Ashes of Victory

The war is over, but the scars run deeper than anyone can see. Harry Potter thought surviving was enough-until Hogwarts forces him back into a world he's not sure he belongs in. He's dead inside, hollowed by loss, grief, and a war that stole his childhood.
Draco Malfoy is back too, sharper, colder, carrying secrets and shadows no one can touch. Enemies since the beginning, rivals in every sense. He has his own demons, and neither boy is ready to trust anyone. Yet when fate traps them in the same space, sharing a common room and dorms, old rivalries ignite, walls crumble, and unspoken feelings surface.
Two boys. Two traumas. One impossible connection. Sparks will fly, walls will break, and everything they've denied for years will fight to the surface.
Enemies. Survivors. Broken. And maybe, just maybe...they can find each other in the ashes. Maybe together, they can heal-or destroy each other.

"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
Broken- A Harry Potter Fanfic
The Dark Lord has finally been defeated. All Harry Potter wants is to finish his last year at Hogwarts and live a normal life like any other wizard. But that can be challenging when you're the saviour of the wizarding world, and when your eighth year at Hogwarts changes everything. These characters are owned by JK Rowling. I only own the writing and plot. It's canon, aside from some (very) small changes that probably won't go noticed. @m-blackhart designed this beautiful cover, i love them smmm This will be a drarry (Draco and Harry) story. This story mentions PTSD, eating disorders, and depression. It will also include self harm, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts. If any of these topics are triggering for you, I would advise you against reading. #1 in fanfiction 05/21/21 #1 in dracoxharry 02/20/21 #1 in drarryfanfic 01/13/22Complete
(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

All I Ever Wanted Was the World
!!!!! ALTERED CHAPTERS !!!!! "Have you any idea what it's like?" There were tears in Harry's eyes and it was suddenly like he couldn't control it anymore. Draco felt his stomach clench and he wasn't sure what to do. He wanted to hurt Potter ; so, wasn't this the way to go?...

Heartbreak Warfare
"You know what I think?" Harry leaned across the table. "I think you're afraid. You don't take risks like us Gryffindors." He scoffed. "Please, you Gryffindors are all wand-waving and no spell." Harry grinned, settling back into his seat. "Not me. I always follow through." "Prove it." Harry stood up and walked around the table. He leaned over Draco, one hand no his chair and the other on the table. Their faces were a mere inch apart, so close that Draco could see flecks of brown in his emerald eyes. "I don't see any follow-through," Draco taunted. And then Harry kissed him. Harry's hands fell to his shoulders so quickly that Draco teetered on his seat. Draco reached up and grabbed Harry's shirt in an attempt to catch his balance which resulted in the two boys falling to the ground with Harry on top. Harry's cheeks were red with embarrassment as he tried to get up. All he managed to do was knee Draco in the leg. Draco put his hands on Harry's hips. "Stop. Let me." In one fluid motion, Draco flipped them around so he was kneeling above Harry. "And for future reference," Draco smirked, bringing his lips down to brush against his. "I'm always on top."Complete

Will Harry make it though the battles that rage on in his mind? --This first book and a half is Rough, quality-wise. It's too severe to edit. Y'all are just going to have to give it a chance. I promise that it gets way better as you go through the four books.-- Trigger warnings for this whole thing.
