    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

    Draco thought he could avoid Potter for the duration of his brief return to England. He’d stick to his schedule and be back home in Paris, where he belonged, in a few short months. No trouble at all. He had plenty to occupy him, what with the opening of the London branch of his successful apothecary, his innovative research, drinks with Pansy, a backlog of unread potions periodicals.

    Except Head Auror Potter is everywhere — in Draco's chair, at his door, in his dreams. All six feet of motorbike-riding, combat-boot-wearing, sex-hair-sporting Saviour of the World packed into one unfairly fetching uniform. Potter won’t leave Draco the bloody hell alone, won’t let him breathe, let him forget, let him sleep.

    Because no matter how fast Draco Malfoy runs, Harry Potter is always hot on his heels.

    Summary

    “Good morning, sweetheart. I guess I should explain a little.

    It seems as though you’ve upset the gods. I’m not going to pry. Your business is your own. Still, in doing so they’ve banished you to my island.

    Ogygia is hidden, cursed to be unplottable and undiscoverable. No mortal can find it without divine intervention. And once you’re here, only divine intervention will allow you to leave.

    I’m sorry. Truly. No one deserves this. But I hope that I can make your time here easy, and peaceful.

    If you ever need anything, anything at all, just say it out loud. I'll hear you, and if it's within my power, I'll get it for you.

    -Alex”
