One Day, For You

Written for @drarrymicrofic’s song prompt: we fell in love in october by girl in red  | Rating: M | Warnings: Smoking, References to (past) Alcoholism, References to Harry’s Child Abuse | Read on Ao3

Draco places a cigarette between his teeth, ignoring the feel of Harry’s eyes scorching through the back of his head. 

They’ve talked about Draco’s smoking habit, amongst many other things:

Harry doesn't like it when Draco goes for days without sleeping due to the nature of his job as a Healer, so he started limiting his slot appointments to fifteen each day. 

Draco doesn’t like it when Harry drinks his problems away, so Harry only drinks occasionally and in moderation now. 

Harry doesn’t like it when Draco keeps his darkest thoughts to himself, so he acquired a journal as to avoid bottling up his emotions. 

Draco doesn’t like it when Harry would lie about being sick, even though Draco knows it’s the result of Harry’s neglect from his childhood. So Harry allows Draco to run diagnostic tests on him when he feels a bit under the weather.

Harry doesn’t like it when Draco smokes, but Draco does it anyway.

“It’s bad for your lungs,” Harry says. 

“I know,” Draco deadpans. “I’m a Healer.” 

“I don’t like it.” 

“I know.” Draco echoes. “Please don’t ask me to stop. I will, for you, if you asked. But I can’t. It’s the only thing I have, Harry.” 

A defeated expression flashes across Harry’s face. Draco wants to take it all back. He didn’t mean it that way. 

“You have me,” Harry says quietly. 

Draco inhales, holds the fumes inside his mouth for a couple seconds, before pursing his lips and blowing smoke out. He developed this habit when he was twenty years old, shortly after a difficult split with a Muggle man whom he opted to date just because he was young and stupid. Also in addition to having a very abnormal reaction to Harry dating Ginevra Weasley. 

He will stop one day, just not now. He can’t. He won’t. 

Silence settles between them until Draco finishes two sticks. He crushes the last one beneath his boot, looking at Harry as he does so. 

“One day, I will, for you,” Draco says. “For both of us. Just not now.” 

“Okay.” Harry nods. They both know neither of them are strangers to bad habits. 

“Okay.” Draco echoes. “Coffee?” 

Harry nods before leaning in and kissing Draco in the mouth, despite the lingering taste of mint and tobacco on his tongue. 

Draco sighs softly, running his hands through Harry’s curls, grateful that Harry loves him enough to understand. He intends to stop smoking one day. He wants to. But for now, he won’t. 

–

Note: Dedicated to my friends who worry about me. I won't ask you not to because I appreciate it. I love you. I love smoking too. I am an adult, unfortunately.

the day you were sentenced to azkaban

When I saw this fantastic piece by @longdaytogo I couldn't stop myself from writing - look at Harry's face! Draco's tension! The hands! So, here's 1.3k words of artsy, self-indulgent angst wrapped up with a hopeful ending. If you like it, thank my betas, @wecanthavenicethingx and @starlitsilvereyes for making it so much better, and being so encouraging that I was able to share it 💜 Read on ao3, or below!

The day you were sentenced to Azkaban, you were all alone. Your father had already been taken away to a life in prison, starting with a year of solitary confinement; and your mother had been sent back to the Manor to begin her house arrest. You were on your own, stoic and pale and thin and drawn in the chair in the center of the room, darting glances around the court and staring at the floor in turn. You flinched when the Wizengamot announced your fate; five months in Azkaban, a strict parole after that. You were silent, just bowed your head and trembled, but the Wizangemot chastened you anyway, reminding you of your crimes, and outlining exactly how severe your punishment would have been if you had been a year older when you took the Mark, one of them shuffling their papers and mockingly wishing you a happy birthday a day in advance; you didn’t say anything, so I did, standing up because I couldn’t stay seated anymore and trying to protest, so tired of all the hate and vitriol that hadn’t stopped even after everything.

Hermione stopped me, of course. She pulled me back down onto the bench and she and Ron kept me there until the Wizengamot had all but filed out, trying, I’m sure, to keep me from making any more headlines or forcing the court to give me an official censure. But once the worst of them had left the room, and only a few plum-coloured hats could be seen at the door, I broke free, and reached you before the Aurors coming from the edges of the room did. You were still standing from when you were required to out of decorum for the magistrates, and your hair had fallen across your face, so I couldn’t see the look on your face, but I could still imagine it. I’d seen it on enough other faces during the previous few years, and by that point, I knew exactly what despair and fear and panicked isolation looked like.

We had both been children, caught up in a war from the first year of our lives, and I felt that youth more in that moment than any before. I was so young and powerless, you looked so small and fragile, and I wanted to cry for how tired I was from being angry all the time for all the problems that hadn’t yet been resolved. I don’t even know what I thought I was going to do, why I was approaching you in the first place - you were just all alone, standing there, and looking at you in that moment felt like looking into a mirror, because that was how I felt too, even surrounded by so many people. Everyone else seemed to have their name intertwined with someone else’s; Ron-and-Hermione, Molly-and-Arthur, Bill-and-Fleur. Ginny and I had never really been Harry-and-Ginny, we hadn’t been given the time to forge that link properly, and it fizzled out before we could solidify it; when she moved on to be Ginny-and-Neville, I was left alone as just Harry. And in that moment, when I saw you standing by yourself in the middle of the room, you were just Draco, just like me.

I didn’t go up to you because I wanted to become Harry-and-Draco (although I am so glad to be linked with you now, our names connected on every legal document and letter we sign), I just walked over to you because you were all alone and I was too, and it made sense in that moment that we should be all alone together.

I think I started trying to apologize, for not doing more to help you, for how the Wizengamot treated you, for my part in our petty, schoolboy rivalry; I think I started to tell you that it would be okay, that it would only be a few months, and the dementors were gone now and so it wouldn’t be fun, but you would be alright, but I don’t think I got any of those words out of my mouth.

You shook your head, a small no, and the sight of the tears pooling in your eyes silenced me before I could begin. You were so absolute, so determined to be proper even after everything, and you told me… you told me no. You said, “Thank you, Potter, but you’ve done more than anyone could have asked of you already.” Your lower lip trembled a bit on the last word, despite your best efforts, and I couldn’t stop myself from acting once more, despite my best efforts (although I didn’t really try my best to stop myself).

I hugged you, and you trembled like a leaf, frozen other than the little tremors that wracked your whole body. You kept your arms stiff at your sides, and I could feel you tightening your chin where it pressed into my shoulder, determined not to let your tears or defenses fall.

It took a few moments, but then you inhaled, deep and shuddery, and you grabbed onto me like we were still fleeing the Fiendfyre, and I held you back, just as tight. I saw the Aurors start moving in again, coming to take you away, and I pulled you even closer, watched them falter with uncertainty as I held you and let you cry out your tears and put yourself together again.

I didn’t cry, but I did a good deal of self-repair for myself while we stood there. You were holding me like I’d never been held before, like you needed me, like you wanted me to be there, like you cared about me and wanted to give as much comfort as you were getting. I thought, at the time, that might have been wishful thinking on my behalf, just more of my loneliness striking out at an empty void, but I was so glad to hear you tell me, later, whispering under cool linen sheets on a hot summer night that you felt the same way then. I just wanted to comfort you, and be comforted myself, in a way I hadn’t previously known.

A few moments more, and I started to think too much. I could see the Aurors moving again, and their motion in the corner of my eye made all my thoughts come back, moving too fast and looming too big to focus on them. I didn’t want to let you go, and yet I was going to have to, I would have no choice in what happened yet again. I wanted to keep giving you comfort, I wanted to let you take everything you needed, while you held me right back, and that was warm and safe and terrifying, because you were Draco Malfoy and I was Harry Potter, and I didn’t know what that meant anymore.

(I know what it means now. But we weren’t Draco-and-Harry then. There were still two more years ahead of us before we got the first letter addressed to Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy, together, and it was another ten months after Luna’s baby shower that we even talked about making that link permanent. It took us five years from that first hug in the Ministry for us to return there to sign our names on the license that made us legally Draco-and-Harry Malfoy-Potter.)

I held you, and I held you, and I held you. I didn’t figure anything out then, and I don’t think I fixed any problems in those too-short seconds either, but I felt better, even as we clung to each other tighter still in the moments when the Aurors reached us and started to gently pull us apart.

The day you were sentenced to Azkaban, I watched you walk away between crimson-robed Aurors, and I started counting down to December, when I could see you again, and when things might start to feel alright.

Harry Potter Rec Fest Day 11 - Dark Fics

I don't seek out a lot of dark fics. I'll read them if they cross my browser or kindle, but I gravitate more toward fluff and save the dark stuff for "published fiction" or just "the news". That's probably why these fics stuck out to me particularly, because I wasn't left with the warm fuzzy feeling. Some dark things for @hprecfest day 11 ...

The Unknown Door by @amywaterwings Pairing: Draco x Harry Word count: 60,970 Rating: E

This fic was part of @hderised last year. Boy does it pack a wallop of feelings. Get ready for addiction, death, child neglect, torture, people experiencing homelessness, discrimination against all kinds of people and creatures. It's a lot. It's also really real because of all that. @amywaterwings creates an apartment building filled with unique and uniformly loveable (but still dark) original characters and the lore goes deep. A beautifully despairing peek into a less magical part of Magical Britain and how hopeless it can feel even when you are in a position to help. It does have a happy ending though!

Death is Not Fit to House Love by @starlitsilvereyes Pairing: Draco x Harry Word count: 20,919 Rating: E

I'm hesitant to say too much about this fic for fear of spoiling it. This was written for @hd-fan-fair Career Fair this year and I screamed aloud at the end. Featuring Politician Draco and Hit-Wizard Harry Potter.

Serious content warnings: Character death, discussion of suicide, violence

A Nasty Piece of Work written and recorded by @picascribit Pairing: Fenrir Greyback/OFC Word count: 11,198 Length: 1:10:00 Rating: E

Hard to believe that this is written by the same @picascribit who brought us cute little Scorbus at Protego Club with all their queer friends. This fic is traditional DARK. Like make you sick to your stomach dark. But also such an interesting character study. Recorded excellently, as usual, by the author themself.

Serious content warnings: Violence, Rape, Non-con, Underage, Major Character Death - this checks all the boxes, literally all the boxes on AO3

************************************************************************

And a couple of little self-recs ...

White, the colour of flowers by @lumosatnight Podfic read by Cailynwrites Pairing: Draco x Harry Word count: 3,203 Length: 23:35 Rating: T

A beautiful, poetic multi-ending fic taking place during the second war. Draco has Hanahaki disease and it's angsty, but it has a happy ending. Mostly it's just like floating through sad space, but like, in a good way.

Devour the One You Love also by @starlitsilvereyes Podfic read by Cailynwrites for @hp-mcd-fest 2023 Pairing: Draco x Harry Word count: 28,102 Length: 2:33:56 Rating: E

@starlitsilvereyes writes an incredible story here. It's non-linear, which I personally think is incredibly difficult and impressive. It's suspenseful, has jump scares, and ends with horrible horrible things happening. Possibly the darkest fic I've ever read. Enjoy!

Content warning: Violence, death, psychological abuse, self-harm, dub-con, cannibalism

Happy Be an Angel Day 👼🏻!

[ronbinary]

desperation, devotion

“He’s dead.” Draco’s voice is shaky.

Harry pulls the mobile closer to his ear and turns the volume down. “What?”

“He’s dead,” Draco repeats. “I killed him.”

“Fuck.”

“I know. I’m sorry, Harry, I didn’t—”

“It’s fine.” Harry squeezes his eyes shut, thinking hard. “Where are you?”

“Camden Town. Near the market.”

“Don’t move. I’ll be right there. Stay hidden.”

Harry pinches the bridge of his nose.

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. Robards is dead.

It’s only a matter of time before he and Draco are too.

A casual comment to @getawayfox about me sharing her love for poetry resulted in a conversation that spiralled into the push I needed to get my poetry recs into the wild. It's made even better by the fact that I got to collab with her on it!

behind the glass

written for @drarrymicrofic prompt 'ephemera' | 211 words | G | No Warnings | thank you to @starlitsilvereyes for the beta and @helle-bored for the title help

There's a Harry Potter exhibit in the hidden north wing of the British Museum. Disguised as an exhibition space under renovation, it contains the largest repository of information about the Savior aside from the man himself.

Included in the exhibit are:

Numerous passed notes, short journal entries, and other writings penned by Potter during his school years

Sixteen grainy polaroid photos of Harry Potter, age twelve

A scroll of parchment, covered in hurriedly scribbled signatures, Potter’s name at the top

Shards of a Firebolt handle

A tattered t-shirt, powder blue with navy collar

The jagged fragment of a small mirror, which shows an eerie blue eye every so often

Two irreparable halves of a Holly wand—eleven inches long, holly wood, phoenix feather core

Two men stand in the exhibit, shoulder to shoulder.

“It’s just weird,” the dark haired one sighs.

“What is?” his blond companion asks.

“All of this stuff, here. I never meant to keep half of this, and now it’s telling my life story.”

“It’s only part of the story. It’s still your life.”

“I’m just tired of everyone feeling like they know me personally.”

The blond man reaches across the gap between himself and his companion. He tangles their fingers together.

Some things, not even the museum knows.

(Satur)day TLC Zone 🤗

Thanks for the tag, @isamijoo, @starlitsilvereyes, @softlystarstruck, and the boy™ @corvuscrowned!! And thanks, @the-starryknight for keeping this lovely ritual going! This week it's self-recs:

Flight Patterns (8.6k | E)

Summary: Up in the air, Draco can become anyone he wants to be, or cease to be anyone at all. When he puts on his flight attendant's uniform he's just one more smiling face in the crowd, a forgettable interlude in his passengers' day. Not a petrified boy, not a criminal, not a Wizard just trying to keep it together as best he can. That is until a certain someone interrupts his flight patterns.

Excerpt:

As if Draco’s racing thoughts summoned him, Harry appears right next to their row. One hand is shoved into his pocket and the other is carding through his hair. Draco is immediately struck by the fact that it’s short now, and relatively tidy. His beard, too, has been trimmed and looks much softer than last time. Draco briefly rejoices for the sensitive skin of his throat before shaking that ridiculous thought right out of his head.

Lena snuffles quietly and shifts slightly in her seat.

Hi, Harry mouths, both hands now shoved into his pocket. Draco thinks he might be blushing, but he can’t be sure now that the cabin lights have been turned off.

Draco’s eyes start to water from the fact that he’s been staring, wide-eyed, at Harry unblinking.

Hi, he mouths back, eyebrows raised.

Harry tilts his head toward the lavatory, a cheeky grin spreading across his face. Draco looks around demonstratively, waving one hand to indicate that we are surrounded by people, people who can see us, Harry.

Harry rolls his eyes and twists his wrist. Draco feels a gentle wave of magic spark and roll over his skin. Notice-me-not Harry mouths, tilts his head again, and turns to walk away before Draco can respond.

Draco manages to very slowly extricate himself from his seat and contort himself obscenely over Lena so as not to wake her.

Just like last time, Harry’s mouth is on Draco’s, hot and greedy, before he can even fully lock the door. Unlike last time, he breaks the kiss quickly and looks into Draco’s eyes, one palm gently cradling his face.

“Haven’t stopped thinking about you,” he exhales against Draco’s lips.

This was a completely indulgent bit of pwp that I really enjoyed writing! I'm late to the party, so I'm just going to tag a few (more) folks whose work I could read again and again: @nv-md, @vukovich, @fw00shy, @hogwartsfirebolt, @americanmoths

🍓 What’s a fic you’ve written you feel is underrated?

Oryx & Stag. It’s a short drabble, literally just under 700 words, but it’s some of the best and coolest writing I’ve done, IMO. I’m very proud of it. Plus!! It’s got art from the inimitable @starlitsilvereyes so honestly if anything just go see the art bc it’s SO COOL!!

sixish sentenceish sundayish

thank u to the remarkable @shah-writes​ for the tag and for leaking more Jesus in L.A.!!!  i’m balancing out all my cooking fluff for this week by sharing an angsty snip from a long-time breakup/makeup WIP 😈 

It’s not the first time this has happened. Draco talked about leaving a lot. Sometimes with Harry, but mostly without him. So far, Harry had always been able to talk him down. So far, the sun rose in the east and set in the west. But sometimes when Harry woke before daybreak, he still wondered.

Draco is in a familiar state. He doesn’t speak much when he gets like this, but he works meticulously. As Harry watches from the doorframe of their bedroom, the carefully matched elements of his robes levitate out of the closet, lazily hang in the air, and are then folded with the diligent efficiency of practiced magic. They drop into a case. 

“Draco,” Harry says. It’s not a question or a plea; it’s just to let him know that he’s home, is there to talk if Draco wants to. Draco rarely does.

He walks past Harry as if he isn’t there. His eyes are red and bleary. There is a script by now: Harry pleading, begging, trying to hold or kiss or fuck sense into him, to try to make him believe. Draco’s role is much smaller. He mostly sighs and grumbles and groans. Most of his lines are a single word: No. 

It hangs between them like a spectre, the dance they usually move through. But Harry can’t do it. Not again. Not now. 

So he just says: “Draco.” 

And Draco acts as if he hasn’t heard a thing.

★ wip folder ★

thanks for the tag @orange-peony! this is going to be embarrassing lmao

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips.  I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? Dnd campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!

genuinely i don't think i know enough people to tag one person per fic, so i'm just gonna list some people. many apologies if you've already been tagged. @softlystarstruck, @lou-isfake, @starlitsilvereyes, @ronbinary, @corvuscrowned, @cavendishbutterfly, @m0srael

[drarrymybeloved]

thank you for the tag @crazybutgood & @softlystarstruck i'm v excited after seeing all your brilliant goals 👀 this is a fab idea @corvuscrowned, a great way to ring in the new year 🙌🏼 i also made a banner because....any excuse to make one, am i right?

2021 was the year i started writing for fandom — writing in general really — and it's been an amazing learning experience! i've found a community of really cool people (special shout out to @drarrymicrofic) and i've pleasantly surprised myself with my writing. in that spirit, here are my goals for 2022:

✰ my biggest goal for 2022 is to stop writing with the sole intent of publishing! i've noticed that practically everything i write, i write with the end goal of sharing it on tumblr/ao3, and while there's nothing wrong with that, i want to focus on writing for the sake of writing, first and foremost. not even writing to finish a story, just writing an unconnected scene or whatever, that i don't intend on sharing with anyone.

✰ this next goal is sort of connected to the first: write that damn conversation!! i have various fictional characters living rent free in my head and they end up talking to each other a lot (way to not sound like a crazy person nim👍🏼👍🏼). i often find myself idly thinking "oh that was good, i should write that down" only to not do so because it has no context (yet) and/or i'm feeling lazy. no more of that in 2022!! who knows, just by typing out a few exchanges, i might accidentally stumble upon the perfect context. but that won't happen until i actually open the damn document.

✰ write smut 😂 not because i feel like it's something i need to do, now or eventually, because it's not! you can perfectly well never write smut if you're so inclined. but i want to experiment with it, because i've never written it and i do love a challenge. maybe it'll be shit and i won't like it, and maybe it won't, but i want to give myself space to play around with it on my own, with no outside eyes (until i feel ready for that, if i do).

✰ write plot. when i say write plot, i don't necessarily mean write long fic, because even short fic can pack a lot of plot as well. whether it's 5k or 15k, i want to write things with a substantive-ish plot and structure, that has a clear beginning, middle and end.

✰ participate in at least 2 fests! i won't hold myself too strictly to this goal, because life does seem to have a habit of imploding at inconvenient times, but honestly i would love to achieve this! fluff fest was SUCH a lovely experience, i want more of that next year.

✰ get better at commenting 😩 the joy i feel when i get a comment on one of my fics is such a rush and i honestly need to give that back to the authors i read and love.

✰ and finally — and this is a very me thing i need to work on — stop with the comparisons! i've gotten better at this over time spent in fandom and in fandom spaces (all thanks to the lovely, encouraging people in fandom 💕) but if i'm not comparing kudos and hits and comments, then i end up comparing fandom presence (which, to be totally honest, i don't even fully understand comprises of so 😭) and that's really detrimental to my confidence in myself in general, not just as a writer.

i'm pretty sure at this point all of the drarry squad has been summoned 😂 sorry if i end up double (or triple) tagging you! @nv-md @hogwartsfirebolt @callmegri @gallifrey1sburning @tackytigerfic @april-thelightfury115 @cluelesspigeons @moonflower-rose @starlitsilvereyes @phoebe-delia @isamijoo @wheezykat @orange-peony @the-starryknight and anyone else who fancies, jump in if you like!
