This is the concept of dramione_remix: for prompting, people choose a well-known couple from history, mythology, literature, folklore, legend, comics, movies, pop culture, etc. Participants then claim a prompt and "remix" that couple's story into a brand new Dramione fic or piece of art. Check out the tags for all the couples that have already been remixed. Currently, round 8 of the Dramione Couples Remix is underway; you may leave your couple prompts here.

Hot Rec:
• Lumos by anon at hd_erised (Harry/Draco, NC-17, ~42K)
Summary: Harry never expected to spend eighth year listening to Draco Malfoy wanking.

• Antediluvia by anon at hd_erised (Harry/Draco, NC-17, ~56,8K)
Summary: Everyone always forgets about the Merpeople. So did Harry until the day his, Lee’s, and Hermione’s Portkeys land at Reagan National Airport’s Arrivals dais. He’s just had to leave a job he loves and pack his entire life—literally—into his luggage. Then Malfoy and his subplots arrive, and suddenly, saving the world again, one Mermaid at a time, sounds like the perfect excuse to do something he’s always wanted.

• Written on the Heart by anon at hd_erised (Harry/Draco, NC-17, ~113K)
Summary: Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him. // When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?

• Boom Clap (The Sound of My Heart) by Anon @ hd_erised (Harry/Draco | NC-17 | 39,600)
Summary:Post-war Hogwarts has been energized by its new teaching fellows program. Where once bitter enmity divided the wizarding community, Malfoy and Potter chummily patrol hallways together whilst Granger and Zabini seek lost parts of the castle at McGonagall’s behest and Chang supervises Quidditch when not lecturing in Charms. It’s a veritable wizarding utopia and life is predictable for the first time in years. Which is, of course, when everything blows apart as the result of a drunken dare and Malfoy’s life is ruined beyond his capacity to repair it. Ever. In a million years.
