Apple Ling's List: With Children

*Cuteness!! Like WHOA!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Non-magical AU. Super assistant/secretary!Draco. Cute Draco + Weasley bromance/friendship/hilarious boss+assistant (PR agency run by Augusta Longbottom) relationship. Draco's impeccable fashion taste (and the way he chooses his Weasley boss' clothes for him, because Weasley does not have a single fashion conscious bone in his body. That, and he kept staining his clothes with food stuff) Cute Draco + Pansy friendship (and gossip sessions) and the League of Snarky Secretaries. Cute toddler Teddy and big bro!Draco relationship. Andromeda dotes on Draco. Harry's love of all things coffee. Mean!Harry at first (but he has a very good reason for his asshole-ish behaviour, you'll see).

Summary: Draco is Weasley’s assistant. Except for the week he’s not. Whose brilliant idea was that again? Featuring offices in Edinburgh, an epic Measley Bromance (that no one will admit exists), several unrequited crushes, fantastical revenge scenarios, coffee snobbery, the dreaded – yet adorable – toddler terror, promises of organ swapping, a play about Scottish history (no one cares), sequins, and the League of Snarky Secretaries!

*It's Harry and Draco's wedding day!!! And it's wonderfully, adorably PERFECT! (Hilarious too! And very touching in some parts). Also, there's cute little Scorpius and Teddy.

Summary: It's Harry and Draco's bonding day. Draco has planned it all so obviously nothing will go wrong.

*Ex Head Auror!Harry turned host of a homely lodging/bed and breakfast sort of thing (a Cumbrian manor which also happens to be H/D's home), Potions Master!Draco. Established H/D (civil partnership). Ginny + Astoria friendship. Epilogue compliant with teenage Next Gen (everybody being friends with everybody with the minor exception of James Sirius... because he hates Draco's presence in his father's life)
#Basically someone dies, everybody suspects Draco did it, Harry does his best to protect Draco, Ron and the Aurors investigate, Draco angsts (and War-related fears start bubbling close to the surface again, leaving him tensed, worried and scared most of the time), Arabella Figg plays detective. Oh, and a scary but minor hostage scene and a (near fatal) injury scene.

Summary: "There's a dead Ministry official sprawled across the sitting room floor," I announce before collapsing into a chair at the kitchen table. "This can't be good for bookings."

*International liaison officer (between different wizarding ministries)!Harry. Social worker!Draco (working for the New York State office of children and family services)
#Story setting in New York (mostly). Basically, Harry bumps into a Cute!Domestic!Single father!Draco with two adorable sons (one, a hyper chatterbox and the other, small and quiet), was charmed off his feet by Draco's boys and Draco himself, decided to woo Draco. Featuring Lucius and Narcissa as parents who genuinely love Draco and misses him terribly when he "disappeared" post-war, Draco with a new baby brother, Draco with muggle friends and seemed to have given up magic for good, Domestic!Draco in an apron (with a baby on his hip) scene, fluffy first date (with a disastrous start, the result of Harry's naivety LOL!) and other dates with Draco and his boys.
#Story jumped a bit too fast from H/D just getting re-acquainted to falling in love and then getting married but it's still delightfully adorable

Summary: Seven years after the war Harry and Draco are living completely different lives, so what happens when their worlds collide again? Why Love of-course!

*HBP 6th year. Harry and Draco stuck in an orphanage in an Alternate Reality, with other orphaned children... but Draco remembers everything about his Hogwarts days while Harry acts as if he doesn't remember. Featuring a fatherly!Snape who genuinely cares for Draco, an unusual Snitch and necklace with a 'protection' rune, Christmas in an orphanage, flashbacks of Draco's childhood where Lucius is a caring father. #Mostly pre-slash and a bit of kissy scenes :p

Summary: Three Days before Christmas, Draco wakes up in a 1962 muggle children's home where he is told his parents have died. The only person he recognizes is Harry Potter, who claims to have no memory of Hogwarts or magic.

*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.

*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.

*Bottom!Draco. Am gonna just link straight to Dracogotgame's Livejournal because EVERYTHING and ANYTHING Harry/Draco by Dracogotgame is the EPITOME OF CUTENESS! ♥♥♥♥♥

And I physically and mentally incapable of just picking a couple of fics out of the TON LOADS OF GOODNESS that can be found in her lj. Absolutely fluff-tastic!

*Bookkeeper!Harry, grumpy!pining!Draco and a cute little boy. Oh, and best friend!Pansy :D #No sex scenes

Summary: It wasn't that Draco had always hated Christmas.

*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.

*Cute fluff and sweet sexytimes! Harry/Draco established relationship (married, with kids!). Draco is pregnant and he breaks the news to Harry :D #The graphic sex scene in this piece is Bottom!Draco but it was pretty obvious there had to be some 'switching' in their bedroom activities because it was implied that Harry had been pregnant (with one of their boys) at least once previously. Also, the author spelled Scorpius' name wrong.

Summary: "Harry, do you remember how many kids we talked about having?" "Errr...not really. I mean, James and Albus were planned but Scorpious was very much a surprise. I just sort of figured that at some point you'd let me know if and when you wanted to have another one," he replied, moving to sit up in bed himself. "Why?"

*SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS!!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Epilogue compliant. Harry cheats on Ginny with Draco... and he falls in love, deeply. Definitely one of the loveliest Epilogue compliant Drarry fics ever!

Summary: 'You saved my life once. Now I'm saving yours.

*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.

*CUTE!!
Past Oliver Wood/Harry. Albus Severus and Scorpius scheming to match-make their fathers together. Sexy kitchen sex!
#Bottom!Draco sex scenes but past mpreg!Harry (very mild, blink and you will miss it)

Summary: Albus and Scorpius scheme to get their newly divorced fathers together

*SWEET FLANGST!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Guest speakers at Hogwarts!Harry and Draco. Draco is also an expert on Dark Arts, especially on magical (cursed) fire - Fiendfyre. Draco + Pansy = best friends. Cute side pairing: Ron/Pansy. A little bit of Draco/OMC. Draco has a cute talkative mirror in his room (the mirror soothes him every time Draco has nightmares or bad dreams). Draco's fear of fire and smoke... and of suffocating (Draco has panic attacks). Naughty students with pureblood bigotry. Draco has issues with commitment. He's also insecure and doubtful of the idea of him and Harry together. Missing students and kidnappings. Harry and Draco saves the day!

Summary: Draco is the wrong man for the job. Potter is insufferable. And as if it all wasn't bad enough, who the hell died and made Draco hero for a day?

*SO AWESOME!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Told from Draco's pov. (Bestseller!) Cheesy romance author slash author of his own autobiography (another bestseller)!Draco. Hopelessly gay yet still respects and loves his wife!Draco. Astoria is AWESOME here. A bit of Draco/Astoria and Draco/OMCs. Scorpius as a quiet and good boy who is a little bit estranged from Draco. Head Auror!Harry and his sexuality crisis. Divorces and sexuality epiphanies and family drama and lots of alcohol and H/D sexytimes.

Summary: Draco Malfoy has written an explosive autobiography. Not only does lay bare his role as a Death Eater, he also makes a number of other shocking revelations. Harry Potter owls him, asking that they meet for drinks to discuss his novel.

*Flangst at its best!! ♥♥♥
*Muggle kindergarden teacher!Draco. Basically it's all about Harry's (and Draco's) fatherly relationship with an adorable baby girl named Daisy. A teensy bit of Ginny bashing. References to past abuse (sexual and more). Breaks my heart but omg it's soooo good! The fluffy ending more than make up for all the angst!

Summary: The baby in his arms isn't Lily. She isn't his mother, she isn't a memory, she isn't part of the blankness that swallowed up the casualties of the war. She's his Daisy, and she gives him the strength he needs to follow his heart.

*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.

*OMG THIS IS MADE OF AWESOME!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Dominant for hire!Draco. Auror!Harry (with a HUGE kink for being dominated). Brief mention of past Draco/Astoria and Draco/clients. Author's warnings include: Warning(s): hurt/comfort, explicit hardcore sex, PTSD, excessive use of the word "cunt"; drug use; RACK D/s; consensual violence, humiliation, voyeurism; mild BDSM; toy/prop use; orgasm denial; sub drop/afterfluff; mildly implied past/off-stage alcoholism and non-con/abuse; happy ending.
Basically Harry hires dom!Draco for hawt, kinky, super rough RACK d/s sex. They push each other's buttons, get mad, get horny, Draco gets too rough/violent with Harry (sometimes) because Harry has always had a knack for getting under his skin. Harry suspects there is more to Draco and his unhealthy habit of being a dominatrix sort of whore even though he doesn't need the money. So Harry pushes. They fight, have more violent sex, fight, reluctantly agrees to give their 'relationship' a try (without using labels or going public with it). This Draco has ton loads of issues and insecurities (possibly due to past abuse... hints of non-con). Best friend!Pansy (and Blaise and Greg Goyle). Little baby Scorpius and his adorable attachment to Harry. Draco's fast, really fast cars (THE HONEY BADGER!!!). Draco's leather collar on Harry. Harry's tattoo. Draco drinking too much and dabbling in drugs. Super protective!Harry. #Mostly Top!Dom!Draco with tiny bits of bottom!Draco.... somewhere.

Summary: "Love is like a Rubix Cube: there are countless wrong twists and turns, but once you get it right, it's perfect no matter how you look at it." Sixty-thousand words of pornographic discourse between two boys-turned-men that still haven't learned how to communicate like normal people - with words. Guest appearances by Pansy Parkinson, Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, Blaise Zabini, Teddy Lupin, Gregory Goyle, the Weird Sisters, ex-wives, several Weasleys, a Boggart, and a Honey Badger.
