[H/D Owl Post] Filled with the Spirit
The moment Draco tries to pull his fingers out of Harry’s mouth, Harry bites.
Not hard enough to break the skin, but hard enough that a delicious little stripe of pain digs into the bone above Draco’s knuckles.
Draco might have been born at half-past eleven at night, but it wasn’t last night. Harry’s baiting him, but in cases like these—a long day, deep involvement with the curse, a near-miss—it’s less conscious brattiness than a compulsive need for reassurance.
Reassurance Draco is prepared to provide. He’s still got his off-hand at Harry’s throat, ready to squeeze, and squeeze he does.
Harry gasps, gagging a bit on Draco’s fingers. His pupils blow even wider. They’d already been quite wide, what with the breaking, but the Killing-Curse green thins out. His chin tips up another fraction, and his eyelids flutter, and finally—just when Draco’s going to have to let him breathe—Harry laps at Draco’s fingers with his tongue.
That’s the only apology he’s in any position to give. Draco waits a moment more, then slides his hand from Harry’s neck to his hair.
“Is that all you’ve got in you?” he asks.
Harry shakes his head.
Draco presses down onto his tongue, and Harry takes his cue to suck, his dark eyes on Draco’s face.
Of course, Draco is no wide-eyed ingénue. He’s well aware of the glints in Harry’s eyes like the tiny points of flame spreading into the pews from the Paschal candle. Let us lift our eyes to him. The Muggles will be looking at a bronze baldacchino a hundred feet high during the Mass tonight, and beyond it, the Cathedra Petri.
They’ll look, but they won’t see. Not at first. The Mass begins in darkness, so the altar and the throne and Bernini’s Dove of the Holy Spirit will be rendered in shadow. There is nothing to do but wait for them to return. To trust they still exist. Faith, not sight.

Feline Cosy Summary: The best way to stay warm on chilly winter days is to find a willing companion to cuddle up with. Good thing Harry and Draco have each other. Art Medium: Crochet Rating: General Notes: starquesting, when I saw that you had cats and Animagi on your wish list, my first thought was making Drarry into cats. It's one of my fav ideas I love to revisit...any excuse to have them snuggling together and taking care of each other. I also figured, why not crochet them into squishy feline friends? Happy hols and new year!
Review/Comment of: Your Hot Hands, by Starquesting Summary of Fic: Draco always wanted to know where Harry Potter disappeared to. This is not what he expected. Word Count of Fic: 7,563 Rating of Fic: explicit

Word Count: 5055 Rating: Mature Contains: Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Fluff, Creature Fic, Werewolf Harry Potter, Werewolf Draco Malfoy, EWE, Canon-Typical Violence, Description of Scars and Injuries, Medical Procedures, Wandmaker Harry Potter, Cursebreaker Draco Malfoy, St. Mungo's Hospital Notes: Dear STARQUESTING, I loved your list of prompts! So many lovely ones to choose from. I decided to go with the forced proximity scenario (even though it's forced mostly on Harry's part). Also, creature fic! I hadn't written werewolves before, but I fell in love with the idea of two wolves. white and black, playing in a nightly forest, and went from there. Huge shout-out to my lovely beta J. for her help, and of course the mods for all their hard work!

OWL GIFTS for @RainstormRadish!
CHECK OUT on AO3: The Quiet Truth Summary: Three simple rules govern Diagon Alley, keeping peace between its two most famous shop owners, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. But beyond the rumors and rules lies a quieter story and a peaceful evening shared by a lakeside cottage. Word Count and Art Medium: 431 words & visual art Rating: PG Notes: RainstormRadish, I hope you enjoy this! Initially, I planned to gift you a moodboard featuring Harry as a wandmaker and Draco as a bookshop owner. However, when I saw the word "mysterious" in your sign-up, inspiration struck, and this drabble practically wrote itself!
READ on AO3: Black's Books Summary: Someone's stealing books and ornaments in Sirius' bookshop. Harry and Draco try to figure it out, but first they'll have to learn how to get along. Word Count: 3841 words Rating: G Contains: Bookstore, Mystery, Enemies to Friends to Lovers Notes: This story is for RainstormRadish. I loved the prompts you gave, and the image it created in my mind just ran away and turned into this. I hope you like this small little mystery story. A huge thank you to J for all their help with this work. My unending gratitude also goes to the beautiful mods who constantly put up with my tardiness. Y'all are incredible.
WATCH on AO3: [fanvid] AITA for being "obsessed" with my childhood nemesis? by RainstormRadish Summary: In which Draco asks the internet if he's being reasonable. Only one commenter is sympathetic. They start talking. Video Length: 7:35 minutes Rating: Mature Contains: Texting, Sexting, Humor, EWE Notes: Radish, I was so excited to get you as my giftee!! I hope you like this video for your amazing fic!!!
