I meant to write this for a prompt in the 2015 H/D Ever After Fest, but didn't finish it. So I wrote it for the 2016 [livejournal.com profile] hp_drizzle Fest instead. I hope you don't mind this cross-posting.

Title: East of the Sun and West of the Moon
Author/Artist: [livejournal.com profile] khalulu
Prompt: No. 30 by [livejournal.com profile] mahmfic
Pairing: Harry/Draco + side Millicent/Pansy
Rating: PG
Word Count: 5979
Content: No warnings needed, although some characters remark often about nose length, which might be rude. But it will be seen that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling and associates. No copyright infringement intended. No profit is being made from this fiction.
Summary: One stormy Thursday evening, a big white bear named Draco turns up to carry Harry away from the dreadful Dursleys. They get along fairly happily together until one night Harry’s curiosity gets the better of him, and Draco is whisked away to his wicked aunt’s castle, East of the Sun and West of the Moon. It will take a strong wind to bring Harry that far…..
A/N:This is a retelling, using Harry Potterverse characters, of the Norwegian folk tale East o’ the Sun & West o’ the Moon, as collected by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe and given a jaunty translation by George Webbe Dasent. A few lines are copied verbatim. I stayed fairly close to the original, though slashily and with a happier ending for the troll princess. Many thanks my beta, A! The illustration, from 1914, is by Danish artist Kay Nielsen – just imagine that’s Harry on the bear’s back.
