    Summary

    Draco Malfoy might not be a killer, but it turns out he's an effective painkiller. If stopping pain was all Draco's touch did, things might not be so complicated, but either way Harry can't afford to be choosy.

    Summary

    “You’re an Unspeakable!”
    Draco Malfoy stops, his hand on the doorknob to the staircase.
    “An excellent observation, Potter.” He says dryly. “May I continue on the way to my job there? I am supposed to be on the clock right now; I was already running late…”
    “I started looking into it.” Harry says quickly, “If I had known you worked for the Ministry when we talked before, I would have asked for your help. As is, we could use an ongoing informant.”
    “I’m a researcher, Potter. Not law enforcement. I did my part; do yours.”
    “But-”
    “Unless you want to go back in time; I’ve given all the help I can give.” Draco cuts across him, opening the stairway door.
    “Wait-” Harry says, blinking quickly as he watches Draco disappear down the stairs. “Is that an actual option?”
    ---
    Nearly a decade after the second wizarding war, there's rumblings of a coming third, and Unspeakable Draco Malfoy tries warning the Head of the Auror department, Harry Potter, about the troubling signs he's seen around him, but when Harry takes an off hand comment related to Draco's research seriously, everything changes.

    Summary

    Harry was sure he wouldn't survive the war. But he did. And everyone was moving on, even Malfoy. Except Harry's not okay, and when George, who is also very much not okay, offers a way to make it all better, Harry accepts.
    And now Harry has a chance to see how his life would have been if his parents hadn't died in 1981.

    (A lot of family dynamics, depression and grief, feelings of guilt, too much drinking, light and fluffy moments too, working on trauma and growing up, friendships)

    Summary

    Harry actually didn't mean to become a Dark Lord. It just sort of happened that way.

     

    This series technically started with the one-shot "Charming When He Needs to Be," but Easy as Falling, Black Phoenix, and Burning Day are all finished prequels to it. Inspired by a request from sandersyager for Benevolently Snarky Dark Lord Harry.
