My first ever Drarry fic. Put all my heart into this. Hope you guys like it. :) Sorry if it's a bit sloppy. (Former title: Life and Death) 6th Year. 3 years ago. Harry goes to confront Draco in the bathroom after hearing of his attack on Katie Bell. Instead of fighting him, Harry decided to talk things through. What he didn't know was that such a small change could affect their future drastically. Present time. 1 year after battle of Hogwarts. Draco died in battle during the war. And that left Harry devastated. After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter has yet to unlock the powers of the Deathly Hallows. Rumour has that the Deathly Hallows gives the owner the power of life and death. Can he gain this power to resurrect Draco? Or will it all be a lost cause?

All work and no play have made Harry a very dull boy. To shake things up a bit, the Weasley brothers give him a gag gift for Christmas: a dozen sessions at a brothel. A week later, Harry is stripped down to his underwear, nervous and excited, waiting for the man he picked from a shadowy picture. But when he arrives and pulls back the hood of his robe, Harry is shocked to see it is Draco Malfoy...a man he hasn't seen in years. Draco explains his rules and gives Harry a choice. Stay or go... *Alternative Universe* *AU Never Met* *Many Twists & Turns*

Draco had dealt with enough death to make peace with his own. Getting a handle on his emo angst, he assumed his life would end after Dumbledore's murder. He didn't expect to keep living. He didn't expect to find something, someone left living for. He didn't expect to reach out to Harry Potter for help. Even more so, Draco didn't expect to fall in love with him in doing so. This is a slow-burn romance and redemption Drarry fic written by a touch-starved queer person with a newly rekindled love for Paramore and MCR. Enemies-to-lovers always hits different when 'Playing God' is in the soundtrack! Get ready for Draco 'overthinking is my therapy' Malfoy, Harry 'not settling for less' Potter, nonbinary Hermione, and supportive best friend Ron, with appearances of 'awkward big brother' Bill and other notable Weasleys. Explicit consent and content warnings are important to me. This fic is mostly a safe space, with warnings added to relevant chapters (there's no SA/abuse in general). Yet, if anxious/angsty overthinking isn't your thing, maybe just skip this entire fic. (This book contains sexual content and strong language, so mature audiences only.) Chapters 1-45 have been edited in February 2022 for more consistent paragraph etiquette. All later chapters have this editing done before posting. Bonus chapters still yet to be edited.

"One night, Potter. That's all I want." Harry should have said no. Should have walked away. But when Draco Malfoy saves his life and names his price, refusing isn't an option. "No strings," Harry reminds him. Draco smirks. "Of course not." But magic binds deeper than promises, and when morning comes, neither of them can ignore the fire still burning between them. Because debts can be settled, but some things... some people... are impossible to forget.

"What did you do to Midoriya?!" "What do you mean I only made him BETTER" Hi this is a newer better version of my old story and it will be better and have more frequent updates.
