âReading is dark academiaâ this and âreading has a cottage core vibeâ that.
Nah when I read itâs straight up goblin core. My body curled around a book or an e-reader at midnight, with a deranged smile on my face as the same people Iâve read fall in love 300 times, fall in love again but now in a book shop.
Light some candles, run a bath, and get yourself in the mood for some top quality smut, as I present... a follow up to last year's collaborative Drarry sex scene reclist! This is an all new selection of some absolutely scorching favourite smutty scenes and fics picked by an (almost) all new cast of Drarry writers, artists, reccers and fans!!!!

HP Pride Secret Santa 2022 : Masterlist of DRARRY fics
@magicaltrans || official masterpost (N/A) || AO3 || â = 16 works The Mod(s) : @achillesangst
1. All The Time In The World by @basicallyahedgehog [M, 7k]
Since he hit puberty, Harry has been using glamours to make his body look how he feels. But when the Horcrux inside him dies, taking his bodyâs ability to accept magic with it, he is left back at the starting line. /// Or, after the war Harry figures out who he wants to be with the help of his family, the worldâs best best-friend, and a surprising person from his past.
2. ash, fire, ash by @corvuscrowned [G, 900]
Malfoy tosses the butt of their cigarette into the flames. âTheyâll know itâs you doing it eventually.â âGood,â Harry says. âThen maybe itâll make them remember my name.â
3. day after tomorrow by grow_as_we_go [T, 4k]
Harry meets a familiar face while heâs at work, will it be just a one night stand or something more?
4. the deer, the desert and the 630724th universe by @piarelei [T, 3k]
In every lived universe (and some where life never struck), Draco is with Harry. Nothing changes about that in the 630724th universe.
5. Let Me Count the Ways by @thebooktopus [E, 3k]
Intimacy comes in many forms. Draco wants to explore them all with Harry.
6. Snapshot by @vitaminpops [M, 6k]
Various glimpses into Dracoâs and Harryâs lives. Take a shot every time a camera is mentioned.
7. the sweetness of you by @blueâdreaming [G, 300]
In which spoiled surprises can still be sweet.
8. To Have and To Hold by @toxik-angel [T, 10k]
the most bisexual wedding of the century! you get a bi! you get a bi! everyone gets a bi!
9. turn the landscape into a blur by @beyondtheclose [T, 3k]
The first summer after, when everything was hazy and he was being dragged to testify at so many trials that he began questioning how he even knew so many people, Harry bought a car. He comes to learn how much easier it is to tell someone your secrets when itâs dark, and the necessity to keep your eyes glued on the road ahead outweighs any obligation of eye contact.
10. Worldâs Worst Hangover by @stargazing-enby [M, 4k]
Harry and Draco get drunk-married in Vegas. The following morning, when they wake up naked and hungover in the same bed, Draco thinks everything is over. Luckily, Harry wonât let him run away and pretend this never happened.
â
â other fests in 2022 â fests in other years
Can't stop thinking about the fact that Britney Spears' Baby One More Time came out in 1999... 8th Year Draco Malfoy trying to find out more about Muggle culture... Hearing the song for the first time and becoming obsessed with it... Singing it drunk out of his mind during an 8th Year party... Harry falling in love instantly... PLEASE I need a fic
After the war, things changed. There was a gap year before their return to Hogwarts, in which the ministry was sure that getting magical people accustomed to the culture of their non-magic counterparts was one good way to eradicate violence. Harry thought it was a daft strategy at first, but then, seeing how people got excited about movies and video games and cellphones, Harry understood it was not only necessary for political reasons, but also a way of making everyone happier.
When they got back to Hogwarts, everything was indeed different. Not only the muggle things - that once were considered artefacts and "crazy Arthur Weasley gadgets"-, but the whole castle was refurbished. McGonagall was showing an ever-increasing effort to promote inter-house harmony. That was how Harry found himself at the first Interhouse Integration Night ever. He thought they would only play board games and lounge in the redecorated great hall. How sorely mistaken was he. The Hufflepuffs, of all houses, managed to get their hands on some firewhisky and one of them brought a new karaoke machine. The students were shy at first, but after a couple of rounds of drinks, everybody was having fun singing the muggle music they had recently discovered. Harry was distracted, reflecting on how things could be so different from just two years ago. That was until he saw Draco Malfoy grabbing the microphone.
Now, Harry was not famous for his creative mind. Nevertheless, he has imagined Malfoy doing a myriad of things. Malfoy being completely drunk was one of them, for sure. But singing Britney Spears was not, whatsoever.
"Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to knowâŚ", he starts, and Harry is surprised he can actually sing. He never thought of Malfoy as someone who had a singing voice.
"That something wasn't right, yeah", Malfoy flicks the hair out of his eyes. "Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have left you goâŚ" he catches Harry's eye staring at him, "and now you're out of sight."
"Show me how you want it to be", he moves his hips in a wave, eyes avoiding Harry's, "Tell me, baby, cause I need to know now, oh becauseâŚ"
He jumps and stands on top of a table, "my loneliness is killing me", and he promptly goes to his knees, a hand extended in front of him, and Harry can swear he's pointing directly at him, "and I, I must confess, I still believe."
Malfoy closes his eyes. Maybe Harry is embarrassing him? Maybe he should stop watching? Harry shakes his head sending those thoughts away, Malfoy is obviously in his element.
"When I'm with you I lose my mind", and he opens his eyes, glaring straight into Harry's eyes, "give me a sign", he doesn't flicker, singing with intent, "hit me baby one more time."
Harry's breath catches, is it hot in here? Malfoy stands up, still on the table, his friends jokingly touching his legs and whistling.
"Oh, baby, baby, the reason I breathe is you", the tilts his head up, the microphone following, "boy you got me blinded." Malfoy twirls and Harry smiles. So he knows the choreo.
"Oh pretty baby, there's nothing that I wouldn't do" he turns his back to Harry, who is instantly mesmerized by the way Malfoy starts to move his ass, "It's not the way I planned."
Harry swallows dry when Malfoy turns his head back and catches Harry staring at his ass. He gives him a sly smile, "Show me how you want it to be", he turns, " tell me, baby, cause I need to know now, oh becauseâŚ"
Malfoy gets down from the table, promptly touching Zabini and glueing his ass to his hips. His friend is not surprised at all, hands around Malfoy's hips. Harry feels something inside him stings. Is he jealous?
"My loneliness is killing me", he tilts his head back, exposing his neck, "and I must confess, I still believeâŚ", oh how Harry wants to touch his neck.
"When I'm not with you I lose my mind", and Malfoy's eyes are going through the crowd, until he stops at Harry, "give me a sign⌠Hit me, baby, one more time". Malfoy laughs a bit, maybe a nervous laugh, Harry thinks. He recovers and continues. "Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know⌠Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have left you goâŚ"
Draco lets go of Zabini, slowly making his way through the very excited crowd, "I must confess that my loneliness is killing me now", and he runs a hand through his hair, "don't you know I still believe?"
Harry's heart stops when he realises⌠Is Malfoy making his way to him?
"That you will be here, and give me a sign", yes, Malfoy is slowly coming towards Harry, "hit me baby one more time".
Malfoy lowers the microphone. The music continues playing with his voice. "Enjoying the show, Potter?"
Harry can't look away, not now. "Quite a show, indeed."
"Care to join?", Malfoy offers him the microphone.
Harry flushes thoroughly, "I would ruin it."
Malfoy grins, and resumes singing the very last verses, nonchalantly glaring at Harry, "that you will be here, and give me a sign⌠Hit me baby one more time!"
There's a round of applause as soon as the song is over, and Harry claps along.
Malfoy smiles widely while receiving a round of applause from the crowd, at this point, almost everyone had his eyes on him.
Harry escapes and makes his way to the bathroom. There, he takes off his glasses and washes his face. What has got into him?
I-
Okay I am so overwhelmed by this rn!!!! It's so good!!!!!! I wasn't expecting anyone to actually go through with it and write anything but you did and it's oh so perfect and I just have the HUGEST grin on my face you can't imagine!
The way Draco makes a show out of it and how Harry is so confused by his own reaction to it I can't- ajsbdmabrvrlvzmzvdlavekfjzpj
Also the beginning of the fic explaining how the Ministry wants wizards to find out more about muggle culture is so smart!!!
You really blew my mind with this, thank you so much for writing it you're an angel <333
Now I will definitly never be able to listen to this song the same way and I'm so happy for it ;)
Hello! I'm getting back into fandom after many years and was hoping you could recommend the best (or most popular) drarry fics to come out in the last 5 years?? The longer the better! I'm having such a blast re-reading old favs and would love more to read! Thank you so much!
I was also away from the fandom the past three years, we share the feeling! I'll go for +100k and skip super well known examples (e.g., Grounds for Divorce)
Alucinatio by alexmeg (127k)
"It's... it's not good," Harry tells them lowly. "They've given him a month's time, only." There is so much he needs to explain, but his head is foggy and exhausted and he can't think properly, can't think of how to relay all that he's learned. "Have you heard of Alucinatio?" is what he starts with. "The Daydream potion," Hermione says. "The person who intakes it experiences very vivid and realistic daydreams of all they could ever want, but is essentially in a severely catatonic state out in the external world, incapable of any basic functions." Harry nods. "Somebody's given it to Malfoy." He remembers the tattered remains of a black coak wrapped around Malfoy. "I think it might have been Professor Snape." They take a minute to process that. "And... the cure?" Ron asks. "Tears of anyone the experiencer craves love of," Hermione answers.
I Do Not Love You by Writ_and_romance (228k)
In 2013, a carefully-designed Obliviation leaves Harry reconfiguring his life and identity without any memories of true love; an act thatâs essentially erased Draco Malfoy from his mind despite a wedding band and shared home. In 2000, Draco had expected Pansyâs relationship with Luna to bring the Gryffindors a bit closer to his orbit of quiet, carefully pacifistic existence, but he never expected to navigate such a transparent embrace into a unit of family, friendship, and love. A mystery, two love stories, and a reminder that learning to love never has an end date.
Nor All That Glisters by @sweet-s0rr0w (110k)
Lonely and frustrated on house arrest, with no prospects for the future, Draco begins brewing Felix Felicis in an attempt to improve his lot. Just in the short term, of course. He isnât a total idiot.
But before long he finds himself with a thriving business, a nice flat, some actual (albeit irritatingly Gryffindor) friends, and a very satisfying sex life. Whatâs more, no-one is hexing him in the street. And Harry Potter is single, and gorgeous, and giving Draco decidedly interested looks.
Stop taking the Felix? You must be jokingâŚ
Soup-pocalypse and The Great Curry Cataclysm by @norelationtoatticus (104k)
Eleven years after the war, Draco Malfoy leads a quiet, boring, and perfectly respectable life, thanks very much. Or, at least he does, until a sudden and very unexpected veela awakening causes him to throw soup all over Harry Potter in the middle of the Ministry cafeteria.
Every Hour Has Led to This by @sassy-cissaâ (105k)
Banned from the wizarding world and sentenced to live as a Muggle for ten years, Draco Malfoy finds his world turned upside down. Navigating the Muggle world becomes easier thanks to help from some unexpected strangers who become family. But when his mother insists Draco fulfil an agreement set when he was a child, he finds himself married and a father. Then a divorced single father. After the war Harry Potter found himself without purpose, until an unexpected offer changed his life. Playboy, Quidditch star, war hero â Harry seems to have it all, until a Quidditch accident ends his career. Lost and without purpose, Harryâs life is lonely until a surprising event brings him to Dracoâs doorâŚliterally. Running parallel lives for nearly 10 years, when they reconnect both Draco and Harry find the passion for life that had been missing. A story of love and loss and how the best things in life happen in their own time
Pages of You by @wolfpants (101k)
Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He's not ready. He really isn't.
In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather's bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he's catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius's business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire.
A story about trying to figure out who you are, where you're going in life, and who you want to take along with you.
Notes on a resurrection by newleaves (126k)
It was never Dracoâs intention to raise Sirius Black from the dead.
The Liars Department by @dorthyanndrarry (103k)
This is a story about Harry meeting up with Draco Malfoy four years after the war. And a story about Harry, well, not hating his job per say, but it's not like he has much to compare it to and it seemed fine. His whole life seemed fine. Then Malfoy came along with and his flashy suits and fast car making everything seem dull in comparison, and Harry... Harry couldn't just leave well enough alone.
Turning Leaves by @kbrick (112k)
Draco and Harry have a one-night stand that ends in disaster after Harry tells Draco he's unable to move beyond their poisonous past. So when Draco finds an unusual Time-Turner in the Department of Mysteries, he seizes the opportunity to start fresh with Harry. Only instead of fixing things, he keeps making them worse.
Bolts by @lqtraintracks (114k)
Harry joins the Hogwarts staff as the new History of Magic Professor, while Draco has already been teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts for the past year. When Samantha, a first year, is being bullied one day and throws a made-up Truth curse at her harasser, only to accidentally hit Harry instead, Harry becomes cursed to tell the truth, and not only that, he has to regularly tell it to Draco Malfoy. Samantha is clearly gifted, maybe the most powerful witch or wizard to ever come through Hogwarts, and yet she has no idea how to take the curse off. As they work to remove itâand also teach Samantha how to control a power that's becoming more dangerous by the dayâwill Harry's truths become too much to handle? And will whateverâs going on with Draco just make everything exponentially worse?
Freedom to be by @quicksilvermaid (169k)
Harry Potter is the Boy Who Lived. 12 years after the war, he's become the Boy Who Lived For Everyone Else. He has the perfect wife. The perfect house. The perfect job. The perfect friends. Only nothing feels perfect. Until one day he stumbles across a club called Release and begins a journey of self-discovery that takes him to a very different place.
By the Grace by @letteredlettered (139k)
Harry is an Auror instructor. Malfoy wants to be an Auror.
Two to Shore by Lamplighter (204k)
Harry and Draco meet in Madam Malkinâs and instantly take a liking to each other. Just kidding. They donât, but Harry does get sorted into Slytherin, and they do become extremely good friends.
Way Down We Go by @xiaq (109k)
The war was over. Or at least thatâs what the papers said. Theyâd been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding. Maybe they did.
In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town. It's super.
Nyctophilia by prolonged_autumn (107k)
Everyone's back for 8th year, and Harry and his friends seem determined to spend their last year in school running around at night, hyped up on coffee and alcohol and Honeydukes candy, doing all the childish things they didn't have the chance to do before. Draco watches as he's always watched: from afar, quiet and bitter and hopelessly in love. That is, until Pansy decides she's had quite enough of it.
Make Yourself by @anyaelizabethfic (103k)
Harry just wants to be safe within the freshly painted walls of Grimmauld Place, with his friends around him. But when he hears Draco Malfoy has been spotted at the local soup kitchen, he canât help but encourage a different type of stray to come under his roof.
Kept Man by @drarry (147k)
A downtrodden Harry Potter in a serious dry spell is looking to be a kept man, and a lonely Draco Malfoy responds to his anonymous ad. A perfect storm of lust, scandal, and maybe even love. A Daddy Kink Magnum Opus.
The Ordeal of Being Known by @lou-isfake (146k)
When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, thereâs 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. Itâs obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Dracoâs never been able to back down from a challenge⌠especially from Potter.
Harry Potter and the Welcome to the World of Grey by @sobsicles (456k)
When Harry fails to keep his anger at bay and Voldemort possesses his mind, the events that follow lead him down a long road to realizing the world isnât as black and white as it seems. Chaos, hilarity, and tragedy ensue with a Dark Lord being honest all the time, a rival becoming something else, and a world demanding to be saved. Featuring frightened Death Eaters, deep conversations with a monster, Pureblood traditions being ridiculous, and the fight to do the right thing with no true options. Harryâs life just gets more and more bizarre with each passing moment. ~~~ Or, the one where Harryâs life gets split in half, and he has to figure out how to bring it back together.
The Secret Keeper by @the-fools-errand (225k)
On Halloween 1981, Albus Dumbledore made a decision that would change the course of history, concealing Harry Potterâs survival at the hands of Lord Voldemort underneath a Fidelius Charm. But when Harry comes of age in the Muggle world, Dumbledore realises too late that the fate of the world may depend on a boy who has never held a wand. An unlikely team assembles to teach him everything he needs to know before the charm runs out, but only one of them knows the truth behind the Dark Lordâs return to power. If it were anyone else, Draco would have no problem turning them over to the Death Eaters, but thereâs something about this certain bespectacled idiot that has him questioning everything heâs ever known. Will Draco seal the fate of the wizarding world by uncovering the Chosen One or will Harry save Draco from a fate of his own?
Dwelling on Dreams by @the-sinking-ship (135k)
Draco thought he could avoid Potter for the duration of his brief return to England. Heâd stick to his schedule and be back home in Paris, where he belonged, in a few short months. No trouble at all. He had plenty to occupy him, what with the opening of the London branch of his successful apothecary, his innovative research, drinks with Pansy, a backlog of unread potions periodicals. Except Head Auror Potter is everywhere â in Draco's chair, at his door, in his dreams. All six feet of motorbike-riding, combat-boot-wearing, sex-hair-sporting Saviour of the World packed into one unfairly fetching uniform. Potter wonât leave Draco the bloody hell alone, wonât let him breathe, let him forget, let him sleep. Because no matter how fast Draco Malfoy runs, Harry Potter is always hot on his heels.
A Sword Laid Aside by @korlaena (128k)
When Dracoâs cover is blown during a deep undercover operation and the Ministry is compromised, Ron takes Draco to the only safe place he can think ofâPotter. Hiding out with a taciturn Harry Potter, who has been missing from the Wizarding World for almost two decades after a shocking fall from grace, is nothing like Draco thought it would be. Draco has to navigate dealing with this Potter while being hunted by Dark wizards and wanted by extremists in the Ministry. When things take a turn for the worse, Draco has to decide whether he's going to keep running or find a way to protect the world and the people he cares about most.
Changing Tides by @carpemermaidtales (109k)
Draco has spent half of his life spouting the things his father has taught him without much thought about how he feels about what he says. When he unexpectedly comes face to face with the Dark Lord, he grapples with the harsh realities of the world and struggles with his changing views on life. Instead of doing whatâs expected of him fifth year, he joins Dumbledoreâs Army and learns how to defend himself, how to make his own choices, and how he can be something greater than his fatherâs example as he grows into his own man rather than his fatherâs shadow. The choices he makes change both his and Harryâs fates, intertwining their paths until they converge.
Taking Chances by @gracerene (135k)
After the war, Draco disappeared and started over in America, vowing never to return to Great Britain and the fraught past he left behind. Unfortunately, when his mates convince him to sign up for an exchange programme for the last year of their Auror Training, Draco learns that he doesnât have much of a choice in the matter.
Graceless Heart by @orange-peonyâ (132k)
Harry is lost and broken after the war. He has gone to countless funerals, broken up with Ginny, moved back into Grimmauld Placeâwhich feels darker and dirtier than ever before despite how much he tries to fix it. He feels lonely and desperate, but he wonât ask for help, and he still canât cry.
When he agreed to help the Aurors at Malfoy Manor over the summer, he thought that he would be breaking dark curses. Harry never thought that he would actually spend his days sorting out dusty books with Draco Malfoy, or teaching him how to cook.
Little by little, as they begin to navigate their life post-war, Harry and Draco become intimateâŚin more ways than Harry could have ever expected.
Brave Though The Stars They Make Me by @dwell-the-brave (108k)
After the events at the end of his Sixth Year, Draco Malfoy has been kept all but prisoner in his childhood home, Malfoy Manor. Alone, terrified, and desperate for some way out, he begins to have strange dreams - dreams of Harry Potter. Are they a trick of his mind? Or are they a way to change his fate, and a chance at redemption?
Hello! I'm getting back into fandom after many years and was hoping you could recommend the best (or most popular) drarry fics to come out in the last 5 years?? The longer the better! I'm having such a blast re-reading old favs and would love more to read! Thank you so much!
I was also away from the fandom the past three years, we share the feeling! I'll go for +100k and skip super well known examples (e.g., Grounds for Divorce)
Alucinatio by alexmeg (127k)
"It's... it's not good," Harry tells them lowly. "They've given him a month's time, only." There is so much he needs to explain, but his head is foggy and exhausted and he can't think properly, can't think of how to relay all that he's learned. "Have you heard of Alucinatio?" is what he starts with. "The Daydream potion," Hermione says. "The person who intakes it experiences very vivid and realistic daydreams of all they could ever want, but is essentially in a severely catatonic state out in the external world, incapable of any basic functions." Harry nods. "Somebody's given it to Malfoy." He remembers the tattered remains of a black coak wrapped around Malfoy. "I think it might have been Professor Snape." They take a minute to process that. "And... the cure?" Ron asks. "Tears of anyone the experiencer craves love of," Hermione answers.
I Do Not Love You by Writ_and_romance (228k)
In 2013, a carefully-designed Obliviation leaves Harry reconfiguring his life and identity without any memories of true love; an act thatâs essentially erased Draco Malfoy from his mind despite a wedding band and shared home. In 2000, Draco had expected Pansyâs relationship with Luna to bring the Gryffindors a bit closer to his orbit of quiet, carefully pacifistic existence, but he never expected to navigate such a transparent embrace into a unit of family, friendship, and love. A mystery, two love stories, and a reminder that learning to love never has an end date.
Nor All That Glisters by @sweet-s0rr0w (110k)
Lonely and frustrated on house arrest, with no prospects for the future, Draco begins brewing Felix Felicis in an attempt to improve his lot. Just in the short term, of course. He isnât a total idiot.
But before long he finds himself with a thriving business, a nice flat, some actual (albeit irritatingly Gryffindor) friends, and a very satisfying sex life. Whatâs more, no-one is hexing him in the street. And Harry Potter is single, and gorgeous, and giving Draco decidedly interested looks.
Stop taking the Felix? You must be jokingâŚ
Soup-pocalypse and The Great Curry Cataclysm by @norelationtoatticus (104k)
Eleven years after the war, Draco Malfoy leads a quiet, boring, and perfectly respectable life, thanks very much. Or, at least he does, until a sudden and very unexpected veela awakening causes him to throw soup all over Harry Potter in the middle of the Ministry cafeteria.
Every Hour Has Led to This by @sassy-cissaâ (105k)
Banned from the wizarding world and sentenced to live as a Muggle for ten years, Draco Malfoy finds his world turned upside down. Navigating the Muggle world becomes easier thanks to help from some unexpected strangers who become family. But when his mother insists Draco fulfil an agreement set when he was a child, he finds himself married and a father. Then a divorced single father. After the war Harry Potter found himself without purpose, until an unexpected offer changed his life. Playboy, Quidditch star, war hero â Harry seems to have it all, until a Quidditch accident ends his career. Lost and without purpose, Harryâs life is lonely until a surprising event brings him to Dracoâs doorâŚliterally. Running parallel lives for nearly 10 years, when they reconnect both Draco and Harry find the passion for life that had been missing. A story of love and loss and how the best things in life happen in their own time
Pages of You by @wolfpants (101k)
Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He's not ready. He really isn't.
In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather's bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he's catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius's business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire.
A story about trying to figure out who you are, where you're going in life, and who you want to take along with you.
Notes on a resurrection by newleaves (126k)
It was never Dracoâs intention to raise Sirius Black from the dead.
The Liars Department by @dorthyanndrarry (103k)
This is a story about Harry meeting up with Draco Malfoy four years after the war. And a story about Harry, well, not hating his job per say, but it's not like he has much to compare it to and it seemed fine. His whole life seemed fine. Then Malfoy came along with and his flashy suits and fast car making everything seem dull in comparison, and Harry... Harry couldn't just leave well enough alone.
Turning Leaves by @kbrick (112k)
Draco and Harry have a one-night stand that ends in disaster after Harry tells Draco he's unable to move beyond their poisonous past. So when Draco finds an unusual Time-Turner in the Department of Mysteries, he seizes the opportunity to start fresh with Harry. Only instead of fixing things, he keeps making them worse.
Bolts by @lqtraintracks (114k)
Harry joins the Hogwarts staff as the new History of Magic Professor, while Draco has already been teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts for the past year. When Samantha, a first year, is being bullied one day and throws a made-up Truth curse at her harasser, only to accidentally hit Harry instead, Harry becomes cursed to tell the truth, and not only that, he has to regularly tell it to Draco Malfoy. Samantha is clearly gifted, maybe the most powerful witch or wizard to ever come through Hogwarts, and yet she has no idea how to take the curse off. As they work to remove itâand also teach Samantha how to control a power that's becoming more dangerous by the dayâwill Harry's truths become too much to handle? And will whateverâs going on with Draco just make everything exponentially worse?
Freedom to be by @quicksilvermaid (169k)
Harry Potter is the Boy Who Lived. 12 years after the war, he's become the Boy Who Lived For Everyone Else. He has the perfect wife. The perfect house. The perfect job. The perfect friends. Only nothing feels perfect. Until one day he stumbles across a club called Release and begins a journey of self-discovery that takes him to a very different place.
By the Grace by @letteredlettered (139k)
Harry is an Auror instructor. Malfoy wants to be an Auror.
Two to Shore by Lamplighter (204k)
Harry and Draco meet in Madam Malkinâs and instantly take a liking to each other. Just kidding. They donât, but Harry does get sorted into Slytherin, and they do become extremely good friends.
Way Down We Go by @xiaq (109k)
The war was over. Or at least thatâs what the papers said. Theyâd been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding. Maybe they did.

@thehoneybeet created Everything is Relative to You for waterwings [E, ~43k] Summary: Potter was supposed to have lived. Draco is certain of this. That Potter would no longer walk the earth was tantamount to the sun moving west to east across the sky. If only he could have stopped this from happening, if heâd have known⌠It comes to him as ideas often did: too late. Or, Harry dreams of his past lives, and Draco is in every one.
@crazybutgood created Unfolded Heart for @aprofessionalprotagonist [G, ~6k] Summary: Draco had only had three months getting used to Potter joining Hogwarts as the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor, before Headteacher McGonagall had asked him to organise a whole âeducational but festiveâ Christmas event with that energy ball of a Gryffindor. Merlin knew what the outcome would be. Â
@fantalfart created Another Thing the Poets Never Said for @sleepstxtic [E, ~15k] Summary: Thereâs no good in dwelling on someone who had already been claimed by death years before. And even less in pondering the meaning of the soulmate marks that remain. Â
@ladderofyears created The Wonder of You for @melcarrianna [E, ~72k] Summary: A Family Man AU. In the year 2000, Harry left Draco behind in London, intent on America and Quidditch fame and never looked back. Thirteen years later, Harry gets the opportunity to see what his life could have been like, had his life unravelled in a different way. Nothing in Harryâs world is the same, but Harry soon comes to realise that fatherhood, marriage and the biggest, laziest Crup in Hogsmeade add to up a life he enjoys more than he could even have imagined. Â

@cavendishbutterfly wrote The Hardest Hue To Hold for khalulu [M, ~17k] Summary: Harry needs to get the hell out of England. So he sets up a teaching assistantship in America, hops on a plane, and heads off to a fresh start. Except thereâs a familiar face among the university faculty, and itâs really not the familiar face that Harry wanted. Or at least, itâs not who Harry wanted at first. Â
@lettersbyelise wrote Fire Meet Gasoline for @avenueofesc [E, ~63k] Summary: When Dracoâs anger management issues land him in St Mungoâs, he thinks his Quidditch career is over. But Harry, A&E Healer and notorious workaholic, is faced with a similar predicament. To save their jobs, the two of them decide to fake a relationship. All they have to do is convince their friends and employers⌠and not fall in love in the process. Simple, right? Â
@thebooktopus wrote A True Entanglement for @tenthousandyearsx [E, ~10k] Summary: One moment, Harry was minding his own business, going about his workday, and the next, he found himself being dragged across the Ministry by a red string that had somehow curled up in a pretty little bow around his wrist. A story of fate, smut, falling in love, and a string named Harold. Â
@goblinmatriarch wrote The Binding and the Loosing for @short666bread [M, ~35k] Summary: Draco Malfoy is a reclusive academic who works on layered generational magic under the pseudonym Scholar Griseo. When he is contacted by a âJames Blackâ for help with a tricky situation with a magical House, he canât help but notice the similarities between his potential client and Harry Potter. Since he canât exactly refuse to help the Saviour of the magical world, Draco girds his loins and visits Grimmauld Place, where he ends up involved in what he must presume is one of those classic Harry Potter misadventures. Bonding, sentient Houses, domesticity ahoy! Â
Justlikewriting wrote The Wake-up Kiss for the @hd-erised Community [M, ~20k] Summary: This time, when Harry found himself without a date for the Ministry Yule Ball, Parvati Patil was unable to step in. So, he was left with the only other viable option: to ask Draco Malfoy. Which would be fine, of course: it had been twelve years since the war after all. And they saw each other regularly now, meeting up with the same group of friends almost every Friday night. Harry, however, obviously hadnât taken into account just how insufferable Zacharias Smith could be. Â
@oknowkiss wrote Historians for @shiftylinguini [E, ~30k] Summary: Itâs the Dumbledoreâs Army Reunion Holiday, and Harryâs found himself in hot water with his friends once again, after telling them he has a boyfriend he definitely does not have. In an attempt to fix things, heâs made it his colleague on Level Nine, Draco Malfoyâs problem too. Featuring a ski chalet in Switzerland, a pair of bunk beds, and an agreement that shouldâve been simple, were it not for all the bloody feelings getting in the way. Â
@camisoul-stars wrote Traces of Aconite for Justlikewriting [M, ~7k] Summary: Draco Malfoy is arrested for murder. Hermione Granger takes on the defense of his case and has her private investigator, Harry Potter, search to find out the truth of what happened. The only problem is Harry has some confusing feelings about Draco that might get in his way. Â
FlightinFlame wrote Keep Your Brittle Heart Warm for @ladderofyearsâ [M, ~50k] Summary: Eighth-year offers Draco a brief respite before he returns to Azkaban. With a restricted wand, and memories of a girl who shouldnât exist, he has very little hope for the future. But when Harry brings Teddy into the school, and proves to be utterly clueless, things change beyond anything he could imagine. Â
@shiftylinguiniâ wrote Service Bell for @candybarrnerdâ [E, ~8k] Summary: Draco is: a werewolf, living in a cabin in the woods, minding his own business, and never going to buy plaid because heâs not that much of a fucking cliche (yet). Heâs also counting down the days until he sees Harry again. Â
@aprofessionalprotagonistâ wrote Draco Malfoyâs Foolproof Guide to Reconciliation for @thewakelessâ [T, ~6k] Summary: Narcissa Malfoyâs determined to reconcile with her sister, which means Dracoâs stuck spending time with Teddy Lupin â and Harry Potter. Â
@amywaterwings wrote The Unknown Door for @creeeee [E, ~61k] Summary: here 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 theyâre definitely not hiding from their problems in the run-down flats of the Bellcrest. Not at all. Not one bit. Â
@softlystarstruckâ wrote the treehouse near primrose downs for @pato-roldnartâ [Mature, ~14.4k] Summary: Draco and Harry have been roommates for years, so buying a magical house in the countryside shouldnât be a big difference.

@corvuscrownedâ wrote In The Company Of Serpents for @lettersbyeliseâ [Explicit, ~25k] Summary: Thereâs something wrong with the serpents at the Greengrass Ophidiarium. Luckily, a certain Parselmouth just might be able to help.

When her eclectic roommate and assistant reveals that he owns a large, cursed Manor, Ophelia finds a lot more than just a new career opportunity.
@tedahfromtaylaâ wrote There are many benefits to being a marine biologist for dustmouth [Teen, ~19k] Summary: There is something about Harry that constantly calls Draco back to Britain. No matter how far he tries to run, he canât outrun his stubborn heart, or the history of his family.
@thewakelessâ wrote and the world is tumbling down for @camisoul-starsâ [Explicit, ~27.6k] Summary: Draco is thirty-five and content.

Everything is calmâuntil his house begins trying to kill him.
@orange-peonyâ wrote Constellations on your skin for @softlystarstruckâ [Explicit, ~56.4k] Summary: âIâm going to get my scars removed,â Draco announces on a rainy Wednesday afternoon. âWho are you seeing?â Blaise asks. âThe best Healer out there,â Draco replies with a little shrug. âHarry Potter.â
khalulu wrote Birds of Dreams / Remover of Obstacles / Guardian of Waters for @crazybutgoodâ [G, ~12k] Summary: Harry is exploring his Desi heritage, and Draco runs into him in colourful circumstances. Luna has a penchant for puns and the Patils watch Bollywood. Paper is folded, a flying carpet takes an Indian road trip, and a phoenix is found. Love blooms along the way, a flower thatâs free. Â

@doingthechachaslideâ wrote Canary Creams and New Yellow Paint for @tedahfromtaylaâ [E, ~72k] Summary: Itâs not Dracoâs fault that Potter is seeing things and Scorpiusâs campaign to be the Ministryâs Creature Liaison is struggling, itâs not. Draco didnât 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 hadnât asked for any of that either, though, so when Potter and the rest of Dracoâs patients start to see mysterious symbols through their prosthetic eyes, and the resulting blow to Dracoâs public reputation drags Scorpiusâs 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. Â

âIâm going to get my scars removed,â Draco announces on a rainy Wednesday afternoon.
âWho are you seeing?â Blaise asks.
âThe best Healer out there,â Draco replies with a little shrug. âHarry Potter.â

Fire Meet Gasoline by @lettersbyelise [62k]
When Dracoâs anger management issues land him in St Mungoâs, he thinks his Quidditch career is over. But Harry, A&E Healer and notorious workaholic, is faced with a similar predicament. To save their jobs, the two of them decide to fake a relationship. All they have to do is convince their friends and employers⌠and not fall in love in the process. Simple, right?
Historians by @oknowkiss [29k]
Itâs the Dumbledoreâs Army Reunion Holiday, and Harryâs found himself in hot water with his friends once again, after telling them he has a boyfriend he definitely does not have. In an attempt to fix things, heâs made it his colleague on Level Nine, Draco Malfoyâs problem too. Featuring a ski chalet in Switzerland, a pair of bunk beds, and an agreement that shouldâve been simple, were it not for all the bloody feelings getting in the way.

Trouble with your tie, Potter? by @tenthousandyearsxâ [6k]
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.
The Unknown Door by @amywaterwings [60k]
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 theyâre definitely not hiding from their problems in the run-down flats of the Bellcrest. Not at all. Not one bit. It goes as well as one might expect.
I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!
