1. Absolution by dracosoftie [E, 28k]

▶ Draco and Harry return to Hogwarts after the war, both struggling with their own issues. Their unlikely friendship blooms into more but is torn apart by circumstances outside their control.

2. The Business Proposal by @persephoneapples [T, 1k]

▶ Draco is nervous as he waits for an interview for a job with Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. He should have known that this would be no normal interview.

3. Is Draco Malfoy a Werewolf? (Or does Harry Potter just want any excuse to obsess over him?) by @queenofthyme [E, 14k]

▶ When a tip-off suggests Draco Malfoy is conspiring with werewolves to launch a coordinated attack on the Ministry of Magic, Auror Harry Potter insists on leading the investigation, but he’s not prepared for what he’ll discover.

4. Isolation by @eelwinks [E, 4k]

▶ Harry Potter has been in quarantine for about a month. He no longer feels the need to wear trousers, is starved for human contact, and spends most his time binge-watching Doctor Who. His next-door neighbour Draco Malfoy, on the other hand, does not own a television. And is spending all his time cleaning and reading nearly every book he owns. On one sunny afternoon, they happen to run into one another (from over two metres apart), on their balconies.

5. Sick Day by @zandragorin [M, 1k]

▶ Draco Malfoy is a Healer. Healers don’t get sick. So no, Draco Malfoy, a Healer, is not sick. At all. Now if he can only get Potter to believe him.

6. The Valentine’s Day Bet by @mxmaneater [T, 3k]

▶ Draco may have sworn off bets with Blaise, but he certainly hasn’t with Harry. And his most recent bet with his boyfriend might have landed him as a ferret for the duration of Valentine’s Day.

7. A Visit From Beyond the Grave by @rei382 [T, 1k]

▶ After being together for several years, Draco decides to take the next step forward and tie the knot with Harry. An unexpected guest visits to make sure Draco had Harry’s best interest in heart.

6 May | LCDrarry Fic:

Of Labcoats and Animagi

Prompt: #97 | “Queer Eye” - 2017 - Series Author: Anonymous Word Count: 10,868 words Rating: Mature Warnings: mention of past abuse, panic attack (tw at beginning of chapter, can be skipped)

Notes: Please, don’t take offence at me messing around with the timeline. I know that when Teddy was pre-Hogwarts, the Netflix show Queer Eye didn’t exist. But for the sake of storytelling, let’s just de-age the HP universe a couple of years. (Makes puppy dog eyes at you) I tried my best to keep the Fab Five as close to how they are in their show, with the only exception of giving one of them (I don’t even know myself who of them it is) magic and making the others research on charms they can recommend. A big thank you to my amazing beta P, to another P for grooming advice (because I’m rather like second-year Harry than like JVN), to I for britpicking Bobby’s job and to L for being an amazing sounding board for an idea.

Summary: Fashion icon Draco? That’s long past. After the war, he never bought any new clothes and lives in his labcoats. When he doesn’t feel confident enough to meet his pen friend Prongs in real life, Luna decides to stage an intervention with a little help from the Fab Five.

12 May | LCDrarry Fic:

As You Wish

Prompt: #37 | “The Princess Bride” - 1987 - Rob Reiner Author: Anonymous Word Count: 21,917 words Rating: Teen and up Warnings: Canon-typical (Harry Potter and The Princess Bride) violence, mention of suicide, canon-typical character death

Notes: Thanks to my whole clan of helpers, but especially K for being such an amazing beta reader.

Summary: Draco was raised on a farm in the small country of Wiltshire; his favourite pastimes were flying on his broom and tormenting the hired farm boy. Though his name was Harry, Draco never called him that. On Harry’s forehead there was a scar shaped like a lightning bolt, so Draco called him Scarhead. Nothing gave Draco as much pleasure as ordering Harry around.

Or a story about fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, True Love, and miracles.

i demand to dig my own grave

Prompt: #10 | “Psych” - 2006 - Series Author: Anonymous Word Count: 20,836 words Rating: Mature Warnings: None

Notes: written for LCDrarry prompt #10- Psych the series- “i know, you know, that i’m not telling the truth…” thanks so very much to the mods for running this fest and helping me out when real-world events necessitated an extension! thank you to A and B for your beta help, support, and encouragement. first in the alphabet, first in my heart 😘 title and chapter names are all stolen from various episodes of psych

Summary: Draco finds himself in hot water with the Aurors, and in a burst of panicked inspiration manages to wiggle out of it by claiming to be a Seer. There’s just one little problem– Senior Auror Harry Potter, the Prat Who Lived, who’s known him for a decade, knows full well Draco doesn’t have a single psychic bone in his body and seems determined to pull him up for it. Now, the Department is demanding he help them solve cases, Potter’s looming over his shoulder at every turn, and worst of all, he hasn’t had a shag in weeks because of all this bother. What’s a pseudo-Seer to do?

Perfect crossover! The Maze test vs. TGBBO.

[parslynne]

Draco lay staring at the wall with dry hot eyes, with something old and familiar clawing up the back of his throat: rage, pounding against the inside of his skull, and the curling thoughts of how to—how to hurt Harry back, how to get revenge, and he shuddered all over and sat up.

He stared at Harry, at the back of his neck where the hair was curling damply, and forced himself to say, “Harry. Don’t—don’t come again.”

This little fancomic is of an amazing scene from Slithering by @astolat!

I had to tweak some lines to make it work for the comic, but I really hope that the meaning was preserved!! I love this scene so much. I’ve come back to this fic so many times and always relish reading this part!

And HM . MGM. okay more rambling about just how much I adore this scene below the cut. No real spoilers for the fic (though it would be confusing if you haven’t read it), but I will be screaming a lot

Keep reading

This is a lovely fanart scene from SLITHERING, by Astolat, which illustrates a scene in which Draco makes a painful decision about his pursuit of Harry. The whole fic is from Draco's POV, and starts right after the end of the 2nd Wizarding War

jane

intuitive, faithful, compassionate, and smart as a whip. you aim to see the best in people even in negative situations. on the outside, you seem level-headed and capable, but your emotions run deep, sometimes clouding what is right in front of you. kindness is your strong suit, but don’t forget to be kind to yourself. don’t let insecurities dissuade you from pursuing romantic relationships.

[zoya141620]

Also Jane, I guess, if you go by random questions and favorite color. And okay, some relationship questions.

So much of geek/nerd culture has been shaped by women over the years, and yet people often overlook it all. They’ve not part of some new “SJW agenda,” they’ve been there since the beginning.

This just in: dinosaurs taste delicious.

[copperbadge]

From now on all my chicken dishes will be dinosaur. Fried dinosaur for dinner! Cold dinosaur salad with apples! DINOSAUR AND DUMPLINGS. 

[naughtypiggy]

General Tso’s dinosaur.

[celticorca]

Springfield cashew dinosaur.

@copperbadge do we get to choose what kind of dinosaur.

[copperbadge]

I mean, we’re all in this together, nobody is in a position to prove you’re wrong if you choose a dinosaur and stick to your guns. 

[zoya141620]

Dinosaurs taste like chicken - makes sense to me. Y'know, this is probably why they went extinct, all those cavemen hunting them for the flavor. :D😉😎🤣
