Summary: In which Auror Potter has gone AWOL, Draco Malfoy is a bounty hunter, and an All-Beings-friendly music festival is under threat.
Lovely Beltane fic with Auror Harry gone rogue because there's a mole in the department, and Bounty Hunter Draco sent to bring him in. Fun case and some great sexual tension throughout.

Title: Up here (everything is different)

Summary: After the war, Draco left England and made a new life for himself, working as a mountain rescue specialist in the alps and trying to become an entirely different person. He's not happy, not quite, but he's safe and he's stable and it's better than nothing. Then, Harry Potter shows up.
Great fic with Harry struggling in the wake of an abusive relationship and escaping to the alps where Draco has been doing his own healing since the end of the war. I really enjoyed the characterizations here, and the slow and gentle way things developed between Harry and Draco. The 2nd person was really effective, and the whole thing was just lovely!

Title: Exiled (Locked on AO3)
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] A_factorygirl_69
Pairing: Harry/Draco, past Draco/Astoria, past Harry/Ginny
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~19,500
Content/Warnings: rimming, auror!harry, bottom!harry, bottom!draco, switching, [community profile] hd_fan_fair Travel Fair 2016
Summary: Draco is declared persona non grata by the Ministry after the War. Harry has been tasked with keeping an eye on him, ensuring he stays out of England.
Really enjoyable read with Draco exiled from Great Britain for ten years and Harry as his assigned "parole officer" who, of course, starts to fall for him after years of meetings. I really enjoyed the characterizations here and the ending was lovely.

Title: Take These Lies
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] PennyGalleon
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, brief Draco/OMC, background Ron/Hermione, Blaise/Oliver, Blaise/Daphne
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~19,700
Warnings/Content: Auror Harry Potter, Bar Owner Draco, drinking, hidden identity, Accidental Voyeurism, Rimming, Anal Sex, bottom!Draco, [tumblr.com profile] hd-erised 2021
Summary: There’s a portrait of his godfather in Draco Malfoy’s potions shop and Harry needs to know why.
But that’s not why he keeps coming back.Really wonderful fic with Draco running an underground gay bar/speakeasy that Harry, of course, manages to stumble into while glamoured. I really enjoyed the way the hidden identity aspect played out, and the flirting and banter and tension between Harry and Draco throughout was absolutely brilliant! Super hot and just an all around awesome read!

Title: The Habit of a Foreign Sky
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] Etalice
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 20,314
Warnings/Content: unusual career, past relationship/getting back together, non-linear timeline, bottom!draco
Summary: When Harry buys an abandoned sanatorium on impulse, he can think of only one person capable of helping him with the bonding ritual: his ex, Draco Malfoy, who he hasn't seen in five years.
Really beautifully written fic with Harry and Draco reconnecting after a difficult break up years before. Harry's POV was wonderful, and I really appreciated the way both their past and present relationship unfolded. There's angst here, but the kind that feels satisfying because it's messy and real and you can feel the love of these two shining throughout the prose. Just lovely!

Title: Fearful Trill
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] Vukovich
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, background Ron/Hermione
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~29,600
Warnings/Content: Sick Harry, Head Auror Harry, Bottom Harry, Terminal Cancer, recreational drug use, Minor Character Death, Enemies to Lovers, Hurt/Comfort, semi Public Sex, First Time, Rimming, [tumblr.com profile] hd-erised 2021
Summary: Harry should have come out and met someone when he was younger.  He should have seen a doctor about the pain in his hip while youth was still on his side.  Now, he's made his peace with dying young, but maybe not with dying alone.

Draco should have gotten the Kiss.  He should have died in Azkaban decades ago.  Instead, guards throw him in a Ministry lift with a dying man who could stand to live a little.
This was such a fascinating fic!! There was something... vaguely dystopian about the vibe of this fic,a kind of starkness that's hard to describe, but there was such a strong sense of atmosphere throughout the fic that worked so beautifully with Harry's somewhat fatalistic outlook and the grim yet humorous tone. The smut was seriously hot and I really enjoyed the tension between Harry and Draco and the way things slowly developed. The ending was perfection, and I adored that it's definitely a happy/hopeful ending, but it's also not a totally magical fix/cure-all. It felt quite satisfying, and this whole fic just drew me in from the start!

Title: The Ghosts of Hogwarts Past
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] writcraft
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, past Harry/OMC, background Blaise/Ginny, Hermione/Millicent, Ron/Padma

Summary: Draco has hardly had time to bask in his promotion to Head of Slytherin House when he gets news of Harry Potter’s return to Hogwarts. With his increased workload, the reappearance of the ex he never got over, the ghost that won’t let him sleep, and some curious coded diaries, it’s shaping up to be a hell of a year.
OH my goodness, I really enjoyed this one!! Non-linear doesn't always work for me but I really enjoyed the way the narrative unfolded here, showing Harry and Draco getting together in two timelines (and falling apart in the first). The build between them was wonderful and UNFF the whole thing was super hot!

Title: Beneath the Wave
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] moonflower_rose
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, brief Harry/Ginny

Word Count: ~30,000
Warnings/Content: Curse Breaker Draco Malfoy, sick!draco, Hurt/Comfort, pining, kid!fic, [tumblr.com profile] hd-erised 2021
Summary: Harry is done with a life in the spotlight. No more adventures, no more mortal peril. He wants a quiet life of food and friends, and family.

He even manages to have it for a while, until suddenly there are giant rabbits that need ferrying to a mysterious island, and a handsome Draco Malfoy, and Harry's right back in the middle of the action again, despite his best efforts.This was such a lovely fic! The descriptions of food were truly mouthwatering, and I absolutely adored the idea of Harry deciding that what he really wanted for himself was to become a homemaker. The writing was great, as was the build between Harry and Draco, and the ending was wonderfully satisfying.

Title: And I looked, and behold-!

Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, background Ron/Hermione, Daphne/Theodore, past Draco/Astoria

This was such an engaging mystery! All the procedural case!fic vibes you could want with a slow, gentle build between Harry and Draco in the background.

Summary: Harry Potter thought he could outrun the burden of infamy by isolating himself in the Muggle world. Draco Malfoy hasn’t been seen or heard from since his trial. Will a top-secret Ministry project, a beautiful garden, and a little heat carry them both home?
The writing in this was so lush and evocative, and I really loved Harry as an architect. Some cool magical theory, a lovely relationship between Harry and Draco, and just an engaging read all around!

Title: Euphoria

Six years later, Harry is at his wit’s end with a case involving a string of apparent murder-suicides. As a last resort, he is instructed to consult with the Department of Mysteries for potions knowledge to identify an unknown substance in the victim’s blood. But Mysteries is just that—mysterious—and he soon discovers that things are never exactly as they seem.

In which Harry and Draco solve a mystery of several different kinds.Past relationship fic don't always do it for me, but this one gave me all the feels! Harry's voice here was wonderful and I so felt for him and his deep sense of loss and heartbreak that he never really recovered from after Draco disappeared from his life. The connection between Harry and Draco here was wonderful, there was some gorgeous tension between them throughout, and the case!fic was also super fascinating and I really enjoyed the way that played out! Just a great read all around! <3

Title: Draco Malfoy and the Crupnapper

Summary: Life as a night shift creature keeper is scarcely the life Draco once imagined for himself, but ten years after the death of Voldemort he’s accepted his fate. Until the day Harry Potter forces his way back into Draco’s world and everything turns upside down.
Lovely fic with Harry and Draco reconnecting a decade after the war. Harry as a leisurely farmer who's really trying to find his joy in life was absolutely lovely, and I really felt for this Draco here who struggles with being worthy of forgiveness for his past.

Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, brief Harry/Ginny, past Draco/Blaise, background Ron/Hermione

Summary: Harry wasn't expecting to ever see Draco Malfoy again. He also wasn't expecting to walk into a political conspiracy that morning either, but apparently that's exactly what the day has in store for him.
Great fic that begins a few years after the war with Harry and friends in Auror Training, until a horrible and fatal event leads to many leaving the program. Cut to a few years later when Harry's an Auror who's never entirely gotten over his loss, when he encounters Unspeakable Draco working a case and gets recruited to help. I really enjoyed Harry's voice and the characterizations throughout, and the chemistry with Draco was wonderful!

Summary: Potions professor Draco notices DADA professor Potter’s increasing absences. He hates himself for caring, but where is he going? What is he doing?
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.

Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, background George/Pansy & Hermione/Ron
Rating: Explicit

Warnings/Content: Time Loop, grief, Hurt/Comfort, blow jobs, [tumblr.com profile] hd-erised 2021
Summary: Who on earth decided that bringing back the Yule Ball for their eighth year would be a good idea? It feels like the worst day of Harry’s life, watching everyone get glammed up like the war never happened, like the last Triwizard Tournament wasn’t such a colossal failure.

And then it happens again. And again. And again.I enjoyed this fic so much!! The time loops was brilliantly executed and I thought Harry's voice and headspace throughout worked really well. The development between Harry and Draco worked wonderfully even with it occurring over the same repeated day, and the ending was so lovely and satisfying!

Title: Kaleidoscope

Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 104,284
Content/Warnings: advent!fic, holiday!fic, Auror partners, cursed!Harry & Draco, pining, switching, bottom!harry, bottom!draco
Summary: If Harry’s honest, the last thing he needs is a house full of Draco Malfoy, but partners are partners, and perhaps, the thing he wants the least will turn out to be absolutely everything.
Lovely advent fic with Harry and Draco as Auror partners both on leave due to being cursed in the line of duty, which gives them plenty of time to spend together and maybe finally act on the feelings that have been building between them for years. Sweet and gentle and heart-warming.

The one obstacle in the way of James' happiness is what kind of wolf he'll become. Will he be an alpha, like Teddy, and doom their relationship? Or will be an omega, and exactly what Teddy needs?

To find out, James enlists the help of his brother and a tricky little potion, but he has no idea what Teddy will find when he comes home.
Super hot fic with James as a recently turned werewolf who really wants to present as an Omega for his Alpha boyfriend Teddy. Lovely omega!verse smut with some feels woven in. :D

(Sam and Dean get off together. In a brotherly way, of course.)
Fun and sexy fic with Dean and Sam sharing a sleeping bag for ~reasons~ and, of course, this gets in the way of their nightly jerk-off ritual!

Summary: A story in 21 parts, featuring an Ancient Greek curse, an unexpected metamorphosis, adventures in pool sharking, numerous shots of tequila, a nun outfit, zombies, angels, demons, kidnappings, startling discoveries about old acquaintances, massage, a game of strip poker, girl-on-girl action, girl-on-boy action, and boy-on-boy action. Despite my expectations or inclinations, it swiftly became clear that this story was going to be Sam/Dean. And, indeed, it is. Because my muse likes to fuck with me.

It also features Girl!Dean - but don't let that put you off. It's still Dean, bless him, despite the sudden girlsuit.
Suuuuuuper fabulous fic that takes place early-mid season 4 with Dean getting cursed by a witch and turned into a girl, and struggling to adjust to the changes while they figure out how to change him back all while trying to stop Lilith from breaking the seals. Dean's voice here was dead-on, and the slow build and sexual tension between him and Sam was out of this world. Interesting the way the author wove it into the season, and the ending was lovely. The fourth chapter is missing from the AO3 fic, but you can read it on their DW, which I linked above!
