Apple Ling's List: On The Run/Hiding Together

*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.

*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.

*Story set directly post-war. Spy for the Light!Draco (Redeemed!Draco). This has a rather chatty and expressive!Draco that is just endearing to read and a Harry that started off as all moody and full of teenage angst.... but eventually he warms up to Draco.
Featuring Draco's love for coffee and Harry liking tea better than coffee, Harry's sexy morning workouts, Draco bonding with the TV, Draco learning how to cook, lots of H/D bickering and attempts at friendship, H/D having nightmares, cute H/D bonding moments (cleaning the house together, sharing secrets and other personal details, getting drunk together sharing a bed, etc) #No sex scenes

Summary: Harry and Draco are sent to a safe house immediately after the battle of Hogwarts, where they're supposed to be spend three weeks together, much to their anger. Television serves as both therapy and a bonding opportunity, coffee and tea get drunk in large quantities, and they try to reconcile themselves with life after the war.

*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.

*Auror!Harry (with Auror partner!Zach Smith), Daily Prophet's star reporter and youngest millionaire/publisher/owner of the Daily Prophet and its other subsidiaries!Draco. Basically Harry has the hots for Draco but is deeply in denial (and in the closet) and so Harry pines (and surfs the internet for porn. Lots and lots of gay porn). Draco wants Harry too but is too stubborn and prideful to admit it (so he's all bitchy). Zach has issues with his sexuality (so he passes off as a foul-mouthed homophobe most of the time). In the mean time, someone is out to kill all (ex) Death Eaters (while Harry and Draco are cooped up in a safe house and are slowly dying of sexual frustration). Zach and Draco are pretty vulgar sometimes, but Zach's vulgarity usually involves homophobic slurs while Draco's vulgarity is.... well, he fancies himself a sexual deviant... a sex god. Also, I don't know why... but I find Draco's passion for his work and his bragging about being a top-notch writer/reporter is TEH CUTE!! And erm, at one point Draco offers Harry sexual favours in exchange for a story :p #Implied switching but graphic sex scenes are all deliciously top!draco

Summary: Harry/Draco. When former Death Eater informants start turning up dead, Auror Harry Potter must take star Daily Prophet reporter (and owner) Draco Malfoy into protective custody.

*Sequel = Don't Miss the Train
Auror partners!Harry and Draco (in Budapest). Redeemed!Draco who's chirpy and adorably flirtatious at the beginning but gets seriously upset when Harry refuses to see past their childhood rivalry (Stubborn!Judgmental!Harry), to see that Draco has changed for the better. Harry might be a little bit mean at times but... oh well, he has his reasons.

Summary: Harry and Draco are forced to work together on an assignment. Draco's been pursuing Harry for a while, but Harry has too little respect for Draco to take him seriously. Could anything in the world change that?

*ANGSTY WAR!FIC, BUT IT HURTS SO GOOD *sniffles* ♥♥♥♥♥♥
A different take on the 'Sectumsempra bathroom scene' in HBP - except, it didn't happen. Harry Summoned Draco's wand out of his hand instead of casting 'Sectumsempra' - so instead of saving Draco from Fiendfyre, Harry saved Draco that day in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Harry and Draco stuck in Grimmauld Place (alone - because Kreacher and the screaming bitch of a portrait doesn't count) for their protection (locked in by wards). Faking Draco's death, severe (gore-y, bloody, torture-filled) nightmares, trauma and so much fear and angst and crying... and comfort sex (post-nightmare). Alcoholic!Depressed!Broken!Draco. Noble!Protective!Smitten!Harry. Lots of sexy angsty desperate!sex with Harry trying and failing to be noble (he didn't want to take advantage of a depressed!broken!Draco) - omg the blowjob scene in the drawing room! Attempted suicide, more angst but with happy Harry/Draco ending.

Summary: If you had only died when you were meant to, I'd have grown up in a wizarding world already ruled by the Dark Lord. I wouldn't be screaming at you in a sixth floor bathroom. I wouldn't be raising my wand, Crucio on my lips.

*BRAVE!DRACO IS ♥♥♥♥♥ SO MANY FEELS FOR THIS FIC, SO LITTLE WORDS *flails*
Directly post-war. Order of the Phoenix member!Draco (under magical Glamour as 'Malcolm' to protect his real identity and also so that the Order can use Draco as a spy). Narcissa as a loving, protective mother. Draco wanting to redeem himself/atone for his mistakes by working for the Order. Harry and Draco staying at Grimmauld Place together and eventually getting to know each other as Harry and 'Malcolm'. Harry and Draco playing chess and learning to apparate through wards while at Grimmauld Place. Charlie Weasley being appointed as Draco's... supervisor slash babysitter of sorts in the Order. A little bit of violence, torture under the Cruciatus curse, a baddie thrush animagus and a fire. #No sex. Just sweet, fluffy kissing.

Summary: To save himself and his family, Draco must disappear in plain sight-of Harry Potter, that is.

*OMG I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SO VERY MUCH ~~SQUEEEEEE ♥♥♥♥♥
Hogwarts 8th year. Harry and Draco (and ghost!Crabbe) stuck in the Room of Requirement together. Ghost!Crabbe being a meanie to Draco. Harry having problems making the RoR grant his 'requirements' while it seems as if the Room favours Draco more. Lonely!Insecure!Draco who deeply regrets his past choices/mistakes and wants forgiveness. Harry and Draco getting drunk together, sharing a bed, experimenting with hot boysex, getting to know each other better... all in the Room (and most of the time on the bed). Harry's 'weird' chest hair pattern (and Draco wanting to shave it off). An unexpected twist towards the end but it's a happy ending :)

Summary: Harry's just defeated Voldemort, and has had enough trouble for a lifetime. All he wants to do now is to get into his four-poster bed in Gryffindor Tower and sleep. Too bad he soon finds himself unexpectedly stuck in a malfunctioning Room of Requirement... with 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.

*100% LOVE!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!
Auror!Harry, Murder suspect!Draco. The usual "Harry saving Draco" plot with quite an interesting case of murder mystery and Luna goodness thrown in. Draco+Pansy best friends. Milly Bulstrode as a loyal friend... who's quite a bit like the Slytherin version of Luna. Protective!Kreacher of Harry. Harry and Draco camping. Dark potions that requires Pansy's blood. #No sex

Summary: Harry Potter is absolutely certain Draco Malfoy did not murder Pansy Parkinson. He's almost absolutely certain he can prove this without sacrificing his career and having them both hauled up before the Wizengamot.

*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.

*BRILLIANT!! PERFECT COMBINATION OF ADVENTURE, ANGST AND HURT/COMFORT! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!
Auror trainees and partners!Harry and Draco. Stuck in the middle of nowhere together. Draco saving Harry. Severe magic deprivation. Harry trying to show Draco he cares, despite Draco's skepticism. #No penetrative sex

Summary: It is their last assignment as Trainee Aurors and the only time they will have to work together (Draco hopes), but then the storm arrives, and Draco's life gets much more complicated.

*LOVES!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!
Poor!Miserable!Yet-Prideful!Draco working in a muggle pub. Divorcee!Harry. Past Harry/Ginny. References to past Harry/OMC.
Harry + Ron/Hermione at odds with one another because they along with everyone else took Ginny's side during the divorce. Harry and Draco drunken bonding. Draco and loads of insecurity and trust issues plus nightmares (which Harry constantly has to reassure/comfort him). Sexuality issues and pining. Interesting muggle OC - Rachel. What I like about this fic is that both Harry/Draco are painted as flawed and imperfect, with unresolved issues and they are idiots at times, lashing out at one another when confused or feeling insecure - but strangely enough they "fit" together. Although I would prefer Harry to have to grovel at least a little bit more for Draco's forgiveness that one time he just up and left. #No penetrative sex although I suspect it'll probably be "switching". But Draco's obviously the very insecure partner while Harry, the 'protector'.

Summary: It's been four years since the Battle of Hogwarts, and Draco Malfoy has resided to a quiet, lonely life in muggle London. Of course, Harry Potter is bound to come around and stir things up…

*A VERY ENTERTAINING READ! SWEET AND POIGNANT! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!
H/D with R/Hr stuck together in a safe house directly after Voldermort's defeat. Harry repaying his debt to Narcissa by taking Draco along with him. H/D accidentally bound (handcuffed) together by a trust spell. H/D forced to share a bed and other stuff. Sweet-smelling!Draco (Lemon) who likes to experiment with baking and making tea/coffee. Draco and Ron bonding over TV Quizzes. Draco apologizing to Hermione. Trashy romance novels. Walks on the beach. A bit of homophobic trashing. Hamlet the dog. Harry gradually but surely falls in love (with Draco). #No penetrative sex on screen.

Summary: When the war isn't quite as over as it first appears, a guilt-ridden Harry is sent to a mysterious safe-house. Among sandwiches, insomnia, and Mills & Boon, he discovers something quite unexpected.

*JOY!! AN INTERESTING TAKE ON AN ALTERNATE ENDING FOR THE WAR!! LOVES!! Remix for Cheryl Dyson's 'Need' <http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3563865/1/Need>
War!fic, Harry and Draco forced into hiding together (sharing a bed together), heavy UST-ing, teaching each other new spells, nightmares and comforting-afters, adventure and eventual fluff! No Hallows and just a teensy tiny bit of Horcrux stuff. Plus awkward Voldie-Draco hug!! #Bottom!Draco in the end but subtly implied (possible) switching.

Summary: Harry and Draco manage to escape from being trapped in a wine cellar, but their problems don't end there. Voldemort, somewhat inconsiderately, doesn't think to pause the war while they work out their feelings for one another, and the Order is not quite as supportive as Harry had hoped.

HEART-BREAKING BUT GOD, IT HURTS SO GOOD! EPICNESS!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!
#Epilogue compliant dystopian future. Post-zombi-apocalypse. Zombie infection due to Voldy's curse. Acute fear of loneliness. Memory loss+Pensieve. Catatonia. Zombie slaying. Major character death (not ASP or SM). Pairings include Harry/Ginny, Harry/Draco, Ron/Hermione, Albus Sev/Scorpius (main pairing). READ THE WARNINGS! THIS IS NOT FOR THE WEAK-HEARTED!!

Summary: It's several years after they escaped the chamber, life is different in this new world and sometimes it's hard to remember what being alive feels like.
