I read a multi chaptered drarry fic circa aug 2023 but I believe it was published way earlier.
A recluse!depressed! harry has frequent breakdowns and refuses to leave his house or accept help from any of his friends. (There was one chapter where he let Ron make him toast though but its very vague.) Draco hears about it somehow and (anonymously) starts sending a patronus in the form of different animals at the same time each night to keep him company even when Harry tries to push it away. I think the first animal he sent was a wolf or fox of some sort but they change. At some point, Harry yells at the patronus to leave during a breakdown and it doesnt come back the following nights. During that breakdown though, Draco contacts Hermione & Ron to intervene- Harry begins a process of healing (the entire middle of this fic is pretty blurry) and eventually falls for draco as himself but can’t commit to the relationship because hes still hung up on finding the patronus and draco won't admit to him. In the end they have a ““fight”” about it but harry finally realizes the patronus was draco all along.
If you're able to find it i'll be eternally grateful!
