Apple Ling's List: Correspondence!Fic

*Canon-compliant for the most part. Basically, Draco writes (love) letters to Harry throughout his Hogwarts days - secretly pining for Harry while pretending to be the school bully for the most part - Harry gets these letters after the war :)
#Pre-slash for the most part so no, sexytimes :)

Summary: After the events of HPB, Harry begins receiving curious letters from Draco Malfoy.

*THIS DESERVES ALL THE LOVE!! :DD ♥♥♥♥♥
H/D = working in the ministry. Harry being a stubborn prat, Draco also a prat (but slightly less prat-ish compared to Harry). Draco writes letters of apologies to Harry, seeks redemption and forgiveness from others he has hurt in the past, works for Bill and generally tries to be 'good'. Harry on the other hand, lets his temper flies at the mere sight or mention of Draco... and generally has anger management issues. Protective!Bill (of Draco). Sad!Drunk!Draco at one point. Draco and his fear of fire. Angst, hurt/comfort, happy ending.

Summary: Harry doesn't want to hear anything Draco Malfoy has to say, but ignoring him and all the letters he sends probably isn't the best idea he's ever had, all things considered.

*This is so cute and funny and yet so sad. Still, I love every single word of Draco's will - especially the last part, dedicated to Harry ♥♥♥♥♥. For a fic containing major character death, it's rather fluffy and cute. #This is Draco's Will - of course there aren't any sex scenes.
MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH!!

Summary: I, DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament.

*Directly post-war. Rebuilding Hogwarts. H/D rooming together (along with Narcissa Malfoy). Nightmares, panic attacks, trauma (Draco). Draco+Ron friendship as as well as Draco+Luna. Cute canon!Luna. H/D snarking, witty bantering, arguing, USTing, fighting and kissing. Draco taking care and singing lullabies to Teddy. #No sex

Summary: After the war, Draco Malfoy has bad dreams, good dreams and a whole lot of people he has to play nice with. Also, there is a kiss with Potter. Draco/Harry, post-war, Teddy Lupin, not much romance, but fluff and letters. yea.

*ADORABLE FLUFF! PLUS CUDDLY WOLVES! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!
Hermit!Harry and lonely!recluse!Draco. Cute side pairing: Snape/Lupin. Scorpius' very cute letters to Harry on behalf of Draco. Harry throwing a party as an excuse to invite Draco as his date. Cute H/D letters exchanged back and forth. Draco's past abuse at Greyback's hands. Harry reading bedtime stories to Draco. Fluffy silver wolf with doggy plush toys to play with.

Summary: Harry is miserable and living like a recluse in Grimmauld Place and Draco retired from wizarding society after his divorce. One day a misdirected owl from Scorpius Malfoy finds itself in Harry's hands. Harry hasn't lost his desire to save people, but Draco has a secret and it is one he isn't willing to share.

*LOVE IT! ROMANTIC AND TOUCHING! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!
Auror!Harry and Curse-breaker!Draco. Beautifully crafted chime boxes that Draco kept leaving behind and Harry kept picking them up to return to him. Harry and Draco exchanging letters. Draco's cuddly female owl named Bob who likes cuddling up to Harry. Sick!Hermione. Wasting disease (that's a mystery in on itself on how Hermione got it). Cursed necklaces (Draco to the rescue). Pining and sweet fluff.

Summary: Real life has managed to get the better of Harry and his friends, but Harry still finds time to get wrapped up in fantasy and lose a little bit of his heart to another man. Again.

Top favourite courting fic at the moment precisely because it isn't your typical Drarry courting fic. They fight and bite, chase and hunt, challenge and push, to try to dominate and subdue the other, as is the essence of 'courting' to Harry and Draco. And the letters!! *SWOON* ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!
#Auror!Harry, Philanthropist-cum-Pureblood-rights/heritage-Debater/Political-figure!Draco. Usage of sympathetic magic (an object touched by a person or contain biological parts of a person) to track a person down. Implied switching during sex.

Summary: Harry is in love with Draco. Draco won't look at him twice. But even though Harry can't have him, Draco still needs someone who makes him happy. And Harry has an obvious solution: write Draco letters whilst pretending those letters are from Astoria Greengrass, so that Draco will fall in love with Astoria, who adores him. It's so brilliant it just has to work!
