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.
