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
“Oh my- lie back down!” Draco barked, already moving. “What is wrong with you?” He huffed in frustration as he leaned over, fixing the bandages he’d just settled less than ten minutes ago. “Do you want to be stuck in medical care for the rest of your life?”
Harry smiled at him through the pain. “Yours? Definitely.”

Summary
Draco Malfoy woke up married, employed, and utterly confused. Why was he in Grimmauld Place? Who hired him as a Hogwarts professor? How did he acquire a husband? Good thing his aforementioned husband was apparently the Head Auror. Harry Potter was used to saving the world, right?

Summary
Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.
When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?
