Falling Through the Cracks | Eighth Year
In their eighth year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy is quietly unraveling. Plagued by crippling depression and anxiety, he battles the weight of his past-his family's betrayal, his role in the war, and the shadows that never seem to fade. Harry Potter, on the other hand, is haunted by the lingering effects of his PTSD, the scars of war still fresh in his mind. Together, they're two broken souls, struggling to function in a world that's moved on without them. When their paths cross once more, a fragile understanding forms between them, each sensing the other's pain. As they grow closer, they find that they might be the only ones who truly understand what the other is going through. Through quiet nights of vulnerability and shared silence, they begin the slow, painful process of healing, learning that sometimes, being broken doesn't mean you can't fix each other. But the road to recovery is never easy, and the shadows of their pasts threaten to tear them apart. Can love be the thing that saves them both? Or will they fall apart before they can ever truly come together?Complete

"Yeah, um, I..." But the lingering effects of Felix wouldn't let me lie. "I do. I really like you." "Not platonically, then." "Not platonically." "Well, that's lucky." He said. "Because I think I really like you too, Draco Malfoy." "If this is a joke," I began, not believing my ears, "then get lost and I never want to talk to you again. If it-" "It's not a j-" "Let me finish, Potter. If it's not a joke, then shut up and kiss me already and stop stalling." -------------------------- Draco and Harry are back for an eighth year of Hogwarts to finish their NEWTs.

never let me go
Harry and friends are returning to Hogwarts for an 8th year to complete their studies, but the last person he expected to return was Draco Malfoy. Can he put their old rivalry behind them and start anew? Draco has been dealing with his own struggles since the war, and finds himself in a very dark place when Harry Potter, of all people, comes back into his life. Can he offer what Draco desperately needs - a friend, or maybe more? This is the story of two boys working through old bitterness, sexuality, mental health, and new foes amidst the end of the war and their return to Hogwarts. Author's Note: This is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, with a lot of angst but a decent amount of fluff too, more of a plot than just the romance and a happy ending (trust me). Relationships are Harry x Draco, Ron x Hermione, and Pansy x Blaise. Updates will be regular because it's all already written out, and I will be publishing on AO3 at the same under the same name. There is also a playlist associated with the fic and a song for each chapter, so please check that out as well (link will be at the start of the first chapter). This is my first fanfic so all support is appreciated!Complete

Canary Creams and New Yellow Paint - (DRARRY)
It's been fifteen years since Draco last saw Potter, but here he is in Draco's Ocularistry clinic, claiming one of Draco's products malfunctioned while he was painting and cost him an eye. Draco's ready to fit Potter with a prosthesis and send him on his merry way, but then the rest of Draco's patients start seeing mysterious symbols through their eyes, and the resulting blow to Draco's public reputation drags Scorpius's promising campaign to be the Ministry of Magic's official Creature Liaison through the mud. Draco is determined to fix it. If that means trudging through a boggy moor in search of a fictional species Luna thinks is causing their problems, Draco will just have to pluck up the courage, march in with a team of Gryffindors, and be ready to battle any beast they meet. Even if that beast looks less like the large, bipedal talking toads they find and more like the Ministry of Magic as a whole. * Tags: Canon typical violence, non-graphic descriptions of injuries to eyes, EWE, disability, POC Harry Potter, Black Astoria Greengrass, mixed Scorpius Malfoy, Black Hermione Granger, Black Rolf Scamander, original creatures, magical environmentalism, unique jobs, middle-aged Drarry, 72k words Pairings: Draco/Harry, Draco/Astoria (past, amicable divorce), Lavender/Parvati, Luna/Rolf, Ron/Hermione Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K.

Marks of Destiny
In a world magically altered so that every touch between soulmates leaves a fleeting mark of warmth on bare skin, Draco Malfoy's meticulously structured life spirals into chaos. The phenomenon had always seemed a distant myth to Draco, until he discovers that Harry Potter, the infamous Boy Who Lived, is not just a thorn in his side but possibly much more. As their final year at Hogwarts unfolds, the marks of their unintended touches lead to undeniable heat, both literal and figurative. With Harry's notorious disregard for personal space, each accidental brush of skin forces them to confront the reality of their bond. Draco must navigate this new, heated dynamic with his rival while dealing with the impending pressures of a post-war world. Can they move beyond old grudges and accept the marks they leave on each other, or will their story be just another tragic tale of what could have been?Complete
