The Hogwarts Years: Draco's Version, by peachpety
HD Hurt/Comfort Fest 2025 || G || LEGOs & Photography
What if…the Killing Curse at Godric's Hollow destroyed Voldemort for good? What if…Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts free from the threat of a dark reckoning? What if…in First Year, he befriends a posh wizard named Draco Malfoy?
What if…?
A Drarry story of friendship, adventure and love…told in LEGOs.
Created for @hd-hurtcomfort-fest prompt #142 courtesy of anon and their edible: "LEGO-verse Drarry. That's it, that's the prompt." Thank you for believing! I was beyond thrilled at the opportunity to use my HP LEGO sets to create gay boys falling-in-love content.
Photographed in my front and back yards using an iPhone 15S and edited using Photo Editor. A big thank you to my eldest child for assisting in set ups and photography and for overall encouragement.
A quick note: I fully support transgender individuals and in no way subscribe to JKRs disgusting transphobic stance on sex and gender. Half of the sets used here I purchased in 2001, 2010 and 2011, well before JKR revealed what an unbelievable cunt she is. Three of the sets were purchased in 2020 as a quarantine activity at the height of Covid..and coincidentally and unfortunately at a time when her vitriol escalated. I haven't purchased any LEGO sets since; the two sets from 2021 were gifts from kind, unsuspecting folks supporting my love for these fictional characters.
This Lego fic is absolutely brilliant. Every scene is ‘chef’s kiss’ and filled with heartwarming details. This put a huge smile on my face and I can’t wait to experience it again and again. Highly recommend!
This fest was born from the idea that with darkness comes light, and that with hurt comes comfort. We believe that to every yin there is a yang, that every Jekyll has a Hyde. And through this fest we hope to achieve contentment with that balance.
To that end, we have curated paired postings of sweet fluff, devistating angst, and delicious hurt/comfort created by our talented fest participants. Each paired work will have a stand-alone posting, but will include a link to its contrasting creation.
Given the potentially triggering content of some fest creations, we ask that should you choose to consume content for this fest, please be mindful of tags and know your limitations.
And of course, please shower our brilliant creators with kudos, love and positivity. They've been Through It this year, y'all, and still, still they posted. Please be kind!
We've got quite a glorious SIX weeks [!!!] scheduled ahead.
Enjoy!
Your HD/HC Mods,

Draco x Ron | 15K | E
Ron/Draco Fest — Better Together 2021
Peach, this gift is for you because you’re an amazing person, my very first (and very best) fandom friend, and are always there when I need someone to bounce ideas off of. I couldn’t have completed my 2021 Wireless without you! (Seriously, Peach beta’d my fic while away on vacation!)
So here’s the thing. I love ALL of Peach’s fics. She brings a certain quality that’s unique to her, a perfect blend of whimsy, fluff and smut, and I can’t get enough. But there’s a special place in my heart for A Weasel in the Hamptons. You see, I had never read Dron before. But I knew with Peach writing it, the story would be fantastic. And lemme tell you, I credit this fic with turning me into a Dron shipper, and it has had me coming back for a reread on many occasions.
AWITH will transport you to the Hamptons, hit you with all the feels, and captivate you with the laugh-out-loud moments and off-the-charts chemistry between two perfectly imperfect individuals finding what they didn’t know they needed.
Naturally, I have been dying for art for this fic since my first read. Honestly, it was hard to pick just one scene because there are so many enticing ones. But I finally decided on the brilliant pool scene, one of my absolute favourite scenes.
I LOVE @kryptidfox Reese’s art, and just knew their style would be perfect for this fic. IT’S SOOOOOO GOOD. I love the colour scheme, the sense of movement, all the little details (the heart beauty mark!!!), and Reese’s idea to show both above and below the water is inspired.
Below are the rules and guidelines for HD Hurt/Comfort Fest 2025 participants. Please direct any questions or concerns to our ask box, or via [email protected].

Rules & Guidelines below the cut.
PROMPTING
The prompting period is April 7 - May 2.
You may submit as many prompts as you like. You do not have to create for the fest in order to post a prompt.
All prompts must be identified as one of the three accepted fest tropes: angst, fluff, or hurt/comfort combination. Any extra details are welcome. Please note, however, that these additional details are for inspiration only and creators are not obligated to adhere to them fully.
Self-prompts are allowed. There will be a space on the claiming form to add details for self prompts.
**NEW FOR 2025** This year, fest mods have implemented an ‘untagged’ option for prompts and creations. All prompts must be identified as one of the three tagging options: tagged, untagged, or ‘surprise me.’ If a prompt is submitted with the ‘untagged’ or ‘surprise me’ option, the creator is permitted to forgo the use of additional tags and specific archive warnings when posting to AO3. The work will remain untagged for the duration of the fest. Tags may be added by the creator after or during reveals.
Prompts will be available for browsing as soon as prompting opens on April 2.
CLAIMING
The claiming period is May 5 - July 1.
Due to the nature of potential content, this fest is for participants aged 18 and over. Please do not sign up if you are not 18 by the time of claiming.
Upon signing up, you agree to the Rules and Guidelines of the fest.
Only one prompt may be claimed at a time. Prompts are assigned on a first come first serve basis. As such, should you have your eye on a specific prompt but are unable to claim it once claiming opens, a proxy is allowed to claim on your behalf.
If you fulfill your prompt with enough time before submissions, you're welcome to claim an additional prompt. We only ask that you submit your first work as per submission guidelines before claiming another.
Collaborations are welcome! Please only submit one claim form per collaboration and include the details of all participants.
Writer sign-up cap is set at 60. There is no cap for art, craft, or podfic.
If you wish to create art, craft, or podfic based on an existing fanwork, please submit it as a self prompt during the claiming period.
CREATING
All creations must fit into the ‘angst’, ‘fluff’, or ‘hurt/comfort’ categories. There are many themes that fall in line for fluff and angst, but below is a short list of suggestions to help inspire. If you have any doubts or questions about your theme(s), please reach out!
Angst
Depression
Addiction (alcohol, other drugs)
Abuse (emotional, physical, sexual, etc)
Infidelity
Death
Grief
Fluff
Domesticity
Slice of life
Getting Together
Meet Cute
Found family
Friends to Lovers
The main pairing for all creations is Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter. Participants may include any side-pairings, threesomes, and/or original characters, as long as the final submission is still a Drarry-centric piece. All ratings and archive warnings are accepted.
As this is an anonymous fest, please do not discuss your creations with anyone in a public forum outside the HD/HC Fest Discord, except for your alpha/beta readers and the fest mods until the reveals have been announced in September. Come join in our Discord fun here!
Ratings suggestions and additional details included for each prompt should be considered inspiration. Feel free to incorporate or ignore them as you see fit! Should you choose to gift your creation to the promptee, however, we ask that you honor any dislikes mentioned.
Please tag your works appropriately (see below for the *new* untagged option!). Due to the nature of this fest, we want to ensure that everyone is informed of potentially triggering content. Please note, however, that all fluff entries must be HEA (Happily Ever After) and must not contain content that merits an archive warning.
If you’re unsure about tagging your work, please let the mods know, and we are happy to help. Please also note that we reserve the right to review your tags and warnings in relation to your content and may contact you to request additions and/or changes. While we can’t dictate consumption of our creations, we will strive to empower our readers/viewers with appropriate information to make an informed choice.
**NEW FOR 2025** This year, fest mods have implemented an ‘untagged’ option for prompts and creations. If your claimed prompt was specified with the ‘untagged’ or ‘surprise me’ option, the creator is permitted to forgo the use of additional tags and specific archive warnings when posting to AO3. The work will remain untagged for the duration of the fest. Tags may be added by the creator after or during reveals.
Author and Artist Guidelines
We will not accept works created with AI.
For fics, the minimum word count is 1000. We have elected to implement a cap on fics of 60k.
All fics must be proofread and follow generally accepted SPaG guidelines. If you are unable to find a beta to assist, please reach out to the mods, and we can provide further guidance.
All fics are posted anonymously, however for art we allow artists to include watermarks on their creations if they so wish.
Podfic Guidelines
Podfics are most certainly welcome, as long as they fit into the 'angst', 'fluff', or 'hurt/comfort' categories! If you intend to podfic a work that you did not originally create, please make sure you get permission from the original author to record it.
For podfics, the minimum word count of the recorded story is 1000, maximum 60k.
All podfics must be proofed. If you are unable to find a beta to assist, please reach out to the mods and we can provide further guidance.
Podfics will be posted anonymously, but podficcers are allowed to state their name in the podfic recording itself (not within their notes on the post).
Drop Outs/Extensions
Throughout the creation period, we'll send a couple of check-in emails—one month and one week before submissions are due. You're welcome to ask for an extension at that time. You're also welcome to contact the mods outside of the check-in period via email or Discord at any point to request one.
We know life likes to surprise us with the unexpected, so please know that if you need to drop out for any reason, that's ok! Just please let us know as early as possible.
SUBMITTING
Once you have completed your work, it’s time to submit!
Submissions are due August 4. If you finish before this date, you are welcome to submit early.
All works must be posted directly [LINK TO POST] to the fest AO3 collection. HD Hurt Comfort Fest 2025. Podfics should be linked to the original work using the AO3 ‘Inspired By’ function, i.e: “This work is a remix, a translation, a podfic, or was inspired by another work” and pasting the URL of the original fic. Please contact the mods if you have any issues submitting your work.
Submissions must be complete works created for this fest. Please do not submit incomplete works or works that are a part of a series or a prequel/sequel to an existing work.
Due to the nature of content present in angsty creations in particular, we want to emphasize the importance of tagging. Please take care to tag for potentially triggering themes present in your work (see below for the *new* untagged option!). If you have questions or need clarification on anything, please reach out to the mods, and we'll be happy to help!
Mods will also read through entries prior to posting to help ensure proper tagging. Should we believe any changes are necessary, we will reach out to you and ask you to make those.
**NEW FOR 2025** This year, fest mods have implemented an ‘untagged’ option for prompts and creations. If your creation is ‘untagged’, you are permitted to forgo the use of additional tags and specific archive warnings when posting to AO3. We will suggest the use of a fest tag for these works: HDHC2025Untagged. The work will remain untagged for the duration of the fest. Tags may be added by the creator after or during reveals.

POSTING
Entries will be posted starting September 1.
In an effort to provide comfort to the hurt, a balm to soothe the pain, we will strive to post creations as pairs—one angst and one fluff per day. Each paired creation will have a stand-alone posting, but will include a link to its contrasting creation.
Of course, it's difficult to ensure we've got exactly equal numbers of angst and fluff pieces, and we don't want to limit creators, so we recognize things will in all likelihood be a little unbalanced.
This is ok though! As mods, we'll do our best to arrange the posting schedule to ensure an even distribution of excellent content.
Additionally, while we will not release a public posting schedule, we will inform participants prior to their anticipated post date.
Once your creation has been posted please be mindful not to reveal yourself as the creator through the duration of anon postings. After the mod reveals posting in September, you are free to claim your creation in personal posts to your heart’s content. Tag us @hd-hurtcomfort-fest in your posts on tumblr and we will reblog from the HD/HC Fest account!
While we hope that it will not happen, sometimes creations receive negative comments. If you receive a nasty or critical comment, please contact the mods asap. We are happy to work with you to address the situation, and will only step in to deal with it if that is your wish.
GENERAL/FAQ
Is this an 18+ fest?
Yes, this fest is only open to creators over the age of 18 by the time of claiming (May 5 - July 1).
Untagged? How does that work?
If a prompt is submitted with the 'untagged' option, the creator is permitted to forgo the use of additional tags and specific archive warnings when posting to AO3. The work will remain Untagged for the duration of the fest. Tags may be added by the creator after or during reveals.
I want to submit a MCD prompt, is that allowed?
Yes! Major Character Death certainly counts as angsty content. Our list of suggested themes is only a small handful of ideas. So feel free to submit away! Also, be sure to select the ‘angst’ option when you submit your prompt.
I don’t want any hurt, only fluffy happy endings. Can my prompt be fluff only?
Yes! Just be sure to select the ‘fluff’ option when you submit your prompt.
I love content that features both angst and fluff. Can my prompt be a combination of both?
Of course! Just be sure to select the ‘hurt/comfort’ option when you submit your prompt.
Does my angst fic/art have to have comfort?
No! You can write/create 100% angst, such as MCD, or pain & anguish without a happy ending if that's where your muse leads you.
What if I want to write hurt & comfort?
Go for it!
I want to write/draw/create only cute & fluffy content, is that allowed?
YES! We encourage creations of 100% fluff in this fest! Bring on all the meet cutes & sweet happy endings.
What if I don't want my entry to post with a corresponding [fluff||angst] piece?
The entire premise of this fest is that angst and fluff pieces will get posted together. Although there will inevitably be an excess of one type of entry, resulting in slight augmentations to posting, there's no way we can make a fair commitment to post specific entries without a corresponding creation on the opposite side of the spectrum. We are happy to discuss your hesitation with you, but if you still have reservations, this particular fest might not be for you, and that's ok!
this was a prompt suggested by one of my lovely patrons! because why in the heck would harry, a 90′s kid who went to public school, use a quill and ink?
go become a patron so you can suggest silly prompts for me to draw too!
Ron was doing Draco a favour by agreeing to investigate him. Better Ron than someone who’d plant something horrific to get Draco sent to Azkaban—or some pervy Potter fanatic who’d spend the whole hour sniffing the dirty clothes on Harry’s bedroom floor. Even though Ron had to take Polyjuice and break into their flat to do it, Harry and Draco would understand. They’d appreciate it.
And if Ron had done more “investigating” and less “snogging his best friend while Polyjuiced as said best friend’s secret boyfriend”, maybe it would have all been fine.
Harry&Draco in Game of Thrones. But without bad ending ahaha. You know…
White haired dragon boy with a big family name and insufferably noble hero with no parents who died and rise again. So I thought that these roles would suit Harry and Draco.
HD Hurt/Comfort is an 18+ anonymous prompt-based fest that welcomes creations from both the angsty and fluffy ends of the trope spectrum.
This fest was born from the idea that with darkness comes light, and that with hurt comes comfort. We believe that to every yin there is a yang, that every Jekyll has a Hyde. And through this fest we hope to achieve contentment with that balance. To that end, we will encourage and accept the following submissions:
100% angst
100% fluff
A hurt/comfort combination
The main pairing for all submissions is Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter. Participants may include any side-pairings, threesomes and/or original characters, as long as the final submission is still a Drarry-centric piece.
Follow us for fest information! Rules and detailed guidelines coming soon!

Challenge: Draco/Snape, corsets, must include music.
A Spoonful of Snowflakes

Slytherins Don't Do Valentine's Day
by fangqueen (@fangqueen). Blaise/Draco/Theodore. Rated: E. Words: 504.
At least, that was Draco Malfoy’s opinion. His...boyfriends of the past few months were of an entirely different one, it seemed. Which is why, when the dreaded day of hearts, disgustingly cute courtship, and…pink came along, the young man found himself standing just inside the Room of Requirement, jaw agape, the two fools themselves smirking like they’d done something especially clever.
A Slytherin Valentine's Day Love Story
by floweringjudas. Lucius/Severus. Rated: E. Words: 10,133.
"All right, if you're so certain, a wager."
Lucius sat up a bit, giving Mulciber a smirk. "Terms?"
"Fuck Severus Snape by St. Valentine's Day, and I'll give you my broom. Fail, and I take your place accompanying Narcissa Black to Hogsmeade for the rest of the year."
Roses May be Red, but Violets Are Actually Purple
by GMTH. Lucius/Severus. Rated: E. Words: 3,362. Infidelity. Rough sex. Crossdressing. Corsetry.
This was definitely not what Severus had been expecting when Lucius requested his help finding the perfect Valentine's Day gift for Narcissa.
Mating Habits
by Mad_Maudlin. Harry/Ron. Rated: M. Words: 1,162.
Ron and Harry are mates.
How to Ask the Question

Draco has wanted Severus since he can remember. On Valentine's Day of his eighth year, he finally works up the courage to ask for what he wants. Or does he?
Mutual Pain, Mutual Pleasure
by _Melodic_. James Sirius/Teddy. Draco/James Sirius. Draco/Teddy. Rated: E. Words: 981. Threesome. Infidelity. POV Alternating. Morally Ambiguous Character. Angst & Smut.
James and Teddy both need something they can't get from the other. Draco is only too glad to step in and assist.
J'adore
by MysticKitten42 (@mystickitten42). Albus Severus/Draco. Rated: T. Words: 200.
A love declaration in gemstones.
~Or~ The one where Draco has difficulty resisting his attractive potions assistant.
You're the Only One for Me
by MysticKitten42 (@mystickitten42). Draco/Harry. Rated: M. Words: 1,789. MCD. Unhappy ending. Heartbreak. Grief/mourning. Regret.

Harry almost walks into a wall of flowers on his way into the florist.
Sweethearts
by wynnebat (@wynnefic). Rated: T. Words: 791.
Harry embarks on a quest to find out if Tom plans to gift him chocolates on Valentine's Day. It's a very short and delicious quest.
Is there any chance for cluefest 2024? My favorite fest!
Dear anon,
We're happy to announce that Cluefest will be back in 2024. As in previous years, prompting will happen in the second half of 2024, probably in autumn again.
Upon reflecting this past year, I’m reminded of one area as a fandom citizen that i am lacking - reading fic. And so was born an idea to canvas my fandom family and friends to share with me a fic they've written, art they've created, a podfic they've recorded in 2023 of which they are most proud.
This two part 'rec yourself' list is the result.
Part One features Drarry creations (heavily featured since that's my OTP). Part Two (here) includes a kick-ass mix of various HP ships and ships from other fandoms, including Carry On, Check Please!, Good Omens, Teen Wolf, and Stranger Things. Also, and most importantly, each entry presents a smol blurb from the creator about why they chose their particular piece as their 2023 favorite.
For ease in reading, I've also placed all submitted works posted to AO3 into a filterable bookmark collection, Rec Yourself 2023. Be aware that there's a range of ratings and archive/creator tags, so please, take appropriate responsibility for your personal consumption. And please also be sure to shower the creators with kudos and lovely comments.
Y'all. This endeavor has been a fucking blast. One thing's for sure, I am blessed, humbled and honored to know a whole bunch of fantastic, brilliant, fun folks. Big love to you all, and thank you for participating.
So go forth. Indulge and enjoy! xo peach

I'm quite proud of this one, I don't know how I made it, I had never drawn them before! My mind went full "oh yeah ronvik " Also, I like the idea of them bonding over their pets and Ron seeing that Viktor cares about something else that is not Quidditch.

Coffee and a Croissant
HP Next Gen | Scorpius x Albus | 903 FIC | G rating
There are parts of myself and my lived experience in every story and character I write—how I socialize, how I take my coffee… I can’t help it. In *Coffee and a Croissant*, I put a lot of myself in my ace and autistic Albus. He is very dear to me in this story, and in my Fizzy Lifting Drinks drabble. The fic is just a toe-dip in the Soulmate waters where Albus grapples with what to do if he is someone’s Soulmate, but they’re not his. Parts 2 and 3 are in the works, but there is no timeline on either of them. Maybe in 2024?

I Bloom Pink For You
HP | Narcissa Malfoy x Pansy Parkinson | 993 FIC + ORIGAMI COMIC | M rating | HP Bodice Ripper Fest 2023
This whole idea came about because I got so excited to fold a corset for hp bodice ripper fest, realised I couldn't just submit that one thing, and started brainstorming more loose ideas. It all clicked together when I was inspired by a fic by @schmem14, whose writing I adore. I was so grateful and even more excited when Em gave permission to make this. From there started the self-indulgent process of folding fancy things with fancier papers for this origami comic, and I couldn't have done it without Em and my lovely support team.

Something Cosmic
HP | Cedric x Draco x Harry | 1.7k FIC | M rating | Polyship Week 2022
A self-rec that I am still extremely proud of is a short fic written for Polyshipping Week 2022 called Something Cosmic. It's a small coda to Something Good to Always Keep, another fic that I wrote for Quidditch Fest 2021 that I cherish very much. Even though writing is still hard for me these days, I often think about this 'verse and what life is like for Harry, Draco and Cedric after they graduated from Oxford. These three and slice of life bring me such joy. I hope to write more of them.

(They) Keep Me Warm
HP | Hermione x Harry x Ron | 5.8k FIC | E rating | HP Trans Fest 2023
This was my transfest fic - I wrote it as a love letter to all my trans and Enby friends and as a way of processing some of my own feelings. It’s my first (and so far only) foray into poly golden trio and I loved playing with their dynamics with that added layer to their relationship.

HP | Harry x Severus | 7.1k FIC | E rating | Snarry AUctoberfest 2023
Although this is a smut fic at its core, I tried really hard to make the pacing flow, bringing in background characters, and creating memorable imagery. I am very proud of how it turned out. However, this is probably my favorite fic from 2023 simply for the fact that I had the most fun writing it!

Teen Wolf | Derek Hale x Stiles Stilinski | 8.4k TEXTING FIC | E rating | 2023 Year of the OTP
This is my fav 2023 piece because I learned how to create a custom text message AO3 skin, stylize things for plain text reading, and I wrote a whole story that had some plot that was told through text messages. Also, I did not know I could achieve so much spiciness and throw in so many bad pick-up lines through this medium, but hey, the more you know! XD

I've been thinking about this for a couple of days and whilst I would really love to say it was the drarry I wrote for this fest last year my favourite would have to be this moonseeker I wrote for Remus Lupin Fest last year. It's my favourite because I lived this fic. It became the entirety of my personality for a whole month because I desperately needed to get to the chapter where Regulus was riding on Padfoots back, through the forbidden forest, with only the light of the full moon to guide them, just to try and help Remus. It's also just because it's very musical and I'm very musical so that makes me love it all the more.

I posted a Regulus/Harry/Draco fic last month that I'm very fond of. I started writing it more than 1 1/2 years ago, before I ever read a single Regulus fic. It's triad fic, and I'm pretty proud of the way the individual relationships develop. That was important to me, and I think I succeeded. Posting the first fic on ao3 with this triad tag doesn't hurt either.

Teen Wolf | Derek Hale x Stiles Stilinski | 25k FIC + ART | T rating | Sterek Reverse Bang
This work was created for sterek reverse bang, a collaboration fest where the artists create first and the writers write second. wolfspurr and I just clicked when we talked about my art and the things that it inspired in their writer brain ;D the result is just an amazingly sweet and wholesome fic, that is still set in the teenwolf universe as we know it. but unlike many other fics which are full of violence and danger, this one starts with a bang and then it is a beautifully woven story of two people who just complete each other. also... the working title for my art was: tiny fox & sour wolf.

I picked [this fic] because I had a lot of fun writing it! It started off as a drabble and ended up 26k because I just had a blast writing it and the fandom support was so lovely. Last but not least, Pato made an absolutely stunning art piece for this fic, and it was the best present ever.

bragging about yourself is difficult, but i’ll just say it’s my favorite because i’m proud of myself for sticking to one project for this long, i love all the artwork the fic has inspired, and i just think the line “the river styx must taste like pennies” fucks severely lmao.

i am not usually a long fic gal, which i think is in part lack of patience, but also how attached i get to a universe if i’m working on it for a longer period of time. i finished writing this back in june but this fic felt very “me” in many ways and i think about them so often still so it’s definitely my 2023 creation i’m proudest of!
