New fic: (Un)wanted (Drarry, E, 36k)
Title: (Un)wanted Rating: E Pairing: Draco/Harry Word count: 36k Content: post-war, EWE, getting together, friend love, found family, abortion, unintentional pregnancy, teenage pregnancy, non-explicit Harry/Ginny, orphan angst, panic attacks, nightmares, magic uni, minor Hermione/Ron, Harry & Hermione friendship, Duck Hunt, Nintendo, MTV, Backstreet Boys, 1998, seriously a lot of 90s, canon depiction of Ron, Tubthumping, dubious consent due to drunkenness, passing mention of hypothetical future infertility, baby Teddy, SegaWorld, Draco Malfoy in the Muggle world, interdimensional post, a Tommy Hilfiger jumper, a disco-related haunting, wallowing to Radiohead, practical and impractical cooking, clubbing Summary: Ginny's pregnant, then she's not and Harry's single. Harry, again with no family, doesn't know what to do with this turn of events, or how to find a new life—post-war, post-Ginny, post-abortion—in which he belongs. He doesn't expect that life to include dancing to the Backstreet Boys with Hermione and Draco Malfoy. A story of finding belonging in the unexpected.
For everyone who has ever struggled to belong and to feel wanted. <3 I wrote this fic because I couldn't stop thinking about Harry and Ginny getting pregnant by accident after the war, and how hard an abortion would be for Harry to deal with. And to truly dive into everything 1998. Huge thanks to G for listening to my rambling, E for britpick, and S for beta.
