Summary: The Aurors tend to assume that someone broke in That Night, and Harry doesn't want to make them think otherwise. He doesn’t want them to know that it wasn’t a break in at all. That it was Harry’s fault... that he let it happen.
Warning(s): Abduction, Non-Con


This story really has a certain disturbing feel about it, as it should be, because Harry has a stalker, one that has attacked him, and what's more, it makes Harry feel it's his fault it happened.

Harry has been attacked, and Ron, as the Head Auror, has put Draco, the best Hit Wizard in the Ministry, in charge of his security. But Harry, the thing is, Harry doesn't want to live like that, with a 'babysitter' of sorts, and maybe you'll think he's being stubborn, but you'll see his way, you'll understand why he refuses to be afraid.

It's the sort of story that will keep you on the edge of your seat because you keep waiting for something to happen, and it does, little by little until it's caught on you fully, just like it did to Harry, and shock you, and you'll feel with him the impotency of it all.

But through all of this, what goes through between Harry and Draco is lovely, filled with UST, and then sexy and sweet.

It's a gorgeous suspense story.

Summary: Draco Malfoy decides that this year will be different. He will stand up to his father, stop getting irritated with his mother, give up smoking and find a suitable man. He chronicles his success (or lack thereof) in a diary.


This is a brilliant adaptation of Bridget Jones’ Diary.

It's entertaining, witty and charming. It's going to make you laugh and giggle. Draco's resolutions and journal entries are super funny without being cracky. And Harry is both aloof but playful at the same time, which I thought was perfect.

Summary: Harry is reluctantly sent to the most dreary conference in what has to be the dullest place on earth, but when he runs into Malfoy, whom he hasn’t seen in more than five years, things are suddenly a lot less boring.


I loved this story

You put Harry and Draco in a boring convention about correctly filling paper work and see what happens.

But I don't want you think this is only about that, it's awesome. The tedious hours hearing about magical PowerPoint presentations and correct margin, Harry and Draco writing notes to each other to alleviate the boredom, the flirty banter once they break the ice, the sexual tension building up, all this culminating in some lovely smut with the sweetest ending.

This story is a winner.

Summary: Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are just average, ordinary wizards working in dull positions at the Ministry and leading average, ordinary lives. Or, at least, that's what they'd like everyone -- including each other -- to believe.


This fic is awesome!

Harry and Draco are married, but they are living secret, professional lives, one Unspeakable and one Hit Wizard respectively. This secret, however, comes out into the open when one is assigned to protect a witness the other has to eliminate.

That's when things get really interesting. :D

It's fun, entertaining and sexy. This story is one of my favourites by this author. I know you'll enjoy it.

Summary: Memories of the war are still fresh, which is all the excuse Decent People need to do appalling things. In this quietly waged conflict, Draco Malfoy is happy to be on the right side of things for once, and even happier to find he’s not alone.


This story it's just so much fun to read. It's funny and bright and so entertaining, this going to fly by before you know it.

Harry and Draco are absolutely brilliant on this fic, and so is everybody involved on it; Hermione, Ron, George, Pansy, even Percy.

Harry is running for Minister, under protest, but it's because he has to. The politics and actions the ministry is taking are doing more damage than good, and so something has to change.

And you wouldn't think a comedy that is a lot about Ministry Politics and conspiracies (good ones) can be as fun as this, but it's true.

And there's of course the chemistry between Harry and Draco, their subtle way of flirting, the kisses, the glances, building around the story. It'll make you grin like mad, and you're going to find yourself cheering a lot for them.

Stories like this one are the reason why I love PG stories so much, because they make the characters and the plot shine.

Summary: To save himself and his family, Draco must disappear in plain sight—of Harry Potter, that is.


Written from Draco's POV, this author nailed his voice perfectly.

It starts right after the final Duel—Voldemort's fall, when Harry disappears under his Invisibility Cloak when Luna creates that distraction (I forgot what she says) and Draco follows him to talk.

The language is one of the things that struck me the most, because it's perfect for that moment in time, kind of bleak but very emotional at the same time. And it's just that the war has only ended, and the weight of everything that has happened is heaving on Draco and he needs to do something. And so he does.

He becomes a spy for the Order to help to round the Death Eaters that escaped after the battle. He didn't know, however, is that to do this he'd be wearing a Glamour and he'd be rooming with Harry Potter.

Their relationship, a friendship of sorts, develops beautifully, and the title of this piece is so very fitting, but not only because Draco feels he has something to re-pay, though there's certainly that, but also because the way it happens, it's like, it changes him, it makes him grow.

Another thing I loved about this story is the pace of it. It's not rushed. It moves naturally, and it gives Draco the opportunity to see all the little things about Harry he never knew, and it gives Harry the chance to open up to a seemingly stranger. It's lovely, really.

And oh! There's a moment, which refers on the warnings as an AU incident in HBP, which is a missing scene that I believe in my heart it really happened and makes this story even more complete. I loved that scene, how well written it was. Anyway, yes, I know you'll enjoy it.

Summary: Harry doesn't want to hear anything Draco Malfoy has to say, but ignoring him and all the letters he sends probably isn't the best idea he's ever had, all things considered.


I loved this story because Harry is absolutely irrational about all things involving Draco Malfoy. He's obsessed about Draco, regardless of not reading the many letters he's sent Harry and his driving himself (and Draco!) mad.

It's written in second person, and it works really well on this story.

One of the things I love the most is that finally Harry stops seeing Draco for who he was and sees him for who he is now. And it's brilliant.

Summary: Once a couple, Harry and Draco have gone their separate ways. Harry plays with fireworks, and Draco, well, Draco pretty much carries a torch for Harry.


This is one of those stories that since the very beginning you know it's going to be something special, something great.

Written from Draco's POV, this is his narration of the circumstances in which they broke apart many years ago, and how come his and Harry's job brought them back together.

It's lovely beyond words.

Summary: Draco returns to London to help the Ministry decipher a spell, but things aren’t quite as simple as they seem.


This story, I found, has a very good balance between the plots. In one hand, we have the mysterious spell Draco is working on, and on the other hand the development between Harry and Draco's relationship.

I love how very fallible both are here; they make mistakes and mess up, and at the same time they accept those mistakes, and learn from them.

The mystery of the spell, the nature of it, and how it unravels really touch Draco in a very personal way, it makes him so very human, because while dealing with all those emotions this brings to him, he allows himself to need Harry and be comforted by him.

Oh, and the sex… super hot. There's this blowjob scene… well, just read it and you'll know why I can't finish that sentence. ^^

It's an amazing story.

It's labelled AU in the sense that some secondary characters who should be alive are dead, and some who should be dead are alive. Also, there's a tiny bit of Draco/Blaise (non graphic).

Title: Broken Toy

Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 155,000 Approx.
Summary: After the war Harry’s not the same as he used to be. He has chosen the life of a recluse, although he is still famous, highly respected in the wizarding world, and honoured by the Ministry. His well-ordered life will be shaken by a reunion. Life will never be the same as before… (post HBP)
Warning(s): Violence, abuse, mentions of past non-con. (None of these between Harry and Draco)


This is such a gripping story, once I started I couldn't stop reading it.

The fic starts when Harry finds Draco working as a prostitute. He comes back looking for Draco and ends up buying Draco's contract from his pimp. But what Harry didn't know, is that in doing so he became Draco's owner. The story develops as we learn the extent of this "bond", this ownership, which is what it is, and the conspiracies behind such contracts. We learn everything Draco went through all these years and the consequences of all the exploitation he's suffered, how Draco came to be a whore, and we see Draco struggling with years of violence and abuse at the hands of his previous owners.

At the same time we have Harry, and Harry is a very complex character too. He has issues, many. He's still scarred about everything he went through during the war, he has problems controlling his magic and his temper, though he's very respected in the Magical World, and he's in denial about his sexuality, but it's not a blind denial, because he does acknowledge he is attracted to Draco. There is this incredible scene, the first time Draco touches Harry, and it's so bittersweet and sexy at the same time. My heart ached for Harry at that moment. It's gorgeous.

The title Broken Toy, I personally believe, it actually refers to both of them. Draco is broken, however, he's not broken in the sense that has no will and he's only a shadow of whom he used to be, he's still Draco Malfoy through and through, and it shows, but he's a damaged person who need someone to help him. And there's Harry, with many issues, who needs someone to love him.

Amidst all of this, they find each other, they truly find each other and at the end of the journey they find solace.

I also loved the way it was written, aside from this plot, which is so very engrossing, I really liked the writing itself, I loved the voice the author gave to both Harry and Draco.

As a note, there's Ginny bashing on this fic, and a bit of Weasley bashing (Fred, George and Ron, though Ron comes around). The story is mainly bottom Draco, but there are a couple of scenes with bottom!harry. I don't know why I mention it, I guess I know how important that's to some people, but in a 150K story one can hardly expect there's not switching, yeah? Still, there you go. ^^

Summary: Draco was resigned to being groped until his creepy co-worker was named his Department Head. Blaise assured him he needed a powerful lover to protect him. Draco agrees, just not the way Blaise wanted him to.


In which Draco is both manipulative and completely oblivious. And in which Harry is absolutely smitten yet confusing Draco.

This fic is funny and cute, and I adore that Draco doesn't realise he's Harry's boyfriend even though… well, read it and see! ^^

Title: Take What's Left of Me

Word Count: 23,000
Summary: One day Draco just left without saying a word, leaving Harry reeling. You’d think that after what Draco did, Harry could move on, but he can’t. When Astoria miscarries and Draco comes to him pleading for a baby, Harry can’t say no.
Warning(s): Mpreg, passing mention of multiple miscarriages, adoption issues & infertility issues; gory mpreg birth.


I'm going to say it right off: You're not going to love this Draco. He hurts Harry again and again, and your heart is going to break every time he does, just like Harry's. But the angst is delicious.

The warning on this fic says "Tissue-soaking angt", and she's not joking with that, but it also says "sappy mpreg ending", and she's not joking about that either. ^^

Title: Sex Ed for Aurors

Rating: R
Word Count: 9,000
Summary: Some things, you need to learn on the job.
Warning(s): mentions of food kink, spanking, rape drugs, and sex toys gone wrong.

Malfoy is maybe the most gorgeous thing Harry’s seen in his life, bright and shining and sex on legs. His hair looks soft and manic, mussed beyond repair, and Harry wants to feel it between his fingers while he licks Malfoy’s throat, wants to leave kisses that mottle Malfoy’s pale skin. Malfoy’s eyes are sharp as ever, don’t miss a trick these days, and his mouth’s still a clever, cutting thing, his persistent gitness honed by time, and Harry’s distantly sure there’s a reason he shouldn’t think these things, only it’s drowned out by the immediacy of need, the way his fingers itch to take hold.

That's probably all you need to read to read the rest of this fic. :) Well, that and knowing there's a potion involved. Enjoy!

Summary: Just how many times can you read the word sex?


Well, the title pretty much says it all. This is a story in which Harry denies he is gay, although it's pretty much undeniable, really. Specially since he wants into Draco's pants all the time, yeah? It's funny!

Title: On License

Summary: Following a terrible crime and four-and-a-half years in Azkaban, Draco Malfoy is granted early release and is placed on license with an innovative new programme through the Auror Office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Draco finds he doesn't know which is worse: Azkaban, or being under the legal supervision of Harry Potter. Even the most sacrosanct of boundaries can be breached.
Warning(s): Epilogue compliant. Infidelity; Risk Aware Consensual Kink (RACK); D/s power-play subtext; Rimming; Anal Sex; Come-play; Coarse language; Neglect towards duty by a person in a position of trust (warnings continue on the link to the story).


I know the warnings might seem too much, but honestly, they're mostly related to one scene. And you shouldn't let it stop you, because this fic is so good.

What this story is really about is about Draco being On License; on parole. He's committed a crime, a mistake, that he keeps calling, and for the longest time he's unable to face that fact, to truly face life knowing this "mistake" he made, cost someone's life. I'm not going to spoil you and tell you what he did, you'll learn that from Draco himself, but you will come to understand him fully.

Harry is his parole officer, and he's trying to help Draco. Mind you, it's not always a gentle prodding, he pushes Draco to face it, but you know, sometimes you have to face your mistakes in your own pace.

This fic is truly amazing, Draco and Harry are so human here; they are not perfect or evil, neither of them, both are trying in their own ways, to do what they have to do. It's not a romance or a love story, it's not meant to be one, but it's original, intense, real and poignant.
