HDconsentfest Recs
So many great fics were posted for @hdconsentfest 2018 that I could hardly keep up - there were something like 50 fics in all!
It’s always hard to narrow it down, but here are some particular fics that stayed with me:
Orbit by @henrymercury ( E | 52K ) quote rec here
They don't like each other. They're not friends. There's not even a ceasefire of any sort because they're fighting as much as ever—but there's definitely something different about it. An added layer of self-awareness they don't dare identify, but which colours every Scared, Potter? and Do your worst; each You wouldn't dare and Then prove it.
It’s Been Draco For Awhile by @oceaxereturns ( E | 15.5K ) quote rec here
What harm can a love potion do if you're already in love? In which Harry finds out that it's not a love potion but it can do quite a lot of harm, and Draco finds out how fiendishly difficult it is to fend off his flatmate's advances when all he wants is to give in to them.
That's What You Get For Waking Up by @alpha-exodus ( E | 8K ) quote rec here
Draco wakes up in the morning hungover and with someone in his bed. He never could've dreamed it would be Harry Potter.
Cold Like Fire by @queenofthyme ( M | 12K ) quote rec here
Head Auror Harry Potter had no problem with mandatory consent training for his team. He’d actually been looking forward to it, that is, until he discovered who the teacher was. Now, he had no idea how he was going to get through the training without throwing a hex at Draco Malfoy. Or a punch.
Mixed Drinks and Crossed Wires by @korlaena ( E | 16.5K ) quote rec here
Draco is a handsy drunk. Harry is okay with it, really. They’re friends, so it doesn’t mean anything.
A Hag, a Hex, a Tale of Redemption by @aibidil ( E | 43K ) quote rec here
A fuck-or-die fairytale in which Draco Malfoy lives a despicable and unapologetic life — that is, until he's cursed to die unless he can fall in love with and fuck Harry Potter.
A Gift for Draco by @squadofcats ( E | 33.5K ) quote rec here
Though their new relationship is going well, both Harry and Draco have trouble communicating and are holding back from taking things to the next level--both emotionally and sexually. When Harry decides he is ready for more, he stumbles over how to start the conversation, but figures out a plan with the help of his friends. He comes up with the perfect Valentine's Day gift to show Draco trust, commitment, and desire: sexy pictures of his naked arse. Thankfully, Pansy Parkinson has a camera and is willing to help...
Purity Control by @frnklymrshnkly ( T | 28.5K ) quote rec here
In which Harry tries to ignore his trauma with fantasy Quidditch but Malfoy's Thereness™ is distracting and all his classmates want to talk about are unicorns, virginity, and Muggle music.
Come Inside by @vaguedisclaimer-ao3 ( E | 4.5K ) quote rec here
“Can I come inside you?" Harry asks, his voice a breathy whisper. And Draco nods, just once, ever so slightly, biting his plump bottom lip and looking deeply into Harry's eyes. At least, that’s how Harry imagined it going.
Treat Your Body Like A Temple by @rose-grangerweasleyisbae ( M | 1.7K ) quote rec here
It hadn't been easy, and it hadn't been fast, but after many years Harry had finally gained Draco's trust. Now he woke up next to him every day, and he knew just the way to show the Slytherin how grateful he was for that.
Arseholes by @postjentacular ( E | 1.4K )
In which words and actions don't mean the same thing.
