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.
Drarry I Explicit I 35k I Hogwarts professors, Veela Draco (but he doesn’t know), slow burn, oblivious Draco, pining, smutty smut, Draco with long hair, touch-starved Harry and Muggle games.
Summary: Green eyes greet Draco when he arrives at the school gates, ready to start his new job as a Hogwarts professor after spending ten years in France. “Hey,” Potter says, waving at him as he approaches. “We weren’t expecting you until the start of term.” Draco is speechless. What the fuck is Potter doing at Hogwarts?
A million shiny thank yous to the absolutely wonderful @swymsuyt who was incredibly kind and gave me permission to remix this stunning Veela Draco artpiece.
Huge thanks to my wonderful betas @wheezykatand@purplehotmess for being so supporting and generally fantastic human beings.
None of my fics would probably see the light of day without the support of that wonderful person that is @avenueofesc, thanks Em and sorry for the usual “oops, this is longer than expected, but can you please still check it? ”
And finally, thank you @snowgalland@veelawings for running this fest and for being so kind to offer me an extended deadline when things got out of hand and the fic grew like a mushroom.
