The war is over. Everyone is back to life as it used to be, but not everyone.
Draco Malfoy cannot handle the guilt he feels any longer. A voice tells him every single night that he is a traitor, that be does not deserve any kind of love after what he did. He lives like a zombie, until his beloved mother cannot handle it any longer and sends him to a clinic to get the help he so desperately needs.
But recovery is not the only thing he finds in the clinic.
Harry Potter might be the real hero who saved everyone from Lord Voldemort, but he certainly does not feel that way. He cannot sleep but when he does the nightmares hunt him. The pain he feels and the fears he has almost kill the boy who lived. Until one day his girlfriend cannot handle it any longer and sends him to a clinic to get the help he so desperately needs.
But recovery is not the only thing he finds in the clinic.
***
I feel like I should give some warnings. This book contains a few things that I should probably warn you for (in the first chapter you can find more warnings) :
- It is obviously a boyxboy story so if you do not feel comfortable reading a story with a homosexual theme please do not read the story.
- It will contain mental illnesses and I do not want you to read another word of this book if you know your sensitive for this kind of things. Your mental health is way too important to take any risks!
- And last of all, the story will probably contain a lot of grammar mistakes. You see, English is not my first language and this is actually my first English written story so please do not hate me if I make any mistakes.
I want to emphasize that I do not support the fact that some people are romanticizing mental ilnesses out there. This story does contain mental health issues but it is about showing you that you will always be able to find love and support, no matter what.

I whip my head around to be faced with Draco, he pulls me to him by the arm. His face shows a snarl. He drags me away from everyone, once practically alone he looks me up and down with a nasty look on his face. "Stop it," I say, but my tone is so guilty, I sound pathetic. "You were in on it," he lets out an angry chuckle. "I can't believe you choose to help Potter." "He was doing good, Draco." Draco only shakes his head at me, clenching his fists. He's quick to punch the wall beside us.

Endgame - A Drarry Fanfic (Harry Potter x Draco Malfoy)
After being married for 20 years, Harry Potter finally admits to Ginny and himself what he's always sort of known: he's gay. He starts to see Draco in a different light, but nothing is ever easy for 'The Boy Who Lived': the war has left him scarred. Harry's name is all over the news again as people try to figure out why he and Ginny divorced. He doesn't know how to tell his children that he's gay and ends up distancing himself from them. He places his trust in Draco, but will that turn out to be a mistake? Takes place after all the books and Cursed Child (only a few small things have changed like some side couples and Hermione didn't become Minister). Spoilers for all 7 books. TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, PTSD, suicide (these warnings are labeled at the beginning of chapters), (some) profanity and sexual content (PG-13). I do not own Harry Potter, any of its characters or any images. All writing, however, is my own. COMPLETED Word Count: ~35,000Complete
(Drarry) Faking My Own Death
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.Complete
Please Be There If I Remember
"Mr. Malfoy, where are you going? You just woke up from a great fall after all, I'm sure your friends can come here, instead of you going to them." Who was Malfoy? Oh right, it was probably him. A little bit late, he realised that he should have told her about the complete memory loss since he had no idea where he was going to go once he left the hospital-like room. On second thought, maybe making a scene would have actually been a good idea. Well, it was too late to turn back now. "I will just be going out for a little stroll...around. I must admit that I am in dire need of some fresh air. My, how long did you say I was out for again?" He put his hand to his chest like it was an absolute travesty to have not been told. "I-uh...four days, Mr. Malfoy. You were out for four days." "Well then, I shall be going now. Toodaloo!" Madam Pomfrey stood completely frozen for a long moment like this was the exact opposite of what she expected to happen when Draco woke up. "Mr. Malfoy, wait!" The witch eventually called out, but Draco was already out of the door. Draco wakes up in the hospital wing having no idea who he is and how he got there. Turns out he fell 20 feet down the stairs and got his memory wiped. What else could go wrong? Meeting Harry Potter definitely was fun, but can he figure out who obliviated him and get his memories back? Or will he be stuck like this for the rest of his life? Drarry story Draco is best friends with Pansy, Theo, and Blaise This story is a mix between being fun and being angsty, so be prepared for sudden jumps between light and dark (I can't help how my brain thinks, just roll with it) For teen and up audiences. TW: Mentions/implied reference of child abuse and only a splash of language There will be warnings at the beginning of a chapter if necessary. The cover is the result of me being supremely bored. Yes I know it sucks but that's kind of the point because I am no editor, just ignore it as best as you canComplete

"What the Heart Always Knew"_ DRARRY
After the Second Wizarding War, the wizarding world slowly merged with the Muggle one. Peace flourished. Equality became more than just a dream. People rebuilt, they healed. But not Harry Potter. Despite the peace, Harry carries an emptiness he can't explain. Something-or someone-is missing. The battle is over, the darkness gone, but he wakes up every morning with a strange ache in his chest, a phantom pain that no healer can mend. He tries to live. Tries to move on. Works at the Ministry. Spends time with friends. But he doesn't feel whole. Draco Malfoy vanished after the war-without trial, without a goodbye. No one has seen or heard from him since. Everyone thought he fled. Harry thought it was for the best. Until one day, deep in the Department of Mysteries, a locked report surfaces during a routine audit. It's marked classified and magically sealed under Harry's own name. Inside is a memory. And in that memory, Harry sees a dying version of himself... and a terrified Draco Malfoy cradling him, whispering a forbidden incantation-magic that merges their life forces, binding them together so subtly, even death didn't notice. Draco saved him. But more than that-Draco forgot him. Intentionally. The spell demanded it: to give Harry life, Draco had to erase everything about himself, to disappear completely. New name. New identity. No past. Now, Harry knows what he's missing. Who he's missing. The search takes him across continents, tracking magic signatures, broken trails, and faded remnants.Complete
