Summary: If he’d been thinking straight, Draco would have guessed that Harry didn’t do things by halves, and that hopping into bed with him would be as exhilarating and impossible to control as anything Draco’d ever felt about the stupid tosser ― but even Draco could admit that keeping a level-head around Harry wasn’t exactly his strong point.
Content/Warning(s): Edging, orgasm delay/denial, sexual frustration, anal sex, intergluteal sex, blow jobs, face fucking, rimming, dirty talk, masturbation, slightly rough-ish sex, wrist pinning (actually there are a lot more so very yummy. :D Do check the warning/content tags!)

This fic is so good, so hot, it's alsdjfasdf worthy of a keyboard smash. :D It's actually one long smut scene and delicious in every way, in which Harry and Draco are having sex, Draco ponders on how much he wants Harry, their friends-with-benefit arrangement and going mad basically because Harry's teasing him and teasing him and teasing him over and over, taking him to the brink and then teasing him some more. There's banter and feelings and it's fantastic!

Title: Harry Potter and the Future He Doesn't Really Want, Thanks.

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 70,000 Approx.
Summary: It was addictive, the feeling of Draco Malfoy telling him things in a soft voice early in the morning. Harry felt like he was taming a wild animal, or petting a cat that hated everybody else. This train existed outside of time, that was the only explanation Harry could come up with as to why Malfoy was actually having a civil conversation with him right now.
Content/Warning(s): Modern Era

This story has such a cool premise. It's rather effing brilliant, actually. Right after the war Harry starts having these dreams, visions of the future. Not in the 'you shall kill a Dark Lord' sort of way, just very vivid dreams that are in fact showing him the future. Sometimes it's little things, other times involve some of his friends, often it's something it's going to happen to him, and if that's not weird enough, his latest dream showed him a vision of him and Draco Malfoy being a couple, obviously in love, living together, such a sweet vision, so naturally he wakes up freaking out and freaks some more to Luna (his roommate, or rather he's staying in her couch) and Neville (sleeping with Luna). :D

He doesn't want that future. It's not that he hates Draco. He sort of ~nothing Draco, but it's still Malfoy, so it's enough reason for him to be utterly unsettled, so of course he runs into Draco right after having that first dream. :D It's rather brilliant, I'm telling you. He keeps running into Draco all over the city—Draco's been sentenced to leave the wizarding world so he's living amongst Muggles and he's really trying and, you know, I'm going to share one of my favourite quotes:

He knew, then, that Malfoy had changed, or would change, or was in the process of changing.

Harry knew, with the same surety, that he wanted to be there for it. He wanted to watch as Malfoy unfolded himself and shook out the parts that were cruel and mean and hateful. He wanted to watch for the moment when Malfoy’s limbs and heart and brain and muscles moved in a way that wasn’t heavy with unease and anger. He wanted to see a thousand more easy smiles on Malfoy’s face, it wouldn’t even matter if he hadn’t put them there himself. He wanted to see Malfoy bloom with laughter.

Slow burn and amazing. :)

Summary: What’s big and purple and smells like tea? Harry is about to find out.
Content/Warning(s): EWE plus Fred lives!, original characters, quite a good bit of fluff

Headlights in the Snow is Saras_girl's 2016 Advent, and it follows the 25 days leading to Christmas. It starts in George's stag party, when Harry's a little drunk and the whole group takes the Knight Bus and Harry's absolutely certain – or as certain as he can be, as he is a little drunk – that Draco is the one driving the bus. No one else seems to notice, but of course Harry does.

Obviously his curiosity gets the better of him and hails the bus to investigate further, and yes, it was Draco Malfoy driving the bus all right. :D And so Harry's in for an adventure, discovering what Draco has been up to, the strange and amazing routine he has with a wonderful (utterly wonderful) group of old ladies who have made the Knight Bus their home (not literally, but think of the bus as their daily social club meeting place, which is indeed what it is) and ultimately falling in love. It's a journey in more ways than one and absolutely lovely and magical. :)

Summary: Draco Malfoy just wants a quiet life. He has a successful business, a lovely wife, and a delightfully horrible circle of friends. He’s fine. Or, he was fine until Harry Potter thundered into his life with all the subtlety of a blast-ended skrewt and turned everything on its head. Now he’s beginning to wonder if ‘fine’ is enough, after all.
Content/Warning(s): Infidelity (Draco/Astoria)

This story is amazing. It's truly fantastic. Oh my god. It starts when this one day Draco goes to his favourite coffee shop to get his weekly 'proper' coffee and finds Harry tending the counter. Harry's left the wizarding world some five years before, so it's really a shock to see him out of the blue like that.

But Draco goes back to the coffee shop and though this time it isn't Harry making his coffee (and not as good as Harry either!), Harry is there and they start talking. At first is, you know, Potter and Malfoy, a bit awkward and stand-offish, but as time passes they strike an unlikely friendship, a genuine friendship to the point that Draco encourages Harry to come back to the wizarding word. He suggests that if he doesn't want to navigate the press and all that his coming back implies, he could hire a RP firm to help him with that (Parkinson Zabini). Harry, feeling he's ready to come back and come out – officially, agrees and sets to set up a charity Ascendio, to provide a safe place and support for young LBGT people.

But there's so much more than that. Draco is married to Astoria, who by the way is amazing, she's his best friend and she's smart and confident, and just wonderful all around, and Draco does love her, very dearly, but he's living in denial, denial who he is and who he wants and they both have all this pressure to start a family—and now that Harry's made his way into Draco's life, Draco is simply unable to keep denying who he is.

There are so many feelings, the denial, but in a way that gets to your soul and you understand Draco and where he's coming from, so much UST, just, there, all the time, in every amazing interaction Harry and Draco have, growing and simmering under the surface. Harry and Draco's characterisations are beautiful, but so are everybody's; Astoria, Pansy, Hermione. Slow burn, but not too slow.

I know people can be wary of infidelity fics, but this story is not about that, or not only about that, it's about coming to terms with who you are, about finally being honest to yourself and the people you love, about understanding and love. It's truly wonderful.

Title: Five Weddings and a Potions Accident
Author: lauren3210

Word Count: 19,600 Approx.
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. :)

Title: Highlands
Author: Seefin
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 16,200 Approx.
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. :)

Title: Here Be Dragons

Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 22,000 Approx.
Summary: Harry doesn’t want to waste his time investigating illegal dragonhide trading, whether it involves a fetish club in Knockturn Alley or visiting a remote island in Wales. Why the bloody hell does Malfoy always have to be up to something?
Content/Warning(s): Light BDSM, light D/s themes


Ahh, this fic! :D It's so very, very good, lord! Well, as the summary says, Harry is appointed to investigate a potentially illegal dragonhide trading in UK, and of course, once he starts his investigation (in a fetish club of all places!) he finds out Draco is at the root of the problem. Naturally he needs to investigate further! And not only because Draco is involved, and not only because Draco looks like a dream clad in tight leather trousers. It's his duty, he has a report to write (!).

So Draco invites Harry to see where he gets his dragonhide, and there's so much UST between them, so much, just simmering until Draco says the right thing in the right way and Harry reacts and it's smoking hot and gorgeous and perfect.

Summary: “It wasn’t…” Malfoy stops and there’s something tentative in his voice, the hint of an apology in his words. “It was never about you, Potter.”
With memories of the war still fresh on his mind and Malfoy back in London, Harry's past refuses to stay buried. As Harry tries to grapple with life and love, Malfoy seems determined to make him confront his deepest desires and Harry has to try not to lose his heart all over again.
Content/Warning(s): Puppy play (non-sexual), Non-sexual kink, Internalised Kink Shame, Light Bondage, First Times, Kink Exploration, Collars

There's something very, very beautiful about this story. Well, there's a lot of things amazing and beautiful about it, but what I mean is, the way the puppy play/pet play, plays such a comforting part for Harry. It's not of a sexual nature at all, it's about Draco giving something he needs, and getting something in return that Draco needs just as much. It's about trust, and understanding, and accepting oneself.

Of course, off the play they have some amazing, smoking hot sex. :D

But the story actually starts when Draco returns, and we learn Harry and Draco had a little something after the war. It wasn't anything formal, nor it was a steady thing, but it was important enough that neither forgot the other, and now that Draco's back, they do try to build something solid. It is very beautiful.

Title: Such Great Heights
Author: softlyforgotten

Summary: Draco Malfoy, wide-eyed and pale and in a decidedly ragged shirt, was crouched next to the pile of whatever the dragon had been eating.
Harry threw himself to a halt and yelled, “Merlin, how many times do I have to save your life?”

This story, oh my god, so amazing! I can't believe it took me this long to find it and read it! It's basically about a dragon. Not just a dragon, the dragon Harry, Ron and Hermione rode in their escape from Gringotts.

It's almost one year after the war and the dragon has been roaming all over the country. Harry feels responsible for the creature and goes looking for it. What he didn't expect to find was Draco with the dragon, who is also on the run, by the way. Erm, Draco that is.

Of course Harry is immediately intrigued. What is Draco Malfoy doing with the dragon?

Well, it turns out he's been taking care of her. As in, protecting her and feeing her and basically keeping her safe. You remember the dragon was sick, traumatised and basically abused living all those years underground in Gringotts, right? She was in bad shape, and Draco's been taking care of her. Naturally Harry wants to get involved, and Draco, though none too happy about it, reluctantly agrees to let Harry see the dragon.

I'm going to move fast-forward to: eventually they start sleeping together, and it's just such a mess because they are the absolute worst to communicate. They fight and argue and bicker all the time. And then there are all the legal problems they face: Draco (and his family – also on the run) aren't cleared, the dragon is wanted by the Ministry, Draco is super attached to his illegal dragon, and Harry is confused and super attached to Draco.

But it's so much more than that, because they are living with the trauma of the war, there's a sense of hurt/comfort in so many relationships (Harry has so many people living with him at Grimmauld Place), Bi!Harry, the characterisations in the story are amazing, like, omfg, truly amazing, and then there are all the feels. Awesome fic.

Title: 1000 Kisses: #33 The First Time In A Storage Closet

Summary: Life is made up of millions of moments. Relationships are made up of thousands of kisses. Each one is its own story.

There are so many gorgeous descriptions in this story. The author really takes her time to describe exactly how Harry feels and tastes and reacts to Draco.

But that's later on. :D The story starts with Draco and Harry in a inter department meeting, sitting across from each other, from Draco's POV, and god, his want and need of Harry is beautiful. Through the meeting it's all Draco can think of, and then after the meeting, when he waits for Harry and then pushes him into this empty little storage room, god, you have to read that, it's incredibly sexy. Will make your day, let me tell you! :D

This little fic is fantastic. It's basically Harry and Draco trying a new position, but the banter happening prior the actual position is the best, and then once they achieve the position is also the best. It's smoking hot and hilarious and sweet. :D

Content/Warning(s): Past relationship, Epilogue Compliant

Ohh, this fic! This is the final instalment of the trilogy Are You Mine? It takes place after Not Just When You Want to Be (H/D) and What I'm Waiting to Find (James/Teddy).

In Not Just When You Want to Be, which I recced here, we get to see Harry and Draco after the war, the history they shared, it's intense and fiery, but they were young, they needed to mature, they just weren't in the right place to be together just then.

This story is post Epilogue, and it's amazing. In What I'm Waiting to Find we are aware Harry and Ginny have been having problems, and in this fic we see them separated, getting divorced, and it's such a bittersweet moment because they did have something good, they were best friends, companions, but ultimately not right for each other. Then Harry runs into Draco and all those feelings that were always in Harry's heart come back with a vengeance and he wants to know Draco again, he feels he knows Draco, but they both have changed, have grown, and you see, maybe now it's the right time for them.

It's so lovely, all the tension, the sexual tension, seeing them try again, knowing they never forgot each other, and god, it's thrilling to see that happening, see them coming together, at last. Such an amazing journey! It's beautiful. :)

Summary: Draco found the nest down in the Manor’s cellars, while he was clearing them out.

This fic is so, so good! It starts right after the Malfoys flee the battle, and Draco begins to clear up the Mannor's cellars. There are Muggle prisoners, and bodies and it's terrible, and in one of the rooms, he discovers Nagini's nest. But after he was attacked by one of the snakes, he discovers there's one remaining egg, a very weak snake, harmless and nearly dying, which he can't bring himself to get rid of. This snake, Coil, as he named her, is actually pretty awesome, and it's with her help that Draco discovers Voldemort final revenge. He left a bomb-curse of sorts, that would trigger an explosion killing all Muggle-born if so much as one sets foot in Malfoy Mannor. Obviously he contact the Aurors and Harry, who comes with Draco to the Manor as his "prisoner" to help to dismantle the spell entwined with the wards.

They spend weeks and weeks together, and inevitably they are attracted to each other. They can't help it!

“You look like—like something out of fairy tales,” he groaned, running a hand over his face. . .

“I am something out of fairy tales!” Draco howled at him in fury. “I’m a fucking wizard! So are you! It’s no excuse for your fancying me!”

But that's not it, once they finally dismantle the spell (with a lot of help from Coil), Harry and Draco have still all these feelings for each other, only Harry can't commit to Draco because of their history, and Draco isn't willing to be Harry's bit on the side. Draco though, wants to marry, so he starts courting – there's some pretty awesome Wizarding and pureblood culture here – while Harry is wildly jealous.

Won't give (even more) details, but this story will surprise you. It's fun and exciting. :D

This fic, there's so much UST in this fic! :D It begins with Games Night, Draco and Hermione's idea to promote inter-house unity. But of course Harry ~challenges Draco, and so they end up playing Twister (and rubbing onto each other in all sorts interesting places). And then next Games Night is. . . Strip Poker. So yes, it gets better. :D

Content/Warning(s): RPG


Smutty fic and sequel are smutty! These are both pretty much PWP, and so hot! The first one, as summary says, Harry is one slutty drunk, and boy he has such a dirty mouth, too. Hot dirty talking here.

In the sequel, Harry and Draco do a little RPG, in which Harry is a ~Big Bad Auror~ and Draco is a suspect, ready to do anything to avoid Azkaban. Super hot! But I love that they are so obviously perfect together, too. :)
