glass panes & evergreens

[ a wip snippet from a non-magical au in which the boys are (begrudgingly, then not-so-begrudgingly) renovating the manor, which has fallen into disrepair, for reasons. harry has called draco on christmas eve. ]

word count: ~458, unedited.

“Potter?” Draco reached blindly for his bedside alarm clock, squinting his eyes into the dim digital numbers. 11:47.

“What is it? Is everything alright?”

“Oh. Yeah, all good. I was just thinking.”

Harry’s voice was soft and sleepy over the line, static rustling occasionally as he shifted the phone at his shoulder.

Draco wondered absently at Harry’s degree of inebriation. He yawned, stifling the sound, and rolled to his side, cradling the phone carefully to his ear.

“What were you thinking?”

Harry hummed, the noise rumbling straight into Draco’s chest. “Was thinking... about the ballroom.”

Draco ran an easy hand up through his hair, resting it behind his head. “Mhm,” he prompted.

“Thought... It’d look pretty. All done up for Christmas,” Harry murmured.

Draco stilled, the soft warmth of sleepiness wrapped heavy around him, a feeling not unlike grief knifing delicately into his side. He pressed his face to the pillow.

“It did.”

Harry was quiet a moment, only the sound of his slow breaths ghosting through the phone.

“Tell me,” he said.

Draco rolled to his back, eyes tracing through the nothing of the dark. “I loved the windows,” he began.

“At Christmastime, we’d draw back the curtains. The big velvet ones? And I would always wish for snow.” He imagined the myriad glass panes, stretched floor to ceiling, glistening with the soft white of flakes falling, fluffy, and sticking.

“Every year we would have an evergreen tree brought in. From the back woods. The needles would fall all over the floor as it was carried through the parlor.” Draco could see it in his mind, the sparse green trail, smell the scent of pine.

“We’d string it in tinsel. Hang candles in the boughs.” His mother pulling him, small and quick, gently away from the lit tree, a careful chastise on her tongue. “My mother let me pick the star. Gold, glittering. She always preferred silver.”

Harry mm-hmmed. “You look good in gold,” he murmured, the words coming slow, a breathy slurry. “Warm.”

Draco’s own breath caught, something welling in his throat, prickling at his eyes.

“You should sleep,” he said eventually. “It’s late.”

“‘M not tired,” Harry insisted.

“I am,” Draco said softly.

“Oh.”

The clock down the hall chimed, ringing out low in the quiet of the night. Twelve times. Midnight.

“Harry?” he whispered.

“Mhm?” came the muffled reply.

“Happy Christmas.”

“Happy Christmas,” Harry mumbled.

“Goodnight,” Draco told him.

“G’night.”

Draco heard his breathing taper, slow, the soft sound of sleep. He flipped his phone shut quietly, returned it to his bedside table. The flat was warm, and he curled into his bed in the easy dark; it seemed though, in a hazy sort of way, bigger, emptier, than it had done before.

I'm so glad to see someone who is still hooked up on Klaus. SO I'd like to request fluff with Mogens because the lack of anything with him is so depressing. I've searched everywhere for x readers of him and not gotten very lucky. Thanks so much and have a nice day!

(ah sorry this took me a while to answer! so i decided to do Headcannons and a One Shot since you didn’t specify what you wanted so i did both. i hope that’s alright! 😅 also i understand not being able to find any klaus content)

Mogens Fluff Headcannons + One Shot

you both met when he took you over to smeerensburg on his boat and you were very nice to him becoming his friend in the process (but could also see enemies to lovers kind of thing happening too)

after getting to know each other more y’all got really close then became more than friends

will give you his jacket or a blanket (if you’re on his boat) if you’re cold (i imagine he keeps blankets on his boat just in case)

not super clingy but can be. usually depends on his mood tho

he can be overprotective of you and very loving as well (once he warms up to you a bit more ofc)

will give you hugs and kisses when you ask or sometimes will do it randomly (i imagine he would just for comfort if he’s not alright but doesn’t want to open up about it yet)

would love to lay next to you or have you on top of him when y’all go to sleep or just cuddle. makes him feel more safe 🥺

usually would wake up before you either it’s for work or he naturally does it on his days off. very few times you would wake up before him

loves to cook with you but also likes it when he comes home from work and you’re in the middle of baking. hell sit there and watch as you’re making cookies or something “Mogens? Where did some of the cookies i just made go?” Mogens: 🤭🤫😋

loves coming home to you and being able to cuddle with someone or just have someone to talk to (i can see you being the reason why he opens up more and starts to be more comfortable around others)

he is domestic af! (he shows this when he gets more comfortable with you)

would be alright with dating anyone (let’s go gæs! i see him as pansexual)

he is such a gentleman when it comes to you but he can also be a gentleman with other people as well (is genuinely a good guy from time to time)

always checking in on you when he isn’t busy with work (i thought of the beginning of the movie when he takes Jesper to smeerensburg and after he takes him to the post office he comes home to check on you 🥹)

as a date he will take you out on the boat for a private date under the stars. he would have a picnic and a bunch of blankets ready as well along with some candles (romantic af! 😩)

since you love him for him, he would love you for you and would always remind you as you do with him ♥️

loves it when you wear his clothes. “Darling? Have you seen my—“ you: standing in the mirror with his jacket on “So that’s where it went. 😏”

would just hold you on lazy days and is very lovable with you

nicknames for him: hunny, handsome, love, hunk, etc.

nicknames for you: darling, dear, love, beautiful, etc.

{note: (y/f/bf) = your favorite breakfast food. (y/f/md) = your favorite morning drink. (y/n) = your name}

It was a crisp, winter morning in Smeerensburg . The sun was slowly peeking through the curtains of the small but cozy bedroom. Mogens stirred a little bit before opening his eyes while sitting up in bed. He looked over next to him and smiled looking at your sleeping form. Leans over to give you a quick kiss on the head then getting up from the bed making sure to not wake you up in the process. He walks out of the room and towards the kitchen. A little while later you wake up to the smell of food being made. Questioning what it could be you decided to get out of bed to go see but as you were about to get up, Mogens comes walking into the room with a tray of (y/f/bf) and a cup of (y/f/md). “Oh! Hey there sleepy head! How did you sleep?”, he said once he made eye contact with you. “Heyyyy. I slept alright. How about you? How long have you been up for?”, you replied sitting up giving him a sleepy smile. He chuckled at you setting the tray on the table next to your side of the bed then going back to his side to climb back into bed with you. “Eh not too bad. Also I’ve only been up for a little while.” You grabbed your tray of food and started eating it while Mogens takes a sip of his coffee looking at you when you hum happily at what you were eating. “Mmm! This is really good you made this??” He smiles and nods at you. “Hunny, this is really good!” “Why thank you, my dear. Glad you appreciate my cooking like how I appreciate yours.” He kisses your cheek while you blush a little. “Did you make yourself something as well?” Mogens nods and sips his coffee again. Smiling at knowing he ate, you continued to eat yourself. Both of you were taking in the peace and quiet of the morning. Taking in breaths of the fresh, morning air while enjoying each others company in silence. Once you finished your food, you set the tray down scooting closer to Mogens before wrapping your arms around his neck then kissing him on the cheek as a thank you for making you breakfast. He laughs lightly at your actions while wrapping his arms around your waist. “Is this your way of thanking me for making you breakfast in bed?” You nodded kissing him again. “How did I get so lucky finding an amazing person like you, Mogens my love?” “I should be saying the same thing about you, my dear (y/n).” You have him a loving smile before nuzzling into his chest. He gave you a kiss on the head then laid his head on top of yours. You both stayed like that for a little while before having to actually get out of bed and have to get started on what you both had to do that day.

thank you for the request! again sorry it took me some time to answer! I hope you like it! ☺️🫂
