H/D Hurtfest Fic: Here Without You (Drarry, Explicit)  
Reveals have posted for this year's [tumblr.com profile] hd-hurtfest which means I can finally claim my fic!! Fun fact, I actually outlined and wrote part of this fic wayyyy back in 2015 after listening to the song Here Without You by 3 Doors Down on a cross-country road trip. I loved the idea, but at the time I just didn't feel capable of writing the fic the way I wanted to, so I put it on the back-burner and honestly never thought I'd pick it up again. Fast forward to 2020 and I'd been toying with the idea of picking this one back up when it was announced that H/D Hurtfest would be returning, and it seemed like fate! MASSIVE thanks to those of you who gave this fic a read. I know longer fic with a MCD tag doesn't tend to be massively popular and I so appreciate those of you that read and commented. ♥


It's been seven years since the end of the Second Wizarding War with Voldemort, and a new Dark Lady has taken over in nearby Ireland. Harry feels compelled to volunteer to fight on the front lines, but war is never safe, and Harry has a lot—including his blissfully happy relationship with Draco—to lose.

Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Draco/Harry, background Ron/Hermione, implied Parvati/OMC
Word count: ~26,800
Warnings/Content: war, canon-typical violence, open/ambiguous ending, major character death, non-linear timeline, flashbacks, epistolary!fic, dirty letters, an ode to Draco's bum, bottom Draco, implied switching, Harry & Parvati friendship, Auror Harry Potter, Healer Draco Malfoy
Author's Notes: Thank you so much to [personal profile] firethesound and [personal profile] writcraft for the cheerleading, brainstorming, betaing, and all-around fabulous feedback. Thanks to the mods for resurrecting this amazingly angsty fest!

Yours is one I hadn't gotten around to (I was so bad at keeping up, especially with the longer fics). Can't wait to read it, and how satisfying to finish something you've had baking for so long. :D

Oh, thank you! That's so lovely to hear. And I'm sure I will love it - I finished Taking Chances recently and found it really entertaining. (Let's just please ignore the fact that I'm terrible at commenting. :S)
