I prompted myself with Charlie/Draco: domesticity, mystery, and porlock.
This ficlet takes place in the universe of
A Decent Man (NC-17; Charlie/Draco; 10,500 words: Draco finds his way home), which I wrote for
celandineb in 2010.
Domesticated with Care (PG-13; Charlie/Draco; 100 words)
Draco came to understand the secret of his domesticity with Charlie as no mystery: Charlie was as caring and giving to him as ever any porlock was to an Aethonon. Like the shy beings who cared for the flying horses in their charge, Charlie's care taught Draco how to feel, how to find honesty, how to love without apology. Draco knew that he would never be as safe as he was in Charlie's hands, and as those strong hands held him, hard, by the hips, as Charlie slid home, there was no one else with whom Draco longed to be.
