Team: I got mixed up with days, sadly. Can I still post a handful of hours late, knowing that it won’t count for team points? *
Word count: 100
Characters/pairings: Draco/Harry
Challenge: 649: Chaos
Authors Notes: Title from LIKE THEN, WHEN A THIN CRACK WAS SUSPECTED,.

Harry spends too many nights crouched over in bed, curtains drawn, tracing the pattern of footsteps on a map.

“You need to stop obsessing,” Ron tells him. Harry shakes his head, doesn’t listen.

Draco spends too many nights frantically trying to fix a broken cabinet, keep his parents alive, keep a mass murderer appeased by succeeding with an impossible mission.

Years later, Harry still dreams about Malfoy, crying in a bathroom, spiderwebbing cracks spiralling out to trace what’s thicker than water.

Heart pounding, he blinks himself awake, the dream-chaos slowly draining away. Beside him in the bed, Draco is warm.
