HD-Remix 2021 Final Weekly Roundup

Sun, 14 Nov 2021 22:47:19 GMT

Posted by: hd_remix_mod

With these fics, it’s a wrap for the 2021 HD-Remix fest!

Total fest word count: 259,939!

The full participant list can be found here (in case you’re interested in guessing who wrote what) and on Monday we will post the complete anonymous masterlist, as well as some additional stats and thank yous :)

Forest, for the Trees (G | 2K)

remix of In a dark quiet place by itsjamethyst (T | 2K)
The Forbidden Forest has mostly settled down since the chaotic battle of Hogwarts less than a year ago. But the trees are curious about the fearful young wizard who leaves the castle each night, drawn to the border of the Forest, slowly gathering the courage to enter. Then another troubled young wizard comes crashing through the woods in the darkness. Together perhaps these two can find what they’re looking for (with a little help from their fronds).
.

Uncle Harry and the Overly Wise Six-Year-Old (T | 2K)

remix of Harriet Evans and the Happily Ever After by lower_east_side (G | 2K)
Rose Granger-Weasley knows how the fairy tale should go. Shouldn’t Harry get a happily ever after?
.

Captivated (E | 8K)

remix of Captivating by digthewriter (G | ART)
Five times Harry cried, plus one time Draco did too.
.

The Coldest of Days (E | 55K)

remix of December Never Felt So Wrong by maesterchill (E | 50K)
At thirty-one, Harry Potter finally has it all: four incredible children, a naughty Niffler named Penny, and a brilliant boyfriend who has managed to fill the hole in his heart.
But because Harry is Harry, chaos is bound to follow. On a cold December morning, Draco wakes up with no memory of the war, his children, or his life with Harry.
That, and he’s insisting that he’s been thrown fifteen years into the future.
.

Of Mirrors, Myths, and Men (E | 5K)

remix of Into the Potter-Verse by veelawings (E | 5K)
After years of renovations on the Manor, Draco has one room left: the Ballroom. Harry Potter’s repair skills come highly recommended. But from the moment Potter stepped foot in the Manor, something burned between them, far more compelling than Draco could have ever anticipated.
.

melodies pure and true (T | 3K)

remix of Hope | It’s Okay to Not Be Okay | (from Draco’s POV) by janieohio (T | 9K)
Orphaned at one, Saviour of the wizarding world at seventeen, single dad to Teddy Lupin at twenty-three, Harry Potter has had so many things happen in his short life. But he’s never lost hope. That changes when Teddy goes to Hogwarts.
This is the story of how Draco Malfoy fell in love with him.
.

break my heart, set me free (T | 4K)

remix of Overground/Underground by onbeinganangel (T | 1K)
It will take Harry—impulsive, brave, and heartsick—to force Draco and Astoria to face the reality of their unhappy relationship. Can Astoria’s broken heart give her the courage to leave? Can Harry wait for Draco to admit his feelings for Harry are more than platonic? Can Draco forgive himself for hurting the two people he loves?
A story about heartbreak, letting go, and what it means to love.
.

Touch Me (E | 1K)

remix of Heal Me by greenmegsnoham (E | 10K)
Listening to his roommate—Harry Potter!—wanking every night would have driven Draco spare by now were it not for his diligent use of silencing charms. Unfortunately for him, he forgot to set them tonight.
Or not so unfortunately.
It seems to work out rather well for him in the end.
.

Living for a dream…loving for a moment (M | 10K)

remix of One of His Few Treasures by timothysboxers (M | 4K)
Harry’s feelings for Draco have always been the one thing he couldn’t control. It’s always been Draco; Always. But the relationship in reality is far more than Harry hoped, and that terrifies him more than he’d ever imagined.
.

Unsubtle (G | 1K)

remix of Just Stay by ANW815 (M | 3K)
Harry has never been subtle.
He’s never tried to be, either. People have called him—in endearment and insult—too headstrong and too loud, too impulsive and too sarcastic. He wears the names proudly on his sleeve, and goes on behaving exactly how he likes.
Sometimes it’s inconvenient, though. Like with Draco.
.

Raspberry Sundaes and Sunflower Bouquets (T | 5K)

remix of Love in Three Parts by static_abyss (M | 24K)
Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter are pretend boyfriends. Pansy and Blaise are so done.
Featuring some hurt/comfort, some tender boys and Draco not giving a shit about society.

.
can’t put this feeling into words (M | 2K)

remix of Feels how it feels to feel by fwooshy (T | 593)

Harry visits Malfoy in Azkaban.
“The fuck are you here for, Potter?”
“Wanted to see if you still had your soul and all,” Harry mutters. “I thought one of the Dementors here might try and kiss you.”
Malfoy huffs out a laugh and starts coughing and hacking up shit, sounding real awful.
Awful in that way that makes you want to laugh, too. Then you feel guilty about laughing later.

.

Can’t Hide From The Sun (E | 1K)

remix of Wolves by hogwartsfirebolt (M | 1K)

Malfoy was gorgeous, he was mate, and Harry was tired of telling himself that he didn’t want.
He craved.

.

what if, but if, we could kiss (and just cut the rubbish) (E | 10K)

remix of Into the Potter-Verse by veelawings (E | 5K)

“Christ, Draco, get your mouth back on me, I need you, oh God, Jesus fucking Christ,” and Draco can’t help how he shivers, the words dripping down his spine like molasses, sticky sweet blasphemous prayers in the heat of the moment. It’s enough to bring him closer to the edge, and when Harry spills down his throat, hot and bitter and musky, Draco comes with a muffled cry, his cock spurting weakly as he spills all over the floor.
(Later, Harry will tease him, will whisper Christ, Malfoy, look at you, so hot for me, Jesus and Draco will come undone a second time, shaking in the safe bracket of Harry’s arms around him.)
OR: Draco and Harry are not-quite-friends, but then they are. it is A Time. Ron just wishes he had bleach.

HD-Remix 2021 Weekly Roundup #2

Fri, 05 Nov 2021 21:02:06 GMT

Posted by: hd_remix_mod

So many more amazing remixes to be had during our second week of festing! There's one more exciting week to go before we finish posting on Sunday, November 14.

If you haven't caught up yet, use this roundup as your handy reading list :)

As always, you don’t have to read the originals first - you can just dive straight into the remixes. But the originals are great, so if you have time, we recommend them!

The Man With the Koi Fish Tattoo (E | 9K)

remix of Sensitivities by sugareey (E | ART)

Draco was told to watch for the man with the koi fish tattoo. Of course, as with a lot of things in his life that had involved Potter, it was more complicated than he first expected.

All Will Be Well (E | 6K)

remix of All is Well by aminathescorpio (M | 2K)

Harry was possessive and controlling. Watching and planning Draco's every move. But Draco knew this wasn't the real Harry. This was a Harry poisoned by a darkness that had overpowered anything bright, blissful, and good. Draco hated and loved him.
He knew better than to try and leave again. Running off to the Manor had been a mistake, even if it was in an attempt to find a way to help Harry. Draco's mother paid the ultimate price in front of his very eyes. But Draco had not given up on Harry. There had to be a way to banish the darkness that had consumed him.
Thanks to Hermione's careful planning, Harry's attempt to Obliviate Draco (for him to forget ever wanting to leave Harry and the murder of his mother) had not succeeded, but for Draco to survive he would have to pretend that he did. After months of being hidden away, Draco finally reconnects with Hermione for a final attempt to save the man he loved and the love they once had.
All was not well. But it would be.

Consummāre (M | 1K)

remix of Transsubstantiato by glittering_git (M | 516)

Harry isn't a martyr, but he'll receive Draco's devotion anyway.

Little Star (Be My Anchor Remix) (M | 40K)

remix of Be My Anchor by maraudersaffair (E | 11K)

Ever since the end of the war Draco Malfoy has been scratching a living as a sex worker. He lives on the margins of society in squalid rooms and doesn't imagine that his life will ever change. Then, after a couple of years, Draco becomes pregnant by an unknown client. Despite the Healers at St Mungo's treating him with prejudice and contempt, Draco is determined to keep his baby. In his desperation, Draco approaches the wrong person and the result is disastrous. Draco is beaten up and left for dead in an alleyway. As Draco hovers between life and death, Harry Potter discovers his bruised and battered body.
The Saviour doesn't only save Draco's life. He takes Draco back to Grimmauld Place and helps him to recover.

before the bond (T | 4K)

remix of A Different Kind of Heat by themightyflynn (T | 12K)

After the trials, Draco steps away from the magical world and moves to an idyllic villa in France, ready for a fresh start.
Until the kiss, that is.

Of all the promises I broke (G | 2K)

remix of Rose Trees by nerakrose (G | 2K)

Harry wasn't sure he knew how to keep promises.
Draco shows him he doesn't have to be afraid to make new ones.
It takes decades but maybe Harry can be ok with breaking one more.

An Unexpected Courtship (E | 8K)

remix of An Expensive Courtship by anaxandria (E | 11K)

Harry and Draco have been friends for years, so Harry is a little confused when Draco starts asking him to dinner and art studios. He thinks maybe there's something between them, but Draco seems so uncomfortable when they are alone together.
Meanwhile, Draco thinks he's being really obvious in his courtship. Can these idiots in love find a way to communicate with one another?

I'll wait (even though I want you now) (M | ART)

remix of Brick by Brick by agentmoppet (E | 8K)

After numerous meetings at the club and late night conversations on the rooftop overseeing the streets of London, Draco goes home with Harry one night and finally gives into what they've both been wanting for the last few weeks.

Distilled (T | 5K)

remix of Lights on the River by DoubleApple (T | 1K)

Harry walks through the halls of Grimmauld Place for the last time. Unable to forget, and maybe never wanting to.
But as the Grandfather clock strikes two, the door shutting closed behind him, Harry knows that he must get what he wants, and Harry has always wanted Draco.

Desert Rose (Sex On The Beach Remix) (T | 1K)

remix of Desert Rose by Albuss (T | 824)

There are things about Draco that Harry doesn't understand.

And History Repeats (M | 9K)

remix of The Rest Is History by Tedah (G | 4K)

A freak potions accident leaves Teddy lost in time. Good thing Harry and Malfoy are there to save him. If only Harry could stop screwing everything up...

i carry your heart in mine (M | 1K)

remix of Blush by Floydig (T | 226)

No one hurts my beautiful Harry.

HD-Remix 2021 Weekly Roundup #1

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 17:28:30 GMT

Posted by: hd_remix_mod

Our first week of festing produced so many fantastic remixes!

We're going to be posting weekly roundups on Friday afternoons so that people have a nice reading list for the weekend :)

As always, you don't have to read the originals first - you can just dive straight into the remixes. But the originals are great, so if you have time, we recommend them!

Feather (E | 36K)

remix of Untitled Veela!Draco by @swymsuyt (T | ART)

Green eyes greet Draco when he arrives at the school gates, ready to start his new job as a Hogwarts professor after spending ten years in France.
“Hey,” Potter says, waving at him as he approaches. “We weren’t expecting you until the start of term.”
Draco is speechless.
What the fuck is Potter doing at Hogwarts?

Snapshots of a Pregnancy (T | 4K)

remix of A Star Danced by @ladderofyears (E | 66K)

Draco, star Seeker for Puddlemere United, did not plan on getting pregnant with Harry Potter’s baby in a one-night stand (or, as Harry referred to it the morning after — “a mistake”).
But Draco’s pregnancy affects more than just his body and his relationship with Harry, it also touches the people in their lives.
These are their perspectives.

both that morning equally lay (T | 4K)

remix of Auror Conley On The Case by @Frenchmarshmalloww (T | 3K)

Head Auror Potter takes every case seriously, but some cases are personal. When Scorpius Malfoy goes missing, Harry can't help but be involved, but he'll need to move beyond past regrets and embrace his present.

touch me with the lights off (and my chains on) (E | 7K)

remix of choke me like you hate me (but you love me) by @swisstae (M | 3K)

He reaches out to touch Malfoy’s hair, and he ignites with a lightning strike, flames searing through his body and across his skin. His chest is not full of soot after all. The other man looks at him, grey eyes opaque as the cloudy evening sky.

It can be up to me. Us. (G | ART)

remix of If It Were Up To Me by @the-starryknight (T | 563)

Maybe it was just this, this certain closeness, cherished and rare.

Owl of a Sudden (T | 3K)

remix of What the Werbelande Wind Blew In by khalulu (T | 4K)

Harry has his books, his coffee shop and Draco by his side. Everything is perfect. How can a job offer undo that, and more importantly, how can a small owl called Bertilak swoop in to save the day?

Echoes (T | 5K)

remix of It’s You by @ohdrarry (E | 1K)

His name is Kier Warden, pureblood, white as fucking snow with big blue eyes and an arrogant tilt to his chin. He's got soft blonde curls and a winning smile, straight white teeth. He's perfect for the Wizengamot, the picture of abashed contrition whenever anyone turns to look at him.
"Sorry, Mr Potter," he says. "I don't know what came over me."
Except Harry knows. Because he heard the low murmur right before Warden bit him, the foul insult followed by the open disdain. He bit Harry because he can't stand that the Wizarding world loves someone who isn't perfectly white. He can't take the way the Wizarding world seemingly worships the ground Harry walks on.
Kier Warden hates him, that's why he bit him.

The Ferret's in Love (or 5 Times Draco didn't say I love you + 1 Time he did) (E | 4K)

remix of In Love With The Ferret by @Pineau-noir (E | 22K)

“And I promise, as soon as I catch up, I’ll tell you. Because you said you were mine, but I’m also yours, Harry. For as long as you want me.”
Draco had meant it too, that first time they had sex, his body sweaty and his brain still mush from his orgasm. Two months later though, after numerous dates and nights spent in each other’s beds, after dangerous cases and pub nights with more Gryffindors than he ever thought he could handle, Draco gets choked up everytime he tries to say the words that Harry longs to hear.

you killed me in the gloom (T | 2K)

remix of you killed me on the moon by @epsilonargus (E | 5K)

Having won the war, Harry returns to the Kingdom of Slytherin to lay claim to his true mate. Draco Malfoy is as beautiful as he was all those years ago. There's only one problem: he doesn't remember Harry at all.

Owl of a Sudden

author currently anonymous

3,000 (T)

Inspired by What the Werbelande Wind Blew In (4K | T) by khalulu

Harry has his books, his coffee shop and Draco by his side. Everything is perfect. How can a job offer undo that, and more importantly, how can a small owl called Bertilak swoop in to save the day?

________________________________

Author's Note:
Dear Khalulu, this was an incredibly fun challenge! It was so hard picking one of your incredible stories to remix, but in the end, I knew it had to be this one. I love it and I love your attention to detail, all the travelling and all the incredible research that goes into your fics and your very fun banterful tone that my poor angsty heart could never ever even dream to match.
I can only hope I did this one of yours justice and that you enjoy where I went with it. It was a delight to be in this universe of yours <3
Lots of love to my wonderful alpha/beta/sounding board dream duo and a million thanks to the wonderful mods for putting this fest together!

Mod Note:
We are posting the headers for this fic here because it's for khalulu, who might actually see it :)

FAQ and Rules of H/D Remix Volume 11

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 05:15:32 GMT

Posted by: hd_remix_mod

Art by upthehillart, banner by snowgall

Remix Volume 11.0 - Schedule

What is a Remix Challenge?
Remixing is taking someone else's words or art and seeing it from another angle. In a way, it is like fanfiction but written with another fanfic as "canon". A remix takes the essentials of a story or artwork and examines them from a different perspective. It uses the basic elements of an existing story or artwork and combines them in a new way to offer a different take on the plot, the characters, the situation and so on.

I am a writer. How do I remix?
If you're remixing a story, that might be achieved by altering the POV - instead of Harry's voice, we hear Draco's. Or Draco's house-elf. Or Lucius, aghast as he watches a romance unfolding between Harry and Draco. It might be the story retold from the POV of Draco's bed, or Harry's favourite armchair. The possibilities are as boundless as your imagination! Or you could alter the style; or genre; switch their occupations or rearrange the order of events, add flashbacks or deleted scenes or future scenes. If you choose a multi-chapter or very large work to remix, you can choose a chapter or scene to focus on.

If you're remixing a piece of artwork, you could tell a different backstory from the one the artist had in mind. You could explore a possible future for the characters after the scene/event/moment depicted in the artwork. You can be as creative as you want!

I am an artist. How do I remix?
If you're remixing a story you could depict a missing scene, or one that precedes or follows the story. You could depict the emotions or thoughts of a character which are not explored explicitly in the text. You could create something that envisages the story from a different perspective.

If you're remixing a piece of artwork, you could use a different medium to create a different mood, or to highlight a different emotion from the original. You could illustrate a scene from their backstory or future. You can be as creative as you want!

Additionally, we respect your right to control ownership over your art and encourage you to include your watermark on your finished fest piece. While we expect anonymity during the creation phase, once your art is posted publicly, we allow you to claim your work to help prevent art theft.

(Addendum: please note that we are not accepting digital manipulations as artwork for the fest. All artwork must be created from scratch.)

What can't I do?
You cannot change the central pairing (i.e. Harry/Draco) or the basic plot. This means that if a story, for example, is set during the boys' sixth year at Hogwarts, you can't turn it into a non-magical AU futurefic. You also cannot include any of the artist/author's listed squicks (MCD, mpreg, etc).

How do I choose what to remix?
Like last year, there are two options:

1. If you sign up for HD_Remix in the exchange (standard) format, you will be assigned an author or artist and you choose something from their masterlist to remix. Someone else will be assigned your work to choose from. If you chose to sign-up for this format, you will be part of the H/D Remix exchange.

Each participant can designate a reasonable number of works as their "safe pieces", meaning they are ineligible to be remixed. (Note that we already consider current WIPs to be ineligible for remixing as well as pieces which have previously been remixed as part of this fest). Please don't abuse this privilege - there must be plenty of fics/art for your remixer to choose from in a variety of lengths and plots.

Each participant can also designate a "starred piece" which you would most like to have remixed. Participants are under no obligation to choose the starred piece, but must not choose the safe piece(s).

2. If you sign up for HD_Remix in the individual format, you pick any Harry/Draco story or work of fanart and remix it. If you chose to sign-up for this format you will not be part of the exchange. The author/artist whose work you've chosen does not have to participate in the fest.

You do need permission from the author or artist to remix their work. Please check the author's or artist's LJ, AO3 or deviant.art etc. profile to see if they've posted a blanket permission statement. If so, that will suffice. If the author or artist does not give blanket permission to remix, you need to provide the mods with an email or PM from the creator, giving you permission to remix their work. Please ask the mods (snowgall and veelawings) if you have problems asking for or acquiring permission to remix for HD_Remix. We are happy to help you.

Who can sign up?
You are eligible to sign up if:

Exchange Format: You should have more than five Harry/Draco stories (drabbles do count, but only if you also have a longer fic [1,000+ words] to choose from, too) or pieces of art that can be remixed. Your stories and/or artwork are arranged somewhere (LJ, AO3, deviant.art ...) in a publicly available masterlist and that can be easily perused by your remixer. The five minimum pieces cannot include your 'safe piece(s)'.

OR:

Individual Format: You have a particular H/D story or art in mind that you want to remix, and you can get the permission of the author/artist to do so. If you choose this format, you need not have written any H/D stories before signing up for the Remix Fest.

How long does my remixed fic need to be? How much time and effort do I need to put in my remixed artwork?
Your creation should be at least 1000 words or the equivalent in art.

I've read it all and I want to play!
Awesome! Get ready for sign-ups on July 24!

Make sure you're watching the community so you don't miss anything!

You can also follow us on tumblr!

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out to either mod on discord or email us at hdremixmod@gmail.com.

We hope you'll join us for volume 11.0! The sign-up post will go up shortly.

Your mods,
Snowgall and VeelaWings

HD-Remix 2018, vol. 10 – Reveals and Masterlist

Fri, 15 Jun 2018 22:10:00 GMT

Posted by: vaysh

Your mods snowgall and ustorycollector wish to thank all of our wonderful artists and authors for helping us put together another great remix fest!

This year we had two participants who chose to create individual remixes: pansypxrkinson and marshview. While this means that they didn't get remixes in return, we are so grateful to them for giving us more fic and art to enjoy!

Shout out to megyal for participating in the HD-Remix fest for her EIGHTH straight year! We love you megyal! ♥

Over the next couple of days, we will be reblogging all of the previously posted fic headers and pull quotes with the authors’ names added. Stay tuned!

REMIX FIC for MEGYAL: Chaos by jadepresley

Sat, 09 Jun 2018 10:20:00 GMT

Posted by: vaysh

Title: Chaos
Author: jadepresley
Rating: T
Word Count: 2,223
Summary: Harry just needs a little chaos.
Work being remixed: Got caught in the ruse of the world by megyal
Author's Notes: Megyal, oh my gosh, I was so intimidated when I was given your name and asked to write this LOL! You are such a phenomenal author and I'm honoured to have had the chance to remix one of your stories! "Got Caught in the Ruse of the World" is such a beautiful fic, and full disclosure: I scrapped about five versions of this before I submitted it because I didn't feel like I was getting the tone you set quite right. In the end, I really just wanted to see the moments that led to your fic, and I really hope you enjoy this little prequel! <3
Thanks to the mods for being patient with me, and to C for being the best beta in the world and telling me when I'm making no sense.

REMIX ART for DRACOGOTGAME: The Alpha and his Shadow by LLAP115

Sat, 09 Jun 2018 10:05:00 GMT

Posted by: vaysh

Title: The Alpha and his Shadow
Artist: llap115
Rating: G
Summary: “Think about it, Malfoy. Just think about the odds. Considering our history, what are the chances we’d bond as wolves? Tell me that’s not hilarious.”
Draco shifted uncomfortably. “You’re not entirely unbearable as a wolf.”
“Neither are you,” Potter grinned teasingly. “As a matter of fact, you’re quite adorable.”
Work being remixed: The Wolf Pack by dracogotgame.
Artist's Notes: Dear dracogotgame,
I actually missed the sign-up date for the HD Remix fest and complained about it on the Drarry discord ;-) And the Remix mods were so lovely to think of me when they needed a pinch hitter. Gosh, I'm soooo happy I got you as my giftee. I spent 10 days devouring your fics (not all of them yet, but a really big junk). I had noticed your name in the comment sections of other Drarry fics I think - because the name is just perfect -- and just let me say: YOU ARE AN AMAAAZING WRITER!! Gaaah, I loved every fic I read and I had so many ideas! In the end I chose The Wolf Pack because it was just so fluffy (and I love fluff) and I thought that drawing animals would give me the chance to draw more than a single illustration (as they are easier than humans :D). So anyway, I fell in love with your ideas in this story and Alpha and Shadow are so cute!! I hope you like what I came up with. I tried to do your lovely story justice.
And a few thank yous:
First of all, snowgall, thank you so much for pairing me with dracogotgame and for letting me squeal at you for hours on end -- and spam you with my WIP pictures. Also, thank you for brainstorming the title with me. In the end I used a variation of our final candidate that is quite fitting, I think :)
And Sam! Thank you that I can always talk fests and ideas and plot with you - no matter what time of the day it is! I'm so looking forward to our collab ;-) Thank you for your cheerleading! It means so much to me!!!
One last thing:
Of course I know that fest submissions are anonymous until reveals. But (!) the mods were so nice to allow artists to sign their artwork and effectively post non-anon (since everyone can see the signature). This is a wonderful development for artist to fight art theft online. It's great that we can claim our artwork from the very beginning, so that when people circulate the pictures, they'll hopefully keep the signature. And other people can find back to the artist's blogs etc.

Title: Soulmark: Antlers and Ivy

REMIX FIC for DIGTHEWRITER: Kissing Draco Malfoy by germankitty

Wed, 06 Jun 2018 11:05:00 GMT

Posted by: vaysh

Title: Kissing Draco Malfoy
Author: germankitty
Rating: T
Word Count 4,844
Summary: Harry may have fantasized about kissing Malfoy for far longer than he was willing to admit. Now that he’d been given permission, so to speak, things didn’t quite work out as in his dreams. Or did they?
Work being remixed: A Halloween Excursion by digthewriter
Author's Notes: Pretty much Fluffy McFlufferson – sorry, folks!
This picks up immediately after the final scene (quoted at the beginning); you don't have to have read Dig’s original, as there are no other significant references, but I’d recommend doing it anyway – it’s good!
Dear digthewriter, you are such a prolific writer that even disregarding your WIPs and drabbles as per your request, it wasn’t easy to pick a story to remix. But as soon as I read the final three lines of this fic, I knew I had to run with it. I hope you can forgive the fact that (obviously) the boys are still a bit younger than your general preference – which is mine, too, btw – and will enjoy my flight of fancy anyway. It’s been a pleasure! Also, thanks to the mods and as usual to C, my beta extraordinaire.

Author: persephoneapple
Rating: G
Word Count: 2,133
Summary: It's been three months since Harry has spent the night with Draco. One conversation with Hermione convinces him that it's finally time to return home.
Work being remixed: The Things We Did and Didn't Do by GingerTodgers.
Author's Notes: GingerTodgers, this is the first bit of writing I've done in months and I hope you like this as much as I've enjoyed writing it. Thank you mods for all your hard work and to my beta. I've tweaked this since then, so all remaining mistakes are my own.

Author: snowgall
Rating: T
Word Count: 1,637
Summary: Harry definitely wants to pet the dragon. He thinks he might want to pet Draco too.
Work being remixed: Draco, the secret animagus by llap115
Author's Notes: LLAP, I've always been enchanted by this lovely piece of art by you, and I love the idea of Dragon!Draco. I really wanted to know how the characters in your drawing would have gotten together, so I decided to write the story. I hope you like it!
Thanks so much to oceaxe for betaing, and to ustorycollector for the britpick. I may have changed a few things since then, so all remaining mistakes are mine.
