sometimes being a fanfic writer is ignoring research

[lostdrarryfics]

Hello! I'm looking for a Drarry fic but the details are a little fuzzy. I think it's a post-war fic and Harry is learning to be or is an Auror.

It starts with Draco as a speaker in a seminar about sex education. He really emphasized on consent, and Harry who was sitting in the seminar asked "How can consent be sexy?" or something along those lines. He didn't really respect Draco at the time bc of everything.

Draco showed how consent could be sexy by asking him things like "Can I do (insert something) to you?"

I don't remember what he asked or if it even was erotic in nature, but Harry was very turned on. They had sex after the seminar was over.

Hey do you have any Drarry fic recs which basically have Draco completely changing in 8th year/after the war, like he's dyed his hair and has tattoos and just has become more friendly and changed and Harry basically loses his mind? Kinda tired of the grovelling Draco or animosity fics atp.. Thanks :)

Hi anon! Omg yes, love me confused Harry losing his mind over a changed, hotter and confident Draco. This trope always delivers even when Draco doesn’t go through major physical changes (I love it when he gets extra though 🤌🏼). I have a few recs but they’re all post-Hogwarts, I hope they still work for you!

Enjoy the Silence by @shealwaysreads (M, 3.4k)

Draco stops speaking, gets some tattoos, and discovers that Harry’s happy to be quiet with him.

Under Your Skin by p1013 (E, 4k)

He initials another section and flips the page. Being a junior Auror is a lot more grunt work than he expected, and the paperwork isn't even the worst of it. He's also managed to catch intake duty. It's getting close to 2 AM, there hasn't been a single arrest brought in tonight, and he's still got another six hours before his shift is over. Rubbing a hand over his face, he prays for something, anything, to make the interminable evening better.

The Study of Change by p1013 (M, 4.3k)

Harry's going to hell. He's going to hell immediately. Even with all of the good he's done in his life, he's never going to overcome the impure thoughts racing through his head at the sight of Draco Malfoy looking like an academic wet dream in a room full of barely legal adults.

Starstruck by phrynne (E, 4.5k)

Yeah, Malfoy has pink hair. Or sort of. Half of his hair is shaved short and dyed an aggressive pink. The other half is still white-blond, a strand falling over his right eye, only the left side of his face visible at all times. He turns it slightly and spots me beyond the moving bodies. He doesn’t stop dancing, a smile plays on his lips. This time I don’t look away like I used to when all this began.

Sex on Legs in Six-Inch Heels by @tessacrowley (E, 9.6k)

Draco Malfoy is a brilliant freelance cursebreaker and the only one who can help the Department of Magical Law Enforcement with a very dangerous case, but more importantly, he's wearing six-inch heels, and Harry cannot handle it, he really just can't.

Dream by the Fire by GallifreyisBurning (M, 11k)

When Draco Malfoy resurfaces in England after eight years abroad—tattooed, pierced, and wanting to take over a corner of Harry's coffee shop to work on a writing project—Harry can't help but be intrigued. Where has he been? What is he working on? Why here? And why does he have to look so stupidly hot with all those tattoos?

Cold Like Fire by QueenofThyme (M, 12k)

Head Auror Harry Potter had no problem with mandatory consent training for his team. He’d actually been looking forward to it, that is, until he discovered who the teacher was. Now, he had no idea how he was going to get through the training without throwing a hex at Draco Malfoy. Or a punch.

In the Shape of Things to Come by @academicdisasterfic (E, 15k)

Existential angst and chronic boredom are plaguing Harry Potter in his cushy post-war life. However, a chance encounter with a tattooed, pierced, disgruntled Draco Malfoy in the middle of Muggle Camden seems to spark something in Harry again—and he never could stay away from Malfoy.

We Might Be Too Old for a Bildungsroman by @wellhalesbells (T, 21k)

Harry finds something he’s been looking for since the war’s end. Admittedly, the packaging’s a bit odder than he expected.

Ink (My Skin With Your Name) by Kandakicksass (M, 22k)

Several years after the war, an ostracized Draco Malfoy covers himself in tattoos, becomes best friends with a muggle, and debates abandoning magical society entirely to work in a tattoo shop. All in all, he's having a hell of a time trying to figure out who he is and what he wants to do with his life. The last thing he needs is to run into Harry Potter, who seems intent on becoming his friend, even if he has to get a lot of ink to do it.

All Bets Are Off by dualwieldteacup (M, 31k)

Harry Potter's latest security assignment brings him to Las Vegas for the International Wizarding Casino World Series. At a magic underwater hotel, he is tasked with guarding the legendary and mysterious gambler known as Snake Eyes. The stakes are high when both Galleons and emotions are involved. Not to mention peacock pool floats, secret pizza, and most importantly of all, second chances.

2023.08 ~ Top 10 longest fics posted on AO3

1. Good Intentions by Gloworm13 [E, 382k]

►Harry never expected a conversation over returning Draco's wand. [...] Harry can't cope, especially when his group of peers is sent back to Hogwarts to finish their interrupted Seventh Year. And Draco Malfoy is wholly unprepared for facing the love of his life every fucking day now that he knows.

2. About Everything We Fucked Up and Tried to Fix by @zoooooey0610 [E, 246k]

►The time is the Dark Middle Ages, even with Voldemort defeated, the Wizarding world is still a place where Omegas are seen as properties. Couldn’t sleep, Harry came across ‘The Slytherin Wall of Sluts’ that changed the rest of his life, but the cog wheel of destiny may have started to move long before that. Twelve years later, he was confronted with the presents of destiny, and struggled to deal with the mess. However, every step he took seemed to be another mistake.

3. Cut From the Sky by @mallstars [E, 150k]

►"I'm stuck in a time loop, reliving November 2nd. This is the 111th time I've lived through today." Draco stilled. His moody eyes, the tension in his hands where he gripped onto his umbrella, the careful mask of blankness flickering over his face — everything about him was so difficult and so very dear to Harry. "Ah," said Draco, "and?"

4. After the Rain Falls by @shinigami714 [E, 95k]

►After the events of the war, all Harry wants to do is forget. For everything to return to normal. But things never were normal for him, and the war left many marks on him not so easily forgotten. When he receives a surprising offer to return to Hogwarts in a continuing education program, Harry jumps at the chance, and despite his best efforts to deal with his problems alone, discovers along the way that quite often, two minds are greater than one.

5. guard dog by chrismare [?, 63k]

►The first thing Draco ever loved was the Manor. Not the house- it was too big, too quiet, too cold- but the grounds that surrounded it. He grew up on stinging soles, running barefoot through his own little world. One of the house elves had cleaned the tiny cuts on his feet once and told him that he'd get used to it, that he'd grow calluses and it would stop hurting. It never really did.

6. Dating Draco Malfoy by @queenofthyme [M, 60k]

►Draco Malfoy is dating his way through Harry Potter’s endless pool of ex-boyfriends. With the help of Harry’s expert dating advice, he just might find exactly who he’s looking for...

7. Snogging Lessons by Revolocard [T, 58k]

►Harry Potter thought the hardest part about being the Chosen One would be preparing to fight Voldemort. He didn't expect it might actually be missing out on all the normal teenaged stuff. Now in sixth year, Harry feels like an outsider, too worried about being the subject of another Witch Weekly article to try to take part. When he and Draco Malfoy land in a semester's worth of detention, Draco is delighted and horrified to discover the Boy Who Lived is not only a virgin, he doesn't even know how to snog. Secret snogging lessons. It's not like it's anything more than just catching Harry up a bit. What could go wrong?

8. That Marriage Contract by Umeko [E, 54k]

►What happens when the forced marriage and male pregnancy trope combine to spring a surprise on the Boy Who Lived and his arch-rival turned unwitting fiancé? And they all have two dearly departed grandfathers to thank for the mess.

9. Terrible People by @wolfpants [E, 52k] --- ART by @getawayfox

►What happens when Harry and Draco end up on the same Muggle gay cruise? They certainly didn't plan for it to happen (but their friends might have). They're stuck with each other for a week, they might as well make the most of it, right? Featuring a holiday-long game of Truth or Dare, a very ill-judged FWB proposition, decades-long pining, lots of gin, and a small pair of green swimming trunks.

10. and i ignite by @pixiedunhoff [M, 51k]

►Draco Malfoy loves attention - and the Muggle world has given it to him in spades. Through a surprising and humbling series of events, Draco has achieved tremendous success in the music industry. He has recouped his fortune, earned legions of adoring fans, and gets loads of attention. Over the years, it has still never been quite enough… Until the subject of his more sizzling songs abruptly barges back into his life, demanding answers.

Hurt/Comfort - Drarry fic recs

Pt. 2

Statues Crumble by milkandhoney, xanthippe74(13k)

Between one war and the next, Draco has lost his parents, his home, and his menial Ministry job. All he has left is the secret (and anonymous) work he does to help Harry Potter overthrow another government—oh, and that statue he stole from the Ministry Atrium.

Five Little Things by bixgirl1(6k)

Harry was supposed to be good at this.

Isolated Thunderstorms and Scattered Showers by triggerlil(21k)

Post-war, Harry needs space. Everything is too much all at once, and time and time again, he finds himself pulling the invisibility cloak over his head, just for a bit of peace.

Returning for eighth year is hard, especially when you're considered a war hero, and your name is Harry James Potter. It's just that things go a little wonky when Harry starts following Malfoy, and finds that he can't (or doesn't want to) stop.

Still by alexmeg(7k)

Dating Draco Malfoy, Harry thinks, will mean being at arms length outside of sex. No unnecessary physical contact or displays of affection. He wants him anyway, inexplicably. Perhaps that is exactly the kind of person he should be with, someone who will never need Harry to kiss him first, because Harry doesn't think he'll ever be that person.

A week of somewhat forced but not completely unpleasant dinner dates with Harry Potter. A story by Draco L Malfoy. by QueenofThyme(13k)

The only thing stopping Draco Malfoy from being forced into hospital is a condition from his doctor to have dinner with someone every night. And one night he's desperate enough to call Harry Potter. And Harry Potter says yes.

With You, Always by acupforslytherin(14k)

All his life, Harry repeatedly hears one same calming tune in his dreams. No one seems to recognize the mysterious song, until one day, Harry catches Malfoy humming it when he thinks he's alone.

Reigniting Harry Potter (A Task For Draco Malfoy) by QueenofThyme(4k)

Harry Potter is depressed and won't leave his house, or his bed if he can help it. Hermione has the bright idea to send Draco Malfoy over, who is surprisingly gentler than Harry realised, and might actually just be able to reignite a spark in Harry...if he stops being an arrogant prat of course.

Drop Everything Now by parkkate(21k)

After accidentally bonding himself to Malfoy, Harry finds himself in an utterly precarious situation...

Disjointed heart by lovestillaround(21k)

Draco tries to take control over his life whenever he can. He does whatever is best for him. He protects himself in ways his parents didn’t protect him. He tries to minimise the discomfort he feels by avoiding most people, by covering himself up, creating barriers and putting up walls.

Maybe he has lost himself in it all.

Maybe he never really knew who he was in the first place.

A Light for Another's Dark by p1013(19k)

Every touch leaves a memory. For Unspeakable Draco Malfoy, this is literal. When Harry Potter goes missing, Draco is asked to use his ability to Read the memories embedded in the objects he touches to help find Potter. While following his trail, Draco’s only certain of one thing: what he learns about Harry Potter affects Draco's life more than he wants to admit, and, more worryingly, not just his life, but his heart.

A Little Wild, A Little Damaged by FrenchMarshmallow(17k)

It should have been simple. Get a hair cut, attend Ron and Hermione's wedding, go back to self-imposed exile.

Of course, nothing was ever simple in Harry Potter's life.

Lilies by AwfulGoodness(2k)

Harry makes a discovery when the eight years view footage of the Yule Ball, all the way back in fourth year.

Lilies had always been his favourite flowers, after all.

The Chains of Memory by oldenuf2nb(14k)

Harry is growing sicker by the day and Draco wants to know why.

The Two Days That Changed His Life by TheMightyFlynn(11k)

Draco believes he is happy with his current arrangement with Harry. A conversation with Pansy and Harry being injured force him to re-evaluate that belief, however.

why I don’t understand those shows with ‘experts’

Sherlock: Your jumper shows sign of significant wear and tear meaning it must be your favourite and yet you didn’t wear it to the victim’s house last night. Why? You knew it was going to get messy from the start. It was cold premeditated murder.

Me: My aunt knit it for me and I don’t have the heart to tell her it’s the ugliest fucking jumper I’ve ever seen. I didn’t wear it last night because I was trying to impress a hot girl.

Sherlock: ...

AND

Miss Marple: If you walked straight home from work this afternoon, why do you have fresh mud on your shoes?

Me: Because-

Miss Marple: Because you didn’t go straight home. You took a shortcut through the graveyard to the victim’s house where you murdered him in cold blood before-

Me: Actually, I saw a puddle in someone’s garden and I couldn’t resist jumping in it.

Miss Marple: ...

ALSO SEE...

Mentalist: The number you’re thinking of is 32,684

Me: No, it’s 10,000.

Mentalist: You’re lying. I’ve been feeding you clues through your subconscious the entire time so you’d pick the number 32,684.

Me: Oh, yeah, I got distracted by something you said about bees earlier so instead of paying attention I’ve been constructing an elaborate daydream in my head about what kind of cliques would exist at an all-bee high school for the majority of your performance. Also I murdered the audience member next to me.

Mentalist: ...

[lostdrarryfics]

This fic was on AO3 and set in eighth year. I believe it was pretty short (probably under 15k words, although I'm not 100% sure) and it involved Sectumsempra scars. Draco would go to the potions storeroom in secret to heal them because they often reopened and Harry found out. Draco thought Harry reopened them as revenge but Harry explained that he didn't and would help Draco heal them. I remember the story ended with a flash forward to the future when they were married and Draco's wounds were described to be much better and reopen much less frequently

A potion or a spell can’t tell you what to feel, you have to actually feel it. You have to love without reason or hope or encouragement. When you love, you don’t expect anything in return, you love because you must, because you don’t know any other way.

Operation Dragon's Shenanigans by @nv-md (E, 14k)

Harry's in love with Draco, but it's complicated. Even more complicated than 'I'm in love with my ex-archnemesis and I get dizzy every time I see him smile'.

Yours Truly by @skeptiquewrites (M, 15k)

Every single one of Harry’s exes has gone on to marry the next person they date, and with the upcoming nuptials of numbers six and seven to each other, Harry’s feeling exhausted by it all.

The Liars Department by @dorthyanndrarry (T, 103k)

I hope you enjoy and I hope everyone else who likes the story goes over to @queenofthyme‘s ask box and messages her their fav thing about her!!! Mine is her respect for cats and also her face <3

Fic recs for January

I read a lot of damp squib fics in 2018 and the experience almost put me off reading in the Harry Potter fandom. And then! I spent the last two days of the year binge-reading Drarry and the love was back!

It's such a relief to enjoy reading fic again that I almost cried (and I actually did cry while reading Antlers and Ivy). So in an attempt to keep and share the love I've decided to do another rec list. These are just some of the fics I've read and loved during Janurary, enjoy!

Albus/Scorpius

Guess I'll Die by @aibidil

Albus’s life is as it has always been; he’s trying not to let on that he’s in love with his best friend while also having to dodge tickling spells hurled at his groin during duelling practice. But then he and Scorpius are hit with an illegal hex—they have to have sex, or the curse will deplete their magical life-force. It’ll be fine, Albus thinks. They will have sex and then pretend it never happened. No big deal. Right?

Draco/Harry

1,000 Points From Gryffindor by blithleybonny

The story of how Harry Potter single-handedly lost Gryffindor the House Cup while attempting to have a “normal” year at Hogwarts.

Antlers and Ivy by @violetclarity

The thing is, Draco has always known he wouldn’t be able to marry his soulmate. Finding out his soulmate is Harry Potter shouldn’t change anything.

Eighteen Kisses by tigersilver
