Here are some of my favorite fics from HD fangfest 2022. Listed in alphabetical order.
Glowing by @cavendishbutterfly [9k]
Harry's lived alone and vampiric in his cottage for ages, until a long-lived Draco Malfoy suddenly shows up to answer an advertisement Harry had practically forgotten he'd put in the Prophet. Cue soft blood drinking, quiet nights of reading and crocheting, and Harry thinking that maybe--just maybe--he might not be so alone anymore.
Love Bites, Or How Draco Malfoy Learned to Let Go and Celebrate His Allure by @m0srael [50k]
Recently-turned Draco Malfoy is doing his very best to be a normal, productive, contributing member of wixen society. So far, he's managed to keep his bloody little problem a secret, even from his best friends. But when the professional opportunity he's been dreaming of finally falls in his lap, he finds himself with much more than just a potential promotion. Will a profile on a new creature-exclusive dating app, a wolfy stranger who seems hellbent on liking Draco just the way he is, and a little self-confidence help Draco finally love himself and his newfound community?
what husbands are for by @softlystarstruck [52k]
To settle tensions between werewolves and vampires, Harry volunteers for a political marriage. But it turns out he's marrying Malfoy– cold, untouchable Malfoy, who he hasn't seen in ten years. Throughout contention and politics, werewolf pub nights and grudgingly shared meals, they have to make it work.
And in the midst of it all, Harry finds something he already gave up hoping for.
Witness Marks by @gryffindorhearts [15k]
No one comes to Cogg and Bell's with a working clock. After all, it’s Draco's job to repair what’s broken and put time – quite literally – back in order. When Harry Potter waltzes in a few decades after the War, red Head Auror robes flashing, Draco expected to serve as a consultant on a case. Instead, Harry offers him the broken Weasley family clock, and with it, the chance to live in the present for once.
Cogg and Bell Clockmakers’ was located on the corner of Carkitt Market and Horizont Alley, just a few steps away from the more well-trafficked Diagon Alley. Its emerald green storefront was sandwiched right between the Museum of Muggle Curiosities and Weeoanwhisker's Barber Shop. Draco’s workbench was tucked away towards the back of the shop, but he had a great view nonetheless.
Commission from @the-starryknight for @gryffindorhearts new fic Witness Marks. This was such a joy to work on, and as soon as I heard “Clockmaker!Draco” I was immediately foaming at the mouth to paint it. Congratulations on creating such an amazing fic, GH! And thank you to sweet Starry for giving me the opportunity to illustrate for it! Now everyone join me in ignoring all responsibilities to binge read this fic >:)
We hope you've had a bloody good time checking out the works posted this week! Follow the links below the cut for the things you haven't had a chance to sink your teeth into yet, or to get another taste of the ones you loved!
Fangs you!

🦇 Heart On Your Sleeve by @crazybutgood [5k | T]
Draco’s finally returned to England after fleeing to France when he was turned into a vampire. Pansy and Blaise try to drag Draco's moping ass out of Malfoy Manor, but he’s still reluctant while doing so. Until he stumbles upon Potter’s cafe.

🦇 Willing Blood by @lqtraintracks and @the-starryknight [2.1k | E]
Seven days together, years ago; seventy-four hours and thirty-eight minutes trapped in this house alone; and now one chance to stop himself from draining Potter dry. Will Draco take it? Will Harry let him?
🦇 Feral Heart by @bluesundaycake [6.3k | E]
Fifty years after the Second Wizarding War with Voldemort, Harry Potter is a different man. But worst of all — Britain's a whole different world, one where those like him are never safe. Everything is grim for Harry, until one day Draco Malfoy makes the front page of the Daily Prophet.
🦇 The Seventh Life by @corvuscrowned [18.4k| E]
If Draco had looked the other way, he may never have seen him again. But Draco turned, because he always would have turned. He found him, because he always would have found him - in life, in death, or in Paris.
OR:
Draco is an immortal vampire. Harry is trapped in eternal cycles of life, death, and reincarnation. They meet again in Paris, and the seventh life isn't any less complicated than the first.
🦇 Nights turn into days [ART] by @pato-roldnart
Vampire!Harry only wants one thing: another immortal to share the years with, to crochet warm jumpers for, to love and pamper and be pampered by, and whose blood—drunk while they hold each other close—tastes like home.
🦇 Blessed are the Lambs (Do You Walk With Gabriel?) by @cannibalschism [50k | E]
It's been eight years of this. Eight years since the tug that drew Harry like the tide pulls the earth towards the Camerlengo and Vatican City. Eight years since he'd last felt what it was to think freely and not around the wretched, awful din. Eight years since the bars of his gilded cage had slammed shut around him all while the Camerlengo spun the key on his conniving finger.
But it was today when Draco Malfoy walked into St. Peter's Basilica, looking so young as though the years had passed him by, and smelling like pennies and dead leaves.

🦇 What You've Come For by @nv-md [1.3k | E]
It doesn't matter that Draco's a bloodthirsty vampire, Harry can't stay away from him, and they come together night after night in the Astronomy Tower.

🦇 The First Taste by @maraudersaffair [7.1k | E]
After being ostracized by nearly everyone after the war, Draco says yes when Harry offers him a place to stay. Perhaps he should have looked the gift horse in the mouth, however, when he discovers Harry is not all he seems.
🦇 Like Ghosts in the Snow by Pheaphilus [10k | E]
People are going missing, and Harry's not about to start reliving the days of the war, when missing wizarding folk were ten a penny. The best part of being an Auror is hunting down evil, and rescuing those who need it. And who better to ride-or-die with than his (infuriating, beautiful, annoying) Auror Partner?
But this time? It might just be Draco and Harry who need rescuing.
Sink your teeth into the mystery of the missing Unspeakable!
🦇 Hidden Away [ART] by @celilasart [T]
Your sweet blood on my red lips,
your soft skin under my fingertips.

🦇 Sweet Like Candy in My Veins by @shah-writes [7.6k | M]
In which Harry is a magical theorist with a penchant for catching vampires for the Aurors and Draco is the vampire who’s in love with him.
a.k.a. Draco’s hot and powerful and Harry’s going through a crisis.
🦇 a love that consumes by @amorsindolor [7.8k | M]
They come together in the only way they know how to.
An exploration of monstrosity and how love consumes us.

🦇 The Vampire Family by @isamijoo [40k | E]
Draco Malfoy and his friends are vampire hunters working for the Ministry of Magic. One day, they encounter a new threat: a family of vampires who can mask their own scents using their victims' magical signatures. These vampires target wix with strong magical powers, so of course, it's only a matter of time before they start targeting Harry Potter.
🦇 First Week of Eternity by Innerlilith [7.8k | E]
Moving in with the colleague you’d like to fuck is a bad idea for anyone. It’s worse when you’re a card-carrying member of the eternal dead. It’s exponentially worse when your already garlic-obsessed colleague-slash-crush-slash-roommate has recently discovered his distant Italian heritage. In which Draco tries desperately to hide that he’s recently become a vampire, and Harry tries desperately to feed him.
🦇 Hot-Blooded by @violenttulips [34k | E]
Draco doesn't even like Potter. He's certainly not in love with him. Except maybe he does, and maybe he is. He's not about to admit to any of it, no matter how good the sex is. And, to be clear: it's exquisite. In other words: In which Draco Malfoy is a vampire, and Harry Potter is a werewolf, and their enemies-to-friends with benefits-to-? relationship has evolved into something messier. And who are these people killing creatures in the streets? Someone should probably do something about that... It's going to be Potter. It's always Potter, isn't it? Stupid git. Draco hates him.
🦇 And Outta This World by @pineau-noir [3.5k | M]
A look into the life of the residents, human and vampire, of number 12 Grimmauld Place.
🦇 [ART] Nightshade by @short666bread [M]
Draco is dragged into the dark, once again.
🦇 Di sotto in sù by @opalesqueopioid [3.4k | E]
Draco thinks it's best they stop seeing each other. Harry disagrees.
🦇 let me be your sun by @owl-of-fandom [7.8 | M]
“Tell me you love me.” “Oh, darling.” The endearment falls from Harry’s lips as if the affection was his own. As if it wasn’t planted in his mind, in his heart, by me. “I love you."
🦇 Fanged Delight by @drwhoisginnyholmes [2k | E]
Draco’s finally returned to England after fleeing to France when he was turned into a vampire. Pansy and Blaise try to drag Draco's moping ass out of Malfoy Manor, but he’s still reluctant while doing so. Until he stumbles upon Potter’s cafe.
