Looking for something to read this weekend?

With the new year’s weekend coming up, we thought we’d share a compilation of fest fics written by the collab’s authors this year. Happy reading!

Listed by fest. Drarry first; other pairings below.

✨ 25 Days of Draco and Harry 2021

Christmas Memoriesby@janieohio (E, 31,718)

It’s Draco’s first Christmas living with Harry, and okay, maybe it’s a little bit “extra”, but he’s Draco sodding Malfoy and if he wants to give Harry the best Christmas ever, it’s his right as his boyfriend. So strap on your Santa hat and hang on tight, because this is going to be a bumpy, and slightly ridiculous, sleigh ride.

✨ HP Animagus Fest 2021

Harry Potter and the Mysterious Snowy Owl Affairby@ladderofyears (T, 8,681)

Harry Potter is the newly promoted Head Officer for the Department of Magical Creature Regulation, and he is passionate about his work protecting vulnerable animals who can’t advocate for themselves. An added benefit of the job is the close relationship that he had developed with his colleague, Wizengamot prosecution barrister Draco Malfoy. Harry’s life is happy and he feels satisfied with his place in the world.
Abruptly, Harry’s happy existence is thrown into disarray when a small snowy owl starts dropping tip-offs about magical creature crimes to Grimmauld Place.
Harry isn’t sure what to think. Is his benefactor a friend or foe? Why are they making such stringent efforts to conceal their identity? Draco doesn’t seem concerned, but Harry can’t help but feel intrigued by the mystery. Who is the wizard behind the owl?

✨ Harry/Draco Big Bang 2021

The Lost Art of Keeping Secretsby@ladderofyears​ with @iero0​ (E, 287,344)

Hogwarts is the very last place that Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy want to return to after the war. The Castle feels claustrophobic and stifling. Both feel trapped within its walls.
Harry is traumatised by the war, by his sudden breakup from Ginny, and by the knowledge that his friends all know what they want to do with their life.
Meanwhile Draco is reeling. He has narrowly escaped an Azkaban prison sentence and is struggling under the strict rules of his probation. He doesn’t know where his mother is, and finds himself a pariah among the other students.
The last thing that either student wants is mandatory Mind Healing. What has happened to them feels so big and devastating, that writing to a stranger feels farcical.
Even so, they are not given a choice.
Harry and Draco are both given a shared magical diary, and soon they begin writing letters to an anonymous fellow student.
Their letters, terse at first, grow longer as the days pass. Before long, each wizard confesses their secrets and their fantasies, their wishes and their dreams.
What will happen when their true identities are exposed? Will their vulnerable new relationship be destroyed before it has even begun?

✨ H/D Cluefest 2021

[podfic] Potteroticaby@evaeleanor (E, 20 mins.)
A podfic version of Potterotica by Elle_Grey (@diligent-thunder)

The first story, and you could barely call it that, had appeared in the communal bathroom overnight. It was stuck to the mirror, one above each sink, like it was expected people might casually read it while brushing their teeth.
Except, there was nothing casual about reading explicit erotica in a communal bathroom while shoving a lubricated brush in and out of your mouth.
Blaise had been the first to find it, or rather, to gleefully admit that he had. He’d burst into the common room in his pants to declare, ‘There’s fucking porn in the bathroom!’
Someone’s writing smut and signing it with Harry’s name. Hermione isn’t buying it, and she has a plan to expose the true author. She also has her hand in her pants in a wardrobe.

Two Hearts Dividedby@ladderofyearswith@iero0 (T, 18,614)

Draco Malfoy, the celebrated Ghost Clearance Expert, is in Germany, trying to solve the tricky little matter of a stubborn ghost called Clara von Kellern. Exasperated after trying every spell he knows, Draco sends an owl to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in London, requesting their urgent help.
Little does Draco know that the clerk who willingly grasps his letter is Harry Potter.
Injured in action, Harry enjoys a quiet, deskbound existence and sees Draco’s letters as a bit of excitement to brighten up his dull days. Harry has no idea that investigating Clara’s life, and that of her beau (and potential murderer) Ernst Wernet will lead to the beginnings of a love affair all of his own.

✨ HD Domesticity Fest

Harry and Draco’s Little Talkby@ladderofyears (T, 5,388)

Harry is holed up at work, avoiding the moment that he has to leave. His boyfriend, Draco Malfoy, had been argumentative and moody for weeks and now he wants to have a ‘little talk’ over dinner. Does this mean the end of their love affair or has Harry got the wrong end of the broomstick?

Unspoken Affectionby@janieohio (M, 2,616)

“Sometimes, when you smile, I swear I hear music, then I realise it’s just the beat of my heart in my ears…Come back so I can dance.”
Harry finds a stack of post-its, and what starts as simply leaving Draco a reminder with a bit of romance turns into a lifetime of memories.

✨ H/D Erised 2021

Anon until 7 January 2022.

✨ HP Fluff Fest - 2021

Two Beneath The Blueby@drarrymadhatterstuff (T, 5,526)

Harry and Draco come back for the eighth year, each with a new pet. Their pets keep scampering off to meet up, and can’t seem to get enough of each other. Will their owners take a hint and follow suit?
Or
5 times Draco is furious at Harry’s pet and one time where Draco relaxes a bit and lets it go.

✨ Lights Camera Drarry! 2021

(This Will Be) An Everlasting Loveby@drarrelie&@janieohio (T, 45,138)
Prompt: While You Were Sleeping.

Life doesn’t always turn out the way we plan. That’s what Draco’s mother always used to tell him, but Merlin, who could have predicted how right she would be?
A story about feisty dragons, loneliness, family, and friends — and finding love in places you least expect.
A Drarry cover of the romantic comedy While You Were Sleeping.
Podficced by @melcarrianna

✨ HD Mpreg 2021

A Star Dancedby@ladderofyears (E, 65,514)

Draco Malfoy has the world as his feet. He’s twenty-three, first pick Seeker for Puddlemere United, has brilliant friends and a life he adores.
The very last thing Draco wants is an unplanned pregnancy, especially one where the other father just so happens to be Harry Potter.
Life, however, has other plans for him.

Just Give Me A Reasonby@drarrymadhatterstuff (N/A, 19,012)

When Harry and Draco meet in a club, they decide to indulge in a one night stand. However, when Draco realises he’s pregnant with Harry’s baby, he doesn’t take it very well. Narcissa takes it upon herself to contact Harry and try to save Draco from self-destruction.

✨ Harry/Draco Owlpost 2021

Anon until 9 January 2022.

✨ Pod_Together 2021

Pieces of You (Story with Podfic) by @janieohio with @phenomenalasterisk (T, 12,873)

Harry and Draco have moved in together, but Harry is hiding the truth of his childhood from Draco. Draco struggles to understand until a phone call from Harry’s estranged cousin changes everything.

✨ H/D Remix 2021

both that morning equally layby@janieohio (T, 4,340)
Remix of  Auror Conley on the Caseby@frenchmarshmalloww

Head Auror Potter takes every case seriously, but some cases are personal. When Scorpius Malfoy goes missing, Harry can’t help but be involved, but he’ll need to move beyond past regrets and embrace his present.

Little Starby@ladderofyears​ (M, 39,103)
Remix of Be My Anchor by@maraudersaffair​

Ever since the end of the war Draco Malfoy has been scratching a living as a sex worker. He lives on the margins of society in squalid rooms and doesn’t imagine that his life will ever change. Then, after a couple of years, Draco becomes pregnant by an unknown client. Despite the Healers at St Mungo’s treating him with prejudice and contempt, Draco is determined to keep his baby. In his desperation, Draco approaches the wrong person and the result is disastrous. Draco is beaten up and left for dead in an alleyway. As Draco hovers between life and death, Harry Potter discovers his bruised and battered body.
The Saviour doesn’t only save Draco’s life. He takes Draco back to Grimmauld Place and helps him to recover.

✨ There Was Only One Bed: The Fest (Hermione’s Nook)

Cold Hands, Warm Heartby@janieohio (E, 5,953)

Draco should probably be freaking out. He’s stranded in a frozen wilderness with no wand, no supplies, and no way home. But he isn’t freaking out, and it’s totally NOT because he has his Auror partner with him. Not even a little bit. Or maybe a little bit. But probably not. Now, if only that little cabin they found had more than one bed.

✨ H/D Wireless 2021

I’ll Try to Keep the Walls From Falling Downby@drarrelie (M, 14,960)
Prompt: “It’s OK” by Tracy Chapman.

It’s OK. Love is only meant for some; Harry knows that. Besides, he wouldn’t want to risk this new, amazing friendship he has going on with Draco for anything in the world.
Keeping his walls from falling down is the least he can do.

Into the Unknownby@drarrelie (G, 4,558)
Prompt: “Into the Unknown” (from Frozen II) by Idina Menzel & AURORA.

It’s been echoing within him for months, like an annoying song that gets stuck in your head and refuses to let go. A nagging feeling in his core, telling him to say something, to do something, to go somewhere.
Last night it finally happened. He did it. And it felt good; right. “I can’t be sure.” Four words, easy as that. It had been almost impossible to smother the sudden burst of joy rushing through him as that deep-seated urge rejoiced his unexpected act of rebellion.
You’d think the Dark Lord’s punishment would’ve taken the exhilaration out of him, but no. Here he is, countless Crucios later, beaten and bruised, and never has the voice sounded this clear.
He’s said something. He’s done something. And now he just has to go somewhere.
He has no idea where, but he’s certain it will come to him. All he has to do is get out of here, then trust magic to do the rest.

Learn to Flyby@janieohio (T, 10,994)
Prompt: “Fuck You” by Lily Allen.

Harry’s suffocating under all the expectations of the wizarding world, but he’s fascinated at Malfoy’s sudden ability to flaunt his true self to whoever cares to watch. And Harry? He might like to do something more than watch if he can ever get up the nerve.

Prologueby@aedwritesfic (T, 4,565)
Prompt: “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off” by Ella Eyre.

Ten years after the war, Harry stumbles across Malfoy in a Muggle club. What could have been an awkward encounter might just be a new beginning.

Requiemby@evaeleanor (T, 1,893)
Prompt: “Requiem” by Michael Patrick Kelly.

Requiem — A song of mourning composed or performed as a memorial to a dead person.

'Til Your World Burnsby@ladderofyearswith@iero0​ (E, 25,377)
Prompt: “'Til It Happens To You” by Lady Gaga.

Draco Malfoy is raped and watches as his world falls apart. Harry Potter is the quiet, unassuming wizard that finally listens to him.
“I’m pregnant,” Draco repeated, bitterness evident from his tone. “Five months in, so there’s not much you can do to help me, Harry. Best fuck off now. Go and help somebody else. It’s too late for me. My life is already ruined.”
The last word seemed to spark something in Harry. “Your life isn’t ruined,” he answered. “I don’t believe that, Draco. I don’t believe that for a single moment.” He paused, taking a moment before he continued speaking. “I’m sorry that I didn’t reply immediately. I wasn’t judging you. Please don’t think I was. I care about you. Anything I can do to help, I will.”

Take On Me (Dramionarry)by@janieohio (E, 8,644)

It’s nearly a decade after the war, plenty of time for the world to have moved on and Draco to have become friends with Harry and Hermione. But Draco wants to be more than friends, and it only takes a couple of Firewhisky-inspired dances and wine-laced kisses to find out that he’s not the only one ready to take their friendships to the next level.

We’re happy to finally be able to present the additional, previously anonymous works to this compilation of fest fics — making it complete with, in total, 36 fics, 7 works of art, and 3 podfics.

✨ H/D Erised 2021

We Keep This Love In A Photographby@ladderofyears (E, 46,408)

Find your happy ending. The whole idea was ludicrous. His life consisted of loneliness, poverty and Master Potioneer Phillips’s petty tyrannies. Draco was grateful he wasn’t readying himself for prison, but the next fourteen years would be a long sentence nevertheless.
When Draco is sentenced to a probation term of fourteen years, his future looks grim. Not only does he have to surrender his passport, but he is forbidden from having any contact with his beloved Mum. He lives in scruffy rooms on Knockturn Alley, works long hours as an Apothecary Apprentice and doesn’t feel like he has much of a future.
Everything changes on the third of December, 1999. That evening Harry Potter sits beside Draco in the Thestral Tavern, returns his wand and asks to take his photograph with a Muggle Polaroid camera.

This fic takes place over the course of one snowy Hogsmeade afternoon, when a strong gust of wind steals Draco’s scarf.

“I’m pregnant,” Draco repeated, bitterness evident from his tone. “Five months in, so there’s not much you can do to help me, Harry. Best fuck off now. Go and help somebody else. It’s too late for me. My life is already ruined.”
The last word seemed to spark something in Harry. “Your life isn’t ruined,” he answered. “I don’t believe that, Draco. I don’t believe that for a single moment.” He paused, taking a moment before he continued speaking. “I’m sorry that I didn’t reply immediately. I wasn’t judging you. Please don’t think I was. I care about you. Anything I can do to help, I will.”

Take On Me (Dramionarry)by@janieohio (E, 8,644)

It’s nearly a decade after the war, plenty of time for the world to have moved on and Draco to have become friends with Harry and Hermione. But Draco wants to be more than friends, and it only takes a couple of Firewhisky-inspired dances and wine-laced kisses to find out that he’s not the only one ready to take their friendships to the next level.

Who doesn’t love a good holiday fic to get into the right mood for the festive season? We certainly do.

With the holidays drawing closer, we thought we’d share a compilation of Christmassy fics written by the collab’s authors.

Of Mistletoe and Malfoyby@jessica-doom (T, 1,370)

“I don’t have a scheme!”
Hermione ignored his protest, too busy apparently consulting with the Slytherins by way of cryptic eye contact. Daphne lifted one too-skinny eyebrow. Theo huffed a disbelieving noise which felt far more insulting than any actual insult could have. And Blaise… Well, Blaise was still actually trying to cram despite the distraction of the mystery mistletoe.

Photographic Evidenceby@janieohio (G, 1,536)

It’s Christmas, and Harry and Draco are newly engaged. But even now, Harry likes to snoop. When he finds some old pictures in Draco’s childhood bedroom, old vows of secrecy are endangered and some relationships will never be the same.

Bill | Comfort & Joyby@jessica-doom (M, 5,461)

In a way it never had before, Christmas suddenly felt so entirely domestic to Draco. This likely was in direct result of the floral apron tied around his waist and the scents of laborious cooking and spice-scented candles in the air. But the feeling went even deeper than those surface signs. It was an intrinsic feeling he had of warmth and wholeness, so new and unlike anything else.
A feeling which was very nearly ruined when Harry brought an unexpected guest to Christmas Eve dinner.

Christmas Memoriesby@janieohio (E, ~30K, WIP)

It’s Draco’s first Christmas living with Harry, and okay, maybe it’s a little bit “extra”, but he’s Draco sodding Malfoy and if he wants to give Harry the best Christmas ever, it’s his right as his boyfriend. So strap on your Santa hat and hang on tight, because this is going to be a bumpy and, slightly ridiculous, sleigh ride.
One chapter posted each day for 25 days. Set in the That’s Life Together universe but can be read alone.

Cold Hands, Warm Heartby@janieohio (E, 5,953)

Draco should probably be freaking out. He’s stranded in a frozen wilderness with no wand, no supplies, and no way home. But he isn’t freaking out, and it’s totally NOT because he has his Auror partner with him. Not even a little bit. Or maybe a little bit. But probably not. Now, if only that little cabin they found had more than one bed.

Fred | He Lives in Youby@drarrelie (G, 6,931)

So, when he finally finds some peace and quiet in Andromeda’s cottage, he’s not going to give it up easily. Not even if it means he’s going to have to live under the same roof as that annoying blond git. Now, if only he didn’t have to look so bloody gorgeous it might have been a little easier.

Just an average December morning in the Potter-Malfoy house. Expect spilled cereal, list making and just a few lustful thoughts.

Better Late than Never(Scorbus)by@ladderofyears​ (T, 1,441)

Albus Severus Potter had never felt quite so humiliated in his life. He could no longer deny the truth. He had been stood up for a date. Scorpius Malfoy was supposed to have been here twenty-five minutes ago, which either made him very, very late indeed or meant he was not coming…
