Harry x Draco fanfics

/SEMI-HIATUS/ A collection of the fic I like (even if I am sometimes critical). I also post fic featuring other pairings from HP and other fandoms: Remus/Sirius, Albus/Scorpio, Steve/Bucky, Merlin/Arthur, Erwin/Levi! Mostly NC-17 and pretty kinky, but no m-preg or extreme violence / pain. Enjoy! :D

Heal Thyself (HP, Harry/Draco)

Heal Thyself (46902 words) by astolat Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter Characters: Draco Malfoy, Narcissa Black Malfoy, Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood Additional Tags: Healer Draco Malfoy, St. Mungo’s, Medical School, Hospital, Medicine Series: Part 12 of Harry Potter works

Summary:

“Are you going for the course?” Lovegood asked. “You have the NEWTs.”

“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.

“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

So so so so good :’) I love Astolat’s work, the lore is always so thoughtful and clever. Love the puns, love the characterisation and careful plotting, and overall LOVE how she develops her ideas and thoughts across all her stories!! This has clear echoes of her other stories, and I really enjoyed seeing how similar and different they were; such a creative mind at work, playing with all these ideas - the effect of Dark magic on Wizarding homes (Slithering), Wizarding High Culture and traditions (House Proud; Reparatio; tbh all her stories including most recently The Compact) and Draco’s relationship with Dark magic and his family and history - in many ways, this story felt like a mirror image of her Scholomance series. Loved this!!!!

Hermione frowned. “The real question is why the magic of Britain would be failing now, in fact.” “That is not the real question!” Ron said loudly; he’d woken up fully by now, and Harry had too; it was starting to sink in that they’d found the problem. “The real question is, how do we fix it?”

omg, look, it’s a story! *parties like it’s 2019 or something*

Summary: 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.

This was so so so so so so good!!!!! Like top tier fanfic. Draco’s bought over 12 Grimmauld Place and converted it into a museum, and Harry’s an auror called to investigate a crime at that scene. The pacing and mystery were done pretty well, the writing too, Harry’s idiocy is a bit much but otherwise perfect. Really reminds me of quality fic from the past - think Maya’s DDG etc. Fave!

Summary: Malfoy's magic has run wild. But though wild magic is unpredictable and greatly feared, Harry's damned if he's going to let Malfoy rot in St Mungo's while they work out what to do with him.

Kind of an interesting take on a trope I hadn’t seen before.

[verydrarry]

Summary: Harry never expected to spend eighth year listening to Draco Malfoy wanking.

This was kinda cute. And 40k words long. Which I stupidly decided to begin reading past midnight.

Summary: porn

The summary made me laugh. It’s what it says on the tin lol. There is no plot. At all. Enjoy??? 

If you’re curious, lettered’s post explaining where this fic came from.

Summary: If Harry had to get called into work on his day off, at least he was able to get Malfoy called in too.

Harry is an auror, Draco is a cursebreaker, they are in an FWB relationship and tasked to work on a haunted house that traps them in dreams... Pretty fun read but the dream scenes were hard to understand; reminiscent of Inception and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but it’s a lot harder to get it across through text I think. 

[verydrarry]

Summary: "Come on, boys," Zabini drawled. "You’re only delaying the inevitable."

Trouble always had a way of finding Harry, and eighth year was obviously going to be no exception.

The summary says it all, I think - birdsofshore does a great piece again as always.

Summary: The Malfoys have always been owned by the Potters. Strange? Yes. But true, and coming true again. Harry finds himself with no alternative but to claim Draco for his very own slave. 

Hello hello!! Does anyone still read this?? I can’t believe I used to read fic....... for hours........ but I read this in 18 hours and slept for 5 hours even though I am now a Working Adult with Real Responsibilities...... Also I found out after reading the whole thing that it’s 12 chapters long and 420k words, so, caveat lector, I guess? 

Rereading fic as a grown human, I think super slowburn angsty denial fic where everyone is in love but refusing to say anything about it just rly satisfies an emotional need that is hard to come by in other forms of media. Lol. Also this is terribly smutty. Some parts fell flat and the writing isn’t amazing amazing - Harry and various other plot elements were really childish, it could have been shortened tremendously, the Draco at the start sounded kind of off, and Harry as Head Auror at the age of 21 was ?? - but I enjoyed the plot and thought the author captured the voices of the main characters really well.

Summary: Harry gets de-aged. Malfoy has to help him. I haven’t posted here in ages! Got really excited that Lettered was writing again, and devoured this in a single night against my better judgment (I have exams in a week!!!!). So, don’t make the same mistake I did. But this was really amazing - slow burn, rich characterisation, and tons of comfort (with canon itself providing alllll the hurt). Lettered is a super skilful writer and talented with the details and internal consistency and the sideplot mystery was also deftly handled. And it’s incredibly funny too. It was the best thing. Also, a few director’s cut bonsues: explicit, NSFW sorta-epilogue PWP here and Lettered’s asks about her headcanons and writing process here.

An exploration of the author’s existential angst regarding gender and sexuality ● disguised as fic

[ameeg-deactivated20190609]

no thats YOUR favourite drarry fic trope sjhkdsjdksj

[c-is-for-circinate]

…hey Harry Potter fans, we’re all in agreement that Dumbledore brought the Philosopher’s Stone to Hogwarts in Harry’s first year as a test to see whether Voldemort was paying attention and what sort of state he was in, now that Dumbledore’s chosen champion was old enough to hold a wand, right?

Like, Harry learns what magic is and it’s time to start moving towards the full and final destruction of Tom Riddle Junior, so Dumbledore has a chat with his long-time alchemy friend who’s been keeping this thing safe for literally six centuries straight, and ‘borrows’ the easiest source of immortality he can find as bait for a trap to lure Voldemort out into the open so Dumbledore can get the lay of the land to prep for the next seven years.  This is canon, right?

[finnhudsoninoz]

Yes, this is canon. In none of the other books is the climactic array of trials set up as a video-game dungeon perfectly tailored to the skillsets of three specific children. Hermione and Ron are drafted into this war quickly.

[lotstradamus]

Draco gets so much shit for trying to kill Dumbledore but honestly who wouldn’t

canon: character is seen eating curly fries in one (1) episode

every fic in existence: they’ve never eaten anything besides curly fries in their entire life. their entire world revolves around curly fries. they sleep in a nest of curly fries and took a carton of them to junior prom. there’s always a backup fry in their pocket in case they become hypofrycemic

[atherys]

this is actually incredibly sweet
