Thank you for your work in the drarry fandom! You are a godsend! I've been looking for a fic for years. It is a fic where Harry is an auror and draco is brought in as a consultant of some sort, likely a potions consultant. He consults for an ongoing case they have that concerns dark magic/potions. They have a bdsm relationship where draco wants to give up control because he feels he made too many bad decisions and wants someone to control him. Harry wants control because he has never had enough of it. He had his entire life planned out for him by destiny and Dumbledore. I remember a scene where they have this revelation. Another memorable scene is an auror meeting, where draco is called in to give a presentation regarding a dangerous potion or dark magic. He has a briefcase. The aurors don't respect him or pay attention, but he shows these gruesome images of the subject they're dealing with and they pay attention. Another additional detail is that harry is new to bdsm dynamics, and that they might have started their relationship prior to or after meeting in the workplace. Draco was the bottom, if I recall correctly. This is as much as I can remember. I loved this story so much not only because of the analyzing of their bdsm tendencies (I've never specifically loved bdsm but the way it was used as characterization was really well done,) but also because of the ongoing mystery and auror case. Thank you so much for your help!
Additional info:
I'm trying to think of any other details that might help. I included pretty much everything I could remember, the only other thing i can remember was that it was probably at least over 15k or longer, it is hard to remember. Draco was very competent at his job, and the case they were working on likely involved gruesome potion related things happening to the victims faces, which draco presented slides? of at a meeting. Thank you so much!
From another anon:
I think Draco was brought in as a potions teacher of some kind for the auror department and he had really bad anxiety.
Hi anon, thank you for your patience! We tried really hard to find this fic but unfortunately we could not.
ETA: we are positive this fic is Yours is the Earth (Hold On, Hold On) by chickenlivesinpumpkin (127k, E)
