Summary: After breaking up with Blaise, a drunken Draco begs Harry Potter for help in winning him back. In a fit of misguided philanthropy (and maybe with one or two ulterior motives) Harry agrees. In the midst of the ensuing chaos, at least one person falls in love.


This is a story, a story of how Harry and Draco got together, told by Ron to all the children and grandchildren in his house at night.

And it's a wonderful story too, that start with Harry doing Draco the favour of helping him get back with Blaise, in theory. But of course things get over their head, and soon enough 'making Blaise jealous' is the last thing on their minds.

The writing is absolutely fantastic, the narration, the story it's telling is compelling and entertaining, and very touching at parts. What am I saying? It's going to make your eyes wet, actually. But it's worth it, this fic is amazing.

Summary: Harry's got a dirty mind. Draco helps him come to terms with it. But can either come to terms with the consequence of their encounters?


It all starts being about just sex, experimentation and tension and Intrusive Thoughts that come from being in closed quarters, this thing between Harry and Draco, but soon enough it becomes more than that. And it could have been so much more, if it weren't because Draco hears a conversation between Harry and someone else, and of course, takes it all in the wrong way. It takes a long time for them to find their way back to each other.

Angsty, fluffy, a lot of misunderstanding, and dirty sex. ^^

Summary: Harry is a virgin, Draco is a hooker, but when they get together they have nothing but fun sex fights—well, something like that.


You know how sometimes you read a Rentboy story and it turns out it wasn't really a rentboy? That's not like that, this is rentboy story all right. :D

And it's one of my favourites. Oh dear Lord, the mindfuckery! Harry is there, hiring Draco, and pretending he's Harry Potter. And it's delicious and sweet, too. I love this fic.

Summary: Draco tries to learn from the mistakes of the past.
Warning(s): Epilogue compliant


This is a very gentle story. It moves through several years, from Harry and Draco's first encounter to them growing closer as Scorpius and Al become friends, and they, too, become friends in turn, through the lost of wives and divorces, to discovering something even deeper than understanding and friendship.

It's very lovely.

Summary: See title; it's a bit more literal than it seems. PLEASE read the warnings! This is set in a post-DH AU wherein the death of Voldemort has not led to the stability and peace that everyone expected; Harry and an underground New Order are fighting to free the Wizarding World. Or something.
Warning(s): Mpreg

It took me a while to read this story, all because I couldn't get past the "But it's a deer!". And I was a fool, because this story is quite incredible.

Draco gives birth to a natural Animagi while Harry is away. And yeah, it's got a cracky premise, but the story is so very special and touching, and very possible in a magical world where so many things are. And it's like nothing you've read and nothing like you expect it to be. It's amazing, it's what it is.

Summary: Harry and Draco are best friends and flat mates. And Harry doesn't like Draco that way. He doesn't. He's not even jealous of Blaise Zabini. At all.


This is a story about Nots. Harry does not like Draco "that way", and Draco does not like Harry that way either. And Harry is not jealous of Blaise, and Draco is not jealous of Harry's friends.

They're not, they're not! Only, yeah, they are. :)

Summary: A retelling of the seven years in Hogwarts if things had been different for Harry. (Prompt #134: The Dursleys didn't hit Harry, or talk down to him, or criticize his parents. They didn't abuse him, lie to him, or anything of the like. In fact, they made sure he ate three meals a day, and was properly clothed. However, they never once spoke to him if they could help it, and they never ever touched him. Because of this, Harry developed severe Haphephobia. Thing is, Draco really, really, really, wants to touch Harry Potter. And he always gets what he wants.)
Warning(s): Magical AU


This story is exactly as the summary says. I like it so, because it's a slightly different Harry, with a very different relationship with Draco, as Harry story is different in this fic than the one we know. I also like that Draco is not exactly confronting about Harry's phobia, he does push him, but not hard, rather easing his way into Harry's acceptance, and it's wonderful that way.

Summary: During a month undercover in a Muggle school, Draco Malfoy has to deal with scheming children, peculiar staff and his increasingly fluffy feelings towards his Auror-in-training partner, Harry Potter.


Harry and Draco pretend to be Muggle teachers for an Auror training excercise. Harry is also pretending not to like Draco, and Draco is being unusually oblivious, and there's a little girl who is acting suspiciously

I just love the idea of Harry as Art Teacher and Draco as a Science teacher, of all things. ^^

Summary: A teasing mirror that came from Grimmauld Place and the emphasis on inter-house relations during his eighth year at Hogwarts change everything for Harry.


This is an 8th year fic, all about leaving the past behind, not forgetting, but learning from it. It's also about this magic mirror Harry finds, and who happens to have the other one? Draco. But what he sees it's what's really interesting, as interesting as Draco's reasons for doing what he does with the mirror.

Summary: Draco isn't pleased to discover he's a Veela at twenty four, especially since both he and Harry are married to other people. Harry proposes a compromise that might work, or might make things monumentally worse.


Long and plotty. Draco discovers he's a Veela, and that Harry is his mate, however they are both married, yet, he needs Harry's touch to survive, and Harry of course, can't let him die.

Month to month Harry and Draco arrangement to keep Draco alive becomes more complicated, and it has repercussions in both their lives, until, well, until the inevitable happens.

This Draco is incredible, he goes from manipulative to hopelessly devoted to Harry, and Harry, gods, he's fighting so hard, the pull Draco has over him. It's fascinating, the whole story, drama this fic carries.
