Softmagic Stories

They don't fall in love all at once. Sometimes it happens in winter courtyards and quiet classrooms. Sometimes it's shared tea, a borrowed shirt, or a moment that lingers longer than it's supposed to. Sometimes it's nothing more than staying when it would be easier to walk away. This collection is a series of soft, self-contained Drarry one-shots, each exploring a different moment where Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy choose each other - gently, deliberately, and without spectacle. Set across Hogwarts eighth year, post-school life, and quiet alternate timelines, every chapter stands alone. There's no overarching plot, no required order - just small, meaningful moments that lead to the same place.

Every time Tess fails, at auditions, friendships, or love, a flower blooms in her yard. What begins as a delicate marvel soon overwhelms her life. Roses spill over fences, lilies bow toward the pavement, and neighbors gather as if her failures were a performance. All Tess wants is grass again, something still and ordinary, something that doesn't move to the rhythm of everything she couldn't be. One moonlit night, a soft melody leads her to Hyatt, a tiny, quiet prince cursed to live inside the garden. He reveals that to break the spell of the garden and set him free, Tess must perform a final ballet. Accepting her failures and dancing through fear.

Elara Finch built her workshop in the narrow space between a tanner's shed and an old apothecary because no one else would make room for her. When her automaton awakens inside that workshop, the change doesn't come with sparks or spectacle, but with silence that no longer presses so hard, tools that seem to listen, and devices that respond to restraint instead of force. As Elara studies the residual effects left in the wake of her creation, she uncovers patterns that reveal this discovery is not new. Despite marks erased and records destroyed, someone reached this threshold before her, and chose to stop. Residuals of Wonder is a quiet, character-driven fantasy about unintended discovery, careful craftsmanship, and the unsettling realization that some inventions are not meant to be claimed.

They say a basket woven in haste will never stay full - but she believed her hands were steady enough to prove them wrong. When a young Sylren weaver sets out to create something lasting, she weaves deeper than she intends: threads of pride, longing, and the faint shimmer of crystal meant to strengthen her work. Yet each morning, no matter what she placed inside, the basket stood empty again. At first she blamed the vines. Then the village. Then the stories told by older hands about crafts that remember their makers. But as the season waned and her failures grew heavier, she began to suspect the basket was only holding what her heart could carry - and no more. In a land where twilight hums through every root and crystal thread, The Basket That Wouldn't Empty tells a story of work and worth, of learning when to hold tight and when to let go. A quiet Sylren folktale about pride, renewal, and the things that can only be filled once we learn to empty ourselves first.

The kingdom of Averlayne was built on silence. On secrets. On a power no one dared to name.

His father's love is distant. And the darkness rising beneath the kingdom is something no one speaks of aloud. Until it begins to awaken. Harry has never wanted glory. Raised by labor and sharpened by loss, he knows only how to protect - even when it costs him everything. When fate draws him into the palace and into Louis' orbit, he discovers that some bonds are older than prophecy... and far more dangerous. As shadows gather and a forgotten power stirs, the two are forced to confront a truth neither expected: That love may be the strongest magic of all - and the only thing capable of breaking the chains binding their world.

She didn't look away . The sea between them stilled - like it, too, was holding its breath. "Do you always flirt with death?" she asked. He smiled. "Only when she glows like you." A myth of silence, shadow, and sacred blooming.

A series of echoes. This is where it all began.
