As usual, I read a variety of HP pairings this past month or so, and ended up with recs from just about every gen I regularly read from (sorry Professors!)

Title: Boats, but Not the Ocean
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] p1013
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, background Hermione/Ron
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 15,550
Content/Warnings: AU: Fusion, Groundhog Day Fusion, time loop, Auror!Harry, [tumblr.com profile] lcdrarry 2020
Summary: If Draco ever gets his hands on this Bill Murray character, he's going to kill him.
Super fun fic with Draco stuck in a Groundhog Day-esque time loop and doing his level best to figure our what he needs to do to get out! Fun and enjoyable read. :D

Title: The Gift
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] magpie_fngrl
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, brief Harry/Draco/OMC, past Harry/Ginny
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 26,069
Content/Warnings: writer!draco, Auror!Harry, internalized homophobia, D/s dynamics, sex toys, shower!sex, dirty talk, praise!kink, clubbing, voyeurism, light bondage, temperature play, bottom!harry, implied switching, rimming
Summary: "‘You’ll give me an hour of your time and I’ll take your thoughts and your worries. You’ll let me take control; dictate your actions. One hour where you’ll blindly obey me—in return for… distraction.’"
Or, in which Draco is a writer struggling with his first novel, Harry is worried about something he won't reveal, and they both try to figure out how to put their tangled past behind them and move on.
Super hot and wonderfully written fic that takes some inspiration from the Captive Prince series, though you definitely don't need to be familiar with it to enjoy (though I recommend reading!) The dynamic between Harry and Draco was wonderfully complex, and the smut was right up my alley.

Title: What We Pretend We Can't See
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] gyzym
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, background Ron/Hermione, Neville/Ginny, past Harry/Ginny
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 131,086
Content/Warnings: Auror!harry, face-fucking
Summary: Seven years out from the war, Harry learns the hard truth of old history: it’s never quite as far behind you as you thought.
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.

Title: Kintsugi: Precious Scars
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] tjs_whatnot
Pairing: Harry/Ron
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~4,800
Content/Warnings: established relationship, bottom!harry, shower!sex, *for me, [community profile] daily_deviant Banging Birthday 2020
Summary: From the prompt request: It's the summer after the war and Harry isn't doing so well. He can't seem to shut off his mind, continuously steeped in grief and guilt. He needs somebody to take care of him and help him find some peace, if only for a little while. Ron steps up.
This fic was a fest gift for me, so I’m a little biased, but it was so wonderful! Harry and Ron’s relationship was just beautifully captured.

Title: In Plain Sight
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] FangQueen
Pairing: Draco/Severus
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~5,000
Content/Warnings: AU: Severus Lives, clubbing, bottom!draco, [community profile] daily_deviant Banging Birthday 2020
Summary: Draco Malfoy has spent the last several years living as Dillon Manning ― a Muggle with few friends, perhaps a slight nicotine addiction, and a menial job at a bistro in Paris. He tries not to think about his past and the world of magic he left behind. And before that day, he'd thought Severus Snape was dead.
Wonderful fic with Draco and Severus unexpectedly crossing paths abroad and reforming their connection.

Title: Splat
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] shiftylinguini
Pairing: Albus Severus/James Sirius
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~6,000
Content/Warnings: fuck or die, gore, mild dub-con, sex magic, facials, sibling incest, *for me, [community profile] daily_deviant Banging Birthday 2020
Summary: Of all the things to happen to them, this is truly, truly the last thing James expected.
Wonderfully written (and, okay, a little bit gross, in the best way) fic with James & Albus as magical creature hunters (hooray Wincest vibes!) that end up having to do some sex magic (because ofc) to save Albus's life.

Title: The Flat on Copple Road
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] static_abyss
Pairing(s): James/Sirius, background Lily/James, mentions of Sirius/OMCs
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 1,799
Content/Warnings: bottom!james, possible infidelity?, *for me, [community profile] rarepair_shorts 2020
Summary: They're never meant to be more than a series of kisses and good hard fucks, lost in the darkness overlooking their flat. But James keeps coming back and Sirius keeps letting him in.
Seriously fabulous fic with some gorgeous writing and a wonderful relationship between Sirius and James. And the ending!! Right in the feels.
