It was a stupid place for a portkey to land someone, Draco couldn’t help but think as he cast yet another warning charm and strengthened the imperius that was keeping his coat and hair dry from the heavily falling snow.

Glancing at his watch, he huffed impatiently, he'd been standing here for twenty minutes and the portkey had been scheduled to arrive ten minutes ago. Anxiety, the ever constant roiling in his gut that he could never quite manage to keep at bay, was creeping up his chest, stealing into his lungs. What if something horrible had happened? What if Harry hadn't been able to make the right portkey time but hadn't been able to send him word? What if he'd been captured?

What if he'd decided that Draco wasn't worth coming back to?

He was just getting ready to send a patronus to one of Harry's friends to see if they knew something he didn't when there was a loud crack and Harry staggered to the ground, frying pan in hand.

For a moment they just stood there, looking at one another. He'd changed in the seven months he'd been away, breaking apart a neo-death eater movement in the States. His beard had grown in, cut short and close to his face, and his hair had grown out, wild dark curls brushed his shoulders in the wind.

But so much of him was so dear, so familiar, and Draco ached with it. His eyes prickled and stung, and he wished he could have blamed it on the cold.

"Draco," Harry whispered, voice sounding as wrecked as Draco felt, and then Harry's arms were around him, holding him tight, crushing their bodies together.

They staggered a little, bodies slipping in the snow, but Harry only clung to him more tightly. "I-" he started and then broke off because he couldn't quite manage any words.

"I missed you," Harry breathed, beard scraping against Draco's cheek as he pressed kisses all over his face. "Godric, Draco. I missed you more than I can-" he shook his head. "It's so good to see you, to hold you. I missed you every single day.”

“Me too,” he whispered, tilting his head in an attempt to catch Harry’s lips. Eventually he gave it up as lost and clasped his face in his hands to keep it still so he could kiss him.

When they broke apart several long minutes later, Draco could feel the wet seeping into Harry’s clothes. “Come on,” he said, “you’ll catch a chill. Let’s go home.”

Harry grinned and pressed one more kiss to Draco’s lips, “I promised I’d be home for Christmas.”

“You did,” he affirmed.

Harry nudged Draco’s nose with his, “can I make you another?”

“Another promise?”

With a nod, Harry dropped to one knee and opened a ring case, “Draco, I love you, with all that I am. I promise to spend the rest of my life loving you. I promise that no mission will ever take me from you for this long again.”

“Harry-” he said, covering his mouth. “I-”

“I’m sorry I was late. I wanted to hand in my resignation so I’d be able to promise you that I’ll never leave and mean it. Will you marry me?”

He blinked back tears, trying to clear his vision. “Yes. Harry, of course, yes.” In spite of the snow, he dropped to his knees in front of Harry and kissed him.

Harry slid the ring onto his finger but Draco never broke the kiss, nothing could compare to the feeling of Harry’s lips against his.

50 words and pining Draco for @drarrymicrofic’s song prompt Smooth by Santana feat. Rob Thomas

The fourth martini loosens Draco’s tongue. “Everybody knows people don’t mean what they say during sex,” he says and even nods a little, as if that settles it.

Pansy’s eyebrows shoot up. “What did you say?” Then, “what did he say?”

Draco stirs his drink, frowns. “He didn’t mean it.”

Microfic: Stolen Thunder

for @drarrymicrofic prompt 'thunder'

"He's arrogant. Completely reckless." Harry paces in their tiny shared office in Gringotts.

"I cannot believe I am having a conversation about recklessness with someone who stuck his hand into a pit last week instead of contacting Explosives because it would be too slow," Ron says.

"He's not even that good of a Curse-breaker."

"You know that is not true."

"And—"

Ron beats him to the punch.

"Yes, yes, Malfoy took credit for Vault #30512 after implementing your new protocol," Ron recites tiredly. "I've heard."

"Bill can't expect us to be partners."

"You two deserve each other," Padma chimes in.

[stazvlt]

Fashion

Harry thought letting Draco dress him up is probably the better choice since he's quite clueless about fashion. Bonus point that Draco will be happy for the rest of the day.

Charged

Spooky, everything covered in old bedsheets. Fitting for October. Cartoonish little ghosts, stationary and a bit smelly—shit, smelly, the whole place was reeking. Not making the best impression here, Harry. He didn’t think it through. Most of his projects started this way: a half-arsed excuse posing as a plan, a murmuring disquiet in his chest. No-no-no turned into maybe, into fine, into you know what? And then charging forward. Harry liked this part best: charging forward. Which was how he found himself here, sitting on the hideous carpet in the middle of his living room. Why was it so hard? The carpet, he meant. Rough material, scratchy on his skin. Hard.

He told Malfoy he wanted to get rid of it. Of everything, that he wanted it all different, new. And Malfoy stood there, with his jacket and his clipboard, tapping his chin with this look on his face. Came close, really close, and said:

“We can’t change everything. Would be silly, anyway, trying to make it new instead of better. If you trust me—”

And Harry was breathless with how much he wanted to shout it, with how it itched and scratched under his skin. Couldn’t find the words, just nodded. And Malfoy smiled, shook his head, like he didn’t quite believe it, like it didn’t matter. Said he’ll take the job, thank god. But only if Harry promised not to be an arse about it.

A bit hard, that.

“Potter?”

He jumped to his feet with a start. Completely missed the keys jangle, the light footfalls, the usual signs of Malfoy in the house. Normally he had a few seconds to prepare, to breathe, but like this, caught—Harry coughed himself to near-death, rubbed his eyes till they stung.

“Bad time?”

He forced himself to blink, to look up. Malfoy, long-legged, in his jacket, neat hair, this unsure line of his smile.

“Pardon?”

“Did I come at a bad time? You seem… preoccupied.”

“Oh. Oh, no, not—you’re fine. I was just… strange, isn’t it. All this empty space.”

Malfoy raised an eyebrow. “Well, the furniture won’t arrive until Monday. You signed up for this, remember.”

“I know, I know.”

He sighed, overburdened but a little fond about it. “Come here, give me your hand.”

“Wha—” it was instinct, more than anything now, obeying him without a second thought. Malfoy took both of Harry’s hands, placed one on his shoulder, stretched the other out. Put his own hand on Harry’s waist. “Malfoy?”

“Empty can be good,” was his explanation, which Harry only barely caught. “Leaves space for movement. Dance, you berk, I know you know how.”

“Why…?”

“You’re too tense,” he said. Was his voice always like that? Low and so soft? “If we’re to be working together, I need you to learn how to relax.”

Harry let himself be twirled. Malfoy’s slanted smile, the way he smelled, lemony-sharp, some of the most captivating powers in this world.

Hard. Why was it all so… hard.

First Line Game

I was just thinking that I haven't seen one of these floating about in a while, so decided to start one. These are the general rules but I think people should play fast and loose with this - take part however you want and please tag me, as the last time we did this as a fandom, I found loads of brilliant fics to read and was reminded of many more I had already read! Here are mine: all Drarry except one Dron.

List the first lines of your last 10 stories (if you have fewer than 10, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 people!

Howl (M, 9k, werewolf Drarry): Draco woke up on a Friday morning in a field hospital in Grasmere, without a single memory of how he had got there.

Take the Moon (M, 15k, dad Draco, stepdad Harry, also werewolf Harry lmao): “I’ll do it, of course I’ll fucking do it,” Draco was saying, which didn’t make any sense, because he was supposed to be at work; maybe Harry was hallucinating him.

The Edge of Something (M, 1.5k, ghost sex which was basically the very reason i wrote the fic): “Well, the good news is that I’m not dead,” Malfoy said, the voice so very much his that it brought Harry out of bed and to his knees.

Far Side (M, 1k, werewolf Harry yet again and also good dad Draco yet again, what can i say i'm in a loop): Harry has a photo on his desk; he says it’s his favourite.

Snow on Snow (T, 1.1k, fake dating turned into safe house shenanigans): On the first night in the safe house, Harry was woken every hour by church bells.

Dreaming Skies (Dron, E, 20k, dragon tamer Ron and Draco who has nowhere else to go): Everything tasted better after working so hard all day that your palms bled.

Countdown to a Life (E, 3.5k, little moments in the first year of their relationship): Night-time, all the lights of London laid out in front of them from the balcony of Dean Thomas’s mum’s flat, the week before Christmas.

A Little Death Never Hurt Anyone (E, 4.2k, Master of Death Harry who is going through the Veil to try to raise the dead to help him defeat Voldemort): Draco was the only one awake when Harry got back.

Relic Radiation (M, 1k, Draco goes into space): “At least he waited until now. For Scorp's sake, I mean.”

Mortal Frame (M, 6.6k, Bellatrix left a Horcrux and Draco and Harry must track it down): The pub is called the Red Lion, and Harry thinks Draco might have chosen it on purpose, just for the name.

Hmm, I will admit that I don't think any of these are absolute bangers if I'm honest. Howl was supposed to start with "Something was burning" which I loved, but I had to switch things around so that's now further on in the fic. That said, I think my writing is better now than it used to be, even if the first lines don't necessarily reflect that. I have no patterns, clearly, though I was surprised to see myself starting with dialogue in quite a few of those, as I don't usually think of myself as a good dialogue writer.

My favourite of these is probably Countdown - I'm weak for a long run-on stream-of-consciousness sentence. Or maybe Edge as that would make me as a reader want to know what is happening (why might Draco have been dead??), or Snow because that gives a nice bit of set-up without feeling too heavy.

I did also cheat as the line from Dreaming Skies isn't the first line of the fic, it's the first line of the bit I wrote - @sweet-s0rr0w no doubt did start with a banger but it didn't feel right to nab that as my own.

I would really love to read everyone's so do please tag me if you do it!

[mxlfoydraco]

Hello! I came upon one of your rec list on the drarry tag earlier and I was wondering if you still do them? If so, do you know any drarry fic that is draco + career centered? Like draco being excellent at his job and it being more in the foreground. Something like Heal Thyself by astolat or Little Red Courgette by blamebrampton. Competent draco is the norm but I was wondering if you know of more fics that explores his/their careers more :) Love your blog 💕

Hello friend! I'm very tentatively doing recs always with the caveat that I'm not super up to date. I think majority of the fics in the Draco-centric list fit this description so I'll add onto that without repeating myself.

All Our Secrets Laid Bare by @firethesound (2014, E, 150k)

Over the six years Draco Malfoy has been an Auror, four of his partners have turned up dead. Harry Potter is assigned as his newest partner to investigate just what is going on.

What Dreams May Come by @firethesound (36k)

If Harry had to get called into work on his day off, at least he was able to get Malfoy called in too.

Any Instrument by @dictacontrion (131k)

Draco Malfoy wouldn't go back to England for anything less than an exceptional case. Being asked to figure out why Harry Potter can't control his magic might be exceptional enough to qualify.

The Vanishing Department by @dictacontrion (47k)

The things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, even if that involves a lot more form-filling, bickering, covert glancing, miscommunication, and flying furniture than we might expect.

The Ordeal of Being Known by @lou-isfake (146k)

When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, there's unfortunately only one person in the country with the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It's obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Draco's never been able to back down from a challenge… especially from Potter.

Balance, Imperfect by @bixgirl1 (91k)

When Harry sustains an injury in the line of work, he no longer knows how to navigate the life he loved, and finds help and solace from the most unexpected source.

The Four Doors by @fluxweeed (48k)

It’s been four months since Harry lost his memory. Four months of dead ends and no answers. With time running out until his memories are gone for good, Harry agrees to a course of Legilimency therapy with a renowned specialist: Mind Healer Draco Malfoy.

Open for Repairs by @drarrytrash (34k)

After the war, Draco works at a tv repair shop and Harry breaks things. feat. sad boys in jumpers and more ABBA than is probably necessary

What We Pretend We Can't See by gyzym (131k)

Seven years out from the war, Harry learns the hard truth of old history: it’s never quite as far behind you as you thought.

Foundations!verse by Saras_Girl (364k)

Harry is about to discover that the steepest learning curve comes after Healer training, and that second chances can be found in unexpected places.

All Life is Yours to Miss by Saras_Girl (114k) Professor Malfoy’s world is contained, controlled, and as solitary as he can make it, but when an act of petty revenge goes horribly awry, he and his trusty six-legged friend are thrown into Hogwarts life at the deep end and must learn to live, love and let go.

Taking Chances by @gracerene (135k)

After the war, Draco disappeared and started over in America, vowing never to return to Great Britain and the fraught past he left behind. Unfortunately, when his mates convince him to sign up for an exchange programme for the last year of their Auror Training, Draco learns that he doesn't have much of a choice in the matter.

Conquering the Dark by @noeeon (23k)

Harry's a Healer specialising in the care of children, Draco Malfoy's an expert in neuromagic at St Mungo's. A difficult case forces them to work together and, in the process, unearths some of the trauma of the past, as well as the chance for healing in the present.

The Printed Press by Soupy_George (119k)

Draco has worked hard to gain a reputation as an unbiased reporter for the Prophet. He never imagined this would lead to Harry Potter offering him a job, or how much accepting said job would change his life.

Home Truths by @skeptiquewrites (67k)

In the off-season Harry decided to fix up Grimmauld Place and found that Draco Malfoy was the only person who could help him. A demanding career and unrelenting press scrutiny were enough to deal with before Harry added a house with a mind of its own, family history, and a tense, flirty, complicated relationship with his childhood nemesis to the mix.

All the Earnest Young Men by @tepre (29k)

All over London portraits are disappearing from their canvases. Auror Harry! Expert-in-Magical-Art-Theory Draco! There's running, dancing, falling through ice, what’s this paper giraffe doing here? A great time was had by all.

Under Giant Mountains by @wolfpants (33k)

Harry doesn't know where he's going. Everyone else has their life paths figured out; he doesn't even know where his map is. Who'd have thought Draco Malfoy bathing in a Norwegian forest would be the guidepost Harry needed? In which Harry's trip to Norway to visit dragon-wrangler Ron introduces him to hikes from hell, mysterious natural magic, foraging, magical bathing, a new and bizarre friendship, and the frustrating, heady allure of his former nemesis turned sexy globetrotting field researcher.

Paper Rings by @lettersbyelise (50k)

When Harry’s in need of a divorce lawyer, he has no choice but to turn to the best in the trade. Draco Malfoy’s reputation for discretion is flawless, and his track record for winning cases is close to perfect. But he’s also ruthless, passionate, and as infuriating as ever, and the brief relationship he and Harry had in Eighth Year still feels painfully fresh despite two decades spent apart. What Harry and Draco used to be is all in the past. And surely they can work together in these new, emotionally charged circumstances without falling in love all over again… can’t they?

The Kisses Don’t Count, If No One Else Knows by oldenuf2nb (41k)

Minister for Magic Harry Potter does not love his job. The one bright point in his life is his secret relationship with Quidditch Super Star Draco Malfoy. When they're 'outed' by a peeping tom with a camera, Harry has to decide what's really important.

The Truth About Love by @amywaterwings (52k)

In which Draco is a high-powered magical divorce lawyer and Harry is the Unspeakable assigned to seduce him. It goes as well as one might expect.

Picking Up Pieces series by TessaCrowley (22k + 21k) The Unbearable Burden of Caring: Fifteen years after the War, Draco is a social recluse and award winning author. Harry is an auror who works too hard, ensuring his old war wounds never heal. They meet at a masque ball, unaware of each other’s identities. In another situation, it would have been love at first sight. But for them, it would never be so simple. Sins and Scars and Shattered Things:  Fifteen years have passed since the War, but the wizarding world isn’t quite ready to forgive Draco Malfoy for his past sins, or for being in love with Harry Potter. For a former Death Eater who escaped conviction, it is a trial by fire.

Coffee, Cakes and Doorknob Snakes by Omi_Ohmy (40k)

Harry's house is trying to kill him, and only one person can help him: pity it's Draco Malfoy

I Do Not Love You by Writ_and_romance (228k)

In 2013, a carefully-designed Obliviation leaves Harry reconfiguring his life and identity without any memories of true love; an act that's essentially erased Draco Malfoy from his mind despite a wedding band and shared home. In 2000, Draco had expected Pansy's relationship with Luna to bring the Gryffindors a bit closer to his orbit of quiet, carefully pacifistic existence, but he never expected to navigate such a transparent embrace into a unit of family, friendship, and love. A mystery, two love stories, and a reminder that learning to love never has an end date.

I wanted to draw a comic about them and saw this post down here made by @railmeharrypotter so, yeah! That's the result ❤️
