2021.05 ~ Top 10 longest fics posted on AO3
1. White Horses by JStevens [T, 296k]
►[…] After learning of the prophecy that will change his future, Harry returns to Hogwarts School for sixth year and finds that not everyone is who he thought they were. It seems that he is not. Definitely Draco Malfoy is not. As he tries to find a path to the end of his time at Hogwarts, he will have to grapple with questions of who to trust and who to love while navigating a world full of threats. This is a story of how we sometimes deceive ourselves and others, but hopefully find something true in the end.
2. He’s Owl That by Hydraeonusis [T, 264k]
►Whatever Draco thought his life would hold for him, it was not being stuck in a cage in the middle of Eeylop’s Owl bloody Emporium. Of course, Potter has to come along and save the day. Again. But with Potter’s magic on the fritz, Draco has to wonder who’s keeping an eye on the ‘Saviour’. Bah, the Ministry can’t do anything right.
3. To Be Like Geese by @writandromance [M, 211k]
►Harry thinks he should have expected some blood and screaming at any Hogwarts-sanctioned event, even almost a decade after leaving school, but the greater surprise is in witnessing Draco Malfoy come to the rescue. Draco thinks it’s just his rotten luck to have Harry Potter ask for his help. The rest is a love story.
4. the walls they’re closing in (with velvet curtains) by @sirkaywrites [T, 95k]
►When Draco makes a grave miscalculation, he finds himself in a sticky situation. To his great chagrin, Harry Potter might be the only one who can help. When Harry finds a persnickety, strangely intelligent cat outside of his flat, he can’t resist taking him in. He has no idea what he’s in for. Meanwhile, the Ministry is doing everything it can to undo everything Harry and his friends fought for. They might need help from unlikely places to protect Muggle Borns and hold their own against powerful Purebloods.
5. When You Turn Your Back by bread_stick_mama [M, 94k]
►Where Draco has to worry about a lot more than just his career as a Healer, because Harry is acting like nothing happens between them when they are alone. But that’s not all on Draco’s plate. A lot more is stored away in a treasure box that only a few people know about.
6. Veritas Vos Liberabit by @angela-addams [E, 82k]
►After the war Draco Malfoy finds himself at the crossroads. He tries not to become a scapegoat for the overzealous DMLE, fulfill his duties as a Malfoy heir and struggles with his potion addiction. And all this mess is because of Harry Potter, who cannot just let things be as they are, who wants to help and ends up stirring a doxies nest of problems. […]
7. I’m in Love With a Stripper by Kbrick [E, 79k]
►Harry’s life is a bit of a disaster across the board, but it’s particularly messy when it comes to love. Because Harry might have feelings for his best friend, and he definitely has feelings for his best friend’s brother, and he sometimes sleeps with his other friend, for whom he has no feelings whatsoever. Then things somehow manage to get even more complicated when Draco Malfoy twerks his way back into Harry’s life one night at a muggle strip club. Because as it turns out, Draco’s a stripper. And he’s gotten really, really fit. And his sugar daddy is a married club owner. What could possibly go wrong?
8. Blackbird by violenttulips [M, 69k]
►Fenrir Greyback gets his revenge. Harry Potter is bitten, and now feels like his life is over. Who better to snap him out of it and show him that life is still worth living than Draco Malfoy?
9. State of Mind by @pir8fancier [M, 66k]
►Draco Malfoy’s mother has died.
10. My Mind In Your Hand by @moss-on-a-log [E, 60k]
►Harry Potter has a serious boyfriend. Draco Malfoy is opening a centre to educate wizardkind about muggle life with Arthur Weasley. Life could not be stranger. Or, so he thinks. Thus begins the tale of Harry Potter’s incurable virginity.
