Purge

Prompt: The Forever Purge", 2021, Everardo Valerio Gout
Prompted by: The Author
Author:Anonymous
Word Count: 8,914 words
Rating:Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Alternate Universe - The Purge Fusion, Guns, Weapons, Breaking and Entering, Drinking, Foster Care, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Running Away, Torture, Implied/Referenced Homophobia, Blood and Violence, Murder, Arson, Ambiguous/Open Ending, Morally Grey Harry Potter

Notes: I want to thank my betas for their help, nicer words will be added after the fest.
Also a big thank you to the mods!
This fic is very far from canon. Harry has never heard of the magical world, never got his Hogwarts letter, and never learned how to use his magic the “traditional” way.
Enjoy this ride.

Summary: Harry had made it fifteen years through foster care before he packed up his things at age sixteen and ran.
The American dream, that’s what it was called in movies, right? Maybe he could have that too. The Purge was only once a year and usually a little price to pay.
Until the American dream turned out to be a posh Brit moving in next door just before the Purge, revealing secrets to Harry he had never dared to dream of.

“But father! It isn’t necessary. The army is the strongest it’s ever been; who would dare attack us?!”

Draco swallowed hard, his blood boiling. He couldn’t argue though, not publicly. He grit his teeth, saying, “My apologies, my Lord.”

Rush [For A Gap That Exists]

Prompt: “Rush”, 2013, Ron Howard
Prompted by: The Author
Author:Anonymous
Word Count: 42,012 words
Rating:Mature
Warnings: Sexual Content, Graphic Depictions of Injury and Recovery

Notes:Huge shoutout to S for being the most unbelievably amazing beta I’ve ever had the privilege of working with, and cheering me on the whole time I was writing this story. It is the honest-to-god truth to say that I could not have finished this without you.
Another huge shoutout to Y for working like a last-minute beta machine on this and making sure the story was perfect.
This fic is based on the real-life story of two incredible Formula One racing drivers (Niki Lauda and James Hunt - absolute icons) and their fight for the Championship Title, as immortalised in the movie ‘Rush’. Although the overarching theme of this fic is taken from the two protagonists of the movie, I’ve drawn heavily from other Formula One rivalries as well (Lewis Hamilton/Nico Rosberg, Ayrton Senna/Alain Prost) bc what can I say it’s not my fault that F1 is chock-full of legendary homoeroticrivalries.
Title taken from Ayrton Senna’s infamous overtaking quote: “If you no longer go for a gap that exists, then you are no longer a racing driver.”

Summary: There is something about racing that sets your blood on fire: the speed, the thrill, the action. The rev of the engines, thunderous as they charge down the track, the trail of sparks that fly in their wake. This is not for the faint of heart; and yet, there is a story here, one that is fragile and tender. A story of love and loss that grew amidst the most infamous rivalry in Formula One history: the story of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter.
