#日常

職場にスマホを忘れてしまったため、昨晩は期せずして強制的デジタルデトックス状態になっていました。

いつも寝る前にぼんやりスマホを触っている時間がぽっかり空いてしまい、とにかく手持ち無沙汰だったので部屋の床に散らばっていた積ん読を消化。読みかけで放置されていた本を読了することができました。

ぼんやりスマホを眺めている時間で、仕事がある日でも毎日これだけ本が読める……。これ、もしや、スマホを封印できれば積読のない世界線で私は生きられるのでは？？？

► As if Harry didn’t have his hands full already, Draco Malfoy has made a comeback from the dead to torment him. However, this is not the Malfoy he knows, this one apologises to him occasionally, and his blasted tanned skin and gold-streaked hair are unknowingly making Harry want things he shouldn’t want. He’s just trying to do his job. [...]

► Harry and Draco were on a mission to find the seller of the illegal potions - and they had them right under their noses. Not able to find said potion seller, Harry ended up tied up with a magical vibrator up his arse. Suffice to say, that wasn't how they expected the mission going.

1. Crimson Neon by @xanthippe74 [M, 20k]

► Winter, 1999. Harry thought going to New York would help him get his head on straight, but all he has to show for it are sore feet and a fridge full of takeaway containers. And now he’s homesick on top of everything else. It doesn’t help that his mysterious neighbour in 2C keeps cooking dishes that remind Harry of home and all the people he lost or left behind. [...] ★ Taste of Smut Fest 2020 | @tasteofsmut

2. The Four Doors by @fluxweeed [E, 48k]

3. Meant to Break the Laws of Gravity Too by BetsyByron [G, 62k]

1. Blow-By-Blow by Anonymous [E, 6k]

▶ Harry rolls his shoulders again, then reaches for the back of his shirt and pulls it over his head. The Aurors around him take a step back, and his side of the room falls quiet as he steps forward."Malfoy," he shouts, drawing the blond's attention from his friends to Harry.

3. Heat of the Moment by Manwathiel_Caladwen [T, 3k]

► “Harry?” Draco asked tentatively, walking around so he could see Harry’s face. Harry raised his eyes, clearly startled out of his train of thought, and registered Draco standing before him. “Leave.” Draco flinched at Harry’s tone which had effectively crushed any hope Draco might have felt.

5. The Way It Is by amalin [M, 7k]

1. all the feelings that you're making me feel by @bonesliketambourines [E, 7k]

► Harry should have known that ‘clean bill of health’ he got after a spell rebounded off him in a raid was too good to be true, especially with Draco Malfoy involved. He never expected this, though, but he finds to his utter shame that he could bloody well get used to it. ★ Taste of Smut Fest 2020 | @tasteofsmut

1. A Handful of Snakes by @welcometothefrogparade [M, 68k]

► Three years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter is starting his second year at the Darthorn College for Advanced Magical Craft. Ron and Harry have managed to get into the famously rigorous Auror training (AT) programme, and though times have been hard for him after the war, Harry is ecstatic to be back. Not even finding out that he has class with Draco Malfoy for a whole term could meddle with his drive now. Or could it? What has that guy been up to lately, anyway? Not that Harry cares, of course, but... does he?

2. Potions Class by pr0bablyn0body [G, 4k]

► Prompt: What if one day everyone was brewing Amortentia and Harry walks in late. Of course, he doesn’t know what they’re brewing and the first thing he says is “Why does the room smell like it’s drenched in Malfoy’s cologne?” [...]
