1. Bubonic by @steampunkserpent27 [M, 1k]

►After Draco’s family dies from the Black Death, Harry is the only one around to help him when he falls ill himself.

2. Good Life by rosiexpotter [T, 71k]

►Post-war Draco is forced to come back to Hogwarts to finish his education. He is scared to even get into Hogwarts Express, knowing well-enough that he is hated by many, despite the fact that he never became a Death Eater and stayed in shadows as much as possible. He becomes closed-off, and not many would recognize him, and he likes it this way - on his own, avoiding any danger. But it appears that his changed appearance interests Harry Potter.

3. got us living in this perfect suburban fantasy by @sometimeshipper [T, 4k]

►Stepford itself is stunning, all picture perfect lawns, and tastefully-designed facades. Harry wonders if they can truly build a home here.

1. In Pollinis Veritas by @lalionnebelle [E, 2k]

►Draco is a magibotanist working with the Aurors. He’s finally managed to get a rare and exotic plant to bloom, the pollen of which has the interesting property of rendering anyone who breathes it incapable of lying. Enter Auror Potter…in more ways than one. ★ Drarropoly ‘21: International edition | @gameofdrarry

2. Playing Dirty by @sweet-s0rr0w [E, 8k]

►As punishment for screwing up yet another mission, and with their magic going haywire, new partners Potter and Malfoy are sent to clean the Auror locker room, the Muggle way. Will they make it out alive? Does Malfoy ever work out how to use a sponge? Do they actually even hate each other, or is it all just misconstrued sexual tension? How long until they accidentally end up naked? ★ HD Suds Fest 2021 | @hdsudsfest

1. draco malfoy and his lifetime supply of granted wishes by @sometimeshipper [G, 5k]

►Draco is cursed with having all his wishes come true until he genuinely wishes for someone else’s happiness. Not bad, right? Everything goes wrong, naturally, and sod it all, why must Potter witness all of it?

2. how easy you are to need by @softlystarstruck [M, 1k]

►Something is deeply wrong with Harry Potter. Draco should know better than to get involved. He really, really should.

1. All I Ever Wanted by @cheshire-kas [G, 1k]

►Harry was doing his part right. He and Draco had to cooperate to get the spell right, and he was doing his part right. Then Draco went and was… himself, and now they were stuck who knew where or when! ★ Drarropoly ‘21: International edition | @gameofdrarry

2. Cold Hands, Warm Heart by @janieohio [E, 5k]

►Draco should probably be freaking out. He’s stranded in a frozen wilderness with no wand, no supplies, and no way home. But he isn’t freaking out, and it’s totally NOT because he has his Auror partner with him. Not even a little bit. Or maybe a little bit. But probably not. Now, if only that little cabin they found had more than one bed. ★ There Was Only One Bed: The Fest

3. He Was a Skater Boy by @m0srael [E, 19k]

►Harry Potter intends to spend his eighth year at Hogwarts avoiding the endless stares, whispers, and nosy questions that never seem to leave him be.

4. Hey Spaceman by Anonymous [T, 13k]

►Harry is one of the worlds most well-known astrophysicists. When the UK announced they were joining the space race with their own mission to Mars, Harry knew he needed to follow his dream. He just didn’t expect to fall in love along the way. ★ Harry/Draco Career Fair 2021 | @hd-fan-fair

5. The Hunter and The Dragon by @isamijoo [T, 2k]

6. A Perfect Answer by @p1013 [E, 9k]

4. A Summer in Bordeaux by Anonymous [E, 28k]

►Harry turns. Malfoy leans against the doorway to the back garden under the halo of a gaslamp dangling overhead. The warm glow of the flame casts him in a golden light, and he’s framed on either side by trailing grapevines cascading over the garden walls. So soft, Harry thinks, where the Malfoy in his mind once seemed so sharp.“You look like a painting,” Harry tells him. ★ Harry/Draco Career Fair 2021 | @hd-fan-fair

►While cleaning the Potter Manor attic, Harry accidentally activates the Potter-Malfoy Contract of 1659, betrothing a four-year-old Lily Luna Potter to a four-year-old Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy.

Reading the Signs (A Dair Fanfic)

i. 

It’s only in the middle of the pandemic that Blair realizes she is in love with Dan.

Shortly before the whole world is plunged into chaos, Blair’s world is plunged into it as Dan and Chuck confront her with an ultimatum, giving her weeks to decide on who she really wants.

The irony doesn’t escape her that this is the only time she’s ever seen Dan and Chuck agreeing on something.

The irony doesn’t escape her that she once judged Serena for doing the same things she is doing now - vacillating between two boys, giving them the faint hope that her heart belongs to one of them. 

The irony doesn’t escape her that one of the boys used to be Serena’s.

Irony doesn’t seem to escape her these days.

ii.

The morning after the confrontation doesn’t leave her with a clear head.

Dan texts her, apologizing. He says that it isn’t fair for her to force her to choose, that he is willing to wait for however long it takes. 

Chuck doesn’t text her. She receives a notification from Gossip Girl, saying he has flown to Monte Carlo or Sao Paolo. She’s not sure. She doesn’t really care.

That should have been the first sign.

iii. 

For once, she is content to tuck herself away at home, faced with the enormity of everything. She volunteers her time to relief efforts, even. For the first time, she is faced with the idea of her mortality.

Dan messages her everyday, graciously skirting the elephant in the room.

He sends her poetry - Cummings (Seriously, Humphrey? He’s a sap!), Neruda (I get the message - you love me!), and Emerson (God, Humphrey, I always knew you were an old man.) 

He asks for her opinion on his Contemporary Literature paper, hoping that he did not go too far in his critique of self-reflexivity as escapism. (The irony doesn’t escape her here, either, as she thinks of Inside, his diary-turned-debut-into-the-literary-world.) 

He even sends her memes. 

Chuck texts her too. He sends photos of all the places he’ll take her, if she chooses him. He promises that he’ll even go to museums with her.

He tells her about his plans for Bass Empire and how she would fit into them.

Sometimes, he even calls, his voice cracking, telling her how alone he felt as a child and how he never wants to be alone again.

It would be terribly sweet if she hadn’t already experienced something else.

That should have been the second sign.

iv. 

It’s the eve of her 24th birthday and she spends it alone, for the first time. Both sets of parents are waiting out the crisis in Paris, pleading with her to join them.

She refuses, in the meantime, secretly hoping that when she flies there, she’ll have someone to join her.

Serena and Nate call her from Vietnam, signal crackling, but their happiness shining through. She smiles. She can’t believe she used to be resentful of their easy love. She feels magnanimous. 

Dorota insists on staying over, but Blair shoos her surrogate mother away, telling her to take care of Vanya and their children. 

Uncharacteristic acts of kindness have been coming more naturally to her these days.

She wakes up to a small package on her bedside table, a handful of peonies, and a note. 

“Blair,

This is for you to share the beauty within you, not for anyone else, but for yourself. Your intelligence, tenacity, and confidence have always floored me, and I could think of no better way to show you that.

Happy birthday. I miss you. 

- Dan” 

It is a journal. She smiles and heads her way down for a leisurely breakfast, eager to start jotting things down.

She is greeted with a dining room full of Ecuadorian roses, a necklace from Tiffany’s and also a note, this time from Chuck.

“This is only the beginning of a lifetime of choosing you. 

- Chuck” 

She is strangely unmoved. 

That should have been the third sign.

v.

It’s on an ordinary day in the midst of the pandemic that she realizes she is in love with Dan.

Here too, the irony doesn’t escape her.

She is bogged down by the ordinary these days, realizing how small she is, compared to just.... everything. She is Blair Waldorf, she knows, but she is also.... just Blair Waldorf. 

She writes, just as she has been doing since her birthday. 

She writes and she writes and she writes, and she feels like herself again - beautiful, intelligent, tenacious, and confident. Blair.

She writes and she writes, and she writes, and she realizes she is seen.

She writes, and she writes, and she writes, but this time, it’s a note.

“For once, I don’t have witty repartee. Just these words: I love you.”

She slips it in between the pages of her journal and sends them over to Brooklyn.

And she waits.
