ART:
Off-Earth for @the-invisibility-bloke [T]
Draco must confront his fear of space when he and Harry find themselves trapped on the I.S.S. for twenty-eight days.
The Curse of Rose Cottage for @chocolando [T]
Curse breakers Harry and Draco travel to Rose Cottage. Will their relationship survive the infamous couples curse?
Ministry Stuck for @digtheshipper [T]
Two wizards get stuck in a lift. This is how they are found when finally rescued.
FIC:
The Domestication of Draco Malfoy for @peachydreamxx [E, 29k]
This year's Season is Draco's chance to restore his family's reputation by making a marriage match. Draco is prepared: he's ready for Theodore Nott's barbs, for a less-than-stellar bride, for every boring dance step and lukewarm sip of punch.
What he's not ready for is Harry Potter.
Never in England for @erin-orolin [E, 10k]
Harry and Draco keep hooking up at out-of-town work events. Back home they pretend like everything’s normal in front of their friends. Both have been fine with this arrangement, until one of them falls in love.
Academic Probation for @agentmoppet [E, 46k]
Harry hated Director Boone, the Death Division, and the failing marks on his Trainee Unspeakable Final Record. Harry probably would have hated academic probation, too, if he weren’t busy hating his tutor.
Malfoy does a lot less tutoring than Harry would have thought, and anyway, Malfoy’s clearly Up To Something. Malfoy has a secret, and he knows Harry is determined to figure it out. He’ll even tell him, too, if only Harry can explain why he wants to become an Unspeakable.
Too bad Harry doesn’t have a clue.
Elevation for @starquestingfordrarry [E, 14k]
Harry lives solo in the Rocky Mountains, and has grown to be one with nature and wild magics.
Desperate for a breakthrough in his arcanoecology research, Draco makes the mistake of listening to his co-worker Luna.
blood from a stone for @jtimu [E, 9k]
The only fate worse than being held hostage with Potter is being held hostage with Potter under the Veritas curse.
Run Towards the Hills for @shewhxmustnxtbenamed [T, 9k]
Travel complications leave Draco stranded in a small town in Scotland. Having to make last minute arrangements, he stays in a B&B run by Harry. While his problems are being taken care of, Draco needs to adjust to life in a small cottage along with the infuriating, but oddly endearing, host.
The Curse Breaker's Apprentice for @smugrobotics [E, 61k]
The annoyance of Draco Malfoy looking like a cross between a catwalk model and a wet dream come to life had been a permanent irritant to Harry since fifth-year. No one deserved to look that good while being such a massive twat.
Draco Malfoy is back.
Back from France, back in Harry’s life and back to being a colossal thorn in his side.
Wherever Harry goes, Malfoy is there; stealing his dream job, hijacking his friends and cockblocking him left, right and centre. It can't be coincidence: Draco Malfoy is most definitely Up To Something.
You'd think things couldn't get any worse, but throw in an enchanted ring, a mysterious curse and a disgruntled ex-fiancée, and Harry's suddenly got a lot more trouble than he bargained for.
How to Court a Stubborn, Arrogant, Depressed Alpha for @maraudersaffair [E, 12k]
What’s a newly presented Omega to do when discovering Draco Malfoy as he’s being escorted to Azkaban for a seven-month sentence is his Alpha and Fated Mate? What’s the poor Omega to do when said Alpha rejects him because he feels he’s not worthy and would rather die? Courting him seems to be the best solution.

~Mod Hel
So... I’d missed a few, but checking it, I’d been the only one sending anything in, which kills my motivation to do this. So I missed a lot of them... and then the just... buildup of how many were gonna be from me made me wanna run and hide, so I did... but I did not stop randomly sending things I saw to the blog... so I finally buckled down, and spent about 3 hours of my life doing this... it’s now nearly 3am, why I started around midnight we’ll never know.

Well.
OR

“There's something I've wanted to tell you f-for a long time. I, uh... I have always had very strong, um, feelings for you, and I was wondering if you also possibly felt the same way toward—”
“–Honestly, Quatre, if you take this long, he's going to fall asleep before you get to the point.”
I glared at the screen. “Come on, Duo! You're supposed to be helping.”
A tinny laugh filtered through the phone’s crappy speakers. Duo leaned back in his chair and arched his eyebrows.
“Oh trust me, I am.”
Quatre comes up with a plan to confess to Trowa how he feels.

Our first week (plus Halloween!) of posting is behind us! Here’s what the cards revealed over the past several days…
· ⋆˖⁺‧₊☽ Fic ☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ ·
🔮 ace of wands (T, 1.1k words) 🃏
The Ace of Wands calls out to you to follow your instincts. Luckily for Draco, Harry's pretty good at that.
Card(s): Ace of Wands
🔮 I Owe You A Black Eye And Two Kisses (E, 8.5k words) 🃏
When Auror Trainees Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy get allotted the same hotel room on an impromptu mission in Prague, their orders of teamwork from Robards seem to become misconstrued.
Card(s): Three of Pentacles
🔮 maybe they had always been like this (E, 7.3k words) 🃏
Harry looked at Draco, studying him for a few moments, noticing that persistent tremble in the blonde's hands again. Draco followed his eyeline, flinching as if he had been hit, then narrowed his eyes.
"Getting Crucioed has side effects."
"So does coming back from the dead." Harry felt possessed again, sitting back down on the sofa, so much closer to Draco that their legs nearly touched. When had he crossed the space between them?
Warnings: graphic depictions of violence
Card(s): The Devil
🔮 Two of Wands (T, 4.6k words) 🃏
Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are Auror partners, idiots, and terrible at decision making. Even their tarot readings have told them so. When a dangerous investigation comes to a head, their futures hang in the balance. Will Draco sacrifice lonely familiarity for a chance at love? Will Harry lead them into deadly peril? Will this fad for tarot readings ever die? Maybe, definitely, and probably not, but it remains to see just what future is written in the cards.
Card(s): Two of Wands
🔮 Lone Moon (E, 23k words) 🃏
When Draco discovers Harry Potter at a muggle strip club, he’s excited to uncover the kinks of The Chosen One, becoming lost when it's his own secrets which are revealed.
Card(s): The Moon
· ⋆˖⁺‧₊☽ Art ☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ ·
🔮 Ace of Wands (G) 🃏
new chapter old wand
who could’ve known we would find
common allegiance
Card(s): Ace of Wands
🔮 XV. THE DEVIL (G) 🃏
The Devil Tarot Card turned Drarry.
Card(s): The Devil
· ⋆˖⁺‧₊☽ Fic & Art ☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ ·
🔮 The Scrambling (E, 7k words, Art) 🃏
Sometimes Draco got caught in a stir. A sort of a whirlpool. When it happened, he really didn't know who to turn to.
Warnings: Implied/Referenced Suicide, Explicit smut, Terminal Illnesses and Death reflections
Card(s): The Hermit
