Summary: Nova cupiditas—the curse that makes the victim desire someone they hate. There is no cure, and the consequences grow increasingly violent the more the desire is denied. And now someone has cursed Draco Malfoy to desire Harry Potter.
Warning(s): Attempted rape, issues of consent, self-mutilation


One of the many things that make this story so fantastic, is the slow way in which Draco loses his mind. It happens very quickly, as in manner of days, but it's slow, the progression from lust to need to, what it seems, love and worship of Harry from Draco.

There are times when Draco is sure the curse is not in action and he's truly in love with Harry. And Harry, it's not that he is confused and ready to believe Draco, he knows better, he knows it's the curse talking, making Draco say and do and feel those things, but at the same time it's so seducing and tempting to have someone who wants you with such intensity and devotion. So Harry, too, is constantly warring with himself, because he wants to help Draco, and at times it seems that giving in, even a little bit, will help, but then he remember it's only ever the curse, and it's maddening. And yes, Harry starts having feelings for Draco, which doesn't help the predicament they're into at all!

And then, even you, as a reader, start (sort of) doubting if Draco really loves Harry or it's just the spell. At times it's obvious it is the spell, but at times, you're sure it's the real thing.

The plot takes several twists and turns along the way (many of which are dark and violent) so it's a long journey until both Harry and Draco can be sure that what they're feeling is real.

Summary: Memories make us who we are. What happens when they disappear? A Remix of Snapshots .
Warning(s): Mpreg, but only in past tense.


This story is a Remix of Snapshots, which I've already recced Here.

Snapshots is lovely. It's about Draco waking up with no memories of the past several years and his life with Harry. Every day he learns he's been together with Harry and has a daughter, and it's beautiful and sweet, to watch him learning this facts of his life.

Well, Unbroken it's Harry's version of the same story. And the author, this brilliant author, made it so very moving, it's going to touch your heart. Because this is Harry living with a person who doesn't remember him, who in turn distrust him and even dislike him, and this is someone who Harry loves, adores, lives for, and so it's hard. But Harry bears it, out of love for Draco, for their daughter, hoping against hope that one day the Potion Snape has been working on will allow Draco to one day remember their life. It's beautiful.

Summary: Draco doesn't have to be drunk to sleep with Harry Potter, but it certainly helps.


Draco wakes up naked and obviously shagged next to Harry, but with no recollection as to how he got there or the shagging in question. Harry is no help, as he, apparently doesn't remember either. And Draco is not obsessing about those lost hours, not at all, and he doesn't want a re-acting either. Only he does, he absolutely does.

But there's something Harry isn't telling him! And I'm not going to tell you what it is, you'll discover it and love it yourself. ^^
