Summary: The course of true love never did run smooth. // Or: Hermione has a crafty plan, Harry and Draco are fake boyfriends and wizarding traditions have a lot to answer for. Featuring awkward dates, mince pies, a saucy sofa and a line of sequined house-elf haute couture nobody asked for but got anyway.

This fic, it's just so much fun; it's just hilarious and super entertaining and yet sweet and endearing, too.

It all begins with Harry talking to Hermione. They are trying to raise visibility of same-sex relationships. Harry's bi, you see, and even though in the wizarding world sexuality isn't a big issue, there are hardly any same-sex couples in the public eye, so Hermione tells him this idea is super. And she even suggests Harry traditionally (and publicly) courts Draco.

Also in the meantime Harry, who is a Magical Renovation Specialist – not a builder, mind you! – could help Draco with his barmy furnishing at the Manor.

Of course, when Harry goes to tell Draco this idea, Draco is certainly Not Impressed™ but eventually Harry convinces him to go with it. And it's awesome! \o/ They go on dates and there's so much banter and flirting and UST and at the same time is so sweet as they grow so fond of each other. I'm sure you're going to love it. :D Awesome fic!

Summary: When Draco Malfoy falls into a cursed sleep and can only be woken – at least, according to the Daily Prophet, that impeccable source of truth – by ‘true love’s kiss’, Harry Potter knows there’s no way on earth he’s the answer to this particular riddle. Is he . . .?
Content/Warning(s): bonding!fic

This fic is amazing! As the title and summary tells you, Draco has been cursed to sleep until – according to the Daily Prophet – his one true love kisses him awake.

The problem is that it's six weeks and counting and Draco is not waken up by any kisses. And so Blaise, the Unspeakable in charge of this case, asks Harry, Ron and Hermione to kiss Draco.

Surely nothing wrong is going to happen, yeah? I mean, come on. Only, to Harry's horror, Draco totally wakes him up when he kisses. And let me tell you, his reaction is hilarious!!!!! Harry's reaction, I mean! :D

But that's not all, not only Draco woke up, in a confusing turns of events, they end up bonded. As in in the middle of a marriage bond, and they can't access their magic unless they either complete the bond (you know what that means, right?) or they are touching. YAY!

And so Harry and Draco are suddenly married and living together only they aren't really, right? It's as awesome and as fun as it sounds, trust me; watching these two try to be civil, but still bickering, seeing that UST growing, sleeping together, then sleeping together without fulfilling the bond—and well, falling in love. :D

Summary: Eight months in the life of Harry Potter, Professor of Defence at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as he gets to know his newest colleague and navigates his youngest son’s first year at school.
Content/Warning(s): Partly Epilogue compliant

This is such a lovely story. Harry has been the Defence Against the Dark Arts for several years but this year a new Charms Professor joins the staff: one Draco Malfoy. And it's just wonderful, let me tell you. The way Harry and Draco, older and more mature simply click and begin this friendship that turns to much more.

It's also Albus's and Scorpius's first year at Hogwarts and both Harry and Draco are nervous and excited. We learn that Draco has been something of a recluse before coming to Hogwarts, and so he fears for Scorpius, but they both find their places, find friends, a family and much more. Truly lovely, sweet and perfect for this season. :)

Summary: Harry never expected he’d end up chipping away at his virginity while wandless and bonded to Malfoy in Northern Europe. // He never expected that would turn out to be the least surprising thing to happen while out on their training expedition in the middle of nowhere, either.
Content/Warning(s): bonding!fic

This fic, oh my god, this fic! It's Harry and Draco trainee Auror partners, who just so happen to be attracted to each other, and who are about to go in an training exercise wandless and bound to each other, so you know it's going to be awesome.

But wait! There's more! The thing, just before this trip Harry and Draco had a ~moment. Okay, they went out for drinks and Harry kissed him and of course things got awkward and they had been getting along so well, you see, but now they aren't quite talking. Only obviously they have to talk in this mission, and the beautiful thing is, they actually do talk. Harry says he didn't regret kissing him and Draco said he surprised him and, well, things are a bit less tense but it's full of sexual tension. And then they share a bed AND well things get really interesting.

One of the things I loved the most is seeing Harry and Draco like this. They are honest with each other, they haven't forgotten who they are, or who they were, but they are growing, they accept the people who were, the mistakes they made and have learnt from them.

There's of course the ~issue~ of Harry's virginity which, as the summary says, he's been chipping away as the trip progress. But there's more than that, too, because this bond was a last-minute addition, and it's very suspicious of both the bond caster – a foreign specialist, and the instructor, who hates Draco and practically gave them no choice but to accept it.

It's interesting and amazing, funny and sexy, seeing them getting to know each other even better, seeing them experiment and admit their feelings and finally build something real. Most awesome.

Summary: Harry has spent the last twelve years in Romania, not returning to England as often as he knows he should. It's complicated. But when Ginny asks him to be her best man and help her plan her wedding, he can't say no. Having a reckoning with his choices, with himself, won't be easy. To say nothing of seeing Draco again.

This is such a gorgeous story. It's incredible! As the summary says, after twelve years of living in Romania Harry's returning to be Ginny's best man. He's obviously done well in Romania, he's had a great life, he loves his dragons. We learn through the story that he left England because he wasn't ready, you know? However, we also learn that all those years ago Harry and Draco had something – it was, you can say it was of sexual nature, but only it was obviously a lot more than that to both of them. You have to imagine that, remember how young they were back then, and Harry wasn't ready to stay, he was trying to find himself.

Now, seeing Draco after all those years, he feels everything he left behind, and he gets to know the man Draco's become, and he wants, he wants him so badly it hurts, it hurts both of them. They can't help it, they can't keep their hands off each other, but still, there are all these things unsaid and unfinished, and there's Harry that isn't sure if he's staying or coming back.

At least he thinks he doesn't know, only he totally does (OH MY GOD) and I just don't want to say anything else because you have to live this fic. These characters are so amazing and so rich. They laugh and cry and hurt and fuck and are beautiful in their complexity. Just, like, read it, you'll love it!

Summary: Harry and Draco are friends. More than friends. Close friends. Which might be a little annoying for... well, everyone else around them.

This fic is such a darling of a story. Like, seriously. There's Harry who is a Quidditch player and there's Draco who is his [unofficial] Healer. And they are really good friends and they are also like, dating AF only neither of them realises even though everybody knows, you know? :)

Yeah, oblivious boys being absolutely cute and a bit flirty, plus, there's some smoking hot smut, too! \o/ Awesome! Trust me, it's going to leave you with a big smile on your face. ^^

Summary: After Harry’s unfortunate encounter with his ex, Draco Malfoy makes him a proposition. Draco wants his parents to stop matchmaking him, Harry wants to make his ex jealous. All they need to do is simply pretend they’re in love. Problem is… Draco already is.

Oh my god, this story is so gorgeous! There's sooo much pining! \o/ But that comes later on, the story actually starts when Astoria ~dumps~ Draco. They've been pretending they are a couple to placate their parents, though both very much gay, and Astoria is ready to – not just come out, but find someone.

Which leaves Draco at the mercy of Narcissa and Lucius who continuously try to match him with proper prospects, I suppose. ^^

Enters Harry, who is coming out of a long-term relationship, not completely over his ex and, well, they think this mutually beneficial arrangement is a great idea: Harry doesn't look as if he's still pining for his ex and Draco's parents leave him a lot. They only have to pretend to be in love. But yes, Draco already is. And he pines so beautifully let me tell you. Because, he's got this image, this ~bad boy, party guy image, but as they start spending time together Harry sees a different side of him. He sees how much he's changed, his kind side, and in return Draco sees more of Harry as well. Of course, of course it's not that simple, because as they get to know each other better these feelings that they are pretending, and in Draco's case trying to repress, only grow stronger.

Seriously, seeing these two fall [harder] in love is gorgeous! They have so much chemistry, they are so good together, you'll love it! :D

Summary: Draco certainly never intended to be a style consultant for the seriously fashion challenged, but after the war and the reparations his family had to pay, it was clear he would need to earn a living. However, if having to earn a living meant he got to admire Potter’s arse and shoulders in well-fitted clothes, it wasn’t that bad. Or was it?

This is a delightful story, in which, yes, Draco is a style consultant and Harry is his most important client. But the thing is, Draco is both incredibly snarky and grumpy and completely smitten with Harry, which is just brilliant when it comes to actually dealing with Harry in such, erm, close quarters, sort of speak.

Harry is super charming here, too! And I swear, the whole story is a darling. Will leave you with a big smile on your face, promise! :D


The oddest thing happened to me with this rec. I posted at tumblr, I listed as posted in my spreadsheet. I added to the list of recs I keep, and yet somehow I failed to actually posted at LJ and DW and only today as I am adding the authors to my recs I realised. GOD. I'm so sorry!

Summary: Harry and Draco are sent on an undercover assignment to catch a Dark wizard — which might not be so bad if it weren't at a Muggle nudist resort. // Now Draco has to deal with a very interested Harry, temptation he's long-since learned to ignore, and threats around every corner — including the one to his heart.

Oh my god, this story is so, so good! It's amazing, really! It's not just fun, and you can imagine just how much fun it's going to be reading Harry and Draco going undercover to a Muggle nudist resort and pose as newlyweds, but it's more so because Harry and Draco have all these. . . ~vibes between them! I don't know how to describe it. They work really well together, but in the story we learn that they are incredibly attracted to each other, and they know it. In fact, they've been sort of fighting against it and now they have this assignment and—well.

One of the things that is so good about this fic is the characterisations; Harry is so charming and confident, and it's awesome, but so is Draco. And they are at this impasse, in which Harry is completely open about wanting Harry and Draco is completely open about trying to resist him. \o/

And then there's the plot, which is super intriguing and gripping and it seems they are spies and conspiracies everywhere. It's super exciting seeing them work together and at the same time work out their feelings for each other. Yeah, pretty damn brilliant. :)

Title: Of Matchmaking Owls & Second Chances

Summary: It's just Draco's luck to own an owl that's in love with Potter's owl treats. When Potter invites Draco's owl to be a taste-tester, Draco accepts. For the sake of his beloved owl, of course, not to rekindle that spark of attraction during their eighth year. Or because of how bloody fit Potter is.


This story is so lovely. Draco and Draco's owl are one of Speccy's Owl Treats best costumers (the c's on Speccy's are styled as round glasses and everything!). And so the owner, the creator of these treats, invited them to a private testing of new flavours. The owl – Humphrey is most insistent they go (you know how owls can get LOL) and so Draco going to this tasting only to discover the owl treat manufacturer is Harry. Of course it's Harry.

And wow, Harry is hot! But you see, Harry and Draco had a bit of a history back in 8th year, they formed a friendship, and now, after a couple of years of not seeing each other, maybe they are reading to pick up where they left off. :) Also, Hedwig lives in this fic! \o/

Summary: Werewolf Alphas aren't meant to be alone, or to suppress their ruts indefinitely like Draco has been since he was bitten eight years ago. He needs company, companionship, to knot ― he needs an Omega Heat Companion. At least, that’s what the Healers say, and even Draco can admit contacting the person they’ve referred him to might be nice. //Of course it turns out to be bloody Potter.
Content/Warning(s): A/B/O Dynamics, Alpha Draco Malfoy, Omega Harry Potter, Werewolves, heat cycles, knotting (there's more at the post and all so very yummy, too!)

If you like ABO stories you're in for a treat with this fic. And you know, even if you don't you should totally read this fic because it's fantastic.

It's from Draco's POV, and it's start with him, already being turned a werewolf for almost eight years, goes to see a Healer (Pansy insisted!) because he's been having these fainting spells, but the Healer refers him to a Mind Healer, since there's nothing physically wrong with him.

The Mind Healer pretty quickly figures out the problem: he's been taking heat suppressants and bearing his heats alone for too long, and each heat leaves him exhausted. It's taken his toll on him. The Mind Healer suggests him then a Heat Companion. Someone to helps him through his heat without the suppressants.

Of course, as the summary says, it turns it Potter. But you see, Harry is nothing like Draco imagined. Harry is open, and candid, and honest talking about all that, about his turning and him being an Omega and you know, their chemistry is insane, you can already tell.

And then there's all the sex, which is smoking hot, and intense. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. :D

Summary: Potter was leaning against the doorframe, feet bare, jeans low on his hips, ear pierced, nose red from the cold.
He was smirking as if the sole purpose of his existence was to drive Draco crazy. // In which the eighth years spend the holidays in a French ski resort and Draco comes to terms with his feelings.

This story is just soooo cute. I'm telling you, having the 8th years taking a ~Muggle~ Holiday was the best idea ever. \o/

The story starts when the whole group goes skiing and Harry and Draco end up alone during the first activity and apparently Harry's behind is very distracting for Draco. *nods* There's plenty of flirting and UST, board games, dares. . . Draco with a man bun (omg!) and—well, having all that UST eventually resolved. ;) Very fluffy, and lots of fun! :)

Summary: Potter comes out, and starts frequenting gay wizarding clubs. Only, he can't seem to find anyone to hold his interest, much to Draco's ongoing amusement, until one night, things become clearer, and he has a proposition for Draco. // Basically: Harry Potter is a virgin, and he wants Draco to rid him of his virginity.


Basically: Harry Potter is a virgin, and he wants Draco to rid him of his virginity. <----- THIS! :D

Basically Draco's tired to see Harry trying to ~score~ at the local gay bar and, well, they both think it's a great idea that Draco be Harry's first since they don't like each other and then Draco's not going to be fawning all over Harry, which Harry hates – erm, the fawning, not Draco. ;) And Draco finds the idea of being Harry's first Most Alluring.

Of course, having sex with Harry turns nothing at all like Draco expected. It's much better, or worse, depending. Super fun, and sexy. :D

Summary: After much deliberation and several unhealthy coping methods, Harry decides to go to a Muggle mental health support group. Who else would be there but Draco Malfoy?
Content/Warning(s): Mental Health Issues, mention of past self harm

This story is such a beautiful journey. As the summary says, it starts as Harry goes for the first time to a Muggle mental health support group and in his very first visit he runs into Draco.

He promised Hermione he'd go though, because for a long, long time Harry hasn't been doing well and his friends have been worried. So he keeps going and making friends with other people in the group, and after one screaming match (according to Harry's new friend Sam, the first ever in the group – trust Harry and Draco to break that record ^^), they finally decide to be civil. They go to a pub together to celebrate Sam's birthday (who is a wonderful OC!) and, well. You know, one things leads to another and they do the deed right there and then.

And then again the following week which turns to so much more. And it's brilliant, to see them getting better together, to see them talking and arguing and moving on.

There's Ron and Hermione who are lovely, and Luna and Ginny who are also beyond awesome. It's a beautiful story.
