Summary: Harry didn’t ask for Malfoy to walk into his shop after so many years. But one event leads to another, and soon they’re scrambling to help Hermione find the solution to one of the most insidious viruses the wizarding world has ever seen. To make matters worse, Malfoy’s hiding something, and Harry really wants to kiss him—except Malfoy doesn’t date. Ever.
Content/Warning(s): Creature fic Veela, Bonding fic.

This is such an amazing fic. It's so creative! You see, it's been years since Harry and Draco have interacted. In fact, the last time was back at Hogwarts in Eighth Year when they kissed. It was—well, it was amazing, even after all these years Harry hasn't forgotten how it felt. But Draco has been avoiding him ever since.

That is until recently, when unknowingly to Draco goes into Harry's shop and, well, there's a spark. Almost literally, but the thing is, even if all those feelings that Harry had are still alive, Draco is very clear on something: he doesn't date. Harry's curious about why is it, they’ve been spending time together and Draco obviously enjoys it, too. After more ~dates~ that aren't dates, finally Draco comes clean and tells him he's part Veela, and he has a mate, but he doesn't want to be mated. Harry is. . . Harry has a lot of complicated emotions about this, but one thing he knows, he wants to be with Draco however possible, so they start this relationship, this unique relationship where they are so invested, their feelings for each other are clear and yet never taking that one step they obviously want.

As their relationship progress we learn there's a new virus targeting Purebloods, draining their magical core and one by one, people close to Harry start getting sick. But don't worry! Hermione is one of the Healers in charge.

Like I said, it's super creative and Harry and Draco's interaction are full of love and want. So good!

Summary: When Harry and Draco discover they’ve been bonded to one another, neither one of them is prepared for the secrets they begin to uncover. // They learn that they can’t escape their past, or the things that have been left hidden there, and that sometimes the only way to move forward is to look back.

bonding!Fic is awesome! This fic starts just as Harry and his unlikely Auror Partner one Blaise Zabini are sent in a very, very boring mission to monitor an old Muggle building, but the thing, just as Harry is there, out of the blue he feels sick and passes out.

Of course nothing is just simple when it comes to Harry, is it. His Healer informs him she's found traces of a bonding spell in Harry that had been doormat all this time. The nature of the bond is a mystery, but pretty soon we learn that, yes, Harry is bound to Draco, as soon as Blaise mentions Draco Harry feels the urge to go to him.

Eventually they discover they've started to share dreams, only to realise they aren't dreams, they are remembering things. . . It's a mystery to solve, all the time Harry and Draco can't be apart, and of course neither make it easy for the other, at the beginning, but soon they see each other under a different light as they try to unravel how they got bonded all those years ago, and what the dreams of them interacting at Hogwarts mean. Super cool fic, beautiful trio dynamic and rich characterisations. :)

Summary: Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.

When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?


Ohh, this fic! :D It's slow-burn like you hear about it! But there's a lot, a lot of interactions between Harry and Draco because for starters, McGonagal, to promote inter-house unity decides to mix Gryffindor and Slytherin and Harry ends up, yep, a Slytherin, rooming with Draco and Blaise (Blaise is absolutely brilliant!), Greg (also so cool), and Nott (also—you know the characterisations in general in this fic are pretty damn fantastic). But more so, Harry's wildly popular. Imagine Harry's worst nightmare popularity-wise post war, and there's this reporter, in an attempt to write the story of his life decides to cast a soulmark spell on Harry and find our who is his, you know, destined soul-bound person. You know what I mean. ^^

Only the spells hits also Draco and Ron and Hermione and they all get their soul-mate's names written in their bodies. And let me tell you, Draco is so not very thrilled when the name that appears on his chest is Harry's. But wait! That's not all, Harry—poor dear Harry, he doesn't have a name written anywhere, which is pretty distressing because, doesn't Harry get to be happy and have a soulmate?

So then they try to find a counter-spell while Harry deals with not having a soulmark while falling in love with Draco, basically, only he's in total denial on that one. ;) It's so super!

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 Draco knits, Harry makes wands, and things get very tangled up between them.
Content/Warning(s): Dom!Draco, sub!Harry, light bondage, kink exploration, dubious consent, accidental bonding – see more at the post, they are so yum!

This story is so amazing, it was such a slow, intense built up and so much UST. But first let me tell you a bit more about it. ^^ Harry is a wandmaker, he works in an Ollivanders branch in Hogsmeade and his shop is right next to Draco's. Draco, on the other hand works with Millicent and Marcus, on a yarn shop (sorry, you know what I mean? Selling wool? Non English speaker here ^^), and let me tell you, there are the most awesome yarn you can imagine in his shop. The thing is, his wand hasn't been functioning properly since Harry returned it so when he meets Harry they agree for Harry to see what the problem might be, and while it seems like Harry fixed Draco's wand, something happened – an explosion of magic! – and now they are bounded by Draco's magic and his wand, and they don't know how to fix it.

This means they have to spend time together, but it's so much more than that, because the bond demands they get closer, like, really close (er, sexually, OK??), and while at first they aren't happy about this, they fight against it, there's this undeniable attraction between them, and as time passes they start to realise that maybe it's not only because of the bond. And they have to face that, and also have to face what would happen when and if the bond breaks.

It's brilliant, truly, because each touch, each kiss (omg, those kisses) is so intense, and you can see the building attraction becoming so much more than an unwanted bond.

Also, while the warnings say Dom!Draco and sub!Harry, etc, this isn't a BDSM story, though there are elements to it.

Summary: Funny how in the absence of his room mate, he begins finding mysterious feathers in unusual places. It might also be funny that he seems to be hoarding them.
Content/Warning(s): Creature fic: Veela

This is a lovely story in which Harry and Draco are roommates, only Harry doesn't see Draco all that much lately. What he does see though are these feathers. At first Harry thinks these feathers are some sort of mysterious ingredient for Draco's Potions, so he's saving them for Draco, but the truth is, he's hoarding the feathers because he loves them, the scent and feel of them.

In the meantime, Draco has been avoiding Harry, but he has no idea he's been leaving feathers behind. ^^

Of course, eventually Harry confronts Draco about his absence and avoidance of him, and ultimately about the feathers. :D Fun, sweet and lovely.

Summary: Harry was going back to school. He was going to play Quidditch, sleep in lessons, hang out with his friends, and generally just enjoy being a kid for a change. And he was also going to do it while being bonded with Malfoy, because apparently life was just going to continue throwing curveballs at him. Harry didn't know why he expected anything different.

Bonding!fic, and it's wonderful. The story starts when Draco, in lieu of finishing his sentence in Azkaban takes the second option, of being bonded to a guardian who will monitor the rest of the time he's supposed to be imprisoned. And he asks for this guardian to be one Harry Potter.

After Harry realises the power someone could have over Draco and how they could abuse that power finally agrees to do the bond.

But of course things change, after they start spending all their time together, after they start knowing each other better, it's different when it's just the two of them, differnt and wonderful, but yet, each think it's the nature of the bond that's made their feelings change.

I don't want to say anything else, but yes, read it, it's lovely. :D

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.

I'll let your imagination fill in the rest, but you should read it, it's sweet and funny and cute. :D

Summary: It is said that...sometimes the worst idea in the world is the best option you've got. Draco has no other alternative. It's been ten years since the war and he's flat broke. He only has one choice, and there's only one man that can help him.

This is such an original story. Written from Draco's POV, who's going through a very hard time; has practically nothing, so when someone suggests for him to become a human canvas -- a oeuvre for a tattoo artist, he thinks this is one change to survive and maybe even take back at bit of what his.

And of course, it's quite a surprise to learn the tattoo artist is Harry, and even if the contract (and bond) that comes with becoming a human canvas feels restrictive at times, Draco signs it and goes to live under Harry's roof. At first Draco has all sorts of conflicted feelings about it, but at least he feels safe. And then there's Harry, who seems so cool and distant at first, but as Draco's feelings start changing towards Harry, starts making a life in Harry's world and the tattoo shop, so changes his perception, because he starts seeing Harry, knowing him, loving him. And when Harry finally opens up to him, it's beautiful.

Summary: Harry hasn’t seen Draco for over fifteen years, but now he’s showing up everywhere and Harry is sort of weirdly attracted to him, but that can’t be right?
Warning(s): Creature Fic [Veela]

As the summary says, this story starts with Harry, who is coming out of a rather, not messy, but dramatic divorce, starts meeting Draco after many years. Suddenly he starts running into him or rather, they run into each other in the most unlikely places, and it's always by coincidence, but soon they learn there's a connexion between them, something pulling them together, but when they learn the nature of this bond, well, they fight it, they refuse it, and they even try to break it.

I'm not going to tell you what happens then! ^^ But I'll tell you this story is super intense, and the sex (there's dirty talking!!) is delicious. The Veela twist is very original.

Summary: Harry finds his comfortable life taking a turn he never expected when he becomes the father of Draco Malfoy's child.
Warning(s): Mpreg

This is such an amazing story. It's got so many feels. In one hand we have Harry, who has had such a hard life, who lost a baby before he was born, he's still suffering that lost, longing for a family, in a marriage that while is comfortable it stopped bringing joy to his life.

And in the other hand we have Draco coming out of an abusive relationship, pregnant with a child that he didn't plan. Both their lives take a turn when they make a Vow, so Draco will give his child to Harry, and Harry will provide support and ensure Draco's well-bring during his pregnancy.

But this will throw off balance Harry's life, will force him to really see his life and make a choice between what's comfortable and happiness. This journey is so touching, there are great characterisations of Luna and Hermione, and both Harry and Draco are amazing.

Summary: One year after being accidentally bonded to each other, Harry and Draco are free to move on with their lives. But perhaps, what they needed was here all along.


Oh my god, have you read this fic yet?? It's so, so awesome.

The story starts as Harry and Draco's bond is dissolved and Draco leaves for Paris, but then as Harry stays (so much delicious pining!), he remembers and takes you back to some of the most memorable moments in their marriage, something that started as an accident and chaos, with lots of crazy fights, it shows you how it became something that worked, something real, until Harry's realisation that he misses Draco and wants him back.

I'm telling you, this walk down memory lane is filled with amazing moments, funny, crazy, sweet and loving that made their life together worth fighting back for. It's got beautiful characterisations and the most amazing assembly of supportive characters, Pansy, Hermione, Ron, Bill! Bill, needs a special mention because he's just perfect in this and you'll end up a bit in love with him as well. It's just filled with details you're going to love. It's a beautiful ride.

Summary: If this wasn't a curse then it was Hell. Because surely, in Hell, all roads would lead to Harry Potter's living room.


Oh, my god. You have to read this story. It's amazing!

It all starts with Draco always winding up at Harry's house. It's a curse, actually. Like, he tries to Floo to the Ministry for work, he ends up at Harry's place. He tries to fly to the Ministry, he ends up in Harry's yard. He tries to take the Knight Bus, he ends up at Harry's doorstep. And so on and so forth. He's only able to leave Harry's place at all if he's with Harry, which is all kinds of awesome.

And from then on, it only gets better. It's funny, there's UST by the buckets, and it's got lovely character development and Harry is hot as hell. Honestly, what are you waiting for? Read! :D

Summary: "This is something that actually happens fairly often, except that what the people and their magic want tend to be in sync."


This is such a cute story. It's about Harry and Draco's magic being compatible from the moment they met. Their magic is almost sentient; not a different being from themselves, but with a different sort of awareness And now that Draco released from Azkaban after years of being imprisoned his magic reacts wildly, and Harry being a Healer expert in Magic Cores treats him.

I loved that once they are aware of their magic compatibility they do not fight it, they embraced it, which makes the whole story to have a very sweet undertone.
