Drarry mini bang 2024

Here are some of my favorite fics from @drarry-mini-bang 2024. Listed in alphabetical order.

Hits Different by Storybelle [45k]

Nearly five years on from the battle of Hogwarts, Harry and Draco both fly for the same minor league quidditch team and somehow have become good friends. On the back of a win that could mean big things for them the team goes out for celebratory drinks. Draco admits he once had a crush on Harry. It was a while ago. He got over it. This shouldn’t drive Harry absolutely insane. It’s also, without a doubt, going to.

Hothouse Flowers and Hot Hot Showers by @azalealarae [101k]

The eighth-year Muggle Studies class is spending five weeks at an American Muggle university. Harry’s assigned to room with Draco. And to make things, well, harder, there’s an inconvenient side effect to not using magic for a prolonged period of time ...

Thorns by shushu_yaoi_lj / @orange-peony [68k]

Harry looks at his reflection in the mirror and starts his morning routine by putting a Glamour on. After a moment, it’s not Harry Potter who stares back at him, but Gustav Meris, renowned magical portrait artist. Too bad Draco Malfoy has returned to England after ten years to ask for his portrait to be painted.

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

Drarry Mini Bang - Week 3 round-up

No More Presents (E, 57k) by 🖊️ @annanother-thing 🎨 @okay-sky

Summary: Draco thinks it's cute that Harry insists on bringing him sex toys like an oversized cat bringing home birds. Unfortuantely, Harry's tendency to buy sex toys when he is in the past is... problematic, and when he decides to "borrow" them? Well, that's just asking for chaos.

Heavy Hearted (M, 30k) by 🖊️ @toxik-angel 🎨 @sharperthan

Summary: Draco comes out of Azkaban different, Harry can say with certainty.

Because Old-Draco wouldn't have taken a blast to the spine for Harry.

[makeitp1nk]

Draco felt as if he were on the dais at work, right at the point when he’d put together just enough pieces for the disparate materials he’d started with to start looking like whatever he was meant to be building. The process of building something lovely had begun, despite the less-than-desirable materials. He’d seen what was to come and the foundation was coming together beautifully if the sleeping man in his arms was any indication. Against all odds, he was building a happy and rewarding life.

IKEA employee and Seer, Draco Malfoy

Directionless Hogwarts drop-out, Harry Potter

The happiest ending ✨

I pulled an all-nighter polishing this fic, this part specifically. I hope you like it.

Summary: 

Can one summer really change everything?

All of his life, Harry Potter's world has been small, boring...and safe. He surfs every morning, goes to his job at the little surf shop in town, and spends most evenings with his uncles. It's fine--it might even be enough, but Harry can't stop dreaming about what else might be out there waiting for him.

Draco Malfoy's world is anything but small and boring, and it's definitely not safe. The shape of his life was determined before he was born. He'd been able to ignore it for a long time, but as the future barrels towards him and old wounds are re-opened he has to decide if he's going to resign himself to the inevitable, or leap into the unknown.

Drarry Mini Bang - Week 1 round-up

On Our Side (M, 46k) by 🖊️ PhantomGrimalkin 🎨@sweatersinthesummer

Summary: The war is over, and Harry is trying not to be obsessed with Draco Malfoy. Which would be easier if Andromeda’s desire to reunite her family didn't result in Harry and the Malfoys being invited to the same events. After a few months without insults or fights, Harry recognizes his attraction and figures out how to ask Draco on a date. Their relationship is surprisingly easy, unfortunately Harry’s life is still complicated. They're stuck navigating past traumas, the press, Black family drama, a child that no one knows exists, and a quirk of wizard biology that was left out of his sex education.

like a wheel spoke (T, 34k) by 🖊️ justdistress (ao3: harDeehar)🎨 @stazvlt

Summary: When Andromeda is hospitalized and three-year-old Teddy's temporary fate is left in their hands, Harry realizes he and Draco are not as incompatible as he thought. The exact opposite, actually. Somehow, this makes everything worse before it gets better.

Fake Happy (T, 10k) by by 🖊️@a-sentimental-man 🎨 @anzukero

Summary: Happy birthday, Harry," Draco told him, his voice soft and fond. Harry blinked, taken aback for a moment because⁠—because Draco never sounded like this, apart from a few moments where Harry could swear he dreamt it. If he thought Draco was handsome before, he was breathtaking now, gaze soft on him. "Didn't think I would forget, did you?" Harry's just broken up with Ginny⁠—if months ago could be considered "just"⁠—trying to get through his job while hating every minute of it. The only highlight of his job is Draco Malfoy. That is, until he wakes up on his 21st birthday with a small dragon tattoo on his wrist, the unmistakable mark of his soulmate.

Thorns (E, 68k) by 🖊️@orange-peony 🎨@itsphantasmagoria and @pocketlessdruid

Summary: Harry looks at his reflection in the mirror and starts his morning routine by putting a Glamour on. After a moment, it’s not Harry Potter who stares back at him, but Gustav Meris, renowned magical portrait artist. Too bad Draco Malfoy has returned to England after ten years to ask for his portrait to be painted. 

The Haunting of Hogwarts (M, 84k) by 🖊️@briamarie38 🎨@navi1088 and @regretfulcorrine 

Summary: Twelve years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter, barely clinging to his reasons for being an Auror, is asked by cursebreaker Draco Malfoy, his best friend and not-so-secret crush for the last decade, to help investigate a developing case at Hogwarts. Animals are showing up dead and the ghosts are acting weird. After some investigation, it seems it was all a bit alarmist until the next full moon and they've got a victim drained of blood and essence on their hands. Before they know it, they're knee-deep in dark magic, and Harry is in a race against time to find the culprit before Draco is taken as collateral. Featuring lots of banter, an irresponsible level of cuddles, and drarry shippers Ron and Hermione.
