Day 13: a rare pair
š Licurici Ā by @lou-isfake
Draco/Harry/Charlie, wordcount 133k, E
Summary:
Charlie wanted Harry, but heād never planned on having him. Heād never planned on Draco Malfoy, either. He hadnāt planned on anything but living out his days in Romania, with his friends and his dragons and his safe, peaceful distance. Apparently, it wasnāt a very popular plan. This is a story about crumbs and flickers and roots, running away and coming home; about falling in love without meaning to (twice), and having truly good friends, and the mutually revealing recognition between two people in love with the same man.
LicuriciĀ (m) Noun, Romanian (plĀ licurici) - Firefly (pronunciation here!)

One thing you may or may not already know from my previous recs, I love, ADORE, a good poly fic and I have to say Licurici is at the very top of my list. I wasn't sure about this pairing at first, because I am a very hardcore Drarry shipper, yet this fic has demonstrated beutifully how freaking deliciously Charlie just makes sense in this dynamics. He is the calm they need, the experience, the wilderness, the absolute devotion and acceptance. He is somehow exactly what both Harry and Draco need and I just... *melting*
There are quite a few aspects that make this story exceptional, let me enlist just a few:
Charlie being an empath (!)
while Draco is an excellent Occlumens (the angst!!)
THE DRAGONS! I would die for Mathilde. I kept imagining her as Hiccups from "How to train your dragon" and I couldnāt help falling in love with her šš¤
the fact that the Malfoy grounds are being repurposed for a dragon sanctuary ā as in, a place of healing and safety and DRAGONS
Charlie coming home. Not a lot of works out there describe that and I absolutely loved this aspect of the story.
Last but not least, big shoutout to @phoenixortheflame who has done a stunning bind of this fic with @saijordison Challengers-inspired art on the cover no less <3
Thank you for this lovely prompt @hprecfest and of course dearest @lou-isfake for your captivating fiction š¤
