Title: The July Tree
Author oknowkiss

Pairing(s): Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley
Word Count: 51.6K
Rating: NC-17 / Explicit
Any content you should be warned for: Brief mentions of blood and minor injury, brief mentions of depression. Brief discussion of a micro-aggression (further details in work). Explicit sexual content: masturbation, mild D/s elements, first time sex, anal fingering, oral sex. Smoking, drinking (casually and a few mentions of being drunk), and recreational drug use (weed).
Summary: Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail… nor well-meaning friends, nor questionable communication skills, nor seven years of hating each other’s guts can keep Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy from falling in love.

We have ONE MORE EXCITING WEEK TO GO! Thanks to all that have been keeping up w/ the fest and leaving amazing remarks for our creators!

Title: Falling on My Head Like a Memory
Author/Artist: drwhoisginnyholmes
Prompt: # 10: They like to play outside whenever there is a storm outside.
Pairing(s): Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter
Word Count/Art Medium: 1290
Rating: T
Any content you should be warned for: Referenced child abuse, emotional trauma. Teen for mentions of violence.
Summary: Harry never minded the rain and storms, he used them as an escape from the Dursleys. It was the only time he has felt anything and he continued it when things got overwhelming at Hogwarts too. He had managed to keep it a secret until now, but he didn't mind that it was Draco that found him.

Title: Throwing Rocks at Your Window

Rating: Teen And Up
