It had been a week.

No. It had been almost a week.

No. It'd been 156 hours.

No. It'd-

"DRACO. STOP ZONING OUT WITH THAT PUPPY FACE. UGH. TALK TO HIM. I can't deal with you ignoring me today" He heard Pansy slam the door as she left.

He couldn't blame her. Not really. God forbid had she tried. Coming in every day getting him food because he was too depressed to move.

Oh. You want to know why he's depressed.

Let's do the whole sha bam of a flashback. Imagine a scary backtrack now thanks.

-----------------FLASHBACK-----------------

"Harry-"

"No. I get that you're insecure. I understand that. I'm always here to give you reassurance should you need it. But to make me feel like I'm cheating on you the second I talk to another human is absurd. "

"I know. But it's hard considering you're also bisexu-"

"So YOU OF ALL PEOPLE are holding my sexuality against me? I am in love with you Draco but if you do not realize I spend every waking moment thinking of you and you do not realize I am not attracted to any one else be it man or woman. I cannot help it. "

"Harry"

"I'm leaving. I'm too furious and I want space. I will only come back if you're willing to change this about you. "

---------------end of flashback--------------

He knew he was wrong but how does someone win back the fucking saviour of the world.

Oh wait. He thought of harry every waking moment too.

He knew Harry was at Ron's. He knew there was a banner near Ron's house. He knew Harry secretly wanted to modeling and had a few pictures.

Well. You know what happened next. This author does not know how to write because as you all know I could never- and as you all know I definitely am not a little bitch.

[until-the-house-shakes]

Harry being so excited to tell his parents about his new boyfriend, Draco, and James is more than supportive. Lily is also supportive but laughing her ass off because of course their Gryffindor son fell for the abused Slytherin who’s forced into a life he doesn’t want, just like his father

Draco takes Harry stargazing when neither of them can sleep.

Harmony

A: Rules are man made and man, well man can be wrong. And so can rules. And sometimes…breaking the rules is not to simply be mischievous but to keep or protect the harmony between us all.

Everyone: *nodding sagely and in awe*

B: Good god, what rule have you broken now ?

A: Did you hear the part were I prevented another … situation?! Every one is safe and sound! Damn, Why are you always so pessimistic?

B: And why are you always breaking the rules ?

Day 6 - "Trek"

[drarrily-we-row-along]

I Miss You

They were still lying together, entangled and sweaty, hearts thundering against their ribs, Draco's breath ghosting over his neck, and Harry was in love.

So in love.

It made every part of him ache with the desire to latch onto the other man, to hold him and never let go.

Draco blew out a long sigh, "Merlin, you're good at that," he groaned, as he rolled off of him and sat up on the edge of the bed, reaching for his discarded boxers.

"You could stay," Harry offered, trailing his fingers over Draco's hip, choking back the feelings that were threatening to spill from his mouth.

The other man looked over his shoulder at him, raising his eyebrow, “we don’t do that,” he said simply, brushing a curl back from Harry’s forehead in a fit of tenderness before frowning and standing.

He took a deep breath, forcing down the words and fighting the ridiculous tears burning in his eyes. Harry buried his face in his pillow and focused on his breathing.

“Harry?”

“Hmm?” he replied, looking up at the other man, who was already half dressed.

Draco slipped into his shirt, “I was asking about the McClain case but if you’re too distracted-”

“I miss you,” Harry blurted.

His fingers paused, buttons half-done, “what?”

He shook his head and tucked his face into his pillow again. Maybe if he didn’t move, Draco would just leave and he could just mope on his own.

The bed dipped by his hip and after a moment’s hesitation, Draco’s hand rested on his shoulder, “what do you mean? I’m right here,” he added.

Harry shook his head again. He couldn’t, wouldn’t say the words that would make the other man leave.

“Harry,” he said, voice gentle and soft in a way that absolutely tore Harry’s guts to shreds.

“Don’t,” he gasped, eyes burning as he continued to fight back tears.

“Don’t what?” Draco asked, hand lifting away from Harry's shoulder and even without looking Harry knew he was throwing it in the air like Harry was being ridiculous.

Harry pulled away and knelt on the bed so he was facing the other man, let him see the wretched despair on his face, “don’t talk to me like that.”

“Like what?” Draco asked, raking his blonde hair back out his his face.

“Like you actually care about me,” Harry exploded, his chest heaving with the force of his admission. “Don’t use that tone of voice and then leave. Don’t touch me like I’m something you care about and then leave. Don’t give me glimpses of what it would be like if you actually cared for me the way that I love you-” he broke off, gasping for breath.

Draco stared at him, like he couldn’t believe what was happening. He probably thought that Harry had lost his entire mind.

He held out his hands, his nakedness a stark reminder of the vulnerability he was presenting before Draco’s composure. “I miss you the minute you put your clothes back on and start talking about work again, like this never happened. I miss you the minute that you climb out of my bed and leave me here alone. Hell, I miss you the moment that you decide you’ve laid beside me long enough and you stop being my lover and become the man who doesn’t even see me.”

The other man's mouth opened and closed without a word.

His chest was too small to contain his beating heart, too small to contain this much yearning and grief. “So please,” he whispered, “if you’re going to fuck off when you’re done with me, then just do it. Don’t prolong my agony. I can play your game at work, at bars and restaurants with our friends; I can pretend anywhere you’d like but don’t make me pretend in my own room, in my own bed.”

“Harry,” Draco whispered and then before Harry could tell him again not to say his name that way, Draco flew at him, pinning him against the mattress and kissing him, lips desperate on his. “Harry,” he whispered again, into his mouth as his hands wrapped around him, arms holding him tight.

“Don’t-” he started, a sob wracking its way through his body.

“I love you,” Draco breathed. “Circe, Harry. I love you so fucking much." His hands cupped Harry's face, wiped away the tears, "Harry," he whispered again, "my Harry," he kissed his cheeks and his eyelids, his chin and nose, his forehead and even his eyebrows. "I see you," he confessed. "You're all I see. You're all I think about. I just-"

"What?" Harry asked, tucking a strand of hair behind Draco's ear.

"I didn't want to be too much for you," he said with a self conscious little shrug. "You're so good, so lovely, so-" he shook his head, "You're everything, Harry. You're the sun that I revolve around day in and day out. I didn't want to overstay my welcome. Always feeling like I couldn't have enough of you felt better than worrying I wouldn't get to have you at all." He rested his forehead against Harry's, "I miss you before I've even gotten out of your bed, too."

"Stay," Harry whispered.

Draco nodded, nose brushing over Harry's, tears falling onto Harry's cheeks. "Sorry," he mumbled, pulling back.

He reached up and wiped his eyes, cupping his cheeks, "S'alright," he said. "Stay," he repeated. "Let me see you."

"I'm a lot," he said, rolling the two of them so they were lying face to face on their sides. "I'm sarcastic and snide; I can, and probably will, rip you apart with my words. I'll consume your every waking moment, Harry; I'll want you every moment that my eyes are open and every moment that they're not. I'll demand your attention," he said, "I'm so fucking needy."

Harry snapped his fingers and Draco was naked again, he pulled him into his arms and slotted their bodies together. "Good," he breathed.

"Potter, did you fucking hear me?"

He huffed a laugh and looped his thigh over Draco's hip, "I heard you. I want you," he said, "all of you, in case that wasn't clear." He nudged his nose against Draco's and kissed him again, softly this time. "Consume me," he whispered, "I'm yours."

Idiots to lovers is the best trope in the world. Like, the only ones standing in the way of their happy ending is themselves <3

[dothsexth]

Harry : I made some pie for you love.

Draco : Did u just call me love?

Harry : I mean if you don't mind?

Draco : ( a literally blushing mess) I- yes if you want to Potter

End Game is so drarry coded

[heyjude19-writing]

If drarry were together, stuck on an island for 3 months and could only bring 10 things (muggle or non-muggle) what would each bring respectively and why? Who would better suited for the wild? Anything surprising that the other might do? What would be each other's weak points (sunburns or catching fish etc). Would love to know what how this would go down in ur mind :D

Draco: this is stupid

harry: omfg it's a party game, a thought exercise if you want to be fussy

draco: why are we stuck there? did we forget how to apparate?

harry: jesus christ just say like, books or something

draco: no, i'm bringing my wand, that's all i'll need

harry: and what will you do for food, hmm? according to, uh, goldilock's-

ron: golpalott's

harry: that's the one. you can't conjure food from nothing, how will you feed yourself?

draco: ok, im bringing food for 3 months, my wand, a book on edible plants and... where is this island did you say, weasley? you never specified a geographic location so how am i to prepare properly, hmm? If we're in the southern hemisphere, the type of flora available will differ significantly and if this is tropical then i will have to consider--

harry: *downs his own drink, steals ron's and then motions for another round*

[local-multifandomist]

Just imagine Harry CONSTANTLY cracking dad jokes, and Draco is just at his wits end like:

Harry, dying of laughter from his own joke: then the guy said-

Draco: Potter, it is 5:00 am, I swear to Salazar that if you continue, I will end your bloodline.

He would do Christmas themed ones and you cant tell me otherwise

Day 6 - "Trek"

[drarrily-we-row-along]

Making It Work (Chapter Nine)

If Harry tried to say that their training was a walk in the park that afternoon, he’d be lying but it was strangely far more tolerable than it had been the past several days. Malfoy still got irritated with Harry for his impulsiveness and Harry still felt like he was chomping at the bit trying to drag Malfoy along with him but they at least communicated more. 

They were both lying on the floor trying to catch their breath from the last simulation when Higgins came in. 

“I see the Nexus orb is doing its job,” she said.

“We passed?” Herry asked hopefully.

“No,” she and Malfoy said simultaneously.

She smiled at Malfoy, even as Harry rolled his eyes at him and stuck out his tongue.

“What, are you 5, Potter?” 

Higgins spoke up before Harry could say anything, “So, your physical response and emergency response indicators were both up by 3%, which was a great improvement. But the indicators that really showed that your orb was working was your personality response. That was up 11%, good work you two. Obviously, it’s helped the two of you to talk with one another more.”

Harry nodded and glanced at Malfoy, “Yeah, I think it is helping.”

“That’s only because it hasn’t started asking the hard questions that you’ll resent it for later,” Malfoy said, and Harry couldn’t help but wonder if he was teasing or serious.

“Well, I think the progress you’ve made is brilliant.”

“Thanks,” Harry said with a grin.

As they walked out of the room Malfoy stretched his arm across his chest, his breath hitching slightly. 

“Alright?” Harry asked.

“Fine,” he said briskly as he exhaled. “Old shoulder injury that’s never managed to heal up properly. My body takes a beating as your partner, even when we’re not in the field apparently.”

“Wanker,” Harry replied, knocking his shoulder into Malfoy’s good one.

As they stumbled into their office laughing and shoving at one another, they were met by the sight of Ron and Hermione staring dumbstruck at the two of them. “Ron! Hermione! Hey,” Harry said, pleased to see them.

“Hi Harry,” Hermione replied, an odd expression on her face before she turned to Malfoy and nodded in greeting, “Draco.”

“Hello,” he replied carefully.

They stood in awkward silence for a moment as Ron gawked at the two of them and Hermione looked between the two of them calculatingly with a look Harry was not entirely fond of.

“Well,” Hermione said after the strain apparently became too much for her to bear. “We just thought we’d stop by and see if you’d like to grab lunch with us.”

“Yeah,” Harry replied immediately, like he always did when they invited him to a meal. “Oh, err,” he turned to Malfoy, “Did you want to come too or...”

“No,” Malfoy said quickly, then he cleared his throat, “No, thank you. I have some leftovers from last night and loads of paperwork to do. I will be fine here.”

“Are you sure?” Harry asked uncertainly, suddenly feeling like he was somehow bailing on the other man.

“Quite sure,” Malfoy replied as he moved toward his desk and busied himself with some files.

“Do you want me to stay-”

“For Circe’s sake, Potter. Get out of here. Go to lunch,” Malfoy snapped.

“Yeah, alright.” He glanced over at Ron and Hermione; Ron was standing there looking at him like he’d grown an extra head but Hermione just looked curiously at him. The curiosity seemed much worse.

They made their way to the cafeteria and thankfully Hermione started talking about one of the projects they were working on developing for St. Mungos. Unfortunately, this only lasted until they’d gone through the line to get their meals and sat down; then Hermione cast a muffliato and Ron immediately opened his mouth.

“What just happened?”

“Sorry?” Harry asked, feigning innocence and stabbing into his food.

“I think what Ron is trying to ask is if you and Malfoy have decided to be friends?” Hermione clarified.

“No, I mean what the bloody hell is going on,” Ron said. “Are you under an imperius curse?”

“Ron, I can throw off an imperius curse, remember?” he replied, rolling his eyes like Ron was being dramatic even though he would have said the exact same thing a week ago.

“Calm down, Ronald,” Hermione said briskly as she took a sip of her tea. “Let him speak.” Then she looked at him expectantly and waited.

“Well,” Harry said, “We’re not friends, exactly, but we don’t exactly hate each other anymore either.”

“How?” Ron asked, his brow furrowed. “This is Malfoy we are talking about.”

“Well he’s not the same as he was at school,” Harry said with a shrug as he stuffed his sandwich in his mouth hoping to avoid having to say any more about it.

“Really?” Ron asked skeptically. 

“Yeah,” Harry said through a mouthful of food. “Spending over a week in someone’s presence really forces you to get to know them a bit.”

“Huh,” Ron said, staring off into space for a long moment.

“We’re just surprised,” Hermione said quickly. “We thought it would be unbearable for you.”

“It was in the beginning,” Harry replied. “But eventually I realized I was still imagining him as the stupid prat we knew at school but he’s not that person any more than I am who I was at school.”

“But the pureblood, elitism shite he was always spouting?” Ron asked.

“Yeah, haven’t heard a single word out of his mouth about any of that," he replied honestly.

“Huh,” Ron said again before shrugging and shoving a crisp in his mouth. “Who would’ve thought it?”

“Right?” Harry replied, glad that Ron and Hermione seemed to be settling into the idea that Malfoy wasn’t awful more quickly than he had.

“Well, it’s not really surprising when you think about it,” Hermione said.

“How so?” Harry asked as Ron said, “What do you mean, not surprising?”

“Well, he sort of rebelled against Pureblood culture, didn’t he?”

“Hermione,” Harry said, “You're using the 'we all know what's going on here voice' when in fact you are the only one who knows what's going on here. Tell us what you know that we obviously don’t.”

Ron nodded in agreement.

“Well, it was all over the papers and Millie Bulstrode couldn’t stop gossiping about it at work. It was quite the scandal.”

“What was?” he asked, barely tamping down on the desire to snap in an effort to get her to talk faster. He never read the Prophet and he didn’t have any coworkers or friends who were in the same social circle, she knew all of this.

“He was supposed to marry Astoria Greengrass, you remember?” Harry didn’t but he didn’t say so. “His parents had set it up, it was supposed to help the Malfoy name, he was supposed to go into politics or something. But after a few weeks, he called the whole thing off, said it was a sham and neither he nor Astoria deserved to live a lie.”

“Wow,” Harry said.

“His parents didn’t take it well, from what I understand. His father demanded he marry some pureblood girl and start a family but he refused and his father disowned him. It was quite a public spectacle, I’m told. Draco apparently opted to shout abuses at his father on the sidewalk in Diagon alley outside of a restaurant. The direct quote, if I’m remembering correctly,” and Harry had no doubt she was, “was that ‘all of their antiquated pureblood traditions could go straight back to hell from whence they’d come.’”

“Blimey,” Ron said with a low whistle.

Harry didn’t quite know what to say. After a moment he decided on, “You couldn’t have told me this before I made a complete arse of myself and basically called him a bigoted prick who was exactly the same as he was in school?”

Hermione shrugged, “I’m sorry. I’d just assumed you’d heard. He works in the same department that you do and it truly was in all of the papers. They hounded him for weeks to get quotes from him and he always said things about how terrible the whole system was and that it was a load of codswallop. Some people thought it was just a publicity stunt to get him into good graces in the ministry, I just assumed that’s what you thought too.”

“Yeah, but his parents disowned him,” Harry said. “Even if it was a publicity stunt, that sort of consequence doesn’t seem worth it.”

Hermione nodded, “I agree, but how was I to know that you didn’t know?”

Harry shrugged, suddenly feeling like even more of a heel. “I feel like a jerk.”

“But you couldn’t have known, mate,” Ron said conciliatorily. “And it seemed like the two of you are getting along fine now so he must not be too mad at you.”

“No,” Harry agreed. “He’s been pretty kind, actually.” He snorted, “He thinks I have a deathwish and hate my job-”

Hermione and Ron gave each other one of those pointed shared looks that Harry hated. 

“Which I don’t,” he said, glaring at them. “But honestly, it’s been nice having a partner who calls me out and doesn’t treat me like I’m made of glass and always right.”

Hermione nodded but Ron said, “I mean, I hear you, mate but Malfoy? Really?”

“I know,” he said with a helpless little shrug. “He drives me a little batty but I think this might actually work.”

They moved on to a different topic of conversation, Hermione telling them more about her work. Before long, Harry found himself saying goodbye and heading back to his office and feeling just the tiniest bit nervous. 

Malfoy was sitting at his desk, filling in paperwork, when Harry came back in and he looked calm enough but Harry couldn’t help but wonder what he was thinking about. “Hey,” he said.

The other man glanced up at him, “Hi,” he said before going back to work. No other words were forthcoming but Harry couldn’t help standing there and waiting for him to say something else.

“Did you need something?” Malfoy asked.

“Are you mad?”

“Mad?” Malfoy asked. “No, why would I be mad?”

“I don’t know.”

Malfoy went back to writing again but when Harry didn’t move he dropped his quill and rubbed his hands over his face, “What, Potter?”

“What are you thinking?”

“That you’re an irritating prat.”

Huffing Harry asked, “What were you thinking before I came back in?”

“That I could barely remember the details of the case I’m writing up and I really ought to have gotten to it before now,” he said blandly.

“Malfoy,” Harry growled warningly.

“Just leave it.”

“No,” he said, stubbornly crossing his arms across his chest.

“Fine,” Malfoy exploded and now he did sound angry. “I was wondering if Granger and Weasley were going to bring you back to your senses and make you hate me again. I was wondering how much ground we were going to have to recover. I was wondering if there is any way this bloody partnership will ever work. Happy?” he spat.

“Oh,” Harry replied.

“Oh? That’s all you’ve got to say?” He threw down the paper he’d been holding and stood up. “You’re unbelievable.”

“Malfoy,” Harry said, holding out his hands trying to placate him. 

“Don’t,” Malfoy replied and Harry didn’t think that was quite fair because how could Malfoy know what he was going to say when Harry didn’t know himself? “This is not easy for me, Potter, whatever you may think. It is bloody hard living with someone who has every reason in the world to hate you, to never forgive you, and to be right for both of those things.”

“Malfoy,” Harry started again.

“I said dont.”

“Draco,” Harry said, not entirely sure why he was using Malfoy’s given name, but Malfoy froze so it was probably the right call. “Listen to me. I do not hate you. Ron and Hermione didn’t want to tell me that I was being an idiot, they just wondered how everything was going. I told them things are going well.”

“You did?” he asked disbelievingly.

“Well, yeah,” Harry replied. “Things are going well, aren’t they?”

“Well, I thought so.”

“Right, then why are you worried?”

“I’m not worried,” Malfoy sneered.

Harry raised an eyebrow.

“Because you’re unpredictable!” he burst out. “Because it is exhausting living with someone and waiting for them to remember that they have good reasons to dislike you.”

“You have good reasons to dislike me, too,” Harry replied softly.

“No, I don’t. You literally saved the world. You are so noble and good that you came to my hearing and testified on my behalf even though I did all of those horrible things.” 

“I literally cast a spell at you that could have killed you.”

“Because I was trying to crucio you,” he said. Then he added, ”I am the representation of everything you fought against.”

“You’re not,” he said firmly. “Malfoy, you were just a kid. You were right when you said you had no choice and you were right when you said it was easy for me to make the right choices. It was hard sometimes, I guess, but for every person you had pushing you to do horrible things I had someone pushing me to do good things.” Harry swallowed and took a step toward him, “I do not regret testifying at your trial, or at Narcissa’s. The war never would have been won if it weren’t for the two of you.”

“But there never would have been a war to begin with if it weren’t for people like me.”

“Do you believe those things? Do you believe in any of the things that Voldemort stood for?”

“When I was younger-”

“Right now,” Harry interrupted. “Do you believe any of those things? At this moment, do you believe even a word that that madman said?”

“Of course not.”

“Then it’s settled.”

“What is?”

Harry held out his hand, “Let’s start this all again, yeah?”

“What?”

“Hi,” he said after a deep breath. “I’m Harry Potter.”

“This is ridiculous.”

Harry just stood there, hand outstretched, waiting. He got the terrible feeling in the pit of his stomach that Malfoy wasn’t going to take his hand.

But after a moment he took Harry’s hand and shook it, “Draco,” he said. “Draco Malfoy.”

Harry kept his hand gripped tightly in his own, “We were both just kids, Draco. Stupid kids. Let’s move on.”

Malfoy nodded once.

Harry beamed at him, “Great. I look forward to working with you.”

Am I too deep in the marauders fandom? I just saw some Drarry fanart and my first thought was, "Who is James's cute blonde friend?" and "Ooh interesting scar, Prongs! What have you been up to?!"

[bearmustard]

Ok new pinned post for whatever post-Twitter life might look like.

In the tags are my fandoms- not active fandoms, just fandoms that I consider near and dear to my heart. I am likely to post content related to any of those fandoms, but I should clarify: don’t follow me if you think I’m going to post lots about one specific fandom (cough 1D cough). I won’t, unless something absolutely mind-blowingly major happens (they get back together or the bears come back- that’s the entire list). (The same goes for spn unless Sep finally finishes Game Of God and then I won’t shut up).

This blog has always been and always will be an absolute shitshow of a mixed bag of memes, shitposting, and various fandom ephemera, so if that’s what you’d like, stick around. I have been here a long time and it shows. Also, I will not tag my shit in any organised way (except for spoilers within about a fortnight of something coming out) so don’t ask me to. I’m too adhd for that shit, sorry.
