Apple Ling's List: Dark!Fics

*Aching and angsty but such GOOD pain! ♥♥♥♥♥
Timeline spanning from middle of the war to directly post-war. Basically Harry and Ron got caught by Death Eaters and were thrown into a dingy dungeon cell in Malfoy Manor where they were tortured (sexual, physical and mental) for information. Draco is secretly on their side (sneaking healing potions and food to the prisoners). Featuring graphic descriptions of torture and rape, molestation, heavy usage of Dark curses, painful scarring and branding of the skin, Dark bondage spells meant to stretch, pull, hurt and burn the skin. Draco forced to sexually violate Harry (in case you find this part confusing --> *he fisted Harry*), unintentionally Harry did breached Draco's personal barriers and defenses too - in a way, violating Draco back, killing Voldie, hiding in a Safe House, helplessly smitten!pining!Draco who is deeply regretful of what he had done to Harry - part of Harry understands and wants to forgive but the other part of him can't get over the trauma (for Harry it wasn't about the pain or rape but he's traumatized over losing control to another), Draco trying to redeem himself after, unintentional Legilimency (the sharing of minds), wandless magic (Harry), H/D bonding moments, H/D hurt/comfort moments, adopting a stray kitty, sexy quietly assertive and dominant!Harry and a sub!Draco.
To note: Harry was sexually violated in a lot of ways but never with penile penetration, Ron's violation involve forced penile penetration. And while in the dungeon, Harry is made vulnerable to Draco but after, Draco is made very much vulnerable to Harry - both their enforced state of vulnerability deal with violation of their person but of different kinds. Strong!Harry and Ron, despite everything. Minor character death that is not Harry or Ron or Draco.
#Top!Harry/Bottom!Draco sexy sex scenes

Summary: A damaged-but-not-broken Harry in the clutches of Death Eaters and a caught-up-in-circumstances Draco who's not actually evil.

*Good, good angst! With happy ending!
Master!Harry, D.E Slave!Draco. Rather Dark-ish in some parts. Harry being an insensitive prat for about half the story but slowly he gets nicer and more understanding of Draco's plight. Draco half-starving himself to near death. Draco's nightmares and a myriad of other fear-induced and low self-worth issues cultivated in him from the War and the abusive treatment of Azkaban inmates. Plus, the injuries Draco suffers from... all kinds of abusive treatment. Draco shows severe signs of depression at the beginning. Draco + creepy boggart. Harry as a violent drunk... only at the beginning. Sexytimes started of as... orders from Master to Slave but slowly evolves to something a little more equal and consenting on both parties. Best friend!Blaise (to Draco). Minor character death. Lots of references to cruel and abusive treatment of D.E slaves. #Mostly bottom!Draco but one bottom!Harry scene towards the end.

Summary: Well, I think the prompt explains it quite well, but if I must: Draco did not quite expect Potter to be the one to buy him at the auction, he didn't really expect an auction to begin with, and he definitely did not expect Potter to be utilizing him in the way that he did. Draco swallowed discreetly as he watched the goings-on. The Dark Lord had lost the war. Potter and the Order of the Phoenix had won. Wizarding society was in shambles. Despite all that, the Ministry apparently had enough time, and audacity, to auction off the surviving Death Eaters; those deemed stable without a wand - to the angry, suffering, vindictive public in the name of war reparations.

♥♥♥♥♥ Prompt: After the War, the Ministry enforced a law that decreed the extermination of all Dark Creatures. In retaliation, the Creatures launched a war on Humans and the next thing the world knows, people are "Turning" into mutated versions of Dark Creatures left, right and center. Humans are now at the bottom of the food chain. The right order of things is further turned upside down when it is Human!Draco Malfoy who starts an underground resistance force fighting to prevent the extinction of mankind while Harry Potter disappeared. Until one day, Potter was sighted among a pack of werewolves as their leader and the Alpha Wolf.
*Draco has awesome control on wandless magic!! Brief OMC/Draco. Background Ron/Hermione. Feral little Teddy.

Summary: In his dreams Draco sees horrors and when he wakes, he remembers that each and every one of them is real. And when he wakes, he straps on his dragon-hide armour and goes out to stop what he can.

*Career Choices: Zombie-slayers (kind of). Warnings: off screen character death, zombies, rough sex, disturbing imaginary, creepy. Basically a very bleak post-war Wizarding England

Summary: The world was going to hell. Probably had already. Most of the people Harry had loved and called family were most likely dead or eating their way steadily through living tissue.

*TOO EPIC FOR WORDS ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!
Post-war Dystopian Universe. New Gen werewolf!Draco (who owns a Werewolf Nightclub). Auror!Harry. Unique lycanthropy concept, bigotry, wolf oppression, alcoholism, depression, prostitution, murders, suicide (not Harry or Draco), Abraxas Malfoy's portrait, conflicted!Ron, guilty!wolf rights activist!Hermione. #No sex

Summary: Voldemort has finally been killed but not before unleashing his final hell on the wizarding world: a highly contagious lycanthropy virus that spreads through skin on skin contact.

*EPICNESS TOO AWESOME TO PUT INTO WORDS ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!
Timeline from mid-war to a few years post-war. From Auror!Harry to Integration Officer!Harry plus Rentboy!Junkie!Draco
Broken-but-still-Canon!Draco with lots of issues (including but not limited to PTSD, rape trauma, acute fear of... too many things to name, drug use, prostitution, self-neglect, self-harm, depression, suicidal tendencies, unplanned fatherhood...) Hero!Harry for the most part (but in the end Draco was the one who saved him), baby Scorpius, werewolves, lost of magic because of a Dark Curse, dementors and general bleakness plus hurt/comfort and happy ending. #Switching but it's more bottom!Draco than bottom!Harry

Summary: Draco finds his own way to cope with being a failed Death Eater at Voldemort's headquarters. Voldemort finds a way to destroy the wizarding world even after his death. Harry is trying to hold the world together while his mind quietly comes apart.

Summary: For most people it's all about finding and punishing the guilty party and moving on. But what if we can't find it? What if the person we find out to be guilty had only the best intentions? How does one decide what makes the events of the past a failure or a success?

Summary: Albus wakes up in dark chamber, he doesn’t remember how he got there and what happened. It is for him and the rest of the people in that room to find out what happened and how to escape their inevitable seeming fate.

*EPIC AWESOMENESS!! DARK-ISH & PRETTY DISTURBING AT TIMES BUT ABSOLUTE LOVE!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!
Jason Bourne style!Harry and Draco. Past Harry/Ginny. Ex-Quidditch player!Draco. Dark themes and graphic violence. Trained to be an unfeeling!assassin!Harry. Draco and Luna as Admin. Sex in Arachne Den. Romani love-bond spell. Memory wipes/suppression. #Mostly bottom!Draco but with one (graphic) Top!Draco/Bottom!Harry scene.

Summary: After the Ministry of Magic decides that Harry's Auror position is a liability, they offer him an alternative: become part of an international covert operations initiative. Joining the project means Harry must forsake everything he cherishes and learn things he never wanted to know about himself.

*Very bittersweet ending... ouch! But I love it still! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Summary: Harry's eyes focused on the diseased faces below. He had given his life up for them once, and now it was all for nothing. Now they were all worse than dead.

*EPIC-NESS!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!! Loosely based on Constantine
Badass Unspeakable Agent slash Zombie Hunter!Harry (plus being Draco's bodyguard), Draco with a unique ability to See and Communicate with the Dead plus being the Key to opening Gateways. Evil!Demon!Lucius, Ghost!Narcissa, Underworld Ferryman!Snape. Special spell to burn Inferi to ashes and bubble wards. Possession of the body and mind and other badass horror-movie-worthy stuff.

Summary: Harry's fight against evil continues as he hunts the Inferi plaguing London. Malfoy comes to him for help, claiming to hear the voices of the dead. Their search for the truth leads them to purgatory, the world beyond the veil where they have to combine their strength in order to prevent an old and very familiar evil from rising once more.

*Auror!Harry. Ghosts and missing persons and murders and possession Loosely based on The Grudge

Summary: A mysterious kidnapping spree brings Auror Potter to sleepy, steamy Little Hangleton, where he confronts a horror whose history is more familiar than he knows.

*Painfully heart-wrenching but so very touching. Happy ending... at least as 'happy' as it could be while being just as bleak. Lone survivors of the war!Harry&Draco. Harry and his unique half-Dark Creature Animagus form.

Summary: On the battlefield, surrounded by the death toll of the war, Harry seems to be the only survivor.

*Creature!fic AU. Author's warnings: age difference (18/30), size!kink, dub-con, Alpha/Omega, heat cycle, knotting, bareback, fisting, very light D/s, double penetration, implied mpreg, jailbait flashback, underage sex flashback (14/16), crying during sex, dirty talk, too many gratuitous sex scenes (is this a warning?)

Summary: As the heir to a multi-million-dollar corporation, Draco is surprised that this is only the second time he's been kidnapped. If he thought the first time was terrible, he really has no idea.

*Spy for the Order!Draco. Milicent+Pansy+Draco = close friends. A Harry who smokes. Draco with an old Quidditch injury that makes him limp. Attempted rape. Patricide. Minor character death. Hiding in the snow.

Summary: "The death of one person is a tragedy. The deaths of thousands, a statistic." Sometimes a life you save might become your own.

*Prolonged use of the Imperius Curse

Summary: Everything is just a side effect of something bigger, isn't it? Compliant up to HBP.

*Auror!Harry. Dark-ish with bleak dystopian themes. Angsty but with a hopeful ending. You'll literary feel Draco's pain and then there's poor little William.

Summary: A decade after the war, wizarding Britain has learned how to cleanse its citizens of Dark magic. The process, Taming, erases violence, viciousness, hatred, and according to Draco Malfoy, a person's soul. In order to save his friends, Draco must prove that Taming might, in fact, be the cruelest magic ever conceived. The only problem is... he needs to convince Harry Potter first.

*BLOODY BRILLIANT ♥♥♥!! An alternative take on events directly after HBP. Death Eater!Draco turned Light Side. Graphic torture, rape, gore, Werewolf mauling, heavy bouts of Cruciatus (and its after-effects), forced mindfuck, spell to link mind and magic together with Legilimency, Horcrux destroying, camping in the woods, Blood magic, spell to disrupt Dark Mark Summons and nightmares. Slight handicap on Draco's left arm because of Dark Mark. A bit of Lupin bashing. Cute Ron/Hermione. Draco-worshipping!Kreacher. Overprotective!Narcissa. Cold!But-ultimately-i-love-my-son-more-than-my-Master!Lucius.
Courageous!Extremely protective!Draco-is-my-Everything!Harry. Terrified!Insecure!Self-sacrificing(for Harry)!Smitten!Draco.

Summary: Au DH. Harry is captured after setting off on his own to find the remaining Horcruxes, and is kept alive for Voldemort's own nefarious games. Draco Malfoy is assigned to look after him, and does so to protect his own self interest. Or does he?

*Healer!Harry, Death Eater turned Spy for the Light!Draco. Hurt!Luna. Hardened Auror!Ginny. Unspeakable!Hermione. A bit of Harry/Luna. The Malfoys as a family who truly care about each other unconditionally. Nightmares. Memory extraction resulting in memory loss and excessive use of pensieves. Modified (Enchanced version of) Patronus. Rising of the dead. Kidnapped, tortured and used as ransom. Imperius curse. Kissing in the battlefield. #Predominantly bottom!Draco with Harry bottoming once in the epilogue.

Summary: Twenty years after the Battle of Hogwarts there are still Death Eaters roaming free. But when Auror Ginny Weasley captures Draco Malfoy in a fight, the wheels of war are set back in motion. Dragged into the fray once again by the call of duty, Harry, Ron and Hermione must track down a lost artefact before the Death Eaters can do the unthinkable - bring Voldemort back from the grave.
