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: 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. :)

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: 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! :)

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. ;)

Summary: "He imagined Draco’s smile, all gums and slightly crooked teeth, his hair slicked back with Pacific water, and he knew: He’d travel as long as he’d need to if it meant he’d see that face. If it meant that Draco would hear the message he’d been carrying for so long. Maybe he didn’t have to travel the road alone anymore."
Draco and Harry go on a road trip together. It's about the journey, not the destination.
Content/Warning(s): Non Magical AU

Muggle!AU \o/ In which Harry and Draco are rival swimmers for different schools, until they go to the same college and after Harry's “We’re swimming for the same team now, Malfoy. You can stop being a dick.” they become friends, best friends, in fact.

After graduation they decided to make a road trip through America, and let me tell you, seeing their feelings bloom is so wonderful. 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: Draco closes his eyes a twenty-seven-year-old auror and opens them a thirty-five-year-old father of four. It takes time to adjust.
Content/Warning(s): Mpreg, Memory loss

I have a big, huge spot for memory loss fic, and this was wonderful. The story starts as Draco is clearly feeling unwell while on a mission with Harry. He's hit with a hex and the next thing he knows, it's eight years later, he's married to Harry and has for little boys and expecting a fifth. 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: What's a man to do when he's unceremoniously outed in the Prophet?


This is a darling of a fic, truly. In which Harry is outted in the Prophet, and to spare himself the bother of dealing with everything, he simply goes away for a while to Luna's cabin in Finland, which sounds very good, only once he's there he learns one Draco Malfoy is the one who will do all his deliveries. :D

Lovely! I'm telling you, Harry realising he likes a bit too much Draco's visits, how he misses him, ah, it'll leave you with a big smile on your face. If you're looking for a fluffy-comfort read, this is it. :)

Summary: They’re wizards living in Muggle London, and it is the summer after the Battle of Hogwarts. One held out his hand, and the other grabbed on. They’re just boys, really, trying to find their way out of the rubble.
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.

Title: Unseen

Summary: When he wasn’t wearing it, he got jumpy, always waiting for someone to come at him wanting something—and now they did it even more urgently, if they ever saw him, because most of the time, nobody did.

This fic was inspired by alekina's gorgeous Harry/Draco and the Invisibility Cloak. And it's about Harry being harassed by 'fans' everywhere; on the streets, at work, even at home. It gets so bad he starts using his Invisibility Cloak all the time and become a bit dependant of it, and it isn't until Draco dares him to stop using it that he reacts and does something.

It's funny and sweet, with a touch of drama; truly fantastic.

Summary: Draco snorted. “I’m not reduced to penury. I want something considerably beyond money, and I rather think you’re the only one can give it to me.”
“You want the Invisibility Cloak,” Harry said, flatly. He’d half expected as much; it was the only thing he had that Draco could want—
“Don’t be stupid, Potter,” Draco said. “I want my reputation back.”

This fic is a lot of fun. It starts when we learn that Hermione working on a portal, sends herself to the land of the dead, and Harry to bring her back, needs Draco's help since he's the expert on fixing ancient artefacts.

But what Draco wants in return is, well, his reputation, which basically means he wants to be seen with Harry, which leads to them having sex, though Harry isn't too bothered by that because Draco is rather brilliant at it. While Draco is working on the portal though, Harry discovered long-lost relatives, who happened to be very powerful in the Wizarding World, and who might not approve of his dalliances with Draco.

And then, once the portal is fixed, what happens with Harry and Draco's ~relationship~? Well, that's for you to find out! :D It's super entertaining.

Word Count: 10,800 Approx.
Summary: Harry and Draco have quite a lot of sex, and Harry thinks it's more complicated than it actually is.


In which Draco is close friends with Hermione (they work together) and starts hanging out a LOT in hers and Harry's flat. Which, you know, doesn't make Harry happy at all.

Until they start shagging that is. Then Draco hanging out in their place is OK. :D

But really, this story is lovely. It's a bit about Harry not knowing what to do with his life, about starting this thing with Draco and not knowing what he wants from it, and a bit about finding happiness. :)

Summary: One morning Professor Draco Malfoy receives a mysterious package, and in order to identify the contents he needs to ask for help from the only professor he is loathe to require assistance from.


This is a completely loveable story in which Draco gets a mysterious package that contains a mysterious Potion. Harry Potter, being the Potions Master at Hogwarts is more than ready to help a fellow colleague.

The thing is, during all the time they've been working together (Draco is History of Magic teacher) he's always held Harry at arm's length for very important reasons (!!!!), but now, spending this time together, well, wonderful things happen. :)

Content/Warning(s): Muggle AU

This is such a cute story. It's a Muggle AU, which I love and there's not enough of, and it tells the story of Harry and Draco through the years – through several Halloweens, actually. We see them from very little (the cutest!) through their teens and to adulthood, and it's wonderful, because there's obviously something there between them all the time, a torch they carry for each other. And the ending is the sweetest thing. Trust me, this fic will leave you with the biggest smile on your face. :D

Summary: After a freak accident, which was totally Potter's fault, Draco has to live as Potter for three days. It isn't a party for Harry, either.

This fic is very entertaining.

The summary is already telling you that Harry and Draco managed to switch bodies and now they had to live as the other for three days. And they can't tell anyone, so they will try to fool—well, everybody. But there's more, obviously. :D

They have all these unresolved ~feelings towards each other. How these are going to get resolved though? Well, that's what the story is also about. It has a lot of sweet and funny moments! :D
