[thedrarrylibrarian]

Hello, I hope you are having fun in the library today, I was wondering (and I'd be surprised and also unsurprised if it exists) if you have recommendations for detective buddies/solving a murder mystery together drarry, I'm thinking of comedy/fluff but could be open to something a little more melodramatic and sarcastic if it exists, I was watching a bbc show with my grandma called Shakespeare and Hathaway and it is living in my brain rent free currently

Hello! Your holds have arrived! This was a fun list to make! I'm so glad you asked, and I hope this hits your fancy!

Silly Case Fics

Plausible Deniability by Bearixt (10,500 words, rated T)

“Harry, being released to you is simply an opportunity that arose from this—one that I will grab while I can. You call the shots; I just give my expert advice. You want to catch this copycat, don’t you?”

“One Draco Malfoy in this world is already enough,” Harry mutters. Staring straight at him, he crosses his arms. “That’s it? No tricks, no hidden agendas?”

Draco raises his hands. “You’re right. Christmas and New Year were boring, and I can’t imagine celebrating my birthday here when I can be out partying.”

“I won’t let you out just so you can have fun, Malfoy. You’re a criminal.”

Operation Dragon's Shenanigans by @nv-md (14,030 words, rated E)

Harry's in love with Draco, but it's complicated. Even more complicated than 'I'm in love with my ex-archnemesis and I get dizzy every time I see him smile'.

No matter that Harry's an Auror, and always loved a good mystery, he's still having trouble figuring Draco out. And he's the only one who can see that Draco isn't a regular human.

So, as he's done every year since he was eleven, Harry sets out to solve the mystery of 'Why is This Shit Happening to Me?'

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Yogurt by @manixzen (24,505 words, rated E)

Newly-hired Flying Professor Harry Potter is happy to return to Hogwarts for a fresh start after several failed careers, but nothing is going as planned. His classes are a mess, he has to find a way to work with Draco Malfoy (annoying git extraordinaire) and now, in an act of villainy and depravity, someone keeps stealing his yoghurt.

Clouds That Veil the Midnight Moon by @drarrytrash (36,733 words, rated E)

According to Harry’s personal narrative regarding the incident, he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy for purely self-destructive reasons, or out of convenience, or by some unlucky accident. Looking at him, sprawled in the moonlight, Harry is devastated to recall that he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy because he’s hot.

Draco is a secret werewolf and Harry is doing his best and they've got criminals to catch, darn it.

The Liars Department by @dorthyanndrarry (103,395 words, rated T)

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.

What We Pretend We Can't See by @gyzym (131,086 words, rated M)

Seven years out from the war, Harry learns the hard truth of old history: it’s never quite as far behind you as you thought.

[milfdraco]

Rotten Apples, 11/11

“Come here,” Harry murmured as the door fell shut behind them. He drew Draco close, brushing his fingertips up and down Draco’s covered arms. They both shivered at the contact. “What shall our first act as newlyweds be?”

“I have a pretty good idea.”

“Oh?”

“But I’m afraid I really don’t know how to go about it,” Draco said, grinning, “so you’ll have to show me, Mr Potter.”

ALSO rec me some long drarry fic I NEED SOMETHING NEW TO READ 🥹🥹🥹

[wolfpants]

some fics I have been enjoying recently - wolf's reading list: june favourites 📚

As June draws to a close, I'm thrilled to say that both my reading and writing have picked up significantly after nearly a year of poor focus and general scatterbrained chaos. Hurrah! It's been a joy to ease back into the fandom, especially with so many wonderful fics to explore. Here are some I've devoured over the past month or so!

9 to 5 📆

E, HP, Drarry, 2.5k | @oknowkiss

Draco Malfoy hates Mondays.

“The Ministry will be breached. You’ll be caught in the crossfire.” Potter smiles crookedly. “Wrong place, wrong time. Funnily enough.” Draco swallows. “Hilarious.” “I’m keeping you here. For now.” Potter says. “Alive.”

-

Crush 🌶️

E, HP, Drarry, 8.2k | @citrusses

Harry Potter has a secret admirer. Harry's pretty sure that if this person figures out what an idiot he's capable of making of himself, they'll lose interest. So he turns to Draco Malfoy, reformed nemesis and stylish lawyer, for guidance.

“Malfoy,” Harry says. “Kiss me.” Malfoy winces. “Stop calling me that.” “Oh,” Harry says. “Sorry. Kiss me… Daddy?” “You absolute, clinically hopeless, fucking moron.”

Find New Ways 🫧

M, HP, Drarry, 3.6k | @skeptiquewrites

First comes marriage.

"We're married.” Draco trailed fingertips in the water, watching the little eddies in their wake. Harry's fingers curved around his ribcage. “We are.” The feeling in Draco's chest was too weighty for words, but he tried. “You’ll make a good husband.” The question of whether Draco would was outstanding.

-

Know Your Enemy 🗡️

E, HOTD, Daemon/Aemond, 2.4k | memequeen1127

Daemon follows Aemond after he storms out of the feast.

It is quite enjoyable, Aemond showing how unaffected he is by his nephew’s attempts to hurt him. He feels a thrill from emulating his uncle’s easy power. It’s the best outlet for his desire he’s found today. If Aemond can’t fuck him, then at least he can be him.

-

like some small animal that only comes out at night 🚾

E, HP, Drarry, 943 | @maesterchill

Unspeakable Malfoy and Auror Potter hook up in the bathroom at a Ministry charity event.

“Meet me in the gents,” Potter instructs, his whisper barely audible over the bustle around us, but so authoritative and unambiguous that it’s all I can do not break into a run.

-

Twenty-Two Cards 🃏

(Series) E, HP, Drarry, 108k | peu_a_peu

Aurors Potter and Malfoy crack the case. (plus more!)

"Only one bed," Harry observed. "Guess you're on the floor, then," Malfoy said, throwing his cloak on it. "You're not even going to offer to share?" "Fuck off," Malfoy said, and then proceeded to use all the hot water for his shower. Harry resigned himself.

-

your braids like a pattern 🌳

E, HP, Drarry, 31.1k | @hoko-onchi-writes

Harry runs a camp. Malfoy is the new counsellor, and he's driving Harry to the brink of insanity.

“Why do you keep bothering me? Coming back and talking to me? I’ve been nothing but an arsehole to you. And you—you keep coming back.” Harry doesn’t mention that Malfoy is eye-fucking him on a regular basis because he doesn’t need to open that Pandora’s box. Not right now. “Oh, you are an arsehole. But I’m mercilessly fucked up, and I find it so endearing.”

-

That's all folks! I'll try and make this a regular thing at the end of every month. What should I read next? Recs always welcome! 💖

[redeemed-wookie]

I return to this fic every year — and I have for 20 years, which probably tells you everything you need to know about. It’s one of those stories that just stays with you.

There’s also a short prequel which is absolutely a must-read beforehand.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by November Snowflake

When the long-missing Draco Malfoy turns up at a Ministry field hospital with amnesia, bitter Auror Harry Potter must confront the shadows of their shared past to shed light on a potentially deadly mystery.

i want to tattoo Running On Air into the creases of my brain and bear hug everyone who suggested it to me

[tripably]

Smut rec

Looking for something SO HOT your brain ceases to function and your ability to, idk, BREATHE let alone DO STUFF is incapacitated?

But you like pretending to be able to do stuff while enjoying fic?

@its-the-allure to your rescue, with:

[Podfic] Gagging for it by TheMightyFlynn

Fandom: HP Ship: Drarry Rating: Explicit Warnings: None Podfic lenght: 0-10 minutes Summary: It's been a while since they have seen each other. That only makes it better.

This one is 6 minutes and 13 seconds of pure brainbreaking ENJOYMENT that left me GASPING FOR AIR. Allure voices dirty talk like she was made for it, and we are SO LUCKY to be on the receiving end of it

uh I mean

Well no actually YES THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN ! We're incredibly fortunate that Allure has found her voice and is using it for our enjoyment !!!

Thank you, my friend, for sharing your craft with us<3

Day 11: an underrated fic

📚 He Needs You by @elsirin /MoonflowerMorningGlory on AO3

Draco/Harry, wordcount 5.6k, cat G

Summary:

There was a ritual. Draco Malfoy would like to ignore the results. Narcissa Malfoy knows better. Harry Potter knows nothing at all, he has no clue what is happening, except he has a meeting to get to and he's too tired for this madness. Short little one shot set in the summer just after the war, before eighth year, while Harry is interning at the Ministry.

AKA the one with Veela Draco and ADHD Harry 🤍

Firstly, I am such a sucker for the whole premise of Draco needing to take care of someone and Harry rather desperately needing someone to take care of him *melting* So the mix of Veela Draco with all the protective instincts and ADHD Harry who is a bit of a distaster is just delicious. Hurt/comfort at its finest <3

Secondly, I love the portrayal of Harry in this story so so much. ADHD is for some reason often belittled as just this thing that makes you unable to sit still in meetings and do a lot of sports. While it really is so much more! So yeah, I loved how the author has touched upon many aspects of it in the fic.

This really is just on another level how validating it feels to read about neurodivergent characters. Keep 'em coming folks! <3 Now, I need more kudos on this beautiful h/c story - go check it out to have your heart melted on this fine Saturday evening 🤍

Thank you for yet amazing prompt @hprecfest. See you in the next one!

Now onto the quotes!

And Harry was embarrassed to admit just how much harder it all was without them. Without the routine. There was nothing to stop him working past 7pm. He struggled to get to sleep and then struggled to stay asleep and then struggled to wake up.

Yep, transitions are a bitch and a half xd

Late. Late. He was so late. He needed to focus.

Somehow being late and super anxious about it just keeps bloody happening to us xd

He leaned against the wall and tried to breathe through the pain. This was silly. He had a meeting to get to.

Buahaha, I love this so much - bleeding, in pain and hurting? I'll be fine, I have a meeting! Can’t be late AGAIN. Oh how familiar that is xd

“Harry!” Both Narcissa and Malfoy had shouted out at his clumsiness

Oh Harry :(

He was ok. He was fine. No big deal. But why did everything always have to hurt?

Welcome to neurodivergent life! We have cookies. We just don't remember where we put them xd

“Potter, are you serious?” Draco scoffed. “You want to go home. You're allowed to go home if you're having a bad day.” Potter blinked.

Oh how I wish someone would say that to me sooner than in my late twenties on the verge of a burnout xd

“Order some takeaway. Run yourself a bubble bath. Read your favourite book. Rest. Sleep.” Harry was staring at him as though he were speaking a foreign language.

It's so sad Harry didn’t even think of this as an option! Good thing Draco got him covered :) Also yes, this is in fact the best way to fend off a bad day. Also a pet nearby would be great :D
