Summary: “No,” Harry said, by way of greeting. Malfoy’s blonde head rose slowly, carelessly. “Get out.” // “I feel as though we’ve already established this, Potter,” Malfoy responded. “And I feel that what we established was that you telling me to get out of places really doesn’t make me more likely to vacate them.”


This is a really amazing fic. The story starts the day Draco arrives to Ireland, to the house Harry's been living for the last few years along with other people, to do his Potion mastery. Harry does not react well. ^^ And he's even less thrilled to find out they are going to share a room. There's a lot of antagonism at the beginning, but eventually they start being able to be civil and then get to know each other. There's the physical attraction, which they are both fighting, but while all this is happening they are still dealing with trauma from the war, which makes it even more difficult for them to leave the past behind.

It's incredibly touching though, so many beautiful moment of them dealing with war trauma, slow burn with a lot of sexual tension (eventually resolved) and they working through their issues. Truly awesome. :)

Summary: Draco and Harry have spent years dancing around one another, but Potter’s straight and married. Until one day he isn’t.
Content/Warning(s):

Such a gorgeous, beautiful story. After over twenty years of marriage, photos of Harry with another men are published in every wizarding publication. Draco reads them all avidly. But it's not a story about Harry dealing with the press, at least it's not only a story about that, it's a story about coming out, about finally being honest with yourself about who you are and what you want, no matter how old you are.

It's written from Draco's POV. They aren't best friends exactly, they just work together on occasion, Harry as Auror and Draco as a lawyer, but there's always been something between them, and now that Harry's out, maybe it could truly be something.

Seriously, lovely, intense and sexy, Harry and Draco are older, mature, they know what they want and it's wonderful.

Summary: Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco's life is finally getting back in order. Until, that is, he sees a familiar face that has been missing since that last awful morning of the war. // When has knowing Potter done anything other than complicate his life? // Although, for two people such as Potter and Malfoy, how can they fall in love except to put aside their preconceived notions about one another?
Content/Warning(s): Memory loss

I so love memory loss fic and this one is wonderful. :)

The story starts when Draco travels to California for business and sees a familiar face, one that has been missing from the Wizarding world since right after the Battle of Hogwarts. It's Harry, though he quickly realises Harry doesn't remember him, doesn't remember himself, doesn't even know he's a wizard and—well. Obviously Draco has to do something, and that something is basically kidnap him and bring him back to London. :D

Of course he calls Ron and Hermione (who are very wary about the whole thing to say the least) and the process of bringing Harry's memories back starts.

It's wonderful, to see Harry starting to remember little things, and while this happen all this sexual tension between Harry and Draco growing – since Harry is staying at Draco's place while he's remembering. But of course it's not easy once the press gets wind of Harry being back. ^^

Summary: Harry Peterson, Orderer Extraordinaire, and his trusty sidekick, Ray. Or: Harry's been hit with a memory charm, but it's okay because he realises he's bent for Draco Malfoy.


This story is, oh my god, so much fun. Harry's temporarily lost his memories, but that's OK because he's got Ray, who is actually Ron to help him navigate the blanks. Only, after seeing this blond god the bar, he realised Ray forgot to tell him he's gay. And he's decided to chat the blond up because, why the hell not. LOL It's amazing and fun and sexy, and Draco makes Yoga and—yeah, read it and love it. :)

Summary: They had an arrangement. Malfoy would send a coded memo when he needed Harry. He knew to tell his secretary to hold his appointments, and lock the door after he arrived. It was a game they started when they were just starting their careers at the Ministry; it’s something they’ve kept up all this time. Harry thought the excitement would wear off at some point, yet his heartbeat always sped up when he received one of their coded memos, desire and anticipation pooling in his stomach like syrup.

Oh my god! Yummiest office!Sex ever! :D If you check the tags/content you'll see this fic includes stuff like partially clothed sex (and there's also suit!Kink so yay!), playful D/s, desperation, dirty talk so basically hotness all over. \o/

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: Everyone always forgets about the Merpeople. So did Harry until the day his, Lee’s, and Hermione’s Portkeys land at Reagan National Airport’s Arrivals dais. He’s just had to leave a job he loves and pack his entire life—literally—into his luggage. Then Malfoy and his subplots arrive, and suddenly, saving the world again, one Mermaid at a time, sounds like the perfect excuse to do something he’s always wanted.

This fic is super interesting! It's about how Muggles have been contaminating the waters and basically destroying the Merepeople's habitat.

Harry and Draco come into the picture because, both, blackmailed by the Miniter for Magic, are asked to go to USA to fix the problem. Draco is a Potions Master and Harry is a field chemist who especialices in water.

In the meantime we get to learn a few things about Harry and Draco. A) Harry and Draco had been friendly for quite a while back home. Harry often visiting Draco at Hogwarts where he teaches Potions, thing that stopped once Harry realised he had feelings for Draco, and B) That, related to A, Harry's been pining for Draco for years, basically. :D

The plot is very clever, we get to see everything they do to save the Mers (Harry and Draco each brought a team with them), and try to discover why the Minister wanted them (Harry & Draco) out of the picture back home, there are also some pretty brilliant interaction between Harry and Draco, the team, Draco's American cousin (who is super, too!).

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.

Summary: Hag magic is capricious and unruly, and Harry and Draco are bound to stay by each other’s side until they can solve the riddle. In between long car trips, misty rain, and midnight star charts, they begin to understand each other.
Content/Warning(s): bonding!fic

This fic is so, so, so amazing. Harry and Draco's work occasionally overlap, and they had been working on this old Manor house, however, the owner, a witch, a hag, isn't happy with them messing around with the house, the object, so he curse them, it's a 'lesson curse,' which means they have to learn something, figure out the purpose of the curse or else they will lose something. In Harry's case is his heart, literally, what Draco will lose is less clear, but trust me, finding out is part of what makes it amazing. So they are bound together (not literally, but forced proximity), and though they do not get along at all, spending all their time together they start knowing each other, seeing each other under a different light, learning each other's fears and strengths, and let me tell you, it's pretty wonderful.

The plot, their unusual jobs (Harry's job is so, so cool!), the amazing insights into Harry and Draco's character, the slow build, these sexy dreams they share, and the tension, pretty incredible. :)

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: A mysterious creature is loose in London, stalking and killing people. Auror Harry Potter requests the help of a liaison from the Beast Division and gets saddled with Draco Malfoy. Will they be able to stop the creature before it claims more lives?
Content/Warning(s): brief descriptions of dead bodies


This fic is just so exciting. It's a case!fic, and the plot is super! As the summary says, it starts when Harry requests helps from the Beast Division because there's been attacks in London and it's clearly a creature, and Malfoy is the liaison they sent.

And oh my god, they do not get along at all, but Draco proves to be super efficient and even though he's a pain in Harry's bum he's extremely helpful. However, some people at the ministry (the Head of Draco's department among many) are still very prejudiced, and soon start to wonder if maybe Draco's being so efficient because he's hiding something. Harry knows it's not the case, he's seen Draco's work and though it's not easy working with him, he trusts him. Along the way, well, there's attraction (very nice slow-build), which they fight and even ignore, the case becomes more complicated what with people suspecting Draco. It's really, really interesting and exciting, awesome characterisations of Harry (he's such a great Auror) and Draco (smart, efficient Draco!). :)

Summary: Potter escorts me home, presses me into my front door and kisses me with a ferocity that’s exhilarating. // And then Potter asks me, in a growl that makes my cock throw a wet tantrum in my pants, how many more dates I would deem mandatory before I let him fuck me. // I drag Potter to bed.

In case the title doesn't completely give it away, this fic has Hung!Harry. :D And Draco's equally proportional obsession with Harry, and Harry's, um, person.

Seriously though, Draco's POV as he goes on and on (and on!) about Harry is hilarious, it's sexy (funny and sexy!) and then the fic is incredibly sweet too. Ohh, and Harry is SUPER charming. :D

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: The coffee is very good. Really. And the cats are so cute. That's why Harry goes so often.

This is such a sweet, lovely fic. God, can you imagine Draco owning a cat café? Can you imagine anything more awesome? Draco owns a cat café! And it's completely wonderful.

One day, after a very trying day at work, Harry finds a stray, well, it's not really a stray, this little kitten is lost, but she has medallion with her address and of course Harry goes to return her safely. And that's how he discovers Draco owns a cat café, and makes a very good coffee, and realises he's as obsessed as ever with Draco. Thing that both Ron and Hermione keep telling him.

Naturally, naturally he keeps coming back to Cat's Brew Café and becomes a regular. It's super sweet and heart-warming how Draco takes care of all his cats, how Harry comes to love them, all of them, how he wants to help, and ultimately realises what was missing form his life. :)
