Summary
Draco never asked to survive the war. It wasn't part of his plan to have to continue going afterwards, through the trials and the repercussions and having to go back to Hogwarts despite nobody wanting him there. What's the point of it anyway, when the wizarding world will never again respect him? Death would have been more agreeable.
Then Harry shows up with a badly sewn heart. Then he shows up with an extra essay. Somehow, he forces himself into Draco's life, and then forces the rest of his friend group into Draco's life, and maybe living can feel a lot less like one long stretch of waiting for nothing.
Finally feeling the calm after the storm comes with its own set of issues, though. Namely having to deal with the feelings he's not meant to deal with.

Summary
“As always, humans first.”
The crowd was silent, clearly unenthusiastic. You tried not to think about your odds—it never did you any good. What were six slips of paper as opposed to hundreds?
With a shaky breath, you quelled the hammering in your chest. It will be okay. You do this every year, right? Every year, you come to the square, watch two members of your community be sentenced to certain death, then go home and silently contemplate the conditions of your world. That’s how it went every year, and you were certain that is how it would go this year.
So when the cold metallic voice announced your name over the loudspeaker, you could feel your heart stop.
Ice shot down your veins and a ringing filled your ear. You thought you could hear your mother scream, but she sounded so far away, you could barely register it. Was it really… it was you?
Another announcement of your name, followed by a sing-song, “come up here, darling!” confirmed yes, you. You were the human tribute of District 12 in the seventy-fourth annual Games.

Summary
Life isn’t fair, case in point, you didn’t expect to be trudging through the snow to the corner store to pick up some much needed, over priced, feminine hygiene products while trying not to bleed all over yourself all because you failed to remember to pick them up with your normal shopping. That’s the thing, no one ever said life was meant to be fair did they?
~*~
Promises were just words, promises of home, safety, love. Only ever worth something if the person kept those words close to their soul. That was something he learned pretty damn quick. Built for love, to be a friend, a companion, tossed into the rings to be a fighter, something he was never meant to be. The only promise he knew he could trust were the few he made to himself, the promise to never fall for the sweet lies of a pretty face again.
~*~
What happens when two souls who honestly need each other, don’t know how to open up and trust? Can love, trust, and home be found when the world has proven that trust is a dangerous thing? Can they get over the hurt that this unfair world has piled on them? Open up to each other and maybe, just maybe find the home they both need?Series
