Hello, do you have Drarry Fic Recs centered around Christmas or the Holiday Season? :) Love your blog, best regards
Apparently, I know more Christmas fics than I thought I would? Considering that I'm not a Christmas person at all lmao. Another caveat that I took a 2 year hiatus, several friends have written advent/holidays fics but I'm not very up to date!

Something sinister stirs in Hogwarts!
When magical creatures and students at the school are hit with a debilitating blood curse, Minerva McGonagall approaches the Ministry for help.
Star Auror Harry Potter seems to be the obvious choice to go undercover—as DADA Professor, naturally. He’s going to need the help of the Ministry’s foremost expert in blood magic to get to the bottom of the mystery, though, and he’s not entirely convinced that going back to Hogwarts with Draco Malfoy is a good idea.
Things are complicated between them—what’s new?—but they know they have to learn to work together (and keep their hands off each other in the corridors) in order to solve this case. Luckily for them, Hogwarts itself wants to lend a hand.
A tale of love, lessons, and learning to really live.
Un Noël très parisien by @femmequixotic and @noeeon (14k)
When Draco crossed paths with Auror Potter at a political function in Paris, he was not expecting their former animosity to change into something rather more intriguing. But he could be certain their casual flirtation would not last more than the night, couldn't he?
The Light More Beautiful by @firethesound (81k)
Thirteen years after Draco accepts Potter's help escaping the horror of his sixth year, he returns to England where he makes the unfortunate discovery that Potter is still as obnoxious as ever. And worse, more than a decade overseas hasn't been enough to dim Draco's obsession with him.

Settle in in my slow-burning heart - orphaned (10k)
"So maybe it really actually starts like this: Draco is gifted a truly horribly ugly Christmas jumper by his mother, and is guilt-tripped into wearing it at work.
Apparently Harry takes the hideousness of the jumper to mean that Draco is okay with receiving terribly ugly things for presents, because the next time he’s abroad – in bloody Chicago – he brings back an eagle with the American flag on its back that is capable of singing the first three lines of the American anthem if you press it on the stomach back for Draco."

Five years after the war Draco is working a tech developer job in the Auror Office, and it's all great except this one thing: Harry Potter works there, too. Things only become stranger when Harry starts bringing Draco ugly souvenirs back from his work travels. When Harry then shows up injured in Draco's flat, Draco considers the possibility that he's going insane.

MALFOY HEIR FOUND ALIVE IN WEREWOLF FIGHTING RING
Three years ago at the tragic Battle that freed our great Wizarding World from the grip of a megalomaniac Dark Wizard, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, our world lost many Witches and Wizards. Among the dead and missing was Draco Malfoy, the only son of notorious Death Eaters Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, both of whom volunteered their home for He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to use as a headquarters. Sources have confirmed that the young Malfoy took a vow to follow in his parents footsteps by taking the Dark Mark.
Inside sources have uncovered that the Malfoy heir has been found alive. Aurors recently went undercover to expose a fighting ring involving illegal potions and unregistered werewolves. Among those rescued was Draco Malfoy.
It’s No Great Mystery by @agentmoppet (57k)
Who on earth decided that bringing back the Yule Ball for their eighth year would be a good idea? It feels like the worst day of Harry’s life, watching everyone get glammed up like the war never happened, like the last Triwizard Tournament wasn’t such a colossal failure.
And then it happens again. And again. And again.
come with me into the light by @tryslora (21k)
Everything has changed by the time Harry returns to Hogwarts for his second attempt at his final year. He no longer wears glasses, he mourns dead friends from the war, and Draco Malfoy walks the halls as if he is a ghost as well. When Pansy asks Harry to help snap Malfoy out of his silence, what else is he supposed to say? Malfoy needs to be saved, and that's just what Harry does.

Come Back to Me by Sophie_French (28k)
Lily Malfoy-Potter could ask Father Christmas many things: a beautiful doll with glittering pink and purple robes, a stuffed kneazle just like her cousin Rose’s or even a colour-changing diadem like the princesses in the bedtime stories her Papa tells her.
But she won’t.
No, this year, she will only ask for one thing: for her Papa and Daddy to get back together and be happy again.
She just can’t wait.
A Room Up There (And You In It) by @the-starryknight (59k)
When Preservationist Draco Malfoy was assigned to work on Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, he was excited to delve into the gorgeous Black family antiques. His excitement quickly ended when something in the House decided it did not like his presence one bit. Featuring a grumpy antiques lover who most certainly did not sign up for this, encounters with a vengeful apparition, and a healthy application of Christmas spirit.
A Melody of You & Me by @academicdisasterfic (64k)
Draco Malfoy has a Christmas choir competition to win, and Harry Potter has an orphanage that needs funding. When Luna Lovegood intervenes, they agree to help each other out: Harry will join the choir if Draco chooses to sponsor his charity.
But agreeing to work together also means getting to know each other again - in new and unexpected ways.
Ft. a chaotic festive choir, scheming friends, a healthy dose of mental health issues, one very irritating ex, and boys learning how to love and be loved.

Winter Drarry for December :)
~~~♤~~~
Draco Malfoy loved winter more than most things in life. Truth be told, it made his cold heart just a little warmer each year.
Harry Potter was the first to notice; when Malfoy actually held a door open for him in their office.
"What's going on with you?" He asked suddenly, spinning around on his heel.
Malfoy raised an eyebrow, "Nothing, Potter. Am I not allowed to simply be in a good mood?"
Malfoy's usual insults were replaced with quiet sighs and fond smiles, his morning mug of black coffee replaced with peppermint tea and cinnamon stirring sticks.
He even took the time to partially decorate his office, a simple string of garland around his desk and a wreath at the door.
It was driving Harry insane.
The colder it got outside the happier Malfoy appeared to be, he even showed up at the winter ministry event, events he had never gone to any other time of year.
His smiles were more genuine, and it took a lot more to irritate him than it usually did.
The others were stunned by the change, having never seen him as anything other than Harry Potter's no-nonsense grumpy old auror partner. He actually hummed as he walked to the front doors on his lunch.
Harry kept finding reasons to be around him, just so he could see more of this side of Malfoy. He passed through, dropping off papers himself rather than calling for his assistant, asking to borrow a stapler, (which every room between them from the second and third floor carried as well)
He once bumped into him in the hallway, when Malfoy asked where he was off to his only response he could come up with was 'Going on a walk'
Despite Potter's efforts to remain discreet about his newest obsession with Malfoy, Draco noticed right away.
The thing that sold it? The stapler labled Potter's sitting neatly on his desk when Draco popped in to give him a copy of their latest assignment.
Draco decided to let it play out, upping the game a little more and going out of his way to be extra nice to Potter.
He'd offered to pick him up drinks from the cafe whenever he went out, always checked in on him during their field missions and stopped insulting him altogether. At one point, just to see the little vein pop out on Potter's forehead, Draco called him darling.
Potter's reaction was priceless, his face drained of all color for a moment before it all came rushing back into his cheeks at once.
He stammered out an excuse for needing to be somewhere else and hurried away to the nearest lift.
Draco smiled as he watched him go, realising that maybe he enjoyed flustering Potter a little too much.
His next plan was enchanted mistletoe, he set it up above his door, never walking underneath the frame if there was anyone in a five foot radius.
That is, until Potter showed up in his office again that morning, his cheeks still red,
"Hey Malfoy, they're requesting to see us in Kingsley's office for a debriefing at 3:30."
Draco nodded, "Very well, I'll be there."
Potter started to turn before Draco called him back,
"Actually, Potter, do you mind giving this to Lola for me? She asked for these to be delivered as soon as possible and I completely misplaced them yesterday." He held out a few pages clipped together, "You'd be doing me a huge favor." He added in a low voice.
Potter took them with a mute nod and cleared his throat,
"Right, yes. I'll get these to um... to Lola. Thank you." He laughed nervously.
"Everything alright, darling?" Draco asked, using his low voice he typically reserved for intimidating suspects.
"Yep! Yeah, everything's great. I uh-" His back hit the door frame as he took a few steps away, his cheeks flooding with heat again, "I'll go do this now."
The moment Draco stepped under the mistletoe they were both frozen in place. Potter looked up, his eyes wide,
"Is that-" He started. Draco sighed,
"Ahh, I'd forgotten about that. I was using it to try to keep people out of my office." He shrugged casually, "I suppose it backfired."
Potter suddenly looked back down at him, his eyes even wider, "Do we-" He coughed, "Er... do we, um-"
"Kiss? Yes, Potter, those would be the rules."
Harry nodded, "Right." He leaned back and scratched the back of his neck, "Of course." He muttered, clearing his throat again.
"Oh, for Merlin's sake." Draco sighed, holding either side of Potter's face and pulling him into a sudden kiss.
Potter's gasp was muffled against his lips.
The kiss that was supposed to be a joke just to see Potter's reaction.
The kiss that wasn't supposed to mean anything at all to Draco.
This kiss that was just... still... happening.
He couldn't pull away, Potter had melted into his touch, his arms wrapping around his waist almost instantly.
It was like magic, Draco had no idea when he'd gone from jokingly teasing to oh so many emotions coursing through him all at once.
He wasn't sure he wanted the kiss to ever end.
Potter pulled slightly away for air, "Malfoy?" He whispered, his voice hoarse.
Draco tilted their foreheads together, trying to fight the urge to shove his tongue down Potter's throat to get him to just stop talking.
"We're kind of in the hallway." He mumbled. Draco's eyes shot up over his shoulder, a few of their coworkers stared open-mouthed across the hall from them, unashamed of being caught looking.
Draco cursed under his breath and dragged Potter by his wrist into his office, slamming the door shut behind him and casting locking and silencing charms.
"Is this okay?" He asked, his hand coming up to cup Potter's jaw again.
Potter nodded breathlessly, "Yes."
It was years from then, as they were sitting in the Burrow with the rest of the Weasley's, newley-wed and happier than ever, that Harry confessed winter had been his favorite season ever since.
