The primary purpose of this community is to host the Harry/Draco Big Bang. We will be hosting a Reverse Big Bang for the Harry/Draco pairing in 2022.

Harry/Draco Reverse Bang 2022 MASTERLIST

This masterlist is the final round-up of the Harry/Draco Reverse Bang 2022. Please do check out the full list of all the works that posted as part of the fest below!

We hope you have enjoyed this fabulous fest and all the gorgeous art and the art-inspired Drarry fic that’s been produced as part of it. And remember, it’s never too late to leave comments and love on the works by any of our creators! THANK YOU to all of our participants for sharing your creations with us, THANK YOU to the readers and reccers who give people the boost to write in the first place, and THANK YOU to everyone who has helped hype, promote, proof, alpha read, beta read, brit pick, pinch hit or has in any way been involved in helping us bring this fest to life.

On that note, we’re going to go and have a cuppa. Much love.

Your Reverse Bang mods @writcraft and @gracerene

when I look at you, everything else fades away, my second piece for the HD Reverse Bang 2022 @harrydracobang . It inspired the most gorgeous fic, written by the brilliant @slyth-princess

It has been 10 years since Draco Malfoy stepped foot in London. In truth, he would have been happy to never be here again. But when your best friend since birth decides to get married and wants you by his side it isn't as if you can refuse. No matter who you might run into. Get in, get out, and never look back. He's sure he'll be fine.
Harry Potter has always been good about locking away feelings he couldn't deal with. As long as he didn't have to face them he could very easily pretend they never happened. So how was he going to handle seeing a man he had once thought could be his everything for the first time in a decade. Spoiler alert, it does not go the way he planned.
Featuring exs who aren't as sneaky as they think they are, men who don't know how to talk about their feelings, meddling friends who truly have the best intentions at heart, and a whole lot of thirsty Drarry in fancy clothes.

Enjoy!

Harry/Draco Reverse Bang 2022 Round-Up #4

Below you’ll find a round-up of all of our show-stopping submissions that have posted during our fourth and final week of @harrydracobang​ Reverse Bang 2022!

Thank you all for continuing to support our participants with comments, kudos and recs! We know there has been A LOT of fic and art for you all to appreciate, and our fantastic artists and writers are all super grateful for your support! <3

You can take a look at our Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3 round-up posts for the rest of the fabulous entries, and keep an eye out for our masterlist, which will be posting tomorrow!

right where you should be written by @jokedads with art by @digthewriter [Teen, 16.3k] Summary: Harry looked down at himself. He could see that he was wearing sturdy robes in a deep red, half unbuttoned over a t-shirt he didn’t recognise. “HOLYHEAD HARPIES DO IT BETTER”, the shirt told him. He looked up at Malfoy and realised where he’d seen those robes before. “You’re wearing the same robes as me, Malfoy,” he said, “So either we’re impersonating Aurors together or someone else is having a laugh, but I don’t know which because I can’t remember anything!” -digthewriter’s AO3 Art Post

Beneath the Cloak written by @avenueofesc with art by @apriicat [Mature, 31.3k] Summary: Footsteps echo through the corridor, though they seem to hesitate, slowing until they stop directly in front of him. Draco can practically feel the presence of this other at his side. He groans, using all of his strength to raise his head and open his eyes, to see…

Ever Since We Founded Rome written by @ftmshepard with art by @melcarrianna [Mature, 5.7k] Summary: Harry's missing. Draco's the only one who can find him. -Melcarrianna’s AO3 Art Post -Melcarrianna’a Tumblr Art Post

Bad Faith written by Stopme with art by @fantalfart [Explicit, 23k] Summary: There was a slight tug in the middle of his chest, pulling him forward. Harry frowned, confused and intrigued at the same time because of the odd feeling. He stopped walking and leaned back against a stone wall. His magic sparked at the same time a new tug appeared on his chest. The sense of danger crept up in his mind. Danger and fear.

But it wasn’t his fear. -fantalf’s AO3 Art Post (NSFW)

We Were Something (don't you think so?) written by @slyth-princess with art by @celilasart [Mature, 19.4k] Summary: It has been 10 years since Draco Malfoy stepped foot in London. In truth, he would have been happy to never be here again. But when your best friend since birth decides to get married and wants you by his side it isn't as if you can refuse. No matter who you might run into. Get in, get out, and never look back. He's sure he'll be fine.

All Over Again written by @aqua-myosotis with art by Mrs_Croft [Explicit, 36.1k] Summary: Ten years on and after 10 months of falling in and out of bed on a regular basis, they still barely talked.

New Year's Eve was supposed to be a time for new beginnings. A time for big revelations and starting the year as you meant to go on. For moving onwards and upwards...It most definitely is not supposed to end with a countdown from ten, and an empty bed.

A story from the perspectives of Harry and Draco, as they try to wade through the tangles of emotions being love can throw at you. -Mrs_Croft’s AO3 Art Post

Mushrooms of Wiltshire written by @shiftylinguini with art by @artdecielle [Teen, 5.2k] Summary: There's no point unpacking―Harry's not staying long, and besides, there's just bundled rags in his valise. The illusion of belongings, of a man heading to a new position at a prestigious manor―one beset with rumours of old magic and of impish forest dwellers causing chaos and mayhem amid the phosphorescent toadstool glow.

Bugger the job. Harry's here for the rumours. He's been chasing them for years. -Cielle_noire’s AO3 Art Post

What Makes a House a Home written by @writcraft with art by @rasha-dee [Explicit, 27k] Summary: Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts Draco Malfoy wakes up in an unfamiliar house owned by none other than Harry Potter. Even stranger is the snow in September and a night sky without any stars. Naturally it’s a matter of life and death, because isn’t it always? -rasha_dee’s AO3 Art Post

Sinking to Swim written by @pheaphilus with art by @drarrydoodles [Teen, 9.5k] Summary: When Unspeakable Malfoy gets his latest assignment at the Department of Mysteries, he can't help but curse his own luck. What are the chances that he would have to seek out the elusive Harry Potter for help?

When Draco Malfoy comes to his door, asking for his input into an ongoing project at the Ministry, Harry is skeptical. When's the last time a Malfoy did anything to help anyone but themselves, anyway? -Discessio’s AO3 Art Post

In Bad Faith written by @fencer-x with art by @secretartlair [Explicit, 62.3k] Summary: Draco Malfoy just can’t catch a break. Between the magical curse upon his bloodline, his hair misbehaving, and that strange pit full of demons in his basement that he had absolutely nothing to do with, it just hasn’t been a banner year for him. Luckily, Harry Potter is here to make things ten times worse. -SoldSeparately’s AO3 Art Post

Between the magical curse upon his bloodline, his hair misbehaving, and that strange pit full of demons in his basement that he had absolutely nothing to do with, it just hasn’t been a banner year for him. Luckily, Harry Potter is here to make things ten times worse. Author's Notes: This is my second time working with this lovely artist, and it was just as much of a treat as the first! It was a delight coming up with a premise behind the provided art and working with the artist to build a fun story together! Thanks bunches to the mods for their organization efforts and allowing me to participate, as well as to my betas A and M and my Britpicker M! Artist's Notes: I was so excited to see this fest running this year! After participating in HD Big Bang 2021 I was champing at the bit for it, many Kudos and thanks to the mods for running this fest! The coolest part of this process was discovering what my art (that I made without a certain story in mind) would inspire someone else to make into a story, how they would "explain" it. My author totally blew me out of the water with cool ideas and so. many. funny. lines. Harry calling the horrible portal of creatures I'd drawn up the "nope pit" will live with me forever. Fencer, you are always so fun to laugh about drarry with. Thank you for writing such an incredible fic and justifying my demons.

Please check out their work on Tumblr!

Thank you to the mods for running such a brilliant fest! Artist's Notes: Turning Time was inspired by the canon fact that the Malfoy's have a time turner and Draco would have inherited it and that with Auror!Harry (though not specified, open to interpretation) there could be lots of really cool scenarios and I though it would inspire a cool fic!

Thank you for your beautiful art which was so inspiring, I just couldn’t stop thinking about the mug with the stars on it and used that to drive the story from start to finish. A massive thank you as always to darling Grace for being a wonderful co-mod, beta reader, and a stellar friend. You’re the best and I am enormously grateful for everything you do. Artist’s Notes: BIG shoutout to Writcraft for not only being a stellar mod for such an awesome fest, but for also being so supportive, encouraging, and great to collab with.

🐍Art post on AO3: The Final Case of Auror H.J. Potter (4 art pieces)

This fest is my very first @harrydracobang  ever and I couldn't have hoped for a better match than @pennygalleon 😍😍😍

I had an idea for a gorgon!Draco for years now and always secretly hoped that someone could shape it into a proper story - thanks to the RBB, Penny did exactly that and in doing so made my dreams come true!

🐍Fic by Penny on AO3: The Final Case of Auror H.J. Potter (14k)

I'm honoured that my art inspired such an amazing story and thrilled I got to be one of the very first people to read it! Make sure to check it out and leave some love for Penny too 🙌💖

Drarry Art + Fic: Mushrooms of Wiltshire

Title: Mushrooms of Wiltshire Author: @shiftylinguini Artist: @artdecielle Pairing: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy Other Key Characters: Original Character Rating: Teen Word Count: 5.2k Art Medium: Digital Era: Period AU/Fae AU/ Non Canon Content/Warnings: fae au, period au, classism, folklore, dark fairytale, alternating POV, (Harry/Draco/Original Character), POV outsider, blood, kissing, magic, fae realms, mushrooms, changelings, Summary: There’s no point unpacking―Harry’s not staying long, and besides, there's just bundled rags in his valise. The illusion of belongings, of a man heading to a new position at a prestigious manor―one beset with rumours of old magic and of impish forest dwellers causing chaos and mayhem amid the phosphorescent toadstool glow.

Bugger the job. Harry's here for the rumours. He’s been chasing them for years. Author’s Notes: I fell head over heels with this art the moment I saw it, and was thrilled to have the chance (and be encouraged) to write something magical and strange and romantic and above all, muck about with dark fae lore haha! Thank you so much to Cielle_noire for creating such an evocative and captivating piece, and creating this alternate world of icy Draco and Autumnal Harry. I hope that this story has done your art justice! Artist’s Notes: Thank you so much to Shifty for pinch-hitting! I was really pleased to get paired up with you, and so flattered you claimed my art <3 also very grateful that you stepped in on such short notice to write a beautiful companion piece to my art. Pinch hitters are the stars that light the night sky, truly. Working with you was a ton of fun and a delight, I hope we get to work together again someday!

I really love fae AUs; there’s so much potential for lore and creating new ideas with familiar characters. This piece was inspired by a sort of idle wondering about what Draco and Harry might look like as fae, what their coloring might be, other features they might have, that sort of thing. I wanted to leave enough room for interpretation whether this was to be a dark fae au (as many are) or a more light-hearted story (as fairy tales have come to be associated with). Whether dangerous or dreamy, I wanted it to be enchanting to look at.

Drarry Art + Fic: All Over Again

Title: All Over Again Author: @aqua-myosotis​ Artist(s): Mrs_Croft Pairing(s): Draco/Harry, background Harry/OMC, Ron/Hermione and Ginny/Pansy, non-explicit Draco/OMC Other Key Characters: Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Pansy Parkinson, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, OMC, Blaise Zabini, Daphne Greengrass, Theo Nott, Seamus Finnegan, Dean Thomas, Anthony Goldstein Rating: Explicit Word Count: 35.1k Art Medium: Digital Era: Post-Second Wizarding War Content/Warnings: Breaking Up & Making Up, Love Confessions, Falling In Love, Jealousy, Implied/Referenced Homophobia (Lucius Malfoy), Implied/Referenced Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Implied/Referenced Drug Use, Mental Health Issues, PTSD, Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, Breakdown of Parental Relationships, Blow Jobs, Semi-Public Sex, Anal Sex, Anal Fingering, Rimming                 Summary: Ten years on and after 10 months of falling in and out of bed on a regular basis, they still barely talked.

New Year's Eve was supposed to be a time for new beginnings. A time for big revelations and starting the year as you mean to go on. For moving onwards and upwards...

It most definitely is not supposed to end with a countdown from ten, and an empty bed.

A story from the perspectives of both Harry and Draco, as they try to navigate through the tangles of emotions that only falling in love can throw at you. Author’s Notes: My first Drarry fic! I so loved writing this but I absolutely couldn't have done it without a few very special people.

Firstly, my amazing artist collaborator, whose stunning art (which you can see embedded at the end of the first chapter!) inspired his whole story.

Ols, an amazing and supportive beta and who made me feel like this was something worth reading after all. I love you, you deserve the world.

And Rory. This wouldn't have been written about you. Your support and encouragement is the very reason this fic exists. Thank you for being there right from the beginning and for propping me up when I very nearly threw in the towel. My very own cheerleader.  I don't deserve you. You are the girl of my dreams.

Artist’s Notes: I'm beyond excited to read and of course for everyone else to read what my awesome author came up with. She found a way to include the most thoughtful details.

Drarry Art + Fic: We Were Something (don't you think so?)

Title: We Were Something (don't you think so?) Author: @slyth-princess Artist: @celilasart Pairing(s): Harry/Draco (minor Blaise/Ginny, minor Ron/Hermione, minor or background relationships) Other Key Characters: Ginny, Blaise, Ron, Hermione, Pansy, Luna, Minor Characters Rating: Mature Word Count: 19.4k Art Medium: Digital Art Era: About 10 years post-war, EWE Content/Warnings: Blood and Injury, Anger Issues, Swearing, Drinking, Implied Sexual Content, Fred Weasley Lives, Meddling Friends, Interhouse Unity, Post-War, Minor Angst, Questionable Use of Canon, POV Alternating, POV Outsider, Curse Breaker Draco Malfoy, Shop Owner Harry Potter, Unusual Career, Past Harry Potter/Anthony Goldstein, Getting Back Together, Weddings, Flashbacks, Bars and Pubs, Sexual Tension, Matchmaking Summary: It has been 10 years since Draco Malfoy stepped foot in London. In truth, he would have been happy to never be here again. But when your best friend since birth decides to get married and wants you by his side it isn't as if you can refuse. No matter who you might run into. Get in, get out, and never look back. He's sure he'll be fine.

Harry Potter has always been good about locking away feelings he couldn't deal with. As long as he didn't have to face them he could very easily pretend they never happened. So how was he going to handle seeing a man he had once thought could be his everything for the first time in a decade. Spoiler alert, it does not go the way he planned.

Featuring exs who aren't as sneaky as they think they are, men who don't know how to talk about their feelings, meddling friends who truly have the best intentions at heart, and a whole lot of thirsty Drarry in fancy clothes. Author’s Notes: As my first time doing any Big Bang for this fandom I have to say I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Despite being in the middle of some massive life changes and personal setbacks, I am still very happy with how this story came out. I want to say a massive thank you to all of the mods and other participants who helped drag me limping across the finish line lol. This labor of love would not have been possible without you.

My other two major shout outs are to my amazing editor who everyday acts as cheerleader, shoulder to cry on, drill sergeant, and friend. You make me a better writer every day and I am so grateful <3

Finally, my amazing artist. From the moment I saw this incredible art I knew it was one of my top contenders. I woke up at 5am just to make sure I got what I wanted. I was that much more thrilled when I found out celilasart was my artist. We worked together for the Lights, Camera, Drarry fic just a month prior and I knew it was going to be fun. I was not wrong.

Please give her work all of the love. Additionally, she was kind enough to make me a custom scene breaker. Bonus points to anyone who can figure out the context ;) Artist’s Notes: Thank you to the mods for organising a Reverse Bang after so many years! It was so much fun to be at the starting point of the collaboration process.

I'm so happy that Slyth_Princess saw my art and decided to create a story for it I knew her work from LCDrarry 2022 where she wrote a brilliant fic inspired by "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". When we got matched for the Reverse Bang, we chatted for the next two hours about all of the fandoms we love Thank you so much for coming on this journey with me, A, and for giving our boys the happy ending they deserve!

Please check out her writing, it's wonderful!!

His magic sparked at the same time a new tug appeared on his chest. The sense of danger crept up in his mind. Danger and fear.

But it wasn’t his fear. Author’s Notes: This was a great experience. I've participated in a few fest before, but this is the first Drarry fest I completed. Collaborating with my artist was really fun, and I hope you all love the illustration, just like I did when I first saw it. Thank you to everyone that made this fest a reality! Artist’s Notes: It was amazing drawing something a bit different from what I'm used to, and then I was blessed to find the perfect match to bring this dark thing to reality! Thank you, my dear author, for this brilliant collab, and mods for bringing this fest together.

Harry's missing. Draco's the only one who can find him.

My art for @harrydracobang ‘s Reverse Bang 💋

What can I say there’s just something extra magical with the creature fics.

Thank you @periferal for liking my art so much to choose it I loved the sweet fic you wrote for it! Every update you sent me brought joy to my day.

This fic has weird corners of worldbuilding I hope you find interesting, and is strongly inspired by the kickass art. Artist’s Notes: For me this prompt was 2 things, Werewolf Harry and Veela Draco being the perfect creature pair And wings. I wanted to draw a Draco as a soft and angelic Veela and I wanted to him to have large wings.

Turns out rendering wings is a lot of tedious work lol but I feel really happy about the final product. This piece is a favorite of mine from the tip of the mountains to the tip of their toes and all the magic in between. I'm So excited for the sweet fic that has been made to go with it.

This Fest has been so wonderful to be a part of. Thank you to the Mods for making this fest the success I'm certain it is.
