Summary: In all his years at the Ministry, Draco has never seen anything like it. Typical that it should turn up in Potter's bin.

This is a charming story. It starts as Draco, who is deputy head of Magical Maintenance at the Ministry, is testing a new spell with his team so all the bins at the ministry self-empty with a single spell, but something went off with one in Level Five, and when he goes to investigate, well, it turns it's Harry Potter's bin.

And while Draco figures out what was blocking the bin (a most unexpected object, too!), this is how they started talking, meeting almost every day. It's lovely, and will leave you with a smile on your face.

Title: The Snitch-Maker

Summary: Draco is content with his Snitches, with the tap tap tap of his hammer, and the tiny gears and sharp scent of metal in his workshop - until one day Harry Potter appears, asking for help to solve a rash of Snitch-tampering in the Quidditch world.

This is such a lovely story. It's almost peaceful, the way it's written. Such a lovely pace.

You see, there's Draco who is a Snitch maker, and he lives a quiet, peaceful, simple life. Valuable, of course, but a quiet life; he makes his Snitches, he loves his work, he takes pride on it. And then there's Harry, no longer an Auror, who works on a Ministry division to promote Quidditch asking for his help because apparently someone has been tampering Snitches.

He really doesn't suspect Draco, he really wants his help, but it's as Harry and Draco work together, investigate together, that something between them happens; change. It's written from Draco's POV, and it's beautiful, to see Harry through his eyes, to learn Draco's thoughts, feelings, see this thing between them happening. Yeah, its lovely. :)

Summary: Harry has promised that he will not do anything to upset the new head of Magical Creatures. Even if it is Draco Malfoy. When three centaur foals appear in Cumbria, far from the Forbidden Forest and all too close to Muggles, Harry’s promise is thoroughly tested. To say nothing of his equestrian skills.

This is such an entertaining story. It all started when one ministry official from the Magical Creatures department attacked a student and Aurors were called. Now both heads of Departments, Harry and Draco, have to figure out what happened, which they do, in fact, but then they have yet another issue on their hands that they decide to treat in person. And it's not as dirty as you're thinking, turns out a small group of centaurs were sighted in a Muggle area. And it's while dealing with that that they fun things happen. And by fun I mean awesome fun. :D

Also, Harry sort of cockblocks Draco while he tries to get some with someone else, but that's for you to enjoy while reading this fic.

Summary: Draco's wicked uncle is trying to kill him, so he seeks refuge in an unlikely place.

This fic is just so, so awesome~! :D

So, Draco has this crazy uncle who is trying to kill him for his inheritance, he goes and hires someone, who in turn warns Draco of the imminent danger he's in, and actually helps him hide. This is where the Weasleys come in, they take Draco because, of all things, Draco can cook and Mrs Weasley is away. I know it sounds crazy, and it is, but it's so, so awesome (I just said!) and there are so many little details that will remind of you of Snow White that you're going to love it. Well, I did, and I hope you do, too. :D

Title: The Fall of the Veils

Summary: The next war followed hard upon Voldemort’s defeat. Muggles find out about wizards. This makes Harry feel bad. Draco doesn't love Harry back. This makes Harry feel sad. Then there's conspiracy and intrigue and working together and Legilimency and murder and adventure and suspicion and magical things, and all of this makes Harry feel mad. So this fic is about Harry feeling all the feelings, and then everyone else feels feelings too. Even Draco. Remix of Ellhorn by kedavranox.


This story is just so, so good.

The fall of the Veils, is basically about that, the magical Veils that protect the Wizarding world from Muggles fall. Muggles all of the sudden can see Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic. There's chaos and death, and for all the advantages magic gives them, they are outnumbered and unprepared against Muggles and their organisation and weapons.

This happens just a few months after Voldemort falls and so the magical world see itself in another war against the very people they were trying to protect. The story starts after the war with the Nonmagicals has been fought and peace has been achieved, however there are still crimes against wizards being committed, and it's one of these that Harry and Draco are going to investigate together, but in between it tells how it all began, and it also tells about a new power Harry has when a Dementor half-kisses and left him with empathic power—being able to feel, perceive what others feel, but it goes both ways as other are also able to pick up what Harry is feelings if Harry let his defences down.

The story, the writing, is amazing, and the characterisations are gorgeous. The way Draco is written, so restrained and composed, but inside full of passion, is beautiful. And the way Harry loves him, so fiercely, so completely is even more so. The way through all this, to see this love of Harry for Draco grow from respect and admiration, and then see Draco's feelings for Harry, back from Hogwarts all through the two wars they faced, it's just brilliant, absolutely brilliant. If you give this amazing story a chance, you're not going to regret it, and you won't be able to put it down until you get to the end, and then you'll want to read it again. :D

Summary: My name is Draco Malfoy and I'm known for two things. One, what happened on a fateful morning in June, and two, my relationship with Harry Potter. Before we can get to the events of that summer morning, we have to start at the beginning. A remix of Books, Quills, Passing Notes by obliqueo


This is a darling of a story. It's Draco telling you how his and Harry's relationship began in the 8th year (hilarious little charms and jinxes came into play) through their life post Hogwarts and certain obstacles they had to endure when some people wouldn't accept them and threatened Draco.

Very sweet and entertaining. I'm telling you, those 'jinxes' are super funny.

Summary: One day, Draco begins receiving the Daily Prophet a day in advance. Out of the pure kindness of his heart, he starts using the extra day's news to help some others – and if his wallet happens to benefit, all the better. But what happens the day he sees that it's Harry who needs help?


This story is so entertaining! Draco's been getting the paper with the next day's news, and hence has the perfect opportunity to some saving, prodded by Bob, the cat.

I love Draco's voice here, he's got the perfect combination of altruistic and selfish, because even though he does the right thing, he complains every step of the way. And what's worse, somehow all the credit goes to Harry! Until he has to save Harry himself.

Really fun!

Summary: If this wasn't a curse then it was Hell. Because surely, in Hell, all roads would lead to Harry Potter's living room.


Oh, my god. You have to read this story. It's amazing!

It all starts with Draco always winding up at Harry's house. It's a curse, actually. Like, he tries to Floo to the Ministry for work, he ends up at Harry's place. He tries to fly to the Ministry, he ends up in Harry's yard. He tries to take the Knight Bus, he ends up at Harry's doorstep. And so on and so forth. He's only able to leave Harry's place at all if he's with Harry, which is all kinds of awesome.

And from then on, it only gets better. It's funny, there's UST by the buckets, and it's got lovely character development and Harry is hot as hell. Honestly, what are you waiting for? Read! :D

Summary: In a world where Voldemort has been defeated but the Death Eaters remain at large, Harry Potter is a war colonel leading a regiment across Muggle Eurasia. When he’s injured in the line of duty, he refuses treatment from anyone except Healer Malfoy, who is befuddled but perfectly willing to find out what this means.


Such an exciting story!

You have to imagine this world; the Death Eaters are at large on many countries. Harry is a Colonel for the Ministry's army, and while on a mission he gets hurt, and he demands for Draco to be the one who treats him. But that's not all! This story is packed with action and original details of what it means to be stranded in a war zone.

And oh my god, the sexual tension between Harry and Draco here is both subtle and delicious. Harry is dead sexy here, too, in command and gorgeous. Oh yes.

Summary: Draco and Harry are in the Portkey business! Hijinks ensue, Draco has a few panic attacks, Harry is seriously fit, and somehow they're stranded in Argentina.

I loved how Draco was written here. You see, both Harry and Draco work for the Department of Magical Transportation, and Draco is experimenting with long distance Portkeys, which strands them in Buenos Aires.

The thing is, Draco is in complete denial about his feelings for Harry, but once confronted with another man showing interest in him, Draco becomes insanely jealous. And Harry, God, Harry is so sexy, he's so mature and composed all the time. It's like he knows how Draco feels, but wants Draco to admit it himself first. It's wonderful all the way.

Summary: Harry already has two children, an ex-wife, annoying colleagues and an international crime ring to deal with. So when Draco Malfoy reappears after eight years AWOL in France, of course Harry is going to leave him well alone...Right?
Warning(s): See them on the fic, all of them are fairly harmless. ^^


This story is packed with action. Just when you think things are going to turn alright and live happily ever after a new twist comes along to keep you on your toes. It's super entertaining and exciting.

Harry is an Obliviator and he's sent to pick up a drunk wizard in Muggle London, which of course turns out to be Draco, who was swimming on a fountain saying his name was "Jack Daniels". Naturally Harry can't leave it well alone, so after another encounter with a drunk Draco decides to help and he brings Draco and Scorpius to live with him. And now they have an international crime ring after the lot of them.

This fic has everything; a hopelessly smitten Harry, an equally smitten Draco, though he's difficult, which I love, super cute children, lots of UST, lovely sex, memory loss (a couple of chapters), tons of action and a brilliant ending.

Should keep you busy for a while, but's worth it, this story is a lot of fun.

Not an epilogue complaint story. ^^

Summary: A lawn mower, a pertly pink todger, endless cups of tea and a few sly grins. Oh yes, and Harry is cursed to temporarily bond to anyone he gets close to; for some reason that person ends up being Draco, more often than not…


This story is entirely too delightful. It's as the summary says, Harry gets cursed and now he's bounded to be near the first person who gets close to him for the next couple of hours, and surprisingly, purely by accident (!!!) Draco is just that person rather often.

And wonderful things happen. Seriously, this is the sort of story you read all the way through with a smile on your face.

Summary: Harry Potter has spent the last seven years doing everything the Wizarding World’s saviour and Golden Boy shouldn’t – breaking it off with his childhood sweetheart, quitting Auror training, and living in isolation in Muggle London. Having just gotten out of an emotionally and financially abusive relationship, Harry hasn’t been out of his house in weeks. Meanwhile, after disappearing from the Wizarding World and moving to America for seven years, Draco Malfoy has become a famous Hollywood actor and is back in England to film his latest movie. When Draco begins to receive serious threats, he asks for a Wizard bodyguard to be assigned to him, and who should be more fit for the job than the fallen-from-grace Man Who Lived Twice himself? But can Harry and Draco set aside their differences and work together, or is this just a disaster in the making?


I had such a good time reading this story.

In one hand there's Harry, he's just coming out of a bad relationship, with a partner who always put him down, who cheated on him and took advantage of him, and now he's sort of lost, depressed, and maybe ready for a change.

And in the other hand, there's Draco, a famous Hollywood actor -- and you wouldn't believe how well this works in this characterisation of Draco, who has been receiving death threats since he's back in London and is in need of a bodyguard.

The minister asks Harry as a favour to take this job, and Harry, though he's not sure of how well it'll work between him and Draco, accepts. And it's really lovely, because they start getting to know each other, though both of them are more mature, there's still bicker and bather, and all the time a growing attraction while Harry tries to protect Draco, they are both a little bit insecure in their own ways, but they met again at the right moment. Lovely.

Summary: Everyone always told Harry to grow up. Now that he has, when is the promised happiness going to arrive?


I've been reading a lot of angsty fics lately and I wanted something with a little fluff on the side, and this story was just the thing.

Harry feels trapped in a non-consequential job, and his life is nothing like he hoped it would be. He's very depressed and dejected, you'll really feel for him. But there's Draco, causing shenanigans, who decides to remind Harry how to have some fun. Only Harry didn't think Draco would be naked while doing so.

It's not what you think! Well, not at first, and then, yeah, it's exactly what you think. :D

It's a very entertaining, fluffy, feel-good story.

This story is fantastic. (And sorry for what I think it's my longest rec yet. >.<)

It's the Wizarding world worst nightmare. The Muggles are aware of the Magical world's existence, and they are persecuting wizards and witches, keeping the them in prison, witches in camps and bounding their magic.

This fic tells three stories at the same time. No, it's not confusing, yes, it's incredible.

It tells how Harry and Draco got together, back when Voldemort was the threat, not the Muggles. It tells how their relationship was at first secret, and how Draco was a spy for the Order. It tells how these persecutions started, how the Muggles slowly starting killing and trapping wizards, binding their magic, and what happened to Draco while being in prison in a different country and how Harry went through this without him. And these two merge into the main story; Draco returning to England years after, finding the Wizarding World nearly extinct but for those few who have survived by hiding, unaware of everything Harry had suffered and realising how much he had, and all the struggles he endures, all he does until he finally frees Harry and the other prisoners who are barely alive in the Muggle prisons and camps.

It's almost stark, nearly a Dark story, but not because it's hopeless, but because it's so very dramatic, the persecutions of the Muggles, the abuse, mental, psychological and physical wizards and witches suffer is almost disturbing.

It's touching, it's so incredibly touching, the struggles, God, everything Harry and Draco went through, together and apart. Harry constant, growing dread about what's happening in the Wizarding world while the Muggles attack them, and Draco being away in prison, lost from the world, unaware of everything Harry and his world is going through. But I must stress, while there's plenty of Angst, and indeed, I'm tagging this entry as angst, it's not only angst. There are parts, many parts, that will make you smile, parts that will remind you how strong they are, and how together they can overcome anything.

Just like a tragic story, this fic, as it portrays everything the characters go through, it also shows you all these things that are worth going through hell and back, you know?

It's mainly told from Draco's POV, but it switches to others, which can be a bit distracting, but the story is so good even with that distraction.

There's only a bit of a downside, and this that the sequel From the Ashes is incomplete, and probably abandoned, as it hasn't been updated since 2009. But it's not that this fic ends in a cliffhanger, just, you would have liked to know more of their story. But it's really great. One of those epic stories you remember.

Oh, Also, while in this story they switch, it's mainly bottom!Harry.
