And The Illusion that One Can Get Things Right
119k, Complete, Explicit
The synopsis: Blindsided by Ginny's sudden departure from his life, Harry struggles to care for his family—replete with a new baby. The situation plummets from disarray to pandemonium just as Draco Malfoy arrives to drop Scorpius off for a visit, because of course it does.
IT WAS SO SO SO CUTE
James, Albus, Lily and Remy stole my heart. The friendship between the Potters and the Malfoys felt so natural and tender ugh, I loved every chapter with them on it. Seeing Harry try to do his best as a recently single father, trying to give his kids the love and attention they crave after Ginny left WITHOUT neglecting his other duties? Juggling with the needs of a newborn baby, two moody teenage kids and an adorable ten year old girl? Poor guy was STRUGGLING.
And then, so organically you can’t help but be in awe of the author’s skills, Draco and Scorpius enter their lives: restoring the natural order of things with small gestures and every day domesticity. IT MADE ME MELT 💕
I loved the way Draco helps Harry carry the heavy burden on his shoulders, all without losing that iconic Malfoy sass. AND THEN THEY START FALLING IN LOVE 😭 So slowly and naturally, like it was meant to happen from the start. STOP IT 😫❤️
This fic felt like a warm hug, so tender and fluffy and spicy at the same time. One hundred percent recommended.
✨ It beats me black and blue but it fucks me so good / 21k / "You haven't called me for a while."
Draco shrugs, holding his head up high.
"Yes. And?"
"And. I know exactly what that means."
Draco raises a single brow, blinking slowly. He looks unimpressed. "It means I've forgotten you exist. It means I'm completely and utterly over you, no matter how much your overinflated ego tries to convince you otherwise. It means -
'It means you haven't been properly fucked in ages."
✨ In Your Arms, Rests My World / 24k / Harry presses his mouth to Malfoy's forehead; he wants to tell him that he'll never leave, that he wouldn't dream of it.
"You make me feel safe, Potter" Malfoy whispers. "You keep me safe."
✨ Expectant / 62k / After he accidentally gets Malfoy pregnant on a drunken fuck at a club, Harry doesn't anticipate that it'd be just as easy to fall in love with him.
✨ Stain of Silence / 28k / After the war, Draco serves out his sentence in Harry Potter's house.
✨ For a Given Value of Normal / 23k / Realizing he's gay is one thing. This unholy mess with Malfoy is something else entirely.
In which Harry tries to negotiate the path from self-loathing to some sort of happiness, and in the process learns that Malfoy runs a shop, reads Muggle philosophy, and is a dirty rotten liar.
Well, that last one isn't really a surprise.
✨ You open always (petal by petal) / 65k / Harry's not the kind of person who pays for sex. He really isn't. Until he is.
✨ Inside your Mind / 36k / Goyle's taken it upon himself to act as Malfoy's personal, one-man guard and Harry can't help but feel like it's only making the bullying worse.
✨ as the plant that never blooms / 7k /
"Something's wrong," Potter says again. "You have to take my wand. Stun me. Then call Ron."
✨ The Illusion that One Can Get Things Right / 119k / Blindsided by Ginny's sudden departure from his life, Harry struggles to care for his family-replete with a new baby.
The situation plummets from disarray to pandemonium just as Draco Malfoy arrives to drop Scorpius off for a visit, because of course it does.
✨ Never Mind The Bollocks / 118k / If someone told Harry six months ago that by autumn he would be single, living on whisky and toast, and dancing the night away with Draco Malfoy, he would have told them to get their head checked.
And yet, here he was.
✨ Nights With You / 58k / Draco is mortified when moments prior to departing for the most anticipated destination wedding of the year, he is cruelly dumped. But when he learns that Harry Potter has, at long last, split with his horrible boyfriend, Draco is certain his luck has changed. Never a man to squander an opportunity for revenge and what would probably be a spectacular shag), Draco vows to make Potter his for the weekend.
Now all Draco has to do is convince him.
(Or in most of these cases, to his first year at Hogwarts)
✨ Another Chance / 57k / Harry leaves the white limbo of King's Cross to find himself in his childhood cupboard once again. Luckily for him, it seems he's brought Ron and Hermione back with him, and with his best friends at his side he can do anything.
The Golden Trio take Hogwarts by storm, a bit more jaded and ruthless than before and determined to undermine the war before it ever truly starts.
✨ Oh God Not Again! / 151k / So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.
✨ family and other wonders / 124k / Harry was supposed to pick- move on and be with his parents, or go back to finish the battle with Voldemort. But even Dumbledore doesn't know everything, and Harry finds that there are actually a lot more options than those two.
Harry wants more than what he got. He wants a home. He wants a family. He wants a chance to be happy. He isn't sure he deserves all that, but he's going to try anyway. If only to spite Dumbledore and Voldemort's plans both.
OR: Harry Potter wakes up ten years old but with all of his memories from age seventeen. He immediately begins to make Mistakes.
✨ Another Chance / 244k / Harry willingly walks to face Voldemort for one last time. The moment the Killing Curse hits, he wakes up the day after he and Hermione traveled through time. Gifted this chance, Harry sets out to learn about about what has been denied to him since he lost his parents. Along the way he makes new friends, learns new magic, and carves out his place in the wizarding world.
✨ Harry Potter and the Ticket Backwards / 78k / When the most powerful magics collide due to Harry Potter's desperate, last sacrifice, he creates for himself a chance to fix up the wrongs in his world. Yet going back in time isn't everything that he expected: Voldemort is a threat, but it is Harry himself who no longer fits comfortably in the world. Time has changed him, he just hasn't yet figured out how.
✨ Everything Black / 67k /
If you had a chance to do it over again, make things better, would you take it?
or
Harry fakes it 'til he makes it.
OR
Harry -somehow- accidentally goes back in time.
✨ Square One / 59k / When Harry dies in the Forbidden Forest, he expected not to wake up. Much less wake up in his childhood cupboard, and even less expected was the letter from his friends confirming it wasn't just him starting over at square one.
Time-Travel fix it where the golden trio get sent back to first year! Starts on the day of Dudleys birthday! Sorry for all of the head cannons!!
Heavily inspired by Arkodian's series "What goes around comes around"!
✨ The Walking Paradox / 57k /
This was a bad dream.
It had to be. It must be a nightmare, purgatory, something. Anything, anything at all except for what his sneaking suspicions were saying.
There was no way – there was no way – Harry James Potter had been hit by the Killing Curse and promptly been transported back in time.
And yet.
(Yet another time travel fix-it fic - except it isn't a power fantasy.) (though those are good, too)
Prongsfoot. An illustration for this microfic.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

That scene was so cathartic, god
after Sirius’ death.

(book scene) “I don’t want to talk about how I feel, all right?” “Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human–” “THEN–I–DON’T–WANT–TO–BE–HUMAN!” Harry roared. (HP5, The Lost Prophecy)
