This story is so very yummy. This is Harry being with a man for the very first time, and it's so good! Harry doesn't know the person who'll show up is Draco, and god, Draco's reaction when he realises he's meeting Harry—so very good, the possessiveness, how Draco knows exactly what to tell Harry and how to touch him, yep, super sexy! And awesome ending!

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: A little over a year after the end of the war, fate seems intent on pushing Harry and Draco together.
Content/Warning(s): Please check A/N and tags at ao3. :)

This fic is completely amazing. It's part of a Series called Are You Mine? This story is a prequel of both What I'm Waiting to Find and Midnight, which are Teddy/James (meaning, this series is Epilogue Complaint). In those stories, while we see Teddy and James getting together – and let me tell you, those stories are effing gorgeous, if you like Next Gen, you shouldn't miss them! – we also learn that Harry and Draco had a history together, something happened between them after the war, before each married Ginny and Astoria. This is that history.

We get to see Harry and Draco starting a tentative friendship, we see them getting to know each other, we see amazing, brilliant character development, there's so much UST, smoking hot sex (OMG, hung!Harry \o/), we see Harry realising there's a whole new side of him he wasn't aware of, and discovering that with Draco, but of course it's not simple, because Draco has obligations, because there are so many expectation on their shoulders. It's beautiful and hear-aching.

This story is mainly bottom!Harry, but there's a switching scene. YUM!
Also: tagged both ewe and epilogue compliant because while the story is ewe, the end-game is EC.

Summary: Realizing he's gay is one thing. This unholy mess with Malfoy is something else entirely.
In which Harry tries to negotiate the path from self-loathing to some sort of happiness, and in the process learns that Malfoy runs a shop, reads Muggle philosophy, and is a dirty rotten liar.
Well, that last one isn't really a surprise.
Content/Warning(s): Rough Sex, Mildly Dubious Consent, Heavy BDSM, Bad BDSM Etiquette (see more at post)

This fic, man, this fic is a journey, really. It starts when Harry, while being drunk, literally runs into Draco, and they fight, violently, only they also have sex while they are fighting (or Harry's fighting Draco, really). Confused and ashamed Harry leaves Draco, but then Draco comes looking for Harry so it can happen again.

It's a bit the wrong way to have BDSM sex, actually, because Harry is full of shame about this thing he's doing with Draco, yet he can't help it, and he's kind of terrible, really (really bad BDSM etiquette), but once he accepts and tries to learn, he just – he does it the wrong way. But it's more than that, because there are feelings, Harry start facing those feelings for Draco, and we also learn the way Draco feels for Harry.

It's amazing, I'm not going to lie, a bit frustrating at times (because, Harry! – you'll see what I mean :D), but seeing them coming together, and that ending, man, it's so, so worth it. A journey indeed.

Please check the tags for more warnings, and don't neglect to read the Author's note, this story could be triggering for some readers otherwise. ^^

As I said, super hot and it has a lovely ending.

Summary: "Did I care that he was a vampire? Not in the least. I was curious; I had never slept with a vampire before. All those fabled sensual pleasures – the thrill of the bite, the erotic sucking of the neck (and I imagined, other body parts) – I was going to experience them. It helped that I have a thing for blood. It helped that Jonathan has a delicious arse."

This is an amazing, intriguing, clever story. You have to discover it for yourself. It starts with Draco, who had a vampire lover who in a night of passion bites him, yet afterwards Draco feels no different, he's not turn. Eventually they both move on. But after a while Draco feels himself change, there's a different sort of hunger, and he wonders, you wonder, was he turned? What's happening to Draco?

And there's Harry, and he's brilliantly written here, who sees Draco collapse and starts putting everything together, from people being attacked to Draco's symptoms, and when Draco comes to him for help, well, there are revelations to be disclosed.

I really don't want to say any more, you have to discover the ending by yourself.

Summary: After nearly two decades hidden away in the Wiltshire countryside, Draco Malfoy’s surprised to see a familiar face come into his local.
Content/Warning(s): Epilogue Compliant

I love Epilogue Compliant fics and this one is amazing.

Draco has been living peacefully at the Manor, hanging out with the locals (Muggles) and predicting the weather with uncanny accuracy, until one day he learns Harry Potter just moved in to the area. This is how we find out Harry and Draco have a past.

Years ago, Harry and Draco had an on and off relationship, but it ended badly when Draco offered more than Harry could handle at the time. And now, it seems, Harry's ready offer it back, but is it too late?

It's gorgeous, to see them more mature, older, in love, passionate. Really awesome.

Summary: For years Draco and Harry have met twice a month in posh Muggle hotels to engage in a little extra-marital fun, no strings attached. Things take a turn when Draco admits his true feelings for Harry.
Warning(s): Infidelity


This story goes exactly as the summary says; for years Harry and Draco have been meeting in secret, but the night Harry hears Draco confessing his love, everything changes.

It comes with lovely flangst, sexy, hot sex and a beautiful ending.

Summary: Draco's bachelor lifestyle is interrupted when Scorpius is sent to live with him in his London flat. He's no good at being a dad, but starts to cope with advice from his son's new schoolteacher -- Harry Potter -- who is, frankly, not just good with his books.
Warning(s): Semi Epilogue Compliant.


This is a very entertaining fic. I mean, here we have Draco, who is a tragically bad father. He's not abusive or anything, he's just awful with children and he doesn't seem to get through Scorpius at all. And it's not that Scorpius is a difficult child, not at all, but this is just as hard for him, too. The thing is Draco and Scorpius, are freshly moved from Manor after living with their doting grandparents, but now everything changed with Draco moving to the city, Astoria off in her honeymoon and Scorpius starting a new school.

And this is where Harry comes in; he's Scorpius teacher at a Muggle school. And he proves to be a wonderful influence, on both of them. :D

There is plenty of lovely flirting, and some really hot sex. It's very entertaining.

Semi-Epilogue Compliant because it's placed before the epilogue, but all children exist though the marriages that produced them are long over.

This story is sweet and wonderful, but it has a touch of angst, too.

It starts with Harry and Draco meeting in Paris after fifteen years from the first time they went there together. But then it takes you back to that first time, and how wonderful and romantic it was. Hot, too! Mustn't neglect to mention how utterly hot it was. But then they part ways.

And then it brings you back to the present, and whether if they are ready to continue what they started all those years ago. Lovely story, with the most wonderful ending.

Summary: After years of avoiding Draco Malfoy, Auror Harry Potter is forced into a situation where he can't anymore.
Warning(s): Epilogue compliant


This is one of those fantastic stories that are perfectly balanced between the mystery of a case and Harry and Draco's relationship.

Draco's wife has been murdered and Harry is in charge of the investigation, which is absolutely intriguing, but there's also Harry's awareness of how he feels about Draco. I love that it doesn't drag endlessly; once Harry realises how he feels about Draco there are these advances between them, and they are just so sexy, and the characterisations are fantastic, too.

Summary: Following a bizarre accusation in a brutal crime, Harry Potter finds himself a loner and an outcast, as Draco Malfoy reigns supreme in the innermost social circles. A vengeful optician, a fifteen-year-old homeless Squib, and Harry and Draco's penchant for charitable giving all come into play as Blaise Zabini makes an unusual bet with Draco.
Warning(s): Epilogue compliant, infidelity (more warnings on the fic)


This story is fantastic, I had the best time reading it, and it all starts with Draco needing glasses, because, you see, when he went to get them, his optician put a little spell on the glasses, a spell that would make Draco see the real world. Draco has been living a very shallow existence, but now his vision, his perception of the world has changed. And these changes start when he meets a young girl, a homeless Squib at Diagon Alley, one that Harry has been helping.

Harry on the other hand, is practically an outcast, being blamed by a crime he didn't commit and was never proved to be guilty, yet he bears the burden of whispers and rejection by the Wizarding world. And when Draco takes interest in this girl that Harry has been helping, well, his obsession for the man will know no bounds.

I usually found stories when Harry is wrongly accused of a crime very hard to read, but this story is amazing, and it's not only about that, it's about Harry and Draco, helping this girl, both in their own ways, and it's brilliant. The characterisations are wonderful, there's a lot, and I mean a lot of UST (ultimately resolved, yay!), and it's fun, entertaining and so very touching.

Summary: “I got someone pregnant,” he said. “Draco Malfoy to be specific.”
Warning(s): Mpreg, infidelity, epilogue compliant


This story starts with Draco telling Harry he's pregnant. They've been having an affair for a long time, and this fic tells you that story, too, how it all started; from the first awkward meeting where Harry returned Draco's wand, to that first time when they were drunk, and then how, somewhere along the way, it became something more, without them even realising of it, how they tried to stop seeing each other, but ultimately simply couldn't.

And now that Draco is pregnant is time to come clean. Harry tells Ginny about him and Draco. I know it has warnings people are wary of, but this story show such a human side of Harry, how he deals with the consequences of what he's done. He knows he's hurting the people he loves, because he cares for Ginny, he loves his children and he misses his friends, but not for a moment Harry doubts about not being there for Draco.

It feels so real, moving and emotional, and I love Harry and Draco's relationship here, you can tell they have something really special, in the way they are honest and open, and how they know each other. I loved it, and I know you'll love it too if you read it, there are so many things we love to read, the drama, the smut (it's so good!) and that realisation of why they couldn't ever stay away from each other and how once they knew about the pregnancy they never doubted to go through everything together. It's lovely all around.

Warning(s): Epilogue compliant


This story starts with a mole, one that Harry has on the back of his neck, and Draco is obsessed with it. Through the years Draco never forgot of it, but he noticed the next time he saw it, it didn't look so healthy any more, and it's actually thanks to Draco that they discovered Harry was sick, that this mole is cancerous.

I don't know if I'm making this story justice with this description, because it's absolutely beautiful. Draco's devotion while Harry is sick, his selfless dedication becomes Harry's strength through his fight with cancer.

Beautiful, touching, sweet, sad at times, but lovely all around. An excellent read of Hurt/Comfort at its finest.
