Title: For Their Unconquerable Souls
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this for fun and not profit.
Rating: R/M
Pairings: Harry/Draco, Lucius/Narcissa (past Harry/others).
Warnings: DH Spoilers, but ignores epilogue. Profanity, slash and het sex, blood, and angst.
Summary: Having Harry Potter assigned as the mediwizard for his father when Lucius is hit with a mysterious Dark curse is not something Draco ever thought he would encounter. And then Potter spoke rudely to him! And had the gall to be attractive! And to have past lovers! It was a wonder that Draco could tolerate him. Not to mention his parents’ opinions of the situation.
Author’s Notes: This fic is dedicated to duchessa, who made a generous donation to the livelongnmarry LJ community to support equal marriage rights for gays and lesbians. She requested the Malfoy POV on various scenes from my novel-length story Bloody But Unbowed, which is Harry’s perspective on the situation that makes him Lucius Malfoy’s mediwizard. Therefore, this story won’t make much sense if you haven’t read Bloody But Unbowed, and will tend to skip some chunks of time, as well as include scenes that weren’t in the original, taking place when Harry was asleep or elsewhere. Like Bloody But Unbowed, this story is titled, with a slight twist, after a line from William Ernest Henley’s poem “Invictus”: “I give thanks to whatever gods may be/ For my unconquerable soul.”
