Summary
Harry's life is his work. And through years of working long, exhausting hours in child and family services, Harry's developed some guidelines for himself when it comes to taking children into his home. One, he'll only do it in emergency situations. And two, he won't take them long term.
While he has no official policy on his romantic relationships, they never seem to last very long either, no matter how much he might dream of finding love.
But when eleven-year-old Ben Healy comes blasting his way into Harry's world, his predictable, somewhat lonely life gets turned upside down. Harry can't help but draw parallels between himself and the Muggleborn orphan, and despite his best efforts, he grows attached. Taking on the responsibility of caring for a child is a terrifying prospect, though, and Harry's not sure he's up to the challenge.
Meanwhile, questions arise concerning Ben's mysterious parentage. Is it possible he's not Muggleborn after all? And why is his hair that particular shade of blond?
And why is it so bloody easy for Harry to fall into his old, obsessive habits when it comes to Draco Malfoy?

Summary
In 2017, Harry is on his way to Pansy and Luna's beach house. He’s a bit terrified of seeing Draco, to be honest. It’s been a while, and then there’s the little matter of Draco having married someone else in the interim.
In 2001, Draco is drunk, wearing Pansy's mother's ermine coat, and afraid to walk into the Leaky because someone might throw a curse at him. So, of course, he runs into his ex-nemesis and hopeless crush, Harry Potter.
This is a love story that isn't perfect, about two people whose timing is never quite right, and all the moments that come together to make something extraordinarily beautiful anyway.

Summary
When Harry came back from the dead, he didn't come back alone. At first it’s easy to explain it away - the nightmares, the smoking, and the short temper can be blamed on the war. Before long, though, as his strange behavior escalates, Harry finds that he’s losing bits of time and pieces of himself to the dark, until he can hardly tell where it ends and he begins.

Summary
Harry's lonely in the aftermath of his divorce. Except for the weekends that he has the kids, Harry's cooking gourmet meals for one in his big, empty farmhouse, with only his seven cats for company.
Until, that is, Harry finds Al and Lily playing with Scorpius Malfoy in the front yard, and learns that Draco Malfoy is his closest wizarding neighbor. Oh, and also, Harry's favorite cat is stolen (multiple times!) by someone who had the audacity to put a sparkly pink collar on her, with a nametag that reads "Plumeria Seraphin Snugglybug". These things (Malfoy and the cat-snatching) may or may not be related.
Featuring: a cat-loving Harry who loves to cook, has playdates with Pansy Parkinson, and tends to rap when he's wasted, and good-dad Draco Malfoy who's still a prat, albeit an irritatingly attractive and charming one.
Also featuring: a slew of adorable children, a stolen cat named Stormy, copious amounts of sexual tension, divorce betting pools, amoral yet charismatic Slytherins, peeping-tom Harry, foot massages given while under the influence, Harry's first time with a bloke, and did I mention cats?
