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: 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 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. ^^

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: “Don’t you think I would have gone to Pomfrey if I thought she could help me?”

“Then what can I do?”

“I nee—” Malfoy broke off with a soft grunt and a pained expression. He took a shaky breath and tried again, his voice wobbling. “Will you touch me, Potter?”

Draco is cursed to speak in questions. Well...Spelled, thanks to the stupidly improper archival practices of the fourth century. Harry Potter is there to save the day, but Draco isn’t going to give in to his help so easily. Fortunately, the method of saving might be more satisfactory than Draco expected this time.


Have you read this yet? This story is completely brilliant! So there's Draco who, in an interesting turn of events (and I really don't want to say anything about that because !!!!) is spelled to speak only in questions, but there's a catch, it's only in truthful questions. And it turns out that Harry is the only person who can help him in this predicament, which does not sit well with Draco because he sort of tired of Harry always saving him.

Harry in the meantime is barely coming to terms with him being, erm, interested (for not saying obsessed with) in Draco in a slightly different way than back in Sixth Year.

So now Draco has to ask for Harry's help (who is Most Willing to Help™) and he's only able to question his way into an explanation. It's all kinds of brilliant, this fic. And smoking hot, too!

Summary: There's usually a better time and place to participate in seduction than the Forbidden Forest. Unless, of course, it's Mating Season. // In which Draco is sneaky but not sneaky enough, Harry is confident but goes a bit mad, and the Trees are either incredibly romantic or just sort of perverts.
Content/Warning(s): Face-fucking, hung!Harry, rimming

This is an absolutely delicious story, a very loose retelling of Little Red Riding Hood and let me tell you, at one point Harry's wearing his red clock and carrying a basket (later with flowers) and it's basically the best thing ever. It'll all make sense, I promise! :D

It starts with Draco being in the forbidden forest, picking up Potions ingredients (he's doing his Potions fellowship at Hogwarts) and in comes Harry in search of some magic flowers. Of course Draco is also very interested in these magic flowers Harry's after. And that they are both super attracted to each other, well, that helps, too. Helps a lot, actually, so much UST!

Then – god, you should just read it because then Draco's obviously hiding something and obviously Harry's got to see what it is and then there's hung!Harry and Draco gets sneezed on by a flower and goes mad with lust and – yeah, it's crazy and amazing. :D

Summary: He had absolutely no idea what was about to happen. Maybe Malfoy would kick him in the face. Maybe he’d scream loud enough that the whole school would rush in and see him lying there between Malfoy’s legs with his cock rock hard. Maybe he’d hex Harry’s rock hard cock off. Hell, maybe Harry’d wake in his own bed in a few minutes with a rock hard cock and would never again be able to look at Malfoy without sprouting an instant hard-on. // Or maybe he and Malfoy would have sex.


This fic, oh my god, it's crazy and it's awesome! It starts with Harry being in the hospital wing because a Bludger hit him during a Quidditch game. Then he wakes up in the middle of the night and now the bed next to his is occupied, and the person in there is moaning and groaning. And he's thirsty. I mean, just, literally thirsty not—you get the idea. So he pours himself a glass of water and peeks onto the other bed and, yep, it's Draco having a wet dream, only Harry realises this he sort of drops his glass of water. Onto Draco. Then one thing leads to the other and ^ *points at summary* Things get really good! \o/

It's every bit as crazy as it sounds. Brilliant!

Summary: When Draco finally gets his first real assignment as a reporter for the Daily Prophet, he didn’t imagine that he would be given the Potter beat. Resigning himself to writing boring pieces about dull charity functions and various Auror missions, Draco is more than surprised when he follows Potter into Muggle London and discovers Potter’s secret.
Content/Warning(s): mentions of Harry/OMCs, past Draco/Blaise if you squint

Awesome fic, in which Draco, after years working at the Daily Prophet is finally given a serious assignment, which is, Potter Watch, basically. He doesn't see the humour in it, though Blaise clearly does:

“Look at you, fulfilling your teenage aspiration to follow Potter around with a running commentary,” Blaise teased, elbowing Draco sharply in the soft space under his ribs.

And so Draco starts following Harry and discovers something rather interesting. Basically Harry going to Muggle London and spending his night at gay nightclubs. In fact:

He spent the better part of an hour trying not to die of shock as he watched the wizarding world’s Golden Boy grinding his arse against the groin of the man he was dancing with.

Quite the revelation, yeah? :D But then Draco makes himself seen and one thing leads to another and soon Harry abandons the Muggle to spend his night with Draco (yes, like that!) and –well, it's rather awesome, with a bit of oblivious Draco and smitten Harry and Draco and sexy times!

Summary: If he’d been thinking straight, Draco would have guessed that Harry didn’t do things by halves, and that hopping into bed with him would be as exhilarating and impossible to control as anything Draco’d ever felt about the stupid tosser ― but even Draco could admit that keeping a level-head around Harry wasn’t exactly his strong point.
Content/Warning(s): Edging, orgasm delay/denial, sexual frustration, anal sex, intergluteal sex, blow jobs, face fucking, rimming, dirty talk, masturbation, slightly rough-ish sex, wrist pinning (actually there are a lot more so very yummy. :D Do check the warning/content tags!)

This fic is so good, so hot, it's alsdjfasdf worthy of a keyboard smash. :D It's actually one long smut scene and delicious in every way, in which Harry and Draco are having sex, Draco ponders on how much he wants Harry, their friends-with-benefit arrangement and going mad basically because Harry's teasing him and teasing him and teasing him over and over, taking him to the brink and then teasing him some more. There's banter and feelings and it's fantastic!

Summary: Harry been prepared for things to go poorly with Draco Malfoy as his assigned partner for the next six weeks of Auror training, but getting themselves accidentally bonded to each other in the first twenty minutes of their very first assignment seemed going above and beyond, even for them.

Bonding fic! \o/ And yep, like the summary says, right after being assigned to partners and in their very first mission, one that should have been quite easy, they end up bonded. :D After a brief ~debate about how they are going to handle being bonded, Harry moves in to Draco's flat and at first it seems it's going to be okay, but then—actually, I'm going to leave you with a little quote:

Because Malfoy was an attractive person, Harry couldn’t deny that. He’d known for years that Malfoy was exactly his type. But for years that knowledge had only remained an idle observation because Malfoy was horrible and it was really hard to be properly attracted to someone when you also wanted to punch them in their stupid pointy nose all the time. But this Malfoy? Who was still a little sleepy and still a little rumpled, warm and loose and relaxed and for once not being a total arse?

Yeah. Harry could already see this was going to be a problem.

!!! So wonderful! :D

Summary: When Draco Malfoy is forced to go undercover among the remaining Death Eaters in the aftermath of the war, the last person he expects to find there is Harry Potter.

This story is so completely cool. Oh my god! Okay, so the story starts with us finding out that Harry and Draco are secretly undercover in a sort of Death Eater hideout, only, then we learn, at first neither knew the other was another spy. So they are ~fraternising with the enemy~ in theory, only they are not enemies, in appearance, both are bad guys. And it's amazing, because they bicker and banter and keep giving themselves away in little ways and they have sex and – I don't know if I'm making this fic sound confusing, it really isn't. It's incredible, infiltrated Harry and Draco, fighting the good fight and saving the day. It's SUPER! :D

Summary: In which Harry thinks he’s a playboy, everyone else knows better, and Hermione will kill Seamus if Ron tries to collect on that bet.

This fic is so awesome. There's a lot of smut, but you know, that's only one of the many awesome things about it.

The thing is, Harry is perfectly content with his life, but all around him his friends have someone, they are getting married, and they, Hermione in the lead, want to see him happy as well, so, they had this idea that for every wedding they'll set Harry up with someone, and will help Harry find true love. That there's a bet going on to see who sets him up best is by the by. :D

What they don't know is that Harry's been seeing Draco. It's a friends with benefit sort of arrangement, you see, nothing serious. But with each disastrous date Harry endures he realises maybe this thing with Draco isn't quite as simple.

So much smut! And pining, and gorgeous Draco, and friends first, and—well, it's wonderful. :)

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: When Draco desperately insists on becoming a Centaur Liaison, he doesn’t know what he’s getting into, especially with that annoying hero-turned-hermit Harry Potter living right at the entrance to the Forbidden Forest. Not to mention foreign unicorn women, slavering three headed beasts, bitter brews, unexpected friendships, and the consequences of a very cocky vocabulary.

This is such a darling of a fic, truly.

The summary is pretty clear; Draco is about to be made redundant at the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, but the thing is, he really needs that job, so he ~grabs this position as a Centaur Liaison, which apparently nobody wants because Centaurs want nothing to do with wizards and basically it's a dead-end job. But he's determined! And after talking to McGonagall he gets the clear to be able to go into the Forbidden Forest, only he has to check in with the groundskeeper, which turns to be Harry, filling in while Hagrid is away.

God, Draco's voice here is a darling, and he has this way to talk – it's really, really funny. And at first Harry's suspicious of Draco but then he sees Draco means business as Draco tries pretty much everything to successfully liaison with the Centaurs.

Like I said, it's very funny and witty and sweet, too. Plenty of magical creatures abound! :)

Summary: When Draco accidentally bonds with a newly-hatched dragon, and a queen no less, his life will never be the same.
Content/Warning(s): Non Magical AU

This story has such a cool premise! It's a Dragonriders of Pern fusion, but let me tell you, you don't need to know anything about it to enjoy and love this fic. I didn't and I found it super original! :D

The story starts when Draco, while collecting ingredients for potions, stumbles upon a dragon's egg, a wild queen's egg. As he was carrying the egg to Hogsmeade so the egg could find her human bondmate, the egg starts hatching. Now, traditionally queen dragons only bond with women (drakes do so with the men), but Draco's dragon bonds with him right away. It causes quite a stir in the village, but they accept it and Draco's life changes.

He loves his queen dragon, but once his queen is ready to mate, well, things get just a little complicated. Draco thinks none of the dragonrides would allow their drakes to mate with Salzaria (that's how he names her!), but of course, Harry is the only rider that has the temerity to send his drake, Hedwig. And so, like their dragons, Harry and Draco mate.

It's really cool and even sweet, see the progression of their relationship. It's a bit distant and uncomfortable at the beginning, but they both try to make it work, and you can see they become really fond of each other with time. ;)
