Apple Ling's List: Break-up + Divorce

*Established relationship (married, then divorced). Lots of tropical island induced UST-ing, a little bit of angst and drama, and lots of fluff!

Summary: Most people would think that seven days on a tropical island would be a week in paradise, unless they were stranded on the island with their ex-husband.

*8th year. Lonely!Bitter!Regretful-yet-still-prickly-and-defensive!Draco (and a little bit resentful for the way everything turned out for his family post-war), and a Harry who stalks/follows Draco all over the castle trying to help. "Vulnerable!Draco" tag is to make up for "Emotionally Damaged!Draco". Told mostly from Draco's pov. Sad!Pansy and Sad!Goyle. Featuring Draco being mean to others on purpose to make up for his "relapse" in showing vulnerability (which happens more often than not), Draco being bullied (a little bit) and shunned by other Slytherins, Draco crying or feeling on the verge of tears a lot, nightmares + insomnia + stealing potion ingredients to brew Dreamless Sleep, Harry trying to befriend a prickly!Draco, Draco writing letters to Ollivander but pretending to be someone else, H/D and some tricky bit of wandlore/magical wand bonding that has one of them experiencing the other's magic/dreams and H/D secret relationship, suicidal thoughts.
#Sex scenes all happen behind the screen so there's no way to tell who Tops/ Bottoms

Summary: There are things that Malfoys simply don't do. They don't cry, or show any emotion unless entirely unavoidable. They don't back down. And they certainly don't admit that maybe, just maybe, they might be wrong about a few things.

Draco's back for his eighth year, and with everything that's changed, these basic rules will soon be called into question.

*Basically Harry gets Draco pregnant in the middle of the war. Right before Harry goes Horcrux hunting, Draco pushes Harry away because of his insecurities and hides away in Hogwarts during his 7th year to protect his unborn child - he also joins the D.A. and befriends Luna, Neville and Ginny. Also, this contains some pregnancy angst as Draco battles his insecurities.

Summary: Set in sixth year, Harry goes to the hospital wing to apologise to Draco and ends up confessing his love. They both didn't know this could happen, Harry is stuck in the middle of the war and Draco has to figure out how to protect his family! Vague but hopeful ending.

*OH, GLORIOUS, SO GLORIOUS ANGST! EPIC!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Draco-centric. Philanthropist!Draco and he works part time in St Mungos. Past Harry/Draco relationship. Draco has intimacy issues (amongst others, like self-esteem issues). Harry left. Draco pines and goes into depression. A little bit of Harry/OMC and Draco/OMC as they both tries (and fails) to move on. Ron/Hermione as friends who genuinely cares for Draco. Pansy as Draco's close friend. Harry's enchanted Everlasting candle on their bedside. A shared magical journal between Harry and Draco. Draco seeing a muggle psychiatrist for the depression. Past attempted suicide. Draco working with children. Angsty flashbacks to the times Harry and Draco were still together. HAPPY DRARRY ENDING!!

Summary: They say that when a person loses one of their senses, the others heighten in an attempt to make up for the lack. I think he must have been one of mine. I notice such insignificant things now that I never had before. I can almost taste the sunrise, like vanilla and tangerines blended into one smooth, delicious, summertime kiss. I sit in the park across the street from home, watching the day begin. The sun peeks over the horizon in a futile attempt to catch a glimpse of the night sky that is now retreating in its presence, for no two things so entirely opposite could ever coexist in the same place at the same time...I wonder how that escaped our notice for so long.

*Hot, muscled!Quidditch player!Harry and gorgeous!svelte and model-like!physiotherapist!Draco.
Past Harry/Draco relationship (but still pining for each other). Harry's issues with coming out to the public about his sexuality. Harry having to take the first step to prove that he's serious about reconciling with Draco. Teary confession (that happened in a restaurant) by Draco on the real reason why he walked out of their relationship. Hot sexy back messages by physio!Draco. Cute little Teddy who calls Harry, "Daddy". A little bit of homophobic bashing. Supportive Ron/Hermione. #Lengthy graphic sex scenes are bottom!Draco. Heavily implied 'switching' though (bottom!Harry scenes are less graphic than bottom!Draco... all equally HOT, HOT HOT!!)

Summary: Harry's job is in the public eye but his closely guarded private life is not. When Draco is inducted as the Quidditch physio, will they be able to prevail as platonic and indifferent accqaintances or will Harry finally prove his worth?

*TOO EPIC FOR WORDS ♥♥♥♥♥♥ *flails*
Mostly Epilogue compliant but with a clever magical twist! Harry works for Hermione in the Blood Reparations Department. Draco is a lonely recluse at first. Later on, Draco helps Harry with his work. There are 2 main plots that weaves around each other in this fic:
Plot 1 - Draco is accused of murdering a muggleborn witch. Narcissa claims the life-debt Harry owes her and demands that Harry investigate the matter to prove Draco's innocence. Then, Pureblood supremacist groups and Muggleborn rights groups try to start a 3rd war. New evil mastermind called the Masked Lady.
Plot 2: Harry can't stop having sexy dreams of an alternate life he has with Draco. Harry and Draco both have sexy visions of themselves as lovers in mirrors. Some powerful magical force is trying to force them together despite the marriage vows made to their respective wives. Also, the same powerful force kept hurting Draco and making Harry save him. Plus, Draco is compelled to save Harry a couple of times too.
#Harry and Draco are both BAMF!Heros in this, although for the majority of the story Harry plays the Savior/Protector-role while Draco tries not to lean too heavily on Harry's strength and ability to save/protect/comfort him. Eventually Draco learns to save himself... and Harry. Ginny and Malfoy-wife bashing. Hermione's role is... divided between BAMF!Heroine and Cold Meddling Bitch (P.S. - I dislike Hermione a lot more than I dislike Ginny in this fic) throughout the story. Awesome!Narcissa. Life debts and marriage vows, the appearance of dragons and zombies, Draco's extreme claustrophobia, near drowning, near fatal overdose on a potion, a cuddly Scorpius who's almost always glued to Draco like a clingy cute koala, an equally cuddly kidlet!Albus Severus, Harry's Guardian Angel owl, a teensy bit of Harry/Draco/Ginny love triangle, metal-cased dead Malfoy ancestors, violence and torture. Also, cute Scorpius + Albus Severus kiddie friendship (all the children are tiny kidlets in this piece) *coos* Happy Harry/Draco ending.

Summary: Harry is too busy ten years after the war to help out just one family, but that's exactly what he has to do. And as he hunts their enemy, magic no one understands is hunting him.

*SO AMAZING I'M ALL TEARY-EYED BECAUSE THIS IS... GAAH, SO AWESOME I CAN'T FIND WORDS WORTHY ENOUGH TO DESCRIBE ITS AWESOMENESS!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror!Harry (with Auror partner!Ron) and a rebellious!Draco who has suddenly decide he needs to face all his fears before it's too late (he has a list of things he wants to do and he asks Harry to help him). Harry is reckless, more than usual, in this story and Ron (and everyone else who knows Harry) thinks Harry has a serious death wish, which to be honest isn't that far from the truth. Frightened!Quirky!Earnest!Draco with his fears, insecurities and desperation to face all of them, actually grounds Harry and stops him from doing crazy reckless things that could get him killed. Draco with his weird theories of muggles (especially muggle women LOL!) and his hilarious visit to the Dursleys (with a magical potted plan that gives you rabbit ears!!). Flying on a hippogriff, facing werewolves (Draco's boggart is a werewolf), bonding moments and hilarious chats with Harry. Sexytimes (Draco bruises way too easily), Harry's tattoos and angst and the discussion of feelings and Harry and Draco bonds for real and then happy, happy ending!
#Heavily implied switching, graphic and detailed penetrative sex scene is bottom!Draco. In other scenes, Harry was the one on the receiving end of a lovely rim-job and fingering.... unfortunately, nothing more than that. Regardless of Top/Bottom, every sex scene is sinfully delicious!!

Summary: "There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance." -- John Lennon

*Auror!Harry, Draco is the assistant secretary to the assistant secretary to the secretary of the person in charge of Broom Regulatory Control in the Ministry. Harry acknowledges and befriends Draco in public (in front of Draco's boss and other Ministry workers) so that Draco doesn't get bullied and/or shunned by others. H/D secret relationship. Draco is torn between fulfilling his familial duties by getting married and producing an heir... and choosing Harry. Lucius/Narcissa as parents who genuinely care for Draco's happiness over anything else. Hot H/D office desk sex!!!

Summary: Harry and Draco have begun a fling with each other. Harry's feeling a little more serious about it and wants the world to know. Draco's horrified at the prospect, and anyway, his father's been pushing him to marry and provide a Malfoy heir. This can't end well.

*AWESOME LIKE WHOA!! EPIC!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror!Harry with PTSD, Trainee Healer!Draco. Established Harry/Gin but with Harry/Draco too (infidelity on Harry's part). Sort of like a Draco/Harry/Ginny love triangle (Harry cares for Draco but refuses to leave Ginny). Harry has a problem controlling his magic and tends to have sudden wild magic explosive incidents - only Draco is capable of calming him down (usually through sex - bottom!Draco). Draco's group of friends: Lavender Brown (she's AWESOME!!!), Neville, Theo Nott and Seamus Finnigan - hanging out at The Brewery (testing muffins :D). Harry/Draco secret relationship. People being not nice to Draco because of his name and D.E ties. Angst. Pining!Insecure!Draco. Confused!Harry. Hot sex scenes (OMG the office hidden-below-the-desk blowjob!). Loads of UST. Harry being an insensitive meanie for half the fic but he has his issues and I feel sorry for him at times. Happy H/D ending.
#Bottom!Draco for the most part and only 1 Top!Draco scene towards the end and omg they're all so sexy!! *drools*

Summary: Potter needs control; Draco needs forgiveness. They shag; Lavender gives advice; they yell; Seamus makes muffins; they fight; and everyone else drinks far too much coffee for their own wellbeing.

*GAHH!! DELICIOUS FLANGSTY CHRISTMAS FIC ♥♥♥♥♥
Basically Harry and Draco were an item until Draco breaks it off to fulfill family obligations (Lucius' fault!) and gets engaged to Astoria. Harry wants him back and they both are still very much in love with each other. Supportive!Ron/Hermione. Cute side pairing Pansy/OMC, Pansy is Draco's best friend. Cameo appearances by little Teddy and other adorable children in the epilogue (not the Potter books' Epilogue though but the epilogue of this story)... plus, (cute!)drunk!Narcissa. Happy H/D ending.

Summary: "Dear Father Christmas, It's strange that I have more cause to believe in you now that I'm in my mid-twenties than I did when I was a child. I didn't think magic existed then either, but now I know that it does. I wonder if it's the same with you There's nothing that I want for Christmas that could be wrapped in a box and put under a tree. But if you are as magical as they say you are, there is one thing I want that could only be accomplished by a true Christmas miracle.I want Draco Malfoy back."

*ZOMG STEAMPUNK DRARRY!!! *SQUEE* ♥♥♥♥♥
Post-Hogwarts AU/AR-ish. Veela!Genius!Draco. Starts with H/D in a magical university as students, roommates, best friends and ex-lovers (then gradually becoming more as lovers as the story progresses). Time-travel back to ages ago - steampunk feel. Lots of cute H/D banter, snarkery, humour and the boys being all touchy-feely with each other... but as slightly-more-than-friends-but-not-lovers. Rooming together. Getting drunk together. Working for Clockmaker!Snape together in what appears to be Snape's (clock) shop: Draco as Snape's apprentice of sorts and helps with making watches while Snape makes Harry do all sorts of house-elf-ish jobs. Smart!Cunning!Manipulative!Draco who is the (super pretty) hero in this story, and this time Harry's mostly the 'sidekick' slash overprotective ex-boyfriend. Cool steampunk/time travel inspired creatures: Hounds of Tindalos. Special time-travelling pocket watches. References to Draco being vulnerable only to Harry because he is in love with Harry (plus being a Veela and all that). Oh, and Harry's cat. #No penetrative sex (but there are lots of kissy moments and groping sessions :D)

Summary: When an antique pocketwatch sends Harry and Draco back in time, they must work together if they've any hope of returning home.

*EPICNESS!!! DELICIOUS ANGST BUT WITH HAPPY ENDING ♥♥♥♥♥
Head Auror!Harry. Lawyer!Draco. Basically James Sirius Potter found himself stuck in a spot of trouble and Lawyer!Draco represents him in court (Wizengamot trial). Past Harry/Draco relationship but they broke off due to the pressure of circumstances beyond their control (and they kept pining for each other for the better part of the story). Harry's dicey relationship with Albus Severus. Lawyer!Draco and his awesomeness in court!! Supportive!Ginny, Ron and Hermione. #No penetrative sex

Summary: Draco's photograph took up the entire top half of the Prophet's front page. Below the photo: DRACO MALFOY DEFENDS SON OF FORMER LOVER. As if that were breaking news.

*Prompt: Harry comes home from abroad to find his ex-lover forced into the sex industry by an abusive boyfriend.
Contains some Draco/Alexander (the abusive bastard!) and Draco/OMCs (dub-con? because Draco didn't want to be whored out like that). Supportive!Ginny. Heavy references to domestic abuse (victim!Draco). A bit of twist to the usual domestic abuse cliche wherein, instead of outright saving Draco from the abusive freak, Harry encourages Draco to save himself - and I like this twist muchly!!

Summary: Harry knows his feelings are unrequited. Draco knows he's doing them both a favour by pretending they are. Harry didn't know coming back to face those feelings would be so hard. Draco didn't know he would be given a second chance, if only he could find it in himself to take it.

*Flangsty and poignant! Past H/D relationship in which H made a mistake (a colossal mistake, if you ask me) and they break-up. So H married Ginny (and had kiddies) and tried to move on from D but he never did. Years later, he meets D again. In a pub. While trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol. D was with someone else though, a handsome stranger. Naturally, H gets irrationally jealous and maudlin. Happy H/D ending.

Summary: Only months after the end of his marriage, Harry runs into someone that he never expected to see again and is flooded by memories, jealousy and a desperate need to fix his mistakes.

*Lots of drama, drama, angsty drama. Basically H and D were attacked, they lost their memories, fell in love, engaged in sexytimes! Then, they have their memories returned to them and they angst over 'Oh god, what had they done?!' and the impossibility of them ever being together in a world that's divided between Good Guys and Death Eaters. Infidelity because Harry was dating Ginny when there were Drarry sexytimes. Lots of argument about what's 'normal' and 'right' for Harry in a post-war world and what's not (mostly between Ron, Hermione and later, Ginny) which frankly, was annoying because it kind of sounded as if Harry being gay equals the end of the world. Self-sacrificing Draco. Sad!Lonely!Pining!Draco while at times, Harry was a rather selfish prat (especially with his callousness for Draco's feelings) but he had his reasons (emo!Harry). Happy ending for H/D though. #No graphic sex (they happen behind the scenes)

Summary: Two young men wake up in an abandoned alleyway with no memory of who they are or what they're doing there. As they attempt to discover their identities, they set off a chain of events that have repercussions far beyond their control.

*Lawyer!Draco, Auror!Harry. Contains heavy Ginny bashing. Supportive Ron/Hermione and the Weasleys (minus Ginny) of Harry's relationship with Draco. Supportive Lucius/Narcissa. Brief mention of Harry's sexuality crisis before finally accepting it. Passing mention of past Blaise/Draco. Crossdressing!Draco and sex with knickers on (Draco) at one point. Surrogacy and a baby. #99% bottom!Draco with one bottom!Harry scene right at the end.

Summary: Ginny stands Harry up at the altar, leaving him miserable and confused. Enter one Draco Malfoy, solicitor, who manages to muddy the situation even more when he and Harry get marooned on an island.

*Career Choices: Draco is a veterinarian and Harry is a pet photographer.
Cute puppies and kitties and cute (muggle) veterinarian doctors. A vain Draco who apparently happens to be the best dressed doctor ever, who was hurt badly by his past relationship with Harry and yet still pines. Cute muggle OC (Draco's best friend). Brief Draco/Harry/OMC love triangle. #Bottom!Draco but with some talk about Harry possibly bottoming for an OMC.

Summary: Draco needs to find a job, any job, to avoid joining his father in Azkaban. As a last resort, he works at a Muggle veterinary clinic.

*8th year, swot!Draco, jealous!Draco, past H/D relationship, humour, some snogging and frotting and a little bit of Harry/Anthony Goldstein. Cuteness, jealousy, Draco with fizzy hair and making out in a broom cupboard :D ♥♥♥ #No penetrative sex

Summary: Draco is not jealous of Anthony Goldstein. He no longer has any interest in Potter or what the idiot does in his spare time. Their relationship is over-but if Goldstein so much as breathes on Potter again, he might have to kill him.

*ANGSTY BUT SO VERY TOUCHING *LOVES* ♥♥♥♥♥
Ghostbuster (Wizarding style)!Draco and an independently rich!Harry. Contains a lonely Draco, struggling with depression (and more often than not, suicidal thoughts even) and even symptoms of overused Polyjuice. Harry makes it better with his subtle flirting and dinner dates with Draco. Also contains heavy post-war anti-Malfoy sentiments and the Ministry (with the exception of Hermione) being total bastards to poor Draco. Lovely OC: Draco's therapist. #Contains switching but it's just ONE bottom!Harry scene.

Summary: Draco's world is filled with ghosts, and not all of them are so easily banished.

*SO SWEET!!
H/D past relationship, basically Harry fucked up and broke off the relationship... but now he wants Draco back. Also, Harry'd lost bits and pieces of his memories with Draco.

Summary: At a big Christmas party, Harry runs into the one person he thinks he wants to forget.
