Summary: Draco is introduced to Harry’s love of fruit flavoured Muggle concoctions in a tale that Mills & Boon would be reluctant to tell. A little bit of humour, a little bit of flangst, and far too much snarky Draco.


In which Harry spends much of the time drunk and groping Draco, and Draco wanting Harry until he gets scared and leaves. Until that Christmas.

Summary: Damn everything to hell, he was in this mess because he hadn't been truthful about things, and even if it made things worse, he was going to be truthful from now on.


This is a story of misunderstandings. Draco doesn't think Harry was ever truly interested in him. Harry thinks Draco never really liked him, and they go their ways thinking that, until this one day when Harry needs help and Draco is the only one who comes through. And more misunderstandings happen. But it's so, so sweet! It'll make you go Aww and put a smile on your face.

Summary: Someone at the Ministry has it in for former Death Eaters. Draco Malfoy launches his political career as a rebel. Harry thinks it’s all a laugh.


I always think of this Draco as "Draco The Anarchist", at least I do so in my head. And it's just that this is such an interesting development in Draco's character. The thing is, Draco is convinced bad things are going to happen, that bad things are already happening, and he's trying to fight the system, but nobody is paying attention, until Harry pays attention to him, and not only because of Draco's cause.

Draco here is very inventive in his rebellion, and it's driving Harry crazy, because, you see, Harry's life was sort of numb, until Draco came back to it.

It's very funny and intelligent.

Summary: Being wizarding Britain’s most famous Auror isn’t all about defeating Dark Lords and saving the world. Sometimes it’s about low-priority stakeouts, rediscovering old acquaintances, and learning things about yourself you might be better off not knowing.


This fic is set between the end of the War and the Epilogue.

Harry's in the middle of an investigation and suddenly Draco—Malfoy, rather, he's definitely Malfoy on this fic, becomes involved.

This story is sexy and dirty in the best of ways. It has a very strong plot (aside all the UST and the sex, which is just, guh), with a Draco who is a bit of a bastard, okay, a lot, and Harry who has a very strong characterization.

Bear in mind that was written with the Epilogue in mind (the author has said), and so the end is ambiguous. But really, even though she wrote It with it in mind, it can go either way. I know what way it went on my head. ^^

Summary: 'The Last Band' of Death Eaters is a threat to all those families who reconciled with the Ministry after the fall of Voldemort, most especially the Malfoy family. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy discover that they are in the same Auror Training Class.


Harry and Draco are both in Auror Training, and, inevitably they are paired together, but it's because they'd work well together, have this thing going on, not a bond, it's a connection about their Lives Depts.

One of their firsts assignments are get to know each other, get along as partners. Like this Harry discovers Draco's vulnerable side. All of this while there are attacks towards Death Eaters, and of course, that brings Harry's protective side.

I love that their characters are well developed. Also, I really liked that after they get together (and god, that was so lovely) the story continues, the Plot keeps moving to a surprising end.

Very fun to read.

Summary: Draco Malfoy is waiting for his real life to begin, and it appears that he’s not the only one. Coffee, charity, and the wisdom of the elderly.


This story is going to fly by when you read it, if you haven't. And really, haven't you? O__o

I love the progression of this story, because it doesn't feel like such a long story. I'm always shocked to realise it's 40K because it's so fun and easy to read.

I love Harry's paranoia, that leads him to be a recluse in his own home, and Draco, who is the only one who gets a reaction out of him. And I love this Draco, who's been reacting to Harry since the beginning.

I love the little details, too, the coffee, the duck gloves, the inside jokes, Janice. Yeah, I love everything about this fic.

Summary: Harry’s career as a Seeker is on the line because of an injury.


This is a very cute story with a blind Draco living in Italy who doesn't know he's treating a Quidditch injured Harry.

It sort of reminds me of this movie "At First Sight". Also, it's a tiny bit AU because Snape lives.

Very lovely.

Summary: Later, the toast will be slightly overcooked, Draco will burn the eggs, and there will be another fist fight in-between the living room and the front door, but they’ll eat breakfast with second-hand plates and Draco’s great-grandmother’s silverware.


This is what Harry and Draco lives were after the war, the funerals and the trials.

It's very short, but very powerful and beautifully written.

Summary: It could have been a wonderful, enjoyable day when Harry took Teddy on a trip. Being saddled with not only one but actually two Malfoys, however, meant trouble. Serious trouble.


Oh, you're going to fall in love with Teddy on this one. Yes, it's Harry and Draco, but Teddy is so precious.

A day at a Muggle Zoo with Narcissa and Draco Malfoy is not Harry's idea of fun, but trust me, he enjoys himself plenty.

It's from Harry's POV, which is brilliant, because there's this incredible insight into Harry's feelings for Teddy and Lupin. It's just a paragraph, but it's one of the parts that stuck with me from this fic. And then the way Harry's thinking about Draco. It's really lovely.

I love the ending; a tiny bit from Narcissa's POV really funny.

Yeah. Love the whole thing.

Summary: As editor of the Quibbler, Luna sends her two best reporters to Scotland to find evidence of the legendary Loch Ness Monster.


You have to love Luna because she thinks it's a great idea to send Harry and Draco to the middle of a lake alone, and wait for a mystical Monster to show up.

Draco really is on a mission here, and it's not exactly finding Nessy either. Also, you see what she did with the title there? Yeah, that'll make sense when you read it.

Warning(s): Cross-dressing, character death (not Harry/Draco), Flangst Happy-clappy ending.


I like this story because it shows a very different Draco, scarred after an attack by Vigilantes, very submissive and insecure. It also has a very sexy Cross-dressing scene (Draco as Alice in Wonderland, yum!). I love Harry being this protective of him, I love that no matter how hard Draco tried to push him away, he never let him go.

Summary: Potter is watching you, as usual, his fingers tight around his glass. You know what will happen if you swallow that potion in such close proximity to Potter – the same thing that has happened every time you've done it so far.
Warning(s): Drug use, but with implied consent on both sides. If that is incongruous to you, you might want to avoid.


Love the unexpected twists (that in plurals!) on this story. And the nature of their guilty desire.

This story feels longer than it actually is, still, it makes me wish there was more of it and at the same time it ends in a perfect way.
