In the off-season Harry decided to fix up Grimmauld Place and found that Draco Malfoy was the only person who could help him. A demanding career and unrelenting press scrutiny were enough to deal with before Harry added a house with a mind of its own, family history, and a tense, flirty, complicated relationship with his childhood nemesis to the mix.
Among Ancient Pines by @graymatters // artwork by @cambiodipolvere and @onlytheheartknows (M, 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.
The Secret Keeper by @the-fools-errand // artwork by @razielim (M, 225k) 🔮
On Halloween 1981, Albus Dumbledore made a decision that would change the course of history, concealing Harry Potter’s survival at the hands of Lord Voldemort underneath a Fidelius Charm. But when Harry comes of age in the Muggle world, Dumbledore realises too late that the fate of the world may depend on a boy who has never held a wand.
…+ these seven gems!
Sweeten to Taste by @bigblackdogfic // artwork by @babooshkart (Explicit, 51k) 🥘
It starts with Draco's buckwheat crepes with honeyed oranges. Or maybe it starts with his porridge with toasted walnuts and homemade apple butter. Or perhaps it starts with the cinnamon buns Draco made from scratch with mascarpone icing. Harry just knows he's hungry for more.
Game Changer by @the-denial-squad // artwork by @thelanguidcat (E, 69k) 🧹
A story of love and Quidditch, not necessarily in that order.
speak of the devil (and the devil shall appear) by @sophisticatedyet // artwork by @mad1492 and @fictional (E, 88k) 🧵🪡
Unbeknownst to anyone, Draco gets hit by a curse. Suddenly, Harry Potter is around a lot more than either of them want him to be.
Chasing Shadows by @manixzen // artwork by @avaeryn (Explicit, 93k) 🍸
The murder of Lucius Malfoy seems impossible—no cause of death, no traces of spell-work, no potions in his system. The only leads Harry and his partner have are the trail of missing wizards the deeper they go. That and the help of the victim’s estranged son who now spends his time bartending at a queer-friendly Muggle pub.
Bolts by @lqtraintracks // artwork by @slytherco (Explicit, 114k) 🤐
Harry joins the Hogwarts staff as the new History of Magic Professor, while Draco has already been teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts for the past year. When Samantha, a first year, is being bullied one day and throws a made-up Truth curse at her harasser, only to accidentally hit Harry instead, Harry becomes cursed to tell the truth, and not only that, he has to regularly tell it to Draco Malfoy.
Nor All That Glisters by @sweet-s0rr0w // artwork by @deancebra-art and @fantalf (Explicit, 110k) 🍀
Lonely and frustrated on house arrest, with no prospects for the future, Draco begins brewing Felix Felicis in an attempt to improve his lot. Just in the short term, of course. He isn’t a total idiot.
Dwelling on Dreams by @the-sinking-ship // artwork by @lkaet (Explicit, 135k) 📰
Draco thought he could avoid Potter for the duration of his brief return to England. He’d stick to his schedule and be back home in Paris, where he belonged, in a few short months. No trouble at all. He had plenty to occupy him, what with the opening of the London branch of his successful apothecary, his innovative research, drinks with Pansy, a backlog of unread potions periodicals.
