dracobigbang teaser #2!
woot, my draco big bang is finished and submitted! i finally just had to close my eyes and send it off, even though i'm still partly afraid there are glaring mistakes in there that i missed even with many hours of editing. but it's at at a little over 24k, and overall i think i'm pretty happy with it! i can't wait until the comm goes live (and i'm dying to see the artwork!), but until then i thought i'd post an updated summary and a second teaser! enjoy, and congratulations to everyone else who was able to finish! :-)
Title: Worth Fighting For
Summary: Though seven years have gone by since the War, Draco can’t seem to get out of the past. When he hits rock bottom, it’s his three-year-old son Scorpius who makes him realize he wants to take control of his future. And that decision is only the beginning of a journey that will change him forever. Draco/Hermione.
After putting Scorpius to bed, he figures it’s time he had some new groceries-he’s down to odd combinations of leftovers now-so he ventures out into the cold night to get some. There are a few people around, but he’s so lost in his own thoughts that he doesn’t even really notice the sound of footsteps behind him until it’s too late. Someone grabs his arm and pulls him into a deserted side street, pinning Draco’s arms behind his back before he can get his wand. Another masked figure jumps out a few leagues in front of them, and Draco is pretty much helpless as the curse hits him, and it takes everything he has to hide the wince as he hears a couple of his ribs crack.
But there’s absolutely no way he’s letting these assholes get the best of him, and just seconds after the curse hits, kicks his leg back, aiming high.
A startled fuck! lets him know he hit the jackpot, and he smirks as his captor staggers and releases him, and Draco has his wand out in one fluid motion.
“Sectumsempra!”
He still hasn’t forgotten how that felt-and the lingering scars are constant reminders-and the former Death Eater in front of him is on the ground instantly, blood everywhere.
He spins around just as his enemy behind him sends a curse at his leg, and he doesn’t get out of the way in time because his ankle explodes in pain, sending him to the pavement. The Death Eater is then standing over him, and all Draco can see through the mask is an ugly sneer twisting his lips.
“Our actions will only escalate from here, Malfoy. Consider yourself warned.”
And then his huge fist slams into Draco’s face, and that’s the last thing he sees before he passes out.
