Summary: Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy always preferred the worst of each other; unfortunately, they had better halves.
Oh my goodness, is this fic intense! I'm quite particular about infidelity by the way this author really builds the feelings between Harry and Draco, you can really see how they both get to this point where their feelings are impossible to ignore despite their wives, and kids, and the stakes. Really gorgeous relationship between Harry and Draco, and the rest of the characters and relationships here are also brilliantly done. Definitely some angst here, and do mind the tags, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Word Count: ~50,000
Content/Warnings: fake/pretend relationship, light D/s dynamics, rimming, PTSD & discussion of mental health issues, bottom!draco, implied switching, wall!sex, harrydracobang 2018
Summary: When Pansy bets Draco that there is no chance he and Harry could carry out a genuine romantic relationship, he and Harry form a plan. But as their fake relationship progresses, Draco sees a side of Harry he never expected. Harry is struggling with something, pushing it far down inside him where he doesn't have to acknowledge its existence. Draco starts to worry, and then he starts to care, and then... horribly... he starts to fall in love.
Oh, this was such a wonderful read! It felt like a very fresh take on the fake/pretend relationship trope, and both Draco and Harry were beautifully rendered here. I really loved how big of a role mental health plays here, and the emotional journey both Draco and Harry go on to get to a healthier place. Watching their relationship unfold was such a treat, and Draco in particular stole my heart. Highly recommend!

Summary: It starts with Draco's buckwheat crepes with honeyed oranges. Or maybe it starts with his porridge with toasted walnuts and homemade apple butter. Or perhaps it starts with the cinnamon buns Draco made from scratch with mascarpone icing. Harry just knows he's hungry for more.
Oh man, I had too much fun reading this fic!! I really enjoyed the characterizations and various relationships here, and the way the author approached the ideas of forgiveness and redemption were so thoughtful and nuanced and interesting. The trio friendship gave me a lot of happy feels, and I just generally really loved the characters here and the build of the relationship between Harry and Draco. The smut was super hot, and the ending was truly lovely. Plus, some seriously drool-worthy descriptions of food!

Summary:Draco never thought he’d end up as the sole guardian of a troubled teenage girl. Harry never thought he’d end up a werewolf. Being twenty-two is hard.
Oh man, this fic was certainly a rollercoaster!! Lots of excellent feels, and though there’s definitely some heavy content (please mind the tags if domestic violence/mentions of child sexual abuse/dealing with the aftermath of either is trigger for you!) the author handles the issues in a really respectful and authentic way. Draco here in particular was really brilliantly rendered, and the slow build of feelings between him and Harry as Harry realises he’s been making some inaccurate assumptions was really lovely to see. This fic flew by and the ending was wonderfully satisfying.

Summary: Draco Malfoy, at thirty, is the youngest member of the Wizengamot. He thinks he has achieved the highest political power of which he's capable—until he learns the secret of Ragnarok, the elite corps of wizards who deal with "unsolvable" problems for the Wizengamot.
I was surprised at just how much I liked this, but I loved seeing not only a powerful Harry, but a powerful Draco as well. And even though they get a bit "dark lord" it is somehow quite believable; almost reasonable. Plus who doesn't love crazy, room destroying sex?

Summary: Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, Aurors, are forced to join a televised global race in order to provide some free positive publicity for the Ministry, despite the fact that Aurors Potter and Malfoy don't exactly get along.
Such a fun story. Interesting concept, and I loved the little interludes of Ron, Hermione and the gang watching the episodes and reacting to everything.

Summary: Someone or something is attacking Muggles and leaving them for dead. Auror Harry Potter is assigned to the case, but with his usual partner unavailable, he is stuck with the worst, most anti-social, rude, and annoying Auror ever to walk the halls of the Ministry. Or perhaps he is only that way around Harry…
Wonderful fic with a believable pacing and build-up and the perfect balance of relationship development and auror plot. I loved seeing Draco slowly gain acceptance among his fellow aurors and watching Harry fall for Draco was lovely.

Lovely read with a really stellar Draco voice. I really enjoyed his headspace here and watching him grow and learn to let himself have some happiness. The plot was compelling, and it was great watching Draco and Harry come together.

Summary: In which Draco is a high-powered magical divorce lawyer and Harry is the Unspeakable assigned to seduce him. It goes as well as one might expect.
This was such an exciting fic! The characterizations and relationships here are so sharp and wonderfully captured, and the way the plot unfolds kept me on the edge of my seat! Some really clever magical theory, and truly this was just super engaging.

Summary: Beauxbatons is hosting the first ever Quidditch Summer School for children from all over Europe, and Harry has promised to enroll Teddy as his birthday present. Meanwhile, Draco is stuck in his office, putting together the first ever Quidditch Summer School for children from all over Europe during, when he should be enjoying summer holidays.
Really wonderful fic with Draco as Quidditch instructor at Beauxbatons, organizing a Quidditch camp. And, of course, Harry comes along to enroll Teddy and gets roped into helping out and then ~feelings~ happen. I love the sense of atmosphere here - the various places in France were lovely, as was the use of French throughout. The connection between Draco and Harry was wonderful, and I really enjoyed how adult and mature they both were. Fabulous, sexy read with an extremely satisfying ending.

Summary: After the final battle, Harry breaks the Elder Wand and a curse is placed upon him. The curse remains dormant until years later when Harry accidentally touches and Elder Tree. Harry has been slowly changing into something out of a nightmare, and the shadow that has been stalking him is growing impatient. Harry's running out of time, and the only person left that can help him is Draco Malfoy.
This fic is such a gripping, fascinating read! The tone is a bit darker, what with Harry being cursed and both him and Draco racing against the clock to save him, but the way it unfolds will keep you on the edge of your seat. Fabulous characterizations and a wonderful build between Harry and Draco that feels quite natural and in-character. Plus, some searingly hot sex scenes that work so well with the story. Loved it!

Summary: A mysterious creature is loose in London, stalking and killing people. Auror Harry Potter requests the help of a Liaison from the Beast Division and gets saddled with Draco Malfoy. Will they be able to stop the creature before it claims more lives?
Awesome case!fic! A savage beast is loose in London and it's up to Auror Potter and Beast Division Liason Malfoy to find and stop it. I loved the relationship between Draco and Harry here, the antagonism that turns into a wary trust. The characterizations are great and I really enjoyed watching their growing feelings against the fascinating backdrop of the case plot. Really engaging read!

Content/Warnings: baker!harry, author!draco, bottom!draco, hd_fan_fair's career fair 2012
Summary: After the war, Harry left most of the Wizarding world behind and built a new life for himself in the Channel Islands. He wanted a nice, quiet job where he could make people happy and listen to their stories. He opened a bakery and is happy with his life. Draco is a fiction author who writes under a penname, and he's currently suffering from writer's block. His agent suggests he try writing in a new environment and rents a cottage in the Channel Islands for him for the summer.
This fic was really fantastic. Not realizing their true identities allows them a chance to really build a realistic foundation for the relationship. The careers they chose for themselves are so believable, and the sexual tension is great. Plus the wanking scene, so hot!

Summary: The things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, even if that involves a lot more form-filling, bickering, covert glancing, miscommunication, and flying furniture than we might expect.
OMG THIS FIC! It's just the greatest thing ever. First off, the Vanishing Department is the coolest, cleverest thing and the entire concept is really wonderfully fleshed out. Draco and Harry's voices are just perfection here and JFC the chemistry (and sex!) was so insanely hot. The whole thing just flew by. And then we get an awesome porny outtake with feeeeels!

Summary: Everyone always forgets about the Merpeople. So did Harry until the day his, Lee’s, and Hermione’s Portkeys land at Reagan National Airport’s Arrivals dais. He’s just had to leave a job he loves and pack his entire life—literally—into his luggage. Then Malfoy and his subplots arrive, and suddenly, saving the world again, one Mermaid at a time, sounds like the perfect excuse to do something he’s always wanted.
This fic is just so wonderful and clever and a little raw considering the current political climate, but that's part of what makes it so great. It's mostly set in present-day Washington D.C. and the politics that they're dealing with in Britain and the USA in both the Magical and Non-Magical communities is wonderful captured and portrayed. Very clever and engaging plot, brilliant characterizations and side-relationships, and a lovely development of Draco and Harry's relationship with some smut and pining and minor mistakes and a lovely resolution. This fic made for a wonderfully satisfying read, and if you're looking for something smart, witty, and politically relevant, I highly recommend!

Summary: Harry was beginning to wonder if he’d ever make anything again when Malfoy stormed through the door of Harry’s furniture shop. Now Harry’s got an impossible Ministry commission to finish, and even less energy than ever to deal with his elusive muse. That is, until he stumbles upon the surreal and beautiful world of a mysterious fae creature…
Really well-written and captivating read, with wood-worker Harry low on inspiration and struggling years after the war with nightmares, until he stumbles upon a Fae who's willing to help... for a price. I loved all the characterizations here and the build between Harry and Draco was really lovely. There's a great political plot surrounding activism for creature rights and a more just restructuring of the Wizengamot, which was really interesting and a great complement to Harry starting to wake up again to the world around him and get involved. This fic flew by!

Summary: Harry Potter left Britain after the war and didn’t look back. Ten years later, when Gringotts discovers a vault containing his parents’ belongings—including their badly spell-damaged wedding rings—he’s forced to face up to friends and family who’ve grown in ways he could never imagine, a wizarding London rebuilt beyond his expectations, and the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s the entirely unforeseen problem of Draco Malfoy.
Featuring pureblood wizarding traditions, ancestral magic, open mic nights, marriage equality, a diner in Brooklyn, and the return of Fleamont Potter.
OH, this fic was just wonderful! The Harry here mostly "dealt" with his war trauma by running away, and when he comes back to England, he slowly starts to realise how much the world and people he's left behind have changed. Draco here was AMAZING, as were all of the characters, really, and the whole fic was smart and sharp and captivating. Gorgeous build, ALL the feels, and a wonderful ending.

Summary: Harry longs to feel at home again, but he has been away for a long time, and he has a lot to contend with on his return to London: a magical mystery to investigate, a polite but prickly blond work partner with a disarming habit of blushing, a house with personality, the echoes of the war all around him, and a secret of his own.
What an absolutely absorbing tale! The case here was so interesting, and I always love a good "working together" fic—so great to see Harry and Draco slowly get to know and fall for one another, and especially for Harry to see the ways in which Draco had grown from the boy he knew. The slow burn between Harry and Draco was glorious, and so satisfying when they finally gave in! I also loved the background characters, and the strong themes of love and friendship and found family. Such a lovely, gentle, nourishing read!

OH, this fic was just marvelous! The writing was wonderful, and the characterizations and relationships here were seriously fantastic. I loved all the interactions, and watching Draco and Harry dance around each other was charming. Just the right amount of plot and mystery to keep things moving along, and a really lovely connection between Harry and Draco. Clever, wonderfully written, a fantastic use of magic, and brilliant characterizations--what more could you ask for?

The worst thing about being a Malfoy is the expectations. Marriage. Kids. It’s all so scripted.

Harry wants his arse kicked. Draco decides to grab life by the balls.
Seriously smoking hot fic with a Harry who's looking for thrills and getting a bit bored with the expected, until Draco bursts into his life. We've got unusual jobs and Animagus forms! We've got some excellent background characters and relationships! We've got some insanely hot, kinky sex! So basically all the boxes are checked, and I had SUCH fun reading this, it just flew by!

Really enjoyable, low-angst read that starts off towards the end of eighth year with a Quidditch recruiter coming to Hogwarts and continues on after the graduate and start their illustrious Quidditch careers. The build and connection between Harry and Draco was great, and I really enjoyed the background characters and the fun ~behind the scenes~ on the making of a Quidditch team. Super hot, lots of fun, and a very sweet ending. :D

Summary: There is something wrong with the Bellcrest. The heart of the place beats rotten. Everyone says so.

Where Draco is a magical property manager, Harry is a recluse, and they’re definitely not hiding from their problems in the run-down flats of the Bellcrest. Not at all. Not one bit. Absolutely brilliant fic with Draco being stripped of all his wealth and property after the war except for an extremely run-down block of flats that he now must manage and live in, in the worst part of town. He's exposed to all kinds of people and inequity that he's never had to experience before, and the slow redemption journey he embarks upon is really wonderful. A great build between Harry and Draco, some really stunning background characters, and a fabulous sense of atmosphere throughout!

Summary: Draco is lonely, Harry hates the press and it won’t stop raining in London. Harry discovers a magical street that’s close to disappearing forever and Draco realises he’s one rainy night in Soho away from finding everything he’s been searching for.
Y'all, this fic is SO GOOD! Which, no surprise coming from Writ, but I seriously adored every minute of this fic. Harry and Draco were both beautifully characterized here, and the sense of queer history and queer community in this fic gave me ALL the feels. Electric connection between H/D, some seriously hot sex, and a wonderfully hopeful and inspiring ending. Reading this is the perfect way to spend a rainy (or even a not-so-rainy) day! There's also a James/Sirius prequel fic that is GORGEOUS and I highly recommend reading as well!

Author’s Notes: I can't believe I've been working on this for over a year and a half! Shout out to all of the people who have beta-ed, whether in full or in bits and pieces, including Hannah, Rachel, Susan, Marie, Kate, and Ray. You're all amazing! And thanks to my long-suffering wife, who hates Drarry, but let me talk at her about my writing anyway.
This was a SERIOUSLY lovely read. The tone here is quite gentle, but the story doesn't feel overly soft, and the characters feel very true. All of the characters are really fantastically captured, and I just adored all of the relationships, both the one Harry and Draco form with one another, and the ones they have with their friends and family. Fabulous fic!

He’s forced to decide if it’s worth risking everything for love in a world where following his heart is a criminal offence.
This fic is SO fucking good! Don't let the tags scare you--there's some heavy content here, but it's handled with such a deft, brilliant hand, and even through the darkness there's such joy and hope. The characters here, background included, were so beautifully captured, and I just loved all the relationships.

Summary: Draco Malfoy has a Christmas choir competition to win, and Harry Potter has an orphanage that needs funding. When Luna Lovegood intervenes, they agree to help each other out: Harry will join the choir if Draco chooses to sponsor his charity.

But agreeing to work together also means getting to know each other again - in new and unexpected ways.

Ft. a chaotic festive choir, scheming friends, a healthy dose of mental health issues, one very irritating ex, and boys learning how to love and be loved.
Suuuuper sweet advent!fic with Draco working as a Healer who competes in a holiday choir competition every year. For ~reasons~ he ends up partnering with Harry to do their best to win the competition and solicit funding for the orphanage Harry manages. A really lovely build between Harry and Draco, and a dynamic that very much worked for me! The characterizations were lovely, as were all the background characters! The ending is quite sweet, as one would expect from a holiday fic!

Summary: The Ministry is very sorry that its latest mistake—an artifact that was supposed to let Aurors detect lies—blew up on Harry, and now he can detect lies every time someone tells one. (Inquiries are continuing). The Ministry is also sorry that they can't tell Harry how long the effect would last. (Unspeakables are working around the clock). And the Ministry would probably be two times sorrier if they knew that Draco Malfoy has hired Harry to find his father, who's escaped from Azkaban. (The Chosen One should be able to have a full and normal life).
An interesting premise and a laid-back, direct Harry. A lot of fun, plus a surprise guest!

Summary: Harry and Draco have been falling into bed on and off again since the last election five years ago, much to the amusement--and financial gain--of their circle of friends. But when Harry agrees to work with Draco to put Kingsley Shacklebolt into the Minister's office, they can't work side-by-side again every day and sleep together; that would be courting disaster. Wouldn't it?
Oh goodness, this was brilliant! The wizarding politics here were so freaking cool and well done and really created such a brilliant backdrop for the fic. Draco and Harry's chemistry was beyond fantastic, and the push and pull of their relationship, how their feelings grow without them really acknowledging what that means, oh, it was so good! The sex was fantastic, and I honestly just a LOT of feels throughout the whole thing. Some really brilliant side characters, and a wonderful sense of atmosphere made this fic feel incredibly real. Some heartache along the way, but a brilliant ending makes it all worth it. <3

Summary: Draco accidentally triggers a curse that pulls him into tiny glimpses of different universes. This would all be fine—what does it matter if he semi-regularly flaunts the laws of space and time? Except that in every universe, in every iteration of every possible world, Harry Potter is in love with him.

And that will not do. At all.

Where Draco is a mess, Harry is a healer, and Pansy is fabulous in velour track suits.
Super interesting fic in which Draco is essentially cursed to disappear into the ~multiverse~ getting pulled in and spat out at random. The story is told non-linearly, and watch past Draco deal with the curse and what it means, and present Draco as he and Harry come back into one another's lives and begin to circle each other. The concept here was just super interesting and the whole fic made for a really engaging read!

Summary: It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?
Fabulous read that does a marvelous job with the time travel/Groundhog Day type trope. Draco is gorgeously characterized here, and watching him grow as a person and seeing him slowly fall in love with Harry is captivating. Funny and sweet and sexy as hell.

Summary: "Love is like a Rubix Cube: there are countless wrong twists and turns, but once you get it right, it's perfect no matter how you look at it." Seventy-thousand words of pornographic discourse between two boys-turned-men that still haven't learned how to communicate like normal people – with words. Guest appearances by Pansy Parkinson, Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, Blaise Zabini, Teddy Lupin, Gregory Goyle, the Weird Sisters, ex-wives, several Weasleys, a Boggart, and a Honey Badger.
Oh GOD, this fic was wonderful! Dom!Draco was all kinds of fantastic, and I seriously loved the dynamic between him and Harry. Harry was just a gorgeous and full of fire as ever, and the characterizations for the both of them were really amazing. Some seriously kinky, dirty sex with all kinds of BDSM goodness, if that's your thing. And woven through the filthy sex was a really lovely development of Harry and Draco's relationship. Pleasantly (and surprisingly) not too much angst, and a just all around very satisfying fic.

Really fascinating fic that goes AU after book 4 and takes place five years after the end of the war. Obviously very AU so there's a lot of differences in how the war ended and who did/didn't survive, and it's always interesting to see how an author envisioned the end of the war. The characterizations here are fabulous, the plot and magical theory were really engaging, and the connection and chemistry between Harry and Draco was brilliant. Definitely a gripping read!

Summary: It’s not Draco’s fault that Potter is seeing things and Scorpius’s campaign to be the Ministry’s Creature Liaison is struggling, it’s not.

Draco didn’t ask for Potter to walk into his Ocularistry Clinic in Northern Ireland fifteen years after they last saw each other, demanding to know why the Spectroculars Draco invented malfunctioned while Potter was painting and cost him an eye.

Scorpius hadn’t asked for any of that to happen either, though, so when Potter and the rest of Draco’s patients start to see mysterious symbols through their prosthetic eyes, and the resulting blow to Draco’s public reputation drags Scorpius’s campaign through the mud, Draco is determined to fix it.

If that means trudging through a boggy moor in search of a fictional species Luna thinks is causing their problems, Draco will just have to pluck up the courage, march in with a team of Gryffindors, and be ready to battle any beast they meet.

Even if that beast looks less like the large, bipedal talking toads they find and more like the Ministry of Magic as a whole. Really super interesting and unique fic, that takes so many beloved trops (unusual jobs! mystery! ensemble cast! slow burn! powerful recluse Harry!) and combines them in such an engaging way! The plot was really well done and kept me on the edge of my seat, and all of the characters and relationships were beautifully captured. I can be a bit squeamish about eye stuff but it's definitely not super graphic at all and it didn't freak me out--I'd definitely give this a go even if that's something you're worried about.

I loved the concept of them being stuck out in the wilderness together and then we get bonding!fic and forced proximity and working together and shared bed and first times and it's just so good!!

Summary: Every day, Draco Malfoy tries. With every fiber of his being he tries. But he doesn’t much think about what he’s trying for.
--
In his final term of Healer training, Draco is unfortunate enough to find himself on a plane, the only means of traveling to a small, magical town in rural Alaska. Years of hard work have culminated in an opportunity to work with an experimental wandmaker to study the intersection of Healing and wand theory. When Draco arrives, he doesn't find the wandmaker, but does find his apprentice, who happens to have ridiculously messy hair, a lightning bolt scar, and a definitely-not-charming smile. But Draco isn’t going to let Harry Potter get in the way of him becoming a successful medical researcher, even if Potter is stubborn, hot-tempered, reckless, surprisingly gentle, has bizarre taste in music, and likes to leave his shirts unbuttoned. How hard could the next few months be?

A fic about challenging assumptions, discovering self-worth, the silver lining in failing to meet expectations, and finding friendship, love, and purpose in a small Alaskan town that’s steeped in magic.
This was so, so good! The writing here was so lush and evocative and the magical Alaskan town where this fic takes place was really vividly portrayed. Draco's voice was wonderful and I really enjoyed the tension between him and Harry at first that slowly builds into more. Lovely and feelsy and sexy and wonderful! And with some beautiful illustrations!

Summary: When Grimmauld Place begins fighting against Harry’s ownership of it, he decides he needs help to train the historic home — but little does he expect that it’ll be Malfoy who’s most suitable for the challenge. However, as Malfoy and Harry get closer, Harry comes to understand that expectations aren’t always the best path by which to guide his heart — and in the process learns just what is needed to make a house a home.
Oh gosh, this was just such a delight to read! The concept was super interesting, and I really loved watching Grimmauld Place slowly fall under Harry's command. The idea of house magic was fascinating, and I really enjoyed seeing it all come together as Draco and Harry slowly fall for one another. Lovely.

Summary: Deep in the heart of the Ministry lies the Beast Division: a hidden room where ancient beasts roam, and winged creatures soar, and grumpy giant ferrets eat all your biscuits unless you keep them well hidden. Draco Malfoy would know – he’s been working there for five years now, after all.

Meanwhile, on Level One, ex-Golden Boy Harry Potter is stuck in another interminable policy meeting, completely unaware of the mysterious comings and goings just three floors below. But when a giant snake emergency requires the assistance of a Parselmouth, Harry finds himself thrust, unprepared, into Draco’s weird and wonderful world – and naturally, he can’t keep away…
Really lovely fic that takes place about six years after the end of the war, with a Harry who's feeling a bit useless and adrift until he stumbles upon Draco in the bowels of the Ministry, taking care of confiscated magical creatures. The creatures here are great fun, and I really enjoyed the slow burn of seeing Harry and Draco fall for one another as Harry starts to wake up a bit and really start living. Wonderful characterizations, lovely build, and an ending that felt really wonderfully satisfying and well-earned. I did want to note that Harry's put on a bit of weight, and there's some body stuff/anti-fat bias that was fairly limited/mild in my opinion, but definitely present so do keep that in mind if that's an issue for you! But I really enjoyed this one overall and would absolutely recommend. :D

Oh man, I really loved reading this! Memory loss is one of those tropes I'm really particular about, and I enjoyed that Draco and Harry weren't in an established relationship when Harry lost his memory as is so often the case with this trope. The Draco POV here was absolutely wonderful, and the slow burn between him and Harry was so fantastic to read. The ending was perfect, and UNFFFF the smut was so hot!!

Summary: Draco Malfoy is a serious university student whose idea of a good time is translating Ancient Greek texts and having game night with his small circle of friends.

Harry Potter is a hard-partying adrenaline junkie who’s happiest when he’s leaping from an airplane or hurtling over a waterfall in a kayak.

They have nothing in common.

But when they reconnect in the Muggle world, curiosity prompts them to strike up a deal. Draco will show Harry what it's like to be a swotty overachiever and Harry will show Draco what it's like to live life dangerously. It'll be fun, and really, what's the worst that could happen? It's not like Draco's going to fall in love with the guy or anything.
I'm not always drawn to first person POV, but Draco's voice here was lovely, and I really enjoyed seeing him and Harry come together in this one. They both have their issues, which feel quite realistically portrayed, and there was something just so very relatable about the story here, even with all the magic and extreme sports! Great OCs, lovely relationships, and some super hot smut with a happy ending!

The relationship build and plot development were both perfectly paced and balanced, and all of your background characters and their various relationships were great and added such realism to the story! I also loved that they are both in their fifties--we don't get a lot of long!fic with older Drarry, so this was a treat!

This fic, it's just fantastic. A truly wonderful Draco, funny and witty and unapologetically criminal. His interactions with everybody are awesome, but especially his friendships with Pansy, and Blaise, and even Goyle (love what the author did with this character!). The tension and chemistry and relationship development between Draco and Harry is perfection and when they finally come together it's just lovely.

Just wow, this fic is amazing. This read like the best kind of murder mystery book, I didn't even feel like I was reading fanfiction. Draco especially was so fabulous and real and had such depth, I felt like every line was peeling back another layer, showing us another angle of this complex man. The team he created around himself was so beautiful and I thought it was super cool how the POV jumped around, showing us different perspectives. The plot! It was interesting and engaging and I didn't feel like it was overpowering the H/D romance angle, but really pushing it along. And then the sex! Which was really fucking hot.

An invitation to the Hogwarts class of 1998's 15th reunion isn't welcomed by either of them, but neither could predict how the night, and their reunion, will upend their lives.
I'll admit I was a bit skeptical going into this one given the unusual-ness of Draco's career, but the author sold me on it and then some!! Draco and Harry are both so wonderfully, richy characterized here, and I loved them both so much, both individually and as a pairing that fit so beautifully together. The settings and characters are gorgeously captured, and the build between Harry and Draco is the stuff feels are made of. And the sex!! The sex just about killed me dead!

The handling of mental health issues and sexual identity here were really excellent, and I really enjoyed how very queer this fic felt. The importance of queer community was very present and important, and honestly the fic was really lovely, with some truly stunning art!

Draco's POV was excellent throughout as he grapples with the choices he's made and who he wants to be, and the chemistry between him and Harry jumps off the screen!

I do adore a good Grimmauld Place fic, as well as fics that take place soon after the war and really delve into what that might be like mentally for Harry, and I really loved how that all unfolded here. Grimmauld ending up as this big shared house with all of Harry's friends made my heart so full, and the relationships and characterizations were all so wonderful! The relationship development played out really authentically, and both of their headspaces felt so believable to me. Plus I am ALWAYS here for Demi Harry, so that made my heart very happy!

Great read! Some really interesting and clever pure-blood customs here, and it was so great watching Harry and Draco come together! Plus Scorpius in this is just the cutest thing ever!

Summary: When Draco shows up as a suspect in a murder case after eight years of no contact, Harry has to balance his professional life and his past friendship with Draco. As suspicion mounts against him, Harry knows he has to keep his distance, but Draco makes that difficult when he starts claiming that they have a Life Debt to settle. Harry wants to trust him, but what is he hiding and where has he been these long years?
This fic is so freaking good! It's definitely a slow burn, but the kind that keeps you on the edge o your seat, desperate to keep reading to see how it unfolds. The case aspects are really well done, and are woven into the relationship aspects so perfectly that neither feels like it overpowers the other. There's definitely some darker content here, but I'd really urge you not to be scared off by the warnings, as everything is handled really skillfully and the ending is really lovely. And OMG y'all, the art here is phenomenal and just unreal. There is SO much of it and the scenes illustrated complement the writing beautifully. Definitely a gripping and captivating read that I highly recommend!

Summary: Harry Potter was eleven years old when he found out he was a wizard. He was twenty-one when he found out he was an alien. Or: How Harry Potter learned to stop worrying and love the democratic process.
W O W what a ride! As an ardent lover of both sci-fi and fantasy I was super curious to see where this mashup would go and I was not disappointed! The whole concept here was just fascinating and I really loved how it all still felt quite authentic to the HP-verse even though the majority of the fic takes place literally on another world. The enemies to lovers aspect was also really well done, and in general the whole dynamic between Harry and Draco was really interesting. A super unique read with some fun art and an ending that I found quite satisfying.

Harry and Draco become embroiled in solving cases from the past, which all seem to lead towards something wicked, lurking deep in the shadows of the wizarding world.
The individual and overarching mystery is compelling, the evolution of Draco and Harry's relationship is well-paced and believable, the characterizations are spot-on, and the art is gorgeous. Go read it!

Like basically everything from saras_girl, this was brilliant. God, I loved all of Draco's stories and how he slowly starts to come into his own, and Stanley was a delight. And a truly fantastic Ron and Hermione.

Summary: Two years after the war, and Harry’s content with his life. OK, so it’s a little annoying that he keeps winning Witch Weekly’s Most Eligible Bachelor award, and he’s not looking forward to the unveiling of an enormous gold statue of himself, but he loves his friends, and he loves being an Auror. And if he yearns for something more, something he can barely bring himself to think about, well, he’ll probably get over it. No one’s happy all the time, are they?
But then everything changes, and Harry’s thrown into a new and dazzling world he’s not sure he can actually escape from. And as time goes on, he starts to wonder: does he actually want to?
This fic was SO good!! Harry's voice was brilliant here, and the alternate universe he and Draco get themselves stuck in was super fascinating. I loved seeing the Muggle versions of the various characters, and the relationship build between Draco and Harry here was fantastic. I really loved how the past wasn't glossed over and things were difficult at complicated between them, but so very real. The sex was smoking hot, and I thought the resolution was super satisfying. Loved!!

Beware: coarse language, brief drug use, some sexual content, and consideration of issues of sexual consent.
Really great fic that goes AU pretty early in the books, with Draco turning spy for the Ministry of Magic. This was definitely a popular trope from back in the day, and I really loved this author's take on it. The seer aspect added some interesting perspective, and I thought it was handled and incorporated perfectly--it never felt like it overwhelmed the plot. I enjoyed the structure of the fic here, where the plot chapters were inter-cut with letters, Auror reports, and other non-traditional pieces of writing that clearly were relevant and moved the story forward. It was fun and well executed. And, of course, the characterizations were great. I love that Draco doesn't lose any of his spark, and that his bitterness over how things went down during the war is very obvious. It made for a redeemed but still recognizable Draco, and how Harry reacts and interacts with Draco is really wonderful. Great slow build of Harry's feelings, and while the main fic doesn't have the sex, the sequels more than make up for it.

Summary: Draco Malfoy wouldn't go back to England for anything less than an exceptional case. Being asked to figure out why Harry Potter can't control his magic might be exceptional enough to qualify.
This fic...well, it's hard to say in just a few words how amazing it is. It's got a absolutely magnificent Draco, some very clever magical theory, seriously amazing side characters, and a beautifully complex Harry. Draco's job was super cool, as was the whole reason for him being involved with Harry's particular case. The build here is very slow, but it's beautiful, and when Draco and Harry finally come together, it's so, so worth it! Some angst along the way, but I promise, you're in good hands here, and the ending is perfect.

Fabulous fic with an Auror Harry who's a bit lost and really just going through the motions until Draco Malfoy crosses his path again and he starts to wake up. The characters and relationships here were all so delightful, and the slooow build between Harry and Draco was immensely satisfying. Really delightful and heartwarming.

I normally am not a fan of ginny bashing, but it kind of works for this fic. I love the dynamic between Draco and Harry is this fic, Draco as a wizarding divorce lawyer and Harry so captivated by him, especially in the "courtroom".

This fic was so unbelievably fantastic! The development of their relationship was perfectly pace, the tension and build-up was believable, and the dialogue was witty and funny. I loved characterizations of Harry and Draco here, and the side characters and original characters were truly fantastic (one of my favorite Ron's ever!). Plus there is mystery, and plot, and hot switching sex! Seriously such a great read.

Summary: Draco Malfoy struggles with changed fortunes, shifted alliances, an ugly war, and an unusual spell, with the help of a concerned professor, an insightful house-elf, and an unexpected Gryffindor friend.
Gorgeous fic that goes AU after OotP. This has so many great things in it: spy!draco, cursed!harry, model!draco, sacrifice, hot sex, and a wonderful slow burn. The characterizations here are fantastic. One of my favorite Snape's and Dean is another stand-out character. Draco, of course, totally steal the show, as he should. I love that we get inside of his mind while he's still in school and see why he makes the choices he makes. He feels wonderfully real and in-character, and while I loved watching his relationship with Harry develop, that almost feels secondary to Draco's overall journey throughout the fic. And the sequel is a wonderful continuation in this universe. We get to learn more about Draco's past experiences during the war and see him and Harry work through their relationship and overcome the difficulties that two people with such fucked up pasts are bound to have. Very gripping series. :D

This fic has some confusing elements, but they are pretty well explained in the story and it makes for a unique story. Harry & Draco's relationship just evolves so naturally and you get to see them reach this perfect understanding of each other, it's great.

I put off reading this story for so long because of the name, but I really enjoyed this one. Some people think it's way too long, but it's sweet and has some of the hottest sex scenes ever.

Summary: Lucius curses Harry and Draco into a forced marriage. They're required only to live together, not to be together, and so both of them pursue relationships on the side. But as time passes, things change.
I must admit that I am kind of a sucker for bonding fics, and this one was incredibly intricate; the forced marriage woven into the secondary plot-line and Harry's "problem". I love watching the characters slowly come together in this one and get their happy ending, despite all the angst along the way.

He's not sure whether he should be more surprised, worried, or amused when Draco Malfoy comes to Metamorphosis and requests an actor who can play his boyfriend so that his parents will disown him. Yet Harry has even more dangerous choices after he creates Brian, Draco's "perfect" boyfriend. Draco doesn't know who Brian is, but he's trying to find out—and now so is Harry.
God, this story is just so friggin' intriguing and unique. And even though the premise sounds a bit crazy, it totally works. You can perfectly see Harry's reasoning and why he would choose this for himself. And I love me some confident Draco! Plus, it was really interesting having a story set in a anti-homosexual wizarding world, since so many fics go the tolerant route.

Summary: After the war, many people decide to leave for uninhabited but magical worlds. On the eve of his immigration to a new world called Hurricane, accompanied by his friends and godson, Harry discovers that Draco Malfoy is also on the list of emigrants.
This almost seems like an AU, because Harry and the gang leave for an unknown magical world, but they all still have their canon past. The world is so interesting and I really love the idea of the wandless magic in this fic, very unique! Plus the connection between Draco and Harry is fantastic and the writing is fabulous as always.

Summary: When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, there's unfortunately only one person in the country with the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It's obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Draco's never been able to back down from a challenge... especially from Potter.
Really engaging and wonderfully written series that sucked me in from the first word! The characterizations here are wonderful across the board, but Draco in particular is just fabulous, with a really great voice and POV. His profession as a Mind Curse Healer is super fascinating with some very cool magical theory, and the way it allows him and Harry to really get to know and fall for one another was so great to read! Plus, some great plotting and mystery to keep you on the edge of your seat! While the first fic can absolutely be read as a standalone, the second fic--with a newly established Drarry relationship working out the kinks as they continue to try and track down the baddies--is extremely satisfying...and hot!

I am in love with this story! Normally epilogue compliant stories aren't my favorite, but the "what-if?" aspect of this fic was so captivating. You get to go on this journey with Harry and see him figure out what his life could have been like, and then watch him come back, and start taking steps to make that life happen. I love, love, love the pet snakes and the crazy careers that just work, and the ballroom sex was hot!

I especially love this author's little details that just make this fic so real; the string, "yes", the weekly polyjuice pub crawl, and the talking cupboards. And the sex scenes are just delicious and emotional. Gahh, just so awesome!

At first, anyway.
This trilogy is long! But so, so good! The plot is so detailed and intricate, and I love the interactions between Draco and Harry and Ron and Hermione. The auror training setting is different and fun.
