Summary
"The magic demands a sacrifice," Malfoy said.
"What kind of sacrifice?"
Malfoy's mouth twisted grimly. "A virgin."
Harry felt his eyes widen. "Killing one?"
"No, of course not, Potter," Malfoy snapped. "Don't be macabre. Fucking one." Malfoy exhaled with bitter disappointment. "Fuck. Rules us out."
Harry took a deep breath. His face felt hotter than ever. "It doesn't, actually."
Harry's had some terrible birthdays in his life. But this one - trapped in a cave with Draco Malfoy, and only one way out - has to take the cake.

Summary
Where the Falcons fly, there’s blood. Where Draco goes, there usually is too. That’s his job, after all – heal morons and the people who get in their way. He could deal with that, he thinks, if only there wasn’t Harry fucking Potter, Seeker, who gets injured a lot even by the Falcons’ standards and seems to have made a habit of inserting himself in Draco’s private life. Draco just wants to heal people – normal people, that is – and do his research in peace. Well, when does he ever get what he wants?

Summary
Years ago, if you asked Draco what he thought would be the hardest part of building a life with Harry Potter, he would've said the beginning: convincing Potter to give him a chance, taking that chance, the vulnerability of a first kiss.
He would've been wrong.

Summary
Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that’s by making headlines with an obvious upgrade. And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself? Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl. Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn’t hurt, either. But Potter is also in need of a Healer willing to keep his secrets, and Draco is just the man for the job. It’s a perfectly reasonable exchange. They need only attend a couple parties arm-in-arm, smile nicely for the paparazzi, and tolerate each other long enough to convince everyone they’re smitten. In return, Draco will keep Potter alive and in one piece.
But it isn’t long before Draco realises he might be in over his head, because Potter is ten tonnes of trouble packed into a leather jacket, and seems keen on hurtling himself towards death on the back of a flying motorbike. And that says nothing of Potter’s penchant for fire-breathing beasts and things that bite.
Ah well, at least they’ll have some fun while it lasts. After all, Draco always did like a bit of danger.

Summary
It’s so clear, you see, that if we’re to begin living in the present, we must first redeem our past and then be done with it forever. And the only way we can redeem our past is by suffering and by giving ourselves over to extraordinary labor, to steadfast and endless labor.
Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard
Set long after the Battle of Hogwarts.
Draco Malfoy is abruptly and unwillingly called home after spending the last twenty years living and studying abroad. It seems that there are things at Malfoy Manor which need to be put to rest, and the Ministry of Magic has determined that as the sole remaining Malfoy by blood, Draco is the only one who can do it.
But curse breaking is not Draco’s area of expertise, and so the Ministry has found someone willing to help.
Completed!
I don’t own any characters you recognize, I just like to push their faces together and make kissy noises. Not making any money from this, etc., etc.
