H/D OWLPOST NEW YEARS GIFTING EXTRAVAGANZA!

A DAY OF BONUS GIFTS!

Once again this year, we wanted to do a little something special for all of our participants! Traditionally @hdowlpost has been a fest of 3 gifts but since 2020 and 2021 were such tough years we have again arranged FOUR GIFTS for our participants! Thank you so much to all of you who made extra bonus gifts! Especially if you made four (or more!) gifts. We couldn't have pulled this off without you! We also want to offer a HUGE HEARTFELT THANK YOU to our pinch hitters who helped by jumping in and making extra gifts on short notice! (And also to those who were not signed up for the fest and created a gift without expectation of receiving one.) Thanks to you all we are able to offer a BOUNTY of GIFTS for the New Year! We'll release our bonus gifts, one by one, for a FULL DAY of gifting! (As long as technology agrees with us!)

The surprise gifts are posted on Livejournal. here: Suprise Gift Extravaganza

After such a crazy year, we hope this extra day of gifts brings a little extra cheer to everyone this holiday season! ♥ Your owl mods - @kittymiaomeow and @vaysh11 and our tired-but-happy owls

Excerpt:

Draco was already there, as Harry knew he’d be. He’d probably fallen asleep in his office, the idiot. Harry made a mental note to make sure the git went back to the Tamer’s Resort with him tonight before he forgot he was not, despite what his name might suggest, one of the dragons. 

“You’re doing so well, Suzie,” came Draco’s voice, soft and gentle. “You’ll get to meet them very soon.”

He was crouched, with his back to Harry, by the head of one of their biggest and most magnificent Chinese Fireballs—and one of the very first dragons Harry’d ever had under his care. Halting on the threshold, Harry allowed himself to smile at the sight of Draco touching Suzie reverently between her ears. 

He’d been so protective of her, at first. So reluctant to let Malfoy, of all people, come close to the dragon with whom he’d formed one of his deepest bonds, despite knowing she needed more care than he could provide for her. She needed a Dragon Healer, not just a Tamer, he’d known—but the fact it was Malfoy who was going to treat her had seemed so ludicrous at the time. 

Now, Harry couldn’t get enough of the sight of both of them together. Couldn’t help but marvel at how much she clearly trusted him, even around her eggs.

Gift from: anon

Read on AO3: 5 Times Harry Potter Kissed Draco Malfoy and 1 Time Draco Malfoy Kissed Harry Potter

Summary: As the title suggests... 5 times Harry kisses Draco, and 1 time Draco kisses Harry Word Count: 3740 Rating: Teen Contains: a bit of pining and miscommunication. Recreational drinking Notes: This is a gift for titti - I tried to take your likes and dislikes into account, and I hope you enjoy this! It was really fun to write a 5+1 fic, I've been wanting to and this seemed to work! Happiest of holidays to you!

Gift from: anon

Read on AO3: Coffee, Curry and Company

Summary: Harry doesn't want to admit that he's struggling. Lucky for him, he doesn't have to. Ron will always be there to have his back, and Malfoy, well, apparently he's there too. Though Harry isn't entirely sure why. At least, not yet. In which: - Harry sulks - Ron has regrets. - Draco is enigmatic - and good food is had. Word Count: 3160 Rating: General Contains: (Highlight to view) *Mild depictions of depression* and fluffy puppy petting Notes: For titti. I took a few liberties with your prompts and attempted to mesh the "Harry is messed up and needs rescuing" and "Harry will always be Potter to Draco" together. It didn't quite turn out the way I'd planned (there was supposed to be a bit of Draco needing Harry's help regarding Halley) but I hope you like it anyway :) Happy Holidays, and merry Owlpost. Big thanks to ana @static-abyss) for Beta reading!!

Read on AO3: when the world falls in love

Summary: With baby number two on the way, Draco leaves the tree decorating to his husband and son, to mixed results. However the love he feels for Scorpius, Harry, and the baby is nothing but overwhelming. A story of trees, lights, and dancing. Word Count: 2307 Rating: G Contains: mpreg, Christmas fluff Notes: Emma, you are truly a joy to know. From your absolute generous spirit to your sense of humour to all the love you give to the fandom, I feel so fortunate to know you. Your prompts were absolute perfection and I had so much fun picking and choosing from them to write this bit of fluff. Merry Christmas, my darling friend. And thank you for everything. Thank you so much to my beta reader S, as always you came through in a pinch. This wouldn't be any good without you. I love and appreciate you so much. Thank you to the mods for all of your understanding. I love this fest and I'm so glad to be able to take part in it.

OWL GIFTS for @bloodissharp!

Gift from: anon Review/Comment of: stay awhile (stay here with me) Summary of Fic:

"Then when?" Harry tries again. He's not sure if he really wants to see the photo or if he just wants to keep talking to Malfoy. This Malfoy, who is so different from what he was expecting. In his Muggle jeans and smartly pressed sweater, with an air of vulnerability around him that Harry isn't used to seeing, Malfoy looks approachable in a way he never has before. Harry stops his fidgeting as Malfoy looks up to meet his eyes. Through the hum of the crowded pub, he has to strain a little to hear him. "Maybe," Malfoy starts, hesitating a little but never breaking eye contact, "one day?"

Word Count of Fic: 3127 Rating of Fic: teen and up

Word Count: 9.8K Rating: explicit Contains: Angst with a Happy Ending, AFluff and Angst, Getting Together, FFamily, Found Family, Slice of Life, Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, Weasley Family Dinners, Coming Out, Secret Relationship Notes:

Dear Mish, When I read in your favourite genres that you love stories that deal with the topic of personal growth and learning to love yourself, I knew that I needed to write a Slice of Life sort of thing stretched across several years because, we all know, it takes time! I genuinely hope that you'll enjoy the read, and that you have a good Christmasseason! I want to thank my lovely friend ladderofyears for betaing this story for me and for always being up for talking about anything that's on our mind. You're an inspiration every day! Have fun reading! <3

Read on AO3: Dawning of a New Relationship

Summary: Arousal is an interesting thing. It doesn't exactly have a distinct smell. Instead, it's more of an increase in the concentration of the smells already present on a person. Arousal means that the fear is sharper whenever Draco walks by. It means that it lingers down Harry's throat, accompanied by the wave of warmth that Harry's come to realise is unique to Draco. Word Count: 2,760 Rating: Mature Notes: Very Happy Holidays Noella! I hope your holidays are full of wonderful things and that you have a lovely time. Thanks to the mods and to my beta, Eli, for their help with this fic. I appreciate all your help ♥

Read on AO3: Just Harry

Word Count: 5225 Rating: General Contains: (Highlight to view) *Pregnancy, Amicable Breakups, and Polyjuice Shenanigans* Notes: Happy holidays @veelawings!! Hope you enjoy this fic. I had far too much fun writing it. Merry OwlPost! Thanks to Ana (Static_Abyss) for Beta reading!!
