He wants to laugh at the irony, he really does, as he lets Potter brand his arm and override the dark mark with a new one.

(hey i managed to finish this just in time for valentine!) i’ve been listening to some harry/draco audiofics and was inspired to paint a little something as thanks to the hp fandom, since i can’t actually write and all. Thank you guys for your work!

when I drew this I had no idea that this scene in the fic was inspired by this art by alekina! so this ended up being a fanart of a fanfic of a fanart. telephone game much?

Absolutely amazing how AO3 is a part of the internet that doesn't sneak in any ads and doesn't have an algorithm and doesn't watch you or record how much time you spend looking at each fic or whatever. It's just right there to use for free. Legend

For the word excerpt ask game: shudder (or tremble or shake or similar). If none of those....earrings, necklace, some kind of jewelry?

Hello lovely! I had so many examples of these, people are always shivering or shaking in my fics, obviously! Some are a bit spoilery so I chose this one, which is where Harry and Ron have an argument after one of Ron's brothers is killed, and Ron comes to Harry's room in the middle of the night.

Harry wasn’t asleep, of course; the shivers of earlier had worsened and his body felt clumsy, rattled by feverish shakes. Draco hadn’t said anything at all, just bundled his own duvet on top of Harry’s and then climbed into the narrow bed beside him and curled around him. He wasn’t asleep either.

Harry got a fright when the door opened, but then he saw Ron silhouetted against the dim light from the hall, his tall shape unchanged down through the years since school. Draco slid quietly from the bed and stood there for a moment, and Harry wondered if he was thinking about explaining why he was in the same bed as Harry, but after a short hesitation he just slipped out the door past Ron, giving him a quick squeeze on the shoulder as he went. Ron didn’t even spare him a curious look, just crossed the room and tiredly burrowed under the covers next to Harry, in the warm space where Draco had been. He must have been up for a while, because his bare feet were freezing, and he was shivering too.

“Did you sleep at all?” Harry asked, and Ron shook his head, curled closer in the bed so their legs tangled.

“Took Rosie for a bit. Couldn’t sleep anyway, so at least ‘Mione gets a rest.” Ron’s voice was scratchy and low and wounded. “They’re both asleep now.”

“You need to rest,” Harry muttered. “Ron, you need—”

He stopped, unsure of what he wanted to say. You need to be free of me, maybe. You need to be safe. But Ron knew what he meant, probably, because he snorted, and poked Harry gently in the stomach. In the moonlight leaking through the big window, Ron’s skin was leached of colour, a shade of himself. His eyes were shut.

“You know it’s not your fault, right?” Ron said roughly. “You know I was just being stupid? I would never—” He swallowed hard. “Everything we’ve ever done, we’ve done it together. I chose it, over and over. I still choose it. I choose you. You’ve been my best friend for over half my life, and you’re as good as a brother to me, and I was a bastard to say those things to you.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Harry said, with a relief so desperate it made his voice sound choked and thin. “Please don’t say sorry.” For the first time all evening, Harry was starting to warm up, with Ron’s big familiar body next to him.

liv, do you have any idiots to lovers recs? I’m thinking things in the vein of “keep it down” by warmfoothills; where draco and Harry like each other so much but are just so dumb about it! it also works if only one of them is an idiot (usually Harry, my oblivious king!!) huge bonus if they have a big, combined friend group that everyone in it either 1.knows they’re in love with eachother bc duh or 2.already thinks they are dating/fucking

It took me ages to post this but if you’re still around I got you, anon 🫡 That’s also a favorite trope of mine, I adore that warmfoothills fic. Here are some recs for you, I’ve had so much fun putting this list together. I also did a reclist for roommates AU a while ago. Hope you enjoy!

Still Life (2019, M, 3k)

Take A Stab At It by @sorrybutblog (E, 3k)

It’s a bit pathetic, Harry knows, to have a hard-on for the guy who bullied you in school. Kind of cliché to look back on years of obsession and hatred and think, Oh.

Closer by @pennygalleon (2022, M, 5k)

All who know them are convinced that Harry and Draco are a couple. But that's just ridiculous.

Tread That Fine Line by disapparater (E, 5k)

Harry could cope with being in love with Draco, it was the needing to get fucked by him that was driving Harry insane.

Mise en Place by @corvuscrowned (2021, T, 5.5k)

Draco needs to learn how to cook, and luckily, Harry knows his way around a kitchen. The fact that Draco is using his newfound cooking skills to impress another man... Well, Harry just tries not to think about that too much.

Two of Us by @sorrybutblog (E, 5.5k)

The gang goes to a gay bar. Or: five times Harry accidentally pretended to be Draco’s boyfriend and one time Draco told him to put out or shut up.

Per my last letter (I hope you choke on it) by @fluxweeed and @lastontheboat (T, 10k)

Or: the one where Harry has writer’s block and Malfoy isn’t helping.

Party of Two by fireflavored (2012, E, 13k)

Drinking, sex, and a total misreading of the concept of fuck buddies.

Take the Moon by @tackytigerfic (M, 15k)

Harry Potter has always wanted a family of his own, and when a deadly blood curse forces him into a marriage bond with his best friend Draco Malfoy, it looks like he might just have found one. It's just a shame they’d always planned to break up after a year…

An Act of Kindness for One Harry Potter by a Sympathetic Draco Malfoy by 0idontknow0 (E, 15k)

As Draco leaned on the wall to wait for them to get dressed, he could not help feeling like he had done a very kind thing by disrupting them. Someone should give Potter a better rogering than that sorry sod had. The man had saved the bloody world—okay, mostly Europe—the least someone could do was give him a proper shag.

It's Friday (I'm in Love) by @punk-rock-yuppie (E, 16k)

At first, Draco only hangs out with them on Fridays after work; then he starts shagging Potter after pub nights. Then all the rest of the gang tries to befriend Draco and even worse, Potter tries to date him. It’s an absolute disaster, if you ask Draco. Or, Draco and Harry fall in love over the course of several Fridays and some other days of the week.

solemates by @shiftylinguini (E, 17k)

It starts because Harry has no self-control when it comes to meaningless and entertaining competition. Actually no, that's not quite right. It starts because Harry is absolutely plastered.

Five Weddings and a Potions Accident by lauren3210 (E, 19k)

In which Harry thinks he’s a playboy, everyone else knows better, and Hermione will kill Seamus if Ron tries to collect on that bet.

Nothing But You On My Mind by @moonflower-rose (M, 29k)

Potter has been in Australia on an internship for almost a year, and Draco cannot wait for him to get back home. They'll finally have a chance to talk about their feelings for each other. What could possibly go wrong? Loads, as it turns out.

Around You Moves by ignatiustrout (M, 29k)

Harry knew Draco was gay when he invited him to move in. He’s never had a problem with this. So why does he feel so weird about Draco bringing men home all of a sudden?

(The Piece) I was Missing All Along by lauren3210 (E, 30k)

Draco and Harry have been flatmates and best friends for years, and Draco thinks life is just perfect that way. But when something comes along and threatens to take all that away, Draco has to decide what it is he really wants, and just how hard he's going to work to get it.

A Love Story of Less-Than-Epic Proportions by InnerLilith (E, 39k)

Harry and Draco are just friends. Sure, they work together, and live together, and go to gigs together, and do pretty much everything else together—so what? That’s just what friends do. And Harry has no interest in messing with their friendship. He certainly doesn’t need everyone else constantly meddling, pestering them to just get on with it and get together already. He’s having a hard enough time as it is, trying to come to terms with the fact that he probably isn’t ever going to find love. But who needs love, anyway, when you’ve got a best friend?

Another Heart Whispers Back by @slytherco (2020, E, 53k)

At twenty-five, Harry Potter is still a virgin and sorely lacking in options to change that state anytime soon. To help him find a plus one for Ron and Hermione’s wedding, and maybe kill two birds with one stone, Harry’s friends set him up on a series of blind dates. The only problem is, there’s something not quite right with each of their candidates.

Nights With You by @the-sinking-ship (E, 58k)

Draco is mortified when moments prior to departing for the most anticipated destination wedding of the year, he is cruelly dumped. But when he learns that Harry Potter has, at long last, split with his horrible boyfriend, Draco is certain his luck has changed. Never a man to squander an opportunity for revenge (and what would probably be a spectacular shag), Draco vows to make Potter his for the weekend.

All Must Draw Near by Saras_Girl (M, 61k)

Harry doesn't have time for rumours; he has a shop to run. Which is just as well, really.

The Pure and Simple Truth by lettered (G, 65k)

Harry, Draco, and Hermione go to a pub. Harry, Draco, and Pansy go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Pansy, and Hermione go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Hermione and Ron go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Hermione, Ron, and Pansy―you guessed it―go to a pub. I could go on. In fact, I did. Harry, Draco, Hermione, Pansy, Ron, Blaise, Luna, Goyle, Neville, and Theodore Nott go to a pub. In various combinations.

For the word ask game, how about the word 'traitor'? 👀

Ooh thank you, anon - I have lots of these in my current WIP because Draco is an Order member and then defects. Some of them are a bit spoilery so here's a piece from early on in the fic. Draco has returned to the Order after seven years, but they obviously don't trust him so he's been kept in custody and subjected to Veritaserum and some invasive magical testing. CW for vomiting and cigarette smoking!

“May I come in?” Harry managed, and then regretted his politeness when Draco just sniffed and said, “I can’t exactly stop you, can I?” and turned and padded across the room, his footsteps silent in his soft white socks.

“I came to let you know that your wand will be out of processing by tomorrow,” Harry said to Draco’s back, watching the tensing of his shoulders, the tiny pause. “You can collect it after breakfast and let us know what you’d like to do.”

“And in the meantime I’m here overnight, totally unprotected and vulnerable,” Draco said stiffly. “At least last night I had a guard on the door.”

“If I had my way,” Harry said pleasantly, “you’d still have a guard on your door. But sadly even traitorous bastards get to benefit from the outcome of the justice system.”

“Oh, piss off if you just came here to bait me,” Draco said, voice thick. “I went through your due process, I jumped through all your little hoops, and I—” He held a hand up, swaying gently, face horrified, then he clapped a hand over his mouth and strode over to the little bathroom in the corner, where he was—efficiently and impressively quietly—sick into the sink.

Harry waited until Draco’s shoulders had finished heaving and he was washing his face under the cold tap, and Harry could be reasonably sure he wasn’t going to be sick again.

“Would you like a freshen up?” Harry asked him, expecting him to say no, but Draco just sighed into the towel as he dabbed his face dry and said, “Yes please,” mildly enough. Harry got his wand out self-consciously and performed the spell, trying not to catch Draco’s eye as he wrinkled his nose and blinked, the smell of spearmint and citrus sharpening the air.

Harry had never quite got the hang of courtesy spells—Draco had always been the one to cast this one, back when they were whiskey-sodden hungover idiots the morning after whatever night of long involved chatting and plotting they’d had, or the time they found an old pack of cigarettes stashed in the attic in Grimmauld and decided to sit out on the angled roof below the casement and try out smoking. Draco had coughed himself almost sick that time, though Harry had taken to it too easily, so much so that he stubbed out the cigarette and told himself he wouldn’t try it again. He didn’t trust anything that he liked that much that quickly.

Harry wondered if Draco remembered all of that stuff the way he did, if Draco thought about the things they had been to each other back then. If Draco had missed him.

[lupine-trees]

let me always be with you

Based on "Annie's Song" by John Denver. This song holds a lot of childhood nostalgia for me, and while I tried to stay true to the romance, I hope you feel the same tenderness reading this fic that I do when I listen to this song.

Draco rises easily and early these days. Long gone are the nights when the moon was his sun, and the daytime was slept away behind blackout curtains and a silk eye mask. Now, his body pulls him toward rest not long after the sun has set, and it brings him into the dawn with enough time to appreciate the pinkening sky over a cup of Earl Grey.

Harry is a heavier sleeper. Draco used to tease him about it a little before Harry confided in him about sleepless nights spent in a cramped, dark cupboard; after that, Draco stopped setting an alarm on the weekends and held Harry a little tighter when they went to bed each night.

Draco's favorite morning pastime, on days when he swears the sun rises a little slower, is to watch Harry sleep. To see him take his rest. Harry looks younger when he sleeps, despite the slight gray at his temples and his deepening laugh lines. Draco likes to think they're aging backward as well as forward; making up for lost time.

When Draco has stared his fill, he settles back into bed. Harry's arms reach for him, wanting Draco close even in his subconscious state, and it never fails to hit Draco's heart with a pang of tenderness.

Draco burrows his head against Harry's chest, letting that hard-earned, steady heartbeat lull him back to sleep. Outside, the sky invites a little more light to creep through the clouds.
