Summary: When Draco Malfoy is forced to go undercover among the remaining Death Eaters in the aftermath of the war, the last person he expects to find there is Harry Potter.

This story is so completely cool. Oh my god! Okay, so the story starts with us finding out that Harry and Draco are secretly undercover in a sort of Death Eater hideout, only, then we learn, at first neither knew the other was another spy. So they are ~fraternising with the enemy~ in theory, only they are not enemies, in appearance, both are bad guys. And it's amazing, because they bicker and banter and keep giving themselves away in little ways and they have sex and – I don't know if I'm making this fic sound confusing, it really isn't. It's incredible, infiltrated Harry and Draco, fighting the good fight and saving the day. It's SUPER! :D

Summary: Draco Malfoy was condemned to live a Muggle’s life for his three-year probation. His wand was locked away, and he was forbidden to set foot in Wizarding Britain until Hermione Granger secured a job for him in the Aurors’ stock room. Harry Potter, who worked three doors away as a junior Auror, frequently visited Draco to check out supplies, take Spanish lessons, and witness Draco’s resolute—if painful—adaptation to a non-magical life … while falling in love with the man who might be too fragile to love him back.

This story is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

The summary is already so lovely that you get a pretty good idea what the story is about. Draco works only three doors away from Harry in the supply office, and it's just, so full of feelings. So much gorgeous pining, but it's like, a gentle, melancholic sort of pining, you see. In which we get to see Harry and Draco through the other's eyes, and it's magical. Their interactions, all the things they aren't saying but are so clear, and finally the way in which Harry says them, I can't think of other words than beautiful and perfect.

Summary: In which Harry thinks he’s a playboy, everyone else knows better, and Hermione will kill Seamus if Ron tries to collect on that bet.

This fic is so awesome. There's a lot of smut, but you know, that's only one of the many awesome things about it.

The thing is, Harry is perfectly content with his life, but all around him his friends have someone, they are getting married, and they, Hermione in the lead, want to see him happy as well, so, they had this idea that for every wedding they'll set Harry up with someone, and will help Harry find true love. That there's a bet going on to see who sets him up best is by the by. :D

What they don't know is that Harry's been seeing Draco. It's a friends with benefit sort of arrangement, you see, nothing serious. But with each disastrous date Harry endures he realises maybe this thing with Draco isn't quite as simple.

So much smut! And pining, and gorgeous Draco, and friends first, and—well, it's wonderful. :)

The decision is, well, it's not that hard in away, and very hard in another if you get my drift. :D

Summary: A perfect match, a romance for the ages, with a one hundred percent success rate! Magic Match claims they can give Draco all of this. So why do they keep sending him on dates with Harry Potter?

Oh my god, this fic is so amazing, I kid you not!

We have Harry and Draco trying this matchmaking service and they are stuck with being set up with each other, over and over and over again even though Draco's doing everything in his power to avoid Harry. :D It's a Magical Matching system, which is the best thing ever, basically. :D

Anyway, so they go on dates and at first is super awkward (and brilliant!) but then all this tension makes itself known – and by 'tension' I mean all the UST!! Until it's undeniable.

Butt here's also all these gorgeous characterisation of both Harry and Draco; Draco is complex and amazing and drives Harry crazy, and Harry's charming and honest and so effing sexy, Draco can't resist him.

Awesome, fun and sexy and very moving, too. :)

Summary: The tent was a joke, that was basically the only explanation he could come up with as to why the Aurors would send he and Draco on a several-month mission with only their most basic model. Once, when Harry had been on one of the big ones, the kind of mission where there was a little Auror camp out in the wilderness, twenty or so tents all pitched practically on top of each other, he had slept in one with two stories. Actually it was more of a mezzanine level, but still. Their current one didn’t even have a fucking toilet. And if Harry were allowed to communicate with anyone other than Draco then he would definitely be lodging an official complaint right about now.


This fic is such a delight. As the summary says, Harry and Draco, Auror partners, are sent on a mission with the smallest of tents. But that's not a huge problem. Granted, it's a problem, along the lousy tent there's the lousy weather and the lousy mission, but that's all fine. The thing is, Harry has this huge crush on Draco, Draco who is absolutely wonderful and is a special friend, they are very good friends, but they are like, dude, they are special friends, okay? See:

Sometimes they went to Luna and Ginny’s place to play board games, sometimes they went over to lunch at Ron and Hermione’s, but mostly they went to the cinema, or to bookshops, or art galleries. It was nice, Harry thought, having a friend that he’d had to work for, and for that work to be rewarded with something so lovely.

It was what made the fact that he was probably a tiny bit in love with Draco Malfoy such a fucking inconvenience.


There's a bit of banter and this lovely slow-build. Really, this fic is wonderful. :)



This is going to be my last post for a few days. I'm travelling but coming back December. In the meantime, happy reading. :)

Summary: When Draco desperately insists on becoming a Centaur Liaison, he doesn’t know what he’s getting into, especially with that annoying hero-turned-hermit Harry Potter living right at the entrance to the Forbidden Forest. Not to mention foreign unicorn women, slavering three headed beasts, bitter brews, unexpected friendships, and the consequences of a very cocky vocabulary.

This is such a darling of a fic, truly.

The summary is pretty clear; Draco is about to be made redundant at the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, but the thing is, he really needs that job, so he ~grabs this position as a Centaur Liaison, which apparently nobody wants because Centaurs want nothing to do with wizards and basically it's a dead-end job. But he's determined! And after talking to McGonagall he gets the clear to be able to go into the Forbidden Forest, only he has to check in with the groundskeeper, which turns to be Harry, filling in while Hagrid is away.

God, Draco's voice here is a darling, and he has this way to talk – it's really, really funny. And at first Harry's suspicious of Draco but then he sees Draco means business as Draco tries pretty much everything to successfully liaison with the Centaurs.

Like I said, it's very funny and witty and sweet, too. Plenty of magical creatures abound! :)

Word Count: 15,000 Approx.
Summary: The Malfoy Manor lands are lush and verdant. Bees hover over carpets of flowers, and ducks paddle in the pond. It is a place far removed from bustling London and pesky reporters; it is a place where Harry finds what—and who—he didn’t know he was missing.

This is such a charming story. It's beekeeper!Honey-maker!Draco! And the story actually starts when Harry buys some honey (from Luna, Luna sells honey!), and he learns that this particularly delicious honey comes from Malfoy Manor. Naturally he goes there to investigate what's the deal, and fall in love with Calico, Draco's cat, which isn't a calico at all, it's just her name. ^^

He also falls in love with the beauty of the grounds and how peaceful it is there, and of course there's Draco, you know? ;) Their interactions are just so awesome, they bicker and flirt. And I have to quote this bit that I thought it was gold:

Harry smirked. “Then surprised you’ll be. Don’t have a heart attack, alright? You are older than me, after all.”

Malfoy frowned. “Only by a few months—how do you know that?”

“How do
you know that?”

They stared at each other. Harry cleared his throat; so did Malfoy.

Summary: When Draco accidentally bonds with a newly-hatched dragon, and a queen no less, his life will never be the same.
Content/Warning(s): Non Magical AU

This story has such a cool premise! It's a Dragonriders of Pern fusion, but let me tell you, you don't need to know anything about it to enjoy and love this fic. I didn't and I found it super original! :D

The story starts when Draco, while collecting ingredients for potions, stumbles upon a dragon's egg, a wild queen's egg. As he was carrying the egg to Hogsmeade so the egg could find her human bondmate, the egg starts hatching. Now, traditionally queen dragons only bond with women (drakes do so with the men), but Draco's dragon bonds with him right away. It causes quite a stir in the village, but they accept it and Draco's life changes.

He loves his queen dragon, but once his queen is ready to mate, well, things get just a little complicated. Draco thinks none of the dragonrides would allow their drakes to mate with Salzaria (that's how he names her!), but of course, Harry is the only rider that has the temerity to send his drake, Hedwig. And so, like their dragons, Harry and Draco mate.

It's really cool and even sweet, see the progression of their relationship. It's a bit distant and uncomfortable at the beginning, but they both try to make it work, and you can see they become really fond of each other with time. ;)

Only Ron comes to see the negotiations and with him he brings his newly-hired Master of the Horse, one Harry Potter, who absolutely captures Draco's attention. Though they fight and antagonise each other, they attraction can't be denied, especially when Harry sees how much Draco cares of hi beautiful stallion (not in that way, come on lol), and he loves seeing that softer side of Draco. Very enchanting indeed. :)

It's written from Harry's POV, and the way he loves seeing Draco, the real Draco, happy and carefree, it's just beautiful, as is the way they both feel about each other.

Of course it's not that simple, because there are many expectations over Draco, and they are both afraid to the end of the trip. I won't say more, just that it's truly lovely seeing them coming together. :)

Summary: Blaise was immune to whatever it was people usually felt around his mother, for which he was profoundly grateful, since no one needed an Oedipal complex on quite that spectacular a scale, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have a thorough respect for her gift.
Content/Warning(s): Canon Divergence (AU, post OotP)

Oh my god, this story is so, so good! It's written from Blaise's POV, and it starts at the end of OotP, when Blaise's mum realises Draco is special. He's an erosmancer, which means Draco is in great danger staying in Voldemort's side. What being an erosmancer means to Draco is, aside from the sexual power he'll have, he can store wizards and witches's powers, and then give it to someone else, ideally his bonded one, but it's obvious that Voldemort won't ask nicely, so his best bet is going to Dumbledore, which he does, and Mrs Zabini starts training him.

Like I said, ideally Draco should bond – and you know where this is going, right? XD

It's really cool! Not only there's some pretty nifty Erosmancy lore that we learn while Draco trains, Harry and Draco's reaction to each other, the way they resist (and fight!) is, well, explosive to say the least. Very intense and super interesting. Also, Blaise, you know? :D

Content/Warning(s): Mpreg, Memory loss

It goes without saying he's completely confused and overwhelmed.

But the thing is, little by little he start knowing them, his children, taking care of them seeing his life with Harry and falling in love – with all of them. It's not easy, they are complete strangers and it's so unlike the life he once knew and pictured for himself and the pregnancy, that it takes him some time. But let me tell you, seeing him trying, taking care of his family, seeing his feelings change and evolve is lovely. :)

Summary: Harry always thought he had a pretty satisfying array of sexual fantasies, until he stumbles upon the Mirror of Erised again and sees himself getting banged senseless by Draco Malfoy. Now he can't stop thinking about it, and that summer almost twenty years ago when he'd come to know Malfoy very well indeed.

Such a wonderful, lovely story. It's non-linear, from Harry's POV, and in one time-time we see Harry and Draco meeting a few years after the war, back when they were finding his footing and discovering what they were going to do with their lives. They have a hot (smoking hot!!!!) season together, no quite a relationship, but something that obviously mattered to them. It runs its natural course, both follow different paths, and in the other time-line we see them older, Harry's separated from Ginny and is starting a new life, and after meeting Draco again (and a rather vivid vision in the Mirror of Erised) he admits he never forgot Draco.

It's wonderful indeed, seeing them mature, seeing the history they had, how good they were together, and yet, they maybe needed this time apart to reach the point they reach at the gorgeous ending. :) It has lovely characterisations of Harry and Draco and Blaise and Ron and Hermione. :D

And a quote:

And as Malfoy grabbed his hip, rough, and jerked hard against him, as they both cried out and came, their two bodies cleaving together like they could burrow inside the other, Harry thought that the most amazing bit of pleasure Draco had given him was the simple, pure feeling that he belonged right where he was. As real and fucked up and redeemable as anybody else.

A story in which Draco and Harry are lost after the war. A story in which they find life in love.
Content/Warning(s): depression, self-destructive behaviour.


This is a beautiful story. As the summary says, Harry and Draco are lost after the war, they meet, they see each other, they connect. But you see, Harry is not in a good place, he carries so much regret and guilt on his shoulder, he can't really see past his grief. He is not in a good place to love, nor to be loved, yet Draco loves him, he loves him so much, and as much has Harry tries to push him away, he also loves Draco.

This fic is non-linear. We see their first time, we see how they met again after the war, the trials, we see where they are now, we see how Harry pushes Draco away. But we also get to see gorgeous insights into their hearts and souls, all those things they aren't saying, but feeling. It's very, very touching, and the ending is just wonderful.

Summary: "I’m twenty-eight!" Harry said. "I’ve been an Auror for ten years! You want me to go back to Hogwarts now?"

Oh, man, this story is so much fun! Harry is trying to take office in the Department of Magical Enforcement, and he's only finding bumps in the way, until it seems he finally will, when someone re-discovers a law that says that any person to be appointed as such needs to have finished his schooling at Hogwarts securing a good opinion of their instructors.

Which means Harry has to go back to Hogwarts, which wouldn't be too bad, really, only the new Potions professor is one Draco Malfoy, and Draco Malfoy will do what he does best. Er, make Harry's life a living hell and sabotage his potions. Oh, and of course, there's all the illicit fucking going around because, of course, somehow Harry makes him think he's seducing him for a good grade.

It's insane and fun and awesome. But there's more, there's the whole problem about the people stopping Harry from taking office, and why, and why Draco is helping them. But trust me, the end is most satisfactory for everyone involved, except perhaps McGonagall. :D
