    Summary

    Simon Basset swore to his dying father that he would never marry and never sire an heir, but when fate places Penelope Featherington in his arms, he finds that he cannot say NO. This long fic (210K and counting) is the story of how two people with their own hurts, ghosts, and traumas make the most of their circumstances and find happiness.

    The Bridgerton family is featured heavily with lots of domestic fluff and support for the new couple. Simon and Anthony are as close as brothers and work through their father issues together, while Penelope has a sisterly relationship with all of the Bridgerton siblings. Lady Danbury and Lady Violet guide and mentor their adopted children.

    This is a RARE PAIR story with FIVE characters marrying differently from their canon spouses. Canon divergent from episode one. It's a fun ride if you're down for the adventure.

    Summary

    “Nothing’s wrong with you, Draco,” Harry said quietly, placing one of his hands over Draco’s fidgeting ones. “You have nothing to be ashamed of, you know? Everyone does it.”

    “Yes, as we’ve already established, normal human beings do it,” Draco snapped. But in the next moment, his defensive front fell and he turned his hand over, entwining his fingers with Harry’s. “Sorry, I know that’s not what you meant. I’m just… I feel so daft.”

    Harry shook his head. “You’re really not. Maybe all you need is some help.”

    Or after over-hearing Harry jerking off, Draco admits that he hasn't been able to since before the war ended. Harry offers a helping hand.

    Summary

    “Malfoy’s in the showers. The others are guarding the Slytherin Showers like some guard dogs from hell," was what Harry remembered a member of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team say after their match with the Slytherins when he was in third year.

    Or; during sixth year, Harry was suspicious of Draco staying in the Prefects' Bathroom for so long.

    Summary

    As the newly recognized Head of House Potter-Black, Harry is bound by an old Wizengamot law: court at least two suitable pure-blood heirs for two years before choosing a spouse. He never expected one of them to be Draco Malfoy—war-scarred, sharp-tongued, and impossibly well-dressed. High-society fundraisers, Ministry PR, and a cruelly mishandled war memorial force Harry to finally decide what he really wants…and who he’s already chosen in his heart.
