Summary
Bitten at sixteen and bonded to Potter at nineteen as a last-ditch effort by the Order to save the Saviour from himself, Draco had come to terms with the cold reality of their arrangement. Potter needed a mate and Draco needed his mother free from Azkaban. Neither of them needed anything else. Not affection, or friendship, or love, no matter how tempting.
And for many years, it works. Draco lives in England. Potter does not.
But at twenty-nine, Draco becomes London’s newest Alpha and long overdue decisions need to be made. He’s not too worried, though. Getting Potter to agree to dissolving a bond he never wanted shouldn’t be too hard.
Should it?

Summary
No one, not even Morgana, knew why Akira’s power was so different from everyone else’s. Akira didn’t really mind the whole “learn as you go” approach, but as Igor granted him more power, he started to feel strange side effects – random fits of anger, melancholy, mania – without any obvious source. In a fit of inexplicable rage, he storms into Mementos on his own, only to be saved by another persona-user wearing a black and purple body suit…
Forming a tentative alliance, they delve into Mementos to discover the source of their strange, shared power, and begin to unravel a vast conspiracy, the cogs of which were set in motion long before Akira ever came to Shibuya.

Summary
The ongoing
disasterschronicles of the Ignoble and Least Ancient House of Potter…
…and Lovegood,
…and Malfoy,
…and Greengrass,
…and Scamander.This series is about love in different forms, accepting history instead of trying to change it, fantastic beasts and why you shouldn’t find them in the middle of Islington, and an increasingly overcrowded family tree.
🫖⏳🐉
Anthology containing:
The Weight of Names (and All Our Strange Belonging)
Harry Potter is fine.
Married. Baby on the way.
All is well.
Then he realises he’s in love with Luna Lovegood… on her wedding night.
“Expecto Patronum…”
And he could not mistake the luminous hare for anything other than what it was as it sprang from his wandtip and landed gracefully on the leaf-littered path ahead of him, almost golden under the sunrise.
Harry let out a long, miserable sigh.
“Bollocks…”
He won’t cheat, but he will quietly spiral, especially when he learns that Luna and her husband Rolf are in a secret polycule with another couple: their so-called “reformed” ex-Death Eater boyfriend Draco Malfoy and his dying wife Astoria.
Also, someone really needs to stop letting kids meddle with illegal time-turners…READABLE AS A STANDALONE

⚯͛ SHORT ONE SHOTS ᨒ°Just You
Weeks into their Magizoology studies, Luna Lovegood has talked a lot about Harry Potter and not much about herself. Apparently Rolf Scamander has noticed.
“I was wondering if you might tell me something about you. Just you.”
READABLE AS A STANDALONE
⚘ SHORT PREQUEL 𖥎The Star, the Sun, the Moon, and the Story (Before the Storm)
After the war, Draco Malfoy keeps things simple.
Then Rolf Scamander asks him to dinner.
Unfortunately, Draco realises too late that he really should’ve asked more questions before agreeing.
“Yes,” Scamander said, “I am seeing someone.”
“Then why in the name of Morgana le Fay,” Draco asked, “are you trying to take me to dinner?”
“Because she told me not to give up on you yet.”
Draco almost tripped over his own feet.
AKA: Draco Malfoy is bad at feelings so a pair of odd but alarmingly well-rounded beast experts enlighten him, using tea, fried plantain, Challah, and soft handling.
READABLE AS A STANDALONE
☀︎ MAIN PREQUEL ☽Sirius Potter and the Boy Who Became a Beast
Sirius Potter, firstborn son of the Chosen One, is set to be Hogwarts’ first Squib student in history whether the rest of the wizarding world likes it or not.
Nepotism? Yes. Genuine talent? Also yes. Love and support from his huge, chaotic family? Thankfully.
Also his best friend Scorpius Malfoy happens to be inconveniently, intensely, hopelessly in love with him, despite their dads being married.
“At 14, his dad got Dark Lords and murdered classmates; Sirius Potter got a platinum blond step-brother with undiagnosed autism.”
Then Scorpius decides to become an Animagus, only to realise he might prefer life as a beast instead of as a boy — because becoming something else means facing both sides of yourself, and hurts far more when one side is already hiding in the dark.
AKA: Scorpius is lovesick and dramatic, so naturally he makes it everyone’s problem.
READABLE AS A STANDALONE
⚧︎ MAIN SEQUEL 𖤍Scorpius in the Dark
Scorpius Malfoy might’ve been softer in another world. In this one, he’s been raised to obey three imperious truths: power is survival, mercy is weakness, and sentimentality is poison.
Then his imposter came along, destroyed the façade that was his life, and vanished without a trace.
“He hated that stupid nickname. Scorpion King. It was uninventive, began as a joke, and only stuck because his Patronus was an amblypygi — or rather, a tailless whip scorpion.
But any old bestiary could reveal the truth:
The amblypygi, in reality, was not a scorpion at all, but closer to a harmless spider. It had no venom. It avoided predators. It couldn’t even spin its own web.”
AKA: Scorpius is still a cinnamon roll even in the Dark Timeline; he’s just way better at hiding it…

Summary
Harry Potter is exhausted, haunted by the media, and somehow more socially anxious than ever. The war never came, but he’s still stuck in the middle of everything—The Chosen One, The Liar, The Symbol. He’s tired of being looked at. Tired of being looked through.
When eighth year begins, he flees to the Room of Requirement to escape it all. It’s quiet there. Safe. Until it isn’t—until Draco Malfoy shows up. They agree to ignore each other, which goes about as well as you’d expect.
Includes: magical shenanigans, a snake named Thistle, thestral babies, inappropriate uses of Parseltongue, cozy chaos, smutty smut and angsty angst, and two idiots falling in love.

Summary
Remus saves Sirius from Azkaban, who takes one look at Privet Drive, and takes his godson away without a second thought. Years later, they’ve built a home with Harry, tea-stained mornings, forehead kisses, and love without question. But the past never stays buried. Between raising Harry, healing old wounds, and an unexpected proposal, Sirius and Remus find themselves caught between love, war, and the vows they’ve already made without speaking them aloud.
(or Harry just wants his godfathers to get married already!)(Warning: This is filled with tooth-rotting fluff, ridiculous amounts of kisses, and an ungodly number of cuddles. Sirius and Remus are completely obsessed with each other, and yes, it will make you gag. This is fluff that’s been raised in fluff town, in fluff country, in fluff world. Proceed with caution.)

Warmth To Go Around by dronarry_mods, unsightlypearl
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
27 Mar 2026
Summary
The Minister for Magic sends Harry Potter, Auror; Ron Weasley, Healer; and Draco Malfoy, Magical Cartographer, to the Tian Shan mountains on a delicate assignment: map the leyline system beneath the Inylcheck Glacier.
Now they’re trapped in a tent at the edge of a glacier with no magic, no shower, no central heating… and years of unspoken things between them. Not to mention the tension after an ill-advised kiss.
It would be a straightforward mission… if the mountain didn’t seem determined to test every fault line between them.
Featuring: a volatile landscape, oddly-named cats, close nights in a tent, and three men who are very bad at talking about their feelings.

This is a story about hidden identities, the power of memories and sleeping houses.
This is a story about hiking, tattoos, flowers and writing.

Draco rubs his temples. Merlin’s arse! Astoria is so much better at telling this story. She always manages to make it light, and funny, and- and poignant. Draco only manages to make it sound pathetic.Shelves: Harry Potter

Summary
Now Complete!
An ultra slow burn Drarry retelling beginning the summer before fifth-year and continuing through the final battle at Hogwarts.
Harry begins to distrust Dumbledore after the events of his fourth year, turning to an unlikely source for knowledge and information. The Occupation of Malfoy Manor by Voldemort leads Draco down a path that diverges significantly from the rest of his family. An event early on sets in motion a large rift in the Golden Trio, ultimately resulting in irreparable damage. Harry learns what real friendship is and who he can trust while making several self-discoveries along his journey to rid the Wizarding World of Voldemort for good.
There are several plot points from the original source material that remain unchanged and are therefore only referenced and implied. While I don't care for the author's personal views, I enjoy her writing and will not be re-writing anything that happens as they appeared in the books. This fic is long enough as it is! There will be author notes for any chapter that includes or alludes to these scenes.
Please make note of the canonical character death tag and remember what happens in Order of the Phoenix.

Summary
Kon masked his uncertainty with humor, sue him. Not that it ever worked on Robin. A smile was the best he's gotten so far. Kon would kill to hear the guy laugh. He would bet it was a really pretty laugh.
Kon's thoughts were cut short when he was shoved against the door. "Hey! What's the big id—mph!"
Soft lips swallowed up the rest of his words in a harsh kiss. It was more teeth and biting than anything else, but the Kryptonian's brain was too busy blue-screening to really complain about the technique.
Robin was kissing him!

Summary
If you’d asked Draco how he imagined his life at nearly thirty when he was sixteen, he definitely wouldn’t have said “taking shots at his Father’s dining furniture with a Muggle shotgun.” His life had taken a turn, somewhere between the Astronomy Tower and now, and he couldn’t be mad about it.
Lucius Malfoy is finally dead, and Draco is going to tear the Manor—and the Wizarding establishment—to the ground. When Harry is contracted to disassemble the wards, he’s faced with a Malfoy he never expected.

Summary
“Who let this sociopath play darts!” roared Harry, holding his arm.
“Oh, relax, it’s only a flesh wound,” Draco tutted, taking aim (at the dart board) with his final dart.The Slytherins and Gryffindors have been brought together by romance (Pansy and Ginny), friendship (Hermione and Blaise), and a shared interest in quidditch (Ron and Millicent). Four years in, there are only two holdouts.
Everybody agrees that whatever their problem is, Draco and Harry just need to shag it out.
All that’s left? Convincing them. Luckily, Luna has a solstice ritual to perform, and she needs help.

After the war, Harry and Draco, both deeply traumatized, return for their Eighth Year. A messy hookup, a lipstick, and an unexpected date spiral into a sudden relationship built on fragile ground and a misunderstanding. We all know misunderstandings usually clear up with time… but what if time is exactly what’s holding them back?
Or
A very insecure and defensive Draco and an overly lovesick and oblivious Harry stumble through awkward, painfully embarrassing first times—emotional and physical—while trying to navigate trauma, trust, and the terrifying possibility of real love.

Summary
Voices overlap under the bar’s dim lights, making the butterbeer glass glisten on the sticky, battered table. Harry stares at the drink, absently tracing a finger along the rim and wonders how long he has been here, idly nursing the same cup over and over.
It isn’t even half-empty.
"Potter."
Or: Harry Potter has too many feelings. Draco Malfoy does too. They are supposed to be adults, but the best thing they do together is being foolishly in love.

This is a story about a journey to distant shores, about redefining who you are, about a change of perspective.
And snakes.
