the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

drarry fic rec list

@aceofshitposts asked for my favorite drarry fics so if figured i'd make a rec post. it was so hard to narrow it down!! but here are (some of) my tops, in no particular order:

All Life is Yours to Miss by Saras_Girl {M, 114k}

Professor Malfoy's world is contained, controlled, and as solitary as he can make it, but when an act of petty revenge goes horribly awry, he and his trusty six-legged friend are thrown into Hogwarts life at the deep end and must learn to live, love and let go.

Slip Into My Lover's Hands by lq_traintracks (lumosed_quill) {E, 6k}

Draco licks his lips. He shuts his eyes, because he doesn't think he can look at Potter when he says it. When he asks for it. "One finger?"

Hermione Granger's Hogwarts Crammer for Delinquents on the Run by waspabi {T, 93k}

'You're a wizard, Harry' is easier to hear from a half-giant when you're eleven, rather than from some kids on a tube platform when you're seventeen and late for work.

What We Pretend We Can't See by gyzym {M. 131k}

Seven years out from the war, Harry learns the hard truth of old history: it’s never quite as far behind you as you thought.

Ten Thousand Reasons Why Not by lq_traintracks (lumosed_quill) {E, 8k}

Harry and Draco are stand-ins for the usual witch who gives the workplace harassment and sexual consent talk to the Auror trainees. Or, a little tale in which Harry consents to be sexually harassed by Draco Malfoy.

Stop and Stare by Saras_Girl {M, 78k}

Harry’s life is full of care, he has no time to stop or stare; he has no time for anyone’s shit, until his friends aren’t having it. A story about the unravelly things.

The Full Monty by magpie_fngrl {M, 9k}

Harry poses for a naked Auror calendar and Draco goes batshit crazy with lust.

Away Childish Things by lettered {T, 153k}

Harry gets de-aged. Malfoy has to help him.

You See Through My Disguise by aibidil {T, 9k}

Bellatrix's knife flew across the room, but Harry leaped, pushing Dobby and Griphook to safety but stranding himself at Malfoy Manor. Now he and Draco are locked in the cellar with Wormtail's corpse and a rat, waiting for Voldemort to return and decide their fate.

Who we are in the shadows by Quicksilvermaid {E, 99k}

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?

(Un)wanted by aibidil {E, 36k}

Ginny's pregnant, then she's not and Harry's single. Harry, again with no family, doesn't know what to do with this turn of events, or how to find a new life—post-war, post-Ginny, post-abortion—in which he belongs. He doesn't expect that life to include dancing to the Backstreet Boys with Hermione and Draco Malfoy. A story of finding belonging in the unexpected.

Gryffindors Never Kiss and Tell by FeelsForBreakfast {E, 10k}

The gang realizes that everyone has kissed Harry except Draco. Draco proceeds to do a terrible job of pretending he doesn’t want to kiss him too.

Open For Repairs by FeelsForBreakfast {M, 35k}

After the war, Draco works at a tv repair shop and Harry breaks things.

feat. sad boys in jumpers and more ABBA than is probably necessary

In The Hand by aideomai {T, 28k}

Two months after Harry went missing, when Hermione was frantic with fear and panic and sleep deprivation, Draco Malfoy cornered them outside the Great Hall before breakfast.

All I Have to Do by fluxweed {E, 9k}

The Patented Daydream Charm (Adult Edition) allows you to enter a top-quality, highly realistic thirty-minute sexual fantasy. Solitude and privacy spells advised.

or: Draco finally has some alone time; Harry just needs to nip in for a book.

Far From The Tree by aideomai {E, 112k}

The arrival of Harry Potter’s children—snapped back in time, the children themselves guessed, twenty or so years—was the most interesting thing to happen at Hogwarts for years.

Way Down We Go by xiaq {T, 109k}

The war was over.

Or at least that’s what the papers said.

They’d been saying it, for months, as if people needed reminding.

Maybe they did.

***

In which Harry and Draco both run away from their pasts and conveniently choose to hide in the same tiny American town.

It's super.

Owl Was Well by fencer_x {T, 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.

Bolts by lq_traintracks (lumosed_quill) {E, 114k}

Harry joins the Hogwarts staff as the new History of Magic Professor, while Draco has already been teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts for the past year. When Samantha, a first year, is being bullied one day and throws a made-up Truth curse at her harasser, only to accidentally hit Harry instead, Harry becomes cursed to tell the truth, and not only that, he has to regularly tell it to Draco Malfoy. Samantha is clearly gifted, maybe the most powerful witch or wizard to ever come through Hogwarts, and yet she has no idea how to take the curse off. As they work to remove it—and also teach Samantha how to control a power that's becoming more dangerous by the day—will Harry's truths become too much to handle? And will whatever’s going on with Draco just make everything exponentially worse?

Chasing Shadows by manixzen {E, 93k}

The murder of Lucius Malfoy seems impossible—no cause of death, no traces of spell-work, no potions in his system. The only leads Harry and his partner have are the trail of missing wizards the deeper they go. That and the help of the victim’s estranged son who now spends his time bartending at a queer-friendly Muggle pub.

A case fic featuring a closeted Harry Potter, an out-and-proud, tattooed Draco Malfoy, and a murder mystery that seems to lead to more questions than answers.

Feather by shushu_yaoi_lj {E, 35k}

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?

Per my last letter (I hope you choke on it) by fluxweed, lastontheboat {T, 10k}

Dear Mr Potter, The answer is, and will remain, a no.

Sincerely, Draco Malfoy Accounts Manager, Phoenix Press

Or: the one where Harry has writer’s block and Malfoy isn’t helping.

Interpersonal Relationships Year 7, Unit 3: How to Have Sex Like a Responsible Adult by InnerLilith {E, 7k}

Harry came to Hogwarts to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. He did not come to Hogwarts to obsess over Draco Malfoy. He definitely did not come to Hogwarts to channel that obsession into…supervising Draco’s sex education class?

Whatever, Harry saved the world. He could handle sex ed. Right?

9 ½ Days by magpie_fngrl {E, 70k}

After the events at the Manor, Harry and Draco find themselves stranded in the countryside with a broken wand and Death Eaters on their tail. This is the story of an uneasy truce, featuring faerie forests, seaside caves, Romani camps, kind old ladies, and a shared bed in an attic.

Or how two boys fell in love in the midst of a bloody coup.

Heal Thyself by astolat {T, 49k}

"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”

“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.

“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

What’s Mine is Yours by fluxweed {E, 17k}

Harry loses something important. Malfoy helps him get it back.

Leo Inter Serpentes by Aeternum {E, 975k}

Just one conversation between two eleven year old boys goes slightly differently, and the world changes. Just how much will be different with Harry being sorted into Slytherin, and how much will stay the same?

Matched Set by astolat {E, 5k}

“No one asked you to look, did they?” Draco said, eyes glittering and intent on Harry’s face—like he’d just wiped off the years and turned back in time to when their greatest ambition in life had been to knock the other off his broom in front of the school and grab the Snitch first, before they’d both gone to war and come back with scars.

Harry & Draco by the incomparable @ivmaruva 🖤

I commissioned this piece with not a single note of direction beyond "Drarry" and this is what she created!!! 😍 The clutching and grasping between them in this piece absolutely sends me into orbit.

Tell me....what's the story behind it?

[slaaverin]

Yes, your worldbuilding is thorough, your geography meticulous, your plotting elaborate, and your characterisation nuanced, but answer me this: is there a fucked up little guy?

Idk if I will ever move on, drarry is my comfort blanket in any times

[slaaverin]

If Draco had lingered a moment more... he would have caught Potter looking back.

[slaaverin]

Seven years after the break-up.

[slaaverin]

I used to feel kind of embarrassed for liking Draco so much when he’s a jerk and a bully, but it’s occurred to me recently that the books are written from Harry’s point of view.

If I feel sympathetic towards Draco after the events of books 6 & 7, it’s because Harry presented him in a sympathetic light.

If I believe that Draco was under duress when he tortured a man, it’s because Harry told me he was forced to do it and he hated every second of it.

If I think Draco is attractive, it’s because Harry told me he is.

I’m just seeing Draco through Harry’s eyes.

[slaaverin]

do you like the movies at all? do you think they have any merit as works of their own in terms of world building?

Honestly, I haven't watched the movies in years, so I don't remember them all that well. From what I do remember, they mischaracterized basically everyone and had holes in the plot that only made sense if you read the books. The biggest travesty for me was Harry himself. I love him so much in the books, and the movies made him into wet cardboard. The Golden Trio of the movies was just, way less engaging and felt less like actual friends to me. Harry's personality was non-existent, Hermione was too perfect, and Ron lost all his cleverness and skills.

The sad thing is, I liked a lot of the cast, for some of the characters they literally couldn't find better actors. With a different director, they could've been so good, which is the biggest tragedy. I actually love the feel of the Wizarding World in the movies. Especially the first two.

The aesthetic, the design of Hogwarts, the fashion, and the character design for some (Hagrid and Snape for example) were brilliant. When they changed directors for the third movie, they just lost the whimsical magic the Wizarding World had in the first two.

And that's like my biggest issue with the movies. There were a lot of good things in them, like the costumes (first two movies mostly), the castle, the feeling of magic, the soundtrack, and the casting, but then the writing and directing didn't make use of all the great stuff there.
