Title: Life Is The Flower (For Which Love Is the Honey)
Author: bafflinghaze
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 15,000 Approx.
Summary: The Malfoy Manor lands are lush and verdant. Bees hover over carpets of flowers, and ducks paddle in the pond. It is a place far removed from bustling London and pesky reporters; it is a place where Harry finds what-and who-he didn’t know he was missing.
This is such a charming story. It's beekeeper!Honey-maker!Draco! And the story actually starts when Harry buys some honey (from Luna, Luna sells honey!), and he learns that this particularly delicious honey comes from Malfoy Manor. Naturally he goes there to investigate what's the deal, and fall in love with Calico, Draco's cat, which isn't a calico at all, it's just her name. ^^
He also falls in love with the beauty of the grounds and how peaceful it is there, and of course there's Draco, you know? ;) Their interactions are just so awesome, they bicker and flirt. And I have to quote this bit that I thought it was gold:
Harry smirked. “Then surprised you’ll be. Don’t have a heart attack, alright? You are older than me, after all.”
Malfoy frowned. “Only by a few months-how do you know that?”
“How do you know that?”
They stared at each other. Harry cleared his throat; so did Malfoy.
