Summary
So much had changed on Harry’s return to Hogwarts that it was a relief to find himself almost immediately fighting with Malfoy. And when those fights turned to a different kind of contact, who was Harry to resist? And if the only way Harry could get to feel Malfoy’s body against his own again was to goad him into a fight, what else could he do? After all, a kiss with a fist is better than none.

Summary
When Andromeda suddenly passed away, leaving Teddy in the care of both Harry and Draco, neither of them knew how they’d manage to live together without killing each other, let along survive as parenthood was thrust upon them. Raising a ten-year-old boy would be hard at the best of times, but raising one who had just lost the only parental figure he’d ever known was another thing entirely.
Would it be possible for Harry and Draco to put aside their (very many) differences in order to provide a stable family for Teddy? And what would they learn about each other – and themselves – along the way?

Summary
Sometimes, Harry really fucking hated being himself. All he wanted was to be left alone. That, and someone to share his life with. Was that too much to ask? Apparently so.
When Harry’s sex-life was plastered across the front page of the Daily fucking Prophet, he decided to get away until it all died down. Unfortunately, trouble had always known how to find him.
Would it be possible to forgive the unforgivable?

Summary
Draco was quite fine with his own company, thank you very much. So, when a potions accident left him unable to rid his head of Harry Potter’s infernal internal monologue, Draco was less than thrilled. He was, however, an internationally educated Potioneer; he could find an antidote without having to admit to Potter the access he’d had to his thoughts…actions…personal life…personal time…right?

Summary
It starts because Harry has no self-control when it comes to meaningless and entertaining competition.
Actually no, that's not quite right. It starts because Harry is absolutely plastered.
(From the prompt: Workplace fic in which a benign inter-department step challenge gets out of hand, spearheaded by you know who 1 and 2)

Summary
It was only supposed to be casual. Just rules on parchment, a way to keep things nice and easy. But somewhere between French men, stolen socks, and Christmas mornings, the rules stopped mattering.
What mattered was him.
What mattered was love.Enemies with Benefits takes place over two years, and follows Harry and Draco shagging senselessly but ultimately getting themselves sorted.
--
I wrote Enemies with Benefits at the end of summer 2025 after a ten-year hiatus from the fandom and from writing in general. Fast forward seven months, and I decided to edit the fic as I feel my writing has improved. The story has not changed. I’ve focused on SPaG and fixed one tiny plot hole. I hope that the story is a more enjoyable read for you.

Summary
Harry's absolutely sure it's Malfoy's fault that they are stuck reliving the same day over and over.
Harry is good at his job. He's professional, has an excellent closure rate, and is a well-respected Auror. Malfoy's the unprofessional one with his snark and his judgemental eyebrows and his far too-posh-for-work robes. If Malfoy could have managed to refrain from being a pain in the arse, everything would have been just fine. They wouldn’t have gotten in yet another argument, Harry wouldn’t have been distracted, and Harry certainly wouldn’t have accidentally set off a powerful artifact at their crime scene.
And if Malfoy would just get out of his way now, Harry's sure he can quickly fix this so they can get back to their comfortable professional dislike of one another.
