Harry/Draco (2022, Teen and Up, 22k)

Just as Draco Malfoy’s life seems to be getting back on track, the magic at Malfoy Manor is spinning out of control. Auror partners Harry Potter and Angelina Johnson are assigned to the case and quickly find that nothing about the situation is obvious. The flare ups are unpredictable at best, downright dangerous at worst, and why has a Hogwarts first year gone missing at the same time? Featuring: Draco’s penchant for fancy light fixtures (handmade), Harry’s penchant for wearing only boxers to bed (handsome), a protracted (necessary-ish) stay alone together at Malfoy Manor, and more!

“Yeah, I mean he still annoys me.” Harry thought about it. “We spend all this time together and sometimes I just want to pelt him with small objects. Nothing that would hurt him. Just like, ping, a paper clip, or something.”

This was my first Cluefest pick (curse breaker Harry, my beloved! The “creepy nightgowns” tag might have done it too) and it instantly became a favourite. You can’t go wrong with case fic + unhinged house + forced proximity and I love how iota balances efficient and hot bodyguard Harry doing cool investigative work with a nice slow burn, slice-of-life vibes full of delicious UST. Boy, does this fic deliver! I love the initial animosity, both keeping their distance as if complete strangers, and how the forced proximity makes their dancing around each other an exciting mix of awkward tension and sweet domesticity. And the mystery running across two cases kept me invested in the plot the whole time, even as the alternating POVs stole the scene.

Speaking of, my favourite thing about this fic -  besides the kind of organic, conversational slow burn I just LOVE, feels so real - was the delightful low key humour. You know that bubbly feeling of being caught off guard by an unexpected line that make you snort out loud and go back to reread it? This fic is full of those subtly funny jokes, especially when we’re inside Draco’s head and catch him pining after hot shot Auror Potter in his offensive sleeping boxers, and offensive arms and thighs combo. Draco never stood a chane! For a quiet slow burn, I wasn’t expecting to laugh this much, and the dialogue was witty enough that I never knew when to expect it, which kept me fully engaged and smitten. What a treat!

Their personalities are also a delight, relatable and quite charming; I love Draco’s initial guarded and aloof approach, soften by his interest in tinkering with furniture and fixing things, by his gentle pining and mild self-deprecation. His recluse persona felt very realistic, a refreshing take on the “down and out” trope imo. Harry is a bit slower on the uptake - again, 100% on brand - and his friendship with Hermione cleansed my skin, especially when she teased him about Draco. On a side note, it’s interesting to notice how both Harry and Draco are perfectly content in their loneliness, each has his own routine and lives comfortable in his own skin, welcoming simple things like reading a book or having dinner in companionable silence.

Plus the way they’re so disgustingly sweet to each other after finally getting together? I live and breathe for Harry telling Draco he’s gonna teach him things, or playfully grabbing his foot, or reminiscing about being called “sweetheart” the night before (YES PLS, the way I’ve been obsessing over this endearment lately ). This fic had all the things I love about a slow burn, great unhurried pacing, tentative romance, intriguing plot, charming dialogue. It did my heart so good after an insanely busy week, and I’m sure it will charm its way into someone else’s heart as well. Go ahead and don’t forget to leave kudos and comments!

seven fics to love by vukovich

For@vukovich’s bday, here are some of my fav Vuk fics. Hope you have a wonderfully dark celebration of life!!!

The Seven Weasley Horcruxes
G, <1k, Gen Molly POV, MCD, child loss
This fic feels like all the pieces of a soul put back together. Like Vuk’s carved out Molly Weasley’s soul for us to see, all the bone-weary heartbreak and hope of parenthood. There is a wholeness to the writing…it’s hard for me to explain. Like you come out reading a whole new person. Maybe one of my fav fics of all time.

“I love you, (too/also).”
E, 8.7k, drarry, infidelity, gaslighting, breeding kink, butt plugs, hopeful ending but not in the romantic context
SO as with any vuk fic, there’s a lot going on, but what I love most about this fic is Draco’s POV. His internal monologues are hilarious despite being a fic about people being awful to each other??? Ex: As if I’d eat raw vegetables.  Like a horse.  Granger shovels salad into her horsey face, point proven. I MEAN COME ON.

 2022.03 ~ Top 8 longest fics posted on AO31. Forcing a Legacy by @weiwuxiankinnie [T, 200k]►They sa

2022.03 ~ Top 8 longest fics posted on AO3

1.Forcing a Legacyby@weiwuxiankinnie [T, 200k]

They say that “a butterfly can flap its wings in Peking, and in Central Park, you get rain instead of sunshine”, meaning that even the smallest event can cause drastic changes. So, what would happen if Harry Potter’s spoiled cousin from Surrey went to Hogwarts alongside him, concealing from everyone that he’s a Muggle?

2.The Strange Case of Draco Malfoy’s Mysterious IllnessbyDarkWizard [E, 89k]

Voldemort died, the war ended and come September, the 7th Year students return to Hogwarts to finish their NEWTs. Harry had never noticed how pretty Malfoy’s eyes were before. Meanwhile, Draco is suffering from unexplained stomach pains.

3.An Epic Take On Chanceby@everythingkay [?, 80k]

In which Harry is not the only one who got a second chance during the Battle of Hogwarts. Or, the Ministry of Magic becomes a sort of summer camp for misguided youth (two in particular, it’s very exclusive) right after the war.

4.Finely Drawn Linesby@the-sinking-ship [E, 61k]

Draco doesn’t consider himself an artist (though the dozens of sketchbooks lining his shelves might suggest differently). Yet ever since Potter returned to Hogwarts, accepting a teaching position alongside Draco, his drawings have taken on a rather singular focus. […] So long as Potter remains none the wiser, Draco will have no trouble controlling his crush. But when Potter comes to him with a dangerous proposition, Draco fears things are about to get so much more complicated.

5.and tomorrow, and the earthbycrossourbridges [E, 56k]

After the war, Draco has to learn how to be a person again. Hopefully a better one this time.

6.Once Upon a Decemberby@moosepotter [T, 50k]

Harry Potter grows up in hiding until he is six years old when his family tries to take one small trip. It’s a decision that will cost them their lives, save for Harry, who is left alone in France, his magic shielding him and his memory slipping away of the life he had before. Until one day he decides to go searching for his roots with an unlikely companion with the only clue he has: London.

7.Vis-à-Vis-à-Visby@vukovich [E, 50k]

Harry’s assignment was simple. Close out Draco Malfoy’s missing persons case so he can be declared dead. But who’s making withdrawals from Malfoy’s vaults? How is a death omen-turned-Unspeakable involved? Is an organization known as the Moirai to blame? Harry brushes it off until he can’t. […]

8.Harry Potter’s Chastity AdventurebySpidey_Fan_700 [E, 45k]

Magic is awesome, but there are spells that Harry wished didn’t exist. Like the one Malfoy cast to stop his masturbation. In fact, the spell made it so he couldn’t even get hard unless Draco was there. What’s the poor boy to do?

2022.02 ~ Top 8 longest fics posted on AO3

1.I Just Saved Harry PotterbyStarsAndCrows [?, 148k]

A single wink at Malfoy Manor changes the course of the war.

2.Escaping Realityby@coffeedrgn87 [E, 117k]

Post-war, Draco Malfoy did exactly what was expected of him; he married for convenience and produced an heir to the Malfoy name. Ten years later, and heavily struggling with alcoholism, he’s lost and his wife is at her wits’ end. There’s only one person who can help Draco now and he’s the very last person on earth Draco wants help from. Exactly what will happen when Harry Potter, against Draco’s will, takes charge of his life?

3.Even From Opposite Ends of the Universe - Book Iby@kbrick [E, 114k]

In sixth year, Harry begins obsessively tracking Draco Malfoy’s every move, telling himself it’s the only way to prevent Malfoy from carrying out his dark plans. But as the year progresses, fist fights and mutual animosity gradually give way to a swirling, complicated intimacy that neither boy expects or understands, even as they desperately try to shield it from the outside world.

4.An Anchor of TimebyJ0J0_M0J0 [M, 106k]

Draco has a pocket watch, a family heirloom. Instead of telling time, it informs him about the next coming moment —- how long till your potion burn, or your loved ones wither and lost. It has been seven years since the war was over. Draco now owns a small potion store in a far corner of Knockturn Alley. Despite all the loss and painful changes, he is somewhat settling with his current state of life. It is mostly quiet, which is good, until the day Harry Potter with severe sleep deprivation push open the door and steps into his store. Not long after, his face is stuck on his pocket watch. Harry has a problem for which only Draco has a cure. But perhaps, the problem fixing part is mutual.

5.Chronological Displacementby@bookinit02 [T, 89k]

In which Harry and Draco have a time-turner accident, and many things go wrong, but a lot of things also go right. Featuring: reptilian bonding night, canon-inaccurate animagus lessons, and a fuck-ton of pining.

6.The White Pawnby@soupy-george [T, 80k]

When eighteen-year-old Draco Malfoy finds himself back at Hogwarts on the eve of Voldemort’s infamous return, he is confronted with the most difficult decision he’s ever had to make: Relive the 6th year at school he’s tried so hard to forget, or do the unthinkable and ally himself with Potter’s lot…

7.A Young Man’s GamebyphoneWitch [M, 49k]

Every time they ran into each other, Harry found himself hoping that Malfoy had gotten less attractive, that it would be easier to look at him. But he hadn’t, the bastard. He could have stepped out of the society pages and into the jungle, his clothing immaculate, his hair glowing like a halo. […]

8.Mountain Soundby@steampunkserpent27 [M, 47k]

Harry is a vampire in a world where vampires have been nearly hunted to extinction. He is on the run, constantly hiding from hunters and looking for the next place to hunker down. He’s on the edge of his rope, when he runs into a nervous boy named Draco, who is terrified of vampires. Draco being lonely himself and thinking Harry is human, invites him to stay while his father is away.

1.Basement Level 9by@fw00shy [M, 2k]

Draco was behind the bomb that blew up Level 10, though they didn’t talk about it.

2.Even Children Get Olderby@lou-isfake [M, 4k]

It started with don’t wake the baby.

3.For Centuriesby@evaeleanor [E, 17k]

Harry is so fucking done with his house; done with Grimmauld Place constantly derailing his life. Maybe one man can help him.

4.Four Seasonsby@skeptiquewrites [M, 2k]

A romance in four seasons.

5.I Will Follow You into the Darkby@fangqueen [E, 29k]

The Dementors were not asked to return to Azkaban after the War, and with so much else going on in the magical world at the time, the Ministry didn’t pay much mind to what might’ve happened to them. Now, years later, there have been a rash of attacks and disappearances disturbingly reminiscent of Dementors reported all over the world, and their lack of understanding about the species and how they function is coming back to bite them. Draco Malfoy is the Unspeakable assigned to studying them, with Head Auror Harry Potter as his escort.

6.No Mask Like Open Truthby@p1013 [T, 5k]

[…] There is a bit of reddened skin on Malfoy’s neck, though, a barely-there blemish that would perfectly fit the curves of Harry’s mouth. It’s enough of a mark to both soothe Harry’s nerves and set them on fire. He wants to leave more.

7.Selling Britainby@prolix- [T, 2k]

[…] Tensions are high after new realtor Harry Potter joins the team, but no one is more upset about the new addition than veteran agent Draco Malfoy.

8.Silver lime and Thestral hairby@gnarf [T, 6k]

The war had damaged Harry, something that had become very clear once he had started his Auror training. He had to hand in his robes after only three months. He just couldn’t do it. So, when Hermione burst into his flat, a letter in her hands about a vacancy for an apprentice, Harry suddenly found himself in front of Ollivander’s, nerves on edge, while trying to talk himself into just reaching for the door.

9.Thanking You In Advanceby@ladderofyears [T, 13k]

When Draco Malfoy fled from Harry Potter’s life it was without even a goodbye. He was left lonely and bereft. Now, almost nine years later it is Christmastime and Draco has returned to London, complete with a Scorpius-shaped surprise that Harry truly wasn’t expecting. Can the two wizards get over the hurt of the past and seize the happy future that they both deserve?

10.To Be Honestby@shealwaysreads [M, 4k]

Malfoy’s not fucking anyone. Harry’s curious. He’s just curious.

11.When The Party’s Overby@sweet-s0rr0w [E, 5k]

Parties aren’t quite so much fun when you’re accidentally bonded to your sworn enemy. At least, that’s what Harry thinks at first…

12.Your Kiss, and I Will Surrenderby@nv-md [E, 4k]

Draco’s on the run and Harry hasn’t seen him in months. All hell breaks loose when Harry catches him in Knockturn Alley, but there’s more to their relationship, and Draco’s disappearance, than meets the eye.

1.[T4T]by@corvuscrowned [G, 2k]

It was the simplicity of it the ad, tucked away at the end of The Prophet, that made Harry send the first text. “Something of a late bloomer trying to figure out this whole ‘woman’ thing,” the ad read. “Looking for someone who might understand.” And then there it was at the end, like an ancient spell no one but the initiated would understand: “T4T.”

4.Haircutby@cavendishbutterfly [T, 1k]

Draco’s cutting Harry’s hair short for the first time. He’s going to make them look sexy. It’ll be great. Harry’s just not sure whether their new haircut’s going to stick around.

8.We Should Rendezvous Sometimeby@thebooktopus [M, 600]

In anticipation for their date on Friday, Harry asks Draco about his preferences.

[…] Draco didn’t know that Harry Potter would be there too, showing up after years of complete silence in the wizard world. Nor did Draco expect that seeing him would rekindle… whatever it was they had in their eighth year.

2.Christmas in Garlandby@prongslover77 [?, 16k]

When driven healer Harry Potter doesn’t get the prestigious job he planned for, he unexpectedly finds himself moving to a remote town. He soon warms to the friendly town and its cast of characters, plus an unexpected familiar face, but suspects it’s hiding one big holiday secret.

3.Christmas traditionsby@harrypotterfanfictionwriter [G, 600]

Draco had many Christmas traditions over the years, but only one is his favorite.

4.Cinnamon, Chocolate, and PinebyStarLeighNight [T, 7k]

After staying at Hogwarts for the winter holiday, Harry just can’t decide how to spend his time. Luckily, he doesn’t need to think too hard - Draco Malfoy decides for him.

5.Harry Potter and the Invasion of the Slytherinsby@cavendishbutterfly [T, 6k]

Harry just wanted to bake in peace. […] Funny thing, Harry doesn’t actually mind Draco’s company. Not at all.

6.Ice-Kissedby@corvuscrowned [G, 2k]

Professors Potter and Malfoy have very different philosophies when it comes to their teaching styles. Draco, for one, is dedicated to giving his students the best Potions education in all of Europe. Potter is … Well, Potter keeps taking his Defense classes outside to make snow angels.

7.In the Early Hoursby@manixzen [M, 10k]

It started with one night, which turned into months, which turned into years. And then, Harry realized he was in over his head.

8.Lights and Candy, Turning Prettilyby@ebbet [T, 10k]

In which Draco Malfoy pretends to enjoy hot chocolate, Pansy Parkinson quotes the Grinch, Greg Goyle enjoys canapés, and Blaise Zabini says what everyone’s thinking.

9.My World is Filled with Cheer and Youby@withgreatelan [T, 9k]

[…] A whirlwind of Weasleys (plus Luna) will find [Draco] not only with the presents he needs, but also a place to go for the holiday celebration, and a chance to reconnect with Harry and potentially get something he’s been wishing for as well.

10.Per my last letter (I hope you choke on it)by@fluxweeed&@lastontheboat [T, 10k]

the one where Harry has writer’s block and Malfoy isn’t helping.

11.This Love is Still Oursby@seekercass [E, 10k]

The distance helps with the bond. It’s not as strong as it used to be during eighth year. Distance makes it dormant, as the healers said many years ago. Ever so often when Draco comes back, it roars back to life whenever he’s near Harry. They mutually agree to stay away. Until they don’t.

Mise en Placeby@corvuscrowned (5,470 words, rated T)

Draco needs to learn how to cook, and luckily, Harry knows his way around a kitchen.

The fact that Draco is using his newfound cooking skills to impress another man… Well, Harry just tries not to think about that too much.

But somewhere, among all of the spicing and savoring, Harry realizes that Draco is coming by for more than just a good meal.

I’ve been on a Crow binge (if you haven’t checked out his other stuff, I highly recommend starting with this and then binging the rest like I did. It’s extremely all satisfying.) I first became a fan of Crow during October last year when they made a fic based off of one of my favorite obscure movies and also wrote a bunch of super fun, short horror ficsfor@hp-fearfest

Mise en Place is the perfect example of why Crow’s work is so fun to read. They do an incredible job of characterizations and nail both Harry and Draco’s hesitancy. Crow always writes situations that feel so real and plausible, which allows their characters come to life.

Whether you prefer cilantro or parsley (I like both, by the way) you’ll love Mise en Place as much as I did. Make your favorite comfort food, then enjoy this lovely and warm comfort read that will make your heart feel full like it’s just eaten a warm, buttery, and crisp cottage pie. And when you’re done with this fic, you should definitely check out his other stuff for dessert!

As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please show your appreciation and leave the creator a kudos or a comment!

❤️ Lots of Love and Happy Friday! ❤️

So glad to have @the-starryknight join me this week for our Happy Hour Rec!

I’ve long been a fan of Starry, from her own incredible writing to the lovely encouragement she gives to the Drarry fandom with her TLC Tuesdays! Just like everything else she does, her recommendation is equally amazing. Settle in, because you won’t want to miss Starry’s thoughts or this brilliant rec!

❤️ Lots of Love and Happy Friday ❤️

- The Drarry Librarian

When the Librarian reached out to see if I’d want to collaborate on a rec, I was so floored and so excited. I love seeing this blog around on my dash, spreading joy through recs and asks, and the weekly Happy Hour never fails to share brilliant pieces by beloved authors. Reccers are at the heart of community building, sharing resources and love for each other — and the Librarian does exactly that.

Today, I’ve brought a fic that is a few months old, by the brilliant @softlystarstruck When I was thinking about which fic to pick (and there are so, so many that are dear to my heart), I thought about the kinds of fics that tend to get a little less love. The Librarian has been working on some Historical AU recs, so… why don’t we go to space?

starlight (the unsuccessful return of a runaway prince) {E, 12k} is a brilliant, unusual fic, set amid a sci-fi world. Here are a few things I love about this fic:

The world-building is impeccable.

Every detail — from Starship Hedwig to Crown Prince Draco of Scorpius — fuses the world we know with this fantastical adventure in space, weaving these characters seamlessly into a believable new universe. This fic takes every Han Solo-Firefly-Trek universe fantasy and fuses it into a delicious, confident Harry. You won’t want to miss him.

Crown prince or no, he could kill me and take my ship the second my back is turned. Though he did manage to fuck up piloting a Silver Swan, so that’s doubtful. He couldn’t handle a fraction of Hedwig. “You have to come to the cockpit with me though.”

The style is unique and sharp-witted.

Bee writes beautiful, warm love stories, with an eye for tenderness. In this fic, they manage that gentleness with a snappy edge through alternating Harry and Draco first person POVs. Each character is brilliantly developed, with subtle differences in their voices that make each shine in their own right.

Yeah, I’m keeping him.

He just looks so lost, sitting in the chair with his fingers twisting around themselves. It’s obvious that he usually keeps his guard up– it comes across on his sharp tongue– but his facade keeps splintering and his panic spills through.

There’s a one million unit reward on your head,” I say, and his body goes entirely still. “If you’re returned to Scorpius alive and unharmed.”

Yeah, it’s hot as hell.

There’s no other way to put it, this fic scorches! The dynamic here is hot, the way that they negotiate during sex feels sexy and charged with attraction, and really, you can’t blame Draco when Harry looks and acts like an even hotter equivalent to Han Solo.

Poured out underneath my thighs, Draco looks like starlight made human. His pink lips are parted, and his breathing is shallow as he looks up at me. Stars, I’m going to make this good for him.”

Ok, enough rambling! Enjoy this out-of-this-world read, perhaps with a cosmic brownie & a cup of coffee. And when you’re finished, dive into more of Bee’s beautiful words or the Librarian’s AU reclists: historical AUs 1and2,non-magical,fluffy shops, and bakeries.

Among Ancient Pines by @graymatters

Artwork by @cambiodipolvereand@onlytheheartknows

Harry/Draco (2021, Mature, 74k)

Every day, Draco Malfoy tries. With every fiber of his being he tries. But he doesn’t much think about what he’s trying for. A fic about challenging assumptions, discovering self-worth, the silver lining in failing to meet expectations, and finding friendship, love, and purpose in a small Alaskan town that’s steeped in magic.

“Rule number one”—Draco lifts a forefinger in the air to begin his count—“no feelings.” He speaks the words intentionally, willing them into truth, hoping for a Time-Turner to appear amidst the clutter on Harry’s table.

My first rec outside birthday gifts caught me completely off guard. I’m gonna preface this by saying that I trust @sweet-s0rr0w’s taste with all my heart, and even knowing her rec couldn’t be anything other than perfect I’m still shook by how much I adored this fic. High chances of being my favorite BB together with Home Truthsby@skeptiquex, and they are definitely among my favorite 2021 reads. Ancient Pines reminded me a lot of one of my all-time fave fics, A Sword Laid Aside by korlaena - not in terms of characterization or plot-wise (although hermit Harry sharing his refuge with Draco is totally my jam!). No, the similarities are more related to tone and intent. Both stories feel properly adult, mature and contemplative yet light and tender in a way that feels almost poetic.

This kind of writing always gives me chills and makes me feel like basking in a warm bath, it’s so hard not to mourn the experience once it’s over. Here’s to another fic I wish I could read for the first time over and over! Ancient Pines has a perfect mix of so many elements I personally love: Healer Draco, hermit Harry, wand lore, friends with benefits gone (remarkably) wrong, low key emotional angst, found family, comfort food, Draco & Ginny friendship, a sexy amount of sneaky escapades with many fingers going into belt loops, and much more. Harry and Draco’s dynamics are simply fantastic, from the delightful banter to the passionate lovemaking. I’m captivated by this chill, earnest, observant and tender Harry, his good-natured ways edged just a lil bit with the kind of defiant stubbornness he saves only for Draco.

And this Draco is just the perfect match for him! Smart and capable, warm yet overthinking every little step and grasping for control by setting empty rules he’s bound to break. It’s such a lovely thing to watch them come together amidst the wild and evocative landscape of Alaska, with easy familiarity despite having an unspoken past looming over their heads. It’s even lovelier to watch Draco find his self-worth and identity along the way, coming to terms with what he wants and daring to take a leapplunge of faith. What a touching showcase of character development!

Beyond the gorgeous characterization, this fic also has delightful OCs (Meg & Fee own my heart!) and sets a perfect pace mixing delicious banter, detailed wand magic and gentle romance. And it’s so gentle, and fun, and sweet! Their dynamics feel very organic and the way “Let’s have fun” becomes “What can I do?” reflect how much these characters grow to learn and care for each other. Lastly, I wanna give a massive shoutout to the talented cambiodipolvereandonlytheheartknows​ who captured the fic’s essence and gorgeous aesthetics with stunning art pieces! Their work got me even more immersed in this universe and put a big smile on my face. If you’re looking for a soft and resonant comfort read, search no more: this journey is your next read!

It’s been four months since Harry lost his memory. Four months of dead ends and no answers. With time running out until his memories are gone for good, Harry agrees to a course of Legilimency therapy with a renowned specialist: Mind Healer Draco Malfoy.

There was something intriguing about him. Something in the way he spoke to Harry – none of that obsequious deference that most of the experts Harry met had shown. Instead, he had quiet confidence and a blunt honesty that Harry couldn’t help but like. It didn’t hurt that he bickered easily with Hermione, which Harry associated with Ron, and home, and comfort.

Excuse me, Harry associating Draco’s banter with Ron’s is everything I need in life, pls and thank I read this gorgeous and creative fic a couple days ago (my first 50k in weeks!) and the idea was to take a few breaks between chapters but I got completely obsessed with the perfect little universe @fluxweeed created here and I had to binge it right away. What a fantastic take on amnesia and Legilimency! I’m quite particular about these 2 tropes but I had a blast following Harry’s journey to recover his memories. This new/old Harry is so charming: witty, bold, 100% confident in his sexuality and completely gone for Draco. Their dynamics are charged, sweet and believable; despite the mutual attraction, they remain very true to their characters which I really appreciated. I love how the initial tension becomes easy banter, then slowly develop into trust and love (ignoring Draco’s bad attempts at professionalism lol). The mind healing sessions are incredibly creative and immersive with striking settings, great dialogue and many well thought details that sucked me right into the story (and their heads). All of that written in an honest, organic and sensitive way. I also love Harry’s dynamics with Ron and Mione; it’s interesting to see how his detachment from the war affects their friendship, and the author did a great job showing the inevitable confrontation but also reminding us of the ways they care for each other, and that they’re mature enough to think things through, reach out and apologize. Finally, you may be wondering if there’s any Legilimency-related smut and the answer is YES there’s a delicious, scorching hot and public pub scene that made me wanna reach into the screen and smash their cocks heads together. Goodness, what a ride. Brilliant plot and characterization, gorgeous slow burn and a very satisfying ending. Treat yourself!

Harry/Draco (2013, Explicit, 16k)

In which Draco is a Veela and Harry is his mate. Dark!Humor or Crack!Horror, you decide.

Potter shudders and rocks against him, using his body as friction. “How can I possibly want you?” he continues. His fingers twist in Draco’s hair, making his scalp tingle with the pain. “I hate you. I hate everything about you.”

Veela fics are not my usual pick but I haven’t read dark comedy in forever and I just couldn’t resist such an intriguing summary. Turns out this was a fun, unfairly hot and quite refreshing read! I love the bizarre concept of Veelas as man-eaters and Draco’s insufferable voice is fabulous - he’s found his perfect match in this mysterious, broken Harry and their antagonism is deliciously strained, dangerous and sexy. Unhinged Drarry is a mood™ and this fic made me crave it even more. Their chemistry is off the charts and that hot sequence with Harry yanking the chains while reciting all the reasons why he hates Draco took my breath away! I love this fic’s intriguing atmosphere and the way the author portrays a disorienting mix of vicious resentment and burning, all-consuming hunger. Their need is desperately physical and raw, something that could only culminate in almost religious sex, featuring filthy fingering, rough fucking and a fabulous mating moment this was hands down of the hottest and most satisfying smuts I’ve read lately, intense and debauched, thak god I was at home because I might have blushed a little on top of that, the writing is fantastic, rich, engaging, visceral and full of brilliant analogies (pinned butterfly? St. Sebastian shot full of arrows?? Cock au vin??? RIP me). If you’re into Veela fics I can’t rec this enough, it’s a must read. And if you’re here only for the crack!horror and smut like me, let me tell you: you won’t regret it one bit ;)

Draco Malfoy is an expert in Ancient Runes at Oxford University’s College of Advanced Magical Studies. […] Draco feels certain he can save the world, if only he didn’t keep getting distracted by his co-lead, one Chief Cursebreaker Harry Potter. If only that distraction didn’t evolve into something so much more.
