Draco and Harry converse fruitfully
I solemnly swear to not put the collection in the anonymous or unrevealed setting
Wherein they get together and talk through their pasts, of losing and gaining, straying away and staying put.
Common themes: Emotional, physical restraints and how they push through by opening up. All for the better

Summary
At first Harry wonders if they’ve managed to destroy his vaults and are trying to tell him in the most oblique way possible. But when he turns the page he realises they’ve found a vault. A vault in the name of Lily and James Potter.
The parchment trembles a little in Harry’s hand. He takes another gulp of wine.
Harry Potter left Britain after the war and didn’t look back. Ten years later, when Gringotts discovers a vault containing his parents’ belongings—including their badly spell-damaged wedding rings—he’s forced to face up to friends and family who’ve grown in ways he could never imagine, a wizarding London rebuilt beyond his expectations, and the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s the entirely unforeseen problem of Draco Malfoy.
Featuring pureblood wizarding traditions, ancestral magic, open mic nights, marriage equality, a diner in Brooklyn, and the return of Fleamont Potter.

Summary
"Conversation is a meeting of minds with different memories and habits. When minds meet, they don't just exchange facts: they transform them, reshape them, draw different implications from them, engage in new trains of thought. Conversation doesn't just reshuffle the cards: it creates new cards."-Theodore Zeldin
Five years after the war, Andromeda Tonks becomes ill and needs someone to take care of Teddy for a while, forcing Harry and Draco to come together and try to make the best of the situation. It's time for Harry and Draco to talk.

Summary
When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, there's unfortunately only one person in the country with the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It's obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Draco's never been able to back down from a challenge... especially from Potter.
Features fuzzy cartoon slippers, devious house elves, 90s music, and lots—LOTS—of memories. Ron is annoyingly hot, Hermione sees right through you, Harry is a powerful idiot, and Draco is a reclusive masochist that would buy an entire city if it would make a kid happy. (And Pansy is "5'2, I wanna dance with you, and I'm sophisticated fun.")

Bookmarker's Notes
A/N: ❛The title (and some inspiration) comes from a quote from an essay by Tim Kreider for the New York Times, that later blew up into a meme: “If we want the rewards of being loved, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.”❜

Summary
Harry finally realizes that he has trouble keeping lovers both because of his looks and because he isn’t very good at sex. He does what he can to alter that, but it seems he’s never going to be good enough to satisfy a wizard lover. When Draco Malfoy offers, Harry thinks a casual relationship with him might be the solution to his problems. But he should have remembered one thing: when it comes to Harry, Malfoy has a problem staying casual.

Summary
Dating Draco Malfoy, Harry thinks, will mean being at arms length outside of sex. No unnecessary physical contact or displays of affection. He wants him anyway, inexplicably. Perhaps that is exactly the kind of person he should be with, someone who will never need Harry to kiss him first, because Harry doesn't think he'll ever be that person.

Summary
"Black sheep is a derogatory colloquialism in the English language meaning an outsider or one who is different in a way which others disapprove of. This can be someone who has been shunned by others, or one who has chosen to be an outsider, due to actions and aims that separate them from the rest of the people or 'flock.'"
Five years after the end of the war, Harry runs into the last person he'd ever expected to have to meet again. In the aftermath of the crash, he will have to face the damage he's wrought and that has been wrought upon him. After such a collision, sometimes it's not possible to carry on along the same road one has been travelling—and sometimes you might even find you don't want to.
(Mostly written pre-DH. Also, Draco is a glorious lord of snark.)

Bookmarker's Notes
"What ever happened after you left me for dead?"
Deathly Hallows wherein Draco Lucius Malfoy assisted Harry James Potter in the search of the last hocrux; the Malfoy parents dead under Voldie's hands.
"Do you really need to know?"
"Well, yes. After all, I got you the horcrux, didn't I? And sacrificed myself for it."
And Harry left him to perish.
It is 6 years since.
A/N:
"It will never not be sad that they lost so much, including so much of what they once meant to one another, but they will forge a lifetime of new memories together to help fill in some of those gaps. Sometime you lose something you never wanted to lose in life, but it doesn't mean you've lost everything. There will always be a hole in their hearts where they know something is missing, but people can live with such holes and still find happiness again. People do so every day."
