Finely Drawn Lines

by The_Sinking_Ship

Draco doesn’t consider himself an artist (though the dozens of sketchbooks lining his shelves might suggest differently). Yet ever since Potter returned to Hogwarts, accepting a teaching position alongside Draco, his drawings have taken on a rather singular focus. From the curl of his lips to the exact number of lines that form at the corners of his eyes when he laughs, Draco has catalogued every shade of one Harry James Potter between the pages of his sketchbook. So long as Potter remains none the wiser, Draco will have no trouble controlling his crush.

But when Potter comes to him with a dangerous proposition, Draco fears things are about to get so much more complicated.

“I’ve never seen myself like that before,” Harry said.
“Like what?”
“Like you see me.” Harry’s shoulders twitched in a shrug. “Happy.”

After the war, Draco and Harry are professors at Hogwarts. Confined to school, Harry suggests they strike up a physical agreement of sorts, but little does he know that the contents of Draco's sketchbooks are all just him.

Tropes:
- Frenemies with benefits to lovers
- Forced Proximity
- Boy Obsessed
- Childhood rivals
- Draco/Harry Fanfiction

Wow, this author’s writing is SO FRICKIN GOOD!!! I mean seriously they have a lyrical talent with everything they write and it is absolutely amazing. The dynamic in this one was to die for. Draco is obsessed and Harry is just so sweet and cute and flirty and I loved the development of the friends with benefits to more. The way Harry just broke all of Draco's boundaries and kept pushing for more of a relationship was adorable. I have read this one a couple times now and I just love how playful Harry is and how strict/pining Draco is. This version of my boys is definitely one of my faves as is this author!

Draco and Harry both are professors at Hogwarts and have settled into an easy friendship. Draco spends his day enjoying his life and being helplessly in love with Harry. When they start a friends with benefits relationship, Draco has to keep his feelings to himself because it is clear that Harry would never want more This was almost a five star read for me but I wanted more from Harry. I fel that we were not really able to connect with him and understand his feelings. The_Sinking_Ship is one of my favorite fanfic authors and I hope more is written soon!!

HOTTEST DRARRY EVER
OMG the spice in this fic is off the charts *fans oneself
I freaking loved this story. Draco pinning for Harry as usual, Harry oblivious also as usual.
They are both Hogwarts professors, and though I don’t like this trope, I enjoyed this fic.
Harry is absolutely powerful in his unassuming way, also appears to be a maneater but only for the press.
Draco draws people for fun. Harry is the most fun lol
