Apple Ling's List: Partners+Teammates

*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?

*CUTENESS!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror partners!Harry and Draco. Smitten-yet-oblivious!Harry (and very jealous of Blaise's friendship with Draco). Draco's cat :p #Pre-slash

Summary: Harry makes a surprising discovery when he Apparates into his Auror partner's flat one evening after an argument at work.

*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.

*GAAH!! SO AWESOME!! *loves* ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Part 1 of The Intellectual Love Affair series (it's a trilogy). Master Brewer!Draco (BAMF!Potions expert), Recluse!Harry who makes a pretty successful home-based business of creating and developing magical film for wizarding cameras. Depressed to the point of near suicidal (sometimes)!Hermione. Basically Harry gets Draco to help him create a new potion to help Hermione deal with her depression - a new potion developed from a potion Harry's currently using as a medication of sorts. Draco's an opportunistic, manipulative businessman at first (focused on the profits and benefits he could get from working with Harry), then as the story develops he changes for the better and starts to care. Evil baddies (Cordelia Nott and others) are out to destroy Draco (and later on, Harry too). A corrupted politician named Charlemagne Diggory. Harry's mysterious past + incredibly powerful magical abilities + awesome wandless/wild magic + competent potion brewing abilities (although Harry's not as good as Draco when it comes to potions) + attraction to all things Malfoy. Lots of potions shop talk. # Harry/Draco pre-slash and past Harry/Ginny

Summary: When Ron dies, Hermione falls into a deep depression. Desperate to relieve her symptoms, Harry reluctantly approaches independent apothecary Draco Malfoy for help.

*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.

*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.

*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.

*ZOMG SUCH A SQUEE-WORTHY FIC!! 100% MADE OF AWESOME!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Head Auror!Harry (with a gift for wandless magic), Seer!Draco (who is rather eccentric at times but utterly adorable still). As the story progresses, Harry finds Draco's eccentricity endearing :D Also, Draco's eyes go milky whenever he receives a vision/premonition. Draco's cute owl D'Artagnan. At the beginning of the story, Draco was stuck in a mental ward. Harry and Draco staying together in Grimmauld Place (Draco wearing Harry's clothes ~squeee!). Suspicious deaths to cover up an illicit paper trail that has to do with some Great Big Conspiracy (which Harry and Draco are determined to crack). Some of the signs that point to said Great Big Conspiracy involve the Gemini cluster of stars, invoices/receipts of some renowned pureblood males (Lucius Malfoy, Sirius Black) for donating sperm, suspicious accounting numbers etc etc. Draco was Obliviated once in the past and there was this super fancy, super cool scene where a trained Obliviator helped Draco regain his memories and break the hold of the spell on him! Draco having sexy visions of him and Harry having sex (both Top!Draco and Bottom!Draco). Hot sexy Drarry wall sex!!! Cute side pairings: Baker!Ron/Hermione and Auror!Seamus/Obliviator!Zach Smith... then there's Castor Malfoy (~squeeeee!)
#The most graphic and detailed sex scene is bottom!Draco. Top!Draco scenes are mostly only mentioned in passing.

Summary: A stray unforgiveable gives Draco a gift he can't give back and it helps him uncover a family secret linked to a series of murders five years later. With the help of Harry Potter they work together to solve the mystery of a familiar constellation.

*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.

*ALL KINDS OF WONDERFUL & SWEETNESS!! EPIC!!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror!Harry, Unspeakable!Draco = both staying in Grimmauld Place, sharing custody of little Teddy Lupin (Draco insists on calling the boy 'Theodore'). References to Harry's awful childhood at the hands of the Dursleys = it messed Harry up a little. Okay, a lot. Harry has serious abandonment issues and other insecurities (there are times he'd go into gloomy mood and thinks he's unwanted and family-less). Draco is a huge prat for the most part... that is until he realizes there's more to Harry than the surface he sees daily. Narcissa has a soft spot for Harry. Eventually Draco and Hermione became friends. Harry getting severely injured while on Auror duty and Draco nurses him back to health. Towards the end Harry and Draco work on a time-leaping case together at Hogwarts. References to past Sirius/Remus (implied past mpreg - not Harry or Draco). Harry's brief sexual crisis. Oblivious!Draco. Lots of sniping at each other at the beginning, usually ending with Harry losing his temper with a powerful display of wandless magic or Harry just up and leaving abruptly. Then, they become friends, then there's ust and more misunderstanding and then... cute kissy times and happy fluffy ending! #No sex :D

Summary: Upon Andromeda's death, Harry and Draco are given custody of Teddy. Their lives will never be the same again.

*SWEET DELICIOUS FLANGST!!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror partners!Harry and Draco. Basically Harry can't remember sleeping with Draco, making Draco feel small and hurt because he thinks Harry has tossed him aside for bigger and better things. Brief Blaise/Draco. Best friend!Pansy. Oblivious!Harry. Hurt!Pining!Angsting!Draco

Summary: After a night of drinking, Harry Potter has a love bite the size of Wales on his neck and an unsigned note from the man who gave it to him in his pocket. The only problem? He can't quite remember who he brought home with him the night before. And what's got Draco Malfoy in such a strop?

*Interesting murder mystery-type of fic!!
Auror!Harry. Respected member of Pureblood communities!Draco (who has also been enlisted by Shacklebolt) to help Harry investigate the murder case). Contains homophobia in the wizarding world, conservative pureblood ideals (with their narrow views on sexuality and gender roles), pureblood tradition, homophobia in the muggle world, repressed homosexuality (Harry's crisis and denial over his sexuality), closeted gays (Draco and other purebloods), dark magic & potion (used for murder), violence, trust issues (Harry) and friendship (Draco + Goyle). Harry's a bit of a stubborn prat with trust issues for the majority of the story because he refused to believe/accept Draco has changed for the better. And Draco's usually forced to be the more mature one of the two because of Harry's issues with him. But things get better towards the end. Protective!Goyle (over Draco and vice versa). Cute!Astoria (who is smitten over Draco).

Summary: Gryffindor Harry Potter's never been a coward. But a unique murder investigation -along with Draco Malfoy, the civilian assigned to help him solve it - has him reevaluating some of his most private decisions.

*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.

*Draco in a skimpy skirt, corset, stockings and generally looking too delicious for Harry's state of mind :DD Yums!! Draco going undercover as a prostitute. Kink: Rimming

Summary: Draco looks disturbingly comfortable undercover.

*A hot crossdressing!Draco (with Veritaserum laced lipstick), a smitten!jealous!horny!Harry and sexytimes!! And this time Draco 'tops' Harry while wearing sexy stockings!! Yums!!

Summary: A typical Auror mission goes somewhat awry when Aurors Potter and Malfoy are forced to perform it without magic.

*Auror partners!Harry and Draco. Cute and so very funny!! ♥♥♥ Zombie eat brains. Dawlish pumpkin and oddly funny zombie in pursuit!!

Summary: Harry and Malfoy have been dispatched to an abandoned home in search of the missing owner. They think they've found him, but more importantly, he's found them.

*Career Choices: Gossip Columnist!Draco, Investigative Journalist!Harry
Harry/Draco UST (past relationship and then wanting more but they're both too stubborn to admit it). Draco snooping around and playing detective with Harry. Narcissa as a valuable source for gossip. Ron/Hermione getting married. Stupid smugglers and thugs. Portkeys and Dark Objects.

Summary: Confiscated Dark objects have been disappearing from the Ministry, and journalist Harry Potter is on the case. Unfortunately, he has to drag along Draco Malfoy, gossip columnist extraordinaire, whose subject of choice is everyone's favorite desultory hero. Forced to contend with cursed objects, international smugglers, and a lesson on the value of gossip, all Harry wants is to put out a respectable article. Oh, and to forget a night that only Draco knows and will never write about.

*Gah! Definitely one of the best one-shots ever written :D ♥♥♥

Summary: Never trust in the god of love. He is a swindler and cheat. But sometimes the trouble is worth the price.

*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.
