Apple Ling's List: Genre:Drama

*8th year. Angsty hurt/comfort with a fluffy ending. Featuring Jittery!Prone to panic attacks!Depressed!Apathetic!Draco... basically this has an emotionally damaged!Draco like whoa! And a Pining!Obsessively stalker-like!Harry who's lost and wanted desperately to belong. Brief Harry/Ginny and Draco/Astoria (past Draco/Pansy). Not-Evil!Slytherins who genuinely care for Draco. Contains severe depression and anxiety that manifested in some form of numb, apathetic behavior + suicidal thoughts. Eating disorder. Nightmares and severe panic attacks. At one point Draco nearly gets himself killed and Harry rescues him. Stressful exams and classes. Touching H/D bonding moments and Draco/Astoria moments.
#Sex scenes happen off-screen.

Summary: Shortly after the war, Draco Malfoy wakes up with a new understanding, and Harry Potter needs firmer ground to walk on. Unfortunately, life is never easy, especially with the burdens of N.E.W.T.s looming closer. As Draco struggles to maintain his sanity, Harry is back to his old routine-stalking Draco.

*8th year. Basically Harry finds himself glued to Draco (literally) and is forced to get used to being in close proximity with Draco - plus go about his daily routine one handed. Draco's an intriguing mixture of (well hidden) vulnerability, false bravado, stubbornness, withdrawn wariness and cute snark. Harry, on the other hand is soooo Harry that he is UBER CUTENESS!! Awesome!Hermione. Harry's naughty t-shirt (to sleep in) and Draco's nightgown :p Sleeping and eating together. Nightmares and Draco crying and comforting. And lots of UST-ing. Also, teenagers can be real mean and thoughtless (especially to Draco, considering post-war circumstances) #No penetrative sex

Summary: The first thing Harry knew about it was when he woke up lying on a bed in the hospital wing, with his arm firmly stuck to the scrawny, milk-white arm of Draco bloody Malfoy.

*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.

*Rather OOC but it fits the story. Basically, on the night Harry, Ron and Hermione were grabbed by Snatchers and brought to Malfoy Manor, Draco decides to help them discretely... and also managed to get himself bedded by Harry (and subsequently falls pregnant). Voldie, Lucius and Narcissa thinks Draco's unborn child is fathered by Voldie. Draco plays along... and in the mean time, the war is in full swing and Draco tries to help Harry's side of the war as much as he can, discretely. Blaise as Draco's best friend. Also, Draco is very hormonal while pregnant ;p

Summary: When Draco sees Harry captured and taken to Malfoy Manor his feelings change. He is frightened and takes solace in the arms of the one person nobody would ever suspect. Draco hides the pregnancy from everyone who could use it against either Harry or himself. How does Harry find out…? What happens after that...?

*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.

*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.

*Timeline spanning from an alternate Hogwarts 7th year (HBP and DH didn't happen) to directly post-war. Death Eater Spy for the Order!Draco. Featuring Brave!Self-sacrificing!Smitten!Draco and a Harry who finds himself slowly, but surely, falling in love with this other side of Draco. Harry's also several inches taller than Draco. References to (past) torture and the resulting aches/shakiness/concussion from it (Draco), the Bone Breaking Curse (and injuries resulting from that curse), Draco saving Harry, Harry's brief sexuality crisis (concerning Draco's crush on him), supportive Ron and Hermione, secret relationship, coming out, moving in together, cute H/D moments, cute hurt/comfort moments when one of them came down with the flu, happy fluffy ending

A series of ficlets about Harry and Draco and their blossoming relationship.

Starting with the summary of the first part:
Summary: Harry is sent to collect the new spy after a Death Eater meeting. Pre-slash. This is the first installment of The Spy Series.

*One of the hurt/comfort classics in the H/D part of fandom. Featuring a vulnerable!needy!Draco (he also cries a lot) with symptoms of Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder (with references to past abuse and torture - sexual,magical, physical and mental abuse - which resulted in breaking his mind), and Harry as his caregiver/guardian + eventual lover. Other memorable things to take note: Evil!Slytherins (and Lucius and the Death Eaters), Narcissa committing suicide, one of Draco's "other" personalities include a 6-year-old child, Draco has a penchant for climbing into Harry's lap for comfort or tucking his face in the crook of Harry's shoulder, Harry helping Draco get dressed/bathe... even lulling him to sleep, Ron getting angry at Harry, an old Black protection curse - the Ancestral Rite, getting kidnapped by baddies, having nightmares, teenage angst, teenage lusty hormones :p Happy ending
#Mostly bottom!Draco. 1 bottom!Harry scene in between flashbacks of bottom!Draco in the last chapter. *fans self* Sexy!

Summary: When Draco Malfoy's mental health mysteriously declines, he is placed under the care of the only person he responds to: Harry Potter. Includes mental disorders (paranoid schizophrenia, Dissociative Identity Disorder, post-traumatic stress).

*Adaptation of "Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. Harry has a "time-traveling" condition and as he time-travels, he meets Draco in various stages of their life. Uber sweet and romantic with a happy fluffy ending. Timeline spanning from when Harry first met tiny kidlet!Draco to when they're both old and grey (and still very much in love and together ♥). When Harry travels through time, he suffers a bit of disorientation and temporary amnesia. The Draco in this universe is endearingly sweet on Harry, probably because he remembers Harry's time-travel moments through various (significant) parts of his life more than Harry himself. Uber romantic H/D first time ♥♥
Smooch Fest link: http://hd-smoochfest.livejournal.com/117813.html

Summary: Harry was twenty-one the first time it happened, he was twenty-one and falling in love for the first time. It seems he'll go back, travel through time, until he finds the anchor that keeps him here.

*War!fic. Set directly post HBP. Basically Draco goes to Harry to seek protection for himself and his family, Harry agrees but only if Draco gives him Snape (because Harry wants to enact revenge on Snape for Dumbledore's death). So Draco tags along with the Trio, they snipe at each other something awful (the boys prank each other on a daily basis). Harry doesn't trust Draco and Draco makes sure that he makes things as difficult as possible for Harry (whining, snarking, teasing, etc etc), but slowly, eventually, they do learn to get along... somewhat :p
Featuring a bratty!Draco, occasional H/D hugs, prank war between Ron+Harry against Draco, H/D cuddling up for body heat, cute drunk!Draco, hopeful ending. #Pre-slash

Summary: Harry grins and wraps his arms around Malfoy. 'Time to go home,' he says.

'Home,' Malfoy echoes drowsily, something in his voice. It might be resentment, agreement, resignation. Harry can't tell.

*(Muggle)Banker!Harry who is very good at his job (and has pretty much left the wizarding world behind. His only connection to his wizard past is (Manly epitome of Hotness!)Ron and Hedwig. Draco is a wandmaker (he took over Ollivander's shop and he puts gemstones and other shiny minerals into his wands) and he also writes a column in The Daily Prophet.
Basically Harry broke his wand and is forced to go back to the wizarding world he left behind to get his wand fixed. Wandmaker!Draco thinks he can help Harry.
Featuring a nice Aunt Petunia, smart!professional!confident!Harry, casual!easy-going!quirky!Draco, Draco being shorter than Harry (cute!), minor character death (not Harry or Draco), Harry having problems controlling his magic (that, and he gets magic-sick - a bit like motion sickness, only Harry feels ill in magical environments), Greg Goyle (Draco's best friend) owns a restaurant, H/D working together to create a compatible wand for Harry, looking and trying out gemstone compatibility, cute H/D flirty moments #Switching!fic definitely but it's only 1 bottom!Harry scene and 1 bottom!Draco scene.

Summary: Harry wasn't at school any more, nor was he fifteen. He was a successful merchant banker with a flat to die for and an owl who loved him. And he wasn't going to get into a pissing match with a stick-fiddler who'd always driven him mental.

*Hollywood actor!Draco, Bodyguard!Harry. Past Harry/OMC (and that OMC is a total ass). Featuring Draco as a famous actor in the muggle world, a brooding!lonely!Harry, Draco's phobia of fire, Harry's love for all things cheesy (Taylor Swift songs and romance novels)... and is also a closet romantic, Draco's nightmares, lots of bickering and snark and happy, sexy ending :p
Smooch Fest link: http://hd-smoochfest.livejournal.com/111217.html

Summary: Harry Potter has spent the last seven years doing everything the Wizarding World's saviour and Golden Boy shouldn't - breaking it off with his childhood sweetheart, quitting Auror training, and living in isolation in Muggle London. Having just gotten out of an emotionally and financially abusive relationship, Harry hasn't been out of his house in weeks. Meanwhile, after disappearing from the Wizarding World and moving to America for seven years, Draco Malfoy has become a famous Hollywood actor and is back in England to film his latest movie. When Draco begins to receive serious threats, he asks for a Wizard bodyguard to be assigned to him, and who should be more fit for the job than the fallen-from-grace Man Who Lived Twice himself? But can Harry and Draco set aside their differences and work together, or is this just a disaster in the making?

*So good! *moans* Canon compliant (minus the Epilogue). Basically Draco goes on trial after the war for the nasty things he did as a D.E. He's scared stiff, paranoid, bitterly regretful of his past actions but stubbornly prideful and defensive all the same... and is also very reluctant to let Harry help him. Lucky for him, Harry still has an unhealthy obsession with all things Draco Malfoy and wants to save him... and give Draco back his wand (which Draco refuses to accept - the wand, I mean). Featuring a bit of wandlore and duelling, lots of H/D bickering and UST-ing and angry make-out sessions, portrait of Walburga Black screaming at Harry and cooing over Draco, Draco refusing his hawthorn wand.... etc etc
#No penetrative sex scenes

Summary: Harry hadn't initially meant to speak at Malfoy's trial. But then, he hadn't initially meant for a lot of things to happen.

*International liaison officer (between different wizarding ministries)!Harry. Social worker!Draco (working for the New York State office of children and family services)
#Story setting in New York (mostly). Basically, Harry bumps into a Cute!Domestic!Single father!Draco with two adorable sons (one, a hyper chatterbox and the other, small and quiet), was charmed off his feet by Draco's boys and Draco himself, decided to woo Draco. Featuring Lucius and Narcissa as parents who genuinely love Draco and misses him terribly when he "disappeared" post-war, Draco with a new baby brother, Draco with muggle friends and seemed to have given up magic for good, Domestic!Draco in an apron (with a baby on his hip) scene, fluffy first date (with a disastrous start, the result of Harry's naivety LOL!) and other dates with Draco and his boys.
#Story jumped a bit too fast from H/D just getting re-acquainted to falling in love and then getting married but it's still delightfully adorable

Summary: Seven years after the war Harry and Draco are living completely different lives, so what happens when their worlds collide again? Why Love of-course!

*Awesomeness!! ~~omgsqueeeeee!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Harry works with the Department of Misuse of Magic (sort of like a Narcotics Agent), Draco brews illegal (and addictive) potions. Basically Harry is out to arrest the gang of drug (addictive potion) dealers Draco brews for and so Draco is tasked with the duty to keep Harry occupied and distracted from his job. But right from the start, it was never about deceiving Harry but more on the fact that Draco finds himself genuinely attracted to Harry. Featuring H/D bickering at each other like an old married couple, buying each other coffee and sending the coffee to the recipient through a delivery service, dinner dates, Harry teaching Draco how to drive, Draco teaching Harry how to ski, sexytimes and a little bit of angst... but there's a happy ending :D

Summary: In which Draco's life is shady, Harry is out to save the world from itself, and revenge turns sour.

*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.

*Deliciously sexy ~~yummy!
Sexual experimentation. Professional sex worker!Harry (in a muggle setting) who is deliciously confident and at ease with his bisexuality (and his sexual prowess). Virgin!Closeted!Draco (when it comes to gay sex) who is adorably nervous yet enthusiastic at his first time with a man (Harry). Infidelity tag for Draco cheating on his fiancee with a male whore (Harry) to find out if he likes men. A bit of angst because Draco came to Harry under disguised as "David Mason" and Harry worries that "David" might have recognised him.

Summary/Description: He was a secret gigolo until a mysterious man hired him one night - a man who knew surprising facts about his past. Harry has left the Wizarding World and is making a living in a rather surprising way, but he loves his work and has a nice, calm life. Until someone who seems to recognise him appears on the scene - and Harry isn't keen on being recognised.

*Awesomeness!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror!Harry. "Mental illness" tag for Narcissa. A series of petty theft involving fake jewelries have been popping up all over, Auror!Harry's been sent to investigate and Draco, as usual, is as uncooperative as ever. Draco is AWESOME in this! He's a survivor, a fighter and a protector; at times he seems so broken (physically) but in mind and inner strength, he's as strong as ever - a survivor. Lots of fighting and UST because both boys are on a very short fuse with their tempers.... but that just makes the eventual sexytimes all the more HOT!

Summary: If not for the Minister being attacked in a raid, it might have made front page that Narcissa Malfoy had gone round the bend.
