Summary
Draco Malfoy is an expert in Ancient Runes at Oxford University’s College of Advanced Magical Studies. When he isn’t at the head of a lecture hall, he spends his time alone in cavernous libraries with only crumbling scrolls and runic dictionaries for company. One day, a group of Ministry officials interrupts his research with the aim of recruiting him to lead an elite team of investigators in a top-secret race against time to decrypt a set of recently uncovered ancient runes that threaten the very fabric of time. Draco feels certain he can save the world, if only he didn’t keep getting distracted by his co-lead, one Chief Cursebreaker Harry Potter. If only that distraction didn’t evolve into something so much more.

Summary
Harry takes the DADA position at Hogwarts after a near-fatal Auror injury, expecting a quiet year close to his kids. What he isn't expecting is Draco Malfoy — four years into his tenure as Potions professor, sharp-tongued and self-possessed and nothing like the boy Harry remembers.
As Harry's marriage to Ginny starts to dissolve under the weight of things left unsaid, he finds himself drawn into Draco's orbit: joint lessons, Tuesday marking sessions that run too long, a Christmas that changes everything. Draco is guarded and brilliant and devastatingly competent, and Harry can't stop noticing him.
The problem is that Harry is straight. Or thought he was. And Draco — who has been quietly, hopelessly in love with Harry since sixth year — has built his entire life around the certainty that some things are never going to happen.
A story about second acts, the courage it takes to stop performing the person everyone expects you to be, and two men who spend an entire year almost seeing each other clearly.

Summary
Harry travels to arctic Norway on the trail of dragon egg poachers, only to find he's been assigned to work alongside the only NorMagPol Auror north of sixty: one Draco Malfoy. It's been ten years since they crossed paths, and Malfoy isn't exactly what Harry expected or remembered. For one thing, he wears a lot more hand-knits?
When a sudden winter storm strands the pair, unable to use magic to rescue themselves, they take shelter in a one-room Norwegian hytte.

Summary
In the twelve years after the war, Harry attends sixteen weddings. As friends and acquaintances vow their lives to one another, he watches quietly from the sidelines. Step by step, Harry pieces himself back together, builds a life from the wreckage of his past and falls, slowly and thoroughly, for Draco Malfoy.
A story told in sixteen parts, of patient and transformative love, of queerness, of reaching out and holding on. Featuring plenty of pining, Gilderoy Lockhart getting married in a fever dream of glitter and product placement, and Rita Skeeter spitting a steady stream of venom at Harry and Draco's every move.

Summary
“I don’t understand how this is of any concern to you, Malfoy,” Harry said, crossing his arms over his chest. Draco blinked at the use of his last name, something that Harry only used with him in jest these days. “I’m merely spending time with my Auror partner, who is from another country, and has no one here. I would do the same if it were you.”
“It’s not me though, is it?” Draco all but shouted, unable to stop himself.- Language:

Summary
"Three for three," Harry says. "All three of my kids. Just seems — well, and then there's Ginny. That's — sort of — everyone."
Malfoy's mouth starts to curl, not enough to bring out the dimples. It's on the edge of meanness, really. "Feeling left out, Potter?" he says. "The only straight one in the family?"
"Ha," says Harry, trying for sarcasm but winding up sounding a little forlorn.
"Ever wonder if it's hereditary?" Malfoy says, throwing back the last of his drink and going over to the bar for more. "I do. Seems like it might be, with me and Scorpius, and Ginny and your kids."
This, in fact, runs so close to Harry's thoughts that he laughs in spite of himself. "You asking me if I'm queer, Malfoy?

Summary
As post-war violence and tensions rise, it seems as if there’s no hope to unify the wizarding world. Except, maybe, a manufactured relationship between resident Saviour Harry Potter and known purveyor of the Dark Arts Draco Malfoy. (The fact that they detest each other is beside the point.)
But as Draco’s unrelenting mind games begin to wear him down, Harry has to remind himself that it’s all fake. The relationship is fake. The affection is fake. The pet names, the romance — even the engagement photos are fake.
But there’s something in Draco’s kiss that might just be real.

Summary
When Potter starts paying unusual amounts of attention to Draco as the holidays draw nearer, Draco can't figure out where it's coming from—possibly because he's gone stupid from all the fantastic sex. But what happens when he finds out that there may be another motive behind Potter's sudden interest?
Or: A fic in which Potter is hotter than Draco ever let himself admit, Draco didn't fill out that fucking form, and Pansy may or may not lose all of her hair.

Summary
Draco awoke in utter darkness. Harry awoke in uncomfortable light.
—
After the heartbreaking news of Malfoy’s tragic death, Harry resigned to the fate he’d embraced since the war: his bed. Cursing himself to wallow in his sorrows for all eternity, he mourned the relationship they could have fostered. That is, until Harry was confronted with the reality that Malfoy wasn’t as dead as he had thought. Inexplicably, Draco Malfoy had become a ghost. And Harry was the only person who could see him.

Summary
Draco raised his glass and clinked it against Harry’s, a clear note ringing out against the kitchen tiles. “To just not fucking worrying about it.”
Harry narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, “Your tone suggests you aren’t quite on board with the plan, however I’m choosing to ignore that.”
--
Harry has probably always wanted Draco, it just took him a few years to figure that out.
A story about the joy of discovering exactly who you are and how easy it can be once you do.

Summary
“This is where you’ve been living?” Potter asked quietly.
And as if it were a paid actor, a rat appeared from one side of Draco’s living room, paused in the middle of the floor to look up at them, then disappeared through a hole in the opposite wall.
“Why?” Potter turned to him with wide eyes.
Draco shrugged. “Told you my family didn’t want me to join the Aurors. And it’s not that bad, I promise.”
On cue, the rat reappeared from the hole in the wall, and sprinted in the direction of Draco’s tiny bathroom.
“Right!” Weasley said loudly. “Well! That’s that decided then. I think you’re coming to live with us, mate.”
And that was how Draco ended up living at number twelve Grimmuald Place.
-
Draco and Harry were friends. That's all they were, and Draco needed to learn to be grateful for that fact, no matter how much he wanted to reach out and touch Harry at every opportunity.
Friends. It would have to be enough.

It's summer, and they're spending it at a lake, far away from everything. There’s swimming and a floating dock, cracked and warm in the sun. Fizzy drinks and fireflies. Sticky strawberry ice lollies and beach towels tangled under them.

Draco Malfoy is doomed, but what else is new?
