Content/Warning(s): Non Magical AU.

I so love a good Muggle AU, and this fic is amazing and man, it's smoking hot. I mean, Harry is absolutely delicious in every way. The sex is out of this world. I mean it, God.

But let me start at the beginning. ^^ Yes, as the summary says, Draco is in America and yes his car breaks down in a very lone road. But don't worry, someone comes to his aid: Neville Longbottom (who has a knife and kills a snake and is awesome all around), who eventually takes Draco to the local mechanic, who turns to be Harry. And yes, I said it before but, trust me, it bears repeating: he's the hottest thing every written. :D He's sweaty and rough around the edges and sexy and Draco is absolutely taken with him, and more exciting still, it's mutual. The sexual tension!!

Then we find out what Draco is doing in America and who is he looking for and we learn Harry is the person Draco ultimately needs to talk. The plot is excellent. And the sexual tension is even more so. I adore that the sex is good, but you can tell something special is happening between them. It's amazing. I'd love to quote part of the fic for you, but I don't want to ruin the surprise, read it! :D

Summary: Harry isn't really a wine-drinker, but this evening might change his mind.

There's such lovely smut in this fic! :D And, really, it's lovely all around. It turns out George, Harry and Draco were supposed to have dinner to celebrate the end of a project, only George doesn't show up and Harry and Draco start drinking wine. There's an awful lot of flirting (so much flirting!), sexual tension and that promised hot smut I told you about. ^^

Summary: It should be careful, deliberate, but it isn't. Like every other part of their relationship, it happens gradually and then all at once, before they even realize it. And when the little blue threads bind them together, there's no going back.
Content/Warning(s): BDSM, Dom/sub, painplay


This story is so good, so hot, so incredibly hot! Though I guess before I should add a disclaimer of sorts. I personally know very little of the BDSM lifestyle, so I can't speak for non-fictional accuracy, but in my humble opinion, it was incredible.

It starts when Blaise, who owns a sex club, invites Draco to be his investor, he takes Draco to see the club, and god, Draco's reactions to everything he sees, this completely unknown world to him, are so intriguing and tempting. And it's in this same club he meets Harry, Harry who is an experienced Dom. And Draco wants, and let me tell you, Harry wants just as badly. Only at first Draco doesn't want to admit it, doesn't want to acknowledge, and it's Harry's job to make him see it means everything.

It's hot, super hot, but it's more than that, the way their relationship evolves from those first times when Draco wasn't sure what he wanted, to fully trusting Harry, giving himself and admitting this is something. Delicious. Yessss.

Summary: The last time Draco sees Harry, they’re on platform nine and three-quarters, and that last night in the Astronomy Tower feels so very far away. The first time Harry sees Draco again, it’s five years later, and that same night feels like yesterday. A story of Harry and Draco’s second (and first) chance.


This story is lovely and emotional. It kind of says two stories at the same time.

One is about Harry and Draco's first time, back in their 8th year, how it started, when it was all rushed and exciting and confusing, and it also says the story of their second time, after seeing each other for the first time after several years, and how they feelings haven't changed. It's beautiful and touching and sexy. God, so many amazing moments. You'll love it.

Summary: I can’t help but wonder if Potter’s really as fine as he claims to be. There’s something strange about seeing the vanilla hero of the wizarding world eye-fucking someone across a crowded bar before slipping off into the shadows - Draco Malfoy escapes to the Muggle world to avoid his parents, memories of the war and Harry Potter. However, some things prove harder to escape than others as Draco realises when his favourite Muggle haunt is rudely invaded by a post-war Harry who is struggling to cope with grief, growing up and the battle with his inner demons.
Content/Warning(s): Mentions of using sex and drugs as a coping mechanism

This story is just amazing. God. As the summary says, after the war Draco escapes to the Muggle world. He finds a place where, well, it's not that he "fits", but it's a place where no one cares about his past, where no one looks at him with scorn, where he can lose himself and be anyone or no one.

However, everything changes when Harry start showing to the same club Draco is used to going. And Harry is so different than Draco expected. He looks free, untroubled. But nothing is as simple as that, because Harry in his own way, he's running away, too, hiding from his own problems and grief, and eager to lose himself.

Only they find each other, they talk, and whatever misconception they have of the other, once they start knowing, really knowing each other, they realise maybe they are not so different after all and maybe together, they can heal and move on.

Trust me, it's gorgeous, the way Draco reacts to Harry, the way he starts wanting him and Harry Draco, is incredible. It's intense and sexy, and yeah, it's hard at times, making yourself vulnerable but God, it's gorgeous to see it happening. I'm telling you, amazing.

I'm using the 'drug use/addictions' tag, but it's as the author's warnings say, sex and drugs are used as a coping mechanism, this is not an addiction story, I'm just being cautious. ^^

Summary: After months of seeing Harry Potter walk into his Apothecary disappointed and hopeless, Draco offers to carry the baby that Harry can't. Now he's just got to hide the fact that he's been half in love with Harry for years.
Content/Warning(s): Mpreg: Draco

This story is so, so beautiful. It starts when Harry comes to Draco's shop for a fertility Potion to help get pregnant. They start a tentative friendship but after seeing Harry month after month trying to conceive without success Draco offer to carry for him. And god, it's so full of feels. At first Harry says no, but it's not because he doesn't want to, but because he wants them to get to know each other better, but Draco, having had feelings for Harry for half his life, is so, so hurt. He never counted on Harry being so stubborn, on Harry never giving up, never counted on falling in love deeper and deeper.

It's gorgeous, once they start spending time together, planning, knowing each other, and God, that first time they are together, it's beautiful and sexy and perfect. It's more than them trying to have a baby, it's undeniable there's something more there, for Draco, for both of them.

Beautiful story from beginning to end.

Summary: It started off so simple: sex whenever they wanted it, with no further expectations. But life has a funny way of turning everything up on its head.
Content/Warning(s): Mpreg: Draco

This story is a delight. As the summary implies, Harry and Draco have is nothing serious. They've been having sex for a couple of months and it's been fun, just that. Only now Draco's found out he's pregnant, and there's a whole new sets of responsibilities that come, including how to deal with that in their eighth year. It's fun and sexy and very lovely.

Note: Though the on-screen sex is all bottom!Draco, it implies bottom!Harry off screen, too. :)

Summary: Love is a choice; Draco made his long ago.
Content/Warning(s): Dub-con, Mpreg: Draco.

This story is great. The thing is, during Draco's trial Harry learns that Draco can carry children and to save him from Azkaban he tells the Wizengamot Draco is his lover, and after Draco is released they bond.

It's a bit angsty, because this is definitely not the life Draco pictured for himself, but then, the life he pictured for himself was never going to be after the war. It's not easy for Draco, living with Harry, being bonded – married – to Harry, a near stranger in many ways. But there are so many feelings in between, ones that neither are ready to face, not at first, not for a long time.

This is a story about choices. It's about Harry and Draco's life, and how what started as a lie became happiness. It's lovely.

Summary: Draco Malfoy has just had his fortieth birthday, is currently editor of a soft porn gay men’s magazine published in the U.S., is the author of a no-holds-barred tell all of his life as a former rentboy, and is perfectly happy. Uh, not really perfectly happy, because we wouldn’t have much of a story, now would we? Enter one Harry Potter.
Content/Warning(s): Mention of past escort!Draco.

These two stories are sequel to Lettered (recced here).

After Lettered we don't quite know what happened, what was the choice Draco made. This is when we start to find out. Draco went to exile, and has been living abroad for twenty-two years. Hasn't seen Harry or heard anything about him. He started a new life. He was a high-class escort for a while, but now he's living in New York, and is editor of a successful gay magazine which is going to start publishing a UK version and he'll fly to London for the launch.

Soon after the announcement of Lush for the UK, he starts receiving emails from an anonymous person asking for advice, because he only just saw the man he loved and left him many years ago. Here we see them trying to figure out, re-knowing each other and see if what they had so long ago can work, learning what has happened with each other's lives after all these years. They are still madly in love, but there's so much between them, is love enough for them to get past their past?

Home Again, Home Again, is a little more dramatic in the sense that Harry was kidnaped, and we see all Draco goes through trying to find who did it and trying to find Harry, but at the same time we learn how their relationship has been so far, the ups and downs, the difficulties they've gone through to make their relationship work.

They are both amazing. When I started reading Lettered (I read all these in two days), I didn't even know it came with two 20K sequels, but the writing, the stories, everything, kept me glued to me seat, loving every word and wanting very badly for them to work. The characterisations are that amazing. God.

Though the sex scene is bottom!Draco, switching is implied.

Note: There's a podfic for the story "Lush Life" read by raitala, which is absolutely amazing. If you want to listen to it, here's raitala's Podcast Page where you can find all the stories she's read. And here's Lush Life part 1 & 2. Enjoy!

Summary: Harry is a drug addict, and helping him proves more difficult than Draco initially thought.
Content/Warning(s): Drug addiction, drug usage, referenced rape (not between Harry and Draco), non-con due to drug use (not between Harry and Draco), violence, language, sex


This story is just heart-aching, it's so visceral and real, it's incredible.

As the summary says, Harry is a drug addict, and at first Draco tries to help him for selfish reasons, he didn't truly know anything about addictions, but then he starts to see how afflicted Harry really is, how bad and deep his addiction runs. It breaks the heart. Of course, it stops about being Draco's reasons and it's all about helping Harry, trying to help him, and discover again and again how far Harry's fallen into this.

I'm telling you, it's amazing. Yes, it hurts, it hurts so bad for Harry, for Draco, but read it, it's amazing, it's real and the ending is wonderful.
