▶ Malfoy is a vampire. Entirely unrelatedly, Harry wants to fuck him.

2. If You Were Gay by @drgngrl87 [T, 2k]

▶ Draco helps Potter untwist his wand after Harry reads a particularly annoying piece about himself in Wizarding Britains's most famous weekly tabloid.

3. Take Care of You by @rockmarina [E, 1k]

▶ Not being able to see, to move, to do anything but kneel there and take it all and imagine what he must look like right now—what Draco must look like right now—is as infuriating as it is intoxicating.[...]

Fine 2020.05

Finally someone realised how fine Yuya is and make him a regular model for their magazine! I've included the actual pages.

I attempted to clean up some of the text but there's only so much I can only my phone.

ウーパールーパーはカエルやオオサンショウウオと同じ両生類のなかまです。

カエルはエラ呼吸をするオタマジャクシから肺呼吸のカエルへと変態します。同じくオオサンショウウオも、幼生は外鰓(がいさい)というエラを持っているのですが、大人になるとそれはなくなって肺呼吸になっていきます。

が、ウーパールーパーは、大人になってもエラ(外鰓)が消えずにそのまま残っているのです。それがあの、顔まわりのピラピラというわけなのですが。エラがそのまま残っているので、カエルやオオサンショウウオのように陸上に出ることはなく、主に水の中で暮らしているというわけです。(一応肺呼吸の機能も持っているらしいが)

ウーパールーパーのように、変態をせずに幼生の時の姿のままで成体になる生物のことを幼形成熟と呼んでいます。

しかしウーパールーパーも、飼育下ではまれに変態をすることがあるそうなのです。

今回の企画展では、その変態したウーパールーパーが展示されていました。

↓それが、こいつです。

岩に隠れていてしっかりとは見えなかったのですが、ウーパールーパーのチャームポイントであるピラピラがなくなっていて……何かオオサンショウウオの小型版のような？？のっぺりとした何か？？？

そして陸上に進出している……。

1. The Falmouth Falcons Conundrum by @slytherco [T, 1k]

▶ A collection of The Daily Prophet snippets over the years after The Falmouth Falcons recruit a new Beater, one Draco Malfoy.

2. Look Me in the Eye and Say Legilimens by @magicflyingspud [T, 33k]

▶ Draco does not just loathe running, he abhors it. So the Ministry better be thankful for his Hit Wizard level of finesse in pursuing this dark magic fiend. For not only is running simply awful, it makes him sweat! How is Draco supposed to be the best dressed in his department when he has to roll up and squeeze his traveling cloak to eliminate all that extra perspiration? [...]

3. Luckiest Baby in the World by @mfingenius [M, 18k]

▶“Look,” Malfoy says. “It’s not like I’m telling you that you have to be a part of its life. I only-” “How do you know it’s mine?” The question is out of his mouth before Harry can think better of it, and he immediately regrets it because of the way Malfoy’s face shutters, turns cold.

4. Never Grow A Wishbone by @shanastoryteller [T, 123k]

▶ Draco returns to Hogwarts. He has a duty to his blood and his name and his house, and he will fulfill it.

1. Dear Potter by drachoemaloy [G, 3k]

▶ Harry has been de-aged from a potion (of course) and Draco has been put in charge of looking after him. These are some of the letters Draco wrote for older Harry to read back on his adventures.

2. Et litteræ signatæ ipsius oscula by @eelwinks [T, 4k]

▶ Harry Potter is working hard to rebuild Hogwarts in time for start of term. When a screeching, horrible-looking ghost appears, Professor McGonagall asks Harry to banish it to the afterlife with Draco Malfoy. But the last thing Harry expects the banishing spell to include is ... a kiss.

3. Free in the Arms of a Lover by Nonbinary_dude_chillin [G, 1k]

▶ Harry’s head is filled with memories of his lost godfather. He’s been so distant from everyone. There’s only one person who can make him feel whole again.

4. Homophobia by AlexNoelFieldingFan [T, 1k]

▶ Harry has decided he's going to come out to his friends as bisexual, but he's not sure how they'll react. And he's not sure how one person in particular will react...

1. Improbable by dracoommalfoy [G, 3k]

▶ Harry Potter's name gets called from the Goblet of Fire and, at once, everyone hates him. With the first task approaching, he needs help, and turned to the only person who didn't start hating him. Draco Malfoy. Well, only because he hated Potter long before the Goblet.

2. Kiss It Better by ferretboyandpotty [T, 11k]

▶ After accident involving quidditch, Harry is left in the hospital wing to recover. It was fine until a whining Draco Malfoy had embarrassingly injured himself and ended up in the bed next to Harry’s.

3. Tabula Rasa by @misguidedmalfoy [G, 1k]

▶ Harry Potter absolutely hates attending public events where he inevitably becomes the center of attention; oddly enough, Draco Malfoy seems to make one event just a little bit better.

4. To Love and To Cherish by @shelvesuponshelves [M, 1k]

▶ Harry and Draco are married with children and a lot of heavy, married flirting

5. The Waking Lights: Be Careful Making Wishes In The Dark by @magicalrocketships [T, 1k]
