Title: Orbit
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: # 33
Rating: Explicit
Warnings/Content Notes: Non-con elements
Summary: “The classical problem of celestial mechanics, perhaps of all Newtonian mechanics, involves the motion of one body about another under the influence of their mutual gravitation.”

* They don’t like each other. They’re not friends. There’s not even a ceasefire of any sort because they’re fighting as much as ever—but there’s definitely something different about it. An added layer of self-awareness they don’t dare identify, but which colours every Scared, Potter? and Do your worst; each You wouldn’t dare and Then prove it.

Title: Asking For It
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: # 109
Rating: Teen And Up
Warnings/Content Notes: Past Rape/Non-Con
Summary: Scorpius is getting sucked in by lad culture, and when Draco sees him smacking some girl’s ass, he loses his temper with his son for the first time in his life. Now he’s got to calm down and explain everything to his family.
Word Count: 4352
Author’s Notes: This fic ended up being focused very heavily on misogyny and how consent seems, on the surface, to be a very different issue for men and women. Women tend to be exposed to a more threatening attitude towards ownership of their body, and consent is often something terrifyingly important. And when a man has his agency ripped away like that, they’ve got to deal with internalised misogyny and in Draco’s case a certain amount of internalised homophobia, that in some way he had to deserve it. But I also wanted him to have survived one of the most horrific experiences and be in most ways stable and LIVING, rather than just surviving

Asking For It

Title: Perfectly Imperfect
Author: First-time Fest Participant ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Prompt: #25
Rating: Teen
Summary: What is going on with Potter? Draco doesn’t know. He’s too busy worrying about Salazar and choking on Pansy’s cucumber sandwiches. Now Potter’s owl is out for blood and Blaise has to be stopped. All things considered, it’s hard being an investigative journalist and a crazy person at the same time.
Word count: 15010
Author’s Notes: Thank you to R, N, and C respectively, for the beta, alpha, and title/summary help. You guys helped me so much ❤

Prompt: # 24
Rating: M
Warnings/Content Notes: Prostitution
Summary: It’s his twenty fifth visit to the flat. A posh spot in midtown Manhattan with updated appliances, rooftop access, and a snooty doorman. A spot that five years ago would have been inconceivable to its resident. But war and death and time all wreak their changes.

Title: Arseholes

Prompt: #85
Rating: Explicit
Warnings/Content Notes: PWP, rimming, post-Hogwarts, EWE
Summary: In which words and actions don’t mean the same thing.
Word Count: 1409
Author’s Notes: Thanks to the mods for getting all of this up and running and their efficient cat-herding skills. SPaGed and beta-ed by Spf. Ta ever so. The prompts for the fest covered a whole myriad of things, from verbal and non-verbal cues, communication and the enthusiastic-consent model, to kink negotiation and safewords, but for me, there was a quote in an everyday feminism article which I think really sums up what I was going for in this fic: “Just as your partner does not have to do anything with you that they’re not comfortable with, you don’t have to do anything with your partner that you’re uncomfortable with – even if the source of your discomfort is your partner’s body language or the tone of their voice.”

Prompt: # 103 A PWP where not a word is spoken, but consent is still explicit

Summary: Finding a partner to sate his needs has never presented a dilemma for Draco. That is, until he encounters the fit and willing Head Auror.
Word Count: ~2,410
Author’s Notes: Dearest prompter: the possibilities of your prompt especially given the context of this fest were just fantastic. I loved filling this one; I hope it hits on some of the things you were looking for!! ❤

Thanks to the amazing C for her insightful beta work and encouragement as well as to J for his read and reassurance as I stepped outside my comfort zone. And kudos to the lovely mods for creating and hosting such a wonderful (and timely!) fest.

Summary: Harry finds him in a ditch. He never expected the life of a Superhero to be easy. But showing your enemies mercy is so hard.
Word Count: 72935
Author’s Notes: Wow! I can’t believe it, but this giant beast of a fic is completed! When I first submitted the above prompt, I never thought I’d be the one to claim it! Yet here we are. It’s been such a long three months, and there’re several people I need to thank for helping pull this fic through! First, I want to thank <a href=“http://makoninah.tumblr.com/” rel=“nofollow”>makoninah</a>, whose <a href=“http://makoninah.tumblr.com/post/165163758757/this-idea-was-quite-striking-for-me” rel=“nofollow”>lovely art piece</a> helped to inspire part of the interpretation of what you’ll see for Harry’s powers, and I also wanted to thank her for granting permission for me to use this idea in the fic. Thank you to the Consent Mods for dealing with my persistent questions. I also don’t know where I’d be without the amazing ‘C’ and ‘B’. Both helped me figure out very early on many of the places that are mentioned in this fic, dealt with many of my persistent questions, and helped me out with various cultural elements. And a special shout-out to ‘B’ for really helping out near crunch-time. For the numerous people who sent me encouragement during the months of writing this, ’S’ for helping me sort out the beginning, ‘RN’ for answering my grammar questions, and ‘A’ for being a sounding board for ideas, thank you! Finally, I want to thank the person who’s been with me on this project even before I had decided to take it on myself, the one who helped me through many a writer’s mood-swing (and even more questions), encouraged me to keep going and not give up, and really helped critique this fic and push it to its full potential, my main beta, ‘R’! Every single one of you are Super Stars!

Wing it, Baby! I Want to Fly with You

Title: Mixed Drinks and Crossed Wires
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: # 105
Rating: NC-17
Warnings/Content Notes: Drunken kissing (but all sex happens while sober), face fucking, light dom/sub dynamic
Summary: Draco is a handsy drunk. Harry is okay with it, really. They’re friends, so it doesn’t mean anything.
Word Count: ~16k
Author’s Notes: I got the idea stuck in my head of Draco being very tactile while drunk and because of this Harry dismisses his flirting, and when I saw the prompt it seemed like the perfect opportunity to explore this idea. I intended this to be a short PWP, but of course it ended up rather differently than I expected. Many thanks to my amazing beta, S for all your help catching my mistakes and improving my fic!

About Time

Title: It’s Been Draco For Awhile
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: #23
Rating: NC-17
Warnings/Content Notes: Second person POV (Harry)
Summary: What harm can a love potion do if you’re already in love? In which Harry finds out that it’s not a love potion but it can do quite a lot of harm, and Draco finds out how fiendishly difficult it is to fend off his flatmate’s advances when all he wants is to give in to them.
Word Count: ~15k
Author’s Notes: Thank you so, so much to A for your help and support and endless beta, and M for beta and cheerreading! Fair warning, Harry’s POV is in second person. While I know this is turn-off for some, I hope you’ll give it a chance. It was surprisingly fun to write and ideally will be fun to read, as well!

Summary: Draco’s been shagging The Prat Who Lived on and off for a few months when his soul mark starts to change. Draco’s had to accept a lot of adjustments to his life, but accepting that Harry Potter could be his soulmate is one step too far. It can’t be true? Can it?
Word Count: 37300
Author’s Notes: This is my first ever fest and I so hope you enjoy the fic, because I had a great time exploring the prompt I claimed: “Draco’s soulmark tattoo is going through some… changes. It started out reading Pansy Parkinson but then it changed to Parry Porkinson, then Hansy Parky, then Pandy Hotter and Draco is starting to have a terrible feeling that he know what the next name will be…” Thankyou so much to my brilliant betas M and T without who this fic would be a mess and the characters would be bland xxx Also thankyou to A for letting me talk through the magical theory to ensure it made sense xxx Enjoy!!

Title: missing-him-thing
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: Kid fic. Teaching kids about consent starts early and single parents Harry and Draco have their hands full with the respective offspring. # 94
Rating: G
Warnings/Content Notes: Just Mild Language
Summary: “Did you miss me?” Draco asks. He’s teasing. Teasing and amused, and he doesn’t mean it, didn’t expect a serious answer, or an answer at all, so Harry feels quite within his rights to shove Draco away, scoffing. Draco laughs, and it’s not the snide, mocking sound from their childhood, the laugh that used to make rage bubble in every delicate vein, as fierce and forceful as dragon-fire. Did you miss me? Every damn day, Harry doesn’t say. (Harry and Draco teach their kids about consent, and fall in love along the way.)
Word Count: 19387
Author’s Notes: Thank you to my lovely Beta, L, for ironing out this story.

Title: We Sleep In Pairs
Author: First-time Fest Participant ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Prompt: 46: Draco was raped by Death Eaters during the war. Harry hasn’t felt sexual attraction since before the Horcrux hunt. The war is over now, and they develop a strange friendship that no one else understands. As their relationship progresses, they each figure out what it means to take it slow and listen to their partner and their own desires.
Rating: Mature
Warnings/Content Notes: Past rape/non-con, implied self-harm, implied suicide attempt
Summary: We do not blame flowers for their death. But when Draco’s magic dies after the War, he struggles to forgive himself, and it’s going to take far more than striking up a companionship with Harry Potter for him to heal.

Warnings/Content Notes: Explicit Language, Dirty Talk, Suggestive Themes, Implied Sexual Content
Summary: Draco can tell that there’s something on Harry’s mind.
Word Count: 818
Author’s Notes: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended. Many thanks to g for the beta help. Also, many thanks to the mods for being so patient with me! I decided to take a natural approach to the theme of consent. When starting new relationships, it’s always difficult to work up the courage to speak about what is okay and what’s not okay. While these conversations are hard, they need to be had. Relationships are built upon communication and trust – be honest! Enjoy this little slice of life moment with these two. xx

Author’s Notes: My betas were the amazing v, who gave me amazing feedback for my fic and such nice comments-I was absolutely blown away-and d, who was an incredibly helpful beta and I am honestly so grateful for her help with this. Also to the anon who prompted this, I just have one thing to say: I’m sorry…or am I? No, seriously, I just couldn’t help myself.

Title: Say The Words (Say Them Out Loud)
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: # 111
Rating: Explicit
Warnings/Content Notes: No Warnings Apply
Summary: When Draco gets assigned as the Auror to guard Harry Potter day and night, he is sure nothing good will come of it. But as the days go on Draco is forced to evaluate himself and things he thought to be true about Potter and relationships. Sometimes it’s not love at first sight. Sometimes, first, it’s miscommunication and misunderstanding. A story in which Harry and Draco learn to accept the things they want from themselves and from each other.
Word Count: 18,492
Author’s Notes: I cannot thank my betas enough for their tireless work helping me navigate through both plot and consent issues, cheering me on when I was unsure, and caring about these characters as much as I did. Without them, this story wouldn’t have been possible.

Say The Words (Say Them Out Loud)

Title: To Hear You Say It
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: # 71
Rating: Explicit
Warnings/Content Notes: no archive warnings apply; consistent with an explicit rating, in reference to sexual content
Summary: Hogwarts has put together an eighth year in order to allow all students a chance to complete their N.E.W.T.’s. Harry and the other “eighth year” students come back to a much different Hogwarts. Harry could get used to a new dormitory, harder classes, even his new roommate. He could even get used to all the new rules and expectations. Making is bed? How hard could it be?
Word Count: 19k
Author’s Notes: When approaching consent for this fic, I wanted to make use of the conversations the characters had to explore things like consent in the context of celebrities/fantasies, consent now doesn’t mean consent later, and the difference between verbal and implied No/Yes. I also wanted to show an example of mixed messages, like saying no even when physically aroused. Overall, I wanted to show consent as an ongoing conversation that addresses more than a one dimensional question of “sex: yes or no?”.

Title: Ten Thousand Reasons Why Not
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: # 16
Rating: NC-17
Warnings/Content Notes: sexual harassment roleplay
Summary: Harry and Draco are stand-ins for the usual witch who gives the workplace harassment and sexual consent talk to the Auror trainees. Or, a little tale in which Harry consents to be sexually harassed by Draco Malfoy.
Word Count: ~8,500
Author’s Notes: Thank you so much to the fabulous mods for coming up with this fest! I’ve had a ton of fun writing for it! Also, ten thousand thank yous to my lovely beta for whipping this into shape! The terms ‘reasonable person standard’, ‘quid pro quo’ (and its definition), as well as talk of behavior that ranks as ‘severe, pervasive, and of a sexual explicit nature’ are concepts written about with credit to Knowing Your Rights: Sexual Harassment in the Workplacefrom CBS This Morning. That said, this fic – though I tried to do a halfway decent job in writing some aspects of the seminar – isn’t meant as a PSA on workplace sexual harassment. I just loved how the prompt gave me a chance to write consented-for role-play of sexual harassment. I thought that was so ingenious and perfect for this pairing!

Will Draco be able to convince him of the necessity of open discourse on sex, consent, and intimacy? And what are the Greengrass sisters plotting? Caller, go ahead!

Heartfelt thanks to T for being such a thoughtful and thorough alpha-beta and a wonderful person.

Title: Breaths Against Skin

Prompt: #20
Rating: Mature
Warnings/Content Notes: Consensual sex, enthusiastic consent, romance, fluff, communication, partial nudity, implied sexual content, implied rimming, established relationship, Sectumsempra scars
Summary: Harry has picked up a habit of breathing “May I?” against Draco’s skin.
Medium: Digital
Artist’s Notes: Thank you to J for the beta on the drabble! For the theme of consent I wanted to depict them almost, but not quite kissing to show Harry waiting for Draco to give his consent first. I also used hearts and dialogue to signify the communication between partners. The accompanying drabble draws more on the theme of consent shown in the art in order to show Harry’s habit of asking before doing each step of the way, to continuously check consent with his partner instead of assuming the first yes is a blanket yes.

Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence; Rape/Non-con
Summary: After surviving a brutal assault, Draco tries to navigate the tumultuous waters of his mind, and embrace a bit of love and trust in his life. After all, the smallest steps forward can begin to heal the most fractured of souls.
Word count: 42695
Author’s notes: Although I have used archive warnings, I’d just like to reiterate my chosen tags for the story in this note. Trigger Warnings: sexual assault, depictions of violence and sexual assault, emotional/physical depictions and discussions concerning the aftermath of rape and rape trauma. In addition to these warnings, there are endnotes on chapters one, three, and five, as well. Please. Your mental health is important, so please do not read/stop reading if this may trigger you. This is very much Draco’s journey towards recovery, no one journey is the same as another, and recovery is never a straight line. I tried to write this story with that in mind while navigating an extremely difficult topic.

Word Count: 28500
Author’s Notes: Dear Prompter, Your inspired prompt demanded that I write it. It was a joy and a labour of love and I hope that you like it. This fic is rated T for profane language (my favourite) and discussions of “virginity” (hard air quotes).
Thanks: A huge thank you to my betas, whose beatification I will be applying for now that this fic is finished and I have time again. Thanks also to 4G, who enriched this story. Final thank you to the mods for making this fest happen!

Author’s Notes: During my two visits to Planned Parenthood, I was asked screening questions about Domestic Violence. I thought that was awesome, so I included similar questions during Harry’s visit to the clinic. Thanks to my betas A & S for all of your time, help, and encouragement.

Warnings/Content Notes: Past Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Mentions of Alcoholism Recovery
Summary: Falling asleep with Harry Potter mid-argument, while completely pissed, was something Draco could never have predicted happening when he returned for his repeat seventh-year at Hogwarts. But it happened. And then it happened again. And again. At some point the alcohol was gone, and they were just falling asleep side by side night after night, escaping nightmares together. It isn’t anything more than that, even if sometimes it really feels like it is.
Word Count: 9025
Author’s Notes: So I claimed the prompt ‘one of the two is asexual (but not sex-repulsed)’. I enjoyed writing for this prompt, as it’s something I’ve been wanting to write for a while. I hope that you enjoy it! Beta’d by E.

Author’s Notes: Many thanks to G for being so patient with me, for listening to me all the times I got insecure over the plot, or the sub-plot, or the relationships, and for helping me think all the times I got stuck! Thank you so much to my wonderful beta T for understanding what I wanted to say and making sure other people would be able to understand, too. And for erasing all the wrong commas, Merlin only knows how many commas you erased!

Artist: Anonymous
Prompt: # 42
Rating: R
Warnings/Content Notes: kitchen kiss, resolved pining, nonverbal consent
Summary: can I kiss you?

Harry: *staring longingly at Draco’s thigh*
Draco: *raises eyebrow, reaches for Harry’s glasses*

Artist’s Notes: I chose this prompt because it seemed like the simplest way to show consent – a question and an answer.

Can I Kiss You?

FIC & ART:

Title: It’s a Plan
Author/Artist: Anonymous
Prompt: #67
Rating: T
Warnings/Content Notes: mention of past rape/noncon
Summary: Harry and Draco are in a relationship, but Draco was raped in the past, and cannot kiss Harry on the lips or have sex. He does enjoy forehead kisses, cuddles, and showing affection. Harry understands, and gives Draco the kind of love and support Draco needs.
Word Count: 2,546
Author’s Notes: This is my first time participating in a fest. When I read the prompts, I got an immediate image in my head that I wanted to draw. I wasn’t planning on writing the story, too, but before I set pencil to paper, the words just fell out and insisted on being written down. Many thanks to the incomparable A for the above-and-beyond beta. Your input vastly improved the story. I couldn’t resist messing with it further, so any remaining mistakes are all mine.

FIC:

Title: the strength in letting go
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: #4
Rating: Teen
Warnings/Content Notes: no content warnings apply
Summary: Some relationships will end. This is something that everyone should be aware of, and there is no shame in ending a relationship. These things happen, and certainly, no one should stay in an unhappy relationship. We don’t want to have people learning to maintain their suffering here—only fix what can be fixed.

In which Harry and Ginny seek counselling when their marriage is on the rocks—it just doesn’t work out quite like Harry’s wanted it to.

Author’s Notes: Many thanks to S for beta’ing for me and turning my jumble of words into a story

the strength in letting go

Title: Silenced by the Night
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: 21
Rating: Mature
Warnings/Content Notes: None
Summary: After a spell goes horribly wrong, Harry has to deal with the loss of his eyesight. It’s such terrible timing, too, because how is he supposed to find out what Malfoy has been up to in the Room of Requirement? It’s not like he can ask the git, not only because it’s Malfoy, but also because the Slytherin has suddenly lost his voice. While they’re both trapped in the hospital wing, however, Harry discovers there’s so much he didn’t know about Malfoy, and it’s highly intriguing, but also a bit alarming. Where did all these confusing feelings come from all of a sudden? And what is Harry going to do about them?
Word Count: 55537
Author’s Notes: I never thought this day would come. I can’t believe this thing is finally finished. There are no words to describe how much I love my friend, who let me rant and freak out for hours, who helped me through this without complaining once. I love you so much! Thank you to my beta for your dedication, the time and effort you put into helping me with this disaster of a fic. I don’t know how to thank you! You’re not only the best beta I could have wished for, you’re an incredible friend and I love you so much! I feel so lucky to have you guys in my life! Lastly, I wouldn’t have written this fic, if it weren’t for this great fest. A big thank you to the mods for organizing it! This was an amazing idea!

Silenced by the Night

Title: Team Slytherdor
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: 53
Rating: Teen
Warnings/Content Notes: Underage, Harry and Draco are both 14.
Summary: Rolanda Hooch takes the Slytherdor Quidditch team to the Sheffield Central Travelodge for some team bonding.
Word Count: 8844
Author’s Notes: This is my attempt to give Harry James Potter some of the fun, awkward teenage experiences that he missed out on in canon. It’s set during Harry and Draco’s Fourth Year when for Authorly Reasons there are no Death Eaters and Voldemort has not been resurrected.

Thank you to the mods for organising such a fantastic fest! Thank you to everyone on the Drarry Discord for talking through ideas with me, especially F, G, G, G, S, C and A.

And thank you to NH, a beta with the enthusiasm of a Gryffindor, the work ethic of a Hufflepuff, the sly humour of a Slytherin, and the comma herding abilities of a Ravenclaw.

Title: Teach Me
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: Prompt 35
Rating: M
Warnings/Content Notes: No warnings apply.
Summary: “If you can’t learn Occlumency, then you can’t become an Auror.”

No. All of this couldn’t be for nothing. Harry hadn’t spent so much time proving himself, proving that he was more than just a famous name for all of this to go to shite. “This can’t be the end.”

“I have someone in mind that could teach you if you are willing, but I can’t guarantee he will teach you, especially considering your… past.”

“You don’t mean Malfoy, do you?”

Word Count: 34,490
Author’s Notes: I would like to thank my beta Dean and Cas for helping me look this over after editing. I appreciate you both so much. And also J and R for listening to me and helping me mentally. I needed all the support you both gave me.

Teach Me

Title: A Day in the Life
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: # 51
Rating: Explicit
Warnings/Content Notes: Established relationship, switching, Anal sex
Summary: Harry and Draco have been together for years. They have a great sex life. Great and perfectly normal. Sometimes they have sex, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes it takes a little persuasion… but not really that much. Ok, barely any.
Word Count: 5,597
Author’s Notes: For prompt 51: Established relationship: Harry and Draco have been together for years and it’s series of vignettes of regular days. One of them really wants to have sex and the other one is busy working or something. Where is the line between acceptable and unacceptable persuasion? In some cases they end up having sex, in some they don’t; in some Draco’s the one who wants to have sex, in some Harry is.

Thank you to my wonderful friends, F, K and J for letting me bounce ideas off you, for looking over things, for being amazing. I love you all.

Thank you to the brilliant mods… I can’t tell you how awesome I think you are. Thank you to everyone reading.

A Day in the Life

Title: Cherished
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: Own Prompt
Rating: NC-17/Explicit
Warnings/Content Notes: Vampire Draco, established relationship, light bondage, rough sex, biting, bottoming from the top, background Ginny/Luna
Summary: Ever since Draco was turned into a vampire he hasn’t touched Harry, and Harry desperately wants to know why. When they finally turn, surprising revelations are made.
Word Count: 2700
Author’s Notes: For my take on the theme of consent, I wanted to look at an established relationship where the needs of one of the partners had changed, and how a couple would communicate that. I thought turning into a magical creature was a good option for a couple of wizards together, plus I can never get enough of vampire Draco 🙂

Cherished

Title: Beautiful Eyes and Dark Blue Skies
Author: First-time Fest Participant ⚡⚡⚡
Prompt: # 95
Rating: T
Warnings/Content Notes: None applicable.
Summary: Everybody knew about the rivalry that brewed between the two kings living in neighbouring kingdoms and not much changed after one of them died. This surely meant that when their children met at the age of sixteen, both princes and heirs to their respective thrones, they would develop a deep all-consuming hatred for each other as well. Surely they would not happen to like one another. Surely not.
Word Count: 5,720
Author’s Notes: This is my very first time participating in such a huge fest, a Drarry one at that, and I truly hope that everyone who reads this story really enjoys it.

Beautiful Eyes and Dark Blue Skies

Author: First-time Fest Participant ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Prompt: # 48
Rating: E
Warnings/Content Notes: There is a very short part of this fic that could be interpreted as dub con – please see fic endnotes for more details if you are concerned.
Summary: Draco sighs. “What kind of absolute twit has the chance to have sex with the Chosen One and can’t go through with it?” // In which Draco studies with Gryffindors, learns a new spell, and navigates the difficulty of being in a not-so-casual secret relationship with his childhood nemesis.
Word Count: 8721
Author’s Notes: Thank you so much to the mods for running this fest – I’m so excited to participate and to see all the other entries 😀 Huge thank-yous to S and J for beta reading – you guys rock! I loved my prompt, so I hope you enjoy what I’ve done with it.

Weekly Roundup 1

hdconsentfest:

Hey All! Here’s our first HD Consent Fest Weekly Roundup! If you’ve missed some of the works as they’ve been released, here’s the list of what was posted this week.

Thanks to all the creators, (cheer)readers, and commenters for getting the fest of to a cracking start! ❤

ART:

Title: Suits and Serenity
Artist: Anonymous
Prompt: 3: One works as a public defender, the other works for the prosecutor’s office. The sparks fly both in and out of the courtroom. # 3
Rating: PG
Warnings/Content Notes: Established married relationship
Summary:
“You looked hot out there today.”
“Don’t I always?”
“Mhm, can I kiss you now?”
“I thought you’d never ask”
Medium: Digital Art
Artist’s Notes: So, I decided not to go with explicitly showing what they do after Harry attains Draco’s consent, because I felt it would take away from the essence of the art. My vision is to show that even after years of their marriage, Harry and Draco still ask for each other’s consent. They look comfortable in the drawing due to an established relationship, but that doesn’t mean that it would stop them from asking each other’s permission before just kissing. Thank you to the mods for arranging such a wonderful fest! It truly has been a pleasure!

Suits and Serenity

Title: Cold Like Fire
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: Draco giving a “Consent is Sexy” training at the Ministry after there had been problems with witches and wizards being harassed. Draco using Harry to demonstrate ways to ask for consent?
Rating: Mature
Warnings/Content Notes: Discussions of consent theory, reference to rape in theory only
Summary: Head Auror, Harry Potter, had no problem with mandatory consent training for his team. He’d actually been looking forward to it, that is until he discovered who the teacher was. Now, he had no idea how he was going to get through the training without throwing a hex at Draco Malfoy. Or a punch.

Author’s Notes: Love to my beta BB.

Cold Like Fire

Title: A Gift for Draco
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: #66 – When Harry can’t think of a Valentines present for Draco, he teams up with budding photographer Pansy Parkinson to take nudes (the photos can only be seen by the person who gave them and the person they’re given to) all over Hogwarts to surprise his boyfriend. # 66
Rating: Explicit
Warnings/Content Notes: No Warnings Apply
Summary:Though their new relationship is going well, both Harry and Draco have trouble communicating and are holding back from taking things to the next level–both emotionally and sexually. When Harry decides he is ready for more, he stumbles over how to start the conversation, but figures out a plan with the help of his friends. He comes up with the perfect Valentine’s Day gift to show Draco trust, commitment, and desire: sexy pictures of his naked arse. Thankfully, Pansy Parkinson has a camera and is willing to help…
Word Count: 33,492
Author’s Notes: Huge thank you to the Mods for this awesome, positive sexy Consent Fest! It was a lot of fun to explore themes of consent, changing boundaries, and finding creative ways to communicate consent in a relationship. Many thanks to my beta, D, who fixed typos, workshopped dialogue, and squished a bunch of ramblings into a story with a theme. Disclaimer – I don’t own them.

A Gift for Draco

Title: When Nightmares Lead to Day Dreams
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: #22
Rating: Explicit
Warning/Content Notes: No archive warnings apply
Summary: Harry Potter didn’t want to return to Hogwarts for 8th year, concerned that the castle held too many terrible memories. Lacking any other plan, though, he agreed. He soon discovered how right AND how wrong he was.
Word Count: 9,231
Author’s Notes: First, I want to thank the ConsentFest Mods for pulling this incredibly timely and important fest together. I also want to applaud their patience with a newbie like me who doesn’t know time management if it blocked my schedule itself. The prompts for this fest were beyond amazing and I had such a hard time narrowing down the selection. I only hope I have been able to please my prompter and help explore ideas of consent. Secondly, I literally would not be half the writer I am without my amazing, selfless Betas that came together and spent their weekend working with me. To C and G – you are my literal baby angels and I am so happy we have been able to connect over this crazy, intoxicating world of Harry Potter Fanfic!

When Nightmares Lead to Day Dreams

Title: I Don’t Want This to Be a Mistake

Prompt: # 49
Rating: Explicit
Warnings/Content Notes: Lots of sexual tension, professor!Harry, Father!Draco
Summary: Consent can be tricky when Harry is Scorpius’ professor.
Word Count: 5500
Author’s Notes: A big thanks to my beta, L!

I Don’t Want This to Be a Mistake

Title: Treat Your Body Like A Temple
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: Whether it be for kissing, touching, or sucking, Harry’s gotten into the habit of breathing, “May I?” against Draco’s skin. #20
Rating: mature
Warnings/Content Notes: No Archive Warnings Apply
Summary: It hadn’t been easy, and it hadn’t been fast, but after many years Harry had finally gained Draco’s trust. Now he woke up next to him every day, and he knew just the way to show the Slytherin how grateful he was for that.
Word Count: 1707
Author’s Notes: Beta-read by the wonderful MM (thank you love<3). This was my first attempt at smut, so I do hope it was somewhat decent. It was great fun to write this, especially for this amazing fest. Consent is such an important subject, and it should get more attention. I hope I did that in this ficlet. Great thank you to the mods of the fest why reminded my dumb ass to submit this after I sort-of completly forgot, whoops.

Treat Your Body Like A Temple

Title: Bloody Tease
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: # 50 – Harry gives consent loudly and with delicious details, but somehow Draco just isn’t convinced. (Or basically Draco teases Harry mercilessly).
Rating: E
Warnings/Content Notes: Explicit sexual content
Summary: Draco wants to be sure that Harry is willing. Very, very sure.
Word Count: 1433
Author’s Notes: Thank you to s for the beta on this fic.

Bloody Tease

Title: Have Me Then
Author: Anonymous
Prompt: OWN
Rating: NC-17
Warnings/Content Notes: unenthusiastic consensual sex between Draco and another character (detailed in the notes before the fic on AO3, explaining this tag better), infidelity, Female Draco, Canon What Canon, Alive Sirius, Cousin Incest (heavily implied, not visual), Misogyny, Slut Shaming By Another Character
Summary: In Draco’s world, women are expected to be demure, non-lusting creatures. They are expected to be devoted while their husbands cater to base desires with women of the evening. All passions they are permitted lie between dusty, well-worn pages of romance novels. Draco doesn’t want to be that woman, but as she spends her days—unfulfilled—in the arms of a boring lover she dreams of more. Potter is so much more than she could imagine.
Word Count: 3,632
Author’s Notes: Decided to do before for a brief warning. Draco consents to sleep with Theo, but when they are together she clearly is unenthusiastic and fulfilling a duty. This might be traumatic for some. I did not write it with the intention of dubious consent and K my beta, and one of the mods of the fest, assured me it was within the bounds of the fest. It was written to showcase how she wants better than what she is getting with him. The idea of consent that I tried to work with was that Draco has been raised in shame and Harry is patient with her, asking her to voice what she wants from/with him—as explicitly as she can. It is supposed to be a woman finding her own agency in sex, and knowing that it is okay to want more and not settling for anything less. IDK if it came across like that, I kinda wrote it in two days since I had a lot going on and forgot I had a deadline. It was definitely intended to be longer.

Tagged “Always A Girl” because I kept getting traffic on a thing and some DM’s asking for a continuation. This ISN’T a continuation but *jazz hands* more Female Draco.

Have Me Then

Title: A Hag, a Hex, a Tale of Redemption

Summary: A fuck-or-die fairytale in which Draco Malfoy lives a despicable and unapologetic life — that is, until he’s cursed to die unless he can fall in love with and fuck Harry Potter.
Word Count: 43,345
