Warnings/Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe, Book 7: Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter - Snatchers Scene Rewrite, Non-Linear Narrative, Angst, Physical Injury, Blood, Hurt/Comfort, Torture, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Canon-Typical Violence, Homophobia, Internalized Homophobia, Vomiting, Original Characters, Moving Portraits (Harry Potter), Warning: Bellatrix Lestrange, Bathing/Washing, Blowjobs, Handjobs, First Time, Loss of Virginity, Jealousy, Pining, Pining Draco Malfoy, Besotted Harry Potter, Snarky Draco Malfoy, Snarky Harry Potter, (but they are soft too), Good Narcissa Malfoy, Smart Narcissa Malfoy, Dark Mark (Harry Potter), Wartime, Safehouses, Time Skips, (Part One Only)

Summary:  Draco learned by the pointed toe of Aunt Bella’s boot that not choosing was a choice all its own. Prompt #38 for fic: During the war, Harry is kidnapped and trapped in Malfoy Manor. Draco, frightened out of his mind, risks his life to heal and protect the boy he's always loved, even if it means Draco would be severely punished if they're caught. 

Author’s Note:  Thank you so much to my beta readers S and B! You were both wonderfully helpful. This story would not be half so polished without your input.  

I was very excited to write this prompt! I’m not very well-versed in angst, at least not the physical aspect of it, and I’m even less practiced in wartime fics. It was a great challenge for me to write this story, and I’m very happy with how it turned out :)

Temporary Oblivion by Devious_Muffin

Creator: Devious_Muffin Pairing(s): Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy Rating: M Word count: 13.2k

Warnings/Tags:  AU-Soulmates, Hogwarts Era, Second Wizarding war, Time Skips, Somewhat Canon Compliant, Draco Malfoy-Centric, POV Alternating, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Obliviate, Memory Loss, Hopeful ending, MCD mentioned in passing, Not Harry or Draco

Summary:  The first time Draco Obliviated Harry, it had been easy. It had been a reaction, potentially reckless, but easy. The next time, it was necessary. He couldn't risk Harry remembering, couldn't risk the exposure or the questions. The last time, it was for Harry's survival. He couldn't let Harry find out the truth, couldn't be the reason behind Harry's demise, so for the good of everyone, he erased the knowledge Harry had of soulmates and Soul Marks and ignored the pain it caused him. If only those memories could stay forgotten.

Author’s note:  Thank you to my wonderful Beta, BW (who will be revealed when I am!), who swooped in to save me just in the nick of time. I thoroughly enjoyed your Brit-picking, and I appreciate the time you took out of your day to help me out of a tight spot 💚

This was written in response to the following prompt by LovelyLovelies: Soulmate au, where only Draco knows at first. Every time Harry figures it out and goes to Draco, Draco obliviates him, but Harry figures it out again and goes to Draco every time (each with varying outcomes)

***PODFIC PAIRING***

The courtroom erupted in whispers, but Harry's voice cut through them, sharp and clear after minutes of sitting in silence, listening to people making accusations.

"He was a boy," Harry continued, gaze fixed on Draco—pale, chained, trying and failing to meet his eyes. "He was a boy, and he was scared. He did what his family told him to, what Voldemort told him to."

Everyone flinched, as if he would come back from the dead at the mention of his name. As if Harry hadn't walked to his own death to kill him.

"I know what it's like to be told who you have to be. To have no choice. Didn't all of you choose to hide behind me when it came to war? Weren't you printing wanted posters of my face when I was out there, searching for a way to end this? This trial might about Draco, but it was not he that chased after me with wands at the ready, it was the Ministry itself."

The Wizengamot shifted uneasily.

Harry's hands curled into fists. "If you punish him, then you punish me by extension. I stand here alive because he chose to come to my aid when it mattered. Right in front of Voldemort's eyes, knowing his own life could end in return."

Silence fell in the courtroom. Draco finally looked at him, something in his eyes Harry could not name from where he was. Gratitude. Anger. Maybe both.

Under the Beech Tree by Rainjuly

Creator: Rainjuly Pairing(s): Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy Rating: E Word count/Art Medium: 15.5k

Warnings/Tags: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Slice of Life, Amnesia, Auror Harry Potter, Unreliable Narrator, Getting Together, Nonlinear Narrative, took a small part of Deathly Hallows and modified it however I want, marriages, non canon compliant since sixth year, Off Screen Minor Character Death, Divorce, Mental Health Issues, Falling In Love

Summary: Harry wakes up from a coma losing the past six years of his life. He's welcomed by his loving husband, a warm home, and the fact that the beech tree he and Draco planted is already taller than their house. But there's always more than meets the eye. Something isn't quite right about Draco. Maybe it's because he's older. Maybe Harry did something wrong. Maybe something happened. Harry won't know until he gets his memories back. Or: The amnesia fic. But with a twist.

Author’s note: This is the story that I really needed to write right now. I hope it touches you too.

ZENBU ZENBU by AishiteItai/愛して痛い

Creator: AishiteItai/愛して痛い Pairing(s): Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter Rating: T Word count: 56.8k

Warnings/Tags: Comfort/Angst, Post-War, Post-Canon, Practically canon-compliant, Ministry of Magic (Harry Potter), Ministry of Magic Employee Harry Potter, Ministry of Magic Employee Draco Malfoy, Suicidal Thoughts, Functional Alcoholism, Mental Health Issues, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Deceptive word count

Summary: Draco makes a wish on his birthday. It doesn't come true, so he makes a different one.

Author's note: 全部全部 (zenbu zenbu) means "all of everything" or "totally whole"

I wrote and intended this story to be only two chapters. However, it is not fair to make people read one 47,000-word chapter, so I have split it up partly to make things easier on you, dear reader. Please keep in mind it is easier understood if read in one sitting.
