Apple Ling's List: Horcrux Hunting

*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.

*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.

*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.

*Horcrux huntings smut LOL. In short, Harry and Draco compete for a horcrux and ended up stuck in a rather compromising position - of course, they'd take advantage of it :D
*No penetrative sex

Summary: Harry and Draco play with a different kind of snitch, at four hundred feet with no brooms.

*Harry and gang in South America on a Horcrux hunt! Harry and creepy Voldy visions, cute blue-footed booby and a giant tortoise, birdy mating dance, seeing Draco Malfoy all over the place only to disappear a few seconds later into thin air, Draco can't remember his time while in Transfigured state (Transfiguration induced amnesia?), saving a tortoise, magical lake, H/D sexytimes, redeemed!lonely!yet-friendly!Draco

Summary: Another Horcrux has been discovered. Harry, Ron and Hermione must travel half way across the world to find it. Destroying it will require the assistance of the most unlikely candidate.

*AMAZING!!
An alternative take on DH with Draco accompanying Harry and gang on their Horcrux camp. Draco takes an Unbreakable Vow to help Harry... the trio unintentionally mistreats Draco out of suspicion, mistrust and spite(Ron mostly). Draco, tortured at Bellatrix's hands (heavy Cruciatus). Harry and his Voldie nightmares. Draco washing his clothes. Harry watching Draco. UST! #No penetrative sex

Summary: Harry accepts Draco's help in the war.

*AWESOMENESS BEYOND WORDS!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!! A different take on events in OoTP.
Alive!Sirius. Spies!Narcissa and Draco (to take revenge for Lucius' murder). H/D angry lusty sexual arrangement turned something more. The truth about Regulus and subsequently, Sirius' friendship with Kreacher. Locket Horcrux and Hufflepuff's cup. Memory viewing (through a Pensieve) of Lucius' death. Narcissa teaching Draco Occlumency. Mean!Paranoid!Harry turned guilty and apologetic. Harry+sexuality crisis. Prickly!Defensive!Draco with a talent for drawing. Draco with Ollivander's little niece. #No penetrative sex yet but with subtle undertones of possible 'switching' in the near future.

Summary: After the eventful Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth year at Hogwarts, his godfather gave him a badly wrapped package. Inside was something Harry could use it to get in contact should the need arise, Sirius said. Harry resolved never to use whatever it was -- he would not put Sirius in danger. When later that year Harry was shown Sirius in terrible danger, he did not think of using Sirius's last-minute gift. Hermione, however, did. This is the story of what happened after that.

*Order of the Phoenix Leader!Harry, Draco staying at Grimmauld under the protection of the Order. A bit of Charlie/Draco with a jealous!pining!Harry (Charlie/Draco/Harry love triangle with Draco in the middle). Past Harry/Ginny. Half of the Order ended up trying to stage mutiny to overthrow Harry. A bit of Horcrux hunting. #No sex scenes.

Summary: Harry wants to help Draco Malfoy, and when a harried Snape brings him that very opportunity, in the form of a half-dead Draco, one night the summer after Dumbledore's death, he seizes it, bringing Draco into his home and his heart. But wars are fraught with pain, mistrust, loss, and loneliness, and what's Harry to do when he falls in love with Draco? Jealousy and bitterness, erratic magic, dissension in the ranks and hope may be lost. But just as there is light as the sunset sets, there is hope when all seems lost.

*HBP compliant and a different take on DH events. Contains evil!Lucius, redeemed!Draco, alive!Remus&Tonks, Remus teaching Harry how to 'sense' magic, trip to Muggle side of England with Draco, Horcrux hunting, breaking into Gringotts (attacked by dragons and other magical creatures), infiltrating a D.E infested Hogwarts, sneaking into Slytherin dorm (attacked by snakes), burned!Harry, slashed!poisoned!Draco.

Summary: There was time to turn back. Now, Harry's friends faithfully stand by his side as they hunt for the last Horcruxes and face danger, adventure and hopefully, the end of the war. Continues at HBP-not DH compliant.

*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?

*Inception movie inspired. Auror partners!Harry&Draco (specializing in crimes involving children). Legilimens/Occlumency expert!Draco. Construction of dreams, hopping between dreams/memories. Past child abuse. Sexuality issues. Flangsty pining. Horcrux possession. A bit of past Blaise/Draco, misunderstood Harry/Ginny, Harry/OMCs. Christmassy ending. #No (graphic) sex on screen.

Summary: When Harry Potter cannot be awakened from a self induced dream state, can his Auror partner Draco Malfoy find a way to wake him before an unforeseen threat in Harry's mind destroys them both?

*One of the best War!fics. Ever. Bodyguard(sort of)!Draco and Charge!Harry. Blind!Harry but with the unique ability to see magic. Horcrux hunting and other unique magical theories and practice. Harry has quite a disturbing aversion to touch with the only exception of Draco (possibly as a result of past child abuse). Alive!Sirius and Remus. Good!Lucius. #No penetrative sex - possibly subtly implied 'switching' between the two. But Draco's the 'protector' in this piece and Harry's rather dependent on him.

Summary: Harry Potter wasn't reintroduced to the wizarding world when he was eleven. When they find him, nine years later than they should have, things are much different.

*Crack-ish and humourous with a bittersweet ending (implied major character death). Featuring Draco joining the Order, Draco and Snape staying with Harry and the Dursleys, Draco+Dudley(Lee)=Friends, going to a Muggle high school together, Draco who's nice to house-elves (Kreacher), drama queen!Narcissa who spies for the Light to protect Draco, in denial!HD (childishly antagonistic to each other at the same time), a bit of Horcrux hunting (in a light-hearted way), pensieve memory-viewing, interesting OCs like Ms Thompson, Mr Blake, Cherub, Tilda.

#Spoiler: Ending made my chest ache something awful but the rest of the fic's too adorably intriguing to ignore.

Summary: In a multiverse of endless possibilities, everything we imagine exists somewhere. The bad choices we didn't make, the good choices we should have made and, most of all, the choices we wish we'd made. This is a story about the choices that change the world.

*Draco surrendering to the Light. Horcrux hunting. Booby-trapped Spinner's End. Slytherin portrait and dagger. Deserted Hogwarts castle.

Summary: The Chariot: Opposites, one light, one dark, learning to work together for Victory, then coming to realize that Victory is not the end, but a new beginning.

*Cute and flirty!Draco and cute and loving!Harry. Side pairings: Ron/Hermione, Blaise/Ginny and Neville/Pansy. Featuring lots of magical sweets, sentient biscuits, intuitive mistletoes, kissing under the mistletoe, pensieve-like device to store/communicate with souls, a bit of horcrux hunting, good parents!Lucius and Narcissa, Draco's childhood stuffed toy, some Pureblood/Wizarding beliefs and culture, Draco getting injured during Quidditch and catching the Snitch. #A bit of talk on who should bottom, nothing traumatising for you.

Summary:Dumbledore grants the students a week of fun before the holidays complete with magical gingerbread men, whipped cream fights, and a sundae bar so they can make their own sundaes

*Werewolf!Draco. Draco teaching Harry how to cast Unforgivables. Combined spell-casting to destroy horcruxes. #No penetrative sex scenes

Summary: Harry/Draco Horcrux research is boring until a badly-mauled Draco Malfoy is dropped in Harry's kitchen. Plot ensues.

*Spy!Draco

Summary: The war is over ... in fact it never really got started because the Dark Lord proved to be the more powerful. Now five years after Dumbledore's death, Draco Malfoy has something else to worry about besides being a spy.

*Switching with non-graphic (not overly, that is) B!Harry. Features a bit of Harry/Ginny/Draco love triangle, Ghost!Sirius, a Draco who appreciates Muggle music and unique magical theory to reverse Draco's magic-less condition.

Summary: What should have happened after 'Half Blood Prince'! It's the autumn after Dumbledore's death, the Death Eaters are steadily gaining power, and Harry and his friends are desperate to find the remaining Horcruxes. But then Draco Malfoy arrives at Grimmauld Place, traumatised, starved and drained of all his magical ability. It falls to Harry to show the Slytherin how to adapt to his new way of life, never guessing that Draco has a few things to teach him in return.
