Summary: When Harry encounters a frail and fidgety Draco Malfoy at the Ministry, he just knows something is wrong and he’s determined to get to the bottom of it.
A story about Deadly Nightshade, crippling insomnia, excellent wine … and finding what you need in the strangest of circumstances.
Content/Warning(s): Potions addiction

There's so much lovely hurt/comfort in this fic. It starts when Draco summons Harry to his office for a work-related interview (Draco's working on a reform of Wizengamot Hearing procedures) and he needed to interview Harry about his hearing back from Fifth Year. Anyway, Harry is super curious about what Draco's been up to but once he sees Draco he realises there's something wrong with him. Days pass without hearing from Draco again so he takes a chance and goes to see him again, only to find him unconscious, and after taking him to St Mungo's, learning he had an unintentional overdose of Dreamless Sleep Potion.

He's surprised by how worried he is, how much he cares, and from then on, he's there for Draco every step of the way. There's a lot of emphasis on the comfort here, to the point that Draco practically moves in with Harry. And of course, eventually realising their feelings for reach other. Lovely. :)

Summary: Seven years ago, Harry disappeared out of Draco and Scorpius's life without a trace after Harry's addictions destroyed his and Draco's marriage. Now, Harry’s back, and Draco wants to believe he’s changed. But Harry isn’t the only one haunted by the past.
Content/Warning(s): potion/alcohol addiction and recovery.

Oh god, this fic, so touching and wonderful.

This story contains mentions of potion/alcohol addiction, but it's not about that, it's about recovery. It actually starts when Harry has an overdose and Draco, not knowing what else to do, decides to leave Harry because he can't see him do this to himself any more, and he also needs to think about Scorpius, whom they were raising together.

Time moves forward and then one day Draco is in Muggle London when he sees an exhibition showing stained glass art. He goes into the art gallery and he's immediately drawn to all the different pieces. He's very curious about the artist and eventually he finds out the artist is Harry, whom he hasn't heard from or seen since that fateful day.

We learn Harry's recovered from his addiction, we learn how hard it's been, how Harry has been coping with everything, and we also learn these two love each other madly.

It's lovely, truly, see them try again, getting to know each other again, learning how much Harry's missed Draco and Scorpius and just seeing them building their live together back. It's wonderful and touching and there's pining and UST and coming back together. Yep, wonderful. ^^

Summary: I can’t help but wonder if Potter’s really as fine as he claims to be. There’s something strange about seeing the vanilla hero of the wizarding world eye-fucking someone across a crowded bar before slipping off into the shadows - Draco Malfoy escapes to the Muggle world to avoid his parents, memories of the war and Harry Potter. However, some things prove harder to escape than others as Draco realises when his favourite Muggle haunt is rudely invaded by a post-war Harry who is struggling to cope with grief, growing up and the battle with his inner demons.
Content/Warning(s): Mentions of using sex and drugs as a coping mechanism

This story is just amazing. God. As the summary says, after the war Draco escapes to the Muggle world. He finds a place where, well, it's not that he "fits", but it's a place where no one cares about his past, where no one looks at him with scorn, where he can lose himself and be anyone or no one.

However, everything changes when Harry start showing to the same club Draco is used to going. And Harry is so different than Draco expected. He looks free, untroubled. But nothing is as simple as that, because Harry in his own way, he's running away, too, hiding from his own problems and grief, and eager to lose himself.

Only they find each other, they talk, and whatever misconception they have of the other, once they start knowing, really knowing each other, they realise maybe they are not so different after all and maybe together, they can heal and move on.

Trust me, it's gorgeous, the way Draco reacts to Harry, the way he starts wanting him and Harry Draco, is incredible. It's intense and sexy, and yeah, it's hard at times, making yourself vulnerable but God, it's gorgeous to see it happening. I'm telling you, amazing.

I'm using the 'drug use/addictions' tag, but it's as the author's warnings say, sex and drugs are used as a coping mechanism, this is not an addiction story, I'm just being cautious. ^^

Summary: Since the rather singular incident of being a Horcrux for many years has left Harry with a sensitivity to Dark magic, Harry begins training with Jacob, a Wizard who lives in New York, using this sensitivity to his advantage to cleanse magical spaces of Dark magic.
After a year of training, Draco Malfoy shows up, wanting to learn from Jacob as well, and unexpectedly the two men grow a bond, both magical and physical. But Jacob’s sudden death leaves Harry floundering and growing increasingly dependent on drugs and sex to avoid his problems.
After his brief and tumultuous affair with Draco ends, Harry begins a life of travel, avoiding returning home permanently and continuing his drug habit. He flits from job to job, from place to place, never settling down for a moment, until, years later, Harry is called back to England by his friends to help Draco find his way out of a cursed Manor.
Content/Warning(s): Drug Use and Addiction, Original character Death, sex under the influence and the dub-con associated with that.

This story, it's just so powerful and angsty and amazing.The summary is going to give you a really good idea what the fic is about.

Harry travels to America to become an apprentice for Cleansing Dark Magic. There he meets Jacob, and you're going to love him, he's truly an amazing character, intriguing and brilliant. Harry, well, Harry has feelings for him. But soon after, Draco arrives to be learn with Jacob (and Harry), too. And man, Harry and Draco's relationship, I mean, they way the related, treat each other, how they are at the beginning is brilliant, and more so once they start this thing. It's more than just 'a thing', it's meaningful, and while Harry still feels something for Jacob, there's no denying what he feels for Draco is powerful, too.

Only, after Jacob dies during a job, Harry spirals out of control, at the beginning he starts doing drugs to cope with the loss and the pain and the guilt, but soon it's clear he has a problem, and eventually Draco can't take it any more. He feels he can't reach Harry and leave. And god, it hurts so good. To see Harry hurting this bad, feeling lonely and lost and unable to face his problem, failing his friends (and work), and ultimately facing all the mistakes he's made.

It's a bit hard to read, I guess, but that's because it's very powerful and real and full of feels, but it's amazing, and trust me, the ending is amazing, too. Harry comes a long way, finds forgiveness in a way, finds a place where he belongs, and Draco is there, and his friends are there. It's an amazing journey, this fic.

Summary: Harry is a drug addict, and helping him proves more difficult than Draco initially thought.
Content/Warning(s): Drug addiction, drug usage, referenced rape (not between Harry and Draco), non-con due to drug use (not between Harry and Draco), violence, language, sex

This story is just heart-aching, it's so visceral and real, it's incredible.

As the summary says, Harry is a drug addict, and at first Draco tries to help him for selfish reasons, he didn't truly know anything about addictions, but then he starts to see how afflicted Harry really is, how bad and deep his addiction runs. It breaks the heart. Of course, it stops about being Draco's reasons and it's all about helping Harry, trying to help him, and discover again and again how far Harry's fallen into this.

I'm telling you, it's amazing. Yes, it hurts, it hurts so bad for Harry, for Draco, but read it, it's amazing, it's real and the ending is wonderful.

Summary: When an ancient spell book is discovered in an abandoned vault, Harry--a Curse breaker--and Draco--an Unspeakable--are called in to examine it. Draco does everything in his power to resist Potter's advances, despite his growing crush. Potter just wants sex, he assumes, and Draco doesn't want to be used. He discovers, however, that some things simply aren't within our power to control.
Content/Warning(s): some recreational drug use

This fic, oh, it's so exciting and so, so good!

In one side we have Harry – awesome curse-breaker and Unspeakable!Draco have to work together on a most mysterious book, a dangerous book, which gets stolen, and there's a whole conspiracy behind it, and that is super exciting!

And on the other side we have Harry and Draco and their interactions, they way they work together, constantly bickering, too (love), and while it's pretty obvious that Harry wants Draco, Draco doesn't want to be with him until Harry himself knows exactly what it is that he was from Draco.

And it's great, seeing this happening, how the plot moves and their relationship evolves. It has amazing characterisations, such an intriguing plot and a brilliant ending.

Summary: The Malfoy Manor is a state run museum, renamed The Voldemort Manor by the Ministry for Magic. As part of his probation, Draco is assigned as sole caretaker. When the Manor hosts a series of high class events celebrating the Wizarding World’s fourth Yuletide season Post War, it brings with it a swathe of people Draco hasn’t seen in years; including one, Harry Potter.
Warning(s): Past Sexual Coercion (not H/D), Drug use

Written from Draco's POV, Draco is caretaking for Voldemort Manor as a part of his probation, which is actually Malfoy Manor, turned into a museum of sorts, exhibiting many of the historical (horrific) moments for the war while Voldemort had rein over the Manor.

It is at one of the events held at the Manor when Draco meets Harry after many years, and Harry, he's a bit of a mess, okay, he's a disaster happening, but Draco sees him, and Harry sees him, too, because there's a fragility about Draco, I don't mean he's weak, he's strong, he's been through a lot, yet every day he struggles with his life and keeps going, and Harry is drawn to him, he always has been. In each other they find some solace. But by consorting with Harry, Draco violates the terms of his parole, and Draco's ready to give up, only Harry won't let him.

It's angsty, lovely and so very emotional; a great story.

Summary: Draco Malfoy had never planned on letting Harry Potter save his life. It just sort of happened. But there were a lot of things he hadn’t planned on either. Like getting caught.
Warning(s): Drug use, addictions.

I love reading stories where Harry is a bit of a mess, and he's one big mess in this story; he drinks too much, he gets high, he has no responsibilities and he's distanced himself from his friends.

But Draco is there for him, first because his life debt calls him, but only at first, eventually it so much more than that.

This story was written pre DH, but it's amazing how well it fits canon. Also, there is a threesome scene, but really, it's the sort of scene that it's all about Harry and Draco, you know? It's wonderful.

Summary: Harry is a Seer, with a particular affinity for speaking to the dead, but this comes at a price he’s slowly killing himself to pay.
Warning(s): Drug Use, Addiction

This is such a great story. God. You see, Harry is a Seer, something about him dying and coming back allows him to speak to the dead, to have this empathy of sorts. And the only way he can deal with, well, everything, his life, his friend, his Sight, is being high on Potions and pills. But you see, it's so fantastically well written, it's like diving into Harry's mind and understanding everything he's going through. Sensing his friends' fear of him, his loneliness, the pain of feeling himself disconnected from others.

And then there's Draco, who is his contact, who grounds him and his magic while he's on a trance, who wants to help him, to be there for Harry, if only Harry lets him.

It's angsty, yes, but it's such a gorgeous story, about giving chances and allowing yourself to be helped and even loved, too. It's beautiful and hopeful, and lordy, it's got some of the most delicious sex I've read.

Summary: Harry was a hero, but now he’s not. Unable to cope with his peaceful, mundane life, he acts out with violence, vandalism, and hedonistic behaviors. He is sentenced to community service for his crimes, and there he finds a reason to move on.

I love me some troubled Harry, and this fic is a great story of Harry's wonderful recovery from being an alcoholic with erratic behaviour to watch him finding his happiness and peace.

And it's really amazing, seeing him struggling and growing, learning from his mistakes. You'll see a human side of Harry, messing up, hurting the people he loves, but also picking himself up and being the best he can be without expectations of the idea he had of himself, you know? And there's Draco, too, who is trying to find himself as well, and together, well, they find what they might have been looking for all along.

This fic is fun, exciting, and emotional. It's really brilliant.

Summary: Three months in, Harry is almost certain they are friends. Truth be told they only ever speak on Saturday afternoons, when the meetings occur. It’s part of their truce, maybe. Out here, in the Muggle world, they’re not really Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, nor are they the plethora of things that attach themselves to those names. Or, Harry and Draco go to AA.
Warning(s): alcoholism

I had a lump in my throat all the time while reading this story. I think I might have been swallowing back tears.

Harry and Draco are attending the same AA meeting, and it's incredibly touching.

It's written from Harry's POV, and it explores a side of Harry's character that I find very emotional: the way he was raised—kept, rather, by the Dursleys. This isn't the only issue Harry deals with, nor is the solely reason for the drinking problem he's facing, but it's a big part. I loved how the author handled it.

I loved Harry here, brave in his own way but so very vulnerable, and I loved Draco, he's both snarky yet gentle, hesitating and confident. They are both lovely written.

Summary: Things seem to be going incredibly well for Draco Malfoy after the war. He's working as a professor at Hogwarts and makes the papers all the time for his charitable contribution to Muggle causes. But when Malfoy is rushed into St Mungos for a psychotic break, Healer-trainee Harry Potter realizes that Malfoy's success is not all what it seems and sometimes luck can have more than one meaning.
Warning(s): Substance abuse, addictions

This is a lovely story. Draco is a potions' addict, Felix Felicis, of all things, and Harry, Healer in training, is working at St. Mungos, and during his rotation on the addicts' ward, he'll be in charge of Draco's rehabilitation.

This is Draco painful journey to recovery, from his denial to even having a problem to his sad acceptance and finally admitting he needs help. And Harry is there for him, in every step of the way, willing Draco to see he is more than the sum of his mistakes, offering him a second chance.

But it's funny and sweet too, because even though they bicker all the time, they find relief in one another, they truly get to know each other. Draco's vulnerable moments are amazing, and Harry clumsy as he is at these emotional times, always knows what to tell him, how to comfort him.

Lovely and very emotional.

Summary: Harry thinks "Why is Malfoy working in a coffee shop in muggle London?" is a much simpler question than, "Are you going to accept that auror offer and, if you don't, what will you do?"

This is a gorgeous story. It's about self-discovery and self-acceptance.

Harry being adrift after the war and encountering Draco, living and working in the Muggle world, being drawn to him and along the way finding out things about himself he had buried deep inside him.

It's about changes, too, not just changes of perspective of how Draco saw the world, but Harry changes, too. He allows himself to be open, and he grows, they both do. And it's brilliant.

Summary: After twelve years as a multiplatinum band there is one thing that you learn…when on tour, ANYTHING goes!
Warning(s): Non Magical AU

This is a Non Magical AU, in which Harry is a worldwide famous rock star.

As the plot develops there are bit of interviews Harry's given through the years, and that's where Harry really shines, when you can recognise the boy he was, or rather, the boy he could have been without the burden of a Magical War on his shoulders.

But he's in the closet, way back, until he meets this guy from a Hot Sex Line called Dark Desires. And he's going to change Harry's life, making it more wonderful and crazy than it already is.

If you are not into AUs, and definitely not Americans AUs, (I know a lot of people avoid them) I really encourage you to give this story a try. It's going to hook you from the very start and it's going to deliver something fantastic; emotional, exciting, fun and very sexy.

Summary: "Love is like a Rubix Cube: there are countless wrong twists and turns, but once you get it right, it's perfect no matter how you look at it." Sixty-thousand words of pornographic discourse between two boys-turned-men that still haven't learned how to communicate like normal people – with words.
Warning(s): excessive use of the word "cunt"; drug use; RACK D/s; consensual violence, humiliation, voyeurism; mild BDSM; toy/prop use; orgasm denial; sub drop/afterfluff; mildly implied past/off-stage alcoholism and non-con/abuse; happy ending

This is a very powerful story because the characterisation of Draco and Harry are powerful like that.

Draco, he's immature, a bit of a bastard, a bit of a mess, but all this have its root because of everything he went through during the war. The story makes you understand where he's coming from. And he needs something, it's clear that sometimes even himself doesn't know what it is, until he has it.

He's working as a Dom for rent, a prostitute, and one night Harry Owls him and hires him.

Their relationship is very bumpy, but so very intense. Beautiful and crazy at the same time. And the sex! The sex is beyond hot, some of the hottest I've ever read. God.

One of the many things I loved about this story is that the characters remained faithful to their characterisation, they don't change to fit the plot, but the plot develops naturally as they grow, you know? I don't know if that makes sense. I hope it does.

This fic was an instant favourite.

Also, this story is mainly bottom!Harry. There's a scene of switching, but mostly is top!Draco. But I honestly tell you, if you're not into Bottom!Harry, this fic is going to show you just how very well he can take it. :D And it has some beautiful, sexy art accompanying the story.

A very short piece, but so very full of emotions. Draco is a Potion addict, and Harry is taking care of him, and he won't leave him, to whatever end it might come.

Harry had known that life among muggles probably wouldn't be easy for them, but discovering that Malfoy works as street hustler was certainly not what he expected.
Warning(s): Drug use, prostitution, addiction recovery.

This fic is so dramatic and angsty.

Harry finds Draco working on the streets in the Muggle world, as a prostitute. He can't stop thinking about him, and decides to help him, but it's more to it than that, Draco's problems ran deeper than Harry thought. He's a drug addict. And this is his slow and painful journey to recovery.

This fic has a short Vignette here.

Harry is having an awful time at the celebrations at the Ministry. He turns to drinking, only Draco has other ideas, which include mistaking glue for lube, vandalising & wreaking havoc. Not in that order.

I reckon everybody has read this fic, and with reason, it's one of the funniest stories I've read, fun and sexy and just brilliant.

Warning(s): Please be aware that this fic contains quite a bit of angst, mental abuse, and some hints of sexual abuse.

Harry is in an abusing relationship with Terry Boot, and Draco is the only person who, slowly, is starting to see the extend of the damage Terry has inflicted on Harry.

I like how protective Draco is of Harry, and I like how Harry slowly comes back into his own self. Very touching.

Summary: After the war, Harry Potter is left with no one to save, no one to fight, and one extra wand. Draco Malfoy escapes punishment by leaving the country... or so he thinks. Seven years pass before they see each other again. Draco is no longer the master of his wand and a battle of talent and wills ensues. A story of a wand without a true master, and two men who fight to master each other... and themselves.

This is such an incredible story. The Malfoys have left Britain, but after Narcissa's death they come back. However with his return Draco discovers he's no longer the master of his hand, and to regain it, he needs Harry Potter's help, only Harry is no shape to help anyone.

I love the characterisations of both Harry and Draco, and how nothing is easy between them. It's not a simple story of mastering a wand, on the way they discover a lot about of each other and themselves.

It's a very emotional journey, with this Harry who is so messed up and Draco who doesn't know how to help him, doesn't even know how to show he cares. It's beautiful though, to see them come together, to accept the help that is offered, in different ways. I love it.

Summary: Some wounds take longer to recover from than others.

This is a very dramatic story, because it deals with aftermath of the war, with the issues and even traumas Harry and Draco have as survivors.

It's not Deathly Hallows complaint, Draco was a spy for the Order, and, as such, he was never accepted by the very side he was fighting for. This is how he copes, with his lonely life, with his demons. And the incredible different it makes when he learns there is someone out there who honestly care for him, someone with whom he has so many things in common. And of course, with it comes for Harry the time to face his own demons.

Gorgeous, truly. I personally love it, even though I know these issues aren't solved as easily.

Warning(s): Epilogue compliant

This is a very dramatic story, not just about what Harry and Draco go through after Draco loses his wife and Harry's divorce, but also about what the children, all of them, go through during this time.

Draco in deep depression and Harry not quite knowing what to do, to help Draco and to figure out his own life. With Ginny who has been a total bitch about the whole thing.

I love Albus and Scorpius on this story. It's really them who bring their parents together, not exactly playing to matchmaking, not at all, but rather thinking that they could find solace in each other. I love Harry's relationship with them, too.

Warning(s): Epilogue compliant– to a degree. 9 years later instead of 19.

I love this story because through much of it, Harry is so conflicted about love. As if he never learn how to love. Actually, Harry is very troubled here, he has a lot of issues, and although Draco is his therapist and he is trying to help, the way he reacts to Harry is anything but professional.

Also, though this story is very dramatic and angsty, it has one of the hottest office sex scene I've read.

Summary: The Battle of Hogwarts was lost, but after ten years of tyranny and terror, Harry Potter has finally defeated Voldemort. Slowly, those who suffered the most under Voldemort’s reign – the half-bloods, the Muggleborns and the blood traitors – emerge from their enslavement, literally and figuratively, seeking refuge and comfort and healing from a group of volunteers, organized by Harry’s friend Hermione Granger, working out of the half-ruined St. Giles-Without-Cripplegate Church. New friendships are kindled, laughter shared, and secrets spoken, and all the while a bell tolls. The final message from one man to another, whose deepest secret only now does he understand.
Warning(s): Rentboy; off-stage character death; and frank discussions of bodily functions, torture, grief, death and love.

Narrated from an unknown Muggle-born rentboy's POV. This is a story that will stay with you long after you've read it.

It's very powerful and intense. There is a warning for a Major Character Death, but being written as a narration of the happenings, it gives you the distance you need to read it without the pain of the death being too overwhelming.

It's not a happy story, but there's no denying it has some pretty amazing parts, sexy even, and powerful. I can almost hear those bells rining.

A bit of angst, a bit of fluff, and lovely ending.
