Summary: Draco has been taking his casual relationship with Harry for granted. Visits from four key ghosts the night before Christmas just might shake up his priorities in life.


This is a gorgeous story based on the Clasic A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and it's incredible.

In which Draco is visited by ghosts (and you know, in the Harry Potter world these are real ghosts) and they show him what he's life could be, what he risks to lose and what he could have, if only he lets go of his insecurities and fears, if only he lower the walls he's build around his heart and lets Harry in.

It's so sexy and touching and just beautiful, there are no words. Honestly. It's delicious in every sense.

Summary: Years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the Shrieking Shack is still keeping secrets. An Auror and an Unspeakable might be able to unravel one of its mysteries, if they don't hex each other first.


Freshly out of training, Auror Potter and Unspeakable Malfoy go in a personal mission; unravel the mystery of Severus Snape body's disappearance.

However, when encounter in the same path, they decide to join forces. But Harry starts to suspect Draco's reasons for finding Snape are a little more sentimental, and his reaction is not what he expected.

Basically Harry and Draco join efforts to find out what happened to Snape, since his body disappeared after the battle at Hogwarts, but half way through Harry starts thinking Draco has, or had, feelings for Snape. He's not happy about this revelation.

This is a lot of fun to read; The mystery unravelling bit by bit, Harry's so adorable in here, bickering with Draco, and then… yeah. Lovely.

Summary: There were much better places that Draco could have hoped to be with Harry Potter. Locked in a cellar was not one of them. And yet, by the end of the night, it was.


This story is so very sexy. Harry and Draco locked in a cellar by one Pansy who has very good reasons for doing so:

Another plot by the nefarious Pansy Longbottom to prove that Draco and Harry were meant for each other. "Gods, the way you two fight it seems only fair you should get the great makeup sex afterwards!

I love that it has such a sense of urgency. I love it because Draco has constantly to remind himself of all the reasons why it wouldn't work with him and Harry, but none of these matter, do they? Not when comforted with that green, pleading gaze.

Summary: Draco Malfoy had stopped believing his wishes would be granted long ago. He could perhaps be forgiven for being startled, then, when one of them came true


This is such an interesting story, it has so many things that I love in a Hogwarts Era fic. Harry stalking watching closely for Draco, teenage angst, sexual orientation crises, sexual revelations and a very intriguing plot.

The thing is, in the "best interest" of Hogwarts, the board of governors decided to close the Slytherin House.

Of course there are consequences, but some of them are only noted by Harry at first, however, when Draco starts disappearing, quite literally, he knows something must be done.

Long, plotty, sweet and hot all at once.

Summary: Drinking, sex, and a total misreading of the concept of fuck buddies.


This story is delightful from beginning to end.

Draco is a tailor, and has Harry wearing his clothes. They are friends and they decide to test the side benefits of friendship, only they are so much more than that.

The sex is brilliant because it's passionate and fun, and they are bantering through all of it. And then they have this "Talk", and I love it because, you know, not everything has to be dramatic, sometimes everything just falls into place with a few words.

I love it. All of it.

Summary: Draco is pining after Harry, but is so sure that his feelings aren’t reciprocated that he wastes a golden opportunity. Pansy comes to the rescue and takes matters into her own hands to ensure a happy ending.

Lots and lots of pining!Draco, wasted opportunities, confessions, morning woods, very interfering friends and a closet.

Sweet and hot, like coming out stories should be. ^^

Summary: The faceless men Draco Malfoy fights these days don’t offer redemption or salvation. They don’t offer answers or even friendship. Draco is tired of answers, and though he still has a few friends, most of them have lives of their own and can’t understand how Draco is still haunted by the ghost of someone he hasn’t seen in four years. And as for salvation, Draco gave up on that years ago. Because even the Saviour couldn’t be saved.


When I first read this story I was a bit wary of it because of the warnings (don't neglect to read those), but once I started I couldn't stop—it's that good. It's so very gripping and intense.

It has a very different Harry; he's lonely and kind of bitter, and he leaves Draco just as their friendship is about to take a turn, after they kissed. And the story about how Draco came to be at where he is right now is really interesting, and it works so well on this fic, as unusual as it is. I also love the flashbacks, how they actually start being friends, that's intense as it's the action happening at the present, but in a different way.

It's not what I call a 'light read', all fun and entertaining, but pretty incredible in its own way.

Summary: Watching Harry Potter die was a lot less dramatic than he’d imagined.


In spite of the summary, this is not a Character Death fic.

It's in fact, a creature fic. Harry!Veela. He was infected with Veela blood, and now he has certain attributes that makes him ~irresistible. Draco is his Healer and he's trying very hard not to be affected, and failing, discreetly. Not discreetly enough that Harry doesn't notice though.

I love Harry being all outraged at learning he was turned a Veela, and everybody's reaction to him, specially Draco's.

This is a lot of fun to read.

Summary: All those years Hermione had been telling him to study harder, Harry had never dreamt it could lead to this.


This is an 8th year fic. I really enjoy stories like this one, because it shows the progression of Harry and Draco from being no longer rivals, to a hesitating friendship, to maybe something else, and all that attraction making them shy and making everything so sweet.

Pansy and Ron are really cool on this fic, and amazingly enough, so it's Ginny. ^^

Summary: Something strange is going on with the Fountain of Magical Brethren, and Auror Harry is put in charge of finding out what.


This fic has such a cool plot; The Ministry fountain granting wishes, and while it's not a crime, it's certainly causing a stir that could become epic. Auror Harry Potter and Unspeakable Malfoy are on the case.

It melted my heart when Draco asked what would Harry wish for and he said he'd wished for… well, I'm not going to tell you so you can discover it, but it's very 'awww'. But then Harry makes a much more interesting wish. Will it come true?


Draco rocks this story! And so does the ending. This story is amazingly fun to read, and very sexy. Oh yes, definitely a favourite.

Summary: They are so violent in their silences, so vicious. They are careless in this, always meeting on practiced accident, stumbling into each other with rehearsed surprise and indifference, as if it isn't the priority of the evening to find one another and seek out all the dark parts that are mended to shadows and wrongness, to bruises and wounds, to scars and secrets.
Warning(s): Epilogue compliant. Infidelity, voyeurism, coercion, dubious consent, use of the Imperius Curse


Saying it's intense, doesn't begin to cover it. This story is chilling.

Written from Albus Severus' POV, this fic is going to leave you speechless.
