1. Split Soul by write_me227 [M, 267k]
Harry Potter always thought that life following the war would be worth living. However, six months after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry finds himself overwhelmed with violent grief and an unwanted PTSD diagnosis. [...] In a freak accident, Harry finds himself on Earth's Echo, a seemingly perfect reality that has never been touched by Voldemort. The only problem: Draco Malfoy is unapologetically in love with him. It's a problem that Harry is willing to overlook if it means he never has to go back to the miserable life he was living — until he realizes that there's much more to this so-called perfect reality than it seems, and it sends Harry deeper into the universe than he ever wanted to be.
2. Silver Runes and a Waterlogged Grave I by @whitesturgeon [M, 118k]

3. For the Time Being by soweer [E, 95k]
Draco and Harry's kids, James and Iris, along with Hugo, wanted a do-over of the day. Truly. That was all it was. So when they found a Time Turner, they had their chance to do that. What they didn't expect was accidentally landing in the middle of The Great Hall, staring at their young dad. Oh, and their parents hate each other.
4. The Noctis Codex by jjntashi [M, 84k]
The one thing Draco and Harry despise most? Each other. But the next thing? Discovering they’re not just dreaming about each other but are trapped together in the same dreams every time they fall asleep—reliving their most painful, private memories side by side. Forced to uncover the cause of this twisted magic, they’re drawn into a dangerous, ancient curse with ties to the deepest parts of the wizarding world. Now, as they race to break the bond between them, they find that the closer they get to the truth, the harder it is to pull away… and breaking free may mean facing something far darker—and far more intimate—than either of them ever imagined.
5. Friendly Competition by @jaysehasnograce [M, 74k]
Harry is going to be the new Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. He needed a change from the way his life had been going. Unfortunately, he finds out Draco Malfoy is also going to be starting as a Hogwarts professor. Their rivalry is, of course, not budging. But since they're teachers now, they're not allowed to fight (well, they tried, but going against Minerva McGonagall's wishes is never advised). They both become fixated on proving they're the best teacher [...]
6. In Between by velkalopsia [G, 72k]
Weeks after Draco publishes his memoir, a tell-all on his turbulent life, he vanishes.

In which Harry travels through Draco’s memories in an attempt to save him and ends up falling in love with him in the process.

Suffering from PTSD and survivor's guilt, a post-war Harry joins a trauma support group in the hopes of finding someone who can relate to what he saw Voldemort do. Unexpectedly, he runs into a war-torn Malfoy there and together they begin to process the horrors of war and being the ones left behind.
8. Bound By Ghosts by Malachiiemryss [E, 63k] *typo
[...] As fate draws them together, Harry and Draco discover unexpected solace in one another, their guarded defenses cracking as they navigate trust, forgiveness, and the possibility of something deeper. But in a world that hasn’t fully healed, they must decide if they’re willing to face the specters of their past or remain bound by the ghosts that haunt them both.
9. The Ashes of Phaeton by NNebula [E, 49k]
After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter had vanished, leaving a trail of mystery and unanswered questions in his wake. Draco Malfoy, now under the Ministry of Magic's watchful eye due to his past as a Death Eater, leads a mundane life filled with paperwork and menial tasks—until he is unexpectedly summoned to investigate a series of robberies targeting former Death Eaters. The moment Draco lays eyes on a blurred photograph of a suspect, he is gripped by a familiar dread. The man in the image bears an uncanny resemblance to Potter, igniting long-buried emotions and unresolved tension. [...]
