Summary

Choosing to stay and repair his childhood home, Draco tries to make sense of the chaos. Along the way he stumbles across none other than Harry Potter.
This is a story about returning home, about finding family in friends, and about trying to make sense of a nonsensical world.

Summary
"Are you always this awkward when leaving a crime scene or are you used to the damsels in distress throwing themselves at your feet as you leave? Trust me, Potter, I'm no damsel."
Harry rolled his eyes but a knowing look lit Malfoy's eyes when Harry scrubbed the back of his hot neck. "It's not always damsels," he muttered out.
Malfoy screwed up a brow. "Oh?"
The war has taken a great toll on many. Some people can’t seem to move forward, others don’t know how to sit still. All wounds are deep, even the ones that can’t be seen. However, sometimes it’s only the people who have been through similar situations who can truly help heal.- Language:

Summary
Draco’s voice shook. “You don’t know what it’s like to have you. No one knows what it’s like to lose you.” A sob fled from him. “Please don’t make me be the first.”
Harry’s face crumpled, looking away, and Draco knew then it was over.
“It’s my past, it must be. I asked before and you said –”
“I have forgiven you –”
“I am a person!” Then quieter, “A person; not just something to be forgiven.”~
With his family’s name and misdeeds laying heavily upon him, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts for a torturous eighth year. He finds himself unrequitedly in love with Harry Potter and at odds with everyone around him, even the bricks. While navigating the post-war world, he is forced to decide both who he is and what he wants.

Summary
Getting hit with the full force of the prince’s attention is addicting and Simon absolutely loves that he is the only person who gets that Wille, everyone gets the Crown Prince, but he is the only one who gets to have the prince, to be wrapped in that intensity and to be had by him.
And this is a problem for Simon—because every time he sees his boyfriend walking around in all of his commanding, silently demanding, princely glory, he can’t get his mind out of the gutter.
—
Or, Simon is loosing his mind over how hot he finds Wille’s newfound confidence.
Some post season 2 speculation and smut for anyone (like me) who loved Wilhelm’s revenge era.
