"They're just not the same" except for they totally are: Draco Malfoy and the Weasley twins

So I was doing this meme, and amorette asked me What is one HP pairing you have always wanted to write but never got to it yet?

My answer, immediately, was: George Weasley and Draco Malfoy. My comment explaining why became massive, so I thought I’d do a post instead.

So it’s no secret that I really like it when parallel characters, literary mirrors, pair off. See all of my favourite pairings: Harry/Draco, Buffy/Faith, Thor/Loki, etc etc. And I think George and Draco have mountains of potential, whether it’s weird post-trauma friendship or hurt/comfort healing love or nasty non-con or dub-con. The biggest reason for that is that there are loads of textual connections between the Weasley twins and Draco Malfoy, especially in their dark sides - but also in their talents.
