2022.04 ~ Top 10 longest fics posted on AO3
1.When Times are Direby@aibidil [E, 130k]
►Magical Britain is screwed, and it’s once again up to Harry to save it. This time, by marrying Draco Malfoy.
2.Make This Leapby@oflights [M, 118k]
►Harry owns a struggling restaurant which is running out of money, and his Head Chef has just handed in notice. He’s at a bit of a loss as to what to do until Narcissa Malfoy presents an obvious solution: bring in Draco Malfoy as Chef and part owner. Harry does.
3.Pages of Youby@wolfpants [E, 102k]
►Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He’s not ready. He really isn’t. In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather’s bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he’s catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius’s business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire. […]
►The war is over. Sentenced for his crimes, Draco Malfoy finds himself looking at several long years in Azkaban. Behind bars, Lucius and Narcissa are scheming to get their son out of prison, and they’re not above involving the Boy-Who-Lived. Harry, of course, never could say no when it comes to saving people.
5.Two Shadows in the Nightby@ubiestveritas [T, 80k]
►Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry returns to his old school to claim the position of DADA teacher. The way he’s been ignoring his issues and trying to live up to everyone’s impossibly high expectations is catching up to him. Will a certain blond ex-Death Eater be able to help him finally heal?
6.Echoing Greenby@thegatheringdust [E, 70k]
►Back at Hogwarts for his eighth year, Draco is offered the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to enter a prestigious potion competition and maybe salvage his future. The only catch? He has to work with Potter. After everything they’ve been through, asking for Potter’s help seems like Draco’s worst nightmare. But as they struggle to heal old wounds, Draco begins to question everything he thought he knew about himself and about the boy who won’t stop staring at him with those terrible green eyes.
7.The Writing on The Wallbyinkycreamscone [M, 56k]
►in which Draco is an outcast, Harry is the Golden Boy, and a Muggle song scrawled on a shower wall, of all things, bridges the years of… everything between them. The only hitch is- neither of them realise who they’re communicating with as they scribble lyrics down one after the other.
8.I Wish I Could Forgetbyliterary_lion [M, 55k]
►Draco Malfoy disappears one night and Harry begins to doubt the likelihood of the quiet year at Hogwarts he had hoped for. But Harry’s suspicions are turned on their head when he discovers that Malfoy is the one who needs his help (not that the stubborn git will admit it). // A story of building and fighting for connections in the aftermath of trauma.
9.The Golden Boyby@flightinflame [M, 53k]
►A spell cast in anger exposes a secret Draco wanted kept hidden, and Harry has to try and deal with the consequences of his impulsiveness, pass his OWLs, and manage the relationship that is forming between him and the boy he assumed was his enemy.
10.Draco Malfoy the Reconstructed Slytherin Princebygokioh [T, 48k]
►Returning for his 8th year at Hogwarts; Draco must face the challenges of trying to better the Malfoy name, gain the highest grades for his N.E.W.T.s and take charge of his life again. It’s a lot harder when he now has the entirety of the Slytherin students looking at him for guidance and his friends ready and waiting for his orders.
※HONOURABLE MENTIONS :
11.The BondbyMyneighbourtodoro_ki [T, 47k]
►Harry is an auror and Draco a potioneer. A new potion is sweeping across wizarding Britain and Harry is tasked with catching the guys who are behind it. But when does any of Harry Potter’s plans go exactly as planned?
12.Heal Thyselfby@astolat [T, 46k]
►[…] “What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
13.Coming to my sensesbysuhtmuikkis [T, 44k]
►Harry and Draco are forced to live together due to a spell/potion accident gone wrong. To make matters more interesting, they need to navigate a world where Harry loses one sense at a time, while Draco gets theirs heightened.
14.Once and Never AgainbyAvonne [E, 40k]
►One morning after with his sworn enemy should be enough to warn Draco that he’s going down a dangerous path. But does he learn? Of course not. Month after month, he finds himself returning to Potter’s embrace. What is wrong with him?
