Apple Ling's List: Potion/Curse/Spell

*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.

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.

#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).

*Absolutely beautiful!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Basically Harry's stuck in a cursed sleep and Draco is the one tasked to take care of him. Along the way, Draco falls in love with Harry and angst over the impossibility of being with Harry. Happy ending! *Absolutely love ending scene* #No penetrative sex scenes

Summary: Harry's cursed with the Sleeping Beauty curse. And in order to protect him, he's put into protected hiding until a cure can be found. And Draco's got to pay for the war somehow.

*(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.

*Uber fluff-tastic!! ♥♥♥♥♥
8th year. Featuring a very cute Harry crushing on Draco but not quite realizing it at first so he stalks Draco everywhere trying to befriend him :p Other cute parts of the story include a bit of wand lore ("wand union", unintentional bond caused by special magic-y wandlore stuff - just READ the story!), the way magic "feels" different according to the type of personality of the caster, and lots more cute H/D bonding moments, Harry getting badly injured at one point #No sex scenes
Smooch Fest link: http://hd-smoochfest.livejournal.com/115779.html

Summary: Harry's wand is playing up and Hermione thinks she knows the answer, but why does she have to be right all the time, why does Draco Malfoy have to be so god damn difficult and why is he wearing his tie backwards?

*Utterly adorable ♥♥♥♥♥ :p
Very cute fic told from clueless!canon!Ron's (Auror!Ron) pov. Field Auror!Harry. Draco is an adorably quirky (and snarky) researcher in the (very messy) Analytical Lab in the DMLE. Featuring a newly married!Ron/Hermione, the magically cluttered and messy environment of the Analytical Lab, Draco using a brightly multi-coloured filing system with a an assortment of cutesy clips/hairpins as paper clips, Draco being a bit of a pariah in the Ministry before Ron took to befriending him, cute Ron/Draco friendship (thought it look distinctly endearing as a big brother+little brother relationship with Ron as the big brother and Draco the petulant and whiny little brother - Ron flicks Draco on the forehead :p), Ron unintentionally matchmaking Harry and Draco together, cute Harry/Draco moments with Ron being oblivious to the nature of their relationship, being kidnapped and then escaping from their captors, awesome magical theories/details, being handcuffed together #No sex scenes
Smooch Fest link: http://hd-smoochfest.livejournal.com/111217.html

Summary: When Hermione rushes off to the Amazon, Ron is left to handle their brooding third wheel but he's never been especially good with emotional problems. Somehow, he drags Malfoy into the mix and the stupid Ferret steals the show.

*Mhmm, sexy! :p Basically, established relationship!Harry and Draco (they're married!) discuss their sexual kinks. #Fantasy-wise (or when it comes to kinky preferences) Draco gets off on being the slutty, submissive bottom while Harry has a thing for dominating Draco. In actual practice (in usual day-to-day routine) however, they take turns Topping/Bottoming and... are pretty vanilla in their bedroom activities, mostly because they're ashamed of their.... wilder, kinkier fantasies. Contains super sexy, very graphic Top!Draco/Bottom!Harry scene (while they fantasize about a particular Bottom!Draco scenario) at the end *fans self*. Also, lots and lots of Veritaserum

Summary: This entire fic is one long conversation about sex.

*Head Auror!Harry, Charm inventor!Draco. ~~OMGSQUEEEEEE!! Deliciously sexy and hot! *fans self* ♥♥♥♥♥
Basically Draco invents a new messaging charm for the Aurors that works a bit like cellphone text messaging, but for some reason Harry has been (accidentally) receiving most of Draco's sexy messages to Blaise (and the messages got him hot and bothered.... and lusting after Draco).

Summary: Draco has convinced the Auror department to test his new messaging charm for secure communications. Harry really would have preferred that he not find out through messages like, 'Yeah, tonight you're going to beg me for it,' that the system wasn't as secure as they thought.

*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.

*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.

*EPIC!! *so much love* ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror!Harry, criminal!Draco.... but still, they love each other.

Summary: At the end of the day, Harry will do whatever it takes to keep Draco. No matter what he's done.

*OMG UBER CUTETASTIC!!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Cute Harry and Draco bond in a fluffy situation brought about by a potions mishap. A Draco with his inhibitions let loose is startlingly shy, a bit weepy but adorable in his enthusiasm to befriend Harry. Draco is also a cuddle bug (tee hee!) A Harry with his inhibitions let loose tends to babble... a lot (so cute!), mostly about Draco. They giggle and cuddle and have PG13 kissy sexytimes and confess their inner most secrets (including their not-so-secret obsession with each other and sexuality issues) to each other :D

Summary: A potions accident involving Harry and Draco leads startling personal revelations and happy snogging-times

*SO MUCH LOVE ~~squeeeee! ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror trainee!Harry, Unspeakable!Draco (Redeemed!Draco), Auror!Ron. There's just one more obstacle in Harry's way before becoming a fully fledged Auror: the Maze of Lost Thoughts; a magical maze that tests a person's psyche. In Harry's case, it's a test to help him confront and move on from his past regrets/mistakes. He bumps into Draco while inside the Maze and things took a very interesting UST-y feel :D Featuring a redeemed!endearingly mature!Draco, a angry!frustrated!Harry (the poor darling has lots of unresolved issues), a supportive!Ron, some emotional insecurities/trauma on Harry's part, Draco's memories and pensieves, the Unbreakable Vow, Draco's scars and a happy ending. Plus some kissy, huggy sexytimes.
#No penetrative sex scenes.

Summary: The Maze of Lost Thoughts is the most feared trial for the Auror trainees.

*UBER CUTENESS ♥♥♥♥♥
Veela-by-potion!Draco (also a freelance potions researcher), Auror body guard!Harry. Tee hee! Basically Harry guards Draco from being sexually assaulted by perverts while Draco tries to find an antidote to his Veela dilemma, and then, halfway through Harry notices Draco's getting sicker and naturally Harry saves him :p Noble!Draco... and it's sort of endearing to read about him that way.

Summary: "Let me get this straight," Harry peered at Dawlish over the top of Malfoy's case file "Malfoy's brewed a potion that, erm, bottles Veela characteristics, and has without proper testing, research or Ministry approval ingested it?" Harry paused, waiting for Dawlish to nod before continuing, "Now you want me to guard him from the sexual advances of hormonally crazed bystanders, while he works on making an antidote?"

"Excellent, Potter. You were paying attention. That's the second time this week."

*Deliciously angsty but with a happy, fluffy ending! *loves* ♥♥♥♥♥
Very unique and original plot when it comes to the clashing/merging of different Universes or Alternate Universes kind of plot. A nice blend of Potter-verse Epilogue compliant and a new Alternate Universe without Harry's existence (in which no one remembers Harry except for Draco). Basically, Draco realizes one morning that his entire universe has changed and that his best friend and the love of his life, Harry Potter no longer exists in his world and he wants some answers. Most of the Harry/Draco parts were told from Draco's flashbacks prior to the sudden plunge into an Alternate Universe. Contains Harry+Draco friendship in the Epilogue compliant world even though they both loved each other in secret (because they're both married with wives and children). Cute Scorpius. A teensy bit of Astoria bashing. Harry being blessed with the power of Old Magick. James and Lily Potter's (Harry's parents) sad, so very sad fate (Okay, I'll admit I find parts with James and Lily very painful to read *sniffles*). Warning for suicide but there's a happy ending for everybody, especially Harry and Draco. #No sex scenes

Summary: One day, Draco woke up in a world where Harry Potter didn't exist.

*Healer!Draco specializing in Memory Magic (one of the foremost experts in the field). Professional Quidditch Player!Harry in a cursed-induced coma. Contains a very charming, slightly vulnerable and rather lonely Harry (as he pines after Draco). Also, Harry has his memories addled by an assailant which lands him in Healer!Draco's care. Weasley bashing - minus Ron, his wife Hermione and George. Supportive Ron/Hermione and George who knew about Harry's "secret love" (aka Draco). Harry's crazy stalker fans. Draco has nightmares. #No penetrative sex.

Summary: Because Potter could give him prestige and power again if he cured him of this coma. That was all. Or so Healer Draco thought before he started looking into Harry Potter's memories.

*LOVES!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Stubborn!Ron who refuses to believe that Harry is in love with Draco.... until someone had to dose him with a potion that makes him really SEE Harry and Draco up close and intimate. Yup, voyeur!Ron while Harry makes love to Draco.

Summary: Ron keeps waiting for Harry to end things with Draco until circumstances beyond his control force him to see things for what they really are.

*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.
