Apple Ling's List: Secret Relationship

*OMG! Uber cuteness!! ♥♥♥♥♥
8th year AU (Draco is a Spy for the Order of the Phoenix and Lucius and Narcissa dies). Told from Draco's pov - Draco-centric narrative. Basically, Draco is head-over-heels smitten with Harry (and every part of Harry's limbs) but is much too shy/confused about his feelings/libido to tell Harry. When Harry finds out Draco has a huge 'thing' for him, well... Harry keeps ambushing Draco all over the castle to kiss, grope and enjoy Draco's moans, squeaks, yelps, yips and all kinds happy noise :p Also, it's cute how Draco works through his sexuality crisis with endless babbling inner monologues about Harry (and parts of Harry's body)
#The lengthy, graphic penetration sex scene is bottom!Draco and a brief description of Bottom!Harry (bottoming from the top) right at the bottom (and right after the bottom!Draco part)

Summary: Draco worries about his libido. Harry takes it all in stride.

*8th year. Lonely!Bitter!Regretful-yet-still-prickly-and-defensive!Draco (and a little bit resentful for the way everything turned out for his family post-war), and a Harry who stalks/follows Draco all over the castle trying to help. "Vulnerable!Draco" tag is to make up for "Emotionally Damaged!Draco". Told mostly from Draco's pov. Sad!Pansy and Sad!Goyle. Featuring Draco being mean to others on purpose to make up for his "relapse" in showing vulnerability (which happens more often than not), Draco being bullied (a little bit) and shunned by other Slytherins, Draco crying or feeling on the verge of tears a lot, nightmares + insomnia + stealing potion ingredients to brew Dreamless Sleep, Harry trying to befriend a prickly!Draco, Draco writing letters to Ollivander but pretending to be someone else, H/D and some tricky bit of wandlore/magical wand bonding that has one of them experiencing the other's magic/dreams and H/D secret relationship, suicidal thoughts.
#Sex scenes all happen behind the screen so there's no way to tell who Tops/ Bottoms

Summary: There are things that Malfoys simply don't do. They don't cry, or show any emotion unless entirely unavoidable. They don't back down. And they certainly don't admit that maybe, just maybe, they might be wrong about a few things.

Draco's back for his eighth year, and with everything that's changed, these basic rules will soon be called into question.

*Rather OOC but it fits the story. Basically, on the night Harry, Ron and Hermione were grabbed by Snatchers and brought to Malfoy Manor, Draco decides to help them discretely... and also managed to get himself bedded by Harry (and subsequently falls pregnant). Voldie, Lucius and Narcissa thinks Draco's unborn child is fathered by Voldie. Draco plays along... and in the mean time, the war is in full swing and Draco tries to help Harry's side of the war as much as he can, discretely. Blaise as Draco's best friend. Also, Draco is very hormonal while pregnant ;p

Summary: When Draco sees Harry captured and taken to Malfoy Manor his feelings change. He is frightened and takes solace in the arms of the one person nobody would ever suspect. Draco hides the pregnancy from everyone who could use it against either Harry or himself. How does Harry find out…? What happens after that...?

*Basically Harry gets Draco pregnant in the middle of the war. Right before Harry goes Horcrux hunting, Draco pushes Harry away because of his insecurities and hides away in Hogwarts during his 7th year to protect his unborn child - he also joins the D.A. and befriends Luna, Neville and Ginny. Also, this contains some pregnancy angst as Draco battles his insecurities.

Summary: Set in sixth year, Harry goes to the hospital wing to apologise to Draco and ends up confessing his love. They both didn't know this could happen, Harry is stuck in the middle of the war and Draco has to figure out how to protect his family! Vague but hopeful ending.

*Timeline spanning from an alternate Hogwarts 7th year (HBP and DH didn't happen) to directly post-war. Death Eater Spy for the Order!Draco. Featuring Brave!Self-sacrificing!Smitten!Draco and a Harry who finds himself slowly, but surely, falling in love with this other side of Draco. Harry's also several inches taller than Draco. References to (past) torture and the resulting aches/shakiness/concussion from it (Draco), the Bone Breaking Curse (and injuries resulting from that curse), Draco saving Harry, Harry's brief sexuality crisis (concerning Draco's crush on him), supportive Ron and Hermione, secret relationship, coming out, moving in together, cute H/D moments, cute hurt/comfort moments when one of them came down with the flu, happy fluffy ending

A series of ficlets about Harry and Draco and their blossoming relationship.

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. Other memorable things to take note: Evil!Slytherins (and Lucius and the Death Eaters), Narcissa committing suicide, one of Draco's "other" personalities include a 6-year-old child, Draco has a penchant for climbing into Harry's lap for comfort or tucking his face in the crook of Harry's shoulder, Harry helping Draco get dressed/bathe... even lulling him to sleep, Ron getting angry at Harry, an old Black protection curse - the Ancestral Rite, getting kidnapped by baddies, having nightmares, teenage angst, teenage lusty hormones :p Happy ending
#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).

*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.

*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.

*Deliciously sexy ~~yummy!
Sexual experimentation. Professional sex worker!Harry (in a muggle setting) who is deliciously confident and at ease with his bisexuality (and his sexual prowess). Virgin!Closeted!Draco (when it comes to gay sex) who is adorably nervous yet enthusiastic at his first time with a man (Harry). Infidelity tag for Draco cheating on his fiancee with a male whore (Harry) to find out if he likes men. A bit of angst because Draco came to Harry under disguised as "David Mason" and Harry worries that "David" might have recognised him.

Summary/Description: He was a secret gigolo until a mysterious man hired him one night - a man who knew surprising facts about his past. Harry has left the Wizarding World and is making a living in a rather surprising way, but he loves his work and has a nice, calm life. Until someone who seems to recognise him appears on the scene - and Harry isn't keen on being recognised.

*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.

*AU from Book 4 onwards. Features cute big brother!Draco (Draco has an adorable younger sibling whom he dotes upon - a rather OOC!Draco but then again, almost everybody is OOC here, but not in a bad way). References to possible child abuse (the Malfoys, evil!abusive!Lucius). The Golden Trio befriends Draco and his little brother. Harry protects Draco's little brother from bullies. Playing Quidditch together, skating, swimming and generally hanging out together. Cute transition from (secret)friends to lovers.
#Mostly pre-slash, some cute kissing :D

Summary: "Great," said Malfoy, in disgust, "that's just great. That's the second time in so many days I've crashed at a sporting activity. I'm wearing a Weasley jumper of all bloody things. I'm skating with Harry Potter. And to cap it all off, I now have a wet arse. When did my life go so wrong?"

*Sexy and angsty and despite the infidelity, a beautiful love story nonetheless *loves*
Auror, then Head Auror!Harry, Potions Master!Draco. Unapologetic infidelity because H/D cheats on their wives with each other for years (starting even before Harry marries Ginny). Side Harry/Ginny and Draco/Astoria. Harry and Draco progressing from friends to friends-with-benefits to secret lovers. Cute Draco and baby Teddy moments at the beginning of the story. And then, cute Draco and baby Scorpius (plus Harry) moment. Harry/Ginny wedding (with a pining!Draco in attendance). Angsty moment with Astoria in the hospital and Draco close to breaking down.

Summary: Draco knew what his life was going to be like, there was never any doubt. He never expected to fall in love especially with someone who wasn't his wife. But, he did, and somehow, Harry Potter became the thing that kept him breathing.

*ROMANTIC, SEXY AND UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL *loves*
Harry and Draco work for a cozy little (muggle) workshop in Amsterdam that makes musical instruments. And at one point Harry tends a bar. Basically Harry took to traveling and touring aimlessly in an attempt to cope with the aftermath of the War, he bumps into Draco, they have super hot, sexy, delicious sex and then Draco leaves. Harry obsesses (and pines) over their one night stand and decides to chase after Draco.... and he ends up in Amsterdam where he gets a job in a quaint little workshop, the same place Draco works. Meanwhile, Draco pines hopelessly after his gorgeous ex while half-torn between wanting Harry and wanting to strangle Harry. Smoking, drinking, touring, partying, pining (Draco pining after his ex and Harry pines after Draco) and delicious sex!

Summary: After years of running away, Harry crosses paths with an all-too familiar face and follows him to Amsterdam.

*HD_Holidays fic :p ~SOOOO DELICIOUS~ ♥♥♥♥♥
DADA Professor and also the Head of Task Safety for the Triwizard Tournament!Harry. Dumstrang Dark Arts Professor!Draco. Head over heels in lust and pining endlessly!Harry. Lonely!Depressed!Recluse!Harry. Both men have lost so much in the War and each have his own set of issues to work through and yet, they fit beautifully together... despite all their flaws and the fact that they're opposites of each other. Realistic transition from "Stay away from me, I hate you" to awkward friendship to almost-friends to fuck buddies and eventually leading to a happy ending. H/D bonding over booze and sharing Triwizard Task notes (and deciphering the aforementioned notes). H/D infidelity because Draco is dating Pansy.
#Can't tell if this is b!D or b!H because the sex scenes happen offscreen but who cares! This is uber delicious!

Summary: The Tri-Wizard Tournament is returning to Hogwarts to mark the ten-year anniversary of the defeat of Voldemort. When Draco walks off the Durmstrang ship, Harry, now a Hogwarts professor, is thrown by an unexpected attraction. Over the course of the next year, he will have to deal with those feelings as well as the aftermath of the war, something he has put off for far too long.

*Non-magic AU. Victorian era. Author!Draco. Draco is the poster boy of the higher elitist society (and he calls himself a traditionalist), while Harry is from the common class who have successfully built his own reputation as the 'self made man'. Draco started off as complete berk: arrogant, selfish, and prejudiced towards those of the lower classes but then he gets nicer towards the end. Harry is brave and self-righteous, but also arrogant and demanding. Both traits, he honestly didn't realize he exhibits - or maybe he's so used to pushing Draco, thinking that Draco is wrong and therefore Draco must change (or least see things the way Harry does) that he simply didn't see that he's just as arrogant and demanding (and a little bit too self-righteous) as Draco. Draco is a berk but he's an honest berk (to Harry at least) and he never pretends to be otherwise. Elitist!Slytherins. Commoners!Gryffindors. Slytherin!bashing. # Basically Draco mocks Harry in his book, Harry retaliates and everything escalates from there. Plus, while digging up secrets to blackmail Draco with, Harry discovered that Draco is gay.... and to be gay at that time is a crime. Also, Harry wrote a book too. Happy Harry/Draco ending. #No sex scenes.

Summary: It’s 1895, and in the Victorian society Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde existed in, Harry works hard to rise in society. When Draco ruins Harry's status, a battle of societies begins.

*Hot, muscled!Quidditch player!Harry and gorgeous!svelte and model-like!physiotherapist!Draco.
Past Harry/Draco relationship (but still pining for each other). Harry's issues with coming out to the public about his sexuality. Harry having to take the first step to prove that he's serious about reconciling with Draco. Teary confession (that happened in a restaurant) by Draco on the real reason why he walked out of their relationship. Hot sexy back messages by physio!Draco. Cute little Teddy who calls Harry, "Daddy". A little bit of homophobic bashing. Supportive Ron/Hermione. #Lengthy graphic sex scenes are bottom!Draco. Heavily implied 'switching' though (bottom!Harry scenes are less graphic than bottom!Draco... all equally HOT, HOT HOT!!)

Summary: Harry's job is in the public eye but his closely guarded private life is not. When Draco is inducted as the Quidditch physio, will they be able to prevail as platonic and indifferent accqaintances or will Harry finally prove his worth?

*Cute established relationship fluff!! Undergrad students!Harry and Draco (different universities - Harry attends the University College Hospital, and works cafe. Draco attends the London School of Business & Finance, who is also a part time model). Harry and Draco have been together for years, and they've also been engaged for 2 years but their relationship was kept a total secret from friends and family. The secret comes out when Draco got into a horrific car accident. Harry worries over the possibility that his friends might not except his sexuality or his relationship with Draco. Happy fluffy ending :D #No sex scenes

Summary: Harry and Draco are living a fairly normal life with a fairly normal relationship, except for the part where it's, well, secret.

*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.

*OMG this made me cry! Poor Draco! *sniffles* It has a happy ending though - he has Harry and Harry will never let him get hurt again.
READ THE WARNINGS! CONTAINS PAST CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE (No, Lucius is NOT the abuser this time)

Fic excerpt:
“I don’t know how to say this, either. I’ve never really said it before. But there were a few times, when I was a kid, that stuff happened to me. I mean… what I mean is, the type of stuff you don’t normally talk about. I never really talked about it… I said that already, didn’t I? But it’s true.” Draco stopped and breathed in deeply. He still felt Harry’s hand in his own, and he squeezed it. Harry squeezed back.

*OMG bittersweet angst that's just sooooo good!
Brokeback Mountain-ish plot (sort of). Epilogue compliant but Harry and Draco meet up yearly for sexytimes. Angst and bittersweet moments.

Summary: One week. Seven days. One hundred and sixty eight hours. It's not much time. But what if that was all the time you could have with the one person you truly loved? One week out of the year. Would that be enough?
