy at the Ministry, he just knows something is wrong and he’s determined to get to the bottom of it.

Holly and Hawthorn, Thistle and Thyme by bryoneybrynn (T, 31k)

After the war, Harry can’t shake the feeling that something is very wrong with him and he has a terrible feeling he knows what that “something” might be. He has a terrible feeling Malfoy might know, too.

Open For Repairs by @drarrytrash (M, 35k)

After the war, Draco works at a tv repair shop and Harry breaks things.

Like Lightning at Your Fingertips by potterwatch (T, 43k)

The problem with living with another insomniac is, eventually, they find out you’re one, too. When Harry and Draco return for their eighth year, they think they’ll see very little of each other. Then McGonagall assigns them to room together. And the castle starts breaking. And there’s that thing with Potter’s magic.

A Room Up There (And You In It) by @the-starryknight (T, 59k)

When Preservationist Draco Malfoy was assigned to work on Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, he was excited to delve into the gorgeous Black family antiques. His excitement quickly ended when something in the House decided it did not like his presence one bit. Featuring a grumpy antiques lover who most certainly did not sign up for this, encounters with a vengeful apparition, and a healthy application of Christmas spirit.

Running on Air by eleventy7 (T, 75k)

Draco Malfoy has been missing for three years. Harry is assigned the cold case and finds himself slowly falling in love with the memories he collects.

Little Deaths and How to Avoid Them (or Draco Malfoy's Guide to Stop Dying and Start Living Instead) by nerakrose, dustmouth (T, 96k)

Malfoy is way too interested in coroner reports for somebody who's definitely not looking for ways to die, Harry wants to be friends with him, and Ginny wants to break up with Harry.

Way Down We Go by @xiaq (T, 109k)

In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town. It's super.

A Sword Laid Aside by @korlaena (E, 128k)

When Draco’s cover is blown during a deep undercover operation and the Ministry is compromised, Ron takes Draco to the only safe place he can think of—Potter. Hiding out with a taciturn Harry Potter, who has been missing from the Wizarding World for almost two decades after a shocking fall from grace, is nothing like Draco thought it would be.

In The Dark by @bixgirl1 (E, WIP)

In the aftermath of an apocalypse, Harry receives an order to find and bring Draco Malfoy nearly a thousand miles, to the tenuous safety of Hogwarts. But more than distance separates them from their goal. The world has fallen, and death is hungry.

Dear Librarian, first thank you so much for your beautiful blog <3 I wanted to ask for a rec of fics hurt/comfort I love this trope and always brings to me warn feelings

Hello! Your holds have arrived!

First, let me thank you in return for your wonderful ask! I love hearing that you've enjoyed my blog! I had not realized how much I LOVE this trope before putting together this list. I could do several lists on this theme, but here I've picked just a few.

Hurt/Comfort

Sinking/Floating by @andithiel (966 words, rated T)

After the war, Harry once again dwells so much on dreams of the past and those he lost, that he forgets to live. Draco helps to remind him.

To Be Okay by @phoebe-delia (275 words, rated T)

When he was nine. “You’re okay, you’re safe, shhh sh sh,” Mother murmured as she held Draco close, wiping away his tears while the nightmare faded into wisps of a memory.

April by @toomuchplor (1,167 words, rated G)

Harry would never have expected it, before they started up together: that the angles and points of Malfoy could soften and coalesce into this gentle patient landing place.

Lay Your Hands by @shealwaysreads (3,022 words, rated E)

Sometimes saving a person is practical. Sometimes it’s something else altogether.

Just A Phone Call Away by @cavendishbutterfly (3,934 words, rated M)

Today’s the day: Harry’s getting over his ridiculous crush on Draco Malfoy. Even if Draco’s just invited himself over to wash Harry’s hair. In a very platonic way, obviously. Not intimate at all. They can just be friends, right?

As it was written by @cavendishbutterfly (4,772 words, rated E)

Harry keeps having nightmares after the war. Someone keeps saving him.

acts of service by @oknowkiss (5,638 words, rated E)

Harry's sick, and Draco just wants to take care of him, but they're two idiots in love, so it couldn't possibly be that easy.

ever-giving heart by @softlystarstruck (6,143 words, rated E)

Harry Potter doesn't ask for help, until he does– desperately, standing on Draco's doorstep.

Draco doesn't intend to get invested. Really.

Five Little Things by @bixgirl1 (6,197 words, rated T)

Harry was supposed to be good at this.

Still by alexmeg (7,388 words, not rated)

Dating Draco Malfoy, Harry thinks, will mean being at arms length outside of sex. No unnecessary physical contact or displays of affection. He wants him anyway, inexplicably. Perhaps that is exactly the kind of person he should be with, someone who will never need Harry to kiss him first, because Harry doesn't think he'll ever be that person.

The Exhale by spqr (7,506 words, rated T)

Hermione makes a soft, concerned sound. "Harry, look at this." She shows him an article with a photo, but the photo's not moving; it must be a Muggle newspaper. "NASA have just landed a rover on Mars. It's called Curiosity, and look, this is so--I don't know if it's sweet or sad, but--it's all alone out there, and they programmed it to sing itself Happy Birthday."

Nothing is wrong, but Harry starts crying.

but first, we fight by @nv-md (8,157 words, rated E)

Fighting with Draco Malfoy has never been quite this thrilling...or this frustrating. Harry's always horny, Draco's in denial, and there simply isn't enough time in the day to fight crime and watch your ex-archnemesis wash his arse.

Statues Crumble by @xanthippe74 and @fictional (13,683 words, rated T)

Between one war and the next, Draco has lost his parents, his home, and his menial Ministry job. All he has left is the secret (and anonymous) work he does to help Harry Potter overthrow another government—oh, and that statue he stole from the Ministry Atrium.

Counter-Curse by Justlikewriting (21,217 words, rated T)

When Harry took his first holiday in years, he decided to spend it house sitting Ron and Hermione’s flat in a Muggle part of London. It should have been easy enough - minding their plants, their Kneazle and their cat - and it would have been, if Harry hadn't seen someone blacking out in the flat opposite on his first day.

Of course, it was just his luck that the man in the other flat turned out to be none other than Draco Malfoy, Assistant Hotel Manager. Of a very Muggle hotel. Which also happened to serve the best cake. Ever.

And then there was this group called Counter-Curse, which was desperately trying to get Harry's attention as well.

Now I Know In Part by @dodgerkedavra (39,840 words, rated E)

Harry Potter is the savior of the Wizarding World. Draco Malfoy is a reformed Death Eater turned Ministry Curse-Breaker. Five years after the War, they're brought together by another mysterious curse.

Only this time, Harry's the one who needs saving.

It actually hurts by @parkkate (51,973 words, rated E)

For years, Draco has tried to avoid Harry Potter. He just knows he’ll make a fool out of himself if they spent more than five minutes in a room together. Unfortunately, Potter suddenly seems intent on becoming Draco’s friend, but neither of them are prepared for the inevitable consequences...

Your Soul Sat on My Lips by @m0srael (61,581 words, rated E)

Sometimes, two broken men can love one another whole again, and sometimes they can’t. That doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to try.
