Barnaby Hirsch isn't one to put himself out there - he's shy and, admittedly, awkward - but desperate times call for desperate measures. When he signs up for a dating app, the last person he expects to match with is the campus' gay playboy, Gil Connolly. It should have been a one-night stand, but it's one night Barnaby can't forget. It's the closest he's ever felt to someone, the closest he's ever felt to belonging. Gil wants someone to belong to him. He has a collar, and he wants someone to wear it. Barnaby has a deer onesie, and he's starting to think, maybe, the two might look good together. "Fawned" is now available as a paperback on Amazon! This version is a first draft.

The war has ended and Harry won. Voldemort was dead but so was everybody else. Except for Draco Malfoy, apparently. [ harry ｘ draco short ] [ ©︎ ｜unwrath 2018 ]

harry and draco have always been rivals. that's just the way things were. were. past tense. everything is different now. the war is over but harry is broken. he has been broken so many times that he cannot begin to place back together his shattered pieces. he is a mess of torn photographs, faded and drained of color. he isn't sure how to escape the nightmares that have become his reality, dreams that are simply memories of times he has refused to think of, to dwell on. but somehow, when he's with draco, he feels everything he's refused to feel. draco, who he has hated all his life. draco, who has always hated him. draco, who is broken too. he never expected to find solace in the boy he was sure he'd never call his friend. but in him, he was finding so much more than he'd ever imagined. lowercase intended ☆2nd Place Winner in the 2020 Harry Potter Fanfic Awards for the Golden Trio Era ☆

"You can talk to me, i'll listen for hours." "Maybe that's your problem..." "What?" "Listening to me." *** After the second Wizarding War, Harry and his friends return to Hogwarts one final time to finish off their educations. Harry struggles do come to terms with being alive while many of his friends are not. Draco is having trouble dealing with the slander from his classmates due to his position in the war. Harry can't help but take notice of Draco, and how much he has changed, and how much that confused him. Nightmares, Astronomy, paintings, and many lost sketches later, how will they act on their new found epiphanies?

"Face it Malfoy, you're a bloody coward." Harry's smile was gone, replaced by a menacing scowl. While he was talking, he had made his way back to Malfoy, who was now standing in front of him, seething with anger. "I. Am. Not. A. Coward," Malfoy said darkly with gritted teeth. His knuckles were turning white as he clenched his fists. "Prove it," Harry snapped, glaring into irises of stormy silver. Cover by: @D4y_Dr3am (their art is amazing!!)

The terms of Draco's probation require him to finish his final year of schooling, he just wants to survive with what little dignity he has left, in face of students that hate him, falling behind on his school work, and all the strange fevers and weakness and changes... that only seem to be getting worse. tags: eighth year au, veela!draco

Draco Malfoy is the head potion brewer for the Ministry's onsite supply. Every day at three he goes to the nearest break room which coincidentally happens to be the auror break room, where he always seems run into Harry Potter, who might also be waiting just for him. It's most certainly not the highlight of his day and he certainly doesn't hold anything other than friendly feelings towards Potter. It's just tea. Nothing more than tea at three.

It's eighth year at Hogwarts for those students who've chosen to come back. Over the course of several months, Harry and Draco have managed to become close friends. Their friends are entirely certain that they ought to be much, much more and decide to just... help things along.

After the Second Wizarding War, Malfoy found himself alienated from the majority of the school; his old friends just irritated him, all of Hogwarts' students (besides a few salty Slytherins) hated and feared him, and the school he'd once called home seemed to want him out. Draco felt more alone than he ever had... That is, until one Harry James Potter came to realise his supposed arch enemy's dejection and pitied him. The Chosen One couldn't help but reach out.
