Title:Lay Back Rating:NC-17 Summary:Seeing Ron like this, how was Draco to stop himself?
FIC
Title: Healer-Patient Privilege Rating: PG-13 Summary: Never accept candy from Weasleys. Words to live by. Had Draco followed those wise words he wouldn’t be sitting in the waiting room of St Mungo’s, hugging a sick bucket right now. To add insult to injury, Healer Ron Weasley is on duty. Or: Draco’s friends are all terrible and he’d rather die than join in on their collective Gryffindor fascination. Honestly.
Title: Strike a Pose Rating: NC-17 Summary: Struggling financially in the midst of his costly divorce, Ron runs into a muggle woman at a pub who offers to pay him generously if he poses nude for her pornographic website. Ron accepts on the condition of anonymity, only to find out when he arrives for the shoot that the photographer is none other than Draco Malfoy, who has changed since his Hogwarts days in ways that Ron never could have expected.
Title: Study in the Key of Weasley Rating: R Summary: Draco is over 30 and pretty much over participating in the world. First enters Scorpius, a stray Jack Russell terrier who won’t leave, and then Ron Weasley, after Millicent Bulstrode screens those who respond to Draco’s handyman ad in The Prophet. Can Draco still be himself if he finds comfort in both of these unexpected companions?
Title: You’re my teddy bear Rating: PG-13 Summary: Ron comes home from work devastated. Good thing Draco is there to comfort him.
Title:A Bit of House Unity Rating:PG-13 Summary:Draco absolutely hates the fact that Ron is dating a certain Hufflepuff. He’s determined to convince the redhead that he’d be better off with someone else. Specifically… Him.
Title:Another Shot Rating:NC-17 Summary:Ron Weasley plays for the Chudley Cannons and takes part in a scantily clad charity photo shoot. What Ron didn’t know though when he agreed to take part in the event: Draco Malfoy takes the shots. And that really wouldn’t be much of a problem if it isn’t for the unfortunate fact that Ron and Draco had a one-night-stand at a wedding just a few weeks prior.
Title:Don’t fall Rating:PG-13 Summary:Also be careful about DIY curse breaking. It all starts going downhill once you turn 28, apparently.
Title:the verge of losing you Rating:PG-13 Summary:He has an hour left in his shift and Draco is finally enjoying some peace and quiet in the break room. He’s been at St. Mungos’ for eleven hours straight, hasn’t seen his husband in longer. He’s cranky, alright? He’s tired and his feet hurt deep enough that even spells don’t help. Now that he has the chance, even though he can leave in an hour, Draco is going to take it and lay down. Just his luck, however, that one of the Trainees knocks on the door and sticks her head in not even ten minutes later.
Title:An Unexpected Home Rating:PG-13 Summary:When Draco feels like his world is crumbling down, he turns to the one person he knows he can count on.
Title:revelations soft and bright Rating:NC-17 Summary:The war turned everything on its head, assigned new roles and made adults out of the impetuous youth. There is no right way to deal with that. Draco, though, Draco is doing it wrong. That’s okay—Ron is going to help him. They have all suffered enough.
Title:Well, I’ll Be Damned Rating:G Summary:You’ve got to be kidding me, Ron thought as he stared at the person behind the till, grey eyes staring back at him. He blinked once, twice, but the image didn’t change. There behind the counter was undoubtedly Draco Malfoy. TheDraco Malfoy. He would recognize that ferret anywhere. Ron frowned. He should have known. Waking up early on a day off was never a good thing.
We’ve come to the end of our second and final week of Ron/Draco Fest 2022! Thank you so much for everyone who participated - and to everyone who’s been following along with posting, we appreciate you more than you know!
Our Anonymous Masterlist will be coming on Friday March 18, and this round will conclude with the Masterlist Author/Artist Reveals posting on Monday March 21.

The fact that it did wrap up nicely instead of spiralling into a mess of loose thread and unfinished sentences is due to several people. Thank you Lou, and your willingness to sacrifice hockey to my ignorance. Looking back, I’m not sure how I would have written that scene without you. Thank you lumosatnight for the lightning-fast beta and feedback. And finally a huge thank you fangqueen, for organising the fest to begin with and for being very patient with me.

We’ve come to the end of another amazing round of Ron/Draco Fest! I once again want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who made this fest possible. It’s been a rough one this past year with everything that’s been going on in the world, and then we had to move the dates and everything - all of you who stuck with me on this, know that I appreciate you more than I could ever say.
Now all of our lovely participants can thank people for their comments, show off (rightly) anywhere they social, and repost their works wherever they like!
Here’s our final Anonymous Masterlist for Ron/Draco Fest 2021! Look at all those fantastic works!
Reveals will be going up this coming Thursday, April 29. Thank you so much to everyone who has shown their support thus far - we cannot appreciate you enough! <3
Title: Draco’s New Pet Rating: PG-13 Summary: Ron is not pleased with Draco’s idea of a new pet.
Title: Ron’s Revenge Rating: PG-13 Summary: It took three months, but Ron finally gets his revenge!
Title: Standing in the Rain Rating: PG-13 Summary: Ron had heard the rumours about Draco moving to France a few years after the war, and he didn’t think he’d ever see him again. But after an awkward run-in with a beautiful blonde, it’s clear that Malfoy is back. Diane Malfoy, that is. Now both older - no longer the people they had once been - they start spending time together. Soon enough Ron can feel himself starting to fall for the blonde beauty. But with what they have been through together, do they really stand a chance?
Title: From the Inside Rating: NC-17 Summary: A brief tale of how one’s anger and another’s regrets are changed to atonement and redemption in the most unsuspected of ways, only to end with love and acceptance.
Title: Three’s a Charm Rating: NC-17 Summary: Ron’s been asking for a third, Draco invites Blaise. What’s a poor Gryffindor to do with two Slytherins in the bedroom?
Title: Collateral Damage Rating: NC-17 Summary: What better means of revenge than seducing your enemy’s boyfriend? Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Title: Always By His Side Rating: PG-13 Summary: Ron took a fall during a Quidditch match, and like always, Draco’s there to put him back together.
Title: (Stolen Moments That We Steal) As the Curtain Falls Rating: R Summary: They met once a month. They’d been doing it for years, taking turns to pick a time and a place. Always somewhere different, preferably with a big enough crowd that their presence would go unnoticed. Just two more faces in a crowd of anonymous people. Or, a chance encounter in a theatre leads to a decade-long affair between Ron and Draco.
Title: Almost Maybes Rating: PG-13 Summary: A one night stand ends in a shocking surprise.
Title: A Weasel in the Hamptons Rating: NC-17 Summary: When Ron heads to the Hamptons for Hermione’s engagement celebration, it’s been 10 years since he’s seen his friends. At 38, he’s content to travel the world, unfettered and carefree, allowing his wanderlust to guide him from one photojournalism assignment to the next. He arrives at Blaise’s posh beach estate ready to catch up with old friends, kick back poolside with a beer, and have some fun in the sun. What could possibly disrupt his weekend? Enter Draco Malfoy—the gorgeous prat who handles a stick shift with ease, speaks French, and surfs like a Seeker. And who just may be the anchor Ron isn’t aware he needs.
Title: A Crush Rating: PG-13 Summary: “Ready to lose, Weasley?” Malfoy drawled. His words crept over Ron like Devil’s Snare and seemed to squeeze the air out of him. He had a feeling he had already lost.
Title: Clutched Your Life and Wished It Kept Rating: R Summary: Ron did not want to get involved with creepy houses that seem to loom and things that hiss in the darkness. All he wanted to do was to finally get a lead on a serial killer that his boss refuses to even acknowledge exists and make the streets a bit safer again. In hindsight, Ron should have known that following Harry and his crazy conspiracy theory into Malfoy Manor would not achieve that goal. But now here he stands, the Manor brimming with something unseen, and whatever is stalking these shadows, it isn’t going to let him go.
Title: Hope is a Dangerous Thing Rating: NC-17 Summary: They had to get out of Wiltshire quickly. And preferably alive.
Title: An Inconvenient Attachment Rating: NC-17 Summary: Draco Malfoy has a secret ― a crush that he’s harboured for years. He poured his heart out into his journals at school, but now over twelve years later, he’d rather just forget it all. He’s wrapped up in the world of being Pansy’s Best Man, helping her put the finishing touches on what’s supposed to be her happiest day, when the letters start getting leaked. Will Ron Weasley ever figure out they’re all for him? And if so, what will be his reply?
We’ve come to the end of our final week of posting for Ron/Draco Fest 2021! This one was short and sweet, and I hope you all enjoyed.
What a ride the past year has been, but I’m so incredibly proud of all our participants and their hard work. Please take a moment to catch up with these last few entries if you haven’t already! Our Anonymous Masterlist will be coming on Monday April 26, and this round will conclude with the Masterlist Author/Artist Reveals posting on Thursday April 29.

Title: An Inconvenient Attachment Author: Rating: NC-17 Prompt: Self-prompt, but technically # 20 by VioletBehaviour from the 2019 round of the fest: “He’s always felt this way, but he was just too stubborn to admit it aloud. He outwardly chose remarks of slander over the words of affections, but his body began to betray him. He began writing out his frustrations on parchment, keeping them locked safely away from prying eyes. Imagine Draco’s surprise when the Daily Prophet began publishing detailed love notes and passages on the front page.” Word Count: 37k Warning(s)/Content: Pansy/Ginny, Draco/OMCs, EWE, Canon Divergent, Obsession, Pining, Jealousy, Angst, UST/RST, Slowburn, Misunderstandings, Love Letters, Journaling, Radio Shows, Past Relationships, Poor Decision Making, Draco’s a bit of a dick to his hookups, DownAndOut!Draco, Redemption, Drinking, Clubbing, Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks, Flashbacks, Past and Present, Alternative Careers, Muggle Living, Getting Together, Weddings, Masturbation, Blowjobs, Finger Sucking, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K.

Your prompt blew me away the moment I read it ― over two years ago, haha. I’m terribly sorry I wasn’t able to get it to you the last couple times around, but I hope I’ve somehow made up for the wait and that you enjoy this piece as much as I did. I’m also sorry that I tweaked the part about the Prophet and made it a radio show instead, but thank you for the inspiration. And of course, a thousand thank yous to the incomparable Starry. This story wouldn’t be even half of what it is now without your tireless beta work, and I’ve so loved getting to know you throughout this process!

Notes: A huge thank you to fangqueen, for modding this fest and granting me deadline after deadline to write this monster of a fic. Seriously, this grew so far beyond me, I wouldn’t have gotten this done in time were it not for her patience and willingness to work out extensions. Thank you! Another huge thank you to E, for agreeing to beta-read this on very short notice and doing a stellar job at it. Thank you! And, finally, thank you C, for listening to me complain and whinge about writing this thing and encouraging me when I was exhausted and almost wanting to just drop it.

Summary: When Ron heads to the Hamptons for Hermione’s engagement celebration, it’s been 10 years since he’s seen his friends.

He arrives at Blaise’s posh beach estate ready to catch up with old friends, kick back poolside with a beer, and have some fun in the sun. What could possibly disrupt his weekend? Enter Draco Malfoy—the gorgeous prat who handles a stick shift with ease, speaks French, and surfs like a Seeker. And who just may be the anchor Ron isn’t aware he needs.
