• On One's Knees - Team Fanon
  Wordcount: 32,239
  Rating: NC-17
  Warnings: Lots of swearing, I know that bugs some people
  Summary: Five years after the final battle at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy has been paroled from Azkaban and works nights as a janitor at The Daily Prophet. Harry Potter, recently married to Ginny Weasley, is training as a Healer at St. Mungo's. One wastebasket=one head injury=our story.
  Author's Note: A number of people helped me with this story. After the reveal, I will give them their due. I am one of those people who really relies on their betas. As I've said before, they make it much better. I would like to dedicate this story to sistermagpie, who shares my love for Draco Malfoy in all his glorious perfect imperfections.
