    Summary

    The war was over.

    Or at least that’s what the papers said.

    They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.

    Maybe they did.

    ***

    In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.

    It's super.

    Summary

    It's been eight years of this. Eight years since the tug that drew Harry like the tide pulls the earth towards the Camerlengo and Vatican City. Eight years since he'd last felt what it was to think freely and not around the wretched, awful din. Eight years since the bars of his gilded cage had slammed shut around him all while the Camerlengo spun the key on his conniving finger.

    But it was today when Draco Malfoy walked into St. Peter's Basilica, looking so young as though the years had passed him by, and smelling like pennies and dead leaves.

    For H/D Fangfest 2022.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    better than expected but I'm too squeamish for the ending. At least it was a happy ending.

    Summary

    Harry Potter, accomplished Auror, is getting married. Or, he will be, when his twenty-five question, scientifically valid survey (developed by Hermione) yields a candidate (see: The Potter Project). Designed to filter out the pureblood elitists, the smokers, the vegans, and the crup haters, Harry's questionnaire is, truthfully speaking, a last resort.

    Enter Draco Malfoy.
    Harry doesn't even consider him for the Project seeing as he's.. you know... male, not to mention his school-boy rival, but he is drawn into Malfoy's quest to find the man who murdered his father (see: The Malfoy Murder Mission). When something like a friendship develops between the old enemies, Harry must confront the feelings he's been running from his entire life and the decidedly unreasonable conclusion that Draco Malfoy just might be who he's been looking for all along.

    Directly based on The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. I claim no ownership of the premise or the story line, though all deviations are my own. Characters are from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.

    Summary

    It’s not Draco’s fault that Potter is seeing things, it’s not.

    Draco didn’t ask for Potter to show up fifteen years after they last saw each other, demanding to know why the Spectroculars Draco invented malfunctioned while Potter was painting and cost him an eye.

    Scorpius hadn’t asked for that either, though, so when Potter and the rest of Draco’s patients begin seeing mysterious symbols through their prosthetic eyes, and the resulting blow to Draco’s public reputation drags Scorpius’s political campaign through the mud, Draco is determined to fix it.

    If that means trudging through a boggy moor in search of a fictional species Luna thinks is causing their problems, Draco will just have to pluck up the courage, march in with a team of Gryffindors, and be ready to battle any beast they meet.

    Even if that beast looks less like the large, bipedal talking toads they find and more like the Ministry of Magic as a whole.

     

    AN: The injury descriptions have been rated non-graphic by multiple readers. To the best of my abilities, that’s true.
