This is it! Our final entry for the 2019 H/D Tropes Exchange fest! Enjoy, everyone!! 

ARRANGED MARRIAGE! for TEPRE!

Title: That Old Black Magic

Author: @bixgirl1

Recipient: @tepre

Pairing(s): Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy

Rating: Explicit

Word Count: ~77.7k

Warnings: Mild dubcon (in the form of forced marriage), references to: canonical character death, childhood trauma, heavy drinking.

Content/Enticements: Arranged marriage/Marriage Law, Enemies to Lovers, Enemies to Lover-Friends, Lover-Friends to Lovers, Falling in Love, Forced Proximity, Magical Lore, Magical Theory, Family Histories, House Magic, Parseltongue Harry, Slow Emotional Burn, Very Fast Sexual One, Angry Sex, UST, Kissing, Frotting, Wanking, Anal Fingering, Oral Sex, Anal Sex

Summary: Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm – ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have changed, and when a long-dormant contract glares to life, Harry had to navigate and unexpected splintering of the path he’d thought would be easy after the war… with Draco Malfoy. 

Author’s Notes: Many, many thanks to the most gracious of all mods that have ever lived, for their support and repeated indulgences as I worked to finish this, and for hosting the fest to begin with. You guys rock. 

Also to my beta, who is amazing and brilliant and made this so much better than it might have been otherwise - thank you!!!!! 

Tepre, this assignment was an absolute dream in so many ways. I’ve admired your works since I started reading you, and I can only hope that I’ve managed to hit enough of your likes to give you something you’ll enjoy. ❤

Warnings: None

Summary: It’s 8th year at Hogwarts, students are traumatised, Hogwarts has been mostly repaired, and Fleur, current Charms Professor, wants her 8th year students to come at her with big magical projects. Harry comes up with an idea that picks Draco’s interest -repairing the Room of Requirement- and to everyone’s surprise, they decide to work with each other.

Artist’s Notes: Thanks to K for the constant support when the stress levels were too high – This is my first time doing a comic this long and it was HARD but a great thing to try for sure. I hope the whole mess of it makes sense. FINALLY, thank you to the mods for their infinite patience, you were way too kind to me for this.

[hdtropes]

REUNIONS! for TIGERSILVER!

Title: The Boy Who Lived Next Door

Author: @coriesocks

Recipient: @stripedsilverfeline

Pairing(s): Harry/Draco background/implied Blaise/Neville, Ron/Hermione

Rating: E

Word Count: ~37.7k

Warnings: mention of past break up.

Content/Enticements: Art Dealer Draco Malfoy, Shopkeeper Harry Potter, tiny dog, Diagon Alley, Reunions, enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers, misunderstandings, realisation of feelings, refusal of feelings, sentient portrait, Draco being a sassy knobhead, Harry being super fit, shirts with no sleeves, art, music, bacon sandwiches, kissing, coffee, apple turnovers, anal sex, happy ending, past break up

Summary: The last time Draco Malfoy saw Harry Potter he was bent over a desk in an empty classroom, begging for more. Right before he walked out of his life for good. Which is fine. It’s been fifteen years and Draco is obviously over him, thank you very much. He has a nice life and a successful art gallery and no space for noisy neighbours (having sex) or tiny dogs (slobbering) or Harry’s unreasonably muscular arms (wow, where did they come from). If only Harry would just, like, leave him alone… or something.

Author’s Notes: Tigersilver, I couldn’t have asked for a better recipient because as I read your sign up, it was like reading a list of my own likes and dislikes. I really hope you enjoy what I’ve done with this trope and I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Thank you so much to my small army of alphas and betas - you know who you are. I honestly would have been completely screwed without your help and encouragement and smut guidance and I love you all SO MUCH. And mods, thanks for hosting this fest! It’s been a blast.

BONDING! for GRACERENE!

Title: Celestial Bodies

Author: @shiftylinguini

Recipient: @gracerene09

Pairing(s): Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy

Rating: Explicit

Word Count: ~20k

Warnings: No archive warnings apply

Content/Enticements: EWE, post-Hogwarts, auror partners, friends to lovers, getting together, bonding, accidental bonding, forced proximity, first time, masturbation, blow jobs, anal fingering, magical sensory connections

Summary:

“An astrological anomaly induced bond,” Harry repeats, deadpan, as the Head Healer of the Magical Malfunctions ward finishes announcing his prognosis.

“Space magic,” says Draco, tapping long fingers irritably against the arm of his chair. “You’re saying we’ve been zapped by space magic.”

The Healer huffs. “That’s rather simplifying things, gentlemen.”

Author’s Notes: Gracerene, I was so thrilled to create something for you. You are one of my favourite people in fandom, and you give so much ― it was a joy to be able to give you a little something back. This fic is based on an amalgamation of the things you said you liked in your sign up (and…quite a few of the sex things LOL. We have a lot of likes in common!) and I hope this ticks some of your boxes!

Big thank you to my alpha/beta and brainstorming pals; your help and hand holding (and kicking me up the bum when necessary LOL) was invaluable, and I think I owe you a fruit basket.

Lastly, an enormous, enormous thank you to the mods, Nox and Nerd, for being so accommodating and supportive of my wibbles and requests for a bit of extra time ― I appreciate it so much!!

BETS AND WAGERS!TROPE for SAULAIE!

Title: Re: Harry’s Crush 

Author: @lettersbyelise

Word count: ~3.7k

Tags: Bets and Wagers, Epistolary, Ministry of Magic, Auror Harry Potter, Head of Forensics Draco Malfoy, Harry and Draco are friends, First kiss, Friends to lovers, Harry and Draco’s friends scheming to get them together

Summary: Ever get that feeling you’re being talked about behind your back? Harry doesn’t, he’s too busy being stupidly, obviously besotted with the guy in the lab downstairs. A fic where the interdepartment betting war at the Ministry gets out of hand, Millicent and Hermione get scheming, Harry Potter ends up wearing black eyeliner, and everybody ends up getting more than they bargained for.

Author notes: Dear Saulaie, I was so happy to get you as a giftee. You’re one of the artists I’ve admired ever since I joined the fandom, and I absolutely ADORE your art. I tried to include as many of your likes as I could in your gift - thank you for your awesome prompts, the “Bets & Wagers” trope was so much fun to write!

A huge thank you to my alphas/betas/fic doulas/fandom significant others. You are all very clever, funny, sexy humans. 

Finally, thank you to the mods for organising this fest!!

Author’s Notes: An enormous thanks to my beta, R! This fic is stronger because of your great attention to detail. Ranaraeuchle, it was a pleasure to write for you! I tried to include many of your likes!

FRIENDS TO LOVERS!TROPE for ELLEGRAY!

Title: I feel as though I was deceived

Author: ???

Recipient: @diligent-thunder 

Pairings: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley/Hermione Granger 

Rating: Explicit 

Word count: ~13.9k

Warnings: Blowjob, Anal sex, Anal fingering, Slight angst, Wanking, Content/Enticements: Friends to Lovers, Epilogue what epilogue, Auror Harry(mentioned), Cups of Tea, Drinking, Renovated Grimmauld Place, Dinner Parties, Blaise is a flirt, Happy Ending, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Teddy Lupin

Summary: Harry has a terrible crush on Draco, who is one of his closest friends. Harry tries to ignore it but it’s not so easy all the time. What happens when Harry drunkenly kisses Draco on the dance floor of a muggle club and will his heart be able to take the consequences?

Author’s note: Hello! This is my second Drarry fic and my first time doing something for a fest and this has been really fun. I have never been more proud of any of my written works than I am of this one so I really hope you like it.

This is also the longest fic I’ve ever written. My trope is Friends to Lovers and I really hope my giftee enjoys this fic since I have spent so much time on it. It was really fun making something for someone else because it helped having guidelines and it makes me happy that I can make you happy with something I made myself. Also I really hope it wasn’t too soft or fluffy, I tried to not have it fluffy and too soft but I haven’t really gotten the hang of not doing that so I hope I did okay.

Thank you to my friend S who helped beta this fic and who has put up with me asking her about what to write in a specific scene and then coming up with it myself (although she did help come up with some things). She also had to deal with me always forgetting to write a word or two in some sentences and it made us both confused at times. I also want to thank the amazing mods, Nox and Nerd, for hosting this exchange fest. They have been really nice to me when I have had questions.

The title and chapter titles are lines from the song A Change of Heart by The 1975, the lines fit really well with the story but not the whole song. Btw I don’t mention the war or how they all became friends just because I didn’t want to bring it up.
