🎵 Song Prompt: §1 by Opeth
🎵 Summary:
Lucius Malfoy is dead.
The last thing Harry expects is an invitation to the reading of his will—let alone a handwritten note tucked inside: Bring the hawthorn wand. Please. The last word is written with care, but also force—like it cost Draco something to ask.
It doesn’t feel like a good idea, returning to Malfoy Manor. But when Harry thumbs the wand he’s carried since the war, he knows he’ll go.
When the house comes to life and refuses Draco as its heir, he’s abandoned by everyone but Harry. Together, they descend into a place where memory becomes magic, the walls remember everything, and the past refuses to stay buried.
🎵 Someone pour me up a double shot of fics please

📻 Up Until You Lost It All [Teen , 2,371, Digital Art]
🎵 Song Prompt: Delusional by Simon Curtis
🎵 Summary: Voldemort fell at Harry Potter's hand. Now Harry will make sure all Death Eaters meet same fate.
It's not a revenge, he then tells the press, only unbiased strike against the criminals. Harry Potter Does Not date criminals (the history said otherwise).
📻 never something I could hide [M, 5,809, Digital]
✏️ 🖋️ Artist and Author: @lemonlans (artist) and @shewritesmaybe (author)
🎵 Song Prompt: Sunrise by Norah Jones
🎵 Summary: The war is over, but Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter are still locked into the roles the Wizarding World wants them to play. It's tiresome, really.
********************************************
“Do you think, Draco - do you think we’ll just…?” Harry started, stopped, started again. “Keep doing this?”
Draco glanced at him curiously. “This?”
“These… these almosts. A party. A garden. A wet street during the witching hour.”
Draco was quiet for a long moment, and when they approached a luxury flat, he pulled over to the side of the building. “This is me, then, Harry. And maybe. You always seem to find me in the dark.”
Harry looked at him. “You pretend during the day. In the dark you’re… you-ier.”
🎶 H/D Wireless Fic 🎶
📻 Hope was new [T, 9,424]
🖋️ Author: Charlotte_Stant @boxboxlewis
🎵 Song Prompt: My Favourite Game by the Cardigans
🎵 Summary: Malfoy looked terrible. The cut on his cheek was puckered and oozing, and the knobs of his shoulders poked through his t-shirt. But he was talking as if he was still the golden boy of Hogwarts: as if he was the heir to every nice thing in the world. Harry felt furiously angry all of a sudden. “How about ‘Thank you, Harry’?” he said. “How about, ‘Wow, it was very considerate of you to keep me out of prison, sorry I never acknowledged it, that was really rude of me’? You’re sitting here in my house insulting me, and you haven’t even put the kettle on. ”
To his surprise, Malfoy started to laugh. It wasn’t a very nice laugh.
📻 The Night Shift [Explicit, 16,100]
🖋️ Author: @erin-orolin
🎵 Song Prompt: Night Shift by Lucy Dacus
🎵 Summary: It turns out Harry’s new Auror partner is a vampire.
Might’ve been polite for someone to let him know.
📻 Dreaming of Revelry [E, 7,573 ]
🖋️ Author: @the-prettiest-w0lf-star
🎵 Song Prompt: Revelry by Kings of Leon
🎵 Summary: "In the dark of the night, I can hear you calling my name With the hardest of hearts, I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask if you're ever around
Even though it was me who drove us right in the ground!" - Revelry by King's of Leon
With Harry’s return to Oxford closing in, thoughts of his summer trip to France with his godfather—and the whirlwind romance he didn’t see coming—consume him.
📻 Like Falling Asleep [E, 31,006]
🖋️ Author: @draykray
🎵 Song Prompt: Wasteland by Royal & the Serpent
🎵 Summary: Irreparably damaged after the war, Harry has a choice to make: drag someone down with him or let the disease run its course.
OR: Harry is dying and Draco doesn't know how to mind his business.
📻 Gnosticism as the Natural Outcome of Melancholia [Not Rated, 4,810 ]
🖋️ Author: @mourningliliesmorningglories
🎵 Song Prompt: If We Were Vampires by Noah Kahan (feat. Wesley Schultz)

🎵 Summary: On a warm summer night in Maine, at Luna's (second) wedding, Harry runs into someone from his past who helps him realize he might have more choices than he thought.
📻 My Favorite Liar [E, 43,160]
🖋️ Author: Poppyhills @upon-poppyhills
🎵 Song Prompt: My Favorite Liar by The Wrecks
🎵 Summary: It’s Pansy’s fault, really, for inviting Draco’s Quidditch star ex and his new boytoy to her wedding cruise. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and nothing is more desperate than asking the only other wizard in England who can compete in both looks and fame to fake being in love with him for seven days.
The fact that Potter is also his boss, roommate, and occasional friend should make it easier.
So Draco has it handled. Everything is fine.
Draco's an exceptional liar and Potter is…well, admittedly Potter is becoming a problem.
📻 Signs of a Lifetime [T, 1,758]
🖋️ Author: sezzabean @frank-lilac
🎵 Song Prompt: Don’t Delete the Kisses - Wolf Alice
🎵 Summary: Draco keeps giving Harry the slip, but it ends tonight.

📻 Socratic Methods [E, 79,103 ]
🖋️ Author: @thecouchsofa
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Bed Chem' by Sabrina Carpenter
🎵 Summary: Against his better judgement, Harry agrees to appear on WENIS – a charity gameshow designed to lead contestants to the deepest desires of their hearts, while also showcasing Wheezes’ new line of adult products.
The aphrodisiac tea quickly gets the better of him.
So does Malfoy.
📻 Bathed in Starlight, Shrouded in Truth [T, 5,574]
🖋️ Author: @devious--muffin
🎵 Song Prompt: Stargazing by Myles Smith
🎵 Summary: After the war, both Harry and Draco are willing to shed their old prejudices and grow as individuals, forming a tentative friendship. They remain friendly after Hogwarts, though no more in each other's lives than when they were in the castle together, until several independent decisions bring them back into each other's orbit. Once Harry gets out of his own way, he realizes how deep his feelings for Draco actually run, but it takes far longer for Draco to do the same.
📻 wonders bright [M, 7,160]
🖋️ Author: @zhizhuu
🎵 Song Prompt: The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! by Sufjan Stevens
🎵 Summary: When Harry stumbles upon Malfoy walking the streets of Muggle London, what else is he to do besides follow?
📻 in the wells of silence [E, 35,788]
🖋️ Author: @the-invisibility-bloke
🎵 Song Prompt: The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel (cover by Disturbed)
🎵 Summary: In a challenge to see who can shut up the longest, Harry and Draco stop speaking. Shame that’s not enough to stop them falling in love.
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Take A Chance On Me' by 'ABBA'
🎵 Summary: Auror Harry is newly divorced and deals with the aftermath while trying to solve a difficult case. Robards is being annoyingly over-protective. And, naturally, confirmed bachelor Draco Malfoy is in the middle of it all.
📻 shake the disease [E, 70,012]
🖋️ Author: lealam @gregqoyle
🎵 Song Prompt: shake the disease by depeche mode
🎵 Summary: After Draco gets one too many complaints at work, Harry gets assigned to the job of preventing any more. Only, he discovers things are far more complicated than they seem, with corrupt Aurors, a society on the brink of collapse and a magical disease slowly draining the life from Draco.
📻 Ankles [E, 36,787]
🖋️ Author: @citrusses
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Ankles' by 'Lucy Dacus'
🎵 Summary: Of course Harry feels weird that Draco and Neville got engaged—they’re only twenty-six years old. What’s the rush? And to make matters worse, ever since Neville and Draco’s very odd, very Pureblood engagement party, something is off between Draco and Harry. There’s no logical reason the engagement would change things between them. Draco’s just his friend. Isn’t he?
📻 That's (That Draco) Espresso [E, 25,653]
🖋️ Author: @ravenesse
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Espresso' by Sabrina Carpenter
🎵 Summary: When Draco unexpectedly shows up in Harry’s life after the war, Harry finds himself obsessed with him all over again.
It definitely doesn’t help that the blonde git has become a massive global superstar, performing hit songs from his award-winning albums, night after night on his world tour, which sold out in less than a day.
The fact that they are forced to work together on a special collaboration to promote Harry’s unique brand of creature-friendly espresso won’t change anything at all between them.
Or so the two of them firmly believe, until they see each other again in person.
📻 all up in it [E, 7,109]
🖋️ Author: @poljupci
🎵 Song Prompt: Guess (ft. Billie) by CharlieXCX
🎵 Summary: Draco folds the panties into a white box with a shiny bow on top. There is no note; Potter knows his owl.
📻 All The Noise [M, 37,589]
🖋️ Author: @draco-abraxas
🎵 Song Prompt: Bees by The Ballroom Thieves
🎵 Summary: There's a simple solution to all these problems. Draco could find it if he tried. But he's too busy walking into the lion's mouth, too busy trying to solve the problem before it's too late, too busy to hear Harry tell him that it's all going to be okay.
📻 Promise Not to Stop [E, 2,023 ]
🖋️ Author: @maraudersaffair
🎵 Song Prompt: "Everlong" by "Foo Fighters"
🎵 Summary: Draco loves it when Auror Potter degrades him.
📻 Chasing a Life [Gen, 5,068]
🖋️ Author: Dazeventura6
🎵 Song Prompt: Breath of Life by Florence + The Machine
🎵 Summary: Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts is off to a terrible start, but maybe an unexpected friendship can make a difference and change the course of his life...for the better.
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Talk Talk featuring troye sivan' by 'Charli XCX'
🎵 Summary: Harry is full of confidence as he enters the French Ministry on a sunny June morning. He's prepared for this meeting. Overprepared, in fact. Ready for any question they can throw at him. Primed for success.
But as it turns out, there’s one thing Harry couldn’t prepare for: his interpreter. The person assigned to whisper in his ear all week; the distractingly sexy bastard with a smirking mouth and clever tongue.
Apparently, Harry's mission this week isn't just to bring the Quidditch World Cup home to England; it's to do it without falling in love with Draco bloody Malfoy.
Or
Harry falls in love in Paris.
📻 Leave in the Morning [M, 23,922]
🖋️ Author: Justlikewriting
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Smalltown Boy' by 'Bronski Beat'
🎵 Summary: Draco hadn’t chosen the easy way out. He’d defied his parents and created his own path: whatever people thought, however little money he had, he had built a life for himself. And it was difficult. Hard. But more than he deserved.
Meanwhile, Harry had done exactly what had been expected of him, had moulded his life entirely the way he’d been supposed to. But then Ginny had left him anyway. And it was difficult. Unfair. And not at all what he’d expected.
Which was when he saw Draco Malfoy, clearly not particularly welcome, walking into the Ministry on a Friday afternoon nonetheless.
📻 After the Rain [T, 2,316 ]
🖋️ Author: @skeptiquewrites
🎵 Song Prompt: So Tied Up by Cold War Kids
🎵 Summary: A past betrayal, dark Magic remnants, and the questions left after time apart.
📻 I Ain't Afraid Of No Bed [E, 13,489]
🖋️ Author: @xalandrix
🎵 Song Prompt: Bustin by Neil Cicierega
🎵 Summary: Ghostly sexual extortion is simply an occupational hazard in this line of work.
📻 Shades of Sundawn [E, 32,520]
🖋️ Author: @rainjulyx
🎵 Song Prompt: Afterglow by Ed Sheeran
🎵 Summary: In the shades of sundawn, Harry fell in love. But shhh! Keep that for yourself, Harry doesn't know it yet.
Or: It takes a decade long unaddressed flirting, unacknowledged yearning, and defiantly dancing around each other for Harry to finally face the truth of his hatred.
📻 The Blush [E, 15,878]
🖋️ Author: @Willowingscribe
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Here You Come Again' by Dolly Parton
🎵 Summary: Harry knows a terrible secret about Draco Malfoy.
Terrible in that it's entirely implausible and also makes sense in a frightening kind of way. Terrible because it steals Harry’s breath and then later his sleep, grows into an ache inside his chest. All the more awful because he can't tell anybody about it without having to give his own secret away.
Malfoy blushes when Harry flirts with him.
And Harry is addicted to making it happen as often as possible.
📻 Better Than None [E, 20,025]
🖋️ Author: @use-it-well
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Kiss With A Fist' by 'Florence and the Machine'
🎵 Summary: So much had changed on Harry’s return to Hogwarts that it was a relief to find himself almost immediately fighting with Malfoy. And when those fights turned to a different kind of contact, who was Harry to resist? And if the only way Harry could get to feel Malfoy’s body against his own again was to goad him into a fight, what else could he do? After all, a kiss with a fist is better than none.
📻 Let the Air In [E, 66,666]
🖋️ Author: Theartfulldodger @graymatters
🎵 Song Prompt: Big Wheel by Samia
🎵 Summary: Draco does only ever as he wants, and especially when it's a test.
📻 Be with Me [E, 2,200]
🖋️ Author: @nv-md
🎵 Song Prompt: Beneath Oak Trees by Dylan Gossett
🎵 Summary: Draco and Harry are in love. That's it, that's the whole plot.
📻 This Moment's Silence [E, 8,175]
🖋️ Author: @lightningrogers
🎵 Song Prompt: Moment's Silence (Common Tongue) by Hozier
🎵 Summary: “Why are you here, Potter?”
“Bored, I guess. Why are you calling me Potter, Draco?”
“Because,” Draco hisses, his face twisted in a familiar grimace. “The other night was a mistake. That’s what you are to me. What you’ve always been.”
“Hm,” Harry hums. “I find that really hard to believe.”
Or: Harry knows he’s upended Draco’s serene life—and their tentative friendship—at Hogwarts after a single, seemingly mistaken night. He wants to pursue it, Draco wants to forget it. Whatever it is.
If Harry loves anything though, it’s a challenge, and Draco’s one he wants to pull apart more than anything.
📻 Certified Mind Blower [M, 9,119]
🖋️ Author: @moonflower-rose
🎵 Song Prompt: No. 1 Party Anthem by Arctic Monkeys
🎵 Summary: The sun rises as their night ends, and as good as it feels to be young and drunk and surrounded by his friends (even the ones whose names he can't quite remember), Harry thinks it could be just a little bit better. And if Malfoy shows up at the club tonight, Harry might finally try to make it happen.
📻 Something to Save [M, 44,538]
🖋️ Author: @lovelyloveliesss
🎵 Song Prompt: Your Ex-Lover is Dead
🎵 Summary: After a confusing Eighth year at Hogwarts, Draco returns to the manor and Harry doesn’t see him again. That is, until they stumble upon each other in muggle London six years later, now living completely different lives.
A story built on both the past and the present. About holding on and letting go.
📻 Tiny but Mighty [E, 8,361]
🖋️ Author: meandminniemcg
🎵 Song Prompt: 'It Must Have Been Love' by 'Roxette'
🎵 Summary: They had a perfect, beautiful summer while working on Eilean nan Dragòn. But now it's September, and their escape from reality is over.
📻 Longbottom’s Garden and Other Muggle Drugs [M, 9,342]
🖋️ Author: @albondiguilla007
🎵 Song Prompt: “Young, Wild & Free,” by Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Bruno Mars
🎵 Summary: Harry Potter is a disaster. Draco still wants him.
📻 Go Easy On Me [T, 5,500]
🖋️ Author: @phoebe-delia
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Easy On Me' by 'Adele'
🎵 Summary: They’re not divorced; they’re separated. It’s an important distinction.
📻 Green Eyes (You Were Swimming in My Mind Before You Told Me So) [E, 14,731]
🖋️ Author: @bluedahlia912
🎵 Song Prompt: "Green Eyes:: Siena" by Nothing But Thieves
🎵 Summary: “I hear you’ll be joining us at Hogwarts this year,” said a smooth voice from just beside him.
Harry groaned, rolling his eyes to the ceiling.
“You seem excited about it,” Malfoy said sarcastically.
“I am excited about it,” Harry said through gritted teeth. “I am not, however, excited about you.”
*****
Worn paths and opportunities missed, Harry isn’t going to let this second chance slip through his fingers. He just doesn’t know it yet.
📻 simmer down, pucker up [E, 16,406]
🖋️ Author: @wolfpadx
🎵 Song Prompt: Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys
🎵 Summary: Every time Harry and Draco are in the same room, it’s like this: combative. competitive. teasing. fun. Harry’s never thought much of it—not in any way he’d admit to another soul or in the light of day—but when an impromptu party at Harry’s house has their friends giving voice to the tension they’ve never named, Harry can’t help but wonder… does this feeling flow both ways?
📻 Floating Vibes [E, 19,225]
🖋️ Author: @wolfpants
🎵 Song Prompt: Floating Vibes by Surfer Blood
🎵 Summary: It’s tradition: a group holiday, and Harry making terrible decisions. Mostly involving Draco. What starts as an experimental hookup quickly becomes a lot more complicated than either of them expected.
📻 Fight so dirty, but you love so sweet [E, 11,783]
🖋️ Author: @drwhoisginnyholmes
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Teeth' by '5 Seconds of Summer'
🎵 Summary: Every time Draco and Harry run into each other they end up fighting, however, not many people know that after a while, the fighting turned into something more pleasurable. But they still hate each other, right?
📻 Take The Lead [E, 39,347]
🖋️ Author: @peachydreamxx
🎵 Song Prompt: looking at me by sabrina carpenter
🎵 Summary: When an unfortunate health-related mishap occurs in the middle of the pre-season game, professional Quidditch Chaser Potter is left benched before the season has even started. But it's not all doom and gloom. He's tasked with mentoring the team's last-minute replacement - Draco Malfoy.
📻 something unholy [E, 25,195]
🖋️ Author: avigethwrites @avigethblogs
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Unholy' by 'Sam Smith' and 'Kim Petras'

📻 Puddifoot’s Passion Parlour [E, 10196]
🖋️ Author: @sweet-s0rr0w
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Love Shack' by 'the B52s'
🎵 Summary: “Ah yes,” the Portkey officer says, his flush deepening. “That’s the problem, you see. Everywhere’s booked up, what with it being end of term and all. I have found you… something, though.”
“And when you say you, I presume you’re referring to the both of us?” asks Draco, the words coming out clipped, dangerously precise.
The little man glances pleadingly at Harry, then wipes his brow. “Look, I hadn’t realised there’d be–”
Harry’s cold, and hungry, and his bum’s starting to ache. “Come on, Draco,” he says abruptly, getting to his feet. “It’s just one night. I’m sure we can manage to share a room.”
📻 Portions For Foxes [E, 27,921]
🖋️ Author: LoveofLiminality @autumnrae93
🎵 Song Prompt: Portions for Foxes by Rilo Kiley
🎵 Summary: Draco was an idiot. But in his defense, he felt he deserved to be. The more he looked back, the more he saw that he had always been an idiot when it came to Potter. From the first time they had met in Madam Malkin's, Draco hadn't known what to do.
📻 They “Don’t” Know About Us [M, 25,849]
🖋️ Author: @quillandmagic
🎵 Song Prompt: They Don’t Know About Us by One Directions
🎵 Summary: Harry and Draco start dating at the end of 8th year and decide to keep it a secret while they figure out life post-Hogwarts. Unfortunately, they are both terrible at being sneaky.

🖋️ Author: @dodgerkedavra
🎵 Song Prompt: A Little Bit of Everything by Dawes
🎵 Summary: Harry's not going to jump off the tip-top of Tower Bridge. He's only, like, checking it out. He doesn't need to be rescued.
His ex-almost-fiancé Draco Malfoy disagrees.
📻 The Last Will and Testament of Father [Teen, 24,720]
🖋️ Author: @iero0
🎵 Song Prompt: §1 by Opeth
🎵 Summary: Lucius Malfoy is dead.
The last thing Harry expects is an invitation to the reading of his will—let alone a handwritten note tucked inside: Bring the hawthorn wand. Please. The last word is written with care, but also force—like it cost Draco something to ask.
It doesn’t feel like a good idea, returning to Malfoy Manor. But when Harry thumbs the wand he’s carried since the war, he knows he’ll go.
When the house comes to life and refuses Draco as its heir, he’s abandoned by everyone but Harry. Together, they descend into a place where memory becomes magic, the walls remember everything, and the past refuses to stay buried.
🎶 H/D Wireless Podfic 🎶
📻 Shut Up, This Is Love [Mature, 03:15:44]
🎤 Podficcer: @reveriepi
🎵 Song Prompt: 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac
🎵 Summary: A soulmark is never wrong, Draco tells him — as if Harry cares what this damn chain on his arm says. But Harry is nothing if not stubborn, and he’d rather die than let a stupid mark determine whom he can and cannot have.
Podfic of Shut Up, This Is Love by MyNameIsThunder.
📻 Take You Home [E, 2:53:31 ]
🎤 Podficcer: @cailynwrites
🎵 Song Prompt: Take you home - Dido
🎵 Summary: Everybody’s a little fucked up after the war, Draco especially. What starts as hate sex after a night out, eventually turns into something else, something more like comfort. And even though his friends all tell Harry he’s just being used, all Harry’s doing is making sure Draco gets home in one piece. He’s not falling helplessly in love.

📻 Hope was new [T, 9,424]
🎵 Song Prompt: My Favourite Game by the Cardigans
🎵 Summary: Malfoy looked terrible. The cut on his cheek was puckered and oozing, and the knobs of his shoulders poked through his t-shirt. But he was talking as if he was still the golden boy of Hogwarts: as if he was the heir to every nice thing in the world. Harry felt furiously angry all of a sudden. “How about ‘Thank you, Harry’?” he said. “How about, ‘Wow, it was very considerate of you to keep me out of prison, sorry I never acknowledged it, that was really rude of me’? You’re sitting here in my house insulting me, and you haven’t even put the kettle on. ”
To his surprise, Malfoy started to laugh. It wasn’t a very nice laugh.

With Harry’s return to Oxford closing in, thoughts of his summer trip to France with his godfather—and the whirlwind romance he didn’t see coming—consume him.

🎵 Song Prompt: Wasteland by Royal & the Serpent

📻 My Favorite Liar [E, 43,160]
🎵 Song Prompt: My Favorite Liar by The Wrecks
🎵 Summary: It’s Pansy’s fault, really, for inviting Draco’s Quidditch star ex and his new boytoy to her wedding cruise. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and nothing is more desperate than asking the only other wizard in England who can compete in both looks and fame to fake being in love with him for seven days.
The fact that Potter is also his boss, roommate, and occasional friend should make it easier.
So Draco has it handled. Everything is fine.
Draco's an exceptional liar and Potter is…well, admittedly Potter is becoming a problem.
📻 Signs of a Lifetime [T, 1,758]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Bed Chem' by Sabrina Carpenter
🎵 Summary: Against his better judgement, Harry agrees to appear on WENIS – a charity gameshow designed to lead contestants to the deepest desires of their hearts, while also showcasing Wheezes’ new line of adult products.
The aphrodisiac tea quickly gets the better of him.
So does Malfoy.
📻 Bathed in Starlight, Shrouded in Truth [T, 5,574]
🎵 Song Prompt: Stargazing by Myles Smith
🎵 Summary: After the war, both Harry and Draco are willing to shed their old prejudices and grow as individuals, forming a tentative friendship. They remain friendly after Hogwarts, though no more in each other's lives than when they were in the castle together, until several independent decisions bring them back into each other's orbit. Once Harry gets out of his own way, he realizes how deep his feelings for Draco actually run, but it takes far longer for Draco to do the same.
📻 wonders bright [M, 7,160]
🎵 Song Prompt: The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! by Sufjan Stevens
🎵 Summary: When Harry stumbles upon Malfoy walking the streets of Muggle London, what else is he to do besides follow?
📻 in the wells of silence [E, 35,788]
🎵 Song Prompt: The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel (cover by Disturbed)
🎵 Summary: In a challenge to see who can shut up the longest, Harry and Draco stop speaking. Shame that’s not enough to stop them falling in love.
📻 First In Line [M, 14,420]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Take A Chance On Me' by ABBA
🎵 Summary: Auror Harry is newly divorced and deals with the aftermath while trying to solve a difficult case. Robards is being annoyingly over-protective. And, naturally, confirmed bachelor Draco Malfoy is in the middle of it all.
📻 shake the disease [E, 70,012]
🎵 Song Prompt: Shake the Disease by Depeche Mode
🎵 Summary: After Draco gets one too many complaints at work, Harry gets assigned to the job of preventing any more. Only, he discovers things are far more complicated than they seem, with corrupt Aurors, a society on the brink of collapse and a magical disease slowly draining the life from Draco.
📻 Ankles [E, 36,787]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Ankles' by Lucy Dacus
🎵 Summary: Of course Harry feels weird that Draco and Neville got engaged—they’re only twenty-six years old. What’s the rush? And to make matters worse, ever since Neville and Draco’s very odd, very Pureblood engagement party, something is off between Draco and Harry. There’s no logical reason the engagement would change things between them. Draco’s just his friend. Isn’t he?
📻 That's (That Draco) Espresso [E, 25,653]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Espresso' by Sabrina Carpenter
🎵 Summary: When Draco unexpectedly shows up in Harry’s life after the war, Harry finds himself obsessed with him all over again.
It definitely doesn’t help that the blonde git has become a massive global superstar, performing hit songs from his award-winning albums, night after night on his world tour, which sold out in less than a day.
The fact that they are forced to work together on a special collaboration to promote Harry’s unique brand of creature-friendly espresso won’t change anything at all between them.
Or so the two of them firmly believe, until they see each other again in person.
📻 all up in it [E, 7,109]
🎵 Song Prompt: Guess (ft. Billie) by CharlieXCX
🎵 Summary: Draco folds the panties into a white box with a shiny bow on top. There is no note; Potter knows his owl.
📻 All The Noise [M, 37,589]
🎵 Song Prompt: Bees by The Ballroom Thieves
🎵 Summary: There's a simple solution to all these problems. Draco could find it if he tried. But he's too busy walking into the lion's mouth, too busy trying to solve the problem before it's too late, too busy to hear Harry tell him that it's all going to be okay.
📻 Promise Not to Stop [E, 2,023 ]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Everlong' by Foo Fighters
🎵 Summary: Draco loves it when Auror Potter degrades him.
📻 Chasing a Life [Gen, 5,068]
🎵 Song Prompt: Breath of Life by Florence + The Machine
🎵 Summary: Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts is off to a terrible start, but maybe an unexpected friendship can make a difference and change the course of his life...for the better.
📻 Talk To Me In French [E, 64,639]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Talk Talk featuring troye sivan' by Charli XCX
🎵 Summary: Harry is full of confidence as he enters the French Ministry on a sunny June morning. He's prepared for this meeting. Overprepared, in fact. Ready for any question they can throw at him. Primed for success.
But as it turns out, there’s one thing Harry couldn’t prepare for: his interpreter. The person assigned to whisper in his ear all week; the distractingly sexy bastard with a smirking mouth and clever tongue.
Apparently, Harry's mission this week isn't just to bring the Quidditch World Cup home to England; it's to do it without falling in love with Draco bloody Malfoy.
Or
Harry falls in love in Paris.
📻 Leave in the Morning [M, 23,922]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Smalltown Boy' by Bronski Beat
🎵 Summary: Draco hadn’t chosen the easy way out. He’d defied his parents and created his own path: whatever people thought, however little money he had, he had built a life for himself. And it was difficult. Hard. But more than he deserved.
Meanwhile, Harry had done exactly what had been expected of him, had moulded his life entirely the way he’d been supposed to. But then Ginny had left him anyway. And it was difficult. Unfair. And not at all what he’d expected.
Which was when he saw Draco Malfoy, clearly not particularly welcome, walking into the Ministry on a Friday afternoon nonetheless.
📻 After the Rain [T, 2,316 ]
🎵 Song Prompt: So Tied Up by Cold War Kids
🎵 Summary: A past betrayal, dark Magic remnants, and the questions left after time apart.
📻 I Ain't Afraid Of No Bed [E, 13,489]
🎵 Song Prompt: Bustin by Neil Cicierega
🎵 Summary: Ghostly sexual extortion is simply an occupational hazard in this line of work.
📻 Shades of Sundawn [E, 32,520]
🎵 Song Prompt: Afterglow by Ed Sheeran
🎵 Summary: In the shades of sundawn, Harry fell in love. But shhh! Keep that for yourself, Harry doesn't know it yet.
Or: It takes a decade long unaddressed flirting, unacknowledged yearning, and defiantly dancing around each other for Harry to finally face the truth of his hatred.
📻 The Blush [E, 15,878]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Here You Come Again' by Dolly Parton
🎵 Summary: Harry knows a terrible secret about Draco Malfoy.
Terrible in that it's entirely implausible and also makes sense in a frightening kind of way. Terrible because it steals Harry’s breath and then later his sleep, grows into an ache inside his chest. All the more awful because he can't tell anybody about it without having to give his own secret away.
Malfoy blushes when Harry flirts with him.
And Harry is addicted to making it happen as often as possible.
📻 Better Than None [E, 20,025]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Kiss With A Fist' by Florence and the Machine
🎵 Summary: So much had changed on Harry’s return to Hogwarts that it was a relief to find himself almost immediately fighting with Malfoy. And when those fights turned to a different kind of contact, who was Harry to resist? And if the only way Harry could get to feel Malfoy’s body against his own again was to goad him into a fight, what else could he do? After all, a kiss with a fist is better than none.
📻 Let the Air In [E, 66,666]
🎵 Song Prompt: Big Wheel by Samia
🎵 Summary: Draco does only ever as he wants, and especially when it's a test.
📻 Be with Me [E, 2,200]
🎵 Song Prompt: Beneath Oak Trees by Dylan Gossett
🎵 Summary: Draco and Harry are in love. That's it, that's the whole plot.
📻 This Moment's Silence [E, 8,175]
🎵 Song Prompt: Moment's Silence (Common Tongue) by Hozier
🎵 Summary: “Why are you here, Potter?”
“Bored, I guess. Why are you calling me Potter, Draco?”
“Because,” Draco hisses, his face twisted in a familiar grimace. “The other night was a mistake. That’s what you are to me. What you’ve always been.”
“Hm,” Harry hums. “I find that really hard to believe.”
Or: Harry knows he’s upended Draco’s serene life—and their tentative friendship—at Hogwarts after a single, seemingly mistaken night. He wants to pursue it, Draco wants to forget it. Whatever it is.
If Harry loves anything though, it’s a challenge, and Draco’s one he wants to pull apart more than anything.
📻 Certified Mind Blower [M, 9,119]
🎵 Song Prompt: No. 1 Party Anthem by Arctic Monkeys
🎵 Summary: The sun rises as their night ends, and as good as it feels to be young and drunk and surrounded by his friends (even the ones whose names he can't quite remember), Harry thinks it could be just a little bit better. And if Malfoy shows up at the club tonight, Harry might finally try to make it happen.
📻 Something to Save [M, 44,538]
🎵 Song Prompt: Your Ex-Lover is Dead by Stars
🎵 Summary: After a confusing Eighth year at Hogwarts, Draco returns to the manor and Harry doesn’t see him again. That is, until they stumble upon each other in muggle London six years later, now living completely different lives.
A story built on both the past and the present. About holding on and letting go.
📻 Tiny but Mighty [E, 8,361]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'It Must Have Been Love' by Roxette
🎵 Summary: They had a perfect, beautiful summer while working on Eilean nan Dragòn. But now it's September, and their escape from reality is over.
📻 Longbottom’s Garden and Other Muggle Drugs [M, 9,342]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Young, Wild & Free' by Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Bruno Mars
🎵 Summary: Harry Potter is a disaster. Draco still wants him.
📻 Go Easy On Me [T, 5,500]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Easy On Me' by Adele
🎵 Summary: They’re not divorced; they’re separated. It’s an important distinction.
📻 Green Eyes (You Were Swimming in My Mind Before You Told Me So) [E, 14,731]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Green Eyes:: Siena' by Nothing But Thieves
🎵 Summary: “I hear you’ll be joining us at Hogwarts this year,” said a smooth voice from just beside him.
Harry groaned, rolling his eyes to the ceiling.
“You seem excited about it,” Malfoy said sarcastically.
“I am excited about it,” Harry said through gritted teeth. “I am not, however, excited about you.”
*****
Worn paths and opportunities missed, Harry isn’t going to let this second chance slip through his fingers. He just doesn’t know it yet.
📻 simmer down, pucker up [E, 16,406]
🎵 Song Prompt: Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys
🎵 Summary: Every time Harry and Draco are in the same room, it’s like this: combative. competitive. teasing. fun. Harry’s never thought much of it—not in any way he’d admit to another soul or in the light of day—but when an impromptu party at Harry’s house has their friends giving voice to the tension they’ve never named, Harry can’t help but wonder… does this feeling flow both ways?
📻 Floating Vibes [E, 19,225]
🎵 Song Prompt: Floating Vibes by Surfer Blood
🎵 Summary: It’s tradition: a group holiday, and Harry making terrible decisions. Mostly involving Draco. What starts as an experimental hookup quickly becomes a lot more complicated than either of them expected.
📻 Fight so dirty, but you love so sweet [E, 11,783]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Teeth' by 5 Seconds of Summer
🎵 Summary: Every time Draco and Harry run into each other they end up fighting, however, not many people know that after a while, the fighting turned into something more pleasurable. But they still hate each other, right?
📻 Take The Lead [E, 39,347]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Looking at me' by Sabrina Carpenter
🎵 Summary: When an unfortunate health-related mishap occurs in the middle of the pre-season game, professional Quidditch Chaser Potter is left benched before the season has even started. But it's not all doom and gloom. He's tasked with mentoring the team's last-minute replacement - Draco Malfoy.
📻 something unholy [E, 25,195]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Unholy' by Sam Smith and Kim Petras
🎵 Summary: It's 2008 and Harry finally has the picture-perfect family he always dreamed of. If only he knew how to keep his business clean.
📻 What Heat [E, 5,716]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Plume' by the Smashing Pumpkins
🎵 Summary: Ever since the potion exploded, Harry can't cool down.
📻 Puddifoot’s Passion Parlour [E, 10196]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'Love Shack' by the B52s
🎵 Summary: “Ah yes,” the Portkey officer says, his flush deepening. “That’s the problem, you see. Everywhere’s booked up, what with it being end of term and all. I have found you… something, though.”
“And when you say you, I presume you’re referring to the both of us?” asks Draco, the words coming out clipped, dangerously precise.
The little man glances pleadingly at Harry, then wipes his brow. “Look, I hadn’t realised there’d be–”
Harry’s cold, and hungry, and his bum’s starting to ache. “Come on, Draco,” he says abruptly, getting to his feet. “It’s just one night. I’m sure we can manage to share a room.”
📻 Portions For Foxes [E, 27,921]
🎵 Song Prompt: Portions for Foxes by Rilo Kiley
🎵 Summary: Draco was an idiot. But in his defense, he felt he deserved to be. The more he looked back, the more he saw that he had always been an idiot when it came to Potter. From the first time they had met in Madam Malkin's, Draco hadn't known what to do.
📻 They “Don’t” Know About Us [M, 25,849]
🎵 Song Prompt: They Don’t Know About Us by One Directions
🎵 Summary: Harry and Draco start dating at the end of 8th year and decide to keep it a secret while they figure out life post-Hogwarts. Unfortunately, they are both terrible at being sneaky.
Featuring: acceptance in the form of threats, goats as bribes, and the two-dimensional nature of silencing charms.
📻 A Little Bit of Everything [E, 33,088]
🎵 Song Prompt: A Little Bit of Everything by Dawes
🎵 Summary: Harry's not going to jump off the tip-top of Tower Bridge. He's only, like, checking it out. He doesn't need to be rescued.
His ex-almost-fiancé Draco Malfoy disagrees.
📻 The Last Will and Testament of Father [Teen, 24,720]
🎵 Song Prompt: §1 by Opeth
🎵 Summary: Lucius Malfoy is dead.
The last thing Harry expects is an invitation to the reading of his will—let alone a handwritten note tucked inside: Bring the hawthorn wand. Please. The last word is written with care, but also force—like it cost Draco something to ask.
It doesn’t feel like a good idea, returning to Malfoy Manor. But when Harry thumbs the wand he’s carried since the war, he knows he’ll go.
When the house comes to life and refuses Draco as its heir, he’s abandoned by everyone but Harry. Together, they descend into a place where memory becomes magic, the walls remember everything, and the past refuses to stay buried.

📻 Shut Up, This Is Love [Mature, 03:15:44]
🎵 Song Prompt: 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac
🎵 Summary: A soulmark is never wrong, Draco tells him — as if Harry cares what this damn chain on his arm says. But Harry is nothing if not stubborn, and he’d rather die than let a stupid mark determine whom he can and cannot have.
(Podfic of Shut Up, This Is Love by MyNameIsThunder)
📻 Take You Home [E, 2:53:31 ]
🎵 Song Prompt: Take you home - Dido
🎵 Summary: Everybody’s a little fucked up after the war, Draco especially. What starts as hate sex after a night out, eventually turns into something else, something more like comfort. And even though his friends all tell Harry he’s just being used, all Harry’s doing is making sure Draco gets home in one piece. He’s not falling helplessly in love.
(Podfic of Take You Home by lq_traintracks)
One of the questions I see float around on tumblr often is "How do you find new fics?" I think one of the best ways to find new fics is through authors you already love, whether you're just following them and seeing what they're reblogging or digging through their bookmarks, it's a surefire way to find new fics. I've admired @ladderofyears' work for ages, and was thrilled when she agreed to give a rec. I fell in love with her rec and I know you will too!
Hello, and happy August to everybody reading today!
First, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to thedrarrylibrarian, both for inviting me to write a rec for Happy Hour and for all the hard work they do. It’s often said that fic reccers are the backbone of fandom, but there’s never been a truer sentence. It certainly makes my day whenever I’m recced and I think it’s safe to say that most other writers feel the same.
Now, with no further ado, let me begin this week’s rec.
Dear Stranger by @iero0 (22,751 words, rated T)
The one thing more pointless than falling in love with an anonymous wizard over a correspondence is falling in love with Harry Potter when you’re Draco Malfoy.
The story I’ve chosen is Dear Stanger, written by my friend @iero0 as part of @hd-cluefest. This was a fest which featured mysteries, secrets and surprises and this story doesn’t disappoint on any level.
Draco Malfoy – living a sparse, quiet existence as a potion emporium owner – receives the first of a series of anonymous letters very soon after Valentine’s Day. He doesn’t know who their author is and, at first, is suspicious that someone is out to trick him or cause him trouble. However, the letters keep arriving, and as the months pass, they change his whole life for the better.
Okay, I hear you saying; that sounds like every epistolary story ever written. What makes this story so different? Why should you give it your time? My answer to that is Draco, whose perspective this story is written from. He is the beating heart of this fic, and his characterisation is flawless. This Draco, without a doubt, is the best one I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.
Life hasn’t always been easy for him. The Malfoy fortune and lands are long gone, and finding a job after the war wasn’t simple. After serving a long probation, he found work in a Knockturn potions shop, taking it over after the owner died.
The Draco we meet when the fic opens isn’t the sarcastic, poised boy from Hogwarts; an existence of hard work, long hours, and caring for Narcissa has left him tightly wound, self-reliant and untrusting. He is touch-starved, and lonely. His days run through familiar routines, his friends have married and moved on, and seeing his mother each Sunday is his only excursion.
However, as we all know, Draco was always gifted at brewing potions, and this fact hasn’t changed. Harry Potter – top Auror and father of three – visits every single week, picking up his prescription whilst exchanging only a few scant words with Draco.
As the letters arrive, we see the walls Draco has built around his world slowly start to crumble. Under the encouragement of his fellow letter writer, Draco starts to take better care of himself, starts to smile more often, and begins to believe he is of value to the world. He starts to see himself from the letter writer’s perspective and blossoms in the light of their affection.
When I first read this fic, I was breathless with hope. I wanted so much for Draco’s anonymous stranger to reveal himself and give them the happiness they both deserved. The ending, when it arrived, gave me everything I wanted and has lived in my head ever since. There isn’t a week that goes past where I don’t think about the Draco who lives in this story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Plus, if this rec hasn’t persuaded you, there is beautiful art by @fictional (milkandhoney) embedded in this work which makes my heart soar every time I see it.
Thank you for reading, all my love - Ladderofyears.
Thank you so much, @ladderofyears for joining me for Happy Hour! I appreciate your time, energy, and the thoughtfulness you put into finding the perfect August rec for us.
❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️
when I read this, I was really, really close to tears :') I told you before, dear @ladderofyears, how amazing it feels to view something you've created through somebody else's eyes, and I can't thank you enough that you let me revisit this story through yours! the amazing art you had commissioned for Dear Stranger back then is still my desktop background - a dear reminder of your kindness and one o my first complete Drarry stories.

Summary: This close up, Draco can see the differences that have occurred over the years. Harry's hair is longer, although it's as unruly as ever; his forearms are well-muscled and decorated with ink; and there are small lines by his eyes that look like they would crinkle if he were smiling. Which, at this moment, he most definitely is not. He looks like he's worn the same clothes for three days and just rolled out of bed, yet Harry's so unfairly gorgeous it makes Draco's heart ache.
"What do you want, Draco?" Harry asks, his voice resigned.
The question snaps Draco out of his reverie. "A divorce," he proclaims as he opens his bag.

Summary: "Thirty, huh?" Pansy asked. “My cousin told me that Japan there’s this urban legend called ‘cherry magic’. It’s basically that if you turn thirty without, you know, popping your cherry, you get magical powers.”
“Pans, I don’t know how to put this to you, but we already have magical powers,” Draco said.
Pansy laughed. “No, you dolt. New ones. Apparently the legend goes that you become a mind reader.”
Draco shivered. “Sounds awful.”
“Anyway, it won’t happen to you, will it?” she asked.
Draco shifted a little uncomfortably. “Of course it won’t,” he said. “Because you just said it’s an urban legend.”
“I meant, it won’t happen to you because you’re not a virgin.”
Draco laughed.

Summary: Harry and his group of friends formulate a rather ambitious plan to re-acquire a rare diamond from the clutches of an old enemy—Theo Nott. Along the way, he's hoping to catch the attention of his ex—Draco Malfoy—who is now dating Theo.
“What have you heard?” Harry half-whispered.
“Rumours are going around that it’s the Starlight Diamond.” The guest half-whispered in reply, excitement practically vibrating out of the man’s pores.
“Starlight Diamond?” He feigned ignorance, flicking his glance between the guest and Ginny.
“Oh, right, I’m so sorry Mr. Potter. I often forget you didn’t grow up in our world.”
Harry twitched, fist clenched. In another life, he probably would have decked the guy for being a prick, but that was the kind of person this sort of event attracted. The old money and the nouveau riche, both looking to flaunt their means and gossip.

Summary: After discovering muggle romantic comedies during winter break, Pansy Parkinson and Luna Lovegood decide to launch an ambitious project called You've Got Owl Post which matches up students through an enchanted notebook so they can send letters to each other without knowing who is at the other end.

Everyone, including Harry and Draco, assumes it will be a disaster.
However, sometimes the people you think you know the best are the ones who can surprise you the most.
A story of letters, bets, friendship, love, forgiveness, and discovering who you really are.
