ERISED FIC CLAIM

A Soft Place to Fall

Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter | Healer x Teacher | E | ~143k

Gift for @epitomereally

All love and earnest thanks to @mossybunnytail and @dodgerkedavra for the plot wrangling, and to @tieguan for beta-ing this monstrosity and for keeping me sane and motivated!! This fic would not be the same without you <3

Tags are under the cut!

Summary:

When Harry arrives for his first year teaching at Hogwarts and is struck with a bizarre malignance, how on earth is he supposed to react when Draco Malfoy suddenly cares?

Or;

A darkness crawls out of Harry, and there's only so long he can keep it to himself.

Malfoy took Harry’s jaw in one hand and shoved him against the wall and Harry just— went. Malfoy was livid, his hand squeezing Harry’s face to the point of pain, his gunmetal eyes scouring every inch of it. Harry squirmed and jostled in Malfoy's hold, but he had gotten strong and Harry hadn’t noticed. Harry had been an Auror, he should be incapacitating Malfoy and taking off back to the safety of his rooms, victorious. His voice was a hoarse whisper through squashed lips. “I said… get the fuck… off of me, Malfoy.” Gradually, Malfoy relaxed his hand though he stayed close enough that Harry couldn’t make a break for it, wielding his wand and breathing all over Harry's skin and smelling like lemon and black pepper and wild mint.

Bound: A Soft Place to Fall by @amomorii

This fic completely captured my heart, and when Sam (the author and artist) and I worked on a different project together, I knew I wanted to bind this for him (since I was sending a copy of our other project anyway.) (PS How unfair is it when someone can create gorgeous art AND write beautiful fic? So unfair.)

Sam designed the cover, I can't take credit for it, but it was my first printed canvas cover, which I love. Well, the canvas I used wasn't technically designed for printing on, so I had to put a lot of layers of fixative spray on it, so it came out a little…rough…but I don't think it's too terrible. Looks cool, at least!

And I used glittery black endpapers because they remind me of one of the main characters. Read the fic, you'll see.

It might be March, but better late than never!

While I posted more fic in 2024 (see my 2024 year in fic) than I ever have before, I also read an absolute shitload. Below the cut are some of my favourites that were published in 2024, arranged by word count.

As always, there is an absolute wealth of talent in this fandom and the amount of goodness we have here never ceases to amaze me. The fics below all really did it for me in a number of different ways. Though my opinion is subjective, I will happily vouch for all of them. Happy reading! 📚

hey! i’m absolutely in love with the art you did of Harry and Draco escaping the burning Room of Requirements. It actually inspired a really pivotal chapter in my current WIP I have on ao3. can i share your art along with the chapter? i will of course credit you, i’m not even entirely sure if i can upload images on ao3 ? but if I can, is it okay to upload the images directly on there with credit to your name and a link to the original post, or would you prefer I simply link the original post? either one is totally fine, whatever you prefer (fellow digital artist here)

emerselds asked:

hi hi i just finished reading a soft place to fall and must i say, you are not only an incredibly talented artist, but also an amazing writer, too?! What I especially adore is harry and draco's dynamic throughout the story. I've read lots and lots of different stories of the two, and it physically hurts me when Harry continues to hurt himself. He has already gone through so much during his childhood, it's practically canon for him to come out of the war not without being unscathed. And then there's Draco, who makes it his mission to take care of him. (Healing love is my favorite trope...). There's a balance that comes with maintaining a relationship, and as who individuals who used to be enemies, that balance is precarious. (After reading a story that tipped over the scale, I think I've been traumatized a little bit... too much angst for me haha) Harry and Draco have both been through a lot, but I like to think that their coming together is like...realizing what you never knew you needed, yet you can no longer live without. I think it's so sweet that Hydrus, a manifestation of Harry's childhood trauma, finds comfort in Draco (even before Harry himself). It's like Harry finding Draco as his safe place was bound to happen because Draco takes care of him like no one else can, as a lover who understands his struggles without Harry articulating what he wants or needs to say. Also Harry and Draco taking care of Hydrus as their own child makes me yearn for some Drarry-parents content. Closing off with saying that this fandom is so lucky to have you. mwah mwah.

IM RESPONDING TO THIS SO LATE IM SORRY!!! thank you so much for your thoughtful words I really really do appreciate it so much 🥹 and to the point about Hydrus connecting with and finding comfort in Draco before Harry does, it's truly one of my favourite things about ASPTF. Like, Harry's id, his base desires, all his vulnerable bits seek out Draco and akdks it makes me a little crazy!! The technical reason for it that I never explained is wandlore stuff with their magic being connected/compatible because of Harry using Draco's wand, but there is, ofc, always more to it than that with them. They're always seeking each other out 🙂‍↕️ and yesss healing love is my favourite aswell, they've earned it!!

Thank you so so much again ❤️❤️❤️

praline-elegy asked:

Between Draco and Harry, who do you think makes the first move in getting into a relationship? Who do you think is interested in the other first? What would their first date be like?

Avatar

ooooooh ok interesting!! I think it heavily depends on the story as to who would make the first move (and in fact, all of these Q's, but I'll have a go), but I tend to see (/prefer) Harry being a bit more confident about it whereas Draco is more reticent because he'd be less likely to believe that Harry could possibly want him. He's experienced such a crushing fall from grace after the war and would absolutely find it hard to believe that Harry of all people would be into him. As I wrote in A Soft Place to Fall:

Draco stood slowly, mind still caught on thoughts of Harry’s eyes on his lips, and what exactly to do with that information. Nothing. Draco would do nothing with this information, because he was very sensible and his ego was incredibly fragile.

Saying that, I think Draco catches feelings first. The way he picks on Harry is like a kid pulling his crushes pigtails. He experienced rejection at 11 and never let it go because??? Like, idk I think you get over that unless you fancy him at least a little, and then it just gets WORSE as the years go by and then Harry has to go and save his life multiple times and by then Draco is already so down bad and resigned himself to the world's most ridiculous and implausible crush.

Their first date could truly be anything. They probably end up going on a few dates without realise they're even doing it, just getting comfortable with each other enough to hang out alone and they're both stupid and pining and their gazes are lingering too long and they're probably huddled at the back of a muggle pub where noone will recognise them and neither of them are acknowledging how devastatingly intimate it is! As for a planned date where they're both in the know, depends who organises it! Harry would probably take them to the same muggle pub for lack of any better ideas and because he likes his routine, his anonymity, and the comfort of that familiarity. Draco would probably go a little bit insane trying to figure out what the hell he's going to do and end up with something exorbitantly lavish that Pansy could not coax him out of. And when he sees Harry uncomfortable and tugging at the collar of his stuffy robes in this stuffy restaurant? He pays the bill and takes him to the pub.
