Malfoy sat with them again at dinner. Harry glared as much as possible to try to scare him away, but since Malfoy never actually made eye contact with Harry, this did not prove to be very effective. Eyeballs exhausted from their fruitless assault, Harry switched tactics and began to valiantly pretend Malfoy wasn’t there at all.

Harry swore. “You and Malfoy, you’re…?” “The heart wants what it wants, Harry,” Hermione said airily. Malfoy remained silent. “So you’re seriously already…” Harry suppressed a gag. “The two of you, you’re…a couple?” “That’s right.” “You, Hermione Granger, a Muggle-born teenage war hero, and…” “And Draco, yes.” “In a romantic way? You’re not just…I don’t know, study buddies?”

But are you sure you're not just study buddies...?

hi! although i think it’s great to hold a recs blog, i can only notice that you’re rating fics, which is very against fandom etiquette. would you consider changing this way of reccing by any chance?

hi, thanks for your ask! i have talked to you about it, then consulted some friends as well, and i've decided to delete ratings from my fic recs.

one of the things i've heard from a friend of a friend during my 'research' about fandom etiquette is that 'the more we act like fandom is a space for a bunch of nerds to play and the less we act like there is a group of creators and a separate group of customers the better', and i really like the idea of it.

instead of ratings, i will be adding a 🪶 emoji next to the titles that stole my heart, just to share what my absolute favourites are.

changing all my posts will take some time, so bear with me!

thanks to all who provided me with info :))

“Is there pudding?” This time it’s Potter with the wolfish smile. “Of course there is.” Draco takes another sip of his wine. “That sounds like a line.” “What, and you asking about pudding didn’t?” “Mine was semi-subtle.” Potter laughs, a deep throaty sound that vibrates through Draco’s body and makes his breath catch. There’s something so irresistible about Potter from his messy yet charming looks, to his powerful personality. “There’s nothing subtle about you, Malfoy.”

Strings Attached by daisymondays

Draco had been misled and whoever had said Potter was bad in bed should be given a good what for, because in truth Potter was absolutely prodigious, and Draco thought he may have even said so out loud. He was in far over his head, so badly unmoored by Potter’s sheer eroticism that he was forced to spew all manner of incriminating nonsense and assorted sweet nothings into Potter’s criminally luscious lips.

If Draco was obsessed then he would know Potter’s schedule well enough to not have to bother sitting here night after night waiting for him to show up.

He always have been the smartest out of them...

And then, one February night, the strangest thing happened. Draco walked Harry home. It was freezing, the kind of bitter cold that sank straight into your bones. Harry had no idea why Draco suggested it, but they wrapped tight in their coats, cast warming charms on each other, and set off. Five minutes in, Harry realised. It was so Draco could hold his hand. Draco’s left into Harry’s right. And Harry loved it.

It’s No Great Mystery by agentmoppet (E, 57k)

Summary : Who on earth decided that bringing back the Yule Ball for their eighth year would be a good idea? It feels like the worst day of Harry’s life, watching everyone get glammed up like the war never happened, like the last Triwizard Tournament wasn’t such a colossal failure. And then it happens again. And again. And again.

This fic has some very good angst. It's interesting to notice how Harry's perspective changes as the story goes on, I think it's very well executed. I also liked how Harry was working through his anger issues and other difficult feelings.

Euphoria by honeybeet (M, 35k)

Summary : On a cold December evening, Draco disappeared from Harry’s life without a trace, and Harry hasn’t seen him since. Six years later, Harry is at his wit’s end with a case involving a string of apparent murder-suicides. As a last resort, he is instructed to consult with the Department of Mysteries for potions knowledge to identify an unknown substance in the victim’s blood. But Mysteries is just that—mysterious—and he soon discovers that things are never exactly as they seem. In which Harry and Draco solve a mystery of several different kinds.

An amazing concept and a great execution. A bit further into the story I struggled to follow their way of thinking sometimes, if it comes to conflict resolution or solving the case, but it didn't bother me much as long as they were content lol.

🪶 Running on Air by eleventy7 (T, 75k)

Summary : Draco Malfoy has been missing for three years. Harry is assigned the cold case and finds himself slowly falling in love with the memories he collects.

One of absolute favs. I loved their dilemmas and how they were trying to solve them and figure themselves out.

🪶 Draco Malfoy: Toilet Supremo by who_la_hoop for birdsofshore (T, 26k)

Summary : It must be a vision brought on by eating cheese sarnies too close to bedtime, Harry thinks. There's no way that Draco Malfoy can really be standing on his doorstep, calling himself a Toilet Supremo, and expecting Harry to buy not only this unlikeliest of scenarios, but also a new loo. But no: Harry's eyes do not deceive him. Malfoy, Lord of Toilets, is really there. Which begs a very important question: what the hell is he up to, and what evil scheme is he about to unleash? Because there must be an evil scheme . . . mustn't there? Career Choices: Harry: gentleman of leisure; Draco: toilet salesman.

An amazing comedy from one iconic author to another.

The Romantic Prawn Who Loved Christmas by bixgirl1 (E, 39k)

Summary : When Draco, forced into sharing a room with Potter for the year, finds out that Potter has a sleepwalking problem, he expects the odd conversations and the weird games of chess. What comes as a complete shock are Potter's other activities...And why he seems so intent on having Draco join him. (Relax. It's just like a holiday Hallmark movie! ...With, uhm, sleepwanking.)

A very cool fic with sleepwalking trope.

🪶 Lessons in Grace and Decorum by GallaPlacidia (49k)

Summary : In Azkaban, Narcissa Malfoy gives Draco lessons in how to manipulate people into loving him. When Draco is released on the condition that he is bonded to Harry as his prisoner, he finally has a chance to put his newfound skills into practice. Forced bonding, eighth year (eventually), a Draco driven slightly mad by grief, a furious, self-destructive Harry, a whole lot of angst and a proportionate amount of comfort. Inspired by an excellent story called Unexpected Consequences by Lauren3210.

This was amazing, shocking, heartbreaking, touching, raw and fascinating. Just read it.

🪶 Possession by peachydreamxx (E, 65k)

Summary : As Harry grows tired of Draco's smug attitude, he finds a more effective way of both shutting him up, and bringing him to his knees.

I love how they talk through their dom/sub dynamic and gradually go into it, and how they talk through Draco's subdrop when it happens.

12 Days of What The Fuck by bixgirl1 (E, 26k)

Summary : When Potter starts paying unusual amounts of attention to Draco as the holidays draw nearer, Draco can't figure out where it's coming from—possibly because he's gone stupid from all the fantastic sex. But what happens when he finds out that there may be another motive behind Potter's sudden interest? Or: A fic in which Potter is hotter than Draco ever let himself admit, Draco didn't fill out that fucking form, and Pansy may or may not lose all of her hair.

Cute and funny, with a secret gift giving trope !

The Frisky Furnishings of Malfoy Manor by Writcraft (M, 19k)

Summary : The course of true love never did run smooth. Or: Hermione has a crafty plan, Harry and Draco are fake boyfriends and wizarding traditions have a lot to answer for. Featuring awkward dates, mince pies, a saucy sofa and a line of sequined house-elf haute couture nobody asked for but got anyway.

Cute ! Very creative magic theory.
