HD Erised 2025 recs
Here are some of my favorite fics from @hd-erised 2025. Listed in alphabetical order.
As It Was Left by @starquestingfordrarry [18k]
“Fuck the Manor. Take your pants off.” Harry and Draco are trapped.
The Curse Breaker’s Apprentice by @jelliewrites [60k]
The annoyance of Draco Malfoy looking like a cross between a catwalk model and a wet dream come to life had been a permanent irritant to Harry since fifth-year. No one deserved to look that good while being such a massive twat. Draco Malfoy is back. Back from France, back in Harry’s life and back to being a colossal thorn in his side. Wherever Harry goes, Malfoy is there; stealing his dream job, hijacking his friends and cockblocking him left, right and centre. It can't be coincidence: Draco Malfoy is most definitely Up To Something. You'd think things couldn't get any worse, but throw in an enchanted ring, a mysterious curse and a disgruntled ex-fiancée, and Harry's suddenly got a lot more trouble than he bargained for.
The Domestication of Draco Malfoy by @citrusses [28k]
This year's Season is Draco's chance to restore his family's reputation by making a marriage match. Draco is prepared: he's ready for Theodore Nott's barbs, for a less-than-stellar bride, for every boring dance step and lukewarm sip of punch. What he's not ready for is Harry Potter.
gone at dusk by veradubhghoill [5k]
They had agreed to an arrangement of sorts, but try as he might, Harry had never been very good at obeying rules.
How To Hump Your Rival In One Easy Step by @moonflower-rose [8k]
It took Harry many steps to follow Malfoy out into the school grounds, but only one to absolutely blow his mind.
The Lakes by @jtimu [37k]
When Draco Malfoy swans back into Harry’s life, he’s still a pointy, smug git. Some things never change. It’s fine. Malfoy can fix his motorbike, and Harry can ignore him. Besides, Harry’s just matched with a hot guy online, so he’s plenty occupied, and finally settling into his life in Cumbria. Even Malfoy can’t fuck that all up, can he?
A Prize for Rotten Judgement by iota / @sorrybutblog [12k]
Harry gripped Malfoy's forearm and pulled him forward so his tie fell into his soup. “Why does Neville want me to bring you to his party?” “I told him we were dating,” Malfoy said, reaching down to move his tie. Harry blinked slowly. He didn’t get what Malfoy was saying. “Why-y would you do that?” “Because he doesn’t like me. Yet.”
Restless Things by @tackytigerfic [7k]
Harry’s drawn up the divorce papers; all Draco has to do is sign them.
The Seaglass Arch by @shiftylinguini [27k]
Harry's summer begins with the energy and gusto of a piece of cake falling into a cup of tea and disintegrating into a sad, damp mess. And then he gets fucking stuck in Draco Malfoy's cottage for a weekend.
Stella et Cervus by @megreads99 [22k]
Amoris vulnus idem sanat, qui facit. The Malfoy curse was cruel: when the heart breaks, the body follows. Draco has carried the wound in silence, his body and soul bound to the one who unknowingly shattered him. But fate is merciless, because who should cross the threshold but Harry Potter, like a book that simply refuses to stay closed?
Ten Feet Apart by @orolin-writes [27k]
It was by complete accident, how Harry ended up taking a restraining order out against Draco Malfoy.
W.A.N.K.ers by @shewhxmustnxtbenamed [19k]
Harry and Draco touch wood.
I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

Christmas angst – Drarry
I literally had too much free time while waiting for lunch and they were victims of it.
The news of Narcissa's passing arrived just three months before Christmas. Two weeks before she was supposed to be able to return to Britain since her exile has beenforgiven. One day after Draco had received her last letter.
“I don’t have a family anymore, Harry,” he confessed, the words a bare, shattered whisper. “And everyone is with theirs. And they look at me and they remember why I don’t have one, and they’re glad. And I’m just… here. In the nothing. And I don’t know how to do it. I don’t know what to do with any of it.”
Harry swallowed, his heart drunk with worry and love that didn’t know where to go to.
"Come to the Burrow with me" the words came naturally and secure.
"What?" Harry felt as Draco's eyes finally looked at him.
"You're family Draco. You've become family, please come to the Burrow with me. Let's spend Christmas together"
❄️❄️❄️

ART:

FIC:
The Domestication of Draco Malfoy for @peachydreamxx [E, 29k]
This year's Season is Draco's chance to restore his family's reputation by making a marriage match. Draco is prepared: he's ready for Theodore Nott's barbs, for a less-than-stellar bride, for every boring dance step and lukewarm sip of punch. What he's not ready for is Harry Potter.
Never in England for @erin-orolin [E, 10k]
Harry and Draco keep hooking up at out-of-town work events. Back home they pretend like everything’s normal in front of their friends. Both have been fine with this arrangement, until one of them falls in love.
Academic Probation for @agentmoppet [E, 46k]
Harry hated Director Boone, the Death Division, and the failing marks on his Trainee Unspeakable Final Record. Harry probably would have hated academic probation, too, if he weren’t busy hating his tutor. Malfoy does a lot less tutoring than Harry would have thought, and anyway, Malfoy’s clearly Up To Something. Malfoy has a secret, and he knows Harry is determined to figure it out. He’ll even tell him, too, if only Harry can explain why he wants to become an Unspeakable. Too bad Harry doesn’t have a clue.
Elevation for @starquestingfordrarry [E, 14k]
Harry lives solo in the Rocky Mountains, and has grown to be one with nature and wild magics. Desperate for a breakthrough in his arcanoecology research, Draco makes the mistake of listening to his co-worker Luna.
blood from a stone for @jtimu [E, 9k]
The only fate worse than being held hostage with Potter is being held hostage with Potter under the Veritas curse.
Run Towards the Hills for @shewhxmustnxtbenamed [T, 9k]
Travel complications leave Draco stranded in a small town in Scotland. Having to make last minute arrangements, he stays in a B&B run by Harry. While his problems are being taken care of, Draco needs to adjust to life in a small cottage along with the infuriating, but oddly endearing, host.
The Curse Breaker's Apprentice for @smugrobotics [E, 61k]
The annoyance of Draco Malfoy looking like a cross between a catwalk model and a wet dream come to life had been a permanent irritant to Harry since fifth-year. No one deserved to look that good while being such a massive twat. Draco Malfoy is back. Back from France, back in Harry’s life and back to being a colossal thorn in his side. Wherever Harry goes, Malfoy is there; stealing his dream job, hijacking his friends and cockblocking him left, right and centre. It can't be coincidence: Draco Malfoy is most definitely Up To Something. You'd think things couldn't get any worse, but throw in an enchanted ring, a mysterious curse and a disgruntled ex-fiancée, and Harry's suddenly got a lot more trouble than he bargained for.
How to Court a Stubborn, Arrogant, Depressed Alpha for @maraudersaffair [E, 12k]
What’s a newly presented Omega to do when discovering Draco Malfoy as he’s being escorted to Azkaban for a seven-month sentence is his Alpha and Fated Mate? What’s the poor Omega to do when said Alpha rejects him because he feels he’s not worthy and would rather die? Courting him seems to be the best solution.

Never in England
30 days - 30 Draco Malfoy/ Harry Potter fics
Lightweight || Teen || 640 words || Trope: Drunken Confessions
Harry gets drunk and says some things out loud.
No Time Left || Teen || 1.2k || Trope: Down and Out Draco Malfoy
“Teddy made me promise to see if I can help.” Harry said. That made Malfoy stop in his tracks. He turned in place, his robes swishing around him. “Teddy?” “Yeah, Teddy. Theodore? Theodore Lupin? Remus Lupin and Nymphadora’s son, your cousin?” “I know who Teddy is.” Draco rolled his eyes. “Why would he be concerned about me? Isn’t he a child?”
Always You || Explicit || 1.4k || Trope: Secret Relationship
Not only a coward but also a weak, weak man. Who is he to ever claim Harry Potter, The Chosen One? Those nights that he had, they had to be enough because he would, could never have more– “Malfoy? Are you all right?”
Apples Stolen Under Moonlight || General || 359 words || Trope: Potion Master Draco Malfoy
“The tongue of a toad, the skin of a snake. A drop of blood willingly spent. Rose petals for love cherished half a life–” Draco stops reading and furrows his brows.
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter || Mature || 3.1k || Trope: Stardew Valley AU
Spring, Day 24, Year 1
“Absolutely not, Potter.” “Wh-what?” “We are not going to do,” Draco made a vague gesture between the two of them. “This. Ever.”
Favourite Healer || Mature || 1.5k || Trope: Paediatrician Harry
“Are you sure you know how to make this potion, Potter?” He asked, watching Harry messily cut basil leaves and threw them into the cauldron. “You know that Snape was my godfather, right? He was the best Potion Master in England.” Harry rolled his eyes which made Scorpius giggle.
Back Home || Teen || 783 words || Trope: Dragon Tamer Harry Potter
Some beasts brought with them the smell of ozone; for others the ground purred like a cat with each step. Some only flew with the worst storms, feeding on the speed of the wind. Some, like the one that was about to land soon, brought rain.
You, Darling || Explicit || 4.3k || Trope: Time Travel
“Hello,” says a voice to his right and Draco spins in his stool to be hit with a crisp smell of cologne, a few chest hairs – Draco’s hasn’t realised that the man’s shirt was open on his collarbone – and deep, green eyes.
The man with dark curly hair sits on the closest stool and puts down his glass with a chunk of ice and a deep, brown liquid. “Are you here alone?”
Coffee To Go || General || 3.1k || Trope: Coffee Shop AU
“Do you want to come in?” Malfoy asks. “Are you going to murder me?” “You already should be dead with the amount of coffee you and Granger drink.” Malfoy turns to disappear inside the shop and Harry has to power walk to catch the doors before they close.
Work || Mature || 1.2k || Trope: Unspeakable Draco Malfoy
“What–” Harry watches as Draco walks to his bed, carefully reads his patient’s chart while humming under his breath. “So. A burning building collapsed on you. Again.” “I don’t think you should be reading that.” Draco gives him a raised eyebrow and goes back to reading.
Deal with the Devil || Teen || 1k || Trope: Magizoologist Draco Malfoy
The day was too important for everything to go to shit, so of course it did. On the day the charity founder was supposed to come in and see all the hard work that Draco did; see the animals, thriving; the education center full of future magizoologists who just like Draco fell in love with the animals; the hard working employees that worked day – and sometimes even night.
And They Were Roomates! || General || 560 words || Trope: Roomates AU
Draco lives with Harry under the same roof and is nice to him.
Mean || General || 1.8k || Trope: Love Potions/Love Spells
“Then why do you say all those… things about me?” “Because,” Draco’s voice is gentle as he wouldn’t want to be anything else for Harry. “It’s what you want.” “I don’t want you to call me a numpty! An air headed fool! A four-eye idiot!” “Well, you do. That’s why you always come back.”
Trying Harder || Teen || 6.1k || Trope: Professors Drarry
The last time he saw the man—the boy—was at his hearing. Malfoy had looked like a man starved and beaten by life: lifeless eyes, hollow cheeks, robes in tatters. Harry had had to persuade the Wizengamot to give him leniency. And now, Malfoy was being chummy with the academic body—even drinking the same horrible coffee as everybody else!—the students seemingly liked him, and life seemed to just… go on. As if Draco Malfoy was not up to something. Which meant that he definitely was.
Harry comes to teach at Hogwarts. Draco is already there.
Only One Bed || General || 306 words || Trope: Only One Bed
basically what's on the tin
Tell The Wind I'm Home || Mature || 2.2k || Trope: Quidditch Players
HARRY POTTER TELL ALL: How Harry Potter, The Chosen One, Doesn’t Regret a Single Thing by Zacharias Smith (the fucking prat)
(Comments added by yours truly, Draco Malfoy, because you deserve to be taken down a peg, Potter)
In Sickness... || General || 549 words || Trope: Sick fic
Draco is sick and only Harry's touch can heal him
Sweet Torment || Teen || 500 words || Trope: Vampire Draco Malfoy
He wonders: how would he taste?
Draco is a vampire and Harry has no idea.
Lake || Teen || 991 words || Trope: sharing body head
The case has been going bad since the beginning.
A cursed house. A cursed lake.
Maybe, Someday || Teen || 1.1k || Trope: Drarry raising Teddy
The first time they saw each other was, unsurprisingly, a week after a funeral.
After Andromeda's funeral an unexpected guest shows up and Grimmauld
Snake || Mature || 819 words || Trope: The Hunger Games AU
The whole plaza is deathly silent and watches, gleefully, as Draco Malfoy walks up the stage.
One Step, Two Step || Teen || 1.2k || Trope: Mistletoe
Slowly, Draco turns away from the bed he was making, the reindeer horns still on his head, the little lights on them blinking to the rhythm of All I Want For Christmas Is You. In his garish red-green sweater with Santa Claus making a coffee pit-stop in the middle of the woods with reindeers munching on grass, and the horns, and the lights… he looks laughable, but Harry knows he can’t laugh. Draco would throw a pillow at him, and have a proper fit, and that’s not how Harry wants to end this night. How he would like to end it is, well, horizontal, on his bed, snogging Draco Malfoy senseless, but that’s at least thirty steps away; he’s still on step one: flirt with the man.
Away From Prying Eyes || Teen || 515 words || Trope: Forehead kiss
Potter’s attentive, and quite funny when he wants to, and really involved in the charity he and Granger have and… well. The fact that he’s handsome to the boot doesn’t help.
Draco and Harry escape to the cabin in the woods
Hook, Line and Sinker || Teen || 1.3k || Trope: Recluse Harry Potter
“Fucking Potter,” Draco mutters as he cast three Cleaning spells back to back to get rid of the resin, but the smell is still there as he follows the faint light of the want which should have lead Draco to Potter’s location.
Draco needs to find a recluse Potter.
Stay With Me || Teen || 943 words || Trope: Dragon Tamer Draco Malfoy
“It’s all your fault that he left, you know.” Draco says to the darkness of the crate. Its insides blow a puff of hair smelling of blood and gore and it tickles Draco’s hair. “He’s not gonna come and feed you and play with you and say things in his stupid Parseltongue because you fucked this up.” He turns in place, goes for two chickens, his heart aching.
A Plan To Get The Idiots Together || Teen || 729 words || Trope: Coworkers Drarry
“I,” Pansy says as she plops down next to Neville who gingerly takes his hands away from the glasses and stretches one arm over Pansy who leans into him immediately. “Fucking hate them.” The whole table groans in unison.
Pansy is so over the idiots crushing on each other, so the gang decides to Do Something About It
Acknowledgments || Teen || General || Trope: Epistolary
Acknowledgments: When I received the first owl about writing Harry Potter’s autobiography I thought it was a joke.
or
Draco Malfoy is a writer who just finished his latest books and this fic is the book's acknowledgments.
Durmstrang
“Let me take you home Harry.”
“Please.”
Happy December, everyone! Shaking things up this month here at the Drarry Rec Room.
Over on my main blog I posted about still wanting to do a December rec-a-day this year, which is something the HP Rec Fest always did (more detail about that in the post). In the post I shared a makeshift list with one theme/trope per day just for my own enjoyment, but invited anyone else interested to participate, too.
So instead of the normal order of business, in December rec round-ups will be posted here as often as possible (every few days, maybe?) with links to your rec posts.
If you're joining in the fun, use the tag #DecemberDrarryRecs and/or #DecemberHPRecs so that I can find and include them!

WIP Snip
I've been mostly writing for two fests, and otherwise feeling a little blocked creatively even for microfics. This is something I didn't quite let be a drabble, but isn't a full fic idea.
"Professor Emeritus Potter—"
"Just Harry will do, Tansy." It's unsettling about being in the presence of someone she's been studying for years. After all the research she’s read, the reality of his age sinks in. His face is deeply lined, and his hands shake slightly when he gestures for her to sit. She sinks into a plush armchair that smells faintly of crushed lavender. She doesn’t touch the steaming cup of tea he’s prepared for her.
She side-steps his absurd offer to address him by name. “I would like to interview you as part of my study.”
“Yes, I assumed. Why?” Tansy has the distinct feeling that she’s being teased, but as it took several dozen persistent letters (and one Howler) to get this meeting, she barrels forward. Despite her hands leaving sweat stains on the black satin dress robes she borrowed from her older sister.
When she meets his eyes, there's warm encouragement there, as if he's still teaching in a classroom.
"Many books about you omit the context of the Post-War period.”
One bushy white brow raises. “They do. Come now. Be more specific.”
“The recession. And the trials. And the policies?” It’s not a question but her voice squeaks out of nerves.
“Yes, of course, but that’s not all you’re interested in, is it?” The chiding is so gentle, and his amusement so genuine that it makes her brave enough to blurt it out.
“There’s also not much about your relationship with Grand Magister Malfoy.”
"Draco," he corrects. “I suppose you’re right. How’s your Sonorus?”
“Sorry?” She almost spills her untouched cup out of surprise.
“My husband has become a bit hard of hearing nowadays, but he won’t admit it. Stubborn. Always has been. Hermione spoke highly of you and your research. You should interview us both.”
Tagging @teledild0nix @boxboxlewis @wolfpants @tackytigerfic @mintawasalreadytaken. Thank you for tagging me in the last while and thinking of me.
a scribbly thingy
