Apple Ling's List: Pretend Relationship

*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.

*ABSOLUTELY SQUEE-WORTHY!! ALL THE HEARTS!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Best Trainee Healer!Draco, Trainee Healer!Harry. Classmates!Harry and Draco in trainee healer classes (because Draco's Healer license got suspended and he had to go back into training). Draco in casual, sometimes oversized clothes. Draco tutoring Harry. Lonely!Quiet!Draco who is always by himself. Completely smitten!Pining!Harry while Draco remains oblivious. Devoted father!Draco to a sick little Scorpius. New ministry law that strips past D.E sympathizers of most of their rights - Draco losing his job, Scorpius banned from getting medical treatment. Harry marrying Draco so that Scorpius would receive better medical care instead of being shunned for Draco's past D.E status. Portrait!Snape who helps Draco.

Summary: A series of attacks by a group of neo-Death Eaters causes the Ministry to implement a new set of restrictions on former Death Eaters and their children. When Scorpius falls ill, Draco decides that he will do anything to save his son, even if it means marrying Harry Potter.

*CUTENESS!!
Auror!Harry, Head of Magical Creatures Dept!Draco. Funny Twilight references. Attempted Draco/Oliver Wood. Past Harry/(super rich!)Justin Finch-Fletchley.. Going camping rich-muggle style with Justin and his friends. Justin's friends think Harry/Draco are together and they let them believe their 'pretend' relationship. Harry/Draco rooming together. Cute centaur foals (a bubbly little girl-centaur, an older rather petulant boy-centaur and another boy-centaur). Harry/Draco riding horses - Draco made the horses fly :D References to flying bunnies :D
#Mostly pre-slash and some cute fluffy moments towards the end but no sex scenes (yet). Too bad.

Summary: Harry has promised that he will not do anything to upset the new head of Magical Creatures. Even if it is Draco Malfoy. When three centaur foals appear in Cumbria, far from the Forbidden Forest and all too close to Muggles, Harry's promise is thoroughly tested. To say nothing of his equestrian skills.

*Cute!! Exactly what the summary says LOL :D #Hogwarts years (AU and Crack-ish) and no sex

Summary: Draco's been known to stretch the truth, but this time he goes too far: the whole school thinks he's dating Harry Potter. Harry tries to quash the rumors, Hermione counsels him on his sexuality, and he might just have the teeniest crush on Draco Malfoy.

*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.

*Career Choices: Draco: Grifter (Thief), Harry: Bounty Hunter ♥♥♥ Possibly one of the most creative and original fics I've read in a long time!! And adorably romantic :D
(Partially magical) AU. Contains Frenchaccent!Draco, often mistaken as an American!Harry. (Not quite)Robin Hood-esque!Draco. Harry waking up with sticky post-its, handcuffs and a delicious warm (and blond) weight on his stomach. Draco and his hats. Hermione and little blond girl. Ron and secretary Blaise. Scottish and Irish mobsters. Lots of action/adventure scenes. Lots of ust. Lots of yum.

Summary: Wednesday morning, 10:00 a.m., Musée du Louvre; the open exhibit of Leonardo da Vinci is suffused with smoke. Sully Wing Security has shut down the La Chapelle Exhibition Hall and ushered the public out, holding them on the ground floor. Security is praised when the smoke clears and everything is still in place. Crisis averted. Later, when they notice the young man on the security cameras exiting through the Pyramid with a casual grace and a small black canvas bag, they call the Police Nationale...

*OMG THIS IS SO, SO CUTE!! ♥♥♥♥♥!!
*Auror!Harry, Unspeakable!Draco = co-workers, flatmates, best friends, "secret pretend boyfriends" (result of Harry's rather silly plan). Helplessly pining!Draco with an oblivious!insecure!Harry. Also, Ron/Hermione are both very protective of Draco in sweet way. Some rather cute moments: H chokes on his tea and D rubs his back, H/D playing footsie under the table, H/D "jogging", D buying H lunch, H buying D ice cream only to nick some of it later, much to D's displeasure, Draco's "princess" nickname, H/D's plan to "come out" together in public - which involves a cute conversation about shagging and snogging in public, H sings a song :D #No sex

Summary: Consequences of Contradiction, or We Won't Say
"We Told you So" - Harry Potter is tired of his friends constantly getting the wrong idea no matter how hard he protests, so he takes matters into his own hands.

*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…

*UTTER AWESOMENESS!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!
Impressive characterisations of Harry and Draco!! Auror!Harry with a Draco who was a bit of a social-pariah in a pretend relationship. Plus cute little Teddy Lupin. #No sex on screen

Summary: Wizarding children have developed a life-threatening condition caused by an old curse. The cure is to be found in the Malfoy Library; surprisingly, Malfoy is willing to help, but only if Harry helps improve his standing in the Wizarding community.

*Auror!Harry and Herbalist!Draco. Cute, sweet fluff with the men constantly spending time in a cozy cafe with coffee!! Plus, Harry comforting Draco during a nightmare followed by sexytimes and Harry wearing Draco's clothes the next day ;D

Summary: Auror Potter goes to Seattle in search of a smuggler and discovers a very familiar person in a quite unfamiliar setting. Is Draco Malfoy really who he is pretending to be?

*Non-magic AU - American High School-ish setting. Misunderstood badboy slash rebellious teenager slash teenage stud slash musician slash amateur song-writer!Harry. Elite and privileged but a loner!Draco. Lots of teenage drama and angst. Cute side pairings: Sirius/Remus and Dean/Seamus. Past Harry/Cedric and Draco/Pansy.
Draco forced into rooming with Harry and gang (with Blaise), evil!Lucius, overprotective!Narcissa, cool parent!Sirius, loving!Remus, bitchy!Snape (but protective of Draco), minor character death, sexuality issues, homophobia, sneaking out of school to clubs, overindulging on alcohol, drugs, illegal possession of dangerous drugs, outed by the internet version of the Prophet, attempted rape, a Draco who smokes, a Draco/Harry/OMC love triangle (Harry in the middle), a Harry with commitment and abandonment issues, Draco with trust issues, Harry write songs and Draco's into photography.

Summary: Narcissa Malfoy knows her son. She knows that something needs to be done before he withdraws completely into himself, but when she interferes, she changes not only her sons, but another boys life as well...

*Pastry delivery boy/Minister Shacklebolt's secretary/undercover Unspeakable agent!Draco, Auror!Harry. Auror+Unspeakable partnership. ♥♥♥♥♥♥!!
A bit of Harry/Ginny. Past Blaise/Draco. Contains minor character death(s). secret case involving use of a poisonous potion with attributes similar to the Imperius Curse. A grown-up, mature, well-mannered, snarky and entirely efficient in his work!Draco. A Draco-worshipping!Kreacher. Harry in doggy Animagus form. Draco in human-transfigured furniture form. Draco using a female Glamour. Muggle bombs and suicide bombers. H/D stakeouts and kissing in a busy Ministry hall on Valentine's Day. #No penetrative sex on screen.

Summary: When the simple act of opening the front door plunges you into the depths of a political conspiracy, you know you should have stayed in bed.

*Auror partners!Harry&Draco going undercover as gay Hogwarts teachers (who are in a relationship). Sexuality issues/confusion. Cute petname/nickname calling. Draco = problem with vertigo. Banshee attack. Chamber of Secrets. #Implied switching but the only graphic sex scene within is bottom!Draco.

Summary: Harry and Draco are straight Aurors. Then they're gay teachers. It makes sense in context.

*Double agents!Snape and Draco. Harry/Draco pretend relationship (play-acting). Draco having severe (sudden) panic attacks. Draco having an unusual tactile sensitivity towards the feel of magic. Dub-con and attempted non-con. Insecure!Snape.

Summary: Voldemort gives Draco a mission to seduce Harry into an ambush - not knowing that Draco is an Order spy. When Draco and Harry try to turn Voldemort's plan against him, Draco realizes that his relationship with Severus may not survive the challenge.

*Aurors-in-Training! Harry and Draco

Summary: Harry is given an assignment: to assist Draco Malfoy as he carries out a month-long disguise that turns out to reveal more than it hides in the end.

Auror partners!Harry&Draco. Featuring going undercover as a hetero married couple with Draco as the 'wife', cross-dressing, scrapbook with Harry's pictures, unrequited love with happy ending!

Summary: In the quest to find fugitive Lucius Malfoy, Auror Harry Potter finds something else entirely.

Contains small exploding spheres, Wizard magical core robbery, a 'kinky' Christmas gift, a kidnapping, Harry and Draco in a pretend relationship and side pairings Viktor Krum/Ginny, Lucius/Narcissa and Ron/Hermione.

Summary: When Viktor is attacked, Harry and Draco work together to find the culprit.

*Pretty whore (by choice)!Draco, obsessive/possessive client!Harry. WARNINGS for a very unexpected (and Dark-ish) ending.

Summary: Harry Potter doesn't need a job, he's got enough money and he likes spending it on something very expensive.

*Featuring Auror partners!Harry and Draco. Very fluffy and cute and hilarious!! Featuring H/D pretending to be a gay couple as some Auror undercover mission.

Summary: Harry Potter was one of the youngest Aurors in history. He was the Boy Who Lived, and the Boy Who Lived Again. He loved Guinness and Quidditch, and hated pineapple. Harry Potter was also not gay.

*Cute fussy drama queen!Draco and loads of Australian slang. Harry and Draco going undercover in Australia - as a honeymooning couple! Basilisks, drug overdose and a crazy bad-guy.

Summary: Despite going to the other side of the world, sometimes you just can't escape from your past.
