Summary
Draco Malfoy is an expert in Ancient Runes at Oxford University’s College of Advanced Magical Studies. When he isn’t at the head of a lecture hall, he spends his time alone in cavernous libraries with only crumbling scrolls and runic dictionaries for company. One day, a group of Ministry officials interrupts his research with the aim of recruiting him to lead an elite team of investigators in a top-secret race against time to decrypt a set of recently uncovered ancient runes that threaten the very fabric of time. Draco feels certain he can save the world, if only he didn’t keep getting distracted by his co-lead, one Chief Cursebreaker Harry Potter. If only that distraction didn’t evolve into something so much more.

Summary
Harry takes the DADA position at Hogwarts after a near-fatal Auror injury, expecting a quiet year close to his kids. What he isn't expecting is Draco Malfoy — four years into his tenure as Potions professor, sharp-tongued and self-possessed and nothing like the boy Harry remembers.
As Harry's marriage to Ginny starts to dissolve under the weight of things left unsaid, he finds himself drawn into Draco's orbit: joint lessons, Tuesday marking sessions that run too long, a Christmas that changes everything. Draco is guarded and brilliant and devastatingly competent, and Harry can't stop noticing him.
The problem is that Harry is straight. Or thought he was. And Draco — who has been quietly, hopelessly in love with Harry since sixth year — has built his entire life around the certainty that some things are never going to happen.
A story about second acts, the courage it takes to stop performing the person everyone expects you to be, and two men who spend an entire year almost seeing each other clearly.

Summary
Harry travels to arctic Norway on the trail of dragon egg poachers, only to find he's been assigned to work alongside the only NorMagPol Auror north of sixty: one Draco Malfoy. It's been ten years since they crossed paths, and Malfoy isn't exactly what Harry expected or remembered. For one thing, he wears a lot more hand-knits?
When a sudden winter storm strands the pair, unable to use magic to rescue themselves, they take shelter in a one-room Norwegian hytte.
