    Summary

    It's a pretty unrealistic conclusion, all things considered. But he didn't know how else to explain it.

    Shuichi is stuck in a time loop.

    Forced to relive the same night over and over... that cruel night where someone dies in that hydraulic press. Shuichi's confident that if he can stop these events from playing out- if he can save that someone's life- then time would progress normally once again. He just... has to figure out how to do that.

    And heaven knows, help comes from the most startling of places.

    --
    or, tldr; Shuichi is stuck in a time loop. Good thing Kokichi is here to help!
    ...Eventually!

    Summary

    Both orphaned in 1981, Draco and Harry grow up together at Woldvale Orphanage. Despite the unequal treatment they receive, they quickly become inseparable—a first love threatened when Draco is taken away.

    Or,

    As children, Draco and Harry made a promise that would shape the rest of their lives—to stay together forever.

    “Feels like our boldest truth or dare, don’t you think?” Harry suddenly said after they got closer to the forest, hand in hand.

    Summary

    Now Complete!

    An ultra slow burn Drarry retelling beginning the summer before fifth-year and continuing through the final battle at Hogwarts.

    Harry begins to distrust Dumbledore after the events of his fourth year, turning to an unlikely source for knowledge and information. The Occupation of Malfoy Manor by Voldemort leads Draco down a path that diverges significantly from the rest of his family. An event early on sets in motion a large rift in the Golden Trio, ultimately resulting in irreparable damage. Harry learns what real friendship is and who he can trust while making several self-discoveries along his journey to rid the Wizarding World of Voldemort for good.

    There are several plot points from the original source material that remain unchanged and are therefore only referenced and implied. While I don't care for the author's personal views, I enjoy her writing and will not be re-writing anything that happens as they appeared in the books. This fic is long enough as it is! There will be author notes for any chapter that includes or alludes to these scenes.

    Please make note of the canonical character death tag and remember what happens in Order of the Phoenix.

    Summary

    Harry only meant to buy Christmas presents.

    Instead, he found Draco Malfoy again, more than a decade after the war: owner of Wizarding London's best luxury apothecary, and had somehow become much, much fitter than Harry remembered.

    Harry has questions, most of them inappropriate, and the only sensible thing to do with questions is investigate. Draco was definitely hiding something. Unfortunately, Harry's investigative instincts keep getting distracted by what Draco’s got going on under all those kaftans.

    Featuring: food as a love language, the art of technicalities, ancient magic, Harry’s overactive imagination, and Draco’s spectacular commitment to making everything more complicated than it needs to be.

    Summary

    Draco’s voice shook. “You don’t know what it’s like to have you. No one knows what it’s like to lose you.” A sob fled from him. “Please don’t make me be the first.”
    Harry’s face crumpled, looking away, and Draco knew then it was over.
    “It’s my past, it must be. I asked before and you said –”
    “I have forgiven you –”
    “I am a person!” Then quieter, “A person; not just something to be forgiven.”

    ~

    With his family’s name and misdeeds laying heavily upon him, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts for a torturous eighth year. He finds himself unrequitedly in love with Harry Potter and at odds with everyone around him, even the bricks. While navigating the post-war world, he is forced to decide both who he is and what he wants.
