Summary: Auror Potter and Unspeakable Malfoy team up to investigate a series of missing persons, and it soon becomes apparent that Dementors are involved. Despite their initial misgivings, Harry and Draco find that they need each other's help, in more ways than one.


This is a lovely paced story.

It has Auror Harry Potter and Unspeakable Draco Malfoy working together on a people missing case involving Dementors.

I really liked the way their friendship develops here, paired up with a really interesting case, we get to see them working as a team, truly a team, respecting each other, leaving all their history behind and giving each other a chance to know one another. That transition to partners, to friends, to more, it's just lovely and they feel so natural, too.

Don't let the warnings scare you, most of them are only hinted through the story, rather than being what the story is about. ^^

Summary: When a Ministry time travel mission goes terribly wrong, Harry is sent to the future and Draco is sent to the past. Young Draco doesn’t know why, but he feels compelled to make choices he never thought possible before; unknowingly, he alters reality, the future, and his relationship with Harry Potter—forever?
Warning(s): time-travel


Oh my god, this story is going to suck you right in, it's AMAZING.

It's just so exciting; a simple time-jump to solve a series of deaths, is botched and now Harry and Draco are sort of trapped in a time loop, which keeps showing them different realities of what their lives, both together and apart would be like. It shows them what it could have been, but all the while you don't know if it's going to happen, so this virtually is going to keep you on the edge of your seat.

You're going to love some version, and your heart will clench with others, and there's some delicious, brilliant sex (and short semi-threesome), a touch of dirty talk, and so much feelings. It's incredible.

Summary: When the wizarding world is plagued by random outbreaks of Dark Magic, the Ministry assigns Curse-Breakers to assist Auror teams on their missions. Harry shouldn't be surprised when Draco Malfoy is assigned to his team, but is Malfoy a Curse-Breaker, or a curse-bringer?


Auror Harry Potter and Unspeakable Draco Malfoy team up to solve random bouts of Dark Magic, but this story is such a great fun to read, because it's perfectly balanced between the mission and Harry and Draco's personal interactions, which is one of the things I love the most in a fic.

It also tells the story of how Harry and Draco started this whole partnership, Harry's first refusal to even work with Draco first, to slowly getting to know him and falling for him, hard. But you see, it shows you through little scenes, bit of past missions and domestic scenes until they get to the point where they are now.

It's sweet and fun and sexy and wonderful all around.

Summary: Harry is a Seer, with a particular affinity for speaking to the dead, but this comes at a price he’s slowly killing himself to pay.
Warning(s): Drug Use, Addiction


This is such a great story. God. You see, Harry is a Seer, something about him dying and coming back allows him to speak to the dead, to have this empathy of sorts. And the only way he can deal with, well, everything, his life, his friend, his Sight, is being high on Potions and pills. But you see, it's so fantastically well written, it's like diving into Harry's mind and understanding everything he's going through. Sensing his friends' fear of him, his loneliness, the pain of feeling himself disconnected from others.

And then there's Draco, who is his contact, who grounds him and his magic while he's on a trance, who wants to help him, to be there for Harry, if only Harry lets him.

It's angsty, yes, but it's such a gorgeous story, about giving chances and allowing yourself to be helped and even loved, too. It's beautiful and hopeful, and lordy, it's got some of the most delicious sex I've read.

Magic is disappearing and the Wizarding community takes measures to preserve their way of life. The Goblet of Fire selects those few who will remain to guard what's left of the magical world. Harry and Draco are in the middle of this, and find comfort in each other.

It's incredibly touching and lovely. Hopeful, so very hopeful, and has the sweetest ending. A beautiful story.

Summary: Unspeakable Draco Malfoy has planned for nearly six months how to take down Thomas Linwood, a man who has discovered the secret of converting wizard bodies to pure magic. He was prepared for anything -- except the discovery of the missing Harry Potter in Linwood's compound.
Warning(s): Sometimes graphic violence, descriptions of magical torture, angst, deaths of original characters


I love stories like this, when the plot of the story moves along with the emotions of the characters. This story is like that.

Draco goes undercover in an Unspeakable mission, and finds Harry in chains, being drained of his magic.

I think what I loved the most about this fic is the intensity of Draco's feelings for Harry, the way he acknowledged that Harry, in many ways, has define Draco himself, and he realises there's nothing he wouldn't do to save him.

It's very intense; I loved the fierce streak of protectiveness and want Draco feels for Harry. And the mystery and theory behind converting a person into raw power is pretty brilliant, too. It's an amazing read.

Summary: It’s expensive being a Dark Lord. Nearly everything you do, or want to do, costs money. What better way to gather funds than to force donations? Voldemort kept accounts of his spending. Not quite patient enough for Goblins and gold and vaults, he instead used the Muggle alternative. It seemed to be all Muggles were good for, because it meant that Wizards, and the Ministry in particular, would not get their hands on it. Just in case, the Dark Lord destroyed all records of his accounting, using something that was better than a safe, better than books. Only, no one knows what it was and, after five years, the money’s become a myth. Now a secret sector of the Ministry is after it and only a member of their own can stop them.


I love quick-paced stories, and this fic is like that, which is perfect, because it's an adaptation of Safe, a thriller.

This story feels like it too. But it has some original twist to Draco's characterisation (like him having eidetic memory), yet he's still one sneaky little Slytherin to the core. And there's Harry, smitten and playing protector. It's a really cool and entertaining read. It's got action, romance and a lovely ending.

It's been a while since I laughed so much and so hard while reading a story, and it's just that Draco as an ugly, feathered veela is too precious for words.

Well, he thinks he's ugly, Harry certainly disagrees, but nevertheless, he's going to help Draco to get rid of the feathers. He's helped Draco out of "rough" spots in the past-- you'll see what I mean.

Seriously though, you'll think Aww, poor Draco, while laughing your head off at his predicament. This story is delightful from beginning to end.

This fic is awesome!

Harry and Draco are married, but they are living secret, professional lives, one Unspeakable and one Hit Wizard respectively. This secret, however, comes out into the open when one is assigned to protect a witness the other has to eliminate.

That's when things get really interesting. :D

It's fun, entertaining and sexy. This story is one of my favourites by this author. I know you'll enjoy it.

This is such a cool story. And it's going to surprise you.

Harry and Draco are living together, not as a couple; they are both Teddy's guardians, and they are trying to raise him together.

Trying is the key word here, because they are trying, but there's so much between them, so much lack of communication, animosity and history that even though they are trying to do the best for Teddy, it's very hard to the point it seems impossible they are going to be able to make it.

But it's not until after they realise that more than survive this situation they really have to become a family that things start looking like they are going to be all right.

It has so many wonderful, touching moments you're going to fall in love with this little family. It's lovely.

Summary: After an Auror mission gone wrong, Harry finds himself stranded on an island, where his only companions are a mute house-elf, a prickly owl, and an insufferable git. Roughly based on the story of Odysseus and Calypso from Homer's Odyssey.


After a mission Harry wakes up on an island, an island where only heroes go, and you can only leave by really wanting to leave. The thing is Harry doesn't to, since Draco, who disappeared seven years prior is there.

While Harry stays with Draco, he learns Draco can't leave the island either, he's bonded to it, and time doesn't pass for him. He's the same as he was seven years before. Draco can't leave, and Harry doesn't want to leave without him.

It's very original, and so lovely. Even though it's from Harry's POV, Draco's feelings leak through the story. Also, the bits with Ron and Hermione are also perfectly well done. A wonderful read indeed.

Not wanting the Ministry to discover that the Chosen One didn't really die eleven years before and take over his life, Draco takes him home to stay until they can figure out just what happened and how to send him back. What happens when falling in love becomes the biggest complication of all?


This is such a fluffy time-travel fic, it makes one go aww.

During Auror training Harry falls through the Veil, but he doesn't die, though everybody in his time think he does, he travels through time and falls into Draco's office, who is no longer an Auror but an Unspeakable. Together, with Hermione's help will try to find a way to return Harry to his own time. But they never imagined they would fall in love, or how difficult it would be when the time came for Harry to come back to his time.

It's sweet and sexy and I love this teenage Harry with a big crush on Draco, and in the meantime Draco is trying to not fall in love all over again with this Harry who he knows will have to let go. It's lovely.

I love a good conspiracy story and I love it more when Harry and Draco work together to unravel it. Auror Harry Potter and Unspeakable Draco Malfoy are to solve a case that claimed Ginny's life, along with several other Aurors trainees back when Harry was in the Auror Academy.

There's a bit of Harry/Ginny at the start, but their relationship so different from how, at least, I am used to read. They had a good thing, and it was hard for Harry to move on.

Harry never knew it was not an accident, and now that he's learned the truth about what happened all those years ago, well, his feelings are conflicted, and even more so adding Draco to the mix, specially as finds himself attracted to the other man.

This might be the sexiest, most intricate story I've read.

It feels like a character study, but it's a lot more than that too. There's so much action, the plot is moving constantly. And there is Harry, who is falling in love with the same person twice, that makes you think, "Harry, how can you not see?", because Draco is constantly giving himself, giving Harry everything he wants, only Harry doesn't know because in his mind he wants all that has with Draco, with Rabbit.

If you haven't read this story, I encourage you to do so, demand it, even, because this fic is unlike anything you've read before.
