Summary
They never thought it would be each other. But then, it was always them, wasn't it? It was always going to be them.
───
In which after the war, Harry learns that maybe he wants soft words and Draco realises maybe all he's ever needed was a kind touch.
───
[ "Tut tut darling, I'm a death eater, remember. I can't be trusted. Who's going to take my word for it?"
Harry nearly choked on nothing but air, shoulders hiking high, face ducking low to hide behind the large, long pages of the newspaper. His face burned and his ears burned and he could feel the flush climbing all the way down to his chest. He was not moving from behind the paper. He refused to. He was not going to look Malfoy in the eye. ]

Summary
| "I know, and I'll apologise then, as well," Harry's voice was still at a whisper, head tilting to look up at Draco, pressing his cheek against his thigh. His nail dragged down his face, hand splaying to rest there, thumb just below Harry's lip. Harry sort of wanted to kiss it, whisper his apology into skin. |
───
An exploration of touch.

Summary
There was no need to tell the Dark Lord, or anyone for that matter, about his motivation behind this, apart from survival instinct. There was no need to think about them in the first place, so he shoved them all away. If he wanted to pull this off, he needed to be exactly as ruthless and cunning and despicable as people thought him to be.
Maybe, one day, in a far away, unattainable future, he would be allowed to explain himself.
_
Harry knows something is wrong with Malfoy and he intends to find out what. He expects it to be a Dark Mark on his arm, and a horrible task. What he doesn't expect is finding a Draco Malfoy that is almost impossible to stay away from. What he doesn't expect to find his for his school rival to show him all the truths no one else dares to say out loud. What he doesn't expect to find ... is everything.

Summary
He moves slowly, tongue flicking out to catch a stray tear close to his cupid’s bow, kissing across the curve.
“Let me show you, baby,” Draco whispers against his lips. “Let me show you how sorry I am, how much I love you, hmm?”
(OR: Harry thinks Draco’s on the verge of leaving him. Six weeks of keeping his anxiety hidden causes Harry to crumble. Draco steps in to put him back together.)

Summary
Horror strikes him down where he stands, then. He sways, stumbles to put his back to the living room wall. Harry is woozy in disbelief, watching the two words slashed into his chest in livid red just like the scar on his forehead. ‘AVADA KEDAVRA.’
He knows those words, the first he can remember, his earliest memory. It feels like he hasn’t breathed in minutes. When he comes back to the moment, he finds that perhaps he hasn’t. Harry gasps for air like a fish does for water, and doesn’t find it. His back has slid down the wall somehow and his hands grip his head, hair clenched in fists.
Then he realizes he’s actually panting, a ringing in his ears, blocking out whatever it is people are saying to him. Hermione crouches in front of him where he can’t possibly miss her, palms settling gently on his knees.
“Harry,” she’s saying. “Harry, it’s going to be alright.”
How?
How can it ever possibly be alright again?
