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.
Draco, star Seeker for Puddlemere United, did not plan on getting pregnant with Harry Potter’s baby in a one-night stand (or, as Harry referred to it the morning after — “a mistake”). But Draco’s pregnancy affects more than just his body and his relationship with Harry, it also touches the people in their lives. These are their perspectives.

Author’s Note: Ladderofyears—Emma, I read “A Star Danced” all in one go when it first came out. I smiled, I cried (a lot), and fell in love with your words and your universe. It is one of my favorite stories I’ve read this year, and I felt beyond honored (and, honestly more than a little intimidated) to be given a chance to remix your story! I had so many ideas and drafts because it was honestly hard to remix perfection, but I hope you enjoy the new perspectives of the scenes you crafted with such care! Thanks to the Mods for hosting, many, many people on discord for sprinting with me, and, of course, B, my lovely and wonderful beta.

Mod Note: While we would always encourage reading the fic which inspired a remix, you shouldn’t feel you have to do so. It’s OK to just dive straight into the remix!
I wrote a thing! And I can now tell the world I wrote the thing! (AKA here’s my Drarry remix where Harry basically gets 0 screen time! I kid, but it really IS outsider POV!)
I also highly recommend you make some tea, snuggle under a blanket and read the original!
@anaxandria-writes thank you so much for writing this wonderful, sweet and brilliant fic. It made me tremendously happy and I have read it about a dozen times since. I feel honoured at the time and the care you gave me ❤❤
