A/N: Thank you so much to the lovely mods, for being patient with me, and so lovely and understanding. You are brilliant. Thank you to the prompter. I hope I did your prompt justice. I love the idea of Harry and Draco coming together when they're older and potentially wiser. Thank you A for convincing me to sign up to this fest. I don't think it was very hard, but I'm glad you did it! And finally, thank you so, so much to T. I couldn't have done this without you. You have been a wonderful beta and an amazing friend, and I am so lucky.

Title: The Soulmark
Author: kikimay
Characters/Pairings: Draco/Harry; Pansy, Narcissa, Lucius
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3920
Content/Warning(s): Established relationship, snark, emotional hurt/comfort, Draco being his Slytherin self, angst with a happy ending, soulmark trope with a twist.
Summary/Prompt: Inspired by prompt number P36: “reinterpretation of soulmates/soulmarks”. After thirty years of marriage, Draco discovers a soulmark on his husband’s shoulder, while he has none. Harry’s soulmate is out there and his marriage might be over.
A/N: Many thanks to my beta LES, who kindly corrected this story while writing herself another, and thank you to the creator of the original prompt. It was so inspiring for me! I really wanted to challenge the trope of soulmate/soulmark as something that is already chosen for you and that you have to accept. I’m afraid I wasn’t able to go for a polyamorous happy ending, but I hope this story will be enjoyable all the same. It features a Draco as contrary as myself.

Title: when by now and tree by leaf
Author: aibidil
Pairings: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter
Characters: Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Scorpius Malfoy, Astoria Greengrass, Albus Severus Potter, James Sirius Potter, Lily Luna Potter, Teddy Lupin
Rating: E
Word Count: 45,672
Content/Warning(s): falling in love, mpreg, past infidelity, past Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley, past Astoria Greengrass/Draco Malfoy, minor Teddy Lupin/James Potter, minor character death, parent death, switching, angst, angst with a happy ending, parenthood, family dynamics, alcohol, grief/mourning, ageing, growing up, non-penetrative sex, frottage, getting together, getting back together, non-linear narrative, pov alternating
Summary/Prompt: Summary: When Scorpius Malfoy is saying goodbye to his dying mother, he doesn't expect to hear her confess, "Your father slept with another man and became pregnant with you." Grappling with his grief and his identity, Scorpius sets out to discover the identity of his other father, who it turns out has a lighting-shaped scar and no idea that Scorpius exists.
Prompt: On her deathbed, Astoria tells Scorpius that she's not his mother. Draco had carried him and gave birth to him and because of *whatever reason up to the author* Draco had to marry Astoria. They had a good marriage but were just friends and not partners. Now it's up to Scorpius to find his father's true happiness.
A/N: Context for content warnings: This fic contains mpreg, but not of an explicit variety. There is very little on-screen pregnancy, though there is one scene that contains vomiting associated with morning sickness. This fic contains past infidelity, wherein Harry and Draco cheated on their wives with each other. The affair is on-screen in flashbacks, but occurred decades ago. There's no Ginny or Astoria bashing.

Huge, enormous, gargantuan thanks to T and F for betaing and discussing this story at length, especially when I was in danger of drowning in feels and angst. It wouldn't exist without them. Thanks, too, to J, G, and K for helping me think through some character and plot points.

The title is from E.E. Cummings's "anyone lived in a pretty how town."
