    Summary

    Harry’s the chronically disheveled politics reporter for the Wizarding Weekly. Malfoy’s the uppity long-form features writer making a name for himself at the Potioneer’s Digest. When they (literally) collide with each other whilst both trespassing at an active crime scene, they reluctantly team up to chase the story and crack the case, a mysterious string of high-profile disappearances. But as they investigate a bizarre apothecary, a smarmy Head Auror, a duplicitous Wizengamot member, and more, will Harry realise it’s not just the dazzling story that’s suddenly got him so interested in Malfoy?

    Summary

    When Harry stumbles across Draco Malfoy working at a fast food restaurant of all places, he becomes instantly obsessed again. But since, this time, Draco clearly isn't up to something, Harry is forced to figure out just why he is obsessed with him. The only problem is that Harry clearly doesn't know how to woo your ex-nemesis turned stranger.
    Hint: stalking usually isn't the way to go.

    Summary

    When Hogwarts reopens its gates after the war, Draco returns with weakened powers and memories of fire impairing his life. As he tries to gain his footing in the midst of far too many Gryffindors, exam preparations, and his place in the magical world, he must learn that dropping grudges can be easy, yet staying true to oneself, oh so very hard.

    An eighth-year story about scars, four-legged companions, and finding peace where you least expect it.

    Summary

    “Did eight years out of my ten and they decided I was good to go.”

    “Are you?”

    A heavy moment of silence fell between them. Draco leaned forward, elbows on his knees.

    “I don’t know, Potter. I don’t know. Are you good? After everything?” asked Malfoy, looking now straight at Harry but his gaze was soft, kind of defeated. Sad.

    “I…” Harry thought for a while. “I am not,” he admitted, honestly, touching the remnants of his right arm.

    Summary

    They never thought it would be each other. But then, it was always them, wasn't it? It was always going to be them.

    ───

    In which after the war, Harry learns that maybe he wants soft words and Draco realises maybe all he's ever needed was a kind touch.

    ───

    [ "Tut tut darling, I'm a death eater, remember. I can't be trusted. Who's going to take my word for it?"

    Harry nearly choked on nothing but air, shoulders hiking high, face ducking low to hide behind the large, long pages of the newspaper. His face burned and his ears burned and he could feel the flush climbing all the way down to his chest. He was not moving from behind the paper. He refused to. He was not going to look Malfoy in the eye. ]
