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.

Title: Lush Life or at AO3 and Home Again, Home Again or at AO3

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.

Title: Chaos Theory

Word Count: 102,000 Approx.
Summary: Chaos: when the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future. One gene varies, one neuron fires, one butterfly flaps its wings, and Draco Malfoy's life is completely different. Draco has always found a certain comfort in chaos. Perhaps he shouldn't.
Content/Warning(s): Magical AU (canon divergence), Genius Draco, kidnapping, torture, gore (see more at story, please!)

This story is so, so amazing.

It's AU, Ravenclaw!Draco, genius!Draco (and if you're anything like me, you're going to fall in love with him and his mind), in which he changes history as we know it when in first year it's him two ventures past the locked door in the third floor. He meets Harry, but even before he realises he's met him, he feels such a fierce protectiveness towards Harry, which is amazing.

Harry becomes Draco's first friend, and seeing this happening; their friendship turning into something so much more it's so sweet and so lovely. There are all these beautiful moments, there's UST but it's so much more than that, it's about love, you know?

There's mentor!Snape (to both Harry and Draco), but there's also danger coming, because Voldemort is coming back, that's no different, in fact, it's more terrible than ever.

I'm going to cut here in case you want to read it without knowing a little more.

Draco does incredible things to protect Harry, and it's while trying to save him that he's trapped and tortured when he takes Harry's place in the Thrid Task in the Triwizard Tournament.

I know some of these tags and warnings [in the fic] can be scary, but it's such a great story. Something to note is that the ~scary part~ doesn't begin until roughly half the story, and when it's about to start, you're warned, and if you want to skip it, the author has written a guide of what happens during the harder-to-read chapters and tells you in which chapter you can keep reading without having missed anything relevant to the plot, however, after having read it, I can tell you that the gory parts, the torture parts, aren't really that long, as in, while Draco spends part of the time under the Imperius, the graphic descriptions of the torture (and all he's forced to do) doesn't expand to the rest of the story, only a few chapters.

It's really a story of love and sacrifices, at times it's hard to read (previously mentioned) but the ending is so beautiful, it's worth it. Brilliant.

Summary: Harry asks for Draco's help in finding a birthday gift for Narcissa. Draco doesn't suspect ulterior motives. Until he does.
Content/Warning(s): Hung!Harry, dirty talking, oral, fingering.

This is incredible. You might think I'm a bit biased because my best friend wrote it for me and tailored to my tastes (:D:D), but I'm telling you, this is amazing.

It's got Harry sneaking into Draco's routine asking for help to buy Narcissa a gift (of all things!) but he really wanted into Draco's buttoned robes.

And it's gorgeous. There's hung!Harry, and fingering and dirty talking, and the sex is sexy and smoking hot, slow and intense but then fast and consuming and it'll leave you a bit speechless, just like it leaves Draco. Delicious.

Summary: It’s like Cinderella, only Draco’s arse is the shoe left behind, and he’s searching for the perfect prick that fits.

You'd think with that summary this story is cracky, but it's not, it's actually pretty sweet. :D

The thing is, ages ago Draco had this wild night – his first time, too! – and found what he believes it's his perfect fic. A guy with the perfect cock who made him saw starts. Since them every man he's ever been with hasn't measured up. And now, years later, being close friends with Harry Potter, he's still looking for that someone.

How Harry enters into this story? Well. Read it and find it out. It's super sweet and fun and sexy. ^^

Summary: Harry rescues Draco Malfoy from Azkaban, where he has been imprisoned for three years after the war. Draco is not as Harry remembers, as Azkaban leaves its mark on even the strongest of wizards. With no memory of who he was or how he came to be in Harry's care, Draco needs Harry's help if he is to have any hope of making a full recovery. But Harry has his own demons to fight and together with saving Draco, Harry must also discover a way to find himself.
Content/Warning(s): Mildly Dubious Consent

This is such a beautiful story. Gosh, it's going to take you in a rollercoaster of emotions.

As the summary says, the story is about Harry saving Draco from Azkaban, who instead of being there the one year he was supposed, he was imprisoned for three years and placed in complete isolation. And from then on, we live with both Harry and Draco the hard road to recovery, because, again, as the summary says, Draco has lost all his memories, he's locked himself in a place in his mind he feels safe, and leaving the comfort of his cell and his routine is traumatising.

In one hand we have Draco trying to cope with these changes, all these little mechanisms that help him (OCDs), and little by little, he start reacting to Harry. And then we have Harry, trying to hard to do well by Draco, to help him, find him treatment, comfort him, and working through his own issues as well -- for Harry is something of a recluse himself, and ultimately falling in love.

And the thing is, them falling in love with each other seems it's happening from the beginning, because they find comfort in each other. It's hard for Harry, because Draco doesn't remember anything, and then it's harder still when Draco finally does.

But don't worry. It's beautiful, it's gorgeous, see them healing together and apart, it's such a beautiful ride, painful at moment, but worth every second.

This story has beautiful illustrations by iwao. Most are safe for work, though there are a couple of steamy one that you're just going to love, but every single one gorgeous and make this story even more beautiful.

Content/Warning(s): elements of dub-con


This fic, well, it's hot, okay? Really hot.

It starts with Harry kind of ambushing Draco and having his way with him. Only, soon we learn this is what they do. They jump into each other when the other is least expecting and, well. But this time it's not enough for Harry. He wants Draco too badly and wants to have him again, and for that, he strikes a deal, which I'm not going to tell you about because then I'll kind of ruin it for you, just know it's hot all over again. :D

Summary: Some things seem destined to be, in spite of anniversary celebrations, running into people in halls, and lunch dates. Or maybe because of them.

This is such a sweet, lovely fic.

It starts when Draco returns to London after a few years living abroad, it so happens he runs into Harry in the anniversary celebration of the end of the war. And then Harry keeps running into Draco (quite literally, actually ^^) again and again, until, you know, it stops being an accident and it becomes a thing they do, until one day Harry doesn't show up, and Draco gets worried. And it's just so sweet and cute!

The writing it's lovely, the characterisations are a darling and you'll love Harry and Draco both here. Read it, will leave you with a big smile on your face. :)

This is a super cute fic. It starts when Harry's neighbour calls him to tell him there's a big bird nesting on his tree, and once Harry investigates he founds the birds is none other than a winged Draco Malfoy who has nowhere else to go, one thing leads to another and so Harry asks him to stay.

Summary: Seven months after the end of the war, Harry is feeling lost. Fortunately, he is about to be offered an unexpected and sparkling chance to find himself again.

This is such a beautiful story. It's Sara's Girl Advent story and it happens in 25 days.

We see Harry and Draco from being distant even indifferent to each other, to see them fighting, to see them put in charge (as a punishment for the fighting) of the breeding of frost snails, these amazing, lovely creatures, to see them become friends, to finally see them becoming so much more than that. We see them grow, coming together and being close, being lovers, going through a lot; healing together, and it's truly gorgeous.

It's a journey of discovery, or emotions, of personal growth. Beautiful.

Content/Warning(s): Magical AU, Disney's Aladdin

This story is just so enchanting. It's like a magical adaptation of Disney's Aladdin, in which Harry is Aladdin, Draco is Jasmine, Hermione the faithful sidekick, and Snape is the grumpiest djin ever. ^^

Oh! And there Cloak, who, aside from being ~invisible can also fly!

So yes, there's Harry, a ~riffraff wanting to go into the city, and with Hermione, they mange, they go pretending to be servants of the palace and meets Draco, who Harry doesn't know just yet is the prince, until he does, and then, of course, he goes to jail until Tom Riddle in disguise frees Harry on the condition he goes into the Lion's cave and retrieves a lamp. And so the story unfolds.

And it's super fun and exciting. Read it. You'll love it.

Summary: Draco and Harry have been flatmates and best friends for years, and Draco thinks like is just perfect that way. But when something comes along and threatens to take all that away, Draco has to decide what it is he really wants, and just how hard he's going to work to get it.

This fic has so many FEELS. Oh yes, it does.

It starts with Harry and Draco becoming friends in their 8th year at Hogwarts. They get so close by the end, best friends, that they decide to share a flat afterwards. But you see, it's not just friends, they do everything together, but it seems Harry isn't completely happy, so he decides to go away for a while, a trip to America with Ron and Hermione and Ginny, and when he returns, he tells Draco he met someone and he's going to marry this other man.

And Draco, god, Draco doesn't know what to do, it's like, his whole world goes upside down and it's after he meets this ~character~ Harry's about to marry, and boy, he hates him with a passion, that he realises why. Why nothing was right while Harry was away, and why he hates his Jackson dude.

And he has to do something. But is it the right thing? Is it going to work? Will it be too late? What will Harry do?

Oh god, there's delicious pining, there's amazing sex (so hot!), there's banter and friendship, and it's all amazing. The ending is gorgeous. :D
