Title: Never a Breath You Can Afford to Waste
Author:

Rating: PG 13
Word Count: 19,000
Summary: Harry’s with Neville for all the wrong reasons, but he just wants to coast through his carefree summer days after vanquishing Voldemort. An intriguing run in with an old rival sends his world where else? Upside down.

Draco has hit with an unknown spell, and now he's at St. Mungo’s in a closed ward. Harry sees him while accompanying Neville to visit his parents. However, he continues visiting Draco, helping with his treatment.

But when Draco 'awakes' from the spell he was under, things don't go as Harry expected. They go much worse.

It's Hurt/Comfort, and as such has a bit of angst and a bit of fluff.

This story has a bit of Harry/Neville at the beginning.

Summary: Injured in the line of duty, Harry wakes up in hospital. A story about pain, professionalism and falling in love.

Short and sweet, with the premise of Harry being hurt and Draco being his Healer, taking care of him.

Super cute.

Word Count: 25,000
Summary: Harry Potter disappears, taking a sick Teddy Lupin with him. While everyone searches for their missing hero, Draco's life continues as it always has. Rumors of curses and kidnapping don't interest him. As Hogwarts' guardian, he has only one concern: the strange, miraculous events occurring on the cliffs outside the castle walls.

This story is so beautiful. The prose alone is a work of art, truly. And added to that, it has Harry and Draco's characters written in such a compelling manner.

Such an unusual settling, too, for Draco, to be working as Hogwarts caretaker. And the descriptions of how he feels about the castle are amazing, too; how Hogwarts opened his arms to him, embraced him, forgave him, and guides him.

And there's Harry and Teddy, too, and the sacrifices they both are willing to make, and go through, to save the boy's life are so moving. The shifting into Harry's and Draco's relationship from when Draco finds them to the end are so subtle, they just move along with the story.

It's a gorgeous fic.

Title: Coming To Terms
Author:

rurounihime
Rating: R
Word Count: 16,300 Aprox.
Summary: Of all the lives in all the world, Harry had to own this one.
Warning(s): Mpreg.

This story is so unique, because you don't see Harry and Draco often in a situation like this, struggling with money issues, shitty work situations, and it seems that one things comes after the other and they just catch a break.

And on top of that, this pregnancy was neither planned nor expected nor wanted, as they are not in a relationship, so it really comes and throws everything skew.

But they learn and they grow, and even though it's very angsty, I assure you, it's not going to leave you with a hear ache.

Title: Obliviation

Word Count: 28,000 Aprox.
Summary: When Harry decides to quit Auror Training in order to care for young Teddy over the summer, he has quite enough to worry about without Pansy Parkinson dumping a mute Draco Malfoy on his doorstep.

I love this story. Draco has lost his memories (later we will find out how, and boy, isn't that unexpected!) and can't speak. He's living with Harry now, and Teddy, who Harry is raising.

Draco is going to melt your heart. He's stripped of all those prejudices that he was inculcated, and he's bared of the idea of who is he supposed to be. It sounds tragic, and it is, but it's just so sweet, to see him discovering himself without all those ideas, you just can't help to fall in love with him, and you know, neither can Harry.

Sweet, and lovely, and very tender.

Word Count: 7,800 Aprox.
Summary: War wounds are no reason to stop making fun of Potter.

I love some good Hurt/Comfort story, and this is one of my favourites.

Draco has been gravely wounded in battle, and there's Harry who won't leave him to hide behind those wounds.

There are some incredibly insights into Harry's character through Draco's observations of him that are just wonderful. And the sex scene is incredibly erotic.

A beautiful piece and also one of my all time favourites.

Title: Duration of Emptiness
Author:

fireelemental79
Rating: PG 13
Word Count: 29,000 Aprox.
Summary: Harry and Draco find themselves thrown together by Scorpius and Albus after the death of Draco’s wife and Harry’s divorce. Will Harry be able to help Draco through his grief? Or is Draco so mired in his own despair that Harry won’t be able to pull him out.
Warning(s): Epilogue compliant

This is a very dramatic story, not just about what Harry and Draco go through after Draco loses his wife and Harry's divorce, but also about what the children, all of them, go through during this time.

Draco in deep depression and Harry not quite knowing what to do, to help Draco and to figure out his own life. With Ginny who has been a total bitch about the whole thing.

I love Albus and Scorpius on this story. It's really them who bring their parents together, not exactly playing to matchmaking, not at all, but rather thinking that they could find solace in each other. I love Harry's relationship with them, too.

Title: The Curse
Author:

Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 25,000 Aprox.
Summary: Harry Potter stumbles upon Draco Malfoy one night. It’s a night that will change their lives forever.
Warning(s): Pre-Mpreg, Mention of rape.

Draco has been hit with Heir Curse, which enables to get pregnant, however, nobody, least of all Harry and Draco, expected for Harry to be recognised by the curse as the father, and now, they have to fulfil it.

This story makes my smutty heart happy. The attraction start through The Curse, but a month into trying to conceive, not even them can deny there's a lot more than just magic bounding them together.

I love this story, it's original and lots of fun to read. (The rape mention is just that, mention, nothing to scare puppies with .^^)

Title: Your Touch
Author:

spark_of_chaos
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 15,500
Summary: Touch is heaven and hell, pain and relief. Touch is deliberately caused. Or not? Can you distinguish love from hate, lust from indifference in the touch? Sometimes you don’t seem to know at all; can’t judge coincidence from intention; can’t trust yourself. You can only give in and let the fingers burn you, brand you, own you.

Written from Draco's POV, this story has an overconfident Harry and a very vulnerable Draco. And they are dancing around each other, in this relationship, not a sexual relationship, not at first anyway, and it's both confusing and enthralling at the same time.

It has some beautiful descriptions of Draco's feelings towards Harry. And it's very, very sensual.

Title: Unkissed Kisses and Songs Never Sung
Author:

Rating: R
Word Count: 12,600 Aprox.
Summary: I sit silently in the shadows, staring at the tiny, pulsing ball of light that tells me my Harry's still alive.

This story is almost devastating, but it's not. And the way it's written is brilliant.

It moves from the past to the present. Harry has been injured in the line of duty, and while Draco waits for Harry to wake up, the story moves back to when they started dating, and through the problems they had, the fears and finally the consolidating of their relationship that is facing the hardest moments of their lives. Written in a perfect Draco POV.

It's incredible touching, so so much, and beautiful.

Summary: Snape turns Draco into a ferret for his own protection. He would've been safer with the Dark Lord.
Warning(s): Mpreg, multiple beastialities, and Gryffindors.

You know, I'm laughing just remembering this story. Poor Draco.

It's truly all the misadventures of Draco Malfoy turned into ferret. A girl ferret at that, getting knocked up by another ferret and ending up under the care of the Golden Trio.

This fic is hilarious and crazy. You've been warned. ^^

Summary: Harry Potter has tried to move on with his life after Draco Malfoy walked away from him months before with little or no explanation, but it's been hard. Then, on a joyous day at the Burrow, Narcissa Malfoy makes an unexpected appearance.
Warning(s): Mpreg.

Dancing With Jamie (PG 13)
Lessons Learned (PG)
His Sister's Keeper (G)
Moving Mountains (G)
The Reluctant Hero (PG 13)
Love to Spare (R)

This is one of the sweetest Mpreg series I've read.

It started after Harry and Draco broke up, and Harry comes back to England only to find out Draco is pregnant. But, well, everybody has probably read this story, so you know this fic so much more than that. And the universe this writer has built around the first part is absolutely lovely.

Word Count: 52,000 Aprox.
Summary: Harry doesn't have a hero complex, he just really wants to help. However, he gets more than he bargained for after rescuing Draco Malfoy from an isolation cell in Saint Mungo's
Warning(s): Sexual content, slash, suicide references, swearing, and spooning.

This story is truly a journey.

Harry finds Draco at St. Mungo's, after he's made an attempt to end his life and they both learn that sometimes it's not enough saving someone life from a fire, sometimes what a person needs is for you to offer your hand, and be there when they are down.

However, nothing is simple when it comes to Harry and Draco, and once Draco has moved in with Harry, they learn to know each other, and love their strengths and yes, also their weakness and work on their insecurities.

It's a lovely story, very touching with a beautiful ending.

Title: The Fortunate Fall
Author:

Rating: R
Word Count: 28,000 Aprox.
Summary: Draco's sure he suffered an irreplaceable loss at the end of the war. Harry's not.

After the war, Draco was attacked. He's left permanently scarred on his face, and in his grief he becomes a recluse in his own home, away from the wizarding world. Until one day Harry Potter makes his way back into Draco's life and teaches him there's a lot to live for.

What I like about this story is its pace. It's very slow. Changes don't happen over night. It's not like Draco is open and one day he's insecure and the next he's all confident. It takes time and patience for him to understand that he can love and be loved in return.

Summary: It was truly barbaric in a way, the things war taught you to miss.
Warning(s): Character death, not Harry or Draco (or graphically described either).

This fic is what Hurt/Comfort is all about.

If it doesn't make your eyes wet, man, you're made of stone. It's so incredibly touching.

I love this story because even though it's shortish, it says so much about Harry and Draco's relationship.

It's lovely.

Summary: Fluffy, post-war H/D - that's all - and extra points for veela!boy too!

Draco fancies himself a Veela, and Harry as his mate. Harry doesn't mind.

This is so funny and sweet. I love it when Draco is kind of crazy like this.

Word Count: 44,400 Aprox.
Summary: Years after Voldemort's death and the end of the war, a lonely and alienated Harry Potter decides to take in a lodger. The result isn't quite what he anticipated. He has more in common with his new housemate than he expected, and together they learn to look life – and the wizarding world - in the face again.

As the summary says, Harry's lonely life changes after he decides to take in a lodger. But it's so much more than that.

This is Harry pretending. Harry pretending he is okay, pretending he is happy, pretending he doesn't love the person he loves, and he needs help, in this case, helps and care and understanding come from an unexpected source.

A very touching, and very sweet story.

It goes AU after GoF.

Summary: Christmas has long been the season of miracles, which is a very good thing when you find yourself in need of one.

A very dramatic story about lost, and love, and sacrifice.

It's Harry and Draco at one of the hardest moment of their lives, but as it often happens at difficult times, it brings the best in people, and so it does on this fic. And I so love protective Harry.

This fic is almost like a Round Robin, each author gave the story a little twist and a different touch, and yet it flows naturally.

It's the story from the moment Harry's pregnant through all the difficulties they had in their road to becoming parents.

Title: Harry Woke Up

Rating: R
Word Count: 74,000 Aprox.
Summary: Harry and Draco find themselves in the most difficult challenge they've ever faced. Neither expected to be stuck with their former arch enemy, nor did they expect something so simple as living together to cause them so many problems...

Harry's blind and Draco is deaf, and on this story we truly get a glimpse of how hard it is to live with a disability. They are sharing a room in an experimental treatment. And you would think that living with someone who has also lost a sense would be easy, but it's not, it makes everything harder, what with the history between them.

It's not until they are apart that they come to realise just how much the other's presence meant for them.

Title: Stormy Horizons

Summary: Draco is less than pleased when an unexpected house-guest shows up in the middle of the night.

This is story is going to hook you up from the start. It's really interesting and funny from the beginning when Harry just shows up at Draco's doorstep asking if he could stay the night, which turn into many nights. You can understand Draco's reaction a la "wtf?" because, really? In the middle of the night Harry's asking for asylum.

It' funny and mysterious (I mean, where does Harry go, and why does he come back so messy?) and there's jealousy and UST, which is ultimately resolved.

Word Count: 49,800
Summary: I thought I had already hit the lowest point in my life, but as the universe seems intent on proving, I was wrong. The only thing that could possibly make this worse is Potter. And more Muggles.
Warning(s): Drug use, attempted rape, violence, angst

After the war Draco has been sentenced to live without magic, as a Muggle. And it's so raw and painful because it's incredibly real.

He's just thrown into a tiny flat without knowing *anything*, he doesn't know how to turn the lights on, or how to dress like a Muggle, or how Muggles heat their food. Hell, he doesn't even know where they get food from.

It's not a funny story. Draco is alone, and scared, and helpless, and he doesn't know how to survive. It's a journey.

It has a bit of a difficult start, because it's not easy to read. It's a hopeless tone about it at the beginning, but I promise, once you get past it, this story is incredible.

It's by pure chance that he meets Harry, and Harry, he's incredible here. Even though Draco is scared and alone, he is still Draco Malfoy, and he acts and reacts, and he's thorny and prickly, but he needs Harry to help him, and he comes to accept that.

Draco grows in this story. Like I said, it's a journey, and it's really amazing.

Summary: In the last week of Draco's pregnancy, he and Harry remember what brought them here and try to figure out where to go afterwards.
Warning(s): Mpreg.

It's a nice and sweet story about pregnancy. Draco is on bedrest, and in the meantime Harry's remembering how they came to be together, all those years back at Hogwarts, and how they came to be together again, after the war.

It's a bit AU, because Snape lives, and omg, Draco's not blond (what? Seriously, but it's only a tiny bit, then you can forget about it^^).

Summary: The prenatal mediwitch ended the visual cacophony of spells which had hovered over Harry's prone form; the small swell of his stomach was a world unto itself.

Harry is pregnant, and he's having complications, in the meantime Draco and his friends and family are doing everything they can to make Harry comfortable, but Draco's mind is going back to how their story started. Lovely.

Summary: A potions mishap has Harry and Draco meeting on entirely new—or is it old?—ground.

A de-aging story, in which Draco is taking care of a ten years old Harry while working on reversing the effects of the potion that turned him. And it's so very sweet, because Harry doesn't know about magic, and Draco is teaching him, telling him things, and so they learn about each other.

It also has some pretty incredible insights into Draco's character that just kill me.

This is a lovely story.

Summary: In a burst of unexplained magic, Harry Potter’s Auror partner Draco Malfoy has simply disappeared. Frantic with worry, terrified that something really terrible has happened to the other man, Harry realizes that what he feels for him just might be more than friendship.

I love this story. I love it because I like it when one of them realises those friendshipy feelings he has were a lot more stronger than he wanted to see, and I love it when he makes the right move in the right moment and the other reacts in the best of ways, and this fic is like that. And is super hot. So yeah, love it x times over.

Title: Under The Ivy

Rating: PG 13
Word Count: 4,000 Aprox.
Summary: It is impressive how much you can learn about someone by simply sharing a few rooms. They don't spend time together, not really, but Harry still knows that Malfoy prefers raspberry jam over strawberry, that he hums along to the Wireless when he thinks no one is around, and that his leg is bothering him more than usual when the temperatures drop below freezing.

This story it's what hurt/comfort is all about. As short as it is, it's almost like a landmark on the genre, and one of my favourite disability fics.

Title: Draco In Darkness
Author: Plumeria
Rating: PG 13
Word Count: 39,000 Aprox.
Summary: Following an accident in his seventh year, Draco loses his eyesight. After Harry elbows his way into Draco's dark world, both boys find themselves in a strange new friendship, and they each learn new ways to see each other … and themselves.

This story is a classic. It was popular nearly ten years ago when it was first written, and people are still reading it and loving it now. And with reason.

This is a very beautiful story. After a Quidditch accident Draco loses his sight, when he comes back to school he stops relating to people and Harry feels guilty, well, you know Harry, and so he seeks Draco. A true friendship is born, and from there, they discover so much about themselves.

It's a very gentle story, the pace and the progression is slow and very sweet.
