Title: Symptom of Your Touch at AO3 Author: NoxNoir Pairing: Draco Malfoy x Harry Potter Rating: Explicit Word Count: 115,496 Summary:

St. Mungo's Healer Draco Malfoy is used to being pushed to his limits when providing aide to the ailing, but when an unexpected encounter with an out of character Harry Potter throws his life out of balance one night, he is forced to ask himself how far he's willing to push his own levels of discomfort to be of aid to a man in need of help that only he can provide.

And once that need for aid is over, how will he find balance in his life again?

My notes:

I want to share an incredible fanfic that has left me utterly captivated. It's called "Symptom of Your Touch”, this fanfic is a roller coaster of emotions with a love-infused Harry. This story takes us on a thrilling journey where Draco Malfoy must navigate a defiant Harry Potter under the influence of a lust/love potion, forcing Harry to confront his true feelings for Draco. It's honestly one of the best fanfics I've ever read, filled with intense emotions and a gripping narrative that keeps you hooked until the end.

Sirius was like a burning fire. He did everything with passion, his mischievous personally making him shine like the star he was named after. Sirius presence demanded attention even if he wasn't looking for it. His long black hair, his silvery blue eyes and his smile were just captivating. He was loud and preen under the attention of others.

Regulus was like a calm rain. He was quiet and silent most of the time, his cold personality made people afraid of him. Regulus usually wasn't noticed when he arrived or left into a room, indeed, people usually forget about him unless he was actively wanting to get someone's attention, most of the time to get a point. His curly black hair and his cold silver eyes weren't enough for people to try get close to him. He was always by himself and enjoyed his solitude.

James loves pointing out their differences, but he knows that Sirius can be just as cold and that Regulus can be just as mischievous. He knows that when in pain, both try to hide it from others, but never from each other, because growing up, they only had each other. He knows that they can look into the others eyes and have a full conversation, away from prying ears. He knows that there's nothing Sirius wouldn't do for his little brother. He knows that Regulus would cut his own hand before bringing harm to his big brother.

James enjoys watching them interact, because they have a unique bond and he is happy to be part of their life in different ways. James enjoys late talking about stars with Regulus and playing pranks around Hogwarts with Sirius. James is glad to have them both, his best friend and his lover. Yeah, he is glad, because the Black Brothers are always there for him, in different ways and that's what makes it perfect.

"James."

James couldn't suppress the smile that appeared on his face. For the first time since they had commenced rendezvousing on the Astronomy Tower, Regulus had uttered his name. It was no longer Potter, and thus, James smiled because he realized in that instant that they were no longer Potter and Black, but simply James and Regulus.

Leave it to Fate

Title: Leave it to Fate at AO3 Author: greenmegsnoham Pairing: Draco Malfoy x Harry Potter Rating: Explicit Word Count: 45,529 Summary: "…I've always done what everyone expected from me, haven't I? I became an Auror, married Ginny and made my happy little life with sunshine and picket fences and everything the Saviour deserved." "You say that like you didn't choose that, Harry," said Hermione stiffly. "You never had to do any of that."

"Yeah, well. I'm choosing not to now, aren't I?"

Sometimes you need to walk away from a relationship that is no longer enough, leave your job of twenty years to work in a coffee shop, and meet the right person at the right time on an anonymous dating app.

But when things go wrong, you just need to leave it to Fate. My notes: There's one story that has captured my heart: Harry and Draco finding love as adults through a dating app. It's a remarkable tale that breaks free from character bashing and shows us a new side of these iconic characters. In this story, they've matured and learned from their past. No more enemies, just two adults navigating life after the war. It's refreshing to see their growth.

Through a dating app, their paths cross, without knowing the real identity of the other, and it's a delight to watch their connection unfold. It's a testament to the power of unexpected love.

One of the most captivating aspects of this story is Harry's internal struggle when his feelings for Draco and his feelings for his match in the app Fate “Lucah,” get mixed.

This is a story that breaks stereotypes and reminds us that second chances and unexpected connections can lead to something truly beautiful. So, grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let yourself be swept away by the magic of love. You won't be disappointed!

Saving Unicorns

Title: Saving Unicorns at AO3 Author: Mapplegreen Pairing: Draco Malfoy x Harry Potter Rating: Explicit Word Count: 78,586 Summary: Harry returns to Hogwarts for his third year of teaching Defence against the Dark Arts after splitting up with Ginny and hopes having Teddy there as a first year will distract him from his own mess of a life. Draco returns to Hogwarts as the new potion's teacher after years of living away from Great Britain and hopes that there's still a place for him in the castle, despite his tumultuous past. They both are disappointed but still get so much more than they were hoping for. A tale about self-discovery, honesty and pots and pans but never about saving unicorns. My notes: I have to confess, I am absolutely smitten with this incredible story that I stumbled upon at the beginning of the year.

This gem has captured my heart since the beginning of the year. It beautifully explores Harry's journey of self-discovery and the unconditional support he receives from none other than Draco Malfoy himself.

Draco, the trustworthy professor who becomes a confidant for his students, provides the kind of guidance and understanding we all wish for. He's just amazing! The way he embraces his role as a mentor and offers invaluable advice is truly remarkable.

I can't help but fall head over heels for this heartwarming tale, and I'm sure you will too! So, if you're in the mood for a delightful story that combines friendship, personal growth, and a sprinkle of magic, I highly recommend checking it out. Trust me, you won't be able to put it down.

Regulus regarded James as his radiant sun, perpetually emanating warmth and brightness. In James' eyes, Regulus was a stellar masterpiece, the most captivating star in the nocturnal heavens. Though their destinies seemed divergent, whenever the sun's gentle rays touched Regulus, his thoughts gravitated towards James—the one who sought out Regulus, gleaming resplendently amidst the nighttime firmament.

my almost lover

Title: my almost lover at AO3 Author: alarainai Pairing: James Potter x Regulus Black Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Word Count: 22,593 Summary: 

“If I was dating Regulus, I would have noticed.” A pause. His friends all stare at him with various levels of disbelief. Suddenly, he feels very stupid. “Are you sure?” Remus asks.

Regulus and James are a couple. James is the last person to realise this.

My notes: Thanks to TikTok, I stumbled upon a video that introduced me to the captivating pairing of James and Regulus. It was love at first sight, and I have zero regrets.

James, the unconditional lover, and Regulus, unaccustomed to love, create an irresistible contrast. Witnessing Regulus open up to James' warmth is simply adorable, showcasing the transformative power of love.

In "My Almost Lover," an oblivious James and a sweet Regulus fit together perfectly. The story balances angst with tons of fluff and love, immersing readers in a heartwarming tale that lingers long after the last page.

you've got the antidote for me

Title: you've got the antidote for me at AO3 Author: Kandakicksass Pairing: Draco Malfoy x Harry Potter Rating: Mature Word Count: 20,730  Summary: When Harry Potter unintentionally severs their soulbond before it can fully form, Draco Malfoy resigns himself to a slow death and decides not to burden Harry with a soulmate he's made it very clear he doesn't want. He's never been selfless before, but for Harry, he can try.

My notes: From the moment I started reading, I fell in love with the narrative and its captivating storyline.

The author brilliantly portrays Draco as a self-sacrificing idiot, adding depth to his character and making him relatable and endearing. The soulmates AU element further enhances the emotional connection between the characters, making the story all the more intriguing.

What sets this particular story apart is its sheer brilliance. It has captivated me to such an extent that I have lost count of the number of times I have revisited it. The writing style is exceptional, the pacing is perfect, and the emotional depth of the characters is beautifully portrayed.
