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.
Content/Warning(s): bonding!fic

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: If there's one thing Draco's certain about, it's that Harry Potter's hiding something. When he gets to the bottom of Harry's closely guarded secret, a flippant solution brings them closer together and forces Harry to confront his past.
Content/Warning(s): Internalized Homophobia, Implied/Referenced Homophobia, Implied/Referenced Self-Harm, Implied/Referenced Mental Illness, Consensual Memory Modification

This is a beautiful written coming out story. This is about Harry, growing up hearing Uncle Vernon talking about gay people even worse than he talked about wizard really didn't prepare him to accept his own sexuality. And then there's Draco, who is openly gay and unapologetic, and they are sort of drawn to each other.

They go out this one time (after Draco 'by chance' – as in, Draco knew exactly what he was doing!!!! – was having coffee near Harry's place) to this bar, and he realises where Harry is coming from.

It's very dramatic, the way it's so hard for Harry to accept himself, he suffers and wants and is so confused. But it's beautiful, too, because Draco is there for him, helping being brave. And boy, they have all the sexual chemistry in the world! Really lovely story and it's illustrated by some really amazing art, too. :)

Summary: Draco and Harry have spent years dancing around one another, but Potter’s straight and married. Until one day he isn’t.
Content/Warning(s):

Such a gorgeous, beautiful story. After over twenty years of marriage, photos of Harry with another men are published in every wizarding publication. Draco reads them all avidly. But it's not a story about Harry dealing with the press, at least it's not only a story about that, it's a story about coming out, about finally being honest with yourself about who you are and what you want, no matter how old you are.

It's written from Draco's POV. They aren't best friends exactly, they just work together on occasion, Harry as Auror and Draco as a lawyer, but there's always been something between them, and now that Harry's out, maybe it could truly be something.

Seriously, lovely, intense and sexy, Harry and Draco are older, mature, they know what they want and it's wonderful.

Summary: Draco Malfoy was condemned to live a Muggle’s life for his three-year probation. His wand was locked away, and he was forbidden to set foot in Wizarding Britain until Hermione Granger secured a job for him in the Aurors’ stock room. Harry Potter, who worked three doors away as a junior Auror, frequently visited Draco to check out supplies, take Spanish lessons, and witness Draco’s resolute—if painful—adaptation to a non-magical life … while falling in love with the man who might be too fragile to love him back.

This story is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

The summary is already so lovely that you get a pretty good idea what the story is about. Draco works only three doors away from Harry in the supply office, and it's just, so full of feelings. So much gorgeous pining, but it's like, a gentle, melancholic sort of pining, you see. In which we get to see Harry and Draco through the other's eyes, and it's magical. Their interactions, all the things they aren't saying but are so clear, and finally the way in which Harry says them, I can't think of other words than beautiful and perfect.

Summary: A perfect match, a romance for the ages, with a one hundred percent success rate! Magic Match claims they can give Draco all of this. So why do they keep sending him on dates with Harry Potter?

Oh my god, this fic is so amazing, I kid you not!

We have Harry and Draco trying this matchmaking service and they are stuck with being set up with each other, over and over and over again even though Draco's doing everything in his power to avoid Harry. :D It's a Magical Matching system, which is the best thing ever, basically. :D

Anyway, so they go on dates and at first is super awkward (and brilliant!) but then all this tension makes itself known – and by 'tension' I mean all the UST!! Until it's undeniable.

Butt here's also all these gorgeous characterisation of both Harry and Draco; Draco is complex and amazing and drives Harry crazy, and Harry's charming and honest and so effing sexy, Draco can't resist him.

Awesome, fun and sexy and very moving, too. :)

Summary: Potter escorts me home, presses me into my front door and kisses me with a ferocity that’s exhilarating. // And then Potter asks me, in a growl that makes my cock throw a wet tantrum in my pants, how many more dates I would deem mandatory before I let him fuck me. // I drag Potter to bed.

In case the title doesn't completely give it away, this fic has Hung!Harry. :D And Draco's equally proportional obsession with Harry, and Harry's, um, person.

Seriously though, Draco's POV as he goes on and on (and on!) about Harry is hilarious, it's sexy (funny and sexy!) and then the fic is incredibly sweet too. Ohh, and Harry is SUPER charming. :D

Oh man! Look at that summary! It gets even better. Harry and Draco are early for work, and Draco, god, Draco is such an utterly irresistible bastard, Harry pretty much never stood a chance against his advances in a ministry lift. Yes, it's so good!

Summary: It was nothing so elegant as fucking, the first time they came together. It was teeth just a little too sharp— against a collarbone, on the right-side curve of a jaw, drawing blood from the plushest part of a bottom lip. It was the doorframe digging into the curve his spine was making of its own volition: closer, harder, more. Two hundred pain receptors per square inch in the human body and it was nothing but background noise in the explosion, the revelation, that was Harry Potter’s body against his.

This fic is fantastic. It was written for the trope Denial, from Draco's POV, and it's about Harry and Draco and this thing they've been having for years and how Harry is ready to call it for what it is, a relationship. Only Draco is not there yet, he's, well, in denial about exactly everything Harry means to him, too.

It's so much more than that though, because through the beautiful writing you can see the way Draco feels about Harry, how he sees him, we get to see a bit how this whole thing started, how it's obvious so much more than Draco is letting on. It's brilliant, the ending is wonderful and just everything. :D

Summary: Draco's boss brings out his uncivilized side.

A much beloved trope here: Draco working for Harry. And oh god, it's brilliant, awesome bickering, and super hot, but I'll get to that.

The story starts with a very irritated Draco at facing his boss's indifference in favour of a "telly-fone", which turns to them bickering, which turns to them fighting, (literally!) Throwing each other paperweights and inkpots and ultimately becoming a fistfight, which naturally turns to sex. The hottest ~angry sex ever. \o/

Summary: Narcissa Malfoy and Amarantha Greengrass just want what’s best for their children. But since it’s 1899, their children are 32 and 27 respectively, and sundry magical and Muggle crises are erupting across Europe, the chances of their plans progressing smoothly are close to zero.
Content/Warning(s): Victorian England AU (but otherwise, canon EWE compliant)

This fic is utterly delightful. 73K that just flew by as I read them. :) It starts when Draco comes back to England after living for the last few years in Geneva because her mum and Mrs Greengrass have come to the agreement is quite right time their children get married and they indeed make a great match.

Of course, Astoria and Draco themselves are not very pleased with this decision, and after a slightly off first meeting they finally agree they need to thwart their mothers and for this they have a plan. As Draco is not likely to ever be interested in another woman, they decide to find a better prospect for Astoria. (Charlie Weasley! Who is awesome, by the way.)

At the same time, when Harry and Hermione learn that these two are forced to married they come with their own plan to help them, and their plan is basically to keep them busy. So Hermione, Head of the Magical Law Enforcement Department offers Astoria a Muggle Legal Liaison position, since Astoria is such a spirited activist for Muggle Women's rights. As for Draco, Draco will work along with Harry, Head Auror, in crime scenes and gathering evidence for scientific analysis.

And as all this happens, we see Astoria fighting for Muggle Women's rights and welfare and Harry and Draco investigating an international smuggling ring.

It's really, really entertaining, the characterisations of - oh damn, everybody! - are brilliant, and seeing Harry and Draco ~discovering each other is wonderful. And Victorian Era AU, which just makes the whole thing extra charming. It's lovely.

Summary: Getting Draco Malfoy as a boss was not the worst thing that happened to Harry; getting a crush on him was.

This fic is so delightful, oh my god.

As the summary says, it's not so much that Harry's new boss is Draco, but the fact he's developing a crush on him. ^^

Let me give you a bit of background to this fic: Draco is the new Head of the new Curse and Lock Breaking Department, and Harry is the Auror Liaison, which basically mean Draco is Harry's boss. And Draco is not the easiest boss to work with, but that's fine, too, because Harry is a good Auror, he's efficient. Only when feelings are involved, it's a little more complicated.

There's plenty of oblivious!Harry in this fic, if you like that, you're going to love this story, and there pining, yep. There's also a statue of an angel, but you'll learn what's that about in the fic. ^^

They have really interesting cases, too, which will explain the title. Interesting and sweet. :)

Summary: Random chance sends the opportunity to work with Potter straight into Draco's lap, and he doesn't exactly mind it, to tell the truth. But then the disappearances start, and as they strive to solve a case that becomes increasingly sinister as time goes on, Draco's thoughts become filled with both Potter and the little girl that happened upon Draco in quite the same way as Potter did.

I admit, the summary of this fic had me at "Potter straight into Draco's lap". I was done, and once I started reading I couldn't be happier.

Indeed, Harry does land right into Draco's lap, but there's a lot more happening in this fic. The Floo Network has started to malfunction, first sending people to different places, then people disappearing altogether. Luckily Auror Draco Malfoy is on the case, but you know how's he working with? Harry Potter, who works as Floo Network overseer. Together they will solve this.

But again, there's more than that. There's attraction, and there's resistance to that attraction, pining, lovely characterisations and a brilliant ending.

Summary: Draco's life after the war is quite different than it used to be. When he finds himself cursed, with little hope for lifting the spell, he sets out to make the most of the time he has left. Getting to know his Aunt Andromeda and his young cousin Teddy feels like a good thing to do, even if it can't help him in the long run...or can it?

This fic, oh god, so wonderful! The thing is, well, as the summary says, Draco's been cursed, the nature of the curse it was to prove that no one could ever love Draco, and he would die – waste away – in a determined amount of time unless someone fell in love with him.

And you know, at first he tries to find someone who would love him, in his own way, he did try, but soon enough he gives up and tries to make the best of the time he has. He wants to reconnect with his family, and this means Andromeda and Teddy, and of course, Harry is always there. And oh my god, you can tell where this is going yeah?

Yep. I'm not going to say anything else. Wait, actually I am going to say more, because Draco meeting Teddy and spending time with him and Andromeda and Harry and the people who matter to them because he cares about them is just so sweet and wonderful. :) But yeah, that's all I'm going to say.

Trust me, this fic will leave you with a big smile on your face. :D

Summary: It all started when Charlie casually mentioned he was taking Draco out on a date. Harry wasn't jealous, not in the least, just concerned. For Charlie, that is, definitely not for Draco.

Such a funny fic. As the summary says, Harry learns that Charlie is going out on a date with Draco, and for ~reason~ Harry has a lot of problems with this (shocking, I know! :D). The thing is, he decides to take matters into his own hands, and by this, obviously he means ~stalking Draco.

But eventually he has to face the reason why he's so unsettled with the whole idea of Draco dating Charlie -- if that's what really happening. He'll get to the bottom of it. So very cute.

Summary: During a routine clearing of an old Death Eater house, Harry stumbles over an ancient spell that sends him somewhere completely different. He has to work out where he is and how to get back. Or if he even wants to.
Content/Warning(s): Of-screen mpreg, time travel.

Time!Travel fic, and it's awesome.

The story starts with Harry and Draco working on an ancient house, Draco, brilliant curse-breaking, can't undo an enchantment on a door, but it seems benigne, so Harry stepts through the door and next thing he knows, he wakes up in a different time, with a very naked Draco next to him, and a whole life which he knows nothing of.

It's sweet, because the more Harry sees of this life, the more he wants. Sweet and sexy.

This fic is bottom!Draco on screen, but it's heavily hinted of bottom!Harry, and off-screen mpreg!Harry. :)
