Find all of my works here on my AO3!
I'm Cherri, and currently I write primarily for Drarry, though I do occasionally dabble in other ships. You can find me pretty much anywhere with the same username, and I am always open to DMs if you're into chatting with the socially awkward ;-)
Complete list of current works under the cut!
Fest fics:
Hurt/Comfort 2025:
Bold and Unafraid [M, 13.8k]:
After the Battle of Hogwarts, students are invited back to complete their schooling. Eager for any excuse not to think about the events of the war, Harry and Draco fall into bed together, and their relationship blurs somewhere between friends and something more. Which is totally fine with Harry, of course, until he realizes that he wants more with Draco. Specifically, he wants to be cuddled.
Carlyrarnold and I's monthly challenge, Our Compatible Hearts:
Alone in a Tower [T, 2.1k]:
Immediately following the defeat of the Dark Lord, Draco flees to the Astronomy tower to await capture and tries not to think about Harry Potter.
Blue Bundle of Joy [G, 1k, part one of Our Little Family]:
Harry and Draco welcome their first child into the world.
Background Changes Permanently [G, 3.8k, part two of Our Little Family]:
“Something is wrong with Scorpius.”
“Oh?” Draco questioned, eyes lingering on the sleeping child before they returned to his book, his free hand buried in Harry’s hair, fingertips lightly scratching at Harry’s scalp.
“Yes,” Harry agreed, one hand splayed out on Scorpius’ back, his thumb brushing slowly back and forth over their son’s spine. “He doesn’t talk.”
Flinches and False Smiles [E, 7.2k, Lucius/Narcissa]:
“You are only here because your father told you to be. That makes you easy to push around. Easy to manipulate. You’re not an orders man,” Narcissa said scathingly, her mouth twisting into a cold smirk. “You’re a follower, Lucius Malfoy. A dog.”
“I don’t know what you are hoping to accomplish,” Lucius snarled, tone cold but trembling. “But I’m finished speaking to you, and I will assure our fathers that we are not a compatible match.”
Narcissa still had a faint smile on her face even as Lucius spun on his heel, intent to march away. He’d only taken two steps when her voice called out after him, soft and sing-songey.
“Does your father know of your affinity for men?”

Lucius Malfoy's secrets become Narcissa Black's path to a better life.
Harry Potter Is (Still) Cool [G, 2.5k, Harry/Neville]:
That didn’t matter, though, because Harry definitely needed to remind the students that Defense Against the Dark Arts, and in turn Harry, was cooler than Herbology and Neville Longbottom. Who was the coolest person that Harry knew.
Lose Yourself in the Static [G, 4.9k]:
Harry arrives at a cottage with a brightly colored front door that is both completely foreign and yet somehow so familiar. Stranger still is Draco Malfoy, who doesn't find it odd that they live together in the cottage.
Matters of the Heart [G, 5.6k]:
Ever since finding out about the disease, Draco had lived in fear of developing it and falling to the same fate as his father. The terror had plagued him so stubbornly that it had manifested in third year while facing the Boggart.
He’d stood proud and confident in front of the cabinet, wand held at the ready. He’d been entirely unprepared, however, as the doors flew open and hundreds of flowers had spilled out. The class had laughed at him, but Draco had been reduced to tears and run off before anyone could question why Draco would be afraid of flowers.
And now, years later, his greatest fear was coming true.
No Money to Love You [G, 2.4k]:
Several years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco is sentenced to probation and employed at St. Mungos despite his lack of a wand. Auror Harry Potter has been assigned to his case, and slowly, friendship brews between the two of them.
Permission to Choose [G, 1k]:
When Harry Potter and his friends are captured and brought to Malfoy Manor, Draco is faced with the choice about whether to reveal Harry's identity.
Puddles of Despair [G, 6.8k]:
Draco’s umbrella has a hole in it.
Because of course it would.
Stay With Me Tonight [M, 916 words]:
“You don’t have to rush off, you know,” Draco murmurs, clutching the blanket against his still heaving chest. Harry shoots him a glance as he fumbles into his trousers, cursing softly as he nearly falls over in them. “You could just…” stay “...lay here for a bit.”
Uncomfortable Affection [T, 1.8k]:
Draco Malfoy gets back up when he’s finished straightening up the space, and his eyes fall to the stairs. He does not see Kreacher in the kitchen as he silently heads upstairs.
Kreacher had planned to curl up in his cupboard and sleep after he’d finished in the kitchen, but he finds himself trailing after Draco Malfoy up the stairs instead. He tells himself that he needs to insure the safety of the property and, reluctantly, his master, but he’s far more curious to know why the youngest Malfoy has been sneaking in almost every night.

Draco and Harry, as seen through the eyes of Kreacher.
What Was Lost [G, 23.3k, background Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland (Dead Boy Detectives)]:
Hogwarts is having a ghost problem, and Draco decides to enlist the help of Harry to help figure out what is happening to all the ghosts on the grounds. Of course, things can never be simple, and Harry and Draco uncover truths they never considered with the help of two new friends.
All other fics:
Did it For You [E, 8.8k]:
After the death of Narcissa Malfoy, Harry Potter has come to pay respects to the woman who saved his life from Voldemort and gets more than he expected when Draco follows him out.
Homemade Soup and Store Bought Bread [G, 4k]:
Harry falls ill with the flu, and who else would show up at his doorstep with homemade chicken noodle soup but Draco Malfoy?
itty bitty, teeny tiny, little slutty skirt [E, 15.1k]:
The 5 times Draco wore tiny skirts after a breakup and the 1 time he didn't have to (but did anyway)
(Let Me) Feel You Moan [E, 3.9k]:
Harry is slumped against the wall, his eyes glassy and wide behind his lenses. His mouth is parted as he breathes, lips red and slightly swollen. His hands are still grasping at Draco’s shoulders, and Draco can’t stop the smirk that curls up on his lips. He tugs at Harry’s robes with one hand, lifting the other to sign to his boyfriend.
“Off. Now.”
Harry and Draco spend their first time together in the Quidditch changing rooms.
Magic of the Holidays [T, 10.2k]:
Just as Draco had decided on a course of action, movement in the snowy sky caught his attention, and his night took a turn for the worst. Because flying in the air, heading directly for the roof Draco was currently stranded on, was a bright red sleigh and eight reindeer.
“Ho ho ho,” the Santa called out, just as the reindeer touched down upon the other side of the roof.
“Just my luck,” Draco grumbled to himself. “As if being stranded on the coldest night of my life wasn’t bad enough, I have to be rescued by a Santa.”
--
After being forced to make a hasty landing due to a dying aircraft, Tooth Fairy Draco has no choice but to complete the rest of his job on Christmas Eve hitching a ride with Santa Claus. Lucky for him, Harry is a rather good looking Santa Claus.
Misinterpreted Signs [M, 4.5k]:
“Of course you would, Harry.” Draco’s pointer finger moves slowly and exaggeratedly over his own forehead, drawing the jagged lightning bolt scar that serves as Harry’s sign name. “You wouldn’t know fashion if it bit you in the arse.”
“Hey!” Harry protests, struggling to morph his features into a look of outrage with how wide his smile is. “You’re being very rude tonight.”
Draco shrugs, a sly smile on his face. “I’m rude all the time, Harry.”
These Few Words [G, 16.9k, part one of Words on Skin]:
“What?” Draco snapped when Harry was close enough to hear him through the crowd. Harry faltered slightly, his heart leaping in his chest traitorously.
They were not soulmates.
To prove it, the retort fell easily from Harry’s lips. “Nice robes.”
Words Unheard [G, 22.6k, part two of Words on Skin]:
Draco snaps back into the role he’s meant to be playing, and he sneers, shaking Harry as aggressively as he can manage at the moment. “What?” He snarls, though isn’t sure he’s really interested in whatever Harry has to say.
“Nice robes!” Harry must be shouting because there’s a faint noise echoing in Draco’s ears, and Draco’s world seems to fall out from underneath him. Those are his words on Harry’s lips. Draco’s soulmate’s words.

Can be read as a stand-alone
Twin Snakes [G, 11k]:
Draco Malfoy comes to school wearing Slytherin green ear cuffs. They’re in the shape of snakes, twisting back and forth around the edge of his ears, a brilliant shade of green with jade diamonds encrusted into their eyes. They’re works of art, and look way more expensive than anything Harry has ever held in his hands before, including the Dursley’s fine china that Petunia insisted was worth more than the house. Harry can’t stop looking at the way the snakes curl at their tails, flicking in towards Malfoy’s inner ear in a way that almost looks uncomfortable. Malfoy laughs and throws his head back just a little, the candlelight bouncing off the diamond eyes and practically sparkling.
Something is wrong with Malfoy.
Something, of course, other than the fact that Malfoy is a complete arse.
