    Summary

    Harry returns to Hogwarts for his 8th year and tries his best to act like his peers, to act like everything is normal, all while struggling to reconcile the deaths of his friends with his own resurrection. Plagued by nightmares, PTSD, and panic attacks, he fails rather spectacularly at acting anywhere near normal.

    Fortunately, Malfoy has returned to Hogwarts as well, and he's somehow managed to fail even more spectacularly than Harry. Except where Harry fails to act normal, Malfoy manages to come across as simply succeeding at being weird. Where Malfoy was once polished, cold, and perfect, he returns to Hogwarts messy, haphazardly dressed, perpetually late, and chronically stoned.

    And when Harry finally manages to push everyone else away, Malfoy becomes the one person who makes him feel alive again.

    The weed helps too.

    Summary

    The war is over, but for Harry and Draco, insomnia has become a shared curse. Their midnight encounters in the moonlit corridors of Hogwarts no longer end in duels—instead, they’ve turned into a dangerous game of lingering glances and unspoken truths.
    As hatred burns out, only a raw, aching curiosity remains. But what price will Harry have to pay for his desire to see the man behind the Malfoy mask? A story of two rivals finding a strange kind of solace in the silence of the night.

    Summary

    ON HIATUS UNTIL I RECOVER FROM MY LASIK EYE SURGERY!

    Harry had always thought he knew where the line was drawn between right and wrong, between good and evil, between us and them. That had been one of the few solid, reliable facts of his life that had held him together and kept him going while everything else around him spun and changed. But when Draco Malfoy had saved his life in the Malfoy Manor that night, he’d created a crack in Harry’s armour of blind righteousness that had only grown ever since, leaving Harry doubting and questioning everything he knew to be true.

    Now, McGonagall asked him something unexpected: Room with the ex-Death-Eater in their upcoming, last year at Hogwarts and keep an eye on him.

    Harry wasn’t stupid, he knew that wasn’t going to be an easy task, given his history with the prat. But could he really refuse, when he still felt so unreasonably indebted to Malfoy?

    This wasn’t over between them; whatever it was. And now, with the weight of the War finally lifted from his shoulders, Harry’s wounded heart was all he had left, with a hole at its centre that even though Harry himself had no idea, strangely resembled a pointy, silver-haired Slytherin.
