Summary: “Do we always have to fight first?” Harry asks breathlessly, shoving his hips forward in a quick rhythm. // Draco’s hands still them, and he pulls off for a moment; glances up at Harry with an are you daft? expression. His lips are shining and plump. “Can you imagine it as this much fun otherwise?” he asks rhetorically. // Harry and Draco don't know how to talk. So they do other things instead.

This is such a hot, intense fic. It's kind of non-linear because it starts with Harry and Draco fighting/fucking (more fucking than fighting at this point, really! :D). But we also get to see how the whole thing started.

Draco is a reporter for the Daily Snitch an he's been pestering Harry for a quote in the week of the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. Obviously they start up fighting, which ends with them actually fucking.

But it's just that, this thing they do, they fight and then they fuck, until maybe they don't need to always fight? It's amazing because they are the worst at trying to communicate and at the same time they are obviously so invested and—read it, it's hot, intense, and sweet, in a very Harry/Draco sort of way. :D

Summary: Malfoy's interest is caught by a certain Muggle drug store item. (Hint: Flavoured Condoms)

This is hilarious. Harry drags Draco to a Muggle drug store where he, Draco, discovers the joy of condoms. He finds out they are flavoured and it's so funny what with Harry about to have an aneurism right there on the contraception aisle. And naturally once he realised Harry's a bit mortified about the whole thing, he becomes downright impossible in the very best way. So much fun, this fic. :D

Summary: Twenty-five years later, Harry and Draco find their way back to one another.
Content/Warning(s): Past relationship, Epilogue Compliant

Ohh, this fic! This is the final instalment of the trilogy Are You Mine? It takes place after Not Just When You Want to Be (H/D) and What I'm Waiting to Find (James/Teddy).

In Not Just When You Want to Be, which I recced here, we get to see Harry and Draco after the war, the history they shared, it's intense and fiery, but they were young, they needed to mature, they just weren't in the right place to be together just then.

This story is post Epilogue, and it's amazing. In What I'm Waiting to Find we are aware Harry and Ginny have been having problems, and in this fic we see them separated, getting divorced, and it's such a bittersweet moment because they did have something good, they were best friends, companions, but ultimately not right for each other. Then Harry runs into Draco and all those feelings that were always in Harry's heart come back with a vengeance and he wants to know Draco again, he feels he knows Draco, but they both have changed, have grown, and you see, maybe now it's the right time for them.

It's so lovely, all the tension, the sexual tension, seeing them try again, knowing they never forgot each other, and god, it's thrilling to see that happening, see them coming together, at last. Such an amazing journey! It's beautiful. :)

Summary: Beauxbatons is hosting the first ever Quidditch Summer School for children from all over Europe, and Harry has promised to enroll Teddy as his birthday present. Meanwhile, Draco is stuck in his office, putting together the first ever Quidditch Summer School for children from all over Europe during, when he should be enjoying summer holidays.


This fic was a delight to read. As the summary says Beauxbatons is hosting the first ever Quidditch Summer School, and indeed, Harry decided to enrol Teddy for it. Only when Harry and Andromeda arrive to leave Teddy they find Draco is having a little crisis and the Star Seeker (Viktor Krum) is not going to be able to make it to the camp.

Luckily though, Harry, a former Quidditch player is right there and he might save Draco from a tight stop.

Okay, okay, he totally does. And so Harry and Draco start spending more time together, and let me tell you, it's lovely, the sights described, the moments, the flirting. It's all fantastic.

There's this gorgeous built up between them, the tension gently giving way to what seems inevitable between them, it's very, very nicely paced. A lovely read all around with a beautiful ending.

Summary: Draco preferred a life free from the unforeseen and the uncontrollable. Surely he could handle Potter, though, friends with benefits or not. But since when had anything involving Potter gone according to plan?

This story is so lovely, so sweet. You see, Draco is not very keen on surprises. Yet finding out he'll be tutoring a Seekers course along Harry was a surprise. More surprising still was to realise they were good together, they could be work and become friends. But more surprising still was finding out he wanted more, and scarier still when he might be wanted in return.

Lovely paced, lovely writing, wonderful read. :)

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

Warning(s): Angry!sexy, underage (depending on where you live)


This story takes place during the Half-Blood Prince, Harry and Draco get into a huge fight during a Quidditch game, but what happens afterwards changes everything.

It's not only incredibly hot (and oh my god, it's effing hot!) but it's perfect for this moment in time. I know it's tagged as angst, but read it, the ending is brilliant.

Summary: Draco asks Harry to help him beat the Imperius curse during 4th year. The lessons turn into more than either expected. A story of redemption and forgiveness.

I took this story with me to finish while I was away and I ended up reading it from the start.

This story is not an AU, it plays with canon. You see, in this fic Harry and Draco started their relationship back in the fourth year, during the Triwizard Tournament and were together for two years, up until the infamous scene in the Hogwarts Express at the beginning of sixth year, where Draco, not only break Harry's nose, but he also removes every single memory of the two of them together.

The story starts at Draco's trial after the war, when it comes to light that Draco erased Harry's memories of them, and then it shows you their relationship, how it started, how it evolved, how they fell in love and staged so many of their fights through Hogwarts. But then it comes the time when they have to face what Draco did, for Draco, erasing himself from the memory of the love of his life to protect him, and for Harry, having lost all those experiences, having loved and be loved, friendships made and everything it implied. Because there's no way to undo it, there's no way to bring those memories back, though the feelings remain, or in Harry's case, the inkling of those feelings, because as angry as Harry was at Draco, he was never able to stop thinking about him.

It's very dramatic, how they cope, Harry's emotions at having to face having no knowledge of what a huge part of his life Draco was for over two years and Draco having to live with that, not knowing how to make Harry understand, unable to even speak to him for so long.

It's really a journey, from those days when Harry couldn't even look at Draco, to finding forgiveness, be willing to forgive and be forgiven, making new memories and sharing old ones.

Title: Chasing Draco

Summary: Draco Malfoy is every suitor's nightmare. His brazen temper and absolute disregard for the personal safety of others has his father in despair. Enter Harry Potter.


This story is so much fun. It's an adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, and Draco really honours that title.

After a long line of suitors have come and go, Lucius is really starting to get desperate, and after learning of Harry's interests for Draco, he strikes a deal with him most beneficial to both of them.

And so the courtship starts, and it's hilarious. Draco's "resistance" to the whole thing (aka the epic fits and tantrums he pulls) are legendary, which includes books and furniture destroyed, mostly while aimed at Harry, but Harry takes it like champ; he determinate to tame this Dragon.

But seriously, it's fun, it's funny, and witty. Harry is deliciously devious, with this big heart, and Draco is amazing.

And so very sweet, because of course they fall in love, but it's not all easy when it's time to come clean for Harry, especially if forced to do so by, erm, "evil forces".

The supporting characters are lovely as well, Blaise, Ginny, Andromeda and Lucius are brilliant here.

You'll enjoy it, I know I did. And will leave you with a big smile on your face.
