Harry Potter is the best Seeker in the Intergalactic M-Quid League. He's also bored, lonely, and spending his nights on the SYNK tipping small streamers anonymously just to feel a bit better about himself. One night he finds a streamer with zero viewers by the name of "Dragon", who seems to be curiously inept at technology for this day and age.
Dragon doesn't know who Harry Potter is. Harry would like to keep it that way.

📻 Don't Stop Me Now [Teen, 27,458, Digital Art]
✏️🖋️ Artist and Author: @lynseven
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Starlight Brigade' by TWRP (feat. Dan Avidan)
🎵 Summary: Harry Potter is the best Seeker in the Intergalactic M-Quid League. He's also bored, lonely, and spending his nights on the SYNK tipping small streamers anonymously just to feel a bit better about himself. One night he finds a streamer with zero viewers by the name of "Dragon", who seems to be curiously inept at technology for this day and age. Dragon doesn't know who Harry Potter is.

🎵 Song Prompt: “Baby It’s Cold Outside” by Frank Sinatra and Dorothy Kirsten

🎶 H/D Wireless Fic 🎶
📻 sweet like marabou [E, 35,776]
🖋️ Author: @happyholigayss
🎵 Song Prompt: 'One Of Your Girls' by Troye Sivan
🎵 Summary: Harry is a bit in love with his coworker and best friend, recently turned vampire Draco Malfoy. Unfortunately for him, so is everyone else.
📻 Here Is a Song From the Wrong Side of Town [M, 17,417]
🖋️ Author: Justlikewriting
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Home' by Depeche Mode
🎵 Summary: It wasn't exactly surprising that it would be Potter who found Draco in a Ministry holding cell. But what very much was surprising, however, was that Potter somehow kept finding him: at first just joining Draco’s dance lessons, then slowly inserting himself in other parts of Draco’s life as well. Which was fine, of course: Draco would be able to deal with it. Besides, Potter was obviously primarily doing himself a huge favour, because Merlin only knew how much he needed those dance classes.
📻 Love me now (or never) [Teen, 1,010]
🖋️ Author: @otpcutie
🎵 Song Prompt: Now Or Never by Halsey
🎵 Summary: Harry ends his FWB relationship with Draco. But will Draco prove they can have more?
📻 Dracoula [E, 8,687]
🖋️ Author: @incognitoburritto
🎵 Song Prompt: Dracula by Tame Impala
🎵 Summary: Being turned into a vampire hadn't been that bad at first. The blood lust was manageable, if annoying. The sun sensitivity was barely worse than before. And the aesthetic? Sublime. When Draco returns to work and discovers that Harry Potter smells like everything he has ever wanted, his carefully maintained composure lasts approximately four minutes. The vampire living inside him has opinions about this that Draco is finding increasingly difficult to argue with. A mate bond. An ill-timed raid. A decision made in seconds that will last a lifetime, or more. In the end, it's you and me. A mate bond. An ill-timed raid. A decision made in seconds that will last a lifetime, or more. In the end, it's you and me.
📻 what you live in [Mature, 61,858]
🖋️ Author: @llealam
🎵 Song Prompt: de selby (part two) by hozier
🎵 Summary: Harry has dedicated his life to being an auror, throwing his all at his job regardless of the consequences. His new case is no different – another corrupt employee that he will do everything to stop – yet this time, he needs a little extra help. He ends up with way more than he bargained for. Draco spends more time around death than he does life. He hadn’t thought that would ever change, but when Harry Potter asks for a second opinion on something his coworker did, he cannot resist getting involved in the case. Nothing will go wrong as long as the consequences of his own actions don’t catch up to him.
📻 It Must Be Something That You Said [E, 13,596]
🖋️ Author: @saxamophone / eight_of_wands
🎵 Song Prompt: 'I wanna fuck you till I'm dead' by YACHT
🎵 Summary: Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter are friends. They do almost everything together and that's totally not weird. They're not codependent or anything. They're normal, platonic friends. Only, are they? Or, Draco Malfoy picks the exact worst moment to realise he's in love with Harry Potter. (It's when Draco is literally inside him).
📻 Selfish And Obscene [E, 25,397]
🖋️ Author: @unsightlypearl
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Genghis Khan' by Miike Snow
🎵 Summary: Malfoy and Hermione are locked in an unrelenting workplace rivalry. Harry is really fucking fed up with hearing about it. For entirely normal reasons. Reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Malfoy seems to have found himself a new nemesis, and Harry isn't sure how he feels about being replaced.
📻 Running the Red Lights [E, 8,771]
🖋️ Author: @poopsiekitten
🎵 Song Prompt: 'One Thing' by Lola Young
🎵 Summary: “You’re holding up the line.” Draco rips the receipt with a flourish and hands it (a little too theatrically) to Harry. “So, if you’re done with the request pertaining to my position in this establishment, I should ask you to step to the end of the counter until your order is ready.” Still a wanker, then. “Mm. Then I’ll also have a cappuccino.” Someone groans behind him, then whispers something unintelligible. The door pings again. Draco looks like he’s going to take off his little white hat and throw it to the ground. In that moment, Harry has a very vivid image (call it a premonition) of how Draco Malfoy would go all pliant and stay exactly how Harry puts him while Harry’s giving him the pounding of his life. Harry grins. OR: Harry bumps into Draco a few years after the war. Featuring: himbo Harry’s shameless flirting, and Draco Malfoy in a little white baker hat.
📻 NO FRENCH IN THE SHOP [Teen, 4,396]
🖋️ Author: @izroan-ff
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Good Luck, Babe!' by Chappell Roan

📻 Talk Too Much [E, 14,500]
🖋️ Author: @orolin-writes
🎵 Song Prompt: ‘Talk Too Much’ by Coin
🎵 Summary: Draco has worked very hard to maintain a cool and collected exterior around Harry. He keeps to himself, stays quiet, and makes certain Harry never learns about the massive crush he’s been harbouring. Unfortunately, a verbal compulsion curse has other ideas. Now Draco is forced to voice every one of his thoughts out loud—and some of those thoughts are very Harry Potter-shaped.
📻 Find Our Way Back in the End [E, 78,729]
🖋️ Author: @cherriontop
🎵 Song Prompt: 'About You' by the 1975
🎵 Summary: Ten years after the end of the war, Draco has completely and totally moved on from his short lived thing with Harry Potter. But as Potter agrees to be the next Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, Draco realizes that he might not be as over Potter as he had thought. If only the school year didn't also bring planning a ball in just a few months, attempts to befriend the other new professors, and dangerous incidents that may or may not be accidental, Draco would have the opportunity to resolve these feelings for Potter.
📻 once more, for old time's sake [E, 16,177 ]
🖋️ Author: sectumsempra (ryyss)
🎵 Song Prompt: daddy issues by the neighborhood
🎵 Summary: "Why do you want to speak for Malfoy so badly?" Ginny had once asked, her chin propped on her hand and her head tilted slightly. Her red hair fell in long strands, framing her face. Harry reached out to tuck it behind her ear. "I feel like I can," Harry answered. It was a lame answer even to himself. She understood, though, as she always did.
harry potter gets into a friends with benefits situation with draco malfoy, and everything falls apart one way or another. or: what do you do when the life you've lived isn't the one you really want? (well, certainly not whatever harry is doing.)
📻 Not A Love Affair [E, 11,000]
🖋️ Author: @lettersbyelise
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Buckle' by Florence + The Machine
🎵 Summary: It wasn’t supposed to last, and yet it had lasted for five years. All that time, Harry had chased the high of Draco Malfoy like a drug, each hit leaving his heart scraped raw, clamouring for their next encounter. But Draco had made it abundantly clear it wasn’t a love affair. If only it was that easy to stop.
📻 Can't Be Bought [E, 40,256]
🖋️ Author: @coppercatbird
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Milkshake' by Kelis
🎵 Summary: After six years in France, Draco Malfoy is back, and all of Harry's friends are getting along with him. However, Harry is onto his suspicious behaviour (which includes having long legs, incredible hair, and a stunning smile). His newest crime: making the most incredible chocolates Harry has ever tasted. Harry’s friends might say he's insane (Ron), obsessive (Hermione), or pathetic (Pansy), but Harry knows Draco’s up to something, and he’s going to figure out what. Harry has a plan. There’s only one problem: he has to befriend Draco Malfoy.
📻 Jealous [Teen, 16,405]
🖋️ Author: @jungeatheart
🎵 Song Prompt: "Jealous" by Labrinth.
🎵 Summary: Harry wants to like Draco’s new boyfriend. He’s nice, polite, and by all accounts perfect for Draco. Unfortunately, Harry would also quite like to launch him into the sun. Or, Harry turns to the internet for advice and gets a lot more than he bargained for.
📻 Salt [E, 91,475]
🖋️ Author: @fluffyunderneath
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Salt' by Ben Camden
🎵 Summary: When a lead drops on Draco's desk revealing the whereabouts of one Harry James Potter – missing from public life for over fourteen years – he knows it's exactly the career-saving scoop he's been looking for. As for why the saviour of Wizarding Britain has holed himself up on a tiny island in the Outer Hebrides, Draco has no idea. But he's going to find out. Or Draco falls in love in Scotland.
📻 Isle of Wank [E, 21,084]
🖋️ Author: @themiddleofwonderland / amazuppai
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Wet Dream' by Wet Leg
🎵 Summary: It's summer vacation. Harry drags Draco to the beach, Ron cooks delicious food, Hermione can't stop thinking about work, Luna's enjoying the fauna and flora, and Zacharias is… there. Everything is set up for a perfectly enjoyable trip, if only Draco would stop waking up with hard-ons from his trippy dreams

🎵 Song Prompt: 'The Only Thing' by Sufjan Stevens
🎵 Summary: In the aftermath of the Second Wizarding War, Draco Malfoy's life went from bad to worse. Six years later, he finds himself alone and with little reason to carry on.

📻 To You, My World [E, 33,311]
🖋️ Author: @angeldog5 / angeldogdives
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Realms' by Sarah Kinsley
🎵 Summary: Another world, like what? Someplace far away, Harry thinks, where none of it ever happened? He and Malfoy were simple childhood rivals, or maybe even friends, flying brooms through a clear blue sky, and clouds singing with sunlight. Another world. . Harry’s running: away from the grief, from expectation, from Ron’s rage and Hermione’s helpfulness and Malfoy’s stupid dead dragon egg. If he runs far enough, fast enough, long enough, surely he’ll find where he's meant to be.
📻 There will be no tenderness [E, 7,844]
🖋️ Author: telltale_signs
🎵 Song Prompt: Hatef--k by The Bravery

🖋️ Author: @a--clockwork--lemon
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Merry Christmas, Please Don't Call' by Bleachers
🎵 Summary: How had he not noticed the Auror boots? Or the belt? How had he not recognised the dark curls? For Merlin’s sake, the wounds were comparable to those he had seen on Hit Wizards. Draco glanced at the man’s face. He didn’t know whether he wanted to laugh or cry. How had he missed the fucking scar?
📻 Ruin the Friendship [E, 30,603]
🖋️ Author: @sassy-cissa
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Ruin the Friendship" by Taylor Swift
🎵 Summary: Harry and Draco became friends during their Eighth Year at Hogwarts. Draco is clever, funny, and actually quite a good listener when he likes you. Harry feels so incredibly lucky to have a friend like him in his life. Trouble is, he’s also been dying to kiss Draco ever since Eighth Year. A couple of problems, he's pretty sure Draco only wants to be friends. And the biggest one…he has no idea where to find Draco now that school is over.

📻 Werewolves of London [E, 72,000]
🖋️ Author: @upon-poppyhills
🎵 Song Prompt: Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon
🎵 Summary: Bitten at sixteen and bonded to Potter at nineteen as a last-ditch effort by the Order to save the Saviour from himself, Draco had come to terms with the cold reality of their arrangement. Potter needed a mate and Draco needed his mother free from Azkaban. Neither of them needed anything else. Not affection, or friendship, or love, no matter how tempting. And for many years, it works. Draco lives in England. Potter does not. But at twenty-nine, Draco becomes London’s newest Alpha and long overdue decisions need to be made. He’s not too worried, though. Getting Potter to agree to dissolving a bond he never wanted shouldn’t be too hard. Should it?

🎤 Podficcer: @cailynwrites
🎵 Song Prompt: 'A Little Bit of Everything' by Dawes

📻 [Podfic] Ankles [E, 3h 51m]
🎤 Artist/Author: @sweatersinthesummer
🎵 Song Prompt: Ankles by Lucy Dacus
🎵 Summary: Of course Harry feels weird that Draco and Neville are engaged—they’re only twenty-six years old. What’s the rush? And to make matters worse, ever since Neville and Draco’s very odd, very Pureblood engagement party, something is off between Draco and Harry. There’s no logical reason the engagement would change things between them. Draco’s just his friend. Isn’t he?
It was based on a prompt from my very excellent pal @captaindingdong 🫶🤟 (and is a love letter to her as much as it is to Scotland)

Thank yous: A thousand thank yous to @upon-poppyhills and @jungeatheart; your unconditional and unwavering support not just for this fic, but for little old me, is true friendship and I adore you both. Thank you to @nsasquith and @lettersbyelise for jumping in on such short notice to beta; your generosity with your time really saved my bacon. And to @coppercatbird for the cheer read, thoughts, letting me talk things through and calling me a dork when I flailed. To @cherriontop for your excellent thoughts and guidance on sensitive topics, and for generally being lush ❤️ and to everyone who was kind and supportive of me as I wrote. ALSO to the folk who read this story while it was anon and left nice comments, I cannot overstate how lovely you are. Alright, I'll shut up now 🥲

Featuring suspicious Harry, on-his-last-nerve Draco, an impromptu presentation on weasels, and my all-time favourite tag: "cherries and cherry juice as Draco Malfoy's wingman."
I have so many friends to thank for their help with this project, which is a reminder of how wonderful and supporting my writing community is. Thank you to @lettersbyelise, @orolin-writes, and @darlingirly for reading the whole draft and giving me comments and vibe checks, and to @upon-poppyhills and @angeldog5 for reading snippets and cheering along the way. I also must tip my hat to my fave non-fandom writing server: the daily writing prompts there inspired several things in this fic, and it would be less weird (and less good) without those prompts, so thanks to God (not their real name) for getting weird just to make my life difficult.
This fic was a gift for @jungeatheart, who writes some of the most screamingly funny humour in the fandom, and I was truly honoured to create this gift for you. You are such an incredible, supportive figure in this fandom and I am so incredibly happy to have written this wild ride for you.
I also want to thank all my friends who have heard next to nothing about this fic for months but have supported me all the same—I'm so incredibly lucky to know so many amazing, supportive people! And finally, thank you to everybody who has ever written weird Draco or weird Harry. You are my people.
And thanks, as always, to @hd-wireless mods for all the incredible work they do for the community!!!

So I thought I was done writing werewolf fics with Crash Into Me, but then I saw this song prompt for @hd-wireless and the evil wolf in me said 'No, not yet! You shall spend five more months agonising and falling down the rabbit hole of wolf behaviours on the Internet.' And so here we are - 72,000 words and countless hours later, I humbly offer a second chance story spanning two timelines (past and present) of Draco and Harry as bonded werewolves, both finding their place in the world and in each other's lives. ❤️🐺
I'm so pleased and excited to finally thank my amazing friends who helped me along the way by cheering and giving valuable feedback: @fluffyunderneath, @jungeatheart, @angeldog5, @coppercatbird, @lettersbyelise, @rainjulyx and my constant, brilliant beta for all seasons, pricklypear ❤️❤️❤️ What an absolute rollcall of talent. I'm so so grateful for your friendship, brains, and support.

I have a village of people to thank for this fic but I'm going to begin with the two that, without them, there would have been no story.
@coppercatbird and @upon-poppyhills you were the most incredible friends and sherpas up the mountain that was writing this. There aren't words enough for your time and support and attention. Copper, thank you for carrying me over the finish line. Poppy, thank you for pushing me to the start.
Next my magnificent betas @moonmanatee and @elskanellis (and also copper!) who were SO with me ALL THE WAY and I just couldn't sing your praises more. This was an eleventh hour endeavor and your wonderful edits and enthusiasm made this fic a billion times better.
@greattemptation, @fluffyunderneath, @xalandrix and the taskmasters, thank you for providing the support and cheers I needed exactly when I needed it.
Thank you not least to the mods of @hd-wireless I was woefully over deadline and I deeply appreciate your patience & accommodation !!
@dryrsheet it was an honor to write for you my friend. Really, truly.
This fic was a huge accomplishment for me personally. Thank you so much everyone for making my dreams come true. <333
Hey, look, another @hd-wireless fic claim!
I'm happy to finally be able to say that I wrote Dracoula.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/85098251
Dracula by Tame Impala had already moved into my head and refused to pay rent when I saw this Wireless prompt. I am eternally grateful to @virtuallola for jumping in and being an absolutely amazing beta reader and to @cherriontop for cheering me on and keeping me going.
You might like this fic if you enjoy vampires, an overly dramatic Draco, a besotted Harry, a bit of a crack-style approach, and a dash of soul mate.
You might not like this fic if you are squicked out by blood.
And finally, a great big thank you to the mods who ran this! You are awesome!
