Bryoneybrynn writes such beautiful, emotional stories. He Was He and I Was Bunny will always be among my favourites. Here are a few recs, listed in alphabetical order.
Baby, It’s Cold Outside by bryoneybrynn [3k]
It’s a cold Christmas Eve, but Harry has a way of melting all Draco’s defences.
Bare Feet, Giant Squid, and One Perfect Moment by bryoneybrynn [4k]
Gryffindor may be the House of the brave but Harry’s feeling a bit nervous. It’s one thing to face a dragon or a Dark Lord. It’s quite another to make a move on the bloke who’s been your nemesis for the last eight years...
A Fruit Tree in Winter by bryoneybrynn [29k]
After failing in his task of killing Dumbledore, life doesn’t go as Draco expected. Sometimes just surviving takes everything you’ve got. And sometimes healing is something you can’t do alone. Story goes AU/AR from the end of Half-Blood Prince.
He Was He and I Was Bunny by bryoneybrynn [37k]
The war is over and “eighth year” is about to begin at Hogwarts. But for Harry and Draco, nothing is quite the same. Harry’s looking for an escape, Draco’s looking for a friend. Does a little black bunny hold the answers for both of our boys?
Holly and Hawthorn, Thistle and Thyme by bryoneybrynn [31k]
After the war, Harry can’t shake the feeling that something is very wrong with him and he has a terrible feeling he knows what that “something” might be. He has a terrible feeling Malfoy might know, too.
In Which Harry is Magnetic North and Draco Is An Idiot by bryoneybrynn [13k]
For as long as he can remember, Draco’s been bringing fake dates to his family’s annual Yuletide celebration in order to evade his mother’s matchmaking. This year, Potter’s posing as his pretend boyfriend. But as the party gets underway, it gets unclear who’s playing who, who’s pretending what, who’s not pretending at all, and what the game really is. Confused? Yeah, so is Draco…
Said and Unsaid (or, The Value of Knowing When to Stop Talking) by bryoneybrynn [14k]
When the Interrogator asked if he had anything to say on his own behalf, Draco shook his head, his lips pressed tight in a thin line. There was nothing to say that wouldn’t sound like an excuse.
So Hard a Master by bryoneybrynn [24k] *locked on AO3
When it comes to love, not all dreams can come true. But how do you know which dreams to let go of and which ones to hold on to as tight as you can? (warning: Epilogue ambiguous).
Summer Boys by bryoneybrynn [32k]
Scorpius has come to visit his best friend, Lily Potter, at her family's summer home. When he goes in search of a drink of water in the middle of the night, everything changes.
James/Albus (unrequited) - Albus/Scorpius
Bids Me Waver by bryoneybrynn [14k]
And maybe, maybe, all of that was the reason that, when James stumbled upon Al and Scorpius kissing in a stairwell on quiet Tuesday afternoon, he watched, frozen, instead of turning around and leaving. What it didn’t explain, though, was why, weeks later, he couldn’t get the image of that kiss out of his head...
I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!
