[lostdrarryfics]

Oh, hey! We're back! Happy new year ✨

Our inbox is back open and we are accepting new requests! Thank you so much for your patience.

We have also compiled the last handful of lost fic requests from 2024 that we could not locate. You can browse those below if you don't mind taking a look. Please let us know if you recognize any of these fics!

1. looking for a fic where after the war hermione and harry also receive punishment for the crimes they committed over the course of DH (unforgivables/gringotts) I don’t remember it being framed as unfair or anything and the punishment iirc wasn’t draconian or anything, to my recollection, something like probation or community service. I believe in this universe it was just the case that people on all sides were tried, not just death eaters and their ilk. I honestly can’t remember how central to the fic this detail is, it might not be super prominent/plot pertinent, just a detail that stuck out to me, but since it’s not exactly typical for how people imagine the immediate aftermath would go, I’m hoping it’s findable. It was definitely drarry, definitely on ao3, and may have been multi chapter. fic is not Make Yourself by AnyaElizabeth

2. I've got a scene stuck in my head, but I'm struggling to remember which fic it's from. Harry and Draco are having supper, and Harry is eating a lot/very quickly, I think. Draco then (very bluntly/abrubtly) tells him that he had an eating disorder in 6th year, and asks whether Harry has food issues bc of the way he's eating? From what I remember, Harry is quite taken aback and denies, says he's just not great at cooking, or something along those lines. I'm pretty sure it's just a small scene in a longer fic, so I hope that it won't be too difficult to find! I almost definitely read it on ao3.

3. It is a little fuzzy in my memory now, but I remember it was set after the war. Harry and Draco enter a maze or forest by going through a tree gateway, I think the two trees that made the gateway were the trees that their wands were made of. In the place through the gateway(i dont remember what was beyond gateway) they face hardship, get together, and their souls get bonded. At the end they escape back and a deity/goddess tells them she made them face this trial to push them together and that drarry would always be together in the end, but she wanted them together quicker because if Ginny and Harry get together first, their child becomes a dark lord. The goddess/deity wanted to prevent this from happening and now that Drarry got together and are soul bonded, Harry will not be able to have kids with someone else.

4. something happened to Bellatrix (in the DOM, I think) and she was either killed or imprisoned. As a punishment, Voldemort took Narcissa as his lover in order to humiliate Lucius. I remember a scene where Harry and Draco sneak into a Death Eater gathering and Voldemort is sitting on a throne with Narcissa in his lap, wearing a Death Eater mask.

5. Post-war drarry, definitely dark with sexual assault triggers. Harry is struggling and ends up sleeping with Draco. When Draco doesn’t follow up, it triggers some lingering trauma from Harry’s childhood (he was assaulted by the husband of one of his uncle’s friends/coworkers/cousins as a kid). I remember at one point Harry having a breakdown in his bathroom and maybe being sent to St. Mungo’s? Either Hermione or Ginny feature as well (there was a line about one of them seeing him & instantly knowing he had gotten himself into trouble). Eventually Draco finds out, but I don’t remember the ending.

6. I read this probably 10+ years ago, I believe on ff.net. Pretty sure it’s set at Hogwarts during school years, multi-chapter, and Draco is either a spy or a reluctant ally to the Order/Golden Trio. The only detail I remember clearly is that Draco has an owl (or possibly a raven or another kind of bird) named Mordred. Ron tries to argue that only an evil git would name their pet Mordred. Draco explains that he named him Mordred because Mordred also killed his father, which reveals/confirms that Draco killed Lucius, and that helps convince Harry, Ron and Hermione that Draco is on their side.

7. looking for a fic where Harry has to attend an event (I think it's an opera?? or something classy) because Hermione had already bought the ticket and she didn't want it to be wasted. So, reluctantly, Harry attended the event and accidentally met Draco there. One thing I remember, when Harry arrived at the location, he was hungry, but as far as I remember, he didn't know where to buy food (or the ticket that Hermione bought didn't give him special access to buy food). After that, Draco came and invited him to eat together at the table he had reserved?? And then, they watch the show together and then, of course, they sleep together. Another thing that I remember is that Harry was in a relationship with Ron's brother, I think Charlie?? However, at that time, during their relationship, Charlie never revealed it to the public, even to his own family. It was as if Charlie was hiding the fact that he knew Harry was alive. Then, for a while the relationship continued, Charlie suddenly had to return to Romania and from there he cut off contact with Harry. Ron didn't know anything about this, and he often teased Harry by calling him bad names (without realizing that Harry was really hurt when Ron called him that). After hearing Harry's story, Ron was furious with his brother and threatened to tell his mother the same thing.

8. I read this fic on ao3 it was a ministry set one with established!drarry . Harry was an auror (possibly head auror) and Draco worked in the ministry too and Draco always matched his tie to the minister of magic

9. I just remember Draco is released from Azkaban and rowed over a body of water back to the real world for his release. His time is Azkaban took its toll on him and later he talks about it and what he did mentally to try and keep his happy memories in tact (at least the ones he could, others he lost to the dementors) the fic was most probably a long fic on ao3!

10. fic on AO3 that I read like 1-3 years ago! Pretty sure it’s longer/possibly chaptered, and most likely rated explicit/mature/not rated. Either one or both Harry and Draco are Veela (pretty sure? Might be some other magical creature). Takes place mostly in France at some sort of opulent Malfoy chateau/manor. There are some d/s dynamics but I can’t remember if it was actually tagged. They end up going at it in the bathtub and Harry gets pushed underwater for a bit during it. Other than that I remember Narcissa was good and a pretty major character, and there may have been a scene/chapter where they celebrated Christmas together and Harry got emotional because like found family, but I may be confusing this scene with another work.

11. fic where veela draco chooses harry as a mate, but harry refuses and insists he will never be his mate. however, they stick/live together, and sometimes harry "uses" draco for protection. i think harry was fighting for a political campaign? there was a scene where harry gets attacked and draco comes swooping in since he could sense the danger

12. Tsundere(?) Draco incomplete fanfic So read this fanfic years ago and im hopeful I can find it at AO3 if only I can remember the name. Here's what I remember: *Harry and Draco have a established relationship at Hogwarts. I don't think they were students, they were living there and training. Draco is kind of a tsundere in this one. *The first chapter was Harry and Draco coming back to their rooms from a wedding. Harry asked if they would ever get married to which Draco replies that he would give Harry the ring he gave Pansy. Harry says he doesn't want anything that belonged to Pansy to which Draco replies that he was just kidding, he would get Harry a new ring. Harry says it was still not what he meant and Draco says something romantic and says the only one I want to break my heart is you so don't break my heart, I can be a vicious bastard when i am wounded. To this harry replies, you must remain wounded something chronic *There's a female teacher who's teaching them combat i think with a staff and she hurts harry and Draco goes nuts and attacks her. I think the boys end up in the hospital wing and the teacher tells Dumbledore or someone how protective Draco is of Harry, she's never seen anything like it or something. *Then there's also a part where Draco goes out into the Hogwarts ground and summon a fairy like creature asking them to destroy voldemort so that he can be with harry at peace. And the fairy tells him that making rhe wish means he won't be able to have any children. She then informs him that Harry's awake, Draco's troubles have awakened him. He goes inside the castle and Harry confronts him asking what was happening. Draco refuses at first and Harry gives him the ultimatum that if he doesn't tell him, he will leave Draco. So Draco tells him. Harry then tries to comfort him and Draco says that he dares harry to tell him to adopt *There's a part where harry and Ron are playing Quidditch and Sirius and Draco are watching them. Sirius remarks that everytime he sees Harry and Draco together it looks like they are coming from a funeral. And Draco says he does make harry happy, would Sirius like to hear just how happy he made Harry this morning. And Sirius tells Draco to laugh with Harry. *The last chapter I read was Draco marrying Harry. He goes down on his knees in Ron and Hermiones kitchen and then says the vows and Harry is completely surprised and overjoyed. And Hermione asks Ron how he feels about it and a grinning Ron says like barfing. The fic was far from complete and i think itwas discontinued.

Can anyone find these two fics for @evanoracronwell ?? Thanks all 🥰

[scarheaded-ferret]

guys i’m going insane, around over a year ago I read this drarry fic on ao3 where it was like an everyone lives/no voldemort au except it wasn’t an au—

And Harry and Draco were in comas that made them basically relive their life for like 15 years when they were only in comas for like six weeks and they like got married and had a kid

and then one day like things start not looking right to Harry and he realizes he’s dreaming and then they wake up and realize it wasn’t real…

I’ve been searching for two weeks can anyone help😭

And i vividly remember that in the author’s notes it said like “NOT AN AU”

[drarryruinedme7]

I am trying to find this fanfiction which is about making a bet. Harry and his friends say Harry cannot make Draco have a date with him. Harry believes it is just for fun and wont fall in love with Draco. But it happens and Draco heard the bet from Blaise. Harry is miserable and went home. He tells his parents, James and Lily what happened. And Pansy helps at the end. Anyone knows please help me!

Hi nonnie, I haven’t heard of this fic! Let’s see if any of my followers know ❤️ in the meantime, I suggest trying to ask here @lostdrarryfics they’re amazing 😘

[havingaverydrarryday]

recommendations please

Does anyone know of any drarry fics where Harry is just very intelligent? So many of them paint him as lazy or a bit of a dullard, but I love it when he's smart, and when he doesn't conform to expectations (like becoming an auror)

My favorite is Azoth by zeitgeistic. So anything like that would be great.

Thank you

Fanfic Classics Series

🎨 Truth to Materials by lately and @toomuchplor

In which Harry learns to appreciate art and other pleasures of the flesh.

This fic changed my life!!! and gave me so much delight as somebody with a fine arts degree!!!

i've been making penguin classics-style covers for fics i have saved on my kindle, as inspired by zeziliazink and bubu0h’s works! art credits + bonus info under the cut :)

Artwork used:

"Seated Man, academy study" by Albert Edelfelt (1875)

is it just me or this could be older harry posing for draco?

Bonus cover?!!!

While I was looking for potential artwork to use for this fic, I found 𝘿𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙣 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙜's work (NSFW warning for nudity/sex, but his work is vibrant and so, so beautiful!). I was looking for queer painters whose work captured a lively, loose sense of intimacy (which was the vibe I got from the fic) and his work was PERFECT for what I had in mind, but since his works aren't in the public domain I'd rather not upload what I made for myself on a public blog... though I'd love to show it (privately) to anyone interested so we can gush over how well Mr 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘨's work fits the fic... in my humble opinion, at least 🤣 Anyway, if you've made it this far, you really should check out his website!

[dewitty1]

Hii! I was wondering if you could rec fics where either Draco or Harry have to do some serious groveling. Like, they fuck up, and they have to make it up to the other. It’s my guilty pleasure 😅

Thank you!

Hi @albondiguilla007! Thanks for your ask!

Let me just say that I have not read all of these, and I don't know if they will fit your criteria specifically.

Calico Skies by Fate_and_folly

Draco’s voice shook. “You don’t know what it’s like to have you. No one knows what it’s like to lose you.” A sob fled from him. “Please don’t make me be the first.” Harry’s face crumpled, looking away, and Draco knew then it was over. “It’s my past, it must be. I asked before and you said –” “I have forgiven you –” “I am a person!” Then quieter, “A person; not just something to be forgiven.” ~ With his family’s name and misdeeds laying heavily upon him, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts for a torturous eighth year. He finds himself unrequitedly in love with Harry Potter and at odds with everyone around him, even the bricks. While navigating the post-war world, he is forced to decide both who he is and what he wants.

Sometimes It Lasts In Love (But Sometimes It Hurts Instead) by bryoneybrynn

Despite the fact their relationship has been over for years, Draco finds himself standing at Harry Potter’s front door one winter’s afternoon…

Cassiopeia Lily Malfoy by GallaPlacidia (find the Archive drive HERE)

In eighth year, Harry had a toxic fling with Draco Malfoy. Ten years later, a little girl shows up, begging for Harry's help. Could the two be connected? And did Harry misunderstand what Draco was trying to tell him, the last time they spoke? Feat. angry 8th year Harry being truly horrible to Draco, Draco writing a lot of letters he never sends Harry, and the most Gryffindor-Slytherin hybrid ten-year-old you've ever seen.

The Courting by the Pureblood Who Only Has Five Milligrams of Romantic Intelligence and Thinks He’s Real Smooth by hiimcibee

Draco could grab Potter and shove him into a stall before proceeding to suck his soul out of his dick, but secretly, deep down, in the part of Draco that he will never admit to anyone, he is (everyone pauses to shudder) a romantic. Potter is not someone Draco wants a one-off with. Potter is — Draco’s beloved! So Draco decides to boldly go where no one has gone before: to put himself through scrutiny; their friends’ teasing and pranks; unsound romantic advice from a house-elf; wearing pretty clothes; all to try and win Potter’s heart through courtship. (An unnamed ginger bastard can be heard yelling from afar: “This is actually a detailed guide on how not to court someone!”) But who cares about the opinions of redheads? Literally no one.

Such Great Heights by aideomai

Draco Malfoy, wide-eyed and pale and in a decidedly ragged shirt, was crouched next to the pile of whatever the dragon had been eating. Harry threw himself to a halt and yelled, “Merlin, how many times do I have to save your life?”

Soup-pocalypse and The Great Curry Cataclysm by SquadOfCats

Eleven years after the war, Draco Malfoy leads a quiet, boring, and perfectly respectable life, thanks very much. Or, at least he does, until a sudden and very unexpected veela awakening causes him to throw soup all over Harry Potter in the middle of the Ministry cafeteria.

Ok I've been searching for 2 fanfics for months now and I can't find them 😭

The first was about Harry and Draco and they were a couple living in the Manor. But then Draco's attitude started to change and he became cold and rude towards Harry and told him to get out. Then Harry said something like "If I move out, I won't put a foot down here again" and when Draco told him to go Harry moved out.

Later Narcissa came and told Harry that it was Lucius' doing (spell? imperio? Can't exactly remember) and she had managed to break it before Draco married a girl (can't remember it might be Astoria) chosen by Lucius.

I remember Harry asking "Where is he?" About Draco and she responded that he was at the manor, going spare on how to apologise and Harry moved back into the Manor and he and Draco kissed. I think Lucius was arrested then.

I've read it between 2020 and 2023 on ao3 and the angst was soo good but I can't seem to find it even in my history 😕

The second fic was about Harry and Draco and they were Aurors or Unspeakables (not quite sure) but they were assigned to a case in the South of France. There was a scene where both talked about their past and a bit of their sexuality at the terrace of a french cafeteria (Muggle if I remember correctly). Harry had cast a charm so that others could not hear them. They were undercover I think.

Draco was speaking french and I think his family had a cottage in Nice (France) where they stayed for the case. Then there was a scene where Harry was standing in front of the sea and Draco came towards him, confessed and they kissed then the cottage was attacked and Harry almost died.

I might have read this one between 2023 and 2024 but my memory is close to void so I cannot remember the authors.

If anyone remembers one of those fics please tell me !

[teratocore]

I’m tracking down fics to properly bookmark them, so here’s what I remember:

It’s a drarry fic series(?) where Harry and Draco are sent to a safe house by the beach and there’s an underlying plot about Harry losing mobility in his hands as a result of torture and that effecting his magic because he can’t hold his wand properly as a result of the pain and nerve damage. He later begins doing wandless magic.

Evan Rosier plays a semi-major role and is mentioned by name as the one tasked with hunting down Harry and Draco. There was probably also elements of Severitus, and it was overall pretty angsty and graphic in terms of gore and emphasis on Harry’s abuse and it was set after POA because there was strain in Harry and Sirius’ relationship and after/during OOTP because the order exists and plays a role. Might be as late HBP because I think the series starts with a change in the sectumsempra scene.

There’s a scene where they’re at Grimmauld Place where Harry yells about how he remembers his mother’s death, and another where after a fight at the safe house Harry crosses the wards and is kidnapped by death eaters. There were a couple chapters in which Harry and Draco exacerbate their injuries by traveling without magic to avoid detection after leaving the safe house and there is descriptions of them rationing their potions and water and Draco not understanding why Harry tells him that muggles are giving them dirty looks for holding hands while on that journey. During that journey there is also a scene where they are forced out of desperation to eat food from a garbage bin and Harry compromises with Draco by eating the part of a muffin that was touching the garbage to give Draco the half that wasn’t.

And there’s another scene where Bill tells Charlie he doesn’t have to fight in this war and he knows being around so many people has always been hard for him.

If I remember anything else about it I’ll add it to the post. Once ao3 is back up from maintenance I’ll keep messing with filters to see if I can find it but thank you to anyone who can point me in the right direction! 💚

[catboylouisworld]

The Big Find 2023

We're back for our second annual fic-finding marathon to celebrate the lostdrarryfics 2 year anniversary! If you weren't around last year, or need a refresher, this is how it works:

We will be hosting a fic-finding marathon for the 10 days leading up to our anniversary on October 31st. Each day, starting on October 21st, we will post a list of requests we've gotten in the past year that we have been unable to find. You can participate by reading through each list, trying to find a fic yourself, letting us know if you recognize any of the fics described, and reblogging the posts so we get as many eyes on them as possible!

The goal is to finally locate these lost fics so that we can help the people who have spent so long looking for them! We receive so many requests and the ones that are still lost deserve another chance to be featured. Please let us know if you have any questions. We can't wait to find some fics with you all!

Do you do fic finding? Someone posted on Reddit and I KNOW I've read it in the last 5 years or so but no one knows what it is

I don't much anymore as I don't read as much in the fandom anymore but we'll give it a shot to see if anyone here recognizes it. I, like many of the commenters, know I've read this but can't place it big sigh. Here's the link to the post

[scarheaded-ferret]

If anyone can help i’ll love you forever

[drarryruinedme7]

Hi!

I saw this post about Harry and Draco basically one-upping each other into a relationship. Just letting all their 'enemies forever' energy flow into who can be more romantic, buy the better gift etc. And not for the life of me can I find one fucking fic, could u help me?

(And sorry about the tone (?) of this thing, I'm pretty new here)

Hi! No problem for the tone, always welcome to new people❤️❤️ honestly it’s a GREAT trope and I’m sure I’ve read something like this. I’ll look for these fics, in the meantime if anyone has something like this to rec please tell me and I’ll add to the list!!

[alma-artts]

Does anyone have drarry recs where it has been years since the war and they have not seen each other and then Harry runs into draco in like. a muggle setting
