2025.10 ~ Top 10 longest fics posted on AO3
1. The Master of Death by @sermonoforpheus [M, 229k]
No one survives the killing curse, and no one gets a soulmark. Harry Potter does both. Alternatively, everyone wants a soulmate, and everyone is a little bit of a hero, in the end. Except Draco Malfoy.
2. Of Taming Dragons and Charming Cupboards by @dragonsandcupboards [E, 162k]
No one would’ve guessed that, fifteen years after the war, Harry Potter would be such a mess. Freshly divorced, estranged from his ex-wife and only daughter, he’s fighting demons he no longer tries to name. So when Draco bloody Malfoy appears at the Magical theatre and then vanishes without acknowledging him—Harry makes a mistake. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s the first thing he’s done right in years.
3. Harry Potter and the Shattered Soul by @elleanna-b [E, 143k]
The summer after Sirius dies, Harry’s nightmares start revealing pieces of Voldemort’s memories. On his 16th birthday Sirius’ last gift, a Dark magic book written by Regulus, makes Harry spiral into an obsessive magic training. He discovers that the Dark comes naturally to him, as well as what an Horcrucx is. Beginning to comprehend things about himself that he couldn’t phantom before, Harry takes a radical decision that questions everything he is. And on the first of September, Harry comes back to Hogwarts with a deep dark secret, only shared by his nemesis, Draco Malfoy.
4. Hair of the Dog by @fluxherbaria [E, 127k]
the boys opt out of their Auror partnership in favour of the much more interesting project of hating, saving, fucking each other – some combination of the three.
5. Alphabet Soup by @phoenixortheflame [E, 95k]
Harry Potter, investigative reporter for the Daily Prophet, leads a perfectly adequate life. When he’s not trawling back-alleys for a juicy story, he’s playing tea party with his favourite niece or eating curry with his former house-elf. Draco Malfoy, renowned chef in muggle Paris, was perfectly content living a life of obscurity. But when his mother’s health begins to fail, he must return to wizarding London and face his past. When Harry gets an odd assignment to interview the enigmatic chef of the new muggle-wizard restaurant Le Cerf, he’s reunited with his childhood bully - and is reminded just how much a person can change in ten years. Hijinks, mystery, and food-related dirty talk ensue when Harry receives an anonymous tip of a blackmarket dragon trade and enlists Draco to be his concierge into the shady underworld of the wizarding elite.
6. The Underground Maze Club by adiodous [M, 74k]
There are two types of people in this world, those who build the Maze and those who've learned to leave well enough alone. Harry is going to get to the end of this one even if it kills him.
7. Dirty Little Secret by Toffeemond [E, 48k]
[...] « I'm pretty sure we decided to put a stop to… whatever this is, » Draco gestured between them. « No, you decided all on your own, » Harry slowly walked up to him, his smile intact but a dangerous glint shining in his bright green eyes. « I never agreed to anything. »
8. I'll Be Back When It'sDaylight by @unsightlypearl [E, 42k]
Five years ago, Draco Malfoy committed a crime – and vanished without a trace. Now, Harry works with Luna at her sanctuary for magical creatures, where one of the habitats has begun to wither. Harry follows the trail to a cave held together by magic. What he finds inside isn’t just the source of the decay – it’s a piece of his past he’s spent years trying, and failing, to forget.
9. I Open at the Close by thisisforyou [E, 40k]
After yet another trashy "unauthorised biography" is released, Harry decides to reclaim his story by writing his own version: the actual, unfiltered truth, to stop all the speculation and endless questions and finally set the record straight. Or at least officially Not Straight. Maybe there are a few truths he would have filtered a little more, if he’d known Draco Malfoy would be assigned to edit the book. Maybe there are a few truths he hasn’t quite worked out yet, that Draco Malfoy's patented blend of snarky criticism and thinly-veiled challenges might just be exactly what he needs to help him with.
10. A Most Generous Benefactor by @hoko-onchi-writes [E, 40k]
Draco has several important reasons for auctioning off his virginity. So when Potter shows up to ‘rescue him,’ he’s rather put out. Now he must endure months of Potter’s fumblings until returning to the Auction hall to make a real marriage match. However will Draco and his abundant skills in the Tender Mysteries be expected to cope with Potter’s awkward attentions… or his strong thighs, surprisingly thick cock, his increasingly confident hands… and his knowledge of the Gentleman’s Bud? Oh, fuck.
