Fawning Over You by @toxik-angel (39k, E)

Tags: Trans Draco Malfoy, Porn Star Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter Is Obsessed with Draco Malfoy, Texting, Supportive Ron and Hermione

He can’t look at either of them. Hermione shifts, the floorboards creaking the only noise in the room. Ron clears his throat. “Replace every time Harry’s mentioned ‘short film’ with ‘porn video,’ and you’ll get it.” Hermione’s small oh is mortifying.  “Wait, you went to Draco’s dorm room to watch his porn together? And you’re still wondering if he’s into you?” “Um. Not quite?” Harry says, chancing a look at her. She has her ‘ you are quite thick’ expression on. “But if I told you what we… actually did… I think I might literally die again.” “You said you didn’t sleep together.” “Uh huh.” “So you didn’t make a porn video.” “Can we talk about literally anything else? Want to talk about my nightmares? Because that would be less horrible than this.”  “So you see why Harry can’t make a move, right? Because he’s Draco’s client, technically, and it would be inappropriate if Harry pushed.” “Harry, what could be so embarrassing that isn’t having sex with Draco Malfoy?” Hermione asks. “There’s only so many things you could do in a dorm room. Did you do drugs?”  Harry lets out a slightly hysterical laugh.

This fic stuck out to me from @hd-fan-fair's excellent selection last year. It is hilarious but has so much heart as well. This is no down-and-out Draco, he's proud to be a sex worker. He's hot and Harry's into it. @toxik-angel writes pithy chat and text exchanges between the two that had me laughing out loud. As a bonus, I recorded the podfic version for @hptransfest this year and I'm really proud of it.

🎧 Listen to the podfic version recorded by me🎧

[lostdrarryfics]

hi! i was hoping you could help me find this fic: the only thing i remember is harry having a conversation with molly and molly was saying like: “any of my children would be honoured to be with you” and harry was like: “i don’t want to be with someone who’s honoured” or something like this. molly then sends a long letter to draco apologizing about her behavior. thank you in advance!

Drarry Fic Rec List: Us Vs The World

The list I want to show you to day is one I especially adore: fics with strong vibe of "us against the world". They could be good, they could be bad, they could save the world, they could destroy it, they could simply go on with their lives. No matter what, they will always have each other.

- Hell & Other Places (M; 2,5k) by @tepre

OR: 9 times Draco said ‘I love you’ and 1 time he didn’t.

Draco & Harry are sent to investigate a haunted Bed & Breakfast.

- Vis-à-Vis-à-Vis (E; 49999) by @vukovich

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. Until The Prophet is flooded with sightings of dead people. Until Robards throws himself on his sword. Until Ron turns on his own family. Until Harry scarcely trusts his own reflection in the mirror and trusts the stranger in his bed even less.

Until all that stands between war and peace is Harry, a name plate, a stadium of murderers, and Draco Malfoy.

God save the Ministry.

- Basement Level 9 (M; 2k) by @fw00shy

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

- Stay with Me 'Til Morning (R; 8,4k) by Lucilla Darkate

In a once upon a time world, white magic would triumph over black, good would carry the day, evil would be vanquished, the valiant would stand and be true, and always, always, true love would end with a happily ever after.

- Purple Words (E; 67k) by FangirlWolfie

“High five me.”

James immediately put Harry down and gave him a high five.

Huh?

Oh.

- In Grey Worsted (M; 2,8k) by literaryspell

Harry's only chance at happiness is slipping away, one piece at a time. He isn’t about to give up, though.

- Ever Fixed Mark (T; 1,1k) by @shealwaysreads

In which Harry decides to burn the world, and Draco watches on with adoration.

Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no, it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken

Shakespeare, Sonnet 116

- Dead Ends (E; 18,8k) by @toxik-angel & @melcarrianna

Head Auror Harry Potter is the best at his job. Head Auror Harry Potter always saves the day.

But someone has been picking off ex-Death Eaters one by one. Someone has been abducting Harry's friends right out of their homes. Someone is fucking the Minister for Magic.

The Minister for Magic and Head Auror are both very concerned about it.

- Because Potter Is Allergic to Poppies (M; 41,1k) by Lomonaaeren

Auror Harry Potter is in hospital being treated for a curse when someone tries to kill him. Obviously it is up to bored, trapped Apprentice Healer Draco, who was only admitted to the Healer Program in the first place to do the menial work, to find out who did it. Because then they will promote him. No, it’s for no other reason, thanks.

- Toujours pur (T; 21k) by Veralynn

"Malfoy would never confess truth to an enemy, and we’re enemies to him. That’s way I made a plan.”

“A rat,” Harry said.

“Exactly. Someone I can trust one hundred per cent about You-Know-Who. Someone who knows well Malfoy and his past. That makes you the perfect candidate.”

- REVOLVEVLOVER (E; 46,3k) by @firethesound & zeitgeistic

The work Harry does is justifiable. It’s justice. He works for his country, and his country is a republic—the magical side, anyway. It’s not laudable work, it’s not work he’s proud of, but it’s necessary work. Harry has always taken the necessary jobs that no one else has the stomach for.

It’s just that he’s never deciphered a kill sheet and seen Draco Malfoy’s name on it.

Career Choices: Harry: Hit Wizard; Draco: Anti-Government Extremist

- Who we are in the shadows (E; 99,7k) by @quicksilvermaid

What happens when you’re forced to become the very thing you despise?

Ex-Auror Harry Potter, tossed out of the Ministry for something he had no control over, has been looking for a way back to his former life. When he comes across Draco Malfoy in the criminal underbelly of Wizarding London and in need of protection, Harry figures bringing him in to face the Ministry's justice is his ticket back to everything he's lost.

But nothing is exactly as it seems. Not even Harry himself. And as he gets drawn further and further into Malfoy's world of honour and deception he finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew—about his childhood nemesis, the Ministry job he misses so much, and most of all, about himself.

What happens when you’re forced to see that you were wrong?

- Draco Malfoy and the Heart of Slytherin (T; 34,9k) by sabershadowkat

At the heart of every Slytherin.

- The Boy and the Sleeping Prince (E; 26,7k) by @phoenix-acid & @writcraft

Harry is miserable and tired of being an Auror, coasting through life until he’s forced to make some changes. Spurred on by his passion for drawing and working with best-selling author Draco Malfoy, Harry develops a charm which gives children a magical, interactive reading experience. But when it’s time to test the spell, the two men find themselves trapped in a nightmarish fairy tale world. Can they escape unscathed, or is Draco right in his assertions that there is no such thing as a happily ever after?

Career Choices: Harry: Illustrator; Draco: Writer

- When Death Comes Calling (T; 2,6k) by @mystickitten42

It’s All Hallows’ Eve and as Harry investigates a string of seemingly related deaths, there’s one he hopes to prevent.

He looks over Harry’s shoulder and Harry turns too. They both see it, the dark translucent figure making its way to shore.

~ Or ~

Getting together in the face of Death. Literally.

- Servile (E; 68,5k) by calrissian18

“I would love anything you gifted me, My Lord, but this,” silver eyes, the same shade as the dragon that marked Harry's arm, glinted in his direction under the Death Eater’s hood, “is exquisite.”

- The Corruption Sequence series (E; 94,2k) by beren

Harry Potter is captured by Voldemort and the Dark Lord has plans for him that involve the essence of many different dark creatures. What Voldemort cannot know is that the presence of Draco Malfoy will affect the outcome of his plots and change everything.

- More Powerful Then Experience (M; 89,7k) by flightinflame

Harry's life changes when he is three, when his parents are murdered and the Dark Lord takes him to raise as his own.

Draco's life changes when he is six, when he finds himself given to a strange green-eyed boy who speaks Parseltongue and casts impossible magic.

Remus's life changes three years later, when a chance meeting proves to him that somehow James and Lily's son is still alive.

- The Gryffindor Prince (G; 6,3k) by @mfingenius

“Do not come near us again, evil Slytherins!” he exclaims, pointing his wand towards them again. Pansy and Blaise look more amused than anything, really, but they hold up their hands in surrender. 

“Alright,” Pansy says, agreeably enough, a smirk on her face. “But Potter, Draco’s a Slytherin, like us. He’ll have to come back eventually.”

Harry’s eyes narrow, and, a moment later, he is throwing Draco over his shoulder, arm tight across the back of his thighs so he won’t fall, and Draco yelps.

Have fun reading!

Complete fics posted on AO3 this day

1. Chromatic Aberration by @lemonlimelea [T, 6k]

Hogwarts is acting strange, Potter is not being subtle, and Draco is oblivious.

2. Harry Potter and the Snake in the Park 'Round his House by @sillspore [M, 30k]

Harry Potter was anything but normal. This was abundantly clear by the fact that there was a snake hissing at him from the ground and he understood it perfectly.

3. Infairitance by @toxik-angel [T, 61k]

It's August 1999, and Harry only plans on returning Malfoy's wand to him in his weird little potion shop. The Malfoy he meets there is not the Malfoy he expected. He also was not expecting to see Fred's... unanimated corpse.

4. Love at it's Kore by @sightedkarma [M, 39k]

Draco's half crup - half muggle lab has fallen ill, and none of his spells or potions are working. When Pansy and Ginny suggest he take her to their Magi-vet, he hadn't been prepared for it to be Harry Potter. Anything for Kore.

5. Matagot Matinee by @multiimoments [G, 1k]

When Draco takes Scorpius on a monthly outing, he's excited for a fun day with his beloved son. He doesn't expect to run into a certain someone he hasn't seen in five years.

6. A Naked Professor by HunterRapunzel [T, 3k]

Prompt: “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?”

Fest/Exchange

1. Creature Comforts by Anonymous [M, 86k]

When Draco is turned into a werewolf, he does not expect to be given a postbellum bedroom in Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, nor does he expect to find a whole new set of friends. When Harry is turned into a werewolf, he does not expect to make a whole new set of friends. He could have anticipated, however, falling even harder in love with the stubborn, acerbic, workaholic prat who’s been hovering at the fringes of his life for the past seven years. This is exactly what happens. ★ Unleashed! Fest 2024 | @unleashed-fest

[drarry-mini-bang]

Drarry Mini Bang - Week 3 round-up

No More Presents (E, 57k) by 🖊️ @annanother-thing 🎨 @okay-sky

Summary: Draco thinks it's cute that Harry insists on bringing him sex toys like an oversized cat bringing home birds. Unfortuantely, Harry's tendency to buy sex toys when he is in the past is... problematic, and when he decides to "borrow" them? Well, that's just asking for chaos.

Hits Different (T, 45k) by 🖊️Storybelle 🎨milkandhoney

Summary: Nearly five years on from the battle of Hogwarts, Harry and Draco both fly for the same minor league quidditch team and somehow have become good friends. On the back of a win that could mean big things for them the team goes out for celebratory drinks. Draco admits he once had a crush on Harry. It was a while ago. He got over it. This shouldn’t drive Harry absolutely insane. It’s also, without a doubt, going to.

Hothouse Flowers and Hot Hot Showers (E, 101k) by 🖊️azalea_larae🎨@basiatlu

Summary: The eighth-year Muggle Studies class is spending five weeks at an American Muggle university. Harry’s assigned to room with Draco. And to make things, well, harder, there’s an inconvenient side effect to not using magic for a prolonged period of time . . .

Heavy Hearted (M, 30k) by 🖊️ @toxik-angel 🎨 @sharperthan

Summary: Draco comes out of Azkaban different, Harry can say with certainty.

Because Old-Draco wouldn't have taken a blast to the spine for Harry.

Horrible Goose Fest Honkorable Mentions

The end is in sight! We've had such a fabulous fest with some brilliant finished works (see them all here). Because the goal of goose fest was to encourage creators to continue their works in progress, we wanted to make a post celebrating those that made progress during the fest, but didn't quite meet our fest deadline.

MissQuigley added 8k words to their drarry WIP, The Great Outdoors!

Featuring: established married Drarry, misunderstandings, and a shared penchant for exhibitionism 👀

@toxik-angel wrote 6k words and FINISHED their drarry fic, The Forest Dragon. It's now marked complete on AO3, so go give it a honk and some love!

Featuring: mentally unstable Draco Malfoy, wholesome kid content, Harry gets kidnapped by a dragon, Seer Ron Weasley, Non-linear narrative, and a Ron-Draco friendship (kind of)

And many many wonderful words were added to WIP docs by some very talented creators, and we look forward to reading these works when they are shared with the world.

Fic claim: Of magical beings being - magic

Summary: Out of the blue, Potter's letter says: I need you. And Draco, ever a fool, goes. Cue magical houses, fluffy Beings with a sweet tooth, mutual pining level: infinity, and a truly outrageous amount of tea.

Of Magical Beings Being - Magic - 30,000 words, rated E, for @unleashed-fest

Friends, my first ever anon fest fic has just been revealed, and I am beyond myself with happiness that this tiny little story that is purely a chunk of my heart is just, out here for you all to see! I know I often claim 'this is the softest thing I've ever written' but this, this, truly is. It's sad and so filled with longing: it's joyful, and bright, and full of magic.

It's got a comfortable, confident trans man Harry in the loveliest magical house you can imagine, it's got a Draco so in love with him he's absolutely raging, it's got fluffy animals and adorable children and so, so much tea, and if that's not enough, hot chocolate. Pals, it's the cottage-coriest thing ever and everyone's heart gets broken at least once. It's, as always, about healing, and about love.

I had so much fun writing it, and cannot thank my lovely friends enough: @basicallyahedgehog, @samyistrying, @toxik-angel - for lending me your ear and your heart and giving your time and your thoughts. @stavromulabetaaa, @getawayfox - this fest was so brilliant, and honestly, truthfully, without it, this story wouldn't exist - I would never have found this little bit of myself. Thank you, most profoundly.

Snippet:

From the open window, the smell was strong of lavender, of orange blossom, of thyme and of basil and wild garlic. The house had an enormous garden, with gnarly trees, with weeds and wildflowers in blues and pinks and whites and. Draco, with some difficulty, looked away. For the house was now clear, was close, and in the door, ajar, stood—him.

His hair was longer. A streak of white in the black of his curls, tucked artlessly behind an ear. He’d grown wider, but only just, strong shoulders and thick thighs. A beard, trimmed neatly, framed his jaw in a truly unfair display. His skin was dark under his white shirt: he was, all at once, too much to bear. Draco closed his eyes and begged himself to cease. This foolishness had no place between them, ever since the—well. Ever since.

“Draco,” with a smile in his voice, the absolute fucker. Potter was coming closer, was lovely, here in this place that so suited him, in the joy etched in every line of his face. Draco’s belly reacted to it, squirming, cross.

“Potter,” with what he hoped was a professional tone. What was probably a pathetic whimper. “What—” stumbled coming out of the car, which parked itself under the overgrown apple tree, was caught at the elbow by a very warm hand. Un-clutched himself from the clutches. Tried glaring. Failed.

“What a surprise,” he managed in the end, half-choked. “Who would have guessed it was you requiring my services.”

Read Of Magical Beings Being - Magic on AO3!

(Oh my god, I never even mentioned the AMAZING banner El made for this fic. Please, if you read the story, please have another look at it and TELL ME your heart isn't filled to the brim. El, you're magic, is what you are.)

Thanks @boredbitchs-blog!

I'll be insufferable for you by toxik_angel (71k, E)

Don’t forget to bookmark, leave kudos and comments!

Hii I need help finding a fic. It’s an 8th year fic and all I remember from it is that Draco is under some kind of probation where he has limited magic use out of class but he sneaks out of his dorm at night to practice spells and potions in an empty classroom. Harry follows him every night under the invisibility cloak to keep an eye and usually sleeps in the classroom as well. I remember Harry being surprised because Draco’s magic was not good in class but in the secret night sessions he’s perfectly find and at some point Draco says he fakes being bad in class to not come across as threatening to the other students. Also I think there’s a focus on how Draco can sense Harry’s presence around him even if he’s wearing the cloak? He nods goodbye to Harry when they return to the dorms in the morning even if Harry’s invisible etc

TIA!

Sorry, we could not find this fic. Maybe one of our followers can help!

My Love Is a Curse: Harry’s fingers are cold when Draco takes them in his hands, but Draco doesn’t mind. (Draco/Harry)

In the Woods Somewhere: Draco gets out of bed slowly, even though he’s alone with no one to disturb, and pads quietly over to the fire, the floor chilling his feet even through his socks. (Draco/Harry, Draco/Fenrir)

dirty filthy secret: The air in Sirius��� shitty bedroom at Twelve Grimmauld Place was stale with sweat and in some distant corner of Sirius’ mind, he knew this was wrong, somehow. (Sirius/Draco)

Black Mass with Fangs: Draco is first aware of the harsh light, even through his closed eyelids. (Draco/Harry)

her eyes. : It’s her eyes that are the worst part, the part Narcissa finds the hardest. (Narcissa/Charity)

Skirt (microfic): They keep skirting around it. (Draco/Harry)

Sucker: Harry begrudgingly came back to Hogwarts at the behest of McGonagall, to complete his final year with no distractions, even though the castle hadn’t been completely rebuilt yet. (Draco/Harry)

Travel (microfic): “Would you come with me?” (Draco/Harry)

a voice reaching out in a piercing cry: You can’t see. (Draco/Harry)

Bramble: Long fingers pluck a blackberry from the bramble bush, and place it onto a pink tongue. (Draco/Harry)

I don't think there is much of a pattern personally, let me know what you think!

Harry Potter Rec Fest Day 19 - Hottest Smut

For a third day in a row, these are stories that stood out because they made me feel things in a less than ideal place, like on a cross-country train. Thanks, @hprecfest for calling me out. 😳

Sugar and Spice by @inlovewithforever Pairing: Draco x Hermione x Theo Word count: 156,052 Rating: E

I devoured this fic last summer during one of the canicules (heat waves) in France when it was too hot too move. I'm not sure whether the heat or this fic made me sweat more; it was a close competition. There's also so much sweetness and the relationship develops in such a lovely way. I couldn't get enough of it.

Fawning Over You by @toxik-angel Pairing: Draco x Harry Word count: 39,283 Rating: E

Holy moly, this is the hottest fic I've read in quite a while. It was part of this years @hd-fan-fair Career Fair, where Harry is a politician and Trans!Draco is a uni student who makes porn online on the side. The writing is incredible and so hot, especially considering there's no actual sex until the very end. It's very accurately tagged Voice Kink, so I hope the author will let me podfic it soon. (No pressure, @toxik-angel, but I doubt that Harry would be the only one who gets off on Draco's voice.)

If this description hasn't made you want to read it yet, let me add that the author gives the alternate title as "Whore-ton Hears a Harry". 😂

And finally, two little self-recs ...

Stars and Scars by @aneiria-writes - a Podfic Pairing: Draco x Hermione x Harry Word count: 30,950 Rating: E

The star of the show here is the tension build up. @aneiria-writes writes great smut in a variety of pairings and poly ships, but in this soulmate fic, I think it's the build-up that makes it so hot. I don't want to spoil the fun, so I'll leave you to check it out for yourself.

Mind and Body by sarena - a Podfic Pairing: Draco x Hermione Word count: 20,999 Rating: E

As I reach the end of this list, I realize that we're all just sort of outing our own kinks. 🤷🏽‍♀️ This one is it for me - the tag Sapiosexuality doesn't have enough works in it to satiate me, but this fic is a perfect example. The author says "I never thought anyone would brave so much explicit smut" with regard to this podfic, but I can tell you that I didn't need any courage at all. Everything about it, even the initial nervous meeting-in-a-bar and stumbling over post-war feelings and guilt, is so well done. I love a Hermione who knows what she wants and takes it.
