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.

#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.

*Cuteness!! Like WHOA!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Non-magical AU. Super assistant/secretary!Draco. Cute Draco + Weasley bromance/friendship/hilarious boss+assistant (PR agency run by Augusta Longbottom) relationship. Draco's impeccable fashion taste (and the way he chooses his Weasley boss' clothes for him, because Weasley does not have a single fashion conscious bone in his body. That, and he kept staining his clothes with food stuff) Cute Draco + Pansy friendship (and gossip sessions) and the League of Snarky Secretaries. Cute toddler Teddy and big bro!Draco relationship. Andromeda dotes on Draco. Harry's love of all things coffee. Mean!Harry at first (but he has a very good reason for his asshole-ish behaviour, you'll see).

Summary: Draco is Weasley’s assistant. Except for the week he’s not. Whose brilliant idea was that again? Featuring offices in Edinburgh, an epic Measley Bromance (that no one will admit exists), several unrequited crushes, fantastical revenge scenarios, coffee snobbery, the dreaded – yet adorable – toddler terror, promises of organ swapping, a play about Scottish history (no one cares), sequins, and the League of Snarky Secretaries!

*Cute! ♥♥♥♥♥
Tee hee! 8th year. Harry crushes on Draco and uses the Giant Squid to get Draco's attention! OMG! This is beyond cute! A teensy little bit of dub-con-ish moments when Draco got fondled by the Squid. Also, swimming lessons at Hogwarts and the boys in skimpy bathing trunks! Also featuring Blaise and Pansy as Draco's protective best friends :p

Summary: Draco has a stalker, or is it a secret admirer? What does Potter have to do with it?

*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!

*HBP 6th year. Harry and Draco stuck in an orphanage in an Alternate Reality, with other orphaned children... but Draco remembers everything about his Hogwarts days while Harry acts as if he doesn't remember. Featuring a fatherly!Snape who genuinely cares for Draco, an unusual Snitch and necklace with a 'protection' rune, Christmas in an orphanage, flashbacks of Draco's childhood where Lucius is a caring father. #Mostly pre-slash and a bit of kissy scenes :p

Summary: Three Days before Christmas, Draco wakes up in a 1962 muggle children's home where he is told his parents have died. The only person he recognizes is Harry Potter, who claims to have no memory of Hogwarts or magic.

*Harry works at the Department for the Prevention of Magical Mischief... and Draco is an unrepentant troublemaker :p
Lonely!Frustrated!Harry (who can be quite mean and petty) has anger issues.... and other issues. And he's also mopey and depressed. All the petty (but funny) mischief Draco gets up to on a daily basis (and gets dragged to and/or arrested by Harry's department) doesn't at all help Harry's frustration either. Harry wants Draco punished but Draco on the other hand, wants to help Harry find his happiness again. H/D hugs and quidditch matches and bets and running around naked and sexytimes :p

Summary: Everyone always told Harry to grow up. Now that he has, when is the promised happiness going to arrive?

*Rather OOC-ish but sweet and cute :D
Exactly what the summary says. Draco isn't happy that his mother and Arthur Weasley are together and have plans to marry soon so he does his best to make things difficult for them.... and stubbornly resisting Harry's advances (It's cute how stubborn Harry is in his determination to court Draco and how equally stubborn Draco is at resisting Harry). #No sex scenes

Summary: Two years have passed since Molly Weasley and Lucius Malfoy died in the final battle. Arthur and Narcissa, due to the strength of the support group they joined shortly after their spouses died, have moved on, and have found love in each other. Their wedding is scheduled for next summer when Ginny, Draco and Ron graduate but they both realise that between now and then, some things will have to change. To help ease the two family's transition from friends to family they are spending the holiday together. Now Draco's forced to spend his Christmas with a bunch of redheads and an annoying flirt of a saviour who just won't let Draco out of his sight.

*EPIC CUTENESS!! DELICIOUSLY ADORABLE LIKE WHOA!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Ex-Auror turned DADA Professor!Harry who, after being fed up with all the ridiculous unofficial biographies of him that were released post-war to speculate on his life, signed some publication contracts to officially release a series of books (a biography of his Hogwarts days) with his permission (exclusive interviews about his life).... Think Ms Rowling's Potter books because in this story, those books are apparently written based on Harry's official account of his Hogwarts days (one book per Hogwarts year). From those books, the "general public" developed a "theory" that Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are secretly in love. A tipsy!Draco decided to seek Harry out one evening to prove the theory right :p #All sex scenes happened behind the screen. Uber cuteness! Oblivious!Harry, Oblivious!Draco

Summary: Eleven years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry is approached one evening at the Three Broomsticks by Draco Malfoy, who claims that thanks to the publication of Harry's official biography, everybody in the wizarding world has come up with a very interesting theory about the two of them.

*~~SQUEEEEEE!!! CUTENESS!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Snarky Knight Bus conductor!Draco is LOVE!! Auror!Harry (who takes the Knight Bus). Supportive best friend!Blaise. Trying to make the best out of their rather unfortunate circumstances!Narcissa. Smitten puppy!Harry (so adorably smitten with Draco that it's such a delight to picture him all soft and smiley and half in love with Draco). Oh, and Draco saves (heals!) Harry at one point and there's some sexy hot boy smex on board the MOVING Knight Bus. #No penetrative sex (too bad!)

Summary: After the war, the Malfoy fortune begins dwindling. Draco swallows his pride and gets a job the only place he can find one: the Knight Bus.

*~~SQUEEEEEEE!!! LOVELIEST PRE-SLASH DRARRY EVER ♥♥♥♥♥
8th year!fic. Brooding!Lost!Harry. Quiet!Lonely!Draco. Basically, Harry finds himself aimless and rather moody after the war because he doesn't quite know what he wants or what he wants to do with his life. In the midst of all the brooding he has been occupying himself with, he starts obsessing over Draco again. Ron/Hermione + everyone else worries. #No sex (duh! It's pre-slash)

Summary: A large portion of Harry's life had been spent leading up to one thing, and now that that thing was done, he had no idea how to move on to the next thing. What even was the next thing? Probably something to do with Malfoy.

*ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL IMAGERY & AN INTERESTING TAKE ON LUCID DREAMING! ♥♥♥♥♥
Healer!Harry, coma patient!Draco. Exactly what the summary says. Draco's subconscious and soul is trapped in a otherworldly place. Harry is determined to save him, but convincing Draco to allow himself to be saved is a whole new battle. Side pairing Ron/Hermione. Contain a slightly neurotic!Draco but not insane... or at the very least, not Bellatrix-insane, and Lucius and Narcissa who aren't evil bastards, who truly love their only son. #No sex

Summary: 5 years after the war and Harry finds a bedridden Malfoy trapped in a rose garden within his own mind. It's Harry's job to get him out by going in and visiting him there. It won't be easy though, especially considering the fact that Malfoy may have already gone mad.

*Bottom!Draco. Am gonna just link straight to Dracogotgame's Livejournal because EVERYTHING and ANYTHING Harry/Draco by Dracogotgame is the EPITOME OF CUTENESS! ♥♥♥♥♥

And I physically and mentally incapable of just picking a couple of fics out of the TON LOADS OF GOODNESS that can be found in her lj. Absolutely fluff-tastic!

*Bookkeeper!Harry, grumpy!pining!Draco and a cute little boy. Oh, and best friend!Pansy :D #No sex scenes

Summary: It wasn't that Draco had always hated Christmas.

*Cute established relationship fluff!! Undergrad students!Harry and Draco (different universities - Harry attends the University College Hospital, and works cafe. Draco attends the London School of Business & Finance, who is also a part time model). Harry and Draco have been together for years, and they've also been engaged for 2 years but their relationship was kept a total secret from friends and family. The secret comes out when Draco got into a horrific car accident. Harry worries over the possibility that his friends might not except his sexuality or his relationship with Draco. Happy fluffy ending :D #No sex scenes

Summary: Harry and Draco are living a fairly normal life with a fairly normal relationship, except for the part where it's, well, secret.

*THE KIND OF AWESOMENESS THAT LEAVES YOU BREATHLESS *breathes* ♥♥♥♥♥♥
AU-ish. Hogwarts-years. Draco takes up a new subject during his last year at Hogwarts - he just needs a subject to draw a portrait of. Then, there's Harry who knows more about Draco than Draco knows himself. Lonely!Isolated!Draco because he feels people doesn't understand him. Equally lonely!Harry, but that's because people sees him as the Boy Who Lived and not Harry. #Mostly pre-slash, with a sweet kiss at the end.

Summary: Draco POV. Features two lonely boys, and one art project.

*Drama, drama, DRAMAAAAA!!
Harry/Draco and Lucius/Narcissa as the main pairings. Past Ron/Hermione and George/Hermione as a side pairing. Major character death (that happened before the story timeline - not Harry or Draco, not Lucius or Narcissa either). Cute baby Teddy Lupin. Grieving!Andromeda. Healer!Hermione. Alcoholics!Harry and Draco. Basically, Narcissa is sick and dying. The Malfoys are desperate to save her but the only person who can save her, refuses to do. Plus, St Mungos refuse to treat anyone affiliated with Death Eaters. Harry and Draco struggles with living and the guilt of surviving through the war while others died. They drown their problems with alcohol but in the end, their friendship (and love) saved each other from self destruction. Draco needs to tell his parents the truth about his sexuality and his relationship with Harry but isn't sure if Lucius will still love him after that. I have a bit of a problem how fast everyone (except Lucius and Narcissa because they've been married for years after all) jump from comfort friends-with-benefits sex to "I love you so much, I'd die without you", but other than that it's ok :) Warning for one scene in which one of the main protagonist tried to slash their arm open out of grief (and because they're too drunk to think straight) - near fatal but they didn't die.

Summary: A year after the war, wounds remain fresh. Survivors struggle just to keep surviving. They're plagued with guilt, illness, and new prejudices. Harry always thought his life would get easier after the demise of Voldemort, but he was wrong.

*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.

*Cuteness!! Hogwarts-era. Harry has a wailing mistletoe (singing off key Christmas carols) following him everywhere. Draco is determined to stop it from singing :D #Pre-slash. No sex (duh!)

Summary: "Malfoy," Harry greeted warily, after the silence had dragged on for an uncomfortable amount of time. "Potter," Malfoy replied, looking thoroughly irritated about something. "Your plant is still singing." -:- Harry is being followed around by an enchanted, singing mistletoe. Happy holidays, a few months early. Reviews are very much appreciated.

*OMG SO HILARIOUS I NEARLY DIED LAUGHING ~~SQUEEEEE ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Basically Harry and a drama queen-ish Draco bond over strawberry jam... or rather, the sad lack of strawberry jam in Hogwarts. From there, they become co-conspirators and almost-friends... and they plot to get their hands on strawberry jam. Blaise has a thing for an oblivious!Draco and so does Harry as time passes (Blaise gets jealous). Draco is a prat but a cute one LOL! Uber cutetastic!!!

Summary: Harry's luck runs amuck and there is spam but not jam and... Really, it isn't Harry's fault Malfoy's stupid hair is so shiny or his Secret Hidden Depths are so buried.

*OMG CUTENESS!! SWEET FLANGSTY STORY ♥♥♥♥♥
Basically, Harry wants to return Draco's wand to him. So he tracked Draco down and found out Draco has left the Wizarding world behind to live with muggles. Draco has his reasons for choosing to go muggle and Harry wants to help. Cute, sweet flangst happens! Draco + Goyle best friends. Thin yet feisty and prickly!Draco with a thing for oversized jumpers and muggle boy bands. Cute Harry and Draco bonding moments (Harry finds almost everything Draco does is endearing - wanting to wrap Draco in a blanket and other fluffy stuff). Draco lashes out something awful whenever he feels vulnerable. Harry seeing an apparition of sorts of Draco in one of his Auror training sessions and it finally made him realize how deeply his feelings are for Draco. Lost of magic, but with happy ending. Oh, and supportive!Weasleys (and Hermione).

Summary: Malfoy has disappeared, and Harry tracks him down because . . . he's Harry Potter. Expecting to save Malfoy from worldly evils, he is surprised to find him living as a Muggle and listening to ponce boy bands.
