Do you have a Drarry fic rec list? I'd love to read through it! If you have any fics with top!Draco/bottom!Harry, please send them my way šš
BTW, I absolutely LOVED your fic Pull My Hair a Little Harder Please ā it was perfect!!
Hi, thank you so much!!! šā¤ļø I'm sorry I took so long to respond! I've never made a Drarry fic rec list before, so I decided to go through my bookmarks and put something together for you. Most of these are very well known already of course, but hopefully there's a few you haven't read yet!
There is a variety of ratings/warnings/tags for each fic. Not all are sexually explicit, although there is a general theme of bottom!Harry and/or sub!Harry lol. So mind the tags and enjoy! ā¤ļø
As Per RequestĀ by thecouchsofa
āYouāre the man for the job,ā Harry said. He blinked a few times as his brain caught up with his mouth.
Malfoyās brow furrowed. āIām theĀ what?ā
āThe, uh, fuckā¦ā Harry rubbed a hand over the back of his neck. How the fuck was he supposed to ask Malfoy out without actually asking him out? āThis was a mistake. Iāve made an error.ā
āHarry decides that itās high time to lose his virginity, and figures that asking Malfoy is his best option. Heās fit, he wonāt go to the papers, and heāll be fine with Harryās āno emotional attachmentā plan. Surely nothing could go wrong there.ā
my notes: very hot + funny and lighthearted fic about Harry deciding to lose his virginity after the war. one of my favorite dom Draco/sub Harry fics. Harry is adorably naive and Draco is obsessed.
In the Company of Serpents by corvuscrowned
"Thereās something wrong with the serpents at the Greengrass Ophidiarium. Luckily, a certain Parselmouth just might be able to help."
Yours Truly by Skeptique
āEvery single one of Harryās exes has gone on to marry the next person they date, and with the upcoming nuptials of numbers six and seven to each other, Harryās feeling exhausted by it all. It doesnāt really matter if he lets people assume Draco Malfoy is his boyfriend for a moment of peace. In any case, Dracoās been away for five years and thereās no way he would find out, right?ā
See Me and LiveĀ by dodgerkedavra (everything by dodgerkedavra is an instant read tbh I cannot emphasize this enough, EVERYTHING)
āHarry and Draco are roommates. They're coworkers. They're secret boyfriends. And now they're having a baby together!?ā
Daddy Issues by hoko_onchi
"Draco is enthusiastic about Harry's hot dad bod. And he makes Harry call him Daddy. That's it. That's the fic."
A Beginner's Guide to Living by kzwjhkdo
"It's been fifteen years, nowāit's been precisely fifteen years, six months, and twenty days. A lot has changed. Draco is a photographer, working with Pansy Parkinson at her fashion magazine. He has a potion business on the side. He's grown, he has a carefully cultivated life, and he's sure to have a very normal reaction to seeing Harry Potter again."
Trouble With Your Tie, Potter? by tenthousandyears
"The last thing Harry expects when Slughorn partners him up with Zabini is Malfoy shooting them furious looks throughout the whole class and then unceremoniously snogging Harry in the corridor."Ā
The Way You Say My Name by InnerLilith
"In which Malfoy calls Harry pet names to get him flustered and riled up, and Harry gets flustered and riled up because he secretly likes it. The problem is that Malfoy is only teasingā¦or is he?"
Where I See Things Right by InnerLilith
āHonestly, once youāve spent years obsessing over someoneās every move, constantly taunting each other, nearlyĀ killingĀ each otherā saving each otherās livesāā Draco had gotten quite pink in the face and was punctuating each phrase with his chopsticks, āSex is the logical next step. Obviously. No other bridge left to cross.ā He stabbed his chopsticks at Harry with an air of finality. āAnd Iām nothing if not thorough. No stone unturned, and all that.ā
When Harry finds himself unexpectedly pregnant after a one-off with Draco Malfoy, he knows he isnāt keeping it. But when actually getting the abortion turns out to be more complicated than Harry expected, he finds himself turning to Malfoy for help through the process. And thatās actually muchĀ lessĀ complicated than Harry expected.
my notes: one of the first mpreg fics I ever read and still one of my all time favorites. Draco is so sweet to Harry.
He Who Must Not Be Normal by Lettered
āMolly Weasley used to have a kitchen like this,ā Potter said, walking over to the sink. āWhen they lived in The Burrow. There were always Charms going in the sink, and pots stirring on the stove. It always smelled likeāā
āIām not going to have sex with you,ā Draco said, finally finding his voice.
"Potter has fame and fortune and posh clothes and all he wants is a simple life. Draco has a flat and a cat and a steady job and all he wants is a complicated life. Which makes you think this story has something exciting like body-swapping, but it doesnāt. Instead it has Indian takeaway and a blue jumper and people wanting a whole lot of what they canāt have, discovering themselves as they discover each other."
my notes: this one is Draco POV and very Draco-centric, which isn't my typical go-to for Drarry? but it's still one of my favorites. Draco is really mean to Harry, especially in the beginning, but it's what Harry thinks he needs.
You Loveable Thing by ElenAndTara
"Harry's birthday has always been a sour topic to discuss. Harry has a ritual he's trying to break. Petunia's abuse is not fading easily at all."
my notes: This one is so sweet. Harry dealing with his trauma from the Dursleys and Draco knowing just how to care for him.
Two Weeks by shiftylinguine
If Harry had to guess which out of he or his Auror Partner, and tentative new friend, Draco Malfoy, would turn out to have Veela ancestry, his answer would be: neither, because that is ridiculous. Finding out the answer is actuallyĀ him, and that his Veela heritage is wreaking havoc on his ability to work, sleep, and above all be in the same room as Malfoy, is a surprise to say the least. But this is fine. Harryās been through worse, and he can just sit this one out, regardless of how much his body is screaming for the one person he doesnāt want to ask for help. Canāt he?
To Be Out On You Own (And Consumed By Another) by Cassiara
"By now even Harry recognises the pattern; heād be an idiot not to. Heāll have sex, and in the moment itāll be amazing. In the moment he simply is, he feels without thinking. Good, bad, pleasure and pain, he can just let go and feel because he isnāt the one in charge. Then he wakes up the next morning feeling disgusting and worthless and swears to never do it again. Still, it helps him forget about his stress, his anxiety and his hopeless crush on his Auror partner so he keeps going back."
Ten Thousand Reasons Why Not by lq_traintracks
Malfoy leans just an inch more forward, his lips nearing the shell of Harry's ear, and he asks, "Mind if I borrow that quill?"
Harry tenses, but without waiting for a reply, Malfoy steps even closer, right up against Harry, and reaches around, plucking the quill from Harry's numb fingers. As he does, the hand that rests on his hip slips around and tenderly spans Harry's lower abdomen, pressing in just a bit. Harry's breath hitches hard. Malfoy exhales at the back of his neck, warm and steady.
"That alright?" Malfoy's voice is so low and so close.
Harry and Draco are stand-ins for the usual witch who gives the workplace harassment and sexual consent talk to the Auror trainees. Or, a little tale in which Harry consents to be sexually harassed by Draco Malfoy.
Lusimeles by orphan account
"For a long while, Harry stares up at the pretentious silk hangings on Malfoyās bedāthe master bed in the master bedroom at bloodyĀ Malfoy Manorāand circles cautiously around the wordĀ loveĀ like itās a dog that might decide to bite him. He thinks, maybe, reaching out to grab the idea suddenly by the scruff, thatĀ loveĀ is too small a word for what he feels when he turns over to look at Malfoy asleep."
Temporary Relief by akashingen
āWhat happened tonight,ā Draco continued quietly, āwas temporary relief during unfortunate circumstances.ā
Harry forced himself very still. The warmth between them suddenly felt fragile. Stupidly, painfully fragile.
Draco exhaled softly. āI donāt want you expecting more than that.ā
The words were careful. Polite. And somehow much crueler because of it.
Harry stared at him for a long moment. Then he nodded once. āRight.ā
Dracoās jaw tightened slightly at the answer.
my notes: ummmmm this made my heart hurt very much and I was STRESSINGGGG for Harry the entire time but it's very sweet and beautifully written and has a very nice ending <3
I'll probably keep adding to this list/editing as I go. I would love to highlight some lesser known pieces as well. I just have so many Drarry fics bookmarked that it's taking me a while to sift through all of them (and I am definitely using this as a distraction from working on my own WIPs, so I figured I'd better post it now and get back to work lmao). If anyone else has some favorite top!Draco/bottom!Harry fics that you don't see here, send them my way!! ā¤ļø I can never get enough lol. Sub Harry is my babyyy
btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here
idk if you read cafe au's or not but does working at a cafe now make you look at them a little funny like hmmmm that's not a good business practice and that's a health violation but sure !
Hope the cafe's not too hard on you though!!
hahaha yes, itās honestly hard for me to read cafe AUs now š I can always tell when someone has never worked in a cafe before and it really takes me out of the story lol. I canāt even write a cafe AU anymore because I start to feel like Iām at work and thatās no fun š
the cafeās not too bad though!! Iām a little overwhelmed at the moment, but we have an awesome team and Iām trying to learn to delegate better so Iām not doing a million things all the time haha.
