Summary:

“I’m going to get my scars removed,” Draco announces on a rainy Wednesday afternoon. “Who are you seeing?” Blaise asks. “The best Healer out there,” Draco replies with a little shrug. “Harry Potter.”

Excerpt:

He opens the door and finds Harry there, standing in the dark corridor like a shadow. Draco gasps in surprise, but Harry places a warm hand on his cheek, then takes a step closer and just exhales. His other hand rests on Draco’s waist, and for a moment they just breathe together in silence.

It feels so lovely to touch. To be close and have Harry’s hands on him.

Draco wills his heart to stop beating like a mad beast.

Harry is here. He was waiting for Draco to open the door. Harry is here.

Draco lets his eyes drift shut and inhales the scent of him, that perfect combination of Harry’s soap and the comforting smell of his skin. He feels Harry’s warmth against his pyjamas when Harry moves even closer and their bodies almost touch.

“I’ve been thinking,” Harry starts, his voice low and hesitant but like a balm to Draco’s ears. “I’ve been reading all those letters and reliving their sorrow, and all I could think about was you…”

“Me?” Draco asks softly, his eyes drifting open and locking with Harry’s. He feels hope blooming in his chest, despite all the years he’s spent pushing it down, reminding himself that Harry would never want him like this, that all Draco could ever hope for was friendship.

“I’ve been thinking about you,” Harry repeats, his thumb brushing against the soft skin of Draco’s cheek, his eyes moving lower and lingering on Draco’s mouth for a long moment. “I realised that I don’t want to waste any more time. I don’t want to lose you, Draco—I’m terrified of that, but at the same time, I think about the little time Sirius and Remus had together. About the way Remus felt at the end…I don’t want to regret not saying or doing the things that matter.”

Draco lets his hands rest on Harry’s waist, pulling him closer until their foreheads are resting against each other and he can feel Harry’s warm breath on his cheek.

He wonders if he’s dreaming. If he’s misunderstanding everything Harry is saying.

“Harry…” he whispers, his voice barely audible.

“Can I kiss you?” Harry asks.

A little moan tumbles out of Draco’s mouth, because he must be dreaming.

Harry just asked if he could kiss him.

Draco nods, unable to speak, and Harry moves, slowly, as if afraid to spook him or trying to give Draco a chance to pull back. Draco’s eyes close again and he tilts his chin up, feeling Harry so close, craving for him to make the first move because he’s too scared of Harry changing his mind.

It’s a mere brush of lips at first, the most delicate pressure against Draco’s mouth, a puff of air that caresses his skin. Harry moves back, mumbles a soft god under his breath, but Draco keeps his eyes closed and is rewarded with Harry’s lips back on his. It’s sweet and soft and a million times better than any kiss Draco has ever had or could dream of.

Harry is so tender with him, his hand still cupping Draco’s cheek, then threading through Draco’s hair and making him tilt his head to deepen the kiss. Draco opens his mouth and feels it, the tentative warmth of Harry’s tongue, his mouth eager and hungry. And then it’s heat and needy sounds that Draco didn’t even think he could make. He lets Harry make a mess of him, pushing him against the wall and kissing him breathless, until Draco is hard and needy for more.

Harry kisses him with a desperation that Draco thinks only belongs in his own heart.

Draco lets his hands sneak under Harry’s t-shirt because he needs to feel naked skin and firm muscles, bones and flesh that can ground him and let him believe this is real.

“Harry…” he murmurs when he feels the other man’s lips on his neck, leaving wet and hungry kisses all along his scars and sucking on a sensitive spot under Draco’s ear that makes him shudder in pleasure.

“God, I could kiss you all night,” Harry murmurs against his skin, his mouth hot and demanding. “All day and all night. Draco…I want you so badly…”

Draco moans, the most debauched and embarrassing sound he’s probably ever made, but Harry seems to love it, groaning as he pulls Draco even closer and moves them towards the bed, his lips still on him, always on him.

They kiss and kiss, until the night is dark and Draco’s mouth feels puffy and a little sore. Harry’s hands carefully slide under his pyjama top to touch Draco’s skin and trace his scars with a tenderness that threatens to shatter Draco’s heart into a million pieces. He lets Harry touch him, feeling like he might explode from how hard he is, but Harry just kisses him, then presses their foreheads together, his green eyes shut, and breathes deeply.

Draco doesn’t know what people normally do at this stage. He’s never experienced anything like this.

You can access my rec lists for eight year fics that have less than 10k words here, between 10k and 20k here, between 20k and 30k here and between 30k and 50k here.

Arms Wide Open: Hogwarts by Sita_Z [28k]

Harry did not expect his Eighth Year to involve any more investigations of abandoned bathrooms. Nor did he expect to come across Draco Malfoy there, alone, bleeding and in late-stage labor. Arms Wide Open: Grimmauld Place by Sita_Z [36k] After leaving Hogwarts, Harry and Draco face an uncertain future, raising Scorpius and dealing with the wizarding world’s reaction to their situation. Sequel to Arms Wide Open: Hogwarts.

At Your Service by @faith2wood [95k]

Hogwarts students are in danger; Harry is determined to save them all. There’s only one thing he knows for certain: Draco Malfoy is somehow involved.

Azoth by @lol-zeitgeistic [88k]

Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.

Beholden by @faith2wood [123k]

Draco Malfoy might not be a killer, but it turns out he's an effective painkiller. If stopping pain was all Draco's touch did, things might not be so complicated, but either way Harry can't afford to be choosy.

The Changing Lights by lazywonderland [142k]

Harry returns for an eighth year following the end of the war and realises that although he's put his own animosity towards Malfoy aside, no one else seems to have done the same. When a hex leaves his oldest rival in the body of a female and ridicule doubles, Harry discovers that his hero complex is a difficult thing to fight.

Exceeds Eggspectations by Elle Gray (LGray) [61k]

Eighth year. Winter. Christmas has been and gone. Harry’s just been dumped and so has Malfoy. There’s a stupid fake baby assignment to be done, and what’s the harm in doing it together, really, when life is this shit already? This is not slow burn, this is a roman candle pointed at a pile of dry twigs that represent your heart.

Firebond by Oakstone730 / @i-didnt-wanna-do-it​ [94k]

Draco is forced to tutor Harry in potions. A slight problem occurs.

Golden Age by @lol-zeitgeistic [52k]

The Celtic druids once made a decision that kept magic in abundance in Britannia, but they couldn’t account for the technological advances Muggles would make centuries later. Now magic is dying on the isles, and this is not a dark lord that Harry can fight. OR: Harry Potter doesn’t save the world this time, but he does get a lot of hugs.

Graceless Heart by shushu_yaoi_lj / @orange-peony​ [132k]

Harry is lost and broken after the war. He has gone to countless funerals, broken up with Ginny, moved back into Grimmauld Place—which feels darker and dirtier than ever before despite how much he tries to fix it. He feels lonely and desperate, but he won’t ask for help, and he still can’t cry. When he agreed to help the Aurors at Malfoy Manor over the summer, he thought that he would be breaking dark curses. Harry never thought that he would actually spend his days sorting out dusty books with Draco Malfoy, or teaching him how to cook. Little by little, as they begin to navigate their life post-war, Harry and Draco become intimate…in more ways than Harry could have ever expected.

Helix by Saras_Girl [92k]

Seven months after the end of the war, Harry is feeling lost. Fortunately, he is about to be offered an unexpected and sparkling chance to find himself again. [2014 advent fic]

It’s No Great Mystery by @agentmoppet​ [57k]

Who on earth decided that bringing back the Yule Ball for their eighth year would be a good idea? It feels like the worst day of Harry’s life, watching everyone get glammed up like the war never happened, like the last Triwizard Tournament wasn’t such a colossal failure. And then it happens again. And again. And again.

Manticoria by @lol-zeitgeistic [70k]

In the dangerous days after Voldemort’s fall, Harry struggles to find a way to be with Draco—again. But as the magical world threatens to die all around them, it might be more difficult than he thought. Includes dying wards, dying beasts, and love struggling to live; sentient magic, wandlore, Founder lore, potion lore, and ward lore; and of course there is Zacharias Smith to ruin everything, as usual.

Mental by sara_holmes [156k]

Harry has had quite enough of sharing his mind with someone else, thankyouverymuch. A miscast Legilimecy spell says otherwise.

My Little Berserker by @aelys-althea  [105k]

Eighth year was supposed to be calm. Moderated. Peaceful, even. Draco returned to escape the chaos wrought upon his shambles of a life and Harry to flee the responsibility of a world that sees him as something greater than was truly possible. Hogwarts was a safe haven, right? At least it was until Hagrid comes up with the wonderful idea to introduce some additional members to the student body of the fluffier variety. Hagrid doesn’t do moderated - where’s the fun in that?

The Nightmare Club by Elle Gray [85k]

Hermione and Ron are going back to Hogwarts to do N.E.W.T.s, Ginny isn’t. Harry hasn’t decided, until he has, in front of the Wizengamot and now he’s responsible for Malfoy as well. A tale of enemies who learn to get along, get it wrong and get it on. Everything is purple, some things are on fire and no-one is sleeping properly. But don’t worry, there’s tea!

Not in the Hands of Boys by @fourth-rose [130k] *incomplete

Once the final battle is won, life must go on, although it can be even harder to master than death. Back at Hogwarts for his final year of school, Harry tries to cope with everything he's been through. As the world around him struggles for a way back to normality, he is forced to realise that in the long run, living takes a lot more courage than dying.

Objects of Desire by Azrael Geffen [400k+]

The dream team sign a magical contract promising to lose their virginities within the year, they soon fix on the objects of their desires, but will the bitterness left in the wake of the war prove too hurtful for love to exist?

Ocean of Storms by Bounding-Heart [113k]

The war is over and Harry has returned to help rebuild Hogwarts. He longs to move forwards, but the past refuses to let him go. The castle is full of ghosts: haunting nightmares, the deaths he couldn’t prevent, and the age-old rivalry that Draco Malfoy seems determined to maintain.

Owl Was Well by @fencer-x [66k]

Draco Malfoy is not an owl, really he isn’t. He simply assumes the shape of one on occasion when he wants to find a bit of privacy—a goal entirely thwarted because Harry Potter doesn’t understand you can’t just grab any old bird from the Owlery and force it to send your missives and deliver your packages.

The Promise of Summer by Omi_Ohmy [66k]

How was Harry supposed to know that coming back for eighth year would be so confusing? Everything is the same, and yet not the same. And nowhere is this more obvious than with Draco Malfoy. Harry finds himself once more watching and following Malfoy, trying to work him out. When they are drawn together to heal the castle, Harry doesn’t just find Malfoy - he also finds himself.

red and green are complimentary colours by  ace_0fhearts [88k]

After the war Hermione manages to convince Harry to go back to Hogwarts for his eighth year. Expecting an uneventful year of classes and rooming with the other Gryffindor boys, he’s surprised when McGonagall tells him he’ll be sharing a room with Draco Malfoy. Now Harry has to get through a year of arguments and awkward silences. Or he would, if Malfoy would stop ignoring him and moping around the castle alone. Or: Draco and Harry fall in love through sleepless nights and late night quidditch games

Reparo by amalin [84k]

Voldemort’s final defeat does not mean Harry Potter’s troubles are over; far from it. In the aftermath of war, he returns to a Hogwarts that is fractured and divided, but this is no break that can be fixed with a spell. New owls, fading scars, surprising alliances—and along the way, the hardest task of all, to live with it. 

Right Hand Red by @lqtraintracks [73k] 

Harry felt Malfoy’s breath on his lips as they came together over the bottle, hands firmly planted on the floor as though they each needed their familiar soil, refusing to cross into enemy territory. Except that Malfoy no longer felt like his enemy. Malfoy felt inevitable.

The Silent World Within You by @femmequixotic and @noeeon [95k]

Harry only wanted Malfoy for one night, one birthday. It wasn’t meant to be anything more.

spins madly on by asofthaven [56k]

As part of his probation, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts to complete his N.E.W.T.s. Gobstones, the political machinations of the Hogwarts student body, and one Harry James Potter captures Draco’s attention instead.

Things Worth Knowing by @femmequixotic and @noeeon [164k]

After the Battle, Harry thinks he’s left Hogwarts for good, but Minerva insists that all students return for an Eighth Year if they wish to sit for NEWTs in the spring, and Harry needs those NEWTs to go into the Aurors. Draco’s just grateful not to be in Azkaban. Or the Manor. He’s hoping he can steer clear of Potter this year and grapple with his own problems. Unfortunately for him, Potter appears to be one of those problems. And that’s not even addressing the fact that Potter’s got serious issues of his own, which Draco realises as he’s forced to share an Eighth Year dormitory room and several classes with the Gryffindor Git. If only they can make it through the year without killing each other, it should be all right, shouldn’t it?

Written on the Heart by who_la_hoop [113k] 

Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him. When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?

You’ve Got Owl Post by @slyth-princess [50k]

After discovering muggle romantic comedies during winter break, Pansy Parkinson and Luna Lovegood decide to launch an ambitious project called You’ve Got Owl Post which matches up students through an enchanted notebook so they can send letters to each other without knowing who is at the other end. It is an instant hit. Harry, without his friends knowing, is one of the first to join. And he rapidly finds a kindred soul on the other side of the pages. In real life, however, he is once again plagued by Draco Malfoy. After fighting in class, McGonagall has had enough. So, as punishment and a lesson, she assigns them the running of that years dueling club. Everyone, including Harry and Draco, assumes it will be a disaster. However, sometimes the people you think you know the best are the ones who can surprise you the most. A story of letters, bets, friendship, love, forgiveness, and discovering who you really are.

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

hello :) im not sure if this is odd but do you know any hpdm fics where either of them are deaf or mute so they have to use sign language? Or in short, hpdm fics where they use sign language!

Sure anon, here are some recs with sign language for you. I’ve also found this fic but I haven’t read it. Enjoy :)

To See, to Speak by Lomonaaeren (M, 2k)

All Draco wants is things back to the way they used to be, when Harry could hear his name being called, or his friends knocking on the door, or the spells he cast.

the world is quiet here by noturssis (G, 2.4k)

Their world may be quiet but it doesn’t make it any less vibrant is what Draco is coming to realize.

I'm Not in Your Dreams by ununquadius (T, 9k)

Draco has dreamt with Harry's voice since he was fourteen, so there's no doubt for him about who his soulmate is. Now, in their Eighth Year, Harry has finally dreamt with his soulmate's voice too. The problem is that Draco was born mute.

the way you make me glow by softlystarstruck (M, 11k)

In a cottage next to the sea, love blossoms. Or perhaps it’s been there all along.

The Piano by shushu_yaoi_lj (E, 37k)

He arrives on a boat during a particularly stormy day. Harry knew Astoria Greengrass had sent for a husband, someone to keep her company on the particularly dreary and dark winter days on this remote island. Harry didn’t know who it was she had arranged to be sent here. All he knew was that the weather was horrid today, and the Portkeys had never properly worked in this remote corner of the North Sea. The island was special, its magic working in odd and surprising ways. The last person Harry expects to find on the beach is Draco Malfoy.

[maladaptivewriting]

drarry fic recs for someone who’s never read drarry before ?

okay i know this is a month late, but here are my drarry recs for new readers

away childish things by lettered is one of the best. auror harry is de-aged by a potion accident and draco has to take care of him while trying to solve the case. it's a great place to start.

who we are in the shadows by quicksilvermaid is another auror (adjacent) harry fic that i really enjoy. it's a case fic, so high action and high stakes.

harry potter and the welcome to the world of grey by sobsicles is the absolute best morally grey harry potter fic. i've read so many with that tag, and this one is leagues above the rest. it takes place right after sirius dies.

i'm a veela draco fan, i've read probably every fic with that tag. so i recommend soup-pocalyspe and the great curry cataclysm by squadofcats and feather by shushu_yaoi_lj

finally, i recommend in the hand by aideomai which utilizes one of my favorite tropes, a multi universe story. it's short and sweet, but so entertaining and amazing.

there are a lot more that i really love, i think i've read like 200 drarry fics at this point and have liked and loved to so many of them.

[drarryglobesficrecs]

Post War - drarry fic recs

Kiss the Joy (Until the Sun Rise) by ICMezzo(37k)

The Room of Requirement was severely damaged in the war, but not so much that it could not provide for one lost student and another young hero—especially when they needed each other most of all.

Like Lightning at Your Fingertips by potterwatch(43k)

The problem with living with another insomniac is, eventually, they find out you’re one, too. When Harry and Draco return for their eighth year, they think they’ll see very little of each other. Then McGonagall assigns them to room together. And the castle starts breaking. And there’s that thing with Potter’s magic.

Nice Things by aideomai(22k)

The first thing that happened was Theodore Nott came back from France.

Hurricane by phrynne(121k)

Eleven years after the War, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are both still haunted, working themselves to death on the job. But nothing is killing them more than seven years denying their mutual, unrelenting and painful attraction.

Crimson Neon by xanthippe74(20k)

Winter, 1999. Harry thought going to New York would help him get his head on straight, but all he has to show for it are sore feet and a fridge full of takeaway containers. And now he’s homesick on top of everything else. It doesn’t help that his mysterious neighbour in 2C keeps cooking dishes that remind Harry of home and all the people he lost or left behind.

Under the weather by P_pato_roldnart, shushu_yaoi_lj(14k)

Harry Potter arrives on a Friday afternoon.

The sun is shining outside, and the Hogwarts grounds are covered in purple and white crocuses; the first yellow daffodils peeking timidly from behind the trees.

Spring is beautiful this year, Draco thinks, and yet, there’s a dark grey cloud, rumbling ominously and leaving a big puddle right in the middle of the staffroom.

The cloud appears to be right above Harry Potter’s head.

As the World Moves On by InTheShadows(8k)

When Draco falls into a coma after the Battle of Hogwarts, he is admitted to St Mungo's and forgotten. He has no cards, no flowers, no visitors, nothing. Nothing, that is, until Harry stumbles across his room one day. (And then keeps coming back.)

Nyctophilia by prolonged_autumn(107k)

Everyone's back for 8th year, and Harry and his friends seem determined to spend their last year in school running around at night, hyped up on coffee and alcohol and Honeydukes candy, doing all the childish things they didn't have the chance to do before. Draco watches as he's always watched: from afar, quiet and bitter and hopelessly in love. That is, until Pansy decides she's had quite enough of it.

The Sleeping Beauty Curse by who_la_hoop(152k)

When Draco Malfoy falls into a cursed sleep and can only be woken – at least, according to the Daily Prophet, that impeccable source of truth – by ‘true love’s kiss’, Harry Potter knows there’s no way on earth he’s the answer to this particular riddle. Is he . . .?

the in-betweens by derekmaliknurse(42k)

A tale of inter-house unity, Dirty Dancing, the various charms of certain Gryffindors and the Slytherins who fall for them, and Celestina Warbeck, in which Harry James Potter shares a room with one Draco Malfoy and despite seven years of past seething hatred, has the time of his life.

when evil blooms by thedoomofvalyria(83k)

Harry wanted a normal 8th year, but the mysterious and beautiful flowers growing around the castle have other ideas. They're up to something. And so is Draco Malfoy.

The July Tree by oknowkiss(51k)

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail… nor well-meaning friends, nor questionable communication skills, nor seven years of hating each other’s guts can keep Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy from falling in love.

OR: It’s Eighth Year, and Harry Potter has detention. What else is new? Well, since you asked: Greenhouse Four and the Tree of Life, for a start, and then there’s the new shared Eighth Year common room, and Harry’s sexuality, and these pesky dreams he keeps having about a blond man pushing him into things…

Summary:

Green eyes greet Draco when he arrives at the school gates, ready to start his new job as a Hogwarts professor after spending ten years in France. “Hey,” Potter says, waving at him as he approaches. “We weren’t expecting you until the start of term.” Draco is speechless. What the fuck is Potter doing at Hogwarts?

Excerpt:

Harry starts talking, and Draco feels his heart breaking, little by little, as details of his dreary childhood emerge.  

The lies about his parents and their death, the neglect and abuse. The cupboard and the household chores. His aunt forcing him to clean after Harry’s cousin when he was only four. A cold bed and an empty stomach keeping him awake at night. The loneliness and lack of love.

Draco feels hot tears on his cheeks, but he lets Harry continue, his melodious voice calm as if it were a relief to finally get everything out. He squeezes Harry’s hand and feels it warm against his. He tells Harry about his own past, about his eighth year at Hogwarts, about the bullying that he thought he thoroughly deserved. He talks about his life in Paris, living with the Muggles in a tiny cupboard where he couldn’t even stretch his legs and was always sleeping curled up like a baby.

Harry listens, and their stories start interlacing, the loneliness and desperate need for love so similar that Draco thinks it’s nearly meant to be that they found each other like this, after so long. After their tumultuous past.

“I didn’t tell you because I wanted your pity,” Harry says at the end, when the day has gone dark and Draco’s dinner has appeared on the low table in front of the sofa, a Stasis charm keeping it warm for him. “I just needed you to know…”

“I’m glad you told me,” Draco says, his fingers squeezing Harry’s, wanting to feel him even closer, missing his warm body and contagious smile. His intense gaze.

“I…” Harry continues, mumbling something as he tries to find the right words. “That house never felt like home. Hogwarts did, for the first time in my life. I hoped Grimmauld Place could become one when I started Auror training, but I was so heartbroken all the time, Draco. I joined the forces because it felt like the necessary thing to do after the war, but I was a wreck, and when I eventually started therapy, I realised that it was the wrong job for me. So I came back here. I just…I need somewhere to belong. Someone I can belong to.”

“Harry…” Draco murmurs, longing to say that he feels the same, but he has found both. Hogwarts is his home too, and Harry is the person Draco belongs to.

“I want to kiss you so badly,” it’s a mere whisper, but Draco thinks he has heard correctly. His heart starts beating madly, a thump-thump-thump that resonates in his ears at an increasing pace. Draco wonders if he’s losing it, if his mind is playing tricks on him – is he hallucinating? - when Harry’s voice becomes clearer. “Can I kiss you, Draco?”

“I…” Draco is at a loss for words. He can’t let Harry see his wings. Merlin, Harry wants to kiss him.

“I can cast an Obscuro on myself,” Harry adds hurriedly, “if you still don’t want me to see you…”

“Yes,” Draco breathes out, a little voice in his head insistently claiming this is the worst idea, that he should think straight, but he’s already standing up and opening the door as soon as he hears Harry casting the spell on himself, and then Draco is grabbing Harry’s wrist and pulling him inside, shutting the door behind them.

Harry stands there, lips parted as he breathes fast, a black blindfold over his eyes and his flushed cheeks, making him look like a treat. Harry’s glasses are tucked in the pocket of his hoodie, and the simple sight of them makes something crack inside Draco. Harry is standing in front of him, vulnerable and open, and Draco simply can’t be cautious and calm any longer.

He wants to take Harry so badly, to make him fall apart under his hands and lips.

“Draco…” he whispers, a hand reaching for him. Draco catches it, placing it on his own hip. He moves closer, gently crowding Harry against the wall until their chests are flush and their foreheads touching. Draco can feel Harry’s warm breath on his face and sighs.

“Please don’t touch my back,” he whispers in Harry’s ear, “nor my shoulders. Are you sure you want me to…?”

“Please,” Harry begs, sounding needy and desperate as he tilts his head and runs a hand on Draco’s chest, cupping his cheek and waiting for Draco to move.

Draco shuts his eyes and leans closer, thinking that this must be a dream, brushing his lips against Harry’s, softly at first, relishing the little shudder that shakes Harry and makes him let out the tiniest little whimper. Harry clutches at the fabric of Draco’s robes and pulls him even closer, pressing his mouth on Draco’s and moaning when Draco responds and opens his lips, granting Harry access.

It’s too fast and too good, Draco thinks, like a fire consuming them from within as the kiss deepens and becomes more desperate, Harry’s fingers sliding through Draco’s loose hair, letting out a groan.

“Merlin, you have no idea how much I love your hair,” Harry says when they part for air, and Draco pulls him closer again.

“Don’t you dare stop kissing me,” he says, sounding more possessive than he means to but seeing Harry’s cheeks flush and his eyebrows crease as he pulls Draco by the front of his robes and crashes their lips together again.

Draco doesn’t know what this means, what Harry wanting to kiss him and rock against him means. He can feel the shape of Harry’s hard cock against his hip, craves to ask if it means that Harry wants him even just a fraction of how much Draco desires him, the need all-consuming and maddening.

Draco knows he should explain his condition to Harry, that he should probably warn him, but he doesn’t want Harry to have sex with him out of pity or a sense of duty.

He needs Harry to want him for who he is, a little broken and lonely, but so full of love for him.

HD Hurt-Comfort Fest 2024 recs

Here are some of my favorite fics from @hd-hurtcomfort-fest 2024. Listed in alphabetical order.

Come Hell or High Water by @mallstars [22k]

In his bed under Mungo's floating candles, Harry sips tea, watches reality TV, and does his best not to pay any mind to the curse which has invaded his body. Harry wants to heal. He wants his healer even more. Keeping one desperate secret can't hurt. Not much, anyway.

En Passant by @dodgerkedavra [41k]

Harry and Draco survive the apocalypse. This is what happens after.

Final Exams at the Curse-Breaker's Academy by IzRoan [20k]

Final exams at the Curse-Breaker’s Academy are simple: If you can’t be a good curse-maker, you can’t be a good curse-breaker. When Draco gets cursed by a classmate’s invention, Harry has 24-hours to break the curse. Much to Draco’s ire, Potter seems oddly dedicated to drawing out this exam until the very last second.

Fine-Fractured Halo by @rainjulyx [29k]

For Harry, it all starts on July 31, 1999 and ends on July 31, 2019. Twenty years of longing, love, and pain in no particular order. Or: An annual birthday party that turns to a yearly school reunion. Hermione and Pansy are party planners, Ron is an excellent baker, and everyone tries their best to attend a birthday party just to see each other.

Future Histories by @thecouchsofa [6k]

After an accident at work, Draco finds that two decades of his memories have been temporarily wiped. His Healers are reluctant to tell him the identity of his mystery husband, thinking he’ll react badly. Oh, how wrong they are.

Thief by shushu_yaoi_lj / @orange-peony​  [22k]

“Harry Potter will steal something precious from Draco Malfoy,” Draco said in a voice that didn’t sound like his own. “What?” Harry asked, confused.

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

What is your favourite Drarry fic and favourite Wolfstar fic?

First of hi!! I think you are my first ask ever, this blog is purely my fanfic reblogs repository so it's nice to see someone else here.

I wouldn't say I have one only favorite of this but I can give you a top five

WOLFSTAR TOP 5

A. All the young dudes by MsKingBean89

This one's mandatory but I have to admit I never finished it. I'm too scared to read the ending even if I already know what happens.

But I just love how their characters are portrayed especially Remus!

B. Text Talk by Merlywhirls

This one's also a classic but, It's so cute, so sad, so adorable and unique. Truly something to read over and over again.

C. (The entirety of )Discard Verse by picascribit

Im pasting the series summary here because I can't describe it better and everyone should give it a chance. Beware of the warnings tho!

Non-magic Wolfstar AU romance set in contemporary Seattle. Sirius is a mixed race White/Japanese trans man, and an assistant librarian at the Seattle Public Library. Remus is Latino and an HIV+ homeless college student and sex worker. There are some angsty bits, but overall it's not a downer.

My sweet Remus is the strongest person alive in every fic I love him so much.

D. Pray the gay away by orphan account

Remus' parents send him to a Christian camp designed to help him control his “Same Sex Attraction”. Once there, Remus finds himself rooming with the devilishly handsome bad-boy, Sirius Black. Will he give in to temptation? Could the attraction he feels for Sirius be more than physical? Non-Magical 1970s AU

Amazing work it's as beautiful as it's sad. Again beware warnings.

E. Don't fuck this up lupin by blibberinghumdiggory

Short cute soulmates au fic

DRARRY TOP 5

A. F*ck! by shushu_yaoi_lj

Cute and hot an so much fun to read

B. The importance of being Draco Malfoy by poppyhills

The amnesia fic you didn't know you needed but I can assure you you do. It's so much fun and such an unique view of Draco's mind.

C. Dear cousin, love Regulus by LLAPI115 and XxTheDarkLordxX

Quite honestly the drarry takes a backseat to all the character work Draco does but still beautiful and necessary read

D. Chaos is my second home by

This is the third work of the series and you should probably read the other ones to understand but basically it's our boys with a whole less trauma sort of. Since Vernon and Lucius died when their kids are babes their upbringing is really different and their relationship later has a whole other first steps and I loved all the thought put into their characters.

E. Silk Sheets

Purely porn without (much) plot but I believe it deserves a special mention because of all the times I have read it.

Welp! That's it, honestly I just checked my AO3 bookmarks to make this list but it was really nice to remember all these lovely fics sorry I didn't tag them but you can find them by name or author on AO3. I have a bunch more of fics left especially drarry so let me know if you want me to post another list!
