Summary: Harry and Draco seem quite wound up after their latest game of Quidditch. A remix of Opposites by kjp_013.
Warning(s): initial dub-con, PWP, Parselsmut


This is such a delicious story, it's ridiculous. It's a remix of Opposites by kjp_013, which is lovely and sweet and you should definitely read it. This fic is their first time, how they got together, and good God, it's smoking hot.

It's got a hint of dub-con, and really, it's barely a hint, Draco is more than willing, he might have started the whole thing, actually, it's got dirty talking (yum!), Parsel!smut (let me tell you, never been hotter), hung!Harry (my favourite) and yummy gorgeous smut. It's hot, OKAY? Read it!

Summary: Draco remembers his life with Harry, until he forgets.// When Draco loses his memory, Harry struggles to recognise the man he loves. As they get to know each other again, can Harry overcome his sense of loss? And will Draco ever remember that he loves Harry?
Warning(s): Memory loss


Two stories in one rec because these are perfect to be read together. One "A Few Brief Moments", it's a remix, a prequel of omi_ohmy's amazing story Sleeping Dragon, which is gorgeous and sweet and painful, as Draco has lost all his memories of his and Harry's life together. This is the journey they made, as strangers until they become lovers once more. It's beautiful.

This remix shows you that life, how it all began, how they nourished what they had, building this amazing life for themselves, the slight problems they had on the way, and ultimately what happened just before Draco lost his memories.

These two are amazing, beautiful and sweet, and you should definitely read them together.

Summary: Living with Draco was difficult; living without him is unbearable. But if there’s one thing Harry learned from the war, it’s that even when one life ends, the rest of the world goes right on living.
Warning(s): Major Character Death


This story is heart-breaking beautiful. It's without doubt one of the best Character Death story I've ever read.

The author wrote perfectly the devastating pain that is to lose the most important person in your life, and I have no words to describe how beautiful and painful it is this journey, seeing their relationship begin, bloom and end in this tragic way, everything Harry went through until he's trying for the first time to find solace after his loss. It's amazing and painful and beautiful.

Summary: Love (n) An intense feeling of deep affection. Yield (v) To give up or surrender (oneself).
Warning(s): Dark themes. Depression. Dub-con due to intoxication. Amortentia.


This is such a wicked story. It's got a very numb-after-the-war Harry, who can still remember what it was like to feel, and a very broken Draco, hungry for love, for something.

There's also willing use of Amortentia and that ending, man, is going to make you shiver. But it's also going to make you feel and think for both Harry and Draco, how sad it is for them when they reached the point when they need to do that, and also make you wonder if there's more than that. It's amazing.
