Apple Ling's List: Genre:Action/Adventure

*Utterly adorable ♥♥♥♥♥ :p
Very cute fic told from clueless!canon!Ron's (Auror!Ron) pov. Field Auror!Harry. Draco is an adorably quirky (and snarky) researcher in the (very messy) Analytical Lab in the DMLE. Featuring a newly married!Ron/Hermione, the magically cluttered and messy environment of the Analytical Lab, Draco using a brightly multi-coloured filing system with a an assortment of cutesy clips/hairpins as paper clips, Draco being a bit of a pariah in the Ministry before Ron took to befriending him, cute Ron/Draco friendship (thought it look distinctly endearing as a big brother+little brother relationship with Ron as the big brother and Draco the petulant and whiny little brother - Ron flicks Draco on the forehead :p), Ron unintentionally matchmaking Harry and Draco together, cute Harry/Draco moments with Ron being oblivious to the nature of their relationship, being kidnapped and then escaping from their captors, awesome magical theories/details, being handcuffed together #No sex scenes
Smooch Fest link: http://hd-smoochfest.livejournal.com/111217.html

Summary: When Hermione rushes off to the Amazon, Ron is left to handle their brooding third wheel but he's never been especially good with emotional problems. Somehow, he drags Malfoy into the mix and the stupid Ferret steals the show.

*War!fic. Harry and Draco on the run together (on the streets, somewhere in muggle New York and having to skimp on things because they don't have a lot of money), searching for a special gem stone called the Black Star which is a Horcrux. They argue and fight a lot (being broader and stronger, Harry almost always wins the fights... once, Harry beats up Draco pretty bad)... and lust after each other. Featuring pervert!Snape who squashes Draco in sleep, molests him and at one point contemplated suffocating Draco (>.< Do. Not. Like. This version of Snape), Mostly clueless!petulant!foul-tempered damsel-in-distress!Draco (he's also very jumpy and tends to cling to Harry when startled or scared), frustrated!Harry with anger and sexuality issues (frustrated that Draco's with him and that he's attracted to Draco... but can't help crushing his lips to Draco's anyways). Draco crossdressed at one point at Snape's insistence. Harry/Draco sharing a bed, holding hands in public (dragging the other everywhere), having coffee and pastries together, going clubbing, buying a ring, kissing, UST-ing and sexytimes. Also, minor character death (not H/D) and Draco making Ginny jealous (and she cries).

Summary: Draco must find something for the Dark Lord.

*AU-ish War!fic. Harry is some sort of a badass government agent, basically the Head of the War Office and Special Consultant to the Minister of Magic. Draco is a Death Eater turned Spy for the Ministry (Redeemed!Draco). Harry's also charged with bodyguard!duty concerning Draco but is given license/permission to kill Draco should he prove to be untrustworthy or if Draco succumbs to Voldie's Summons
#Featuring flashbacks to their Hogwarts days in between scenes, H/D fighting an awful lot (trust issues), D owning H a life debt, H/D forced proximity (on the run from Voldie together), a D.E attack on Hogwarts (in which there is a scene that tortures then kills Lucius), Voldie Summoning (torturing) D through the Dark Mark, ritual to remove the Dark Mark from D (involving some intimate body painting :p), H/D accidental bonding and telepathy, killing Voldie, past Harry/Weasley twin, stubborn!H who's deeply in denial about his feelings for D #Implied switching but it didn't happen because... no sex scenes (such a pity)

Summary: There's only so much death a man can stand.

*GAAH!! SO AWESOME!! *loves* ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Part 3 (Final part) of The Intellectual Love Affair series (it's a trilogy). Master Brewer!Draco (BAMF!Potions expert). Harry/Draco as official business partners (and lovers). This fic is the aftermath of Draco's rescue by Harry and Hermione from his abuser, plus the continuation of evil politicians' (Charlemagne Diggory) attempts in destroying Harry/Draco, their reputation and potions business. BAMF!Hermione and BAMF!Milicent (Hermione/Milicent scheming together is beyond awesome!). Draco is both strong and vulnerable in this piece (abuse trauma, nightmares and still recuperating from his injuries... and yet still a BAMF!Hero). Evil!Lucius and Narcissa who are hell-bent on helping baddies destroy Harry and separate Draco from Harry. Harry+Draco+Hermione+Milicent working together against baddies. Also, Harry gets thrown in jail - Draco, Hermione and Milicent work together to prove Harry's innocence. Awesome court trial scene! #Mostly bottom!Draco but with subtly implied future 'switching'

Summary: Harry and Draco are finally, slowly, coming together, but the aftermath of Draco's freedom is nightmares, legal challenges, and dangerous political pressure in the form of Charlemagne Diggory.

*GAAH!! SO AWESOME!! *loves* ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Part 2 of The Intellectual Love Affair series (it's a trilogy). Master Brewer!Draco (BAMF!Potions expert). Not-so-recluse!Harry because he's officially helping with Draco's apothecary business (Harry/Draco as business partners and close friends). Harry/Draco pre-slash turning into slash (Harry starts to actively pursue Draco) and bits of Draco/Daphne Greengrass (a bit of Harry/Ginny friendship). Evil baddies are still after Harry and Draco - this time, they're determined to destroy everything accomplished by Draco and hurt Harry (by hurting Draco because Harry cares for Draco). Violence, torture, dark curses, illegal use of memory charms and Legilimency (used as a torture device) and sexual abuse (Draco) - and the resulting injuries. Potions shop talk, political stuff, powerful wandless magic (Harry), Harry's fear of his own magic, Draco's selective amnesia (memory charms), kidnapping (and the awesome rescue plan), dueling, graphic torture & sexual abuse scenes.

Summary: Draco and Harry start marketing the Desire potion, only to encounter opposition from Draco's debtors, manipulative Slytherin women, and politicians running for Minister.

*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.

*Cute, sexy fluff! Aurors!Harry and Draco. Draco is also a Spy for the Ministry (to keep an eye on the stupid!Death Eaters that are in hiding). Basically, there is a new Death Eater on the block and he's charismatic and smart... and he wants Harry dead. Draco tries his best to keep Harry alive, while Harry refuse to stop flirting with Draco. Harry's excessive flirting and Gilderoy Lockhart-like obnoxious behavior makes Draco think Harry isn't serious about liking Draco so Draco shies away from Harry's numerous attempts at wooing Draco. Draco ended up saving Harry several (Draco is Harry's sort-of-bodyguard) times and becoming a hero! CUTE HARRY-COURTS-DRACO!FIC #No sex scenes (yet)

Summary: Draco just wants to do his job and keep the newly competent Death Eaters from assassinating Potter. Potter just wants to flirt with him. It is not much fun to be Draco Malfoy right now.

*OMG SO AWESOME!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Epilogue compliant. Senior Aurors!Harry and Draco as partners. A dangerous serial killer slash evil mastermind hell-bent on world domination is on the loose killing lots of people, breaking into foreign ministries and killing more people and trying to destroy the wards that protect the Wizarding world from the muggle one. Harry and Draco forced to stay together in an apartment for the duration of their investigation while away from England. Awesome magical details of spells and curses, wards and magical theories, potions and magical rituals. Potions expert!Draco who is also awesome at understanding complicated magical theories. Harry finds himself falling for Draco because he admires the way Draco works and his intelligence. Consulting Snape together (Snape gave Harry the fatherly version of "Hurt Draco and you will pay" speech) At one point Harry gets kidnapped and injured... but Draco saves him. Violence, torture and lost of magic.... and the resulting injuries. And then both try to save the world. Happy ending!
#No penetrative sex

Summary: A series of magical murders threatens the future of Wizarding Britain, and the Ministry puts its top two Aurors on the case. Harry's less than thrilled at the discovery that his new partner is none other than Draco Malfoy, but when the alternative is sitting back and letting his country be destroyed, he doesn't have much of a choice.

*Aurors!Harry and Draco (co-workers and both stuck with night shift duty at the DMLE). Also, Vampire!Harry. Draco-centric fic. Murder mystery case with corpses drained of blood. Draco has a habit of annoying his boss (night shift boss of the Auror dept) by submitting ridiculous expense reports to demand compensation for the silliest things ever. Plus, Draco refuses to wear his Auror uniform. Harry and Draco work together to solve the murder case in secret. At one point, Draco gets caught by the baddie and Harry comes to the rescue :D

Summary: Draco is stuck in career purgatory on the night shift in the Auror Department. The powers that be won't let him near any important cases, but he knows he can prove himself and get promoted if he can just crack a big case. When Harry Potter shows up after getting himself banished to the night shift as well, how will he affect Draco's plans?

*COOL AUROR!FIC d(^^,)b ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror partners!Harry and Draco (plus, Auror partners!Ron and Daphne Greengrass). BAMF!Auror Malfoy yay!! Senior officer!Cho Chang who is supposed to break in Aurors!Harry and Draco. Patrolling Knockturn Alley while also on another secret mission from Minister Shacklebolt (as part of a special but secret team that responds only to the Minister and Head Auror). Interesting Knockturn Alley characters: Magenta (works in a brothel). Death Eaters, Obliviators gone rogue, abuse of the Obliviate spell, sighting of the Morsmordre in a muggle town, underage muggleborn witches/wizards, etc etc. Draco going undercover as a prostitute and friend of Smoke (another male prostitute) in a Knockturn Alley brothel. Everywhere Harry and Draco went, everybody seemed to think they're 'together' and sometimes Draco plays along with it :D

Summary: Responsibility weighs heavily on Draco Malfoy's shoulders as he completes his Auror training. He plans to redeem his family name, do his sworn duty, and create a new life for himself. It doesn't help, however, that his new partner is the one man who could be his undoing: Harry Potter.

*CUTENESS!!
Auror!Harry, Head of Magical Creatures Dept!Draco. Funny Twilight references. Attempted Draco/Oliver Wood. Past Harry/(super rich!)Justin Finch-Fletchley.. Going camping rich-muggle style with Justin and his friends. Justin's friends think Harry/Draco are together and they let them believe their 'pretend' relationship. Harry/Draco rooming together. Cute centaur foals (a bubbly little girl-centaur, an older rather petulant boy-centaur and another boy-centaur). Harry/Draco riding horses - Draco made the horses fly :D References to flying bunnies :D
#Mostly pre-slash and some cute fluffy moments towards the end but no sex scenes (yet). Too bad.

Summary: Harry has promised that he will not do anything to upset the new head of Magical Creatures. Even if it is Draco Malfoy. When three centaur foals appear in Cumbria, far from the Forbidden Forest and all too close to Muggles, Harry's promise is thoroughly tested. To say nothing of his equestrian skills.

*GAH!! SO CUTE AND FUNNY!!!
Auror!Harry (very Sherlock Holmes-esque!), Draco is a Muggle-Liaison Officer of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes (and also Harry unofficial partner for a particular murder investigation featuring a "ninja" in a feathered costume). Freak accidents cum murder case featuring modified WW.Wheezes products as the murder weapons. Potions expert!Draco. Draco also tends to wear extremely weird clothes when interviewing muggles or investigating a case. Goyle as Harry and Draco's friend slash housekeeper slash caregiver. Lots of cute snarkery, humour, H/D bonding moments, interesting investigation clues and a lovely twist at the end :D

Summary: He had been on medical leave for a month and was bored out of his mind. All he wanted was to go grocery shopping. And then he just happened upon a Muggle horrifically killed by a Wheeze, a ninja who might be a showgirl, and Malfoy looking like a fashion disaster (but it turned out there was a good explanation for that). As far as Harry was concerned, it hadn't ever been his fault to begin with.

*SO SOOOO GOOD I AM REDUCED TO GAPING IN AWE... CAN'T FORM COHERENT THOUGHTS NOW, TOO BUSY FLAILING ♥♥♥
Auror!Harry (with severe migraines) who is also the King of the Emerald Court. Wizarding specialist in chronic pain management!Draco (also a Veela) and is the Peacock Paladin (super sexy peacock-inspired costume with lots of pretty feathers). Creative descriptions of a dream-like slash fairytale-esque mental-scape (it's a bit like a dreamscape but without dreaming) where Harry battles a "creature" in his head... and Draco helps (and protects Harry when he can). Draco is severely injured at one point and Harry saves him. Drarry sexytimes in this mental-scape universe.

Summary: Harry suffers from chronic headaches, and it affects his work and relationships. New pain-management techniques (and their provider) may just be the relief his life needs.

*Sort of... a sci-fi slash murder mystery genre (Think X-Files crossover with Fringe). Auror!Harry and Healer!Draco. Past Harry/Ginny. Harry is a lonely workaholic who's at odds with Ron/Hermione and his usual gang of friends. Draco... also a lonely workaholic, but with a gift for sensing/seeing and manipulating magical aura. Friends to lovers H/D (Harry courts Draco). Murder case with both magical and non-magic (muggle) ties plus icky corpses. Harry falls sick later (his magic fails) and Draco nurses him. Kidnappings, some violence and torture, Harry saves Draco and then Draco saves him back... everybody's a hero by the end of the story. #No penetrative sex

Summary: Harry has seen some strange cases being an Auror, but none stranger than his latest one. It only gets more complicated when his magic begins to fail and he gets involved with Healer Malfoy.

*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.

*MADE OF AWESOMENESS ♥♥♥♥♥!!!
Dark wizard!Magical theorist!Potions supplier among other things!Draco (who is also a mentor to Harry in ways of the Dark Arts). Auror!Reluctant Dark wizard!Parselmouth!Harry (who gradually transforms into a half-snake-half-wizard person, and a mightily powerful one at that too). Dark witch!Pansy (also Draco's best friend). Harry is obviously the more powerful of the two but Draco's knowledge in all things Dark Arts more than made up for it.
Lots of detailed magical theories and explanations about how magic works, particularly the Dark Arts. Draco saves Harry (sort of) but this isn't your average Harry-in-distress sort of fic (NOT wimpy!meek!Harry). But it is the sort of fic that has Draco persuading Harry into tapping into his Slytherin qualities. Harry nearly going insane (hallucinations, over-flowing of power) Ron/Hermione and basically almost the entire Wizarding world is afraid/disgusted of Harry (except Draco who finds Harry hawt!). Fear of the Dark Arts and Parselmouths. Harry's snakes (particularly an intelligent white one always curling around his neck/shoulders/sitting on his head). Harry, Draco and Pansy breaking into the Dept of Mysteries. Interview with Rita Skeeter (this time she's on Harry's side). Some really creepy parts. #Only 2 penetrative sex scenes. 1 Bottom!Draco and the other Bottom!Harry (Personally, I think both are EQUALLY HOT OMG!! But b!Draco fans could skip the Bottom!Harry part in Chapter 20 - the top half if you want to)

Summary: They were right, the old wizards who thought Parseltongue was a Dark gift. As Harry begins his fall from the Light, fighting desperately all the way, Draco is happy to take advantage.

*OMG THE AWESOMENESS OF THIS FIC!!! ♥♥♥♥♥ Sequel to "Paradox" from HD BigBang Erised (and omg that one's awesome too!)
WAR!FIC that is an alternate verse to DH (compliant to DH events in some places, filling up the blanks in others and sometimes a little bit different) but this time, through Draco's pov. Horcrux Hunt Camp with Draco in tow (but isn't privy to most of the Golden Trio's plans because Harry wants to protect him, among other reasons). Sexytimes in the middle of war! Torture and violence. Draco being a prat most of the time but this time a protective prat (of Harry and he might have denied it, but Draco's protective of Hermione too). Draco gradually losing his memory of the time Before the Time Travel. Also, Draco lies about his feelings and his true allegiance to Harry most of the time out of insecurity, I guess (but he definitely is on Harry's side). #Lots of sexytimes but with only two graphic penetrative sex scenes - one Bottom!Draco and the other Bottom!Harry

Summary: Just because Draco's somehow gotten himself involved in Potter's suicide mission to defeat the Dark Lord doesn't mean he has to go quietly and actually act like a Gryffindor fool. And sure, he and Potter have some sort of relationship going on, but Draco's still a Slytherin, and he's going to bring his own brand of cunning to this cockamamy fool camping trip Potter's gone and got himself stuck in trying to save the world from evil lockets, gingers, and badly cooked food.

*OMG FINALLY FOUND THIS!!! SO MANY HAPPY FEELS FOR THIS!!! Read this ages ago but forgot to bookmark it and then I lost the link (>.<)
Basically Hero!Harry has all but retired from Saving People and then an injured!Draco Malfoy is handed to him and so Harry puts on his hero cape again. Abused!But-definitely-not-a-wimp!Defiant!Draco. Smitten!Reluctant Hero!Harry. BAMF!Hermione. Some crazy secret society dedicated to crazy bigoted ideals. Order of the Phoenix-esque secret meetings for the Fight for the Greater Good. Rescuing Malfoys. #Top!Draco for the most part ;D

Summary: Harry has fled England and has built himself a life in the south of France. Unfortunately, his peaceful life is about to be turned upside down by an unwanted delivery…

*Harry/Draco established relationship. Snarky!Alive!Snape. Zombie!Lucius. Cursed artifact that raises the icky dead. Some sweet Harry/Draco moments. Then lots of kickass zombie fighting scenes! Happy ending :D #No sex

Summary: Draco discovers some old artefacts in Malfoy Manor and decides to exhibit them at the Halloween party he and Harry are hosting. But Malfoy Manor is full of Dark things and in unearthing old antiques, Harry and Draco unleash the ghosts of the past.

*Gah! One of the coolest 'undercover' fics I've read :D
Featuring Draco in some pretty shady business (illegal potions trade and then some) while also an informant for Auror Potter, his undercover partner slash pretend-boyfriend. Implied (vague) het stuff between Harry and Ginny. Crossdressing!Draco at one point. UST and (pretend public sex)... and then more sex. Supportive!Ginny. Polyjuice and mind-control potions. #Graphic sex scenes are of Bottom!Draco but it was implied that Harry wouldn't mind either position, Topping or Bottoming.

Summary: Harry goes after his head, Draco has his own agenda, and something is lurking in the dark - same old. But there is a point when even history refuses to repeat itself.
