    Summary

    Harry is lost and broken after the war. He has gone to countless funerals, broken up with Ginny, moved back into Grimmauld Place—which feels darker and dirtier than ever before despite how much he tries to fix it. He feels lonely and desperate, but he won’t ask for help, and he still can’t cry.

    When he agreed to help the Aurors at Malfoy Manor over the summer, he thought that he would be breaking dark curses. Harry never thought that he would actually spend his days sorting out dusty books with Draco Malfoy, or teaching him how to cook.

    Little by little, as they begin to navigate their life post-war, Harry and Draco become intimate…in more ways than Harry could have ever expected.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy knew his final year at Hogwarts would be hard, but he hadn’t expected this kind of pain — sharp, physical, and constant. Returning wasn’t a choice; it was a sentence that the Ministry wrapped up in false politeness. The curse under his skin made sure of that. Every time someone mentioned the war — whether whispered in pity or shouted in anger — a searing jolt would rip through him, leaving him struggling to breathe, to stand, to seem unaffected.

    Only his friends, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, and Theodore Nott, knew the truth. They kept the secret close, sharing the weight of it silently. To everyone else, Draco Malfoy was a ghost of who he used to be… quieter, colder, with edges sharp enough to cut.

    On the other hand, Harry Potter watched from afar. What puzzled him this year, however, was Theodore Nott’s newfound role as Malfoy’s constant shadow. Where Malfoy went, Nott followed, his presence protective yet suspiciously close.

    Harry didn’t know what it was, but something about Malfoy felt charged, like the air before lightning strikes. It was raw. It was electric. And no matter how hard he tried, Harry couldn’t look away.

    Summary

    “You were writing,” he says suddenly. “While I got our food.”
    Draco keeps his eyes on the road. “Maybe.”
    “What were you - “
    Draco turns into their exit - the school gates are right ahead. He slows down as he goes over the speed-bumps. “I don’t know. Just...things. Things I think about.”
    He can feel Harry watching him, the burning weight of his eyes. “Like?”

     

    Summer, he thinks. Exams. Life painted over in shades of gold and copper and bronze, the feeling of time spilling out of cupped hands, sunsets and sunrises and all the small things in the world that can be romanticized.
    You.

     

    or; exam week, but make it poetic and aesthetic and drarry.

    Summary

    There’s blood on the ice.

    It’s not a surprise, really, considering how hard he’s just been checked from behind into the boards, but his entire body hurts so badly at the moment that he can’t quite discern exactly where the blood is even coming from. That is, until a second later, when the taste of copper invades his mouth.

    Draco gets painfully to his skates and heads to the bench as number 7 gets a penalty for boarding and skates off towards the penalty box, looking entirely unapologetic.

    He takes a seat next to Blaise, who cringes in sympathy and hands him his water bottle. “You okay?”

    Draco rinses his mouth out, spits a watery red mess onto the ground. He runs his tongue carefully over each one of his teeth, making sure they’re all still intact and accounted for.

    “Harry Potter’s a fucking tosser,” he replies, and turns narrowed eyes back to the game.
