Lord Draco Malfoy may be a young man spending time in Dumbledore’s summer court, but that does not mean he needs to succumb to its licentious frivolity. He carries the burden of his lineage, the shadow of rumours, and the dignity of his betrothal to a good match. He is certainly not fool enough to be distracted by the dark curls and ready grin of the court’s stableboy, who seems to have taken up with every courtier who looks his way.

Harry doesn’t intentionally kidnap Draco Malfoy. Really it’s debatable if you can even call it kidnapping but the git surely seems to think so.

Harry is so excited for his first date with Draco. But what follows isn't so much a date as it is an all-night odyssey including a malevolent lift, a Gringotts heist, a Sleeping Curse, a trip to the kebab shop, a lack of dancing, a Muggle drug, a rooftop pool party, a black eye and, eventually, a sunrise over a Quidditch stadium.

Still Warm, Still Warm by @ghaniblue / acari
(Harry/Draco, General Audiences, 30min, written by tsauergrass)
The oranges ripened and grew heavy; the branches dipped under their weight. They picked some for breakfast every morning: Harry twisting the fruit off with a snap, Draco carefully tugging each one off.
Harry peeled an orange and handed a wedge to Draco.
Their fingers grazed, and Draco took it. The tender flesh; if he pressed just a little harder with his fingers, it would burst into a juicy mess.
Harry is up to something. Why else would he keep giving Draco presents?
amid this warm and steady sweetness by @roseszain / roseszain
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 2h, written by warmfoothills)
Harry is not living in a period drama, no matter what his friends or his new house or Malfoy’s sudden affinity for horse-riding might suggest, and if one more person uses the word courting, he’s going to start hexing people.

My Life as a Butterfly by @digthewriter / digthewriter
(Harry/Draco, General Audiences, Digital Art)
A second chance at first love.
the pirate and his gentleman by @babooshkart / babooshk_art
(Harry/Draco, General Audiences, Digital Art)
Life as the most feared pirate on the high seas has lost some of its luster for Harry Potter. He's done it all: found buried treasure, escaped the English navy, cut off toes. He's even added a couple of noses to Pansy's Nose Jar. But nonetheless Harry wants something more.
He just wasn't expecting to find it in the form of Draco Malfoy, Gentleman Pirate.
Lay Your Armour Down (The Seduction of a Pirate) by @getawayfox / getawayfox
(Pansy/Ginny, General Audiences, digital art)
Pansy will be the first to tell you that being an heiress is infinitely boring. She lives for thrill and intrigue, and right now her days lack both. So, when there’s whispers in town of a nearby pirate ship threatening their shores, Pansy’s interest piques. She bribes the mansion’s guards to let her slip out unnoticed, tricks the ship’s crew into thinking she was invited—and now she’s here, ready for adventure. She hoped to find new experiences, but did not expect a captain who would take her breath away.
Red Roses and Free Spirits by @upthehillart / upthehillart
(Ginny/Luna, General Audiences, digital art)
She's seen the Lady there before, an airy blur of elegant fabric and blond hair.
With roses in hand, maybe she'll see her again.

Good Boy by @lqtraintracks / lq_traintracks
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 15k)
This is a love story between a trans lad and his werewolf boyfriend. It’s about loving someone in their very furry entirety. It’s about being your true self and loving that self. It’s about getting absolutely railed.
Yours Truly by @skeptiquewrites / skeptique
(Harry/Draco, Mature, 15k)
Every single one of Harry’s exes has gone on to marry the next person they date, and with the upcoming nuptials of numbers six and seven to each other, Harry’s feeling exhausted by it all. It doesn’t really matter if he lets people assume Draco Malfoy is his boyfriend for a moment of peace. In any case, Draco’s been away for five years and there’s no way he would find out, right?
Heaven is a Pirate Ship by @vitaminpops / vitaminpops (Bellatrix/Hermione, Explicit, 34k)
Hermione's being shipped off into an unhappy marriage when the most incompetent pirate crew captures her. Featuring: one trigger-happy but sexy pirate, a dysfunctional father-son relationship, a general absence of morals, and the many uses of knives.
wasps and honey by @vocative / vocatives
(Hermione/Narcissa, Mature, 10k)
After ten years on parole in the Muggle world, newly widowed Narcissa Black is finally allowed to do magic again — as long as she can complete all the spells on the Ministry course list.
Her Ministry of Magic representative? Hermione Granger.
Your Majesty by @cluelesspigeons / Clueless_Pigeons (Harry/Draco, Explicit, 17k)
Draco's bored. Ever since he's become King, he hasn't done anything apart from being stuck in assemblies and meetings. He yearns for a life with adventure and excitement. So, when a group of pirates start raiding the villages of his Kingdom, Draco sees the perfect opportunity to escape his duties as a King for a little while. After all, there isn't much that could go wrong. Right?
The Sun in Summer (Presto Pizzicato) by @cannibalschism / Cannibalschism
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 90k)
Harry Potter is an orphan. Everyone knows this, him most of all. Taken in by the agoraphobic and ancient Dowager Viscountess Cassiopeia Black, Harry's musical aptitude was evident even from a young age. He has trained all his life to perform in front of a noble audience and step upon the shoulders of giants. To be known for his accomplishment and skill. To be great. And he will do anything to achieve that goal.
Draco Malfoy is an orphan. He hasn't been as such for very long, however. Known as the Instrumenteur, Draco runs a modest shoppe in lower Diagon Alley where he creates and repairs musical instruments. The Viscountess Cassiopeia Black stole everything from him the night of his parents' fatal accident. When Harry Potter, the orphan that wretched woman took in even as she cast out her own blood, proposes the most ludicrous of schemes that might just get Draco his stolen title and life back, who is he to decline?
In a time of galas, secrets, corsets, and symphonies, can love prevail over all else?
A Studious Romp by @articcat621 / articcat621
(Pansy/Hermione, Explicit, 1k)
Hermione and Pansy get assigned to work together on their next Chemistry project.
Romp and Circumstance by @wolfpants / wolfpants
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 35k)
Since the war, Harry Potter has gone from Saviour to Scoundrel—not that he’s complaining.
With a schedule full of gorgeous men, alcohol, and late nights, why would he want to change? Enter Draco Malfoy: beautiful, sharp, and completely untouchable. When Draco comes to Harry with a proposition to help him attract an engagement, Harry’s up for it—after all, how hard can it be not falling for his former nemesis?
Very hard, apparently.
coffee & communication: a (slow) romance by @softlystarstruck / softlystarstruck
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 10k)
Nearly a decade after the war, Draco has made a life for himself in Muggle London, writing romance novels and hanging out with his cat. But when he spills iced coffee all over a gorgeous man who turns out to be Harry Potter, has he tumbled into the start of his own romance without realizing it? And how difficult can it be to talk about desire, anyways? He writes smut for a living.
Surely it can't be that difficult.
dalliances past curfew by @fantasyborn / fantasyborn
(Irma Pince/Septima Vector, Explicit, 1,5k)
Irma is always the buttoned up, strict, rule follower. Only Septima gets to cut through those barriers.
The (Third) Worst Year by @the-francakes / thefrancakes
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 19k)
Draco Malfoy has one year to fall in True Love with Harry Potter or be turned into a Dragon. And he knows that is never gunna happen. This is going to be the worst year of his life.
Well, minus that whole having to kill Dumbledore or be killed by Voldemort thing.
Second worst year.
Oh, but there was his whole 7th year while Voldemort was using his house as a home base for Death Eaters and making him torture his fellow students. That one was pretty bad too.
Fine, this is the third worst year of his life.
The Greatest Game by @sleepstxtic / sleepstxtic
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 45k)
So what then makes The Greatest Game?
The Greatest Game is something more. The drama, the tension, the narrative that the other games lack. There is a story here. Two rivals with a history spanning years; the oldest, most illustrious prize to be won. Prime pickings for a plotline.
But wait, there’s more. Two lovers with a secret spanning seasons, a secret that is about to be discovered.
What I am trying to say is, The Greatest Game is greatest because it has the greatest story.
Nine dates and a wedding by @deliciousblizzardshark / deliciousblizzardshark
(Harry/Draco, Explicit, 11k)
“You need to get married,” Potter says. “I need someone to help me navigate all of this. It’s an insane idea…” He peeks out from behind his glasses. "...or is it?" "It is," Draco says.
