Capitu's Harry/Draco Recs

Title: Put a Price on My Soul

Word Count: 12,000
Summary: Harry has become used to being a whore in the crapsack wizarding world that’s now governed by Voldemort. Everything changes when Malfoy becomes his new pimp.
Warning(s): dub-con/non-con of the prostitution variety, sexual violence, Magical AU


I love a good Dark Fic, and this was is great. It's a Voldemort wins AU, in which Harry ends up as a whore in a brothel, and this story starts when Malfoy is the new pimp in charge.

And while Draco improves Harry's living's conditions, his clients only get more vicious, yet he gives Harry something he hasn't had since he landed there; a bit of happiness. And with old friends, it comes hope.

It's really heart-aching though, Harry's life in the brothel, the abuse from his clients, the bleakness of his days until Draco shows at the end day.

Title: I Am Your Shadow

Word Count: 3,000 Approx.
Summary: Love (n) An intense feeling of deep affection. Yield (v) To give up or surrender (oneself).
Warning(s): Dark themes. Depression. Dub-con due to intoxication. Amortentia.


This is such a wicked story. It's got a very numb-after-the-war Harry, who can still remember what it was like to feel, and a very broken Draco, hungry for love, for something.

There's also willing use of Amortentia and that ending, man, is going to make you shiver. But it's also going to make you feel and think for both Harry and Draco, how sad it is for them when they reached the point when they need to do that, and also make you wonder if there's more than that. It's amazing.

Title: Lorelei in the Menagerie

Word Count: 23,000 Approx.
Summary: "I think my dead son is haunting the manor," says Draco when Harry runs into him in an antique book shop. Driven by yearning and suspicion, Harry offers his help and is drawn into a web of secrets and half-forgotten nightmares.
Warning(s): cannibalism, mentions of torture and miscarriage.


Nothing like a chilling story for Halloween, and this was is incredible.

It has a very intriguing plot. Draco believes his dead child, his unborn dead child is haunting him, for strange things are happening at Malfoy Manor and the woods that surround it. And as Harry volunteers to help him, they discover the truth is more complex than they could ever imagined.

It's very interesting, the twists and turns through the plot, they all fall into place as the mystery unravels, but there's the constant of Harry's feelings for Draco; protectiveness, compassion and love.

I know this fic comes with strong warnings, and I am tagging it as Dark Fic, but it's not a fic you have to be necessarily scared to read, most of these warnings are mentioned, but none in explicit detail. And the style is really, really great.

Title: Better Than Nothing
Author: vampyrerayne
Rating: R
Word Count: 17,000
Summary: Harry loves Draco, more than anything. And Draco loves him, too. Really. He just doesn’t know it yet. But that’s okay, because Harry’s got a plan. And soon, Draco will understand that they’re meant to be together. And then, everything will be perfect.
Warning(s): Mpreg, Dubious-Consent, brief-but-graphic birth scene (C-section).


Oh god, this fic. This story is so intriguing, it's the sort of fic that leaves you shocked. Well, stunned might be a better word, and you have to read it to truly experience it because I really don't know how to describe it without completely spoiling it.

The prompt and the summary will give you an idea of what it's about, but trust me, it's going to surprise you no matter how much you're expecting to be surprised. It's amazingly well done, and will stay with you for long after you read it.

Title: Frightful the storm
Author: hereticalvision
Rating: R
Word Count: 3,500
Summary: It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be only more attached to one another.
Warning(s): Everything you'd expect in Frankenstein: character death, body horror, dark magic. Plus some sexual situations for good measure.


This is an adaptation of Frankenstein, and it's masterfully done, because it has so many Harry Potterish elements that make it truly original.

It's chilling and haunting, even, and it has this air of desperation while Draco works to bring Harry back; everything he does, you can feel it's out of love for this man he can't live without. It's truly outstanding. And it has the perfect ending.

It has dark elements, as you can expect, but it's very emotional, too.

ETA: Edited to the proper title. Sorry!

Title: In Death’s Dream Kingdom
Author: kedavranox
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 7,500
Summary: ‘We need to get going,’ Harry says. ‘We have a lot to do if we want to finish what we started.’
Warning(s): Major character death


Have you ever read something so devastating and beautiful that you almost have no words to describe it? This story is like that.

I almost don't want to tell you anything about it because, for one, I don't think I can make the story justice, and for another, because I don't want to spoil what reading it will make you feel.

It's raw, it's painful but it's beautiful. It's going to hurt, but you're going to love it, because beyond the warnings, this is a story about love.

Title: Forgive Those Who Trespass
Author: lomonaaeren
Rating: R
Word Count: 135,900 Approx.
Summary: Harry Potter was convinced he had an ordinary, if inconvenient, life. Then Ron and Hermione vanished in the Department of Mysteries. And the only person who may know where they are is a mute Draco Malfoy.
Warning(s): Horror, violence, gore, torture, profanity.


This story is a classic in this gender. It's not an easy read, because it's very dark.

Ron and Hermione vanished into the Department of Mysteries, and when Harry goes searching for them he sees the whole department has turned into a cave. He encounters a mute and scarred Draco Malfoy, who becomes his only companion while facing the horrors within the maze.

But this story is not only about that darkness, it's about this fierce protectiveness towards one another, because they need and cling to each other to survive, and while walking through the maze they forge a bond that can never be broken. And all through his Harry is constantly warring with himself, with his newly discovered sexuality and all the feelings he starts having for Draco. It's very intense in that sense, too.

Title: The Perfect Wife
Author: all_not_well
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 8,000 Approx.
Summary: He can't remember what he was like before he lost his memory...but the person in the mirror doesn't really feel like him.
Warning(s): Mindfuck, dub con, identity confusion, boys with breasts, daddy kink, come play, drugs, forced feminisation, daddy!kink (actually, see full list at author's page).


I thought I had recced this story ages ago.

This fic, as you can see, it's loaded with warnings and kinks. There's Daddy!kink, mindfuck, dubious content, feminisation, comeplay, name-calling. It's got it all. And if you're wondering how did the author do to fit it all and make it work you're going to have to read the story, because she does, she really does.

This fic is very kinky and very twisted in a very good day.

Draco wakes up, and he has no idea where he is, or who he is, but there's Harry, and Harry is going to tell him everything he needs to know.

Mind the warnings, though. This is not a fluffy fic, not for the faint of heart. It's rather on the Dark Side of the spectrum, but totally worth it. Perfectly disturbing and I loved it in all its twistedness.

Title: Ring A-Ring O' Roses
Author: melusinahp
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 20,000
Summary: Some demons are harder to banish than others.
Warning(s): Character deaths (not Harry or Draco)


This fic has a really intricate and intriguing plot.

At a Ministry function post-war, there was a mass murder, Lucius Malfoy and Ginny Weasley among the victims. Harry is in charge of the case, even with his personal conflicts, and somehow the traces of these happenings are leading him constantly back to Draco Malfoy.

One of the things that make this story so fantastic, is that Harry and Draco interactions are just so tense and raw, and yet there's this need, this furious need to have the other, those actions and reactions, always fuelled by sexual tension that is delicious.

This story also has this dark shade, a creepy tingle, even, and that's just fantastic.

Title: Eden
Author: michi_thekiller
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 5,000 Approx.
Summary: With knowledge comes suffering. On the nature of good and evil, love and hate. Taste the apple.


This is a very interesting story. It has Christian references, serious ones at that, in the fanfic, which I don't think I've read before. Not like this.

Aside from that, I really like that, it's like Draco doesn't know how to love, how to love Harry. Yet, he does.

Title: On Practiced Accident
Author: snarkyscorp
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 4,500
Summary: They are so violent in their silences, so vicious. They are careless in this, always meeting on practiced accident, stumbling into each other with rehearsed surprise and indifference, as if it isn't the priority of the evening to find one another and seek out all the dark parts that are mended to shadows and wrongness, to bruises and wounds, to scars and secrets.
Warning(s): Epilogue compliant. Infidelity, voyeurism, coercion, dubious consent, use of the Imperius Curse


Saying it's intense, doesn't begin to cover it. This story is chilling.

Written from Albus Severus' POV, this fic is going to leave you speechless.

Title: Damage
Author: literaryspell
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 3,500
Summary: Harry rises. Draco watches.
Warning(s): issues of consent, rape-play, spousal abuse, D/s


This is my favourite Dark!Harry fic. It's his 'rise to power', which, as many things do, started with the best of intensions.

I don't think this Harry could exist without Draco being with him.

It's chilling and powerful and so sexy, all in a twisted and delicious way.

Title: Unintended
Author: furiosity
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 21,000 Aprox.
Summary: Every little thing between them had been unintended, accidental, fortuitous.
Warning(s): Voyeurism, wanking, orgasm denial, Parseltongue, seduction, cock worship, bondage, some dirty talk, slight ambiguous consent, mild D/s.


This story is kind of dark, very intense and just the right sort of twisted.

This is a War fic. Draco is on a mission to spy Harry, but Harry caught them, and now that they are together, alone and hiding, the lines between black and white are blending and a lot can happen in the wide grey spectrum.

Like I said, it's very intense.

Title: Follow You
Author: literaryspell
Rating: NC 17
Word Count: 20,500
Summary: Necessity has tarnished the Golden Trio's halo. In the publically appointed positions of Judge, Jury, and Executioner, Harry, Hermione, and Ron run the wizarding world. Draco Malfoy finds himself at the mercy of the Judge himself—but instead of death, he's sentenced to something much more humiliating. How will Draco survive as the pet of the most notorious "hero" in the world, and what happens when that strictly defined relationship becomes even more complicated?
Warnings: dub-con, non-con, violence, whipping, bondage, captor/captive relationship, explicit sex, rimming, character death (not main characters)


Follow You marked a before and after in my fandom life. The thing is, before this story I didn't read Dark Fics, or even darkish, and I didn't know what I was missing, because Dark Stories are intense in a way that fluffy fics can never be.

And don't get that in the wrong way, because I love Fluffy fics, the large majority of what I read is plenty of fluffy, but what I mean is, a happy-go-merry storyis not going to take your breath away in the same way a dark one like Follow You will.

Duh. That's obvious Capitu. But really, you should open yourself to experience of reading a bit of dark fic, and Follow You is ideal because it's not a story that will leave you scarred and scared, there's no character death (and by this I mean nor Harry or Draco), it's a fic that might mark you (it marked me) but will open your eyes to the possibility, and allow you to play on this side of the fandom.

Follow You has the Golden Trio in a supremely authoritarian position, an incredible powerful Harry, who knows the reach of his strength, and there's Draco who has fallen under them and breaks so beautifully.

"I want you," Potter said, uncaring of Draco's request that he not speak. "I want to taste you, to touch you everywhere. I want to be inside you. I want to live inside you, to open you up and crawl in, to have you welcome and need me. To have you not live without me, to have you die from need of me."

This fic literally, took my breath away, and it does again and again every time I read it.
