Achievement

“It’s not great,” he hears himself say, hiding behind his fingers. Takes half a deep breath, chokes on the rest of it. “I didn’t have enough time. It’s just…”

“Harry.” He doesn’t look up. “Harry.” Then, gently, “Darling.”

He’s always been helpless when it comes to this. Soft. Raising his glance an inch, then another, until his hands drop almost by themselves. Draco is standing there, in the jumper he’d borrowed, in those boots, in that smile. The one that makes Harry’s chest go all big, all warm. Hand outstretched, an offering.

Harry takes it without even thinking. Hears this sound wrenching out of him, something pitiful and small, something awful. Draco reacts instinctively, immediately, wrapping around him.

“Do you even know,” he says. Voice a little nasally, a little too high. “Do you have any idea how much…”

Harry buries his face in Draco’s neck, sheltered by his hair, soft and faintly lemony. He always brings his own shampoo, which Harry finds infuriatingly endearing. Loves that he gets to smell it after he leaves. Loves that he gets to make the connections: lemon zest and lemonade and sour candy taste like this, like hands running through his hair. Like…

He sniffles, tries to gather himself. Everything feels brand open, brand new, scary and marvellous. He imagined this moment a hundred times, always so different: in his head Harry would be strong, and confident, and the present he worked so hard on would be beautiful, and complete. It’s Christmas Eve, and this is all he’s got. Snot, and tears, and this.

“Darling,” gentle fingers coax his chin up. A hesitant smile grows on Draco’s lips, something peculiar and sweet.

“Sorry,” Harry mumbles. Wipes his face on the back of his hand. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to—shit, it’s all wet now.”

He didn’t even wrap it yet. Was startled out of breath when Draco waltzed in, mincing the words to Jingle Bells something awful, in the jumper he’s borrowed, Harry’s favourite, and the boots that make him look ten feet tall, and—and he forgot to hide it behind his back, forgot to blink. Eyes stinging, chest tight. And Draco’s seen, and now it’s—ruined.  

He bought the yarn especially for this. Molly helped him pick. She’s the one who suggested, when she saw how shaky his hands always got. The one who taught him, slowly, how to untangle a mess he’s made, how to start again. And then Draco, and this, lemony shampoo and long nights on the rug and cold air in a chest that feels almost too full, and—the lump in his throat returns, makes him choke.

“I have a hair blower,” Draco says seriously, then squints when a desperate chuckle rips out of Harry’s chest. “What? Is that not—shut up, doesn’t matter. I’ll blow it dry in seconds. That’s not what’s… you know that’s not important, right?”

Harry shrugs. It’s a little important, he thinks. Doesn’t know how to say it, how to explain. It’s Christmas Eve; they’re supposed to leave in ten minutes, drinks at Ron’s. Draco picks the wet crochet out of Harry’s hand, holds it so carefully. “I’ll have it dried. Do you want to grab some wrapping paper?”

“But,” Harry frowns, “but you’ve already seen it.”

“So?” he rolls his eyes, kisses the tip of Harry’s nose. “Go on, get the paper. Is that what you’re wearing to—never mind, sorry, sorry. But won’t you get cold? Let me grab a hoodie. Because if you think you’re ever getting this jumper back…”

He gasps when Harry takes him by the elbows, guides him close. In his hands the little dragon in yellows and golds, Harry’s miniature creation that took him an unreasonable amount of time. That he had to learn, slowly, how not to give up on.

“I don’t want it back,” he says. His voice is gruff. “There’s a… there’s another part to this present. But you’ll have to wait till tomorrow.”

“Will I.” His eyes glimmer. Or maybe it’s the lights from the tree, orange, red, green, blue. Yellow, like lemons. Like love.

His gift might not be entirely ready, but it does feel sort of complete.

A little end-of-the-year present for my accomplished, wonderful, dear @callmegri. The gifts you grant us with your words and your art always give me this sort of feeling: full, bright and warm. I admire you, and love you with my entire heart.

During late evening and early morning, I've been working on ... yet more In Stars and Time fanart. This time with lyrics from Inertia by AJR because I keep running into it around the internet and was like ... you know what? Siffrin.

Now I need to find the motivation to do stuff like this for my own characters

Zionists want you to conflate Judaism and Zionism. Zionists want you to believe that Judaism cannot exist without Zionism and that all Jews are Zionists. Zionism would have Jews believe that a Jewish state is the only way that they can be safe from antisemitism and will point to any instance of antisemitism as proof that Zionism is the solution- so Zionism wants gentiles to be antisemitic in their support of Palestine. They want you to conflate all Jews with Zionism and the state of Israel, and they want you to treat all Jews regardless of political affiliation as the face of Israel. Antizionist Jews exist, and incidences of antisemitism ostensibly acting against Zionism will not help dismantle the forces propping Zionism up.

Don't do their work for them.
