The Difference Between a Cat and a Comma (HP - Drarry)
Eighth year at Hogwarts is going to be boring. That's what Draco Malfoy thinks when the Wizengamot makes attendance a condition of his pardon. After all, after letting Death Eaters into the school, failing to kill his headmaster, and being forced to serve a homicidal madman, how could finishing up his education *possibly* be interesting?Answer: a coveted Transfigurations advanced study position, Minerva Mcgonagall's surprising fondness for him, thestrals, tea with Hagrid, tutoring Harry Potter, Granger and Weasley's excessive PDA, and the perplexing nature of sleight-of-hand double-dates with Harry, Luna, and Ginny. And then, of course, there's righteously indignant (if misinformed) Weasley, Draco's own insecurities and flair for dramatics, and a long-suffering Kingsley Shacklebolt.If I can work in tie-switching and Great Hall relationship reveal I will, because those are some of my very favorite tropes.

Inexorable Tide and Pounding Surf
This is a rewritten and expanded story based on the earlier one-shot of the same name, which has now been renamed Tide & Surf, to reduce confusion. It now includes drarry, and follows Harry's journey from the end of his relationship with Ginny to the beginning of his relationship with Draco. :-)Summary: After a lifetime of war, Harry searches for something he can't quite define. His journey takes him all the way to Northern California, to the rocky shore of the Pacific Coast, where he finds what he was searching for - if not what he expected.A story of endings and beginnings, of loss and letting go and moving on. Of the pull of gentle hope and despair, and a quiet, bone-deep strength. Of peace.Notes: An odd little story; a love letter to the place I live, and a testament to how the power of the ocean and the trees can heal the heart and soul. Told through Harry's eyes, beginning with the end of Hinny and ending with the beginning of drarry, because I love drarry nearly as much as I love where I live.
Defying Gravity
Written for the drarry chat drabble prompt for Week 2: animagus drarryRumor has it that McGonagall has a special project for the eighth year transfiguration students. Rumor has it that Pansy Parkinson is especially fond of eclairs. Rumor has it that Draco Malfoy is especially fond of Potter...
What Fools These Mortals Be
A mysterious banner shows up in the Great Hall, sending the castle into a furor of speculation. What is it? Why is it there? What do the tally marks that keep appearing on it mean?

A Crown that Seldom Kings Enjoy
Harry Potter is a little bit confused and a lot in denial. And even more an idiot. Luckily, the truth hits him like a ton of bricks (with a little help from Pansy) before his entire 8th year is ruined.Or, Harry Potter is in love with Draco Malfoy, and he really thinks this should bother people more than it does.I wrote this entirely by accident, when I was meant to be writing something completely different. In any case, hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.The title is, of course, from Shakespeare: "My crown is in my heart, not on my head; Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to be seen: my crown is called content: A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy."Feel free to come say hi on tumblr: https://whimsicaldragonette.tumblr.com/
19 Years: Assorted One-shots & Follow-ups
A collection of related one-shots and follow-ups from my 19 Years!verse.

Love is a Battlefield (Yuri!!! On Ice - Otayuri)
2 years later, Yuri Plisetsky has a crush on his best friend that he's determined to ignore. Mila is determined to meddle. Yuri overhears a conversation between Mila and Beka that leaves him feeling betrayed. Before he can confront them, he has to leave to nurse his sick Grandpa and his own broken heart. When Beka shows up at Grandpa's door, Yuri doesn't know what to think. Pining with a happy ending.The title and chapter titles are all song titles - songs that I felt are appropriate to the chapters / work and that I think Yuri would listen to. For some reason I headcanon him listening to a lot of 80s big hair bands - maybe it's his fashion sense ;-)In any case, I will post each song at the top of its respective chapter. (There will be 7 chapters)I've created a youtube playlist of the songs referenced that can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJxgISizrEY1GTvh3_--m9qmGS6RdP6XSOr, if you prefer, on google play here: https://play.google.com/music/playlist/AMaBXymMXvNGJvbYu-kjhH_QqPK05RCfLNb74FBoj6NKy9po3mwVgOT4S3MMaVdIWC5sBVpWBXIxOnFYXZTa58qOteYqNJ_oVA==

Slightly crack-y.Written for Otayuri Week Day 1: Confessions / First Times
