1 – 20 of 36 Works in Insomnia
Summary
Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are both back at Hogwarts for their eighth year. Since his past still haunts him, rather than becoming an auror, Harry decides to pursue teaching and becomes the assistant to the new D. A. professor. Everything is going as well as could be expected for him (besides the nightmares), at least until he realizes that the potions he brews or takes are acting oddly.
Draco Malfoy is having a terrible year, plagued by the ghosts of his past, the hostility of his present, and the uncertainty of his future. If only Potter could stop being in some kind of trouble for just one single year.

Summary
Harry Potter, investigative reporter for the Daily Prophet, leads a perfectly adequate life. When he’s not trawling back-alleys for a juicy story, he’s playing tea party with his favourite niece or eating curry with his former house-elf. Draco Malfoy, renowned chef in muggle Paris, was perfectly content living a life of obscurity. But when his mother’s health begins to fail, he must return to wizarding London and face his past. When Harry gets an odd assignment to interview the enigmatic chef of the new muggle-wizard restaurant Le Cerf, he’s reunited with his childhood bully - and is reminded just how much a person can change in ten years. Hijinks, mystery, and food-related dirty talk ensue when Harry receives an anonymous tip of a blackmarket dragon trade and enlists Draco to be his concierge into the shady underworld of the wizarding elite.

Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Potter still wasn't looking at him. Instead he faced the windows, watching the snow and the sunless sea.
Behind the welcome desk, standing tall amidst the wisdom and glistening magic, Draco controlled the spheres of restless light and the flustered books, all with gentle flicks of a wand that had once served Potter without a beat of hesitation.
If Potter were to look, Draco would be ready. He had a right to be here. The library was his, if only after hours.

Summary
While all of these will make a bit more sense if you read them in order (chronological, although they definitely won't be posted that way), doing so isn't necessary! I don't think you'll miss anything plot-wise if you skip the one-shots you're not interested in, either.
At least five more works of various lengths planned, likely more will happen as time goes on. Edit as of March 2022: Harry Potter franchise is not sparking joy at the moment so! Who knows when updates will happen.
Anthology containing:
Matchmaking with Minerva
She hummed noncommittally. “One date.”
“Great!” Minerva said with real and unnerving cheer. “I’ll plan everything. Don’t worry about a thing.”
(You don't need to read this to understand the rest of the series, and you don't need to read the rest of the series to understand this.)
Speaking with Serpents
In which Harry would like nothing more than to become a world-renowned herpetologist, and he won't let a little thing like the existence of magic get in his way. If that means attending a school called Hogwarts—and really, how is he supposed to frame that on his college applications—then so be it.
12 Grimmauld Place
One would think the dampness necessary to produce such stunning quantities of mold would preclude the dust, but no.
Sirius and Remus visit 12 Grimmauld Place.
Talking with Tonks
“What do you mean,” she said dangerously, “when you say ‘snowed in?’”
Because he’d known her since they were both very young, Charlie Weasley scratched his beard instead of paling, stuttering or otherwise apologizing for existing.
(Takes place a few years after the events of Speaking with Serpents. You don't have to read one to understand the other.)
Let Me Go On
Marcus can't sleep, so he thinks instead. Post-Hogwarts.

Summary
Harry is a child. Why is it his job to save the school? Why is it his job to do anything other than attend classes and do homework?
It’s not his job, but it seems Dumbledore is trying to make it Harry’s job.
And well, after living with the Dursleys so long only to end up under the thumb of a brand new manipulator, can Harry really be blamed for running away?
If no one else sees value in Harry, then it’s Harry’s job to find value in himself. That is a job he can live with.

An eleven-year-old boy goes on a journey of self-discovery and self-love.
Let’s see what happens.(And he also maybe saves the world?)

A/N: I got some questions in comments so to clarify: the disability tag WILL NOT apply to Harry at any point in the fic. There is a character who is mute, and remains so for the duration of the fic, and the tag applies only to them.

Uncle Ben and Little Luke
“Ben,” Luke says, grabbing at his face with… well, with one hand, but he moves like he expected both, and forgot the other wouldn’t land without a prosthesis. “Ben, I’m six again. Or seven or five or something. The point is, I’m small and I have one hand and you’re alive. I have no idea what planet we’re on, but the Force is being weird everywhere.”
Is it?
It is.
Obi-Wan had thought it was mostly because he wasn’t dead anymore.
Why isn’t he dead anymore?
Auntie Soka and Little Leia (and Rex)
Ahsoka dies in one moment, quick and mostly painless.
A quick death was the only kindness the man who had once been her master had left in him.
Ahsoka floats in death. She is not possessed of a sense of self, nor any true intent. She is not like the Force Ghosts she remembers crèche tales about. Ahsoka is the loosest collection of thought and memory that could be called a being.
If that.
The Force carries the entity she now is, limp and finished with life and personhood, having passed on her duties to what remains of her people.
Ahsoka lets herself start to come apart to join the spread of existence.
And then she doesn’t.
