Title: All the Time in the World
Author: gracerene
Pairing(s): Draco/Harry, past Harry/Ginny & Draco/Astoria
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~5,660
Content/Notes: epilogue compliant, past relationship, getting back together, past time travel, pining, caretaking, cooking, mild self-consciousness, blow jobs, anal fingering, intergluteal
Summary: It's been two weeks since Draco—his Draco—came back into his life, and Harry wants.
Author's Notes: This is a sequel to my Drarry time travel fic, A Matter of Time, and I recommend reading that fic first, as I'm not sure this one really works well as a stand-alone.

Happy birthday, icarusinflight! I started this fic back in November 2019, with the intention of posting it for your birthday in 2020, but alas, life interfered! Terribly bad form, gifting you a sequel to a fic I wrote & posted over three years ago and which you've probably almost entirely forgotten, but I have a long and storied history of gifting people weird and inappropriate fics! You've been such a wonderful light in fandom and when you were so enthusiastic and lovely about A Matter of Time when it posted, I immediately got this little plot bunny of a follow-up to the fic. I do hope you like it—sorry it's so abysmally late!

Thanks so much to my beta shiftylinguini and my brit-picker writcraft, who both conveniently know the birthday Le quite well and gave great feedback! <3

Happiest of birthdays to my dear, dear friend, writcraft! You are truly wonderful and I am so grateful to have you in my life! Besides being a wonderful friend and human being, your contributions to fandom have been truly amazing and inspiring, so I thought that this year, instead of gifting you fic, I'd create something a little different to show my endless appreciation for all that you do!

You have become such a dear, dear friend over the years and I'm so grateful to have  you in my life! Besides being a wonderful friend and human being, your contributions to fandom have been truly amazing, so I thought that this year, instead of gifting you fic, I'd create something a little different to show my endless appreciate for all that you do!

Writ's Fanlore Page

You've mentioned before how cool it would be to have a fanlore page of your own, and I had so much fun scouring through your fannish history to try and craft something that does justice to all the things you've done in fandom! I did my best, but I'm sure I've forgotten something or possibly got a detail wrong--let me know and I can edit! All the thanks to torino10154for providing valuable insight to you and all things Snarry, to dicta_contrion for her invaluable wordsmithing and content feedback, and to shiftylinguini & silveredsound who helped confirm some details for me.

Title: Bitter. Sweet. Alive.
Author: gracerene
Pairing(s): Draco/Harry, Harry/Ginny
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~6,700
Content/Warnings: past relationship, infidelity, drinking, pubs & clubs, stag do, blow jobs, rimming, some dirty talk, anal sex, bottom harry, implied switching, bittersweet ending
Summary: Tomorrow, everything is going to change, but they still have tonight.
Author's Notes: Happy half-birthday, malenkayacherepakha!! I was too impatient to wait another 6 months before gifting this to you, so here we are. Continuing my tradition of writing people very non-traditional birthday gifts, I present this fic whose working title was "The One Where Drarry Isn't Endgame" though, despite that title, I actually don't think it's all that sad or angsty. I've so enjoyed getting to know you better over the past several months, and this fic was inspired by several conversations and comments that we've had about these characters we adore so much. I know you share my love of complex themes and dynamics, and I really hope you like it!

Thank you so much to nerdherderette and writcraft for all their help with this fic! <3

Title: Make Your Move
Author: gracerene
Pairing: Albus Severus/Draco
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~2,600
Content/Warnings: post-hogwarts, boss/employee relationship, blow jobs, intergluteal sex, semi-public!sex
Summary: They both might be consenting adults, but Albus still needs to be the one who makes the first move.
Author's Notes: Happy, happy birthday, shiftylinguini, most evasive of noodles! As you know, my writing muse has been most uncooperative of late and I didn't think I'd manage a fic for you, but in our recent conversation about abandoned WIPs and Snippets that we couldn't bare to part with, I mentioned this Dralbus outtake of mine that was ancient and probably terrible, and you told me most emphatically that there was no way it was awful! That was your first mistake. It's entirely your fault that I spent the past few days tinkering with it, adding an ending and beginning and trying to make it slightly less terrible (no promises!) so I figured it was only right that I gift it to you for your birthday! Anyway, you're welcome, and I hope your day and the coming year are wonderful. ;)

About half of this fic started out as a deleted scene from one of the very first fics I ever wrote back in 2014, Now It’s Your Choice (seriously, it's the second fic I ever posted), which means this has been languishing for 5+ years. It's been heavily reworked, but you might notice some slight similarities to the original.

Title: Unconventional
Author: gracerene
Pairing: Hermione/Millicent, mention of past Hermione/Ron and Hermione/Others
Rating: Mature
Word Count: ~1,450
Content/Warnings: established relationship, letters, non-traditional relationships, implied sexual content, older characters
Summary: Hermione never realised she could feel like this about another person.
Author's Notes: Happy birthday, lovely icarusinflight! Technically it's not quite your birthday yet where I live, but since it's *your* birthday, I figured I should go by when it is where *you* live. ;) I had something completely different planned for you but my muse has been a fickle bitch lately and it was just not cooperating. :( But I know how much you love femslash in general (and Hermione/Millicent in particular) and I figured writing you a quick little something based on one of the prompts for this month's hpfemslash-minifest (since you help mod it) would be a nice compromise. You are so very lovely and supportive, and I truly hope you enjoy this one! <33

Thanks so much to writcraft for the quick once-over! <3

Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~3,000
Content/Warnings: Quidditch, Auror Ron, Ministry Worker Cormac, shower!sex, bisexual Ron, hand jobs, hate!sex (only not really, more like… antagonistic!sex?)
Summary: Given what happened after last month's match, Ron wasn't taking any chances.
Notes: Happiest of birthdays, lovely amorette! I love you so much, I wrote Rormac for you, so I hope you appreciate my sacrifice! ;) Hopefully I didn't totally butcher them, LOL. You are such an awesome, fun, delightful human being, and I love talking fandom and kink and beauty and business with you! You are the best, and I hope your birthday is amazing. ♥

Thanks a billion to capitu and nerdherderette for reading this one over for me! ♥

Happy half-birthday writcraft! You are one of my very favourite people and I cannot tell you how glad I am to have had the chance to get to know you over the past several years. You are so funny, kind, talented, wicked smart, and a truly wonderful friend. As a token of my sincere affection, I thought I'd gift you this little fucked-up bit of angst, because what better way to show somebody you care than to hurt the characters we both adore? Apparently I'm incapable of gifting somebody a normal fic, but given your love of darker themes, I really hope this hits the spot! Thank you for being an amazing human being and for always being around when I need a friend. ♥

Title: What I Do to You
Author: gracerene
Pairing: Draco/Harry, background Ron/Hermione, mentions of past Harry/Ginny
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~9,200
Content/Warnings: Alternating POV, Post-Second War with Voldemort, Auror Training, fucked-up Harry, issues of self-worth, some suicide ideation, PTSD, Harry and Draco are not dealing with their issues well (especially Harry), unhealthy coping mechanisms, Christmas (but not really in a happy way), hate!sex, semi-public!sex, floor!sex, consent issues/dubious consent, anal sex, rough sex, face-fucking, open/ambiguous/angsty ending
Summary: These days, apathy fogs Harry's mind. Malfoy's the only one who makes Harry feel anything at all. Harry doesn't really care that the feelings aren't good ones. He deserves it.

Notes: Thank you so much to the brilliant firethesound for reacting with enthusiastic grabby hands when I sent her the warnings for this fic and shamelessly begged politely asked if she'd be willing to beta it for me. And thank you as well to the equally brilliant birdsofshore for brit-picking and flailing. ♥

This fic was heavily inspired by Season 6 Buffy and her relationship with Spike. As such, the title for this fic is inspired by the below dialogue:

Spike: Do you even like me?

Buffy: Sometimes.

Spike: But you like what I do to you.

[Spike holds up a pair of handcuffs.]

Spike: Do you trust me?

Buffy: Never.

Title: Bundled
Author: gracerene
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~4,600
Content/Warnings: Auror partners, fake/pretend relationship, undercover as a couple, shared bed, masturbation, anal fingering, implied bottom!draco, inspired by art
Summary: Harry thought pretending to be Draco's lover during their newest case would be the strangest thing to happen to him this week. He was wrong.
Notes: Happy (belated) birthday, lovely anokaba! I know I'm a month overdue, but I hope you'll forgive me. I figured posting today, on International Fanworks Day, would be a good compromise. :D I wanted to write you a little something as a thank you for the beautiful illustrations you created for my fic in the 2018 Harry/Draco Big Bang, and I thought to myself, what better way to thank you for creating such wonderful art for my fic, than to try and write some fic inspired by your amazing art? There was a treasure trove of inspiration to choose from, but I ended up going with your piece, The Bundling Bed (NSFW) which immediately filled me with half a dozen possibilities upon viewing. Thanks again, anokaba, for being an awesome big bang buddy (not to be confused with a bang buddy)—I hope you enjoy this little ficlet, and I hope you have/are having a brilliant 2019! ♥

Thanks to capitu & unicornsandphoenix for their brilliant help in polishing this up! <3

Title: Find This Feeling
Author: gracerene
Pairing: Ginny Weasley/Alicia Spinnet, Harry/Ginny, mention of past Alicia/OFCs
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~27,600
Content/Warnings: Quidditch, off-screen het sex, break-ups, self-discovery, Discovering/coming to terms with one's sexuality, queer female characters, parties, drinking, pubs, pining, first times, cunnilingus, oral sex, vaginal fingering, tattoos, piercings (nipple & facial)
Summary: Ginny has everything she ever wanted: a lovely (if small) flat in the City, a wonderful boyfriend to share it with, and most importantly, her dream job as a reserve Chaser with the Holyhead Harpies. She thinks she's got life all figured out, until a new friendship forces her to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about herself.
Notes: Happy (belated) birthday lovely anemonen! I actually had this finished by your real birthday, but as you know, I decided to wait a bit to post since your AMAZING H/D Erised gift posted that day. :) Getting to meet you just a little over a year ago now was such a delight, and I can't tell you how much our conversations this past year have meant to me. You are such a smart, kind, wonderful person, and it's a joy to share a fandom with you. I am so in love with your fanart and the true gift you have at capturing facial details and expressions that make the works come to life. You deserve ALL the nice things, and I hope this might be one of them. During last year's Snowflake Challenge you casually mentioned you'd love some plotty and deep diving femslash, and that you were open to different pairings…. Well, I hope you meant it! I hope you enjoy, and I hope 2019 is your best year yet! ♥

Thanks to capitu, incarusinflight, & writcraft for being the best kind of humans and looking this over for me! <3

Title: Give Us This Day
Author: gracerene
Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Gawain Robards, some Harry/Draco feelz
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~3,450
Content/Warnings: boss/employee, Auror Draco, Head Auror Robards, drinking, Firewhisky, casual sex, platonic sex, sofa!sex, pining, frottage
Summary: Draco doesn't want a boyfriend—he just wants tonight.
Notes: Happy birthday, lovely Nox! How fortuitous that your birthday is the day after Erised reveals, so that I don't have to wait to gift this to you! This year, I had the pleasure of betaing your brilliant hd-erised fic, For Thine Is The Kingdom, and though it is indisputably a Drarry fic (and a wonderful, gorgeous, sexy, romantic one at that!) it also gave me ALL the Draco/Gawain feels, which you know, because I wouldn't stop shouting at you about them while you were trying to write. I literally could not stop thinking about them, and I figured the best way to work through the abundance of feels would be to write about them. I hope you don't mind me borrowing your characters and playing in your sandbox, and I hope you enjoy this little ficlet. May you have a wonderful birthday and a brilliant 2019! <3

All the love to capitu for continuing to read all the random pairings I throw at her, and also to the amazing nerdherderette for the awesome beta and enthusiastic flailing! ♥

I do see this as an AU prequel of sorts to Nox's Drarry fic, For Thine Is The Kingdom, with this fic taking place about five years before that one. It's not necessary to have read that fic first, though I do reference events etc from it, and if you haven't read it yet, I HIGHLY suggest you drop everything you're doing and go read it immediately. You can thank me later. ;)

It was my birthday yesterday and I wanted to take a quick moment to thank everybody who reached out to me! I got a number of really lovely, sweet, touching messages from fandom friends, and they truly meant the world to me! <3

I also wanted to specifically point to the two beautifully creations that were gifted to me yesterday! Art AND Fic! I'm so lucky. :D

First we have the magnificent julchen_in_red, who created a seriously STUNNING piece of paper fanart based on my 50 Reasons ficlet, To Show Off New Lingerie (Drarry), which you can see on their tumblr, here! I am SO in awe of their amazing skills, and am beyond touched that they created something based on one of my fics!!

And then the fabulous shiftylinguini wrote this wonderfully sexy bit of Draco/James Sirius, forget what I need, give me what I want (and it should be fine) that was just as clever and engaging and hot as one would expect from such a talented writer!

Everybody should definitely check both of those pieces out and give them both ALL the love because they are kind and talented and supportive and wonderful and definitely made my birthday that much brighter. ♥

Title: First Date
Author: gracerene
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~2,000
Content/Warnings: sequel, first date, anal fingering, anal sex, bottom!draco, implied switching
Summary: There's no point in waiting some arbitrary number of dates to have sex with somebody if you've slept with them before you've even had your first date...right?
Notes: This fic was written for the lovely Crayon9, who requested a sequel to Paratrooping (aka Bangin' For Roof) that showed their first date. It's not necessary for you to have read that fic first, but I definitely would recommend it. :D Thanks so much for the prompt, Crayon9, and for all of your wonderful, encouraging comments on my fics over the years. I super appreciate it, and I hope you have an amazing birthday! <3

A million kudos to capitu and unicornsandphoenix for their fabulous help with this fic!

I'm baaaaaack! It's been ages since I've posted a Draco/Harry fic and even longer since I posted one of my 50 Reasons To Have Sex -- Bonus Ficlets but I'm here today with BOTH!

Title: Fuck/Kiss/Fight/Love
Author: gracerene
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~5,900
Content/Warnings: second person POV, alternating POV, some club!fic, alley!sex, semi-public!sex, mutual hand jobs, arguments
Summary: A relationship across four seasons.
Notes: This doesn't *quite* fit into the theme of "Reasons to Have Sex" but I'm sticking it in this series since technically it was written for one of the bonus prompts I received for it (ages ago, I'm sorry!) and there is technically some sex in it, though not nearly as much as one might expect from me/this series. This was a bit of a challenging prompt for me, and it took me a while to really settle into what I wanted to write for it, but once it came to me it just poured out. A little different/experimental compared to most of my other work, but I hope you enjoy lovely PhoenixPixie! You've been such an amazing supporter of all of my fanfic, and I so, so appreciate all of your amazing comments. Happiest of half-birthdays, my dear!

Thanks so much to capitu, as always, for her lovely thoughts and encouragement, and to lq_traintracks, queen of second person POV, for looking this one over for me!

Title: Someday
Author: gracerene
Pairing: Draco/Harry, mention of Ginny/OMC and past Ginny/Harry
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~4,350
Content/Warnings: Harry POV, established relationship, angsty introspection, mentions of past child abduction, implied sexual content
Summary: The thing is, Harry is happy, or mostly happy anyway, and never more so than when he’s with Draco. Sometimes, when they're together, Draco's hands sliding through his hair as he reads or his fingers bruising Harry's hips as their bodies move as one, Harry forgets, if only for a moment, that his son is gone. Harry isn't sure how to feel about that.
Notes: Happy half-birthday, mxlfloydraco! You were one of the first people in the Drarry fandom I followed on tumblr, and you continue to be such a wonderful and bright spot in the HP fandom. I really appreciate your thoughtful posts and the way you see the characters, and the comments you've left on my fics have really meant a lot to me. I especially appreciate your love and enthusiasm for Jeddy, and particularly the fic I posted last year, The Hidden Side. It was a bit of an out-there idea, and I didn't expect it to get as much love as it did, and it really made my week to see how much you enjoyed it. I wanted to gift you a little something from that 'verse, and though I'd set out to write some Griff and Teddy goodness for you, this is what came out instead. Again, maybe a bit weird for a gift!fic (that seems to be my thing), but I think the overall theme is hopeful, and I know you enjoyed Harry and Draco in the story, so I hope you like it! Shockingly, this does not contain any porn. I apologize in advance. ;)

This is a Harry POV timestamp from The Hidden Side and it takes place the evening after brunch at the Burrow in Chapter 6. It doesn't really work all that well as a stand-alone, so I'd recommend reading The Hidden Side first to understand the context of this fic.

Title: Magic Inside Us
Author: gracerene
Pairing: Albus Severus/James Sirius, mention of Scorpius/OFC, past (casual) Albus Severus/Scorpius, James Sirius/Lily Luna, & James Sirius/OFCs
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~3,400
Content/Warnings: sibling incest, drunk sex, struggling with sexuality, some mild internalised homophobia, blow jobs, anal fingering, blink-and-you'll-miss-it feels for James Sirius/Teddy
Summary: Albus looks at James appraisingly, and there's a glint in his eye that makes James's gut bubble with nerves. Nothing good has ever come of that look.
Notes: Happiest of belated birthdays lovely x_melodic_x! I hope you can see now why I had to wait a bit before posting this one, as I didn't want to completely give the game away with regards to my hp_nextgen_fest submission. I'd been dithering for ages over what to write you, and in the end, I decided finishing up this 'verse might be a good gift. You've been such a lovely friend to me over the past couple of years, and you deserve all the wonderful things! <3

Thanks to capitu for looking this over, and to lq_traintracks for her invaluable beta work and summary expertise! ♥

This fic takes place in my Magic universe and is set after Some Kind of Magic and before Magic in Our Veins, but it can definitely be read as a stand-alone.

Title: Because You Already Voided the Warranty, So You Might As Well Make It Worse

Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~3,450
Content/Warnings: Auror Partners, sex toys, mild D/s, banter, light bondage, blow jobs, facials, desk!sex, office!sex
Summary: Being a Junior Auror means getting stuck with all the crap assignments, but in this instance, it just might have worked out in Harry's favour.
Notes: Happy Birthday blithelybonny! You are such a delight, and it was wonderous getting to hang out with you earlier this year IRL. It took me awhile to figure out what direction I wanted to go with your prompt, and I hope you enjoy what I came up with. Wishing you a fabulous day and an even better year! <3

Title: The Hidden Side
Author: gracerene
Pairing: James Sirius/Teddy, background Draco/Harry, Ginny/OMC, canon pairings, past Teddy/Victoire, Draco/Astoria, Harry/Ginny
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~38,000
Content/Warnings: past child abduction, Auror Teddy Lupin, Auror partners, blow jobs, frottage, fingering, anal sex, top Teddy
Summary: Twenty years ago today, James Sirius Potter was born into this world. Four years, two months, and six days later, somebody took him.
Notes: Loveliest of Linguinis, I am so, so sorry about this. I wanted to write you a (hopefully) wonderful bit of Jeddy goodness to celebrate the most wondrous day of your birth, but my idea for a quick and quirky bit of smut snowballed into this monster. I know this is probably a slightly weird choice of fic to gift somebody, but this idea totally took over my brain, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing. All the love to you, shiftylinguini. You are an utter delight, and it's such a joy sharing fandoms with you! <3

This fic is inspired by the m/m romance novel Stranger on the Shore by Josh Lanyon. You definitely don't need to have read the book at all for this fic to make sense, though if you have, you probably have a good idea of what's coming. :D

A million and five thanks to the lovely capitu and iamisaac for all of their cheerleading and excellent beta work. ♥ ♥

Title: Because You're Bonded
Author: gracerene
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~1,650
Content/Warnings: bonding!fic, frottage, implied hung!Harry
Summary: It was the bond. It had to be.
Notes: I don't know what it is, but despite my best efforts, every time I sit down to write you a gift ficlet, lovely capitu, Harry's incredibly impressive prick never manages to make a full and glorious appearance. One day, I'm going to write you a proper ode to Harry's monster cock, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this little thing! Happy Birthday!! <3

This is a prequel fic to one of the original 50 Reasons to Have Sex fics I wrote for lauren3210, Break-Up Sex. You don't need to have read that one for this one to make sense.

Thanks to fantasyfiend09 for the wonderful beta work! ♥

Title: Back to You
Author: gracerene
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Draco/Harry, background James/Teddy, past Ginny/Harry & Draco/Astoria
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~1,100
Content/Warnings: established relationship, weddings, epilogue-compliant, a sad lack of smut
Summary: Weddings are always an emotional affair.
Notes: Lovely kerrilee75! I had a slightly different plan for your birthday fic. Originally, it was also supposed to double as a 50 Reasons bonus!ficlet, but alas, the sex just didn't happen. I know, I was shocked too! I hope you enjoy this little thing anyway, and I hope you have a very happy birthday, lovely! :D

This fic takes place about five years after the end of All of the Time. You don't need to read that fic or any of the others in the Are You Mine? series to understand this one, but it's a lot more fun if you've read the others. :D

Thanks a ton to capitu & birdsofshore for looking this one over for me! <3
