2025.07 ~ Top 10 longest fics posted on AO3

1. Down, Vain Lights: Recordare by @rhysve [E, 455k]

The Triwizard Tournament is over. Draco Malfoy, in a fit of vengeful grief, attempts sketchy blood magic against Harry Potter whilst drunk. When he wakes up he finds, to his dismay, that it seems to have worked.

2. Elemental Betrayer by Lori94 [E, 337k]

Harry's been kept in the dark for so long, about so many things. After the third task of the Tri-wizard tournament quite a few secrets come to light and darkness seems like home to him. He makes new friends while trying to keep the old and learns magic he'd never knew existed.

3. When Daylight Dies by mindlessramblings [T, 255k]

In a world where there are four Potters instead of three, and where Voldemort makes a different choice upon hearing a prophecy, Harry Potter's life takes a sharp turn off the path decided for him by Dumbledore. What repercussions will this have on Magical Britain?

4. Labrynthine by inkysand [M, 209k]

[...] I wish the goblins would come and take you away, right now.

5. Something Good by FangirlWolfie [E, 166k]

There’s a tall, dark, handsome rugby player in Draco’s introduction to programming class. Draco is just trying to enjoy a few years of freedom before having to succumb to the duties of being the single heir to the Malfoy fortune. They meet, and slowly but surely, everything changes.

6. Flat 3 by kuchi_sabishii [E, 146k]

After Ron and Hermione split up, Harry decided he’d had enough of Grimmauld Place and its charming ambiance of death and despair, so he found a flat in North London. Draco, haunted by the echoing silence of the Manor, also signed a lease on a flat in North London. Unfortunately for them, it was the same flat. Even more unfortunate: their landlord was MIA, the Magical Tenancy Board was a bureaucratic nightmare, and Hermione had appointed herself their Mediator. Everything was fine. Probably.

7. In A Minute There Is Time by @seetherelics [E, 130k]

Life has changed a lot for Harry Potter since the war. Finding himself in the care of Teddy Lupin, understanding who he is and how he fits into this world, and discovering what that means for him when the situation turns to the one and only: Draco Malfoy.

8. The Slytherin Prince by dontcallmealbie [E, 99k]

Almost twenty years after the end of the war, Harry receives a mysterious letter from none other than Gellert Grindelwald, asking for his help. As his apparently perfect life begins to fall apart, Harry will try to unravel the mystery behind that strange message, but to do so, he will have to get closer to an old enemy: Draco Malfoy.

9. I'll Come Running by Ginrosee [M, 76k]

Two huge snakes roam the castle and Harry has an identity crisis.

10. The Smaller by @mihorina79 [M, 75k]

It may take more than a lifetime, but when Harry's given a choice between discovering the possibilities of a million worlds or the simple 'what could be' with 'Draco', he chooses the smaller.

※ HONOURABLE MENTIONS :

11. Timeless In Your Finery by @unsightlypearl [E, 55k]

The first time Harry sees Malfoy after the Death Eater trials, he's wearing a set of expensive dress robes. The second time Harry sees him, he's in a very unexpected uniform. The third time, he's in a leather miniskirt. When rookie Auror Potter is sent out to investigate a noise complaint, he finds himself on the doorstep of a flat shared by three familiar Slytherins – all somehow cursed into wearing each other's clothes, none of them sure why, and only one of them happy to see him. And only one of them seems to notice just how much Draco Malfoy in high heels and a miniskirt is making Harry sweat. Spoiler: It's not Draco doing the noticing. Not at first, anyway.

12. The Golden Den by @madriddler [E, 45k]

When it was discovered that Harry was an Omega, his application to become an Auror was immediately denied. With no other job prospects at 20, Harry feels lost, until he gets a wild idea: what if he just opened his own cafe? This wild idea turned into a reality with the help of his Co-owner Ron, and The Golden Den was formed! [...]

Dearest sister, we know everything! We gave Madam Witch everything we had. All our jewelry and crowns, our amber palace and our lustrous braids- everything, we gave her everything to save you from your death. Madam Witch sends you this. Careful, within the shell is a trapped storm. Before the sun rises, you must open this vessel. The storm will burst forth and sink the ship, the prince and the princess. This is the price you must pay, the only way you can become a mermaid again. Hurry! Either they must perish, or you.
