Summary
‘Emotion was building in Harry’s throat, “This is very interesting Draco,” he admitted, aiming for casual but knowing the shaking of his hands was giving him away, “But how do we get back?”
Draco’s face crumpled, “I’m sorry Harry, there is no way back,” it was like a bell had been struck inside Harry’s head - all he could hear was ringing, “There’s no where to go back to,” Draco moaned, “He wasn’t just trying to travel in time - he was trying to obliterate his own,” Draco choked on his tears, “There’s nothing ahead of this to travel to yet Harry,” he let out a few more hiccuping tears before finally suppressing his noises of pain, “There is no going back,” he whispered.’
—
Harry had known working at the Department of Mysteries came with risks, but he never would have expected it to destroy his entire life. Now, trapped as his 14 year old self just after the resurrection of Voldemort with Draco Malfoy for company, they must try and figure out how to move forward.

Filling Cracks With Silver by CharmsAnd_SpellingErrors (orphan_account)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Harry's hopes to settle down after the war are dashed, once again, by the Ministry of Magic. He's given a compromise: more time to spend with his family, if he agrees to assume the role of bodyguard. For none other than Draco Malfoy. As if things couldn't get any worse. Only, Harry starts to realise that he's developed prejudices of his own against Draco, and as they begin to grow closer, they each start question their old rivalry.
With a very real threat to Draco's life thrown into the mix, Harry comes to realise just how much he's come to care for the troubled Malfoy heir.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: I have made the decision to orphan this work, not because I dislike what I’ve written here, I’m actually very proud of this work and it saddens me to have to do this, but because Harry Potter is no longer a safe space for me. If you still find joy from the world of Harry Potter, and my writing, I appreciate that, and would never take that away (which is why I haven’t deleted this fic), but I myself no longer feel connected to the franchise. Thank you everyone who supported me during, and after the fic writing process :)

Summary
‘“You can’t go alone Harry,” Hermione said, trying to lift herself to her feet but giving up with a squeak, “You need help!”
“No,” Harry said firmly, “This is my decision to run off to try and save Sirius, no one else’s - and you need help Hermione! Look at your ankle!”
“How are you even getting there?” Ron demanded, “'Cause if you want to floo, it looks like we both need to go back up to the castle,” he cried triumphantly.
The answer to his question came in the form of a sudden insistent tugging at the sleeve of Harry’s robe. He flinched back, and looked down to find the skeletal head of doe-eyed Thestral following the path of his hand in an attempt to lick off the blood that coated his arm. Harry froze for a minute, then grinned. He knew exactly how he was getting to London.’—
When Harry made the choice to leave his friends behind, and rescue Sirius from the Department of Mysteries on his own, he had never imagined what the consequences might be.

Summary
“We are party friends,” Harry said weakly. He ran his fingers through his hair. When he got home, he assured himself, he would have a truly epic wank. That would expunge all of this wild, unmitigated longing.
“Oh,” Malfoy said, his voice low. “Is that what we are, Potter?”
“I— yeah. I’d better— I really need to go.”
“And what is it that you’re running off to do? Is it more important than me? Why can’t you stay and entertain me?” Malfoy’s voice was melodic and tempting. He reached out and caught Harry’s wrist. “I want you to stay and entertain me. That’s what I want, and I ought to have it.”
~~***~~
Or: After every party they attend together, Harry goes back to Grimmauld and has a wank over Draco Malfoy. Tonight, Harry draws up the Gryffindor courage to ask Mafloy back to his for a shag. And Harry's about to get very lucky.

Summary
Eight years after the war, Harry is an auror, and he is a drunk. An ordinary stop at Malfoy Manor, to dismiss Draco from his probation, reveals a disturbing secret: Draco has obliviated himself, and he has no memory of who he is.
Harry becomes determined to fix him, and together they help untangle each other from their shared web of trauma and grief.
“It was his birthday yesterday. I got him a pair of Gouldian finches—he was so excited. You know, he used to hate birds? The peacocks terrified him when he was small.” Narcissa sniffled and turned back to Harry. “Twenty-six years old … and he can’t be left alone for ten minutes.”“What happened to him?”
Narcissa took a sip of her tea; she pursed her lips and blew on the cup’s steaming surface.
“Draco tried to obliviate himself, Harry—last year on Christmas.”

Summary
Harry Potter always thought that life following the war would be worth living. However, six months after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry finds himself overwhelmed with violent grief and an unwanted PTSD diagnosis. Exhausted, Harry seeks to be the teenager that he should have been, attending Hogwarts parties, meeting new friends, and discovering his sexuality.
When Ministry documents leak the possibility of a hidden Horcrux in an alternate reality, Harry realizes that he never will find peace. Paranoia brings back dangerous old habits, and Harry is determined to end any chance of Voldemort's return if it's the last thing he does.
In a freak accident, Harry finds himself on Earth's Echo, a seemingly perfect reality that has never been touched by Voldemort. The only problem: Draco Malfoy is unapologetically in love with him. It's a problem that Harry is willing to overlook if it means he never has to go back to the miserable life he was living -- until he realizes that there's much more to this so-called perfect reality than it seems, and it sends Harry deeper into the universe than he ever wanted to be.

Summary
The sight of a small figure gently stroking Harry’s hair had him freezing in his tracks. His wand was out at once.
“Stop!” He barked, fear making his voice tight; enormous, watery blue eyes turned to peer at him, and he lowered his wand a little. A shuddering breath escaped him. He swallowed, “Hello, Dobby.”
“Hello, Draco Malfoy,” Dobby said mournfully, turning to look back at Harry and stroke his hair, “We is needing to get Harry Potter into a proper bed.”—
It had been a mistake, but it was easily the worst one of Draco’s life. He might never be able to atone for it, but trying to started with this: keeping an unconscious Harry safe and protected from the outside world at Spinners End. Snape had warned him that after what had happened, Harry might never wake, and that if he did, he wouldn’t be the same. It didn’t matter to Draco though. He would stay till the end, no matter what that end might be.
