A drabble for the @drarrymicrofic weekly challenge (and Summer Bingo!) Prompt: Reflection

Bingo Squares Collected: Soulmates (barely), Found Family, No Adverbs

Harry smiled, his gaze bouncing from one pseudo-brother to the next. He’d had so much decided for him; his future, his destiny, his soulmate, but he found it was much easier to choose his family than he’d thought. He squeezed Draco’s hand as he reflected on his miserable childhood, pleased he’d found his way to a happier, fulfilling life.

✏️ 🖋️ Artist and Author: @lemonlans (artist) and @shewritesmaybe (author)

🎵 Song Prompt: Sunrise by Norah Jones  🎵 Summary: The war is over, but Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter are still locked into the roles the Wizarding World wants them to play. It's tiresome, really.  ********************************************  “Do you think, Draco - do you think we’ll just…?” Harry started, stopped, started again. “Keep doing this?”  Draco glanced at him curiously. “This?”  “These… these almosts. A party. A garden. A wet street during the witching hour.”  Draco was quiet for a long moment, and when they approached a luxury flat, he pulled over to the side of the building. “This is me, then, Harry. And maybe. You always seem to find me in the dark.”  Harry looked at him. “You pretend during the day. In the dark you’re… you-ier.”

🎶 H/D Wireless Fic 🎶

📻 Hope was new [T, 9,424]

🖋️ Author: Charlotte_Stant @boxboxlewis

🎵 Song Prompt: My Favourite Game by the Cardigans  🎵 Summary: Malfoy looked terrible. The cut on his cheek was puckered and oozing, and the knobs of his shoulders poked through his t-shirt. But he was talking as if he was still the golden boy of Hogwarts: as if he was the heir to every nice thing in the world. Harry felt furiously angry all of a sudden. “How about ‘Thank you, Harry’?” he said. “How about, ‘Wow, it was very considerate of you to keep me out of prison, sorry I never acknowledged it, that was really rude of me’? You’re sitting here in my house insulting me, and you haven’t even put the kettle on. ”  To his surprise, Malfoy started to laugh. It wasn’t a very nice laugh.

📻 The Night Shift [Explicit, 16,100]

📻 My Favorite Liar [E, 43,160]

🖋️ Author: Poppyhills @upon-poppyhills

🎵 Song Prompt: My Favorite Liar by The Wrecks  🎵 Summary: It’s Pansy’s fault, really, for inviting Draco’s Quidditch star ex and his new boytoy to her wedding cruise. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and nothing is more desperate than asking the only other wizard in England who can compete in both looks and fame to fake being in love with him for seven days.  The fact that Potter is also his boss, roommate, and occasional friend should make it easier.  So Draco has it handled. Everything is fine.  Draco's an exceptional liar and Potter is…well, admittedly Potter is becoming a problem.

📻 Signs of a Lifetime [T, 1,758]

🖋️ Author: sezzabean @frank-lilac

📻 Bathed in Starlight, Shrouded in Truth [T, 5,574]

🖋️ Author: @devious--muffin

🎵 Song Prompt: Stargazing by Myles Smith  🎵 Summary: After the war, both Harry and Draco are willing to shed their old prejudices and grow as individuals, forming a tentative friendship. They remain friendly after Hogwarts, though no more in each other's lives than when they were in the castle together, until several independent decisions bring them back into each other's orbit. Once Harry gets out of his own way, he realizes how deep his feelings for Draco actually run, but it takes far longer for Draco to do the same.

📻 wonders bright [M, 7,160]

🖋️ Author: @the-invisibility-bloke

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Take A Chance On Me' by 'ABBA'  🎵 Summary: Auror Harry is newly divorced and deals with the aftermath while trying to solve a difficult case. Robards is being annoyingly over-protective. And, naturally, confirmed bachelor Draco Malfoy is in the middle of it all.

📻 shake the disease [E, 70,012]

🖋️ Author: lealam @gregqoyle

🎵 Song Prompt: shake the disease by depeche mode  🎵 Summary: After Draco gets one too many complaints at work, Harry gets assigned to the job of preventing any more. Only, he discovers things are far more complicated than they seem, with corrupt Aurors, a society on the brink of collapse and a magical disease slowly draining the life from Draco.

📻 Ankles [E, 36,787]

🖋️ Author: @citrusses

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Ankles' by 'Lucy Dacus'  🎵 Summary: Of course Harry feels weird that Draco and Neville got engaged—they’re only twenty-six years old. What’s the rush? And to make matters worse, ever since Neville and Draco’s very odd, very Pureblood engagement party, something is off between Draco and Harry. There’s no logical reason the engagement would change things between them. Draco’s just his friend. Isn’t he?

📻 That's (That Draco) Espresso [E, 25,653]

🖋️ Author: @ravenesse

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Espresso' by Sabrina Carpenter  🎵 Summary: When Draco unexpectedly shows up in Harry’s life after the war, Harry finds himself obsessed with him all over again.  It definitely doesn’t help that the blonde git has become a massive global superstar, performing hit songs from his award-winning albums, night after night on his world tour, which sold out in less than a day.  The fact that they are forced to work together on a special collaboration to promote Harry’s unique brand of creature-friendly espresso won’t change anything at all between them.  Or so the two of them firmly believe, until they see each other again in person.

📻 all up in it [E, 7,109]

🖋️ Author: @poljupci

🎵 Song Prompt: Guess (ft. Billie) by CharlieXCX  🎵 Summary: Draco folds the panties into a white box with a shiny bow on top. There is no note; Potter knows his owl.

📻 All The Noise [M, 37,589]

🖋️ Author: @draco-abraxas

🎵 Song Prompt: Bees by The Ballroom Thieves  🎵 Summary: There's a simple solution to all these problems. Draco could find it if he tried. But he's too busy walking into the lion's mouth, too busy trying to solve the problem before it's too late, too busy to hear Harry tell him that it's all going to be okay.

📻 Promise Not to Stop [E, 2,023 ]

🖋️ Author: @maraudersaffair

🎵 Song Prompt: "Everlong" by "Foo Fighters"  🎵 Summary: Draco loves it when Auror Potter degrades him.

📻 Chasing a Life [Gen, 5,068]

🖋️ Author: Dazeventura6

🎵 Song Prompt: Breath of Life by Florence + The Machine  🎵 Summary: Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts is off to a terrible start, but maybe an unexpected friendship can make a difference and change the course of his life...for the better.

📻 Talk To Me In French [E, 64,639]

🖋️ Author: Fluffy_underneath @Fluffyequivalent1

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Talk Talk featuring troye sivan' by 'Charli XCX'  🎵 Summary: Harry is full of confidence as he enters the French Ministry on a sunny June morning. He's prepared for this meeting. Overprepared, in fact. Ready for any question they can throw at him. Primed for success.  But as it turns out, there’s one thing Harry couldn’t prepare for: his interpreter. The person assigned to whisper in his ear all week; the distractingly sexy bastard with a smirking mouth and clever tongue.  Apparently, Harry's mission this week isn't just to bring the Quidditch World Cup home to England; it's to do it without falling in love with Draco bloody Malfoy.  Or  Harry falls in love in Paris.

📻 Leave in the Morning [M, 23,922]

🖋️ Author: Justlikewriting 

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Smalltown Boy' by 'Bronski Beat'  🎵 Summary: Draco hadn’t chosen the easy way out. He’d defied his parents and created his own path: whatever people thought, however little money he had, he had built a life for himself. And it was difficult. Hard. But more than he deserved.  Meanwhile, Harry had done exactly what had been expected of him, had moulded his life entirely the way he’d been supposed to. But then Ginny had left him anyway. And it was difficult. Unfair. And not at all what he’d expected.  Which was when he saw Draco Malfoy, clearly not particularly welcome, walking into the Ministry on a Friday afternoon nonetheless.

📻 After the Rain [T, 2,316 ]

🖋️ Author: @skeptiquewrites

🎵 Song Prompt: So Tied Up by Cold War Kids  🎵 Summary: A past betrayal, dark Magic remnants, and the questions left after time apart.

📻 I Ain't Afraid Of No Bed [E, 13,489]

🖋️ Author: @xalandrix

🎵 Song Prompt: Bustin by Neil Cicierega  🎵 Summary: Ghostly sexual extortion is simply an occupational hazard in this line of work.

📻 Shades of Sundawn [E, 32,520]

🖋️ Author: @rainjulyx

🎵 Song Prompt: Afterglow by Ed Sheeran  🎵 Summary: In the shades of sundawn, Harry fell in love. But shhh! Keep that for yourself, Harry doesn't know it yet.  Or: It takes a decade long unaddressed flirting, unacknowledged yearning, and defiantly dancing around each other for Harry to finally face the truth of his hatred.

📻 The Blush [E, 15,878]

🖋️ Author: @Willowingscribe

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Here You Come Again' by Dolly Parton  🎵 Summary: Harry knows a terrible secret about Draco Malfoy.  Terrible in that it's entirely implausible and also makes sense in a frightening kind of way. Terrible because it steals Harry’s breath and then later his sleep, grows into an ache inside his chest. All the more awful because he can't tell anybody about it without having to give his own secret away.  Malfoy blushes when Harry flirts with him. And Harry is addicted to making it happen as often as possible.

📻 Better Than None [E, 20,025]

🖋️ Author: @use-it-well

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Kiss With A Fist' by 'Florence and the Machine'  🎵 Summary: So much had changed on Harry’s return to Hogwarts that it was a relief to find himself almost immediately fighting with Malfoy. And when those fights turned to a different kind of contact, who was Harry to resist? And if the only way Harry could get to feel Malfoy’s body against his own again was to goad him into a fight, what else could he do? After all, a kiss with a fist is better than none.

📻 Let the Air In [E, 66,666]

🖋️ Author: Theartfulldodger @graymatters

🎵 Song Prompt: Big Wheel by Samia  🎵 Summary: Draco does only ever as he wants, and especially when it's a test.

📻 Be with Me [E, 2,200]

🖋️ Author: @nv-md

🎵 Song Prompt: Beneath Oak Trees by Dylan Gossett  🎵 Summary: Draco and Harry are in love. That's it, that's the whole plot.

📻 This Moment's Silence [E, 8,175]

🖋️ Author: @lightningrogers

🎵 Song Prompt: Moment's Silence (Common Tongue) by Hozier  🎵 Summary: “Why are you here, Potter?”  “Bored, I guess. Why are you calling me Potter, Draco?”  “Because,” Draco hisses, his face twisted in a familiar grimace. “The other night was a mistake. That’s what you are to me. What you’ve always been.”  “Hm,” Harry hums. “I find that really hard to believe.”  Or: Harry knows he’s upended Draco’s serene life—and their tentative friendship—at Hogwarts after a single, seemingly mistaken night. He wants to pursue it, Draco wants to forget it. Whatever it is.  If Harry loves anything though, it’s a challenge, and Draco’s one he wants to pull apart more than anything.

📻 Certified Mind Blower [M, 9,119]

🖋️ Author: @moonflower-rose

🎵 Song Prompt: No. 1 Party Anthem by Arctic Monkeys  🎵 Summary: The sun rises as their night ends, and as good as it feels to be young and drunk and surrounded by his friends (even the ones whose names he can't quite remember), Harry thinks it could be just a little bit better. And if Malfoy shows up at the club tonight, Harry might finally try to make it happen.

📻 Something to Save [M, 44,538]

🖋️ Author: @lovelyloveliesss

🎵 Song Prompt: Your Ex-Lover is Dead  🎵 Summary: After a confusing Eighth year at Hogwarts, Draco returns to the manor and Harry doesn’t see him again. That is, until they stumble upon each other in muggle London six years later, now living completely different lives.  A story built on both the past and the present. About holding on and letting go.

📻 Tiny but Mighty [E, 8,361]

🖋️ Author: meandminniemcg 

🎵 Song Prompt: 'It Must Have Been Love' by 'Roxette'  🎵 Summary: They had a perfect, beautiful summer while working on Eilean nan Dragòn. But now it's September, and their escape from reality is over.

🖋️ Author: @albondiguilla007

🎵 Song Prompt: “Young, Wild & Free,” by Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Bruno Mars  🎵 Summary: Harry Potter is a disaster. Draco still wants him.

📻 Go Easy On Me [T, 5,500]

🖋️ Author: @phoebe-delia

📻 Green Eyes (You Were Swimming in My Mind Before You Told Me So) [E, 14,731]

🖋️ Author: @bluedahlia912

🎵 Song Prompt: "Green Eyes:: Siena" by Nothing But Thieves  🎵 Summary: “I hear you’ll be joining us at Hogwarts this year,” said a smooth voice from just beside him. Harry groaned, rolling his eyes to the ceiling.  “You seem excited about it,” Malfoy said sarcastically.  “I am excited about it,” Harry said through gritted teeth. “I am not, however, excited about you.”  *****  Worn paths and opportunities missed, Harry isn’t going to let this second chance slip through his fingers. He just doesn’t know it yet.

📻 simmer down, pucker up [E, 16,406]

🖋️ Author: @wolfpadx

🎵 Song Prompt: Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys  🎵 Summary: Every time Harry and Draco are in the same room, it’s like this: combative. competitive. teasing. fun. Harry’s never thought much of it—not in any way he’d admit to another soul or in the light of day—but when an impromptu party at Harry’s house has their friends giving voice to the tension they’ve never named, Harry can’t help but wonder… does this feeling flow both ways?

📻 Floating Vibes [E, 19,225]

🖋️ Author: @wolfpants

🎵 Song Prompt: Floating Vibes by Surfer Blood 🎵 Summary: It’s tradition: a group holiday, and Harry making terrible decisions. Mostly involving Draco. What starts as an experimental hookup quickly becomes a lot more complicated than either of them expected.

📻 Fight so dirty, but you love so sweet [E, 11,783]

🖋️ Author: @drwhoisginnyholmes

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Teeth' by '5 Seconds of Summer'  🎵 Summary: Every time Draco and Harry run into each other they end up fighting, however, not many people know that after a while, the fighting turned into something more pleasurable. But they still hate each other, right?

📻 Take The Lead [E, 39,347]

🖋️ Author: @peachydreamxx

🎵 Song Prompt: looking at me by sabrina carpenter  🎵 Summary: When an unfortunate health-related mishap occurs in the middle of the pre-season game, professional Quidditch Chaser Potter is left benched before the season has even started.

🖋️ Author: @sweet-s0rr0w

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Love Shack' by 'the B52s' 🎵 Summary: “Ah yes,” the Portkey officer says, his flush deepening. “That’s the problem, you see. Everywhere’s booked up, what with it being end of term and all. I have found you… something, though.”  “And when you say you, I presume you’re referring to the both of us?” asks Draco, the words coming out clipped, dangerously precise.  The little man glances pleadingly at Harry, then wipes his brow. “Look, I hadn’t realised there’d be–”  Harry’s cold, and hungry, and his bum’s starting to ache. “Come on, Draco,” he says abruptly, getting to his feet. “It’s just one night. I’m sure we can manage to share a room.”

📻 Portions For Foxes [E, 27,921]

🖋️ Author: LoveofLiminality @autumnrae93

🎵 Song Prompt: Portions for Foxes by Rilo Kiley  🎵 Summary: Draco was an idiot. But in his defense, he felt he deserved to be. The more he looked back, the more he saw that he had always been an idiot when it came to Potter. From the first time they had met in Madam Malkin's, Draco hadn't known what to do.

📻 They “Don’t” Know About Us [M, 25,849]

🖋️ Author: @quillandmagic

🎵 Song Prompt: They Don’t Know About Us by One Directions  🎵 Summary: Harry and Draco start dating at the end of 8th year and decide to keep it a secret while they figure out life post-Hogwarts.

🖋️ Author: @dodgerkedavra

🎵 Song Prompt: A Little Bit of Everything by Dawes  🎵 Summary: Harry's not going to jump off the tip-top of Tower Bridge. He's only, like, checking it out. He doesn't need to be rescued.  His ex-almost-fiancé Draco Malfoy disagrees.

📻 The Last Will and Testament of Father [Teen, 24,720]

🖋️ Author: @iero0

🎵 Song Prompt: §1 by Opeth  🎵 Summary: Lucius Malfoy is dead.  The last thing Harry expects is an invitation to the reading of his will—let alone a handwritten note tucked inside: Bring the hawthorn wand. Please. The last word is written with care, but also force—like it cost Draco something to ask.  It doesn’t feel like a good idea, returning to Malfoy Manor. But when Harry thumbs the wand he’s carried since the war, he knows he’ll go.  When the house comes to life and refuses Draco as its heir, he’s abandoned by everyone but Harry. Together, they descend into a place where memory becomes magic, the walls remember everything, and the past refuses to stay buried.

🎶 H/D Wireless Podfic 🎶

📻 Shut Up, This Is Love [Mature, 03:15:44]

🎤 Podficcer: @reveriepi

🎵 Song Prompt: 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac  🎵 Summary: A soulmark is never wrong, Draco tells him — as if Harry cares what this damn chain on his arm says. But Harry is nothing if not stubborn, and he’d rather die than let a stupid mark determine whom he can and cannot have.  Podfic of Shut Up, This Is Love by MyNameIsThunder. 

📻 Take You Home [E, 2:53:31 ]

🎤 Podficcer: @cailynwrites

🎵 Song Prompt: Take you home - Dido 🎵 Summary: Everybody’s a little fucked up after the war, Draco especially. What starts as hate sex after a night out, eventually turns into something else, something more like comfort. And even though his friends all tell Harry he’s just being used, all Harry’s doing is making sure Draco gets home in one piece. He’s not falling helplessly in love.

Endurance

A drabble for the @drarrymicrofic weekly challenge (and Summer Bingo!) Prompt: Ink

Bingo Squares collected: 100 words, Master of Death, MCD

T/W: Death and Grief

Harry searched his reflection for a bit of unblemished skin; he had a new tattoo to get. The habit began when Draco died, their future cut short by a bigot with a wand, and Harry couldn’t cope with the unyielding grief, so he commissioned a permanent reminder of his greatest love, inked directly over his heart. Death was cruel, and being the Master of it even more so. He was fated to watch as his loved ones passed, commemorating each with a new piece of art on his skin as he bitterly guarded his mantle. Soon, no space would remain.

But he was talking as if he was still the golden boy of Hogwarts: as if he was the heir to every nice thing in the world. Harry felt furiously angry all of a sudden. “How about ‘Thank you, Harry’?” he said. “How about, ‘Wow, it was very considerate of you to keep me out of prison, sorry I never acknowledged it, that was really rude of me’? You’re sitting here in my house insulting me, and you haven’t even put the kettle on. ”  To his surprise, Malfoy started to laugh. It wasn’t a very nice laugh.

📻 The Night Shift [Explicit, 16,100]

🎵 Song Prompt: Night Shift by Lucy Dacus 🎵 Summary: It turns out Harry’s new Auror partner is a vampire.  Might’ve been polite for someone to let him know.

🎵 Song Prompt: Revelry by Kings of Leon  🎵 Summary: "In the dark of the night, I can hear you calling my name With the hardest of hearts, I still feel full of pain So I drink and I smoke and I ask if you're ever around  Even though it was me who drove us right in the ground!" - Revelry by King's of Leon  With Harry’s return to Oxford closing in, thoughts of his summer trip to France with his godfather—and the whirlwind romance he didn’t see coming—consume him.

📻 My Favorite Liar [E, 43,160]

🎵 Song Prompt: My Favorite Liar by The Wrecks  🎵 Summary: It’s Pansy’s fault, really, for inviting Draco’s Quidditch star ex and his new boytoy to her wedding cruise. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and nothing is more desperate than asking the only other wizard in England who can compete in both looks and fame to fake being in love with him for seven days.  The fact that Potter is also his boss, roommate, and occasional friend should make it easier.  So Draco has it handled. Everything is fine.  Draco's an exceptional liar and Potter is…well, admittedly Potter is becoming a problem.

📻 Signs of a Lifetime [T, 1,758]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Bed Chem' by Sabrina Carpenter  🎵 Summary: Against his better judgement, Harry agrees to appear on WENIS – a charity gameshow designed to lead contestants to the deepest desires of their hearts, while also showcasing Wheezes’ new line of adult products.  The aphrodisiac tea quickly gets the better of him.  So does Malfoy.

📻 Bathed in Starlight, Shrouded in Truth [T, 5,574]

🎵 Song Prompt: Stargazing by Myles Smith  🎵 Summary: After the war, both Harry and Draco are willing to shed their old prejudices and grow as individuals, forming a tentative friendship. They remain friendly after Hogwarts, though no more in each other's lives than when they were in the castle together, until several independent decisions bring them back into each other's orbit. Once Harry gets out of his own way, he realizes how deep his feelings for Draco actually run, but it takes far longer for Draco to do the same.

📻 wonders bright [M, 7,160]

📻 in the wells of silence [E, 35,788]

🎵 Song Prompt: The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel (cover by Disturbed)  🎵 Summary: In a challenge to see who can shut up the longest, Harry and Draco stop speaking. Shame that’s not enough to stop them falling in love.

📻 First In Line [M, 14,420]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Take A Chance On Me' by ABBA 🎵 Summary: Auror Harry is newly divorced and deals with the aftermath while trying to solve a difficult case. Robards is being annoyingly over-protective. And, naturally, confirmed bachelor Draco Malfoy is in the middle of it all.

🎵 Song Prompt: Shake the Disease by Depeche Mode  🎵 Summary: After Draco gets one too many complaints at work, Harry gets assigned to the job of preventing any more. Only, he discovers things are far more complicated than they seem, with corrupt Aurors, a society on the brink of collapse and a magical disease slowly draining the life from Draco.

📻 Ankles [E, 36,787]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Ankles' by Lucy Dacus 🎵 Summary: Of course Harry feels weird that Draco and Neville got engaged—they’re only twenty-six years old. What’s the rush? And to make matters worse, ever since Neville and Draco’s very odd, very Pureblood engagement party, something is off between Draco and Harry. There’s no logical reason the engagement would change things between them. Draco’s just his friend. Isn’t he?

📻 That's (That Draco) Espresso [E, 25,653]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Espresso' by Sabrina Carpenter  🎵 Summary: When Draco unexpectedly shows up in Harry’s life after the war, Harry finds himself obsessed with him all over again.  It definitely doesn’t help that the blonde git has become a massive global superstar, performing hit songs from his award-winning albums, night after night on his world tour, which sold out in less than a day.  The fact that they are forced to work together on a special collaboration to promote Harry’s unique brand of creature-friendly espresso won’t change anything at all between them.  Or so the two of them firmly believe, until they see each other again in person.

📻 all up in it [E, 7,109]

🎵 Song Prompt: Guess (ft. Billie) by CharlieXCX  🎵 Summary: Draco folds the panties into a white box with a shiny bow on top. There is no note; Potter knows his owl.

📻 All The Noise [M, 37,589]

🎵 Song Prompt: Bees by The Ballroom Thieves  🎵 Summary: There's a simple solution to all these problems. Draco could find it if he tried. But he's too busy walking into the lion's mouth, too busy trying to solve the problem before it's too late, too busy to hear Harry tell him that it's all going to be okay.

📻 Promise Not to Stop [E, 2,023 ]

📻 Chasing a Life [Gen, 5,068]

🎵 Song Prompt: Breath of Life by Florence + The Machine  🎵 Summary: Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts is off to a terrible start, but maybe an unexpected friendship can make a difference and change the course of his life...for the better.

📻 Talk To Me In French [E, 64,639]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Talk Talk featuring troye sivan' by Charli XCX 🎵 Summary: Harry is full of confidence as he enters the French Ministry on a sunny June morning. He's prepared for this meeting. Overprepared, in fact. Ready for any question they can throw at him. Primed for success.  But as it turns out, there’s one thing Harry couldn’t prepare for: his interpreter. The person assigned to whisper in his ear all week; the distractingly sexy bastard with a smirking mouth and clever tongue.  Apparently, Harry's mission this week isn't just to bring the Quidditch World Cup home to England; it's to do it without falling in love with Draco bloody Malfoy.  Or  Harry falls in love in Paris.

📻 Leave in the Morning [M, 23,922]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Smalltown Boy' by Bronski Beat 🎵 Summary: Draco hadn’t chosen the easy way out. He’d defied his parents and created his own path: whatever people thought, however little money he had, he had built a life for himself. And it was difficult. Hard. But more than he deserved.  Meanwhile, Harry had done exactly what had been expected of him, had moulded his life entirely the way he’d been supposed to. But then Ginny had left him anyway. And it was difficult. Unfair. And not at all what he’d expected.  Which was when he saw Draco Malfoy, clearly not particularly welcome, walking into the Ministry on a Friday afternoon nonetheless.

📻 After the Rain [T, 2,316 ]

🎵 Song Prompt: So Tied Up by Cold War Kids  🎵 Summary: A past betrayal, dark Magic remnants, and the questions left after time apart.

📻 I Ain't Afraid Of No Bed [E, 13,489]

🎵 Song Prompt: Bustin by Neil Cicierega  🎵 Summary: Ghostly sexual extortion is simply an occupational hazard in this line of work.

📻 Shades of Sundawn [E, 32,520]

🎵 Song Prompt: Afterglow by Ed Sheeran  🎵 Summary: In the shades of sundawn, Harry fell in love. But shhh! Keep that for yourself, Harry doesn't know it yet.  Or: It takes a decade long unaddressed flirting, unacknowledged yearning, and defiantly dancing around each other for Harry to finally face the truth of his hatred.

📻 The Blush [E, 15,878]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Here You Come Again' by Dolly Parton  🎵 Summary: Harry knows a terrible secret about Draco Malfoy.  Terrible in that it's entirely implausible and also makes sense in a frightening kind of way. Terrible because it steals Harry’s breath and then later his sleep, grows into an ache inside his chest. All the more awful because he can't tell anybody about it without having to give his own secret away.  Malfoy blushes when Harry flirts with him. And Harry is addicted to making it happen as often as possible.

📻 Better Than None [E, 20,025]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Kiss With A Fist' by Florence and the Machine 🎵 Summary: So much had changed on Harry’s return to Hogwarts that it was a relief to find himself almost immediately fighting with Malfoy. And when those fights turned to a different kind of contact, who was Harry to resist? And if the only way Harry could get to feel Malfoy’s body against his own again was to goad him into a fight, what else could he do? After all, a kiss with a fist is better than none.

📻 Let the Air In [E, 66,666]

🎵 Song Prompt: Big Wheel by Samia  🎵 Summary: Draco does only ever as he wants, and especially when it's a test.

📻 Be with Me [E, 2,200]

🎵 Song Prompt: Beneath Oak Trees by Dylan Gossett  🎵 Summary: Draco and Harry are in love. That's it, that's the whole plot.

📻 This Moment's Silence [E, 8,175]

🎵 Song Prompt: Moment's Silence (Common Tongue) by Hozier  🎵 Summary: “Why are you here, Potter?”  “Bored, I guess. Why are you calling me Potter, Draco?”  “Because,” Draco hisses, his face twisted in a familiar grimace. “The other night was a mistake. That’s what you are to me. What you’ve always been.”  “Hm,” Harry hums. “I find that really hard to believe.”  Or: Harry knows he’s upended Draco’s serene life—and their tentative friendship—at Hogwarts after a single, seemingly mistaken night. He wants to pursue it, Draco wants to forget it. Whatever it is.  If Harry loves anything though, it’s a challenge, and Draco’s one he wants to pull apart more than anything.

📻 Certified Mind Blower [M, 9,119]

🎵 Song Prompt: No. 1 Party Anthem by Arctic Monkeys  🎵 Summary: The sun rises as their night ends, and as good as it feels to be young and drunk and surrounded by his friends (even the ones whose names he can't quite remember), Harry thinks it could be just a little bit better. And if Malfoy shows up at the club tonight, Harry might finally try to make it happen.

📻 Something to Save [M, 44,538]

🎵 Song Prompt: Your Ex-Lover is Dead by Stars 🎵 Summary: After a confusing Eighth year at Hogwarts, Draco returns to the manor and Harry doesn’t see him again. That is, until they stumble upon each other in muggle London six years later, now living completely different lives.  A story built on both the past and the present. About holding on and letting go.

📻 Tiny but Mighty [E, 8,361]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'It Must Have Been Love' by Roxette 🎵 Summary: They had a perfect, beautiful summer while working on Eilean nan Dragòn. But now it's September, and their escape from reality is over.

📻 Longbottom’s Garden and Other Muggle Drugs [M, 9,342]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Young, Wild & Free' by Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Bruno Mars  🎵 Summary: Harry Potter is a disaster. Draco still wants him.

📻 Go Easy On Me [T, 5,500]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Easy On Me' by Adele 🎵 Summary: They’re not divorced; they’re separated. It’s an important distinction.

📻 Green Eyes (You Were Swimming in My Mind Before You Told Me So) [E, 14,731]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Green Eyes:: Siena' by Nothing But Thieves  🎵 Summary: “I hear you’ll be joining us at Hogwarts this year,” said a smooth voice from just beside him. Harry groaned, rolling his eyes to the ceiling.  “You seem excited about it,” Malfoy said sarcastically.  “I am excited about it,” Harry said through gritted teeth. “I am not, however, excited about you.”  *****  Worn paths and opportunities missed, Harry isn’t going to let this second chance slip through his fingers. He just doesn’t know it yet.

📻 simmer down, pucker up [E, 16,406]

🎵 Song Prompt: Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys  🎵 Summary: Every time Harry and Draco are in the same room, it’s like this: combative. competitive. teasing. fun. Harry’s never thought much of it—not in any way he’d admit to another soul or in the light of day—but when an impromptu party at Harry’s house has their friends giving voice to the tension they’ve never named, Harry can’t help but wonder… does this feeling flow both ways?

📻 Floating Vibes [E, 19,225]

🎵 Song Prompt: Floating Vibes by Surfer Blood 🎵 Summary: It’s tradition: a group holiday, and Harry making terrible decisions. Mostly involving Draco. What starts as an experimental hookup quickly becomes a lot more complicated than either of them expected.

📻 Fight so dirty, but you love so sweet [E, 11,783]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Teeth' by 5 Seconds of Summer 🎵 Summary: Every time Draco and Harry run into each other they end up fighting, however, not many people know that after a while, the fighting turned into something more pleasurable. But they still hate each other, right?

📻 Take The Lead [E, 39,347]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Looking at me' by Sabrina Carpenter  🎵 Summary: When an unfortunate health-related mishap occurs in the middle of the pre-season game, professional Quidditch Chaser Potter is left benched before the season has even started. But it's not all doom and gloom. He's tasked with mentoring the team's last-minute replacement - Draco Malfoy.

📻 something unholy [E, 25,195]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Unholy' by Sam Smith and Kim Petras 🎵 Summary: It's 2008 and Harry finally has the picture-perfect family he always dreamed of. If only he knew how to keep his business clean.

📻 What Heat [E, 5,716]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Plume' by the Smashing Pumpkins  🎵 Summary: Ever since the potion exploded, Harry can't cool down.

📻 Puddifoot’s Passion Parlour [E, 10196]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Love Shack' by the B52s 🎵 Summary: “Ah yes,” the Portkey officer says, his flush deepening. “That’s the problem, you see. Everywhere’s booked up, what with it being end of term and all. I have found you… something, though.”  “And when you say you, I presume you’re referring to the both of us?” asks Draco, the words coming out clipped, dangerously precise.  The little man glances pleadingly at Harry, then wipes his brow. “Look, I hadn’t realised there’d be–”  Harry’s cold, and hungry, and his bum’s starting to ache. “Come on, Draco,” he says abruptly, getting to his feet. “It’s just one night. I’m sure we can manage to share a room.”

📻 Portions For Foxes [E, 27,921]

🎵 Song Prompt: Portions for Foxes by Rilo Kiley  🎵 Summary: Draco was an idiot. But in his defense, he felt he deserved to be. The more he looked back, the more he saw that he had always been an idiot when it came to Potter. From the first time they had met in Madam Malkin's, Draco hadn't known what to do.

📻 They “Don’t” Know About Us [M, 25,849]

🎵 Song Prompt: They Don’t Know About Us by One Directions  🎵 Summary: Harry and Draco start dating at the end of 8th year and decide to keep it a secret while they figure out life post-Hogwarts. Unfortunately, they are both terrible at being sneaky.  Featuring: acceptance in the form of threats, goats as bribes, and the two-dimensional nature of silencing charms.

📻 A Little Bit of Everything [E, 33,088]

🎵 Song Prompt: A Little Bit of Everything by Dawes  🎵 Summary: Harry's not going to jump off the tip-top of Tower Bridge. He's only, like, checking it out. He doesn't need to be rescued.  His ex-almost-fiancé Draco Malfoy disagrees.

📻 The Last Will and Testament of Father [Teen, 24,720]

🎵 Song Prompt: §1 by Opeth  🎵 Summary: Lucius Malfoy is dead.  The last thing Harry expects is an invitation to the reading of his will—let alone a handwritten note tucked inside: Bring the hawthorn wand. Please. The last word is written with care, but also force—like it cost Draco something to ask.  It doesn’t feel like a good idea, returning to Malfoy Manor. But when Harry thumbs the wand he’s carried since the war, he knows he’ll go.  When the house comes to life and refuses Draco as its heir, he’s abandoned by everyone but Harry. Together, they descend into a place where memory becomes magic, the walls remember everything, and the past refuses to stay buried.

📻 Shut Up, This Is Love [Mature, 03:15:44]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac  🎵 Summary: A soulmark is never wrong, Draco tells him — as if Harry cares what this damn chain on his arm says. But Harry is nothing if not stubborn, and he’d rather die than let a stupid mark determine whom he can and cannot have.  (Podfic of Shut Up, This Is Love by MyNameIsThunder)

📻 Take You Home [E, 2:53:31 ]

🎵 Song Prompt: Take you home - Dido 🎵 Summary: Everybody’s a little fucked up after the war, Draco especially. What starts as hate sex after a night out, eventually turns into something else, something more like comfort. And even though his friends all tell Harry he’s just being used, all Harry’s doing is making sure Draco gets home in one piece. He’s not falling helplessly in love. (Podfic of Take You Home by lq_traintracks)

Development and Restoration

A one-shot for the @drarrymicrofic weekly challenge (and Summer Bingo!) Prompt: Rebuild

Bingo Squares collected with this fic: Pining, Roommates, Unusual Jobs (barely), Epistolary, and Fighting to Fucking

Dear Charlie,

I’m not saying you were right, but I should have taken you up on your offer. I thought I could disappear for a while and do some good, hide from the world while I help restore Hogwarts. While I am doing that, I’ve somehow found myself tied to Malfoy, of all people. He’s here too, probably mandated by the Wizengamot, and not only have we been partnered together on a project, but we have to share quarters. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I can’t stand his pompous arse; it’s only been one night, and he’s already driven me out of the room with his bitching about cleanliness and order. How am I possibly going to keep my sanity?

-Harry

Dear Blaise,

I hope Italy is treating you well. I’m pleased to hear that you’ve made it safely, and I look forward to visiting as soon as my probationary period is up. You’ve likely heard, but I’ve been given the option to either return to Azkaban for six months, or assist in rebuilding Hogwarts. I’m sure you can imagine which one I chose. No, manual labor doesn’t appeal to me, but it certainly beats the alternative.

One thing I hadn’t considered when selecting this option was who else might be involved. Potter is here because, of course he is. He can’t keep himself from any philanthropic project, can he? We’ve been assigned to the same section, as well as the same quarters. If you don’t hear from me in a few weeks, please assume that one of us is dead and the other in Azkaban. (Though, would they really put the Savior of the Wizarding World in Azkaban?)

-DLM

Pans,

You won’t believe it. I’m living with Harry. Living with him! I can’t possibly express my enthusiasm in mere words. What if I see him in his pants? Merlin, I might have to AK myself, because my reaction will not be normal. I’m sleeping in the same room as him. I’m sharing his air, Pans! He’s a little messy, but I can fix him. Oh, and we’re working together to restore the Astronomy Tower, too! It’s just us, so we’re alone together basically all day every day. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself.

-Draco

Dear Charlie,

The first thing I did was ask McGonagall for a room and assignment change. Do you know what she said to me? “We’re all adults, Mr. Potter. It’s time you two act like it.” What a load of bullshite. I’m sure she’ll feel differently when one of us kills the other in their sleep. Oh, did I mention Malfoy snores? Worse than a train! I can’t stand it.

What do you mean, “Maybe it’s the best thing for you”? Do you want me to lose my mind? We’ve already almost come to blows over a sock I dropped on the loo floor. A sock! If you see in the papers that I’ve been arrested for murdering Malfoy, please find me a fantastic solicitor. I’m certain, once I explain our history and these forced living arrangements, they’ll be able to get me off with a warning.

-Harry

Dear Blaise,

Not to worry, I’m completely unharmed. I’m going to ignore your comment about enclosed spaces and secret crushes, because not only was it crude but also completely inaccurate. Things have been going better than I anticipated, actually. Potter and I have had some verbal altercations, and there’s been a bit of shoving over his slovenly habits, but nothing unexpected.

I’m glad you’re enjoying your time in Italy. Do you have plans to return and finish your education here, or is there a program there that will allow you to complete your N.E.W.T.s? I’m still undecided on if I want to accept the offer Headmistress McGonagall has extended to us, to return for an Eighth Year. I don’t know if I can

-DLM

Pans,

I’m losing my mind. Certifiably. He leaves his clothing everywhere, and they all smell like him. I’m surrounded by the scent of Harry. Also, he’s adorable when he sleeps. I haven’t been watching him or anything; that would be creepy. You know I’m an early riser, and he sleeps until the last possible moment, so I’m treated to a vision of him curled up in a ball, hair wild and face soft, every morning.

He’s even cute when he’s trying to be threatening. I may have purposely riled him up over something insignificant, because he was attempting to ignore me. Ignore me, Pans. If I’d known how attractive he looked with that flush, or how hot his hands would be against my shoulders, I’d have done it much sooner. He pushed me against the wall! For a moment, I was completely at his mercy, and let me tell you, I practically melted. Merlin, I don’t know how I’m going to last these next few months. How far is too far to push someone?

-Draco

Charlie,

We’ve made some headway on the Astronomy tower. I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but Malfoy is actually kind of artistic. He designed this mural to stretch all the way up to the observation deck, and it basically tells the story of the war. You’d think he’d have skipped over his own involvement, or at least tried to downplay it, but he didn’t. I didn’t understand why McGonagall gave him such an important job, seeing as we have actual contractors on site, but I guess she knew he needed some kind of outlet. Someone else is going to paint it; Merlin knows if I tried, they’d have to cover it up immediately!

-Harry

Pans,

Something happened. I don’t know if I’ve just worn him down, or he’s being affected by something else, but Harry was actually nice to me today. I drew up plans for a mural for the Astronomy Tower (McGonagall asked me to. I bet it’s because she feels like I’m not contributing enough, but I like to believe it’s because she somehow knows I secretly like to draw), and Harry complemented me on it! He said, and I quote, “Wow, that’s actually really good.” Eeee! What do I do, Pans? Do you think he fancies me, too? Should I tell him how I feel, or would that be too much, too soon?

-Draco

Charlie,

I can’t believe we’re almost done. It feels like we’ve been rebuilding for years, but also only a few days. It was hard work, but I’m really proud of what we’ve accomplished here. I’ve learned a lot along the way; about myself, about others, about the castle. It’s been really healing to do something so labor-intensive and just be, instead of always feeling like I have to be careful of what I say or do in case it gets leaked to the papers or misconstrued by someone. I think all of us have sides that we don’t share with many people. Draco is very different from the person I thought he was. The war has changed him, as it has all of us, but he has a tender heart, which I never would have expected. The entire time I’ve known him, he’s always pretended to be this stuck-up git, better than everyone else and just a terrible person all around, but it’s all been an act. Every interaction we’ve ever had has just been a projection of who his family expected him to be, who his friends thought he was, and who he felt like he had to embody to be successful in life. It’s been really eye-opening to see all of that fall away and get to know the real person underneath.

-Harry

Pans,

What I thought was going to be the worst summer of my life has actually turned out to be, for lack of a better word, magical. He kissed me. He KISSED me! We finally sat down and really talked, got to know each other and peeled back all the layers of shite that we’ve built up between us. It’s amazing, but he’s exactly who I thought he was; selfless, kind, accidentally charming. Without the blinders of my father and his unyielding faith in the Dark Lord, I can see what practically everyone else already knew: Harry truly is a gift to this world.

It was freeing to finally show him who I am, and I guess he likes who that is, because he kissed me! We were chatting on the sofa, and I’d just told him a particularly difficult bit of my childhood, and he leaned forward with this look in his eye. It was fierce, like he was going into battle, and for a moment, I thought he was going to hit me. But, he reached out and grabbed the back of my neck, pulled me in, and before I knew what was happening, his lips were on mine.

It was fantastic, Pans. Best kiss I’ve ever had (don’t be offended). It was short, and he looked a tad embarrassed afterward, but I think we’re moving in the right direction! How soon is too soon to say ‘I love you’?

Just kidding! Also, did I mention that Harry Potter Kissed Me!?

-Draco

Dear Blaise,

Apologies for the delay in response, there have been quite a few new developments around here. It’s completely understandable that you would want to stay away from England for the time being; I can see why it might be difficult for you and your family. I’m still undecided on whether I will attend a second last year, but I think I’m leaning toward the positive. It would be nothing but helpful, to be able to say I finished my education even in the midst of a war.

I have to admit that you may have been correct about my and Harry’s interactions and potential relationship. We’ve both grown as people, and being forced together such as we are has really made us reconsider things. We’ve gotten on much better than I expected, and there may be some reciprocal feelings. Don’t go getting an inflated ego; this will be the one and only time I ever admit you were more accurate than I first suspected.

-DLM

Charlie,

I take back what I said at the beginning of the summer; I’m glad I didn’t go back to Romania with you. You’ll likely see this in the papers soon, but it wouldn’t be right not to tell you myself. Draco and I are together.

If you’d have told me a few months ago that we’d end up here, I would have laughed in your face, or possibly hexed you, but looking back on it, I feel like this was inevitable. We’re so different, yet so similar, and I think that’s what made us fantastic enemies. I hope it’s what will make us fantastic boyfriends, too.

I know what you and I had was casual, no labels or expectations, but I still feel guilty for moving on this way. Please tell me that you forgive me.

-Harry

You need to move off of Google Docs!

I know some people have seen the news recently and may be doubtful of it. To the uninformed, Google Docs has started using AI to find "inappropriate" and "problematic" content, scraping your documents and deleting it. I know some people are unsure if this is real or think this is not going to affect them.

I regret to inform you that this is real.

As I was on a call with some writers and we were moving our documents as a precautionary measure, one person discovered entire pages missing that they did not delete themselves. This is happening to us, it's not a hoax or a rumor, it's happening right now. You need to move everything if you want to preserve it.

If you're a writer with writer mutuals, please reblog this so they know. I rarely write on Google Docs anymore, but I started my fanfics on there, and I would be devastated if I lost works more than ten years old because people decided marketing appeal is more important than creative freedom.

Once Removed, Twice as Valuable

A Drabble for the @drarrymicrofic weekly challenge (and Summer Bingo!) Prompt: Brave

How does one define bravery? Is it something that can be learned? Something earned, like a badge? Is it inherent, or something passed down by generations?

Draco thought himself brave; he stood up for what he believed in, didn’t back down when faced with conflict or adversity, and held firm in his convictions. He knew he was in the right, and he was proud to be part of something greater than himself. He was brave, but he couldn’t understand why no one else considered him so.

The moment he opened his eyes, he knew something was wrong. The green of his bed curtains seemed more vivid, and his bedding more plush. He rose slowly, uncertain if he was still dreaming or if perhaps the potions from the night before were still in his system. It had been quite the party, as most of the house celebrated the return of the Dark Lord. It was regrettable that Potter hadn’t perished at his hand, but now that he’d been revived, Voldemort had all the time in the world.

Draco stumbled from his bed toward the loo, paying very little mind to his surroundings. If he’d been more aware, he’d have noticed the sixth bed in the room, and wouldn’t have been so startled to open the door on a half-dressed Tom Riddle. Of course, he didn’t know it was Tom Riddle, having never seen a photo of Voldemort during his school years, and only knew that the teenager standing before him was a stranger with a Slytherin tie.

He’d almost forgotten what the Slytherin dorm looked like, during his time. Draco opened his eyes to faded curtains, the pillowcase scratchy on his cheek, and the room filled with the not quite unfamiliar sounds of Goyle’s snores, and disappointment rushed through him. He sat up, his head nearly brushing the draping fabric above him, and realized he’d not only been returned to his old life, but time had passed without him while he’d been gone.

It was odd, befriending the future leader of the Wizarding world. It had taken Draco a solid month to realize that Tom Riddle and Voldemort were one in the same, and only then because he’d overheard some of Tom’s acolytes discussing his radical ideas. It had been quite a feat, convincing Tom to allow an unknown into his ranks. Draco was someone who, up until very recently, hadn’t been noticed by Tom or any of his followers, and he’d had to fabricate an entire backstory for himself that was both understated and believable.

As he proudly took the Dark Mark, formally accepting his role in history, Draco recalled the last few years of his life. He’d been involved in each of Voldemort’s reigns, though the Dark Lord had no idea, and he’d been integral to the foothold he’d gained in Wizarding society before his untimely demise. He couldn’t prevent the events in Godric’s Hollow, unfortunately having been sent back to his own time by unknown means long before, but he’d assisted in recruitment, and had been a key factor in both Lucius and Severus joining. He smirked, knowing that though he might seem like a new recruit, he was more embroiled than even his own father. He couldn’t wait to prove himself worthy in his timeline as well.

It was easy, getting Potter to fall in love with him. All he had to do was pretend to be remorseful, present a downtrodden and weary front, and he knew Potter wouldn’t be able to help himself. Ever the hero, his resolve would eventually break, and he’d be unable to move on without trying to provide a solution. Draco crafted the perfect cover, a sob story about how his family was in danger. He knew Potter held family in high regard, not having any of his own, and once he’d taken the bait, all Draco had to do was reel him in.

What had been a surprise was how quickly he’d been able to turn Potter. For someone held up as the Savior of the Wizarding world, it certainly took far less effort than Draco was expecting. Perhaps he was tired of the admiration, or maybe Draco was just that good in bed, but whatever the reason, Potter’s revocation of the Light helped Draco climb the ranks of the Dark Lord’s army, setting him up as his Second. Severus still held the honored position of Right Hand, his duality invaluable to the cause, but Draco had outranked everyone else, even Lucius, much to the latter’s chagrin.

As Draco stood at Voldemort’s side, hand clasped tightly with Harry’s on the steps of the Ministry of Magic, a genuine smile lit his face. He gazed out at the sea of believers; the crowd was comprised mainly of Pure-Bloods, as intended, with only a handful of useful half-bloods. They’d achieved their goal, crucifying the Muggles and eradicating the Muggle-borns from their sacred lands, and they could now live in peace and harmony with the Dark Lord forever at the helm.

He was brave, and so was Harry, and now the entire world knew it.

Homecoming

A Microfic for the @drarrymicrofic weekly challenge (and Summer Bingo!) Prompt: Expect

You never expected to feel his touch again. You’d given up hope and had already given your loyalty to another. The first brush of his fingers was a cool breeze on a hot day. When he cast his first spell, and his magic coursed through you, it felt like home.

Super specific: Another tag game

Alright @its-the-allure, I'll play!

one piece of jewelry you can't go anywhere without: Usually a necklace of some kind.

most worn shoes: My work shoes, sadly.

new book/fic that has you in its grip: I've been loving "A Prison of Red Lights" by Kiaowelaccu (an rpf of Stray Kids), and "The Moirai and the Lair of Death and Vipers" by FightFireWithFire, though I'm very behind on both.

one drink you can't go without: Water. I always have a bottle or cup around.

latest kitchen fail: Hmmm, I overcooked some garlic not that long ago. Does that count?

a piece of media you've been wanting to watch for ages: Honestly, I don't watch anything anymore, so there's so much I've missed! (Though I've been dying to see Kpop Demon Hunters for the last few weeks!)

latest character to enter brainrot mode: Drarry forever 😂

Now, who shall I request to play with me? How about @jittery-wisp and @no-arc. Tag, you're it!

Unrepentant

A Microfic for the @drarrymicrofic weekly challenge Prompt: Steal TW: allusion to imprisonment

Steal, bribe, murder if you have to. Do whatever it takes to stay in the Dark Lord’s good graces.

His father’s advice echoed in his mind as he hung from the rusty chains, but he could never regret his decision to disobey. It meant Harry was free.

“Hodari—you know your mine…

…smells like shit, can we hurry this along!?” -Hassian probably

YCH gone Sexual (not click bait!) 💋🐁 TY!

Timeless

A Drabble for the @drarrymicrofic weekly challenge. Prompt: Brief

How long is a brief moment? Is it the quick glances and stolen kisses of our youth? The rage of injustice or sorrow of loss? Maybe it’s not so much a span of time, but a feeling.

Could the years I spent secretly loving you be considered brief, if it felt as such? Would the lifetime we shared together, because it now seems like a flash in the pan? And what of my torturous stay in Azkaban?

If one were to stack all the days we lived and laughed together, add all of the nights I yearned for your presence, would that be brief? Whatever the definition, my soul believes it applies to you, my love, and I agree.

Desperate Hope

An actual Microfic for the @drarrymicrofic weekly challenge Prompt: Wound TW: Graphic self-harm

A river slowly flowed down his forearm, a crimson wash over the remainder of his Dark Mark. He bit down on the wand between his teeth and sliced another ribbon of skin. Perhaps, if he could get rid of it all, Harry would finally love him.

Delicate Ties

A one-shot for the @drarrymicrofic weekly microfic challenge (don't worry, I wrote an actual microfic this time too!) Prompt: Wound (used here as the past tense of wind)

“Promise you won’t forget us,” Draco whispered, stealing one last kiss before the Aurors barged into the holding cell.

“I promise.” Harry scrubbed the tears from his face and flicked his wand, watching as a thin red ribbon wound around his wrist. “As long as I wear this, I’ll never forget.”

Draco smiled grimly, his eyes glassy, “Such an easy thing to dispose of. Am I so expendable?”

“I’d rather cut off my own arm than take this off,” Harry cried, “How could you think you’d be so easily forgotten?”

They both turned as the door banged open. “Time to go, Malfoy,” an Auror spat, sneering as he caught sight of their clasped hands.

They stood together, Harry shooting daggers at the Auror when he attempted to take hold of Draco. He squeezed Draco’s hand then slowly slipped his fingers free, taking a deep breath as another Auror roughly led him away.

“It’s only five years!”

Draco sighed as the memory washed over him; it was a daily reminder of the love he’d found and quickly lost as he sat in his filthy cell. Harry may have made that promise in earnest at the time, but five years was much longer than it sounded, and Draco had very little hope that Harry would even still be thinking about him, let alone be ready to pick up where they left off once he was free.

“Malfoy!”

Draco rolled sluggishly on his straw bed to face the tarnished bars. One positive of the war, if anyone could call it that, was that Dementors no longer haunted the corridors and sucked the life out of the prisoners. No. Instead, flesh-and-blood men stalked past, rattling cages and expending their frustration.

The cell door creaked open, and Draco watched impassively as the Auror dropped a bundle onto the floor. “Get dressed.”

Draco furrowed his brow. It wasn’t Wednesday, was it? “For what?”

The Auror sneered, “Merlin, I can’t wait to be rid of your pompous arse,” he growled. He kicked the pile further into the small cell, “Time to face your enemies, innit?”

Draco lifted a brow, his eyes trained on the Auror as he slowly moved to retrieve the clothing. He knew better than to ask more than one question and bit his tongue against his burning curiosity. When he separated the garments, Draco was surprised to find them completely intact, no holes or tears to be found. He stripped and redressed quickly, modesty a thing of the past after years of zero privacy, then turned to face the bars.

The Auror grunted and spun, moving down the corridor at a clipped pace. Draco dutifully followed, the behavior routine, but not the route.

“Where are we going?” Draco asked before he could stop himself.

The Auror shot him a glare over his shoulder, and Draco was certain they were about to turn a corner so he could pay for his inquisitiveness, but they continued up several flights of stairs instead. The higher they climbed, the brighter it became, until Draco had to squint against the sunlight streaming in through the windows. He took a deep breath, the scent of the sea replacing years’ worth of mold and mildew, and Draco’s heart leapt into his throat as he realized they were heading for the entrance of the prison.

Surely, it hadn’t been five years already.

“Here.”

Draco startled as a wad of material was shoved into his hands, gasping as he recognized the robes he’d worn to his trial. He resisted the urge to hug the garment but couldn’t push down the emotion that rose when his wand was placed on top.

“Well?”

Draco looked into the sour face of the Auror, then to the wide-open doors. The sunlight bounced off the sea, glittering beneath a clear sky. “I’m free?”

“Yes,” the Auror sneered.

“How do I get home?”

The Auror rolled his eyes and turned his back, ignoring the question. Draco took a breath and straightened his shoulders, calling upon the baseless self-assurance of his youth, and headed for the blinding light. He took a deep breath as he crossed the threshold, blinking into the midday, and paused as the sun began to warm his perpetually chilly body. A gasp to his right made him turn his head sharply, and he stumbled as an apparition from his past came into focus.

Harry stared, his eyes darting around Draco’s too-thin frame and matted hair. He hadn’t been allowed to visit, no one had, but he’d spent every single day tracing the memory of Draco’s face in his mind. “Hi.”

Draco swallowed, eyes immediately falling to Harry’s wrist. The ribbon was dingy, the edges separated and frayed, but it was there, wound around tan skin as if it had always been. He blinked quickly, shifting his gaze up to Harry’s watery eyes. “What are you doing here?”

Harry laughed, “I’m here to take you home. Did you think I’d forgotten? That I’d moved on without you?”

Draco furrowed his brow, looking up as he tried to regulate his emotions, “Yes.”

Harry huffed and closed the distance between them, prompting Draco to tilt his chin back down. Tears slowly slid down his cheeks as Harry wrapped a hand around the back of his neck and pulled him forward. “I could never. Now that I’ve found you, I’ll never let you go. I would wait for you for five more years. Twenty years. A millennia. You’re never getting rid of me, Draco.”

Draco gasped a sob as Harry pressed their lips together, dropping his bundle to curl both arms around him. They stood on the edge of the sea, a depressing, imposing prison at their back as the gentle sound of waves breaking on the shore surrounded them, intertwined so tightly it was difficult to tell where one ended and the other began.

It was the best day of both their lives.

Full Circle

A Double Drabble for the @drarrymicrofic weekly challenge. Prompt: Ground

Dirt. That was all he tasted. All he smelled. His ears rang with cruel laughter, and he clenched his teeth. The grit between them was an instant reminder of his new social standing. He mustered a scowl and slid his hands under his chest, attempting to push himself up. A heavy weight on his spine shoved him back to the ground, and he growled as a rock scraped his cheek.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

They scattered, cowards under the weight of a terrifying roar. An open palm appeared near his face, and he took a deep breath before lifting his gaze.

“Are you alright?”

He blinked into startlingly green eyes, the only recognizable feature of the stunted, awkward boy he once regularly victimized. He glanced down at the waiting appendage, an olive branch reminiscent of their first official meeting, and swallowed. “Why are you being so bloody nice?”

“No one deserves such treatment, no matter their past or present circumstances. Can’t I just be a decent person?” The smirk that graced his handsome face was heart stopping, and Draco took a startled breath. “Or Maybe, I like the idea of you owing me a favor, Malfoy.”
