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.

Summary: If Harry had to guess which out of he or his Auror Partner, and tentative new friend, Draco Malfoy, would turn out to have Veela ancestry, his answer would be: neither, because that is ridiculous. Finding out the answer is actually him, and that his Veela heritage is wreaking havoc on his ability to work, sleep, and above all be in the same room as Malfoy, is a surprise to say the least. But this is fine. Harry’s been through worse, and he can just sit this one out, regardless of how much his body is screaming for the one person he doesn’t want to ask for help. Can’t he?
Content/Warning(s): Creature fic: Veela.

This story, god, it's so gorgeous. The pining, Jesus!

But let me start at the beginning. Harry is a Veela. :D And he's come into his Veela heritage because there's someone in his life for whom he cares very, very deeply, and seeing them in danger was trigger. It's Draco. Harry knows it's Draco. Ron knows it's Draco (who is awesome, by the way, Ron, I mean. Okay, so is Draco I just now I was talking about Ron :D). But the thing is, they are beginning to be friends, and well, Harry doesn't want to ruin that, so he does what he thinks it's best; he locks himself in his home and avoids Draco like the pest. Only not being around Draco is driving him crazy – literally, he's just not well, and Draco on the other hand, is hurt because he also thought they were friends. Eventually Harry comes clean.

Oh my god, it's beautiful, I'm telling you. The pining, the sheer want, it's got some hilarious moment, comfort and yummy sexy sex. :D
