My AO3 Wrapped: 16 Drarry Recs
This year I’ve embraced a change of pace and read way less than I intended to. This made me feel a bit disconnected from fandom but also allowed me to put this list together in record time so let’s not complain too much 😂 this is shorter and lacking my usual commentary but I didn’t want to break the tradition of sharing my fave reads of the year! Be it for their creativity or peak romance, these 16 amazing fics made my heart beat faster and got me even more in love with Drarry. I’ve read most of them in the first half of the year and it was interesting to see so many fics over 40k, as my usual sweet spot is 10k - 20k. I love the mix of tropes featured here and am very excited to rec authors I’m reading for the first time. ps: I haven’t included any Erised fics since the fest is still ongoing.
Thank you dear creators for sharing so many brilliant works with us this year! 2023 wasn’t my best year fandom-wise, but life has been so generous in other areas that I can’t help but feel humbled today. I wish everyone a lovely start to the new year! As always, please mind the tags and take some time to shower these authors with the appreciation they deserve. Oh, and stay tuned for a rare pair list sometime soon ;)
🍆 Snug by @moonflower-rose (E, 6k)
8th year | touch-starved Harry | soft cock kink
Potter can't keep his hands off himself. Draco can't look away.
🧩 Muscle Memory by @corvuscrowned (E, 8k)
curse breaking | partners to lovers | memory magic
There's something just beneath the surface, just at the periphery of Harry's mind. They've been here before — they've done this before. If only he could remember it.
👹 draco malfoy's substitute murder service by @oknowkiss (E, 10k)
odd jobs | D/s undertones | open ending
When Harry joins the Curse Breakers shortly after his twenty-fifth birthday, he’s surprised to find himself assigned to the Department of Creatures, Cryptids, and Associated Calamities.
🏰 the earth from a distance by spqr (E, 15k)
time travel | Wizarding history | only one bed
“Well,” Harry said gamely, once they’d managed to find the Leaky Cauldron – still under construction but mercifully open for business – and he’d turned up a few knuts from his pockets, enough to get them a room for the night, “it could be worse.”
🎚️ O Come, All Ye Faithful by toomuchplor (E, 20k)
vicar Draco | established relationship | Church of England
Aunt Petunia died, that was what began everything. Or rather, Aunt Petunia was dying. In the act of dying. In which Draco finds faith in the church, and Harry finds faith in Draco.
🎄 Waking Up Slow by @sweet-s0rr0w and @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm (E, 22k)
shop owner Draco | summer romance | light angst
'Twas the night before Christmas, although it’s July / Draco’s a shopkeeper, no-one knows why / There’s hiking and witch caves, freak snowfalls and more / Bad Christmas jumpers, nosy neighbours galore / Narcissa’s here too, but… something’s amiss / And what’s in those chocolates that’s making them kiss?
🚬 Sun Thief by @floydig and BlackRose532 (E, 28k)
slice of life | fast sexual burn | dark humour
It’s 2005, and Draco Malfoy says, “Fuck the Ministry,” Harry works as a handyman in muggle London, and Draco should really stop pissing off the Squib gangs.
🍷 Winner Takes It All by @skeptiquewrites (E, 41k)
break up make up | down & out Draco | hurt/comfort
As with all his friends’ wagers, it starts small. Fifty Galleons for one kiss from Harry Potter is easily done.
🏖️ LA, Who Am I To Love You? by @epitomereally (E, 42k)
Draco in the Muggle World | pining Harry | recreational drug use
Harry’s summer in LA is not going as expected. Pansy Parkinson keeps inviting him to parties in the Hollywood Hills and harassing him to finally go to the physical therapist, Blaise Zabini keeps slipping new strains of his company’s magical weed into Harry’s pockets in hopes of an endorsement, and Draco Malfoy keeps having sex with everyone but Harry.
🫃Shine On, You Crazy Diamond by @lagerloutfic (E, 42k)
fwb to lovers | gay awakening (Harry) | mpreg (Draco)
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.
🚣‍♀️ Our Objective Remains Unchanged by @citrusses (E, 46k)
rowing AU | enemies to lovers | university setting
Harry Potter, returning member of the Oxford University Boat Club, has two goals for the spring of 2005: beat Cambridge, and beat Draco Malfoy. Perhaps not in that order.
🧶 Polar Night/Midnight Sun by toomuchplor (E, 54k)
cabin fic | wintery vibes | only one bed
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.
🎩 Nights With You by @the-sinking-ship (E, 58k)
holiday fic | fake relationship | mutual pining
Draco is mortified when moments prior to departing for the most anticipated destination wedding of the year, he is cruelly dumped. But when he learns that Harry Potter has, at long last, split with his horrible boyfriend, Draco is certain his luck has changed.
👮🏻‍♂️Rookie Moves by peu_a_peu (E, 75k)
auror partners | slow burn | humour
Aurors Potter and Malfoy crack the case.
🖼️ where all the veins meet by @saxamophone (E, 146k)
sad bois | Grimmauld Place | found family | 8th year
It's the summer of 1998. The battle is over, and Voldemort is dead, but Harry still has more questions than answers. Who is he without a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head? What is he supposed to do now?
📼 Always Already by @aibidil (E, 170k)
time travel | forced proximity | mutual pining
Harry and Draco are perfectly fine, separately minding their business in 2004, when the Unspeakables conscript them into service... in the First War against Voldemort.

Hi cbg darling! Sending lots of love. What about 💌 and 🍰 ? - Liv
Hello @sitp-recs thank you for the ask and the love, sending love your way as well 🫶
💌 love letters or poetry? love songs or mixtapes? make out sessions or snuggling?: Choosing between the two for the first two options?!!! 💀 both,, I literally can't 🙈 For the second, I suppose I'd lean towards love songs most times, and sometimes mixtapes (I mean I like making them!!) and for the third, snuggling!
🍰what’s your favorite dessert to eat? do you have a favorite to make?
Oh my god ok so there is this patisserie here that's absolutely my fave and I've been obsessed with their peach flavoured cream puff , it's just so bloody amazing. I tried a new dessert of theirs today, a citrus tart (photo under the cut!) and that was so good too!! They also do a wonderful passionfruit and mango mochi 😌
To make! I don't much but when I do, I love to make mug brownies and cinnamon cigars :)

^ here's the tart I tried today!

Hi Magpie! What about 3, 7 and 20 for the chill asks? Happy Sunday! - Sitp
Hey Liv! Thanks for the ask <3
3. favourite breakfast food
Eggs! I love eggs. I don't eat them very often for breakfast, though. My typical breakfast is slice of bread with honey and tahini (which I can't have enough of) and occasionally some spanakopita or tyropita (ready made, I don't bake it myself. Too much hassle). If I do have an egg in the morning, it's usually a boiled one.
Fried eggs are my fave, though. I drool now thinking of them. I often have them for a quick lunch or dinner when my fridge is empty.
7. things that always make you smile
Cats; my niece; being on a beach, sunbathing and swimming; the TGCF donghua; gorgeous fanart; cloudporn; reading a lovely comment on my fic.
20. a skill you’d like to learn
This is embarrassing. Although I passed my driving test over 15 years ago, I haven't been behind the wheel since, and I can't remember how to even start a car, let alone change gears. The clutch is the devil lol
I haven't needed a car until recently, but now it's becoming more and more necessary so I need to woman up and go get myself a car and some refresher lessons.
If it wasn't for this necessity, I'd prob answer singing or drawing as I'm crap at both but I really wish I wasn't :))
chill weekend ask game

at the movies
Hermione told them about Dennis Creevy’s new movie because it was part memoir and “Ron cried for hours,” so they watched it and Draco cried all over Harry’s shoulder over what he wished he could say to his mother. Things like, “I wish I understood” and “I don’t know why you still love me” and “I don’t know why I still love you too, but I want you to know, I do.”
Last month Draco watched a movie with Pansy about two friends who fell apart when one fled to France during some war that wasn’t theirs. “I was seventeen. I didn’t have a choice,” the actress had said, her lower lip a tremble. Pansy sat unblinking at the screen, so still she must have been holding her breath. Later she said the movie was “interesting”, and Draco agreed. Then Pansy said, “Is that a new coat?”
Now Draco wondered what she was holding in, afraid to say. If she had let anything out, maybe he would have said, “It’s okay, I forgive you for leaving. I understand.” But she didn’t so Draco said it to the credits roll instead, after she went ahead to the toilet.
Draco was sick of having conversations with movies when the people he wanted to talk to most were sitting right next to him. He turned to Harry. He wanted to say, “I wish you understood me half as much as this stranger’s movie.” But of course he didn’t. Instead, he said, “I hate Dennis Creevy.”

Draco didn’t fancy waking up a portrait. Still, it could’ve be worse — he could’ve woken up cold, like he did in Azkaban. Or worse — he could’ve woken up seventeen again —
But all that was over. Now, he was, dead. A portrait. Free of prison and Father and everything but dimension. Candlelight warmed the oils of his cheeks. He sighed, exhaling the last breath of life, before peering beyond his frame.
A bespectacled man sat looking up at Draco from a green velvet chair, newspaper open in his lap. “Hello,” the man said. “I was wondering if you’ll ever wake up.”

And wasn't that nice, to own something long enough to fix it.
The little digital clock had been a wedding gift from Arthur. Draco had never seen a timepiece in the shape of an apple before, let alone one that winked away the minutes in big, blocky numbers. Holding it in his palm, it felt too much like holding a beating heart. And what of those minutes slipping between his fingers? How many did he have left — was he doing everything he could, to enjoy them? Was he going to regret today like he regretted the first twenty years of his life? 
The world got better before it got worse again. He gained a mother then lost a father — well, he couldn't make everyone happy. But then one of Father's old friends — one of the nastier ones — ran for Minister and won, beating Granger, and, well — what was he to do? He only had one ballot. It hurt if he thought ahead too much so he thought he would live in the present. Minute by minute until the minutes hurt too, so he went smaller, to the second, the half-second, the quarter. His whole life they said, think small. Live in the now. What can you do? You're only one person. Why think ahead when you could count the seconds instead.
The world got worse before it got better again. Almost before he knew it, it was summer, the kind of summer that sat heavy in his bones and time itself slowed; one minute blending into the next until the numbers faded completely off the little apple clock. Draco found it sitting dead on the shelf and the first thing he did was close his eyes. He breathed in very softly, his heart beat in his ears, building louder and louder until it crashed, like a wave, then washed away. What he felt was akin to relief, but more. It was like he was waking up from a deep hibernation. He could hear the birds now, and Harry, doing something in the garden, and his first thought was that if he died in this very moment he would die happy. And yet at the same time, his mind wandered outside, wanting more. He pictured the dahlias at their showiest; the peach tree, once a small specimen in Snape's study, now tall and bearing fruit. How grand the tree would grow in another ten years, gnarled branches like the whorls of gray that had already begun to take root in Harry's hair. Draco would be happy to die that day too, and the day after that, until the days blended into a lifetime, impossible to count.
Draco was at his desk when Harry came in later that afternoon. Granger was campaigning again, her relentlessly bushy hair all over the front page of the Prophet. "She's going to win this time, I know it," Draco said, looking up when he heard Harry's footsteps approach.
Harry held the broken clock in one hand and two batteries in the other. He turned the clock around and took out the old batteries before sliding in the new ones. Then he turned the clock back around again. The numbers flashed 00:00 before he set them to a time closer to but not quite "now". It was a few minutes slow. Draco didn't correct him. Together, they watched the minute blink forward. Then Harry said, "All better now, isn't it?", and he was right.

Another Halloween
Draco was already having a bad day when Harry Potter showed up at Pansy’s flat. Draco loved Pansy but she could be a pandering swot when it came to wanting people to like her. “I’m tired of fighting,” Pansy said when Draco accused her of selling out to the golden Gryffindicks. Then she said, “Ron does have a rather nice cock,” and fluttered her falsies at the oafish freckle from across the room.
“You’re disgusting,” Draco said. He readjusted his peridot jewel circlet and pointedly did not look five inches to Weasley’s left, at you-know-who. Not You-Know-Who, but you know who, that giant pillock who vanquished You-Know — oh never mind.
(Side note: isn’t it rather funny how vanquished is a euphemism for killed? As if utterly destroy the existence of something terrible was more palpable than simply killing it, though either would accomplish the task equally well.)
Pansy bristled, sneering. “I’m not the one pandering to Granger in the house-elf costume—”
“I’m not a house-elf, I’m a hot fantasy Tolkien elf!”
“—but you don’t see me shaming you for it. Be a pal for once, slap on a smile and help me get laid.” She said the final words behind gritted teeth, as the Golden Gryffinduo had begun ambling over.
“Nice party,” Weasley said. He was wearing a 100% polyester red M&M costume, except he’d flipped the costume upside down so the M was a W. Clever, for a Weasley. Clever particularly when standing next to Potter, who was dressed in the same vampire costume he had worn to Blaise’s party last year. Not that Draco kept tabs on what Potter wore. Merlin, no. Draco was about to say something snide just to accentuate the point (to himself), but then he noticed Potter was also looking at him. Rather intensely.
“What is it,” Draco said, tucking a nervous strand of hair behind his artificially pointy ears. “Have I got something—”
“Your ears are as pointy as your chin,” Potter said. Then he blushed. Which was so surprising that even human motormouth Pansy paused in what she was saying to Weasley (something about she’d bought every last plastic cauldron from Tesco’s). After a beat, she abruptly grabbed a freckled arm and said, “Come, let’s have you buy me a drink.”
“But they’re your punch cauldrons,” Weasley said, pointing to the plastic cauldrons that Draco and Pansy had filled only an hour earlier with promises of a good time (fruit punch and patron).
“You can Venmo me,” Pansy said. She led the man away with an exasperated glance back at Draco, who smirked at her until he realised she’d left him alone. With Potter. Who was still determinedly staring at Draco with a bewildered expression on his face.
“Are you high?” Draco asked. Harry—sorry, Potter—certainly looked high, but that could be from the red lights strobing over his face . The entire flat was lit up like a club, which was to say, not very lit at all (Pansy had read somewhere that red lighting not only diminished the appearance of pimples but also stoked libidos).
“I can’t get high,” Potter said.
“What?”
“Yeah, I know, it’s a weird side effect of dying and coming back to life. Something about the resurrection stone counters all poisons, and most drugs are unfortunately a form of poison—”
—but Draco was thinking about last Halloween, when they’d been drunk and Draco had blown him in Blaise’s bathroom, or the time when they’d smoked so much pink kush, Potter had said he loved Draco, but of course that couldn’t be true, because Harry (sorry, Potter) had been high, except he couldn’t get high because of course he couldn’t, he was Harry bloody Potter—
“I’m too sober for this conversation,” Draco said.
Potter smiled back, a little dumbly, mostly sad. That made Draco sad too, which was also sad.
“You sure you can’t get.. uh, intoxicated?” Draco asked.
“Not really, no.”
“Then why do you come to these things?”
Potter stared at Draco just long enough for Draco to realise he was a fool for asking. But Draco still couldn’t really believe that Harry would be interested in him. Then he thought — fuck it, it was Halloween. He’d believe anything once. So he said, “Want to get out of here?”

My #1 post of 2022
handsomer & handsomer still
"It's just a summer fling," Draco had told Pansy in June, but in January the weather turned a handsome silver and Harry handsomer still, his silhouette cutting across Draco's bedroom walls like an omen, a prophecy, except good. Wanted. Draco'd forgotten the word for the anticipation of good things, things that didn't rot or sour over time. His parents married for love but had long slept in separate bedrooms, and Draco never slept in another man's bed long enough to fall asleep; not before Harry, who was the exception of all exceptions in Draco's unexceptional life.
"The light is beautiful when it shines on you," Draco said when the sun dusted gold over Harry's dark lashes. Harry replied with something not funny enough to retell, and yet Draco couldn't stop laughing until Harry joined in too, and off they fell, down the rabbit hole into that weightless, belly-flipping kind of love.

HD Erised 2023 - Sitp recs
Hello hello! I’ve been trying to get back into the reading zone and Erised came at the perfect time. I thought I’d share my favorites as I slowly make my way through it, mostly to keep track of my reads and also because it’s been so long since I did a fest list (please don’t mind my very much incomplete Fan Fair list while I kick off another one 🙈 so much to read, so little time!). These were great fun and I can’t wait to see what’s coming up next!
🧹 Clear Skies, Full Hearts by @sorrybutblog (E, 16k)
Harry loves everything about playing professional Quidditch – the rush of flying, the rush of winning, the rush of getting off with rival seeker Draco Malfoy. Harry’s the highest scoring rookie Seeker in the history of the League. He’s also, inexplicably, obsessively, hooking up with Draco. When Draco unexpectedly quits the League and disappears from Harry’s life, Harry doesn’t stop wondering what it all meant and if he’ll ever get another chance to find out.
🪴 solemates by @shiftylinguini (E, 17k)
It starts because Harry has no self-control when it comes to meaningless and entertaining competition. Actually no, that's not quite right. It starts because Harry is absolutely plastered.
🎨 Thickets by @wolfpants (E, 17k)
When Draco returns to the UK after two decades of building his career as an internationally-renowned artist to look after his ailing, estranged father, he crosses paths with his former flame, Harry Potter, in the most unexpected way.
🚎 Sugarplum by @mallstars (E, 27k)
"Draco," said Potter, a little breathless, a little cheerful. "Hi." He smelled of coconut lotion, Cockroach Clusters and a sloppy ironing charm, his scent crowding Draco's overworked mind from the moment he stepped onto the bus. Lifting one hand off the steering wheel, Potter gave a small wave. He wore gloves. Fingerless, the leather black against the sunlight. Leather. In August.
🧶 we have heard on high by @oflights (E, 34k)
Reeling from the fallout of a bad breakup, Harry decides to find out who his soulmate is. The bad news: it's Draco Malfoy. The good news: Malfoy doesn't seem to know they're soulmates. The worst news: Harry might be falling for him anyway.
🇫🇷 À Bon Chat by @oknowkiss (E, 35k)
Draco Malfoy didn’t intend to lead a life of crime after the war. It’s just that being good had turned out so incomprehensibly boring. Now he's thirty-five, a fully redeemed member of society, the darling of the wizarding social pages, and a newly minted consultant for Gawain Robards' Investigative Research division. In his spare time, he enjoys good whisky, casual sex, and moonlighting as an art thief.
🥘 Nothing Gold Can Stay by @moonflower-rose (E, 40k)
One summer evening, Harry Potter vanished in the middle of dinner with his friends. Four days later he came back. Sort of. Draco Malfoy is on the case.
🐺 Jasmine in Bloom by @lqtraintracks (E, 41k)
This is not something Draco can have in his life… Potter overturning all that he’s carefully cultivated. They’re not compatible and never will be. Draco’s been playing with fire. It just so happens that he likes how Potter smoulders before being allowed close enough to burn.
⏳The Unplottable Time Conundrum by @writcraft (E, 45k)
When the past starts bleeding into the present at Grimmauld Place, an old academic article pulls Draco Malfoy out of his life of luxury. Haunted by the memory of a fleeting post-war kiss and thrust into the ghostly spaces inhabited by Unspeakable Harry Potter, Draco’s easy life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.
🪩 Never Mind the Bollocks by @the-sinking-ship (E, 118k)
If someone told Harry six months ago that by autumn he would be single, living on whisky and toast, and dancing the night away with Draco Malfoy, he would have told them to get their head checked. And yet, here he was.

My first Five Faves of the year. It's been A While, I know. I have drafts for others in the pipeline, and then @oknowkiss went and posted two bangers within a couple of weeks and it all went out the window because I just had to go all oknowrec, ya know? Look, whenever I read anything that I ADORE, the first people to hear about it are always my buddies @tackytigerfic and @sitp-recs - and you know I mean it when it's full on caps lock raving DMs - see also @wolfpants' The Hollow and @moonflower-rose's Pissing For England (reclists for both authors hopefully coming soon!) I swear I must have spent a full week going on about the first Elaine fic I read, any day now. I mean, truly, I went through all the emotions with that one: elation at finding such an amazing author, grief at my own inadequacy, anger that it was over - it was a rollercoaster, believe me.
Elaine's turn of phrase is always spot on, her inventiveness in world-building is second to none, and her fics somehow seem to retain this fabulous lightness of tone that keeps things just on the right side of heartbreakingly raw. She's undeniably hugely talented, and now has a fabulous AO3 back-catalogue for you to sink your teeth into, so please waste no more time in checking out her fics!
Read oknowkiss' work here on AO3!
💋 Historians (E, 30k, fake relationship, Gryffindors (and some hangers on), bad skiing, bunk beds, hot tubs, getting together)
Summary: It’s the Dumbledore’s Army Reunion Holiday, and Harry’s found himself in hot water with his friends once again, after telling them he has a boyfriend he definitely does not have. In an attempt to fix things, he’s made it his colleague on Level Nine, Draco Malfoy’s problem too. Featuring a ski chalet in Switzerland, a pair of bunk beds, and an agreement that should’ve been simple, were it not for all the bloody feelings getting in the way.
💋 in between two tall mountains (there's a place they call lonesome) (E, 8.3k, Relic Chaser Harry, researcher Draco, campervans, treasure hunting in Oregon, inappropriately timed wanks)
Summary: In the shadow of a mountain on the Oregon coast, there may or may not lie a shipwreck, on which there may or may not be a magical relic, lost hundreds of years ago. Harry's been tasked with finding it, and Draco is there to take notes, and they're stuck in a campervan pretending to be married, and it's all going to be just fine. That's what Draco's gotten rather good at telling himself, anyway.
💋 any day now (E, 17k, prisoner Draco, Auror trainee Harry, secret codes, a feelings puppet, morally grey everything and everyone)
Summary: Draco supposes he should be grateful. 
The rehabilitation centres were the Minister’s idea, or that’s what the Prophet said anyway. Their stated objective is simple: to provide a safe space for low-tier Death Eaters and high-tier sympathisers to reconsider the entirety of their life choices. All guests–because no one is a prisoner here, the literature brags–are to be provided with shelter, food, clothing, and the guided support of a Mind Healer via a programme they call “ideological restructuring,” which is, of course, mandatory. 
OR: Draco Malfoy considers the circle.
💋 draco malfoy's substitute murder service (E, 11k, curse breaker Harry, various incredible mythological monsters, Christmas)
Summary: When Harry joins the Curse Breakers shortly after his twenty-fifth birthday, he’s surprised to find himself assigned to the Department of Creatures, Cryptids, and Associated Calamities.
OR: the one where Draco goes goblin mode, and Harry has a thing for monsters.
💋The July Tree (E, 52k, Eighth Year, Greenhouse Four, Draco Malfoy does Muggle Scotland, The Who, First Times)
Summary: Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail… nor well-meaning friends, nor questionable communication skills, nor seven years of hating each other’s guts can keep Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy from falling in love.
OR: It’s Eighth Year, and Harry Potter has detention. What else is new? Well, since you asked: Greenhouse Four and the Tree of Life, for a start, and then there’s the new shared Eighth Year common room, and Harry’s sexuality, and these pesky dreams he keeps having about a blond man pushing him into things…

!!! I see one of your fave drarry tropes is accidental bonding, can u pls share ur recommendations!!🤠🤠♥️♥️ I struggle sm finding fics I want on a03, I now how to use the tagging theoretically but my keywords never pop up 😭
i’m sure i’ve missed a few but here are some of my faves!! a few are arranged/forced marriage or soul bonds but i also love those so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ive found the best way to search is filtering the specific “accidental bonding” tag!! also @sitp-recs has an arranged marriage/accidental bond rec list
Aftermath of an Accidental Bond by @the-starryknight [T, 1k]
When you took the Mungo's third shift, you knew there would be weird shit. You just didn't expect to find the most recognizable face in the Wizarding world shoved into a hospital cot beside Draco Malfoy.
intertwined by @hogwartsfirebolt [M, 1.8k]
The night Draco Malfoy showed up, Harry thought it was another mind trick. Then, he realized that it broke the pattern. He’d never trusted, never loved, never even tolerated Draco Malfoy.
Bonds, Besties, and Boners: Draco Malfoy’s Guide to Getting a Boyfriend by @nv-md [E, 4.2k]
Draco and Harry are accidentally bonded while at work. Harry's thrilled, Draco's annoyed, and Pansy's doing everything she can to cause trouble. Can these two idiots figure their messy relationship out?
As Easy As That by @moonflower-rose [E, 4.8k]
Trust Potter to be the target of a rogue bonding spell from a crazed fan. Trust Draco to try and leap in front of it.
When The Party’s Over by @sweet-s0rr0w [E, 5.4k]
Parties aren't quite so much fun when you're accidentally bonded to your sworn enemy. At least, that's what Harry thinks at first...
If It Takes All Night by @tackytigerfic [M, 10k]
It's not the first time Harry's been the victim of a botched curse (that's one of the reasons he doesn't like crowds), but he feels bad that Malfoy had to get caught up in it too. So they're bonded. That's ok, they just have to make sure to be touching at all time. No problem. Because Malfoy smells so nice, and has such lovely shiny hair, and his skin is so very warm. But this isn't going to be a problem for their friendship at all.
How to Make Two Stubborn Wizards Kiss by @rubickk7 [T, 16k]
What’s a little accidental soul bond between friends? Harry and Draco can handle it like adults. Right?
seven for a secret (never) to be told by @piarelei [E, 18k]
One would think that more people would get into accidental wizarding marriages with how easy it is. Harry has seven chances to change his mind. If only he were aware of what is going on.
Lift Your Open Hand by @firethesound [M, 18k]
With Draco Malfoy as his assigned partner for the next six weeks of Auror training, Harry had been prepared for things to go poorly. But getting themselves accidentally bonded to each other in the first twenty minutes of their very first assignment seemed going above and beyond, even for them.
you’ve got the antidote for me by Kandakickass [M, 20k] (soul bond)
When Harry Potter unintentionally severs their soulbond before it can fully form, Draco Malfoy resigns himself to a slow death and decides not to burden Harry with a soulmate he's made it very clear he doesn't want. He's never been selfless before, but for Harry, he can try.
In Evidence of Magical Theory by @bixgirl1 [E, 43k]
When a hex meant for Draco accidentally catches Harry as well, they're forced to learn to understand each other in ways they previously might have thought impossible. In which Harry and Draco can't fight, so they fall in love instead.
That Old Black Magic by @bixgirl1 [E, 77k] (arranged marriage bond)
Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm — ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war... with Draco Malfoy.
Grounds for Divorce by @tepre [E, 122k]
Malfoy finds a coin. Harry finds a letter. A story about histories, a story about families. A story about a lemon tree somewhere in Upper Egypt.
Bond by AnnaFugazzi [M, 173k]
Mental by sara_holmes [M, 186k]
Harry has had quite enough of sharing his mind with someone else, thankyouverymuch. A miscast Legilimecy spell says otherwise.

twelve favorite drarry fic reccers
these are some of the lovely folks who have introduced me to fics that broke my heart, took me on vast emotional journeys, and made me laugh my butt off.  each of these reccers have different ways of presenting insightful (and often humorous) commentary, pointing out all the best bits of fic, and reminding me of all the lovely reasons I’m in this fandom. here’s a shout out and a thank you to these brilliant rec’cers! please thank your faves in the comments too <3 
@sitp-recs - Witty, thoughtful, and oh-so-carefully worded, each of Liv's recs brings out the best in the fics described. Each time I see a new post, it’s a must-read! Liv creates such a kind and affirming environment that feels so special. Her themed weeks have left me utterly weak, going back to the masterlists over and over whenever I need a new suggestion.
@eat-yearn-cry - From when I saw the first four masterlists floating around to the absolutely fantastic posts now, I feel so lucky we get eat-yearn-cry's suggestions! Each of her recs is brilliant and informed, hilarious and sometimes sarcastic, and so clearly her. It’s an absolute joy to hear these thoughts, it always sends me straight to whatever fic she's poured her heart out about.
@dewitty1 - Dewitty has such excellent taste in fics, and always picks the best excerpts to share to get my interest piqued.  I love seeing her masterlists across my dash and getting to see both fics i’ve read and loved and ones I know I must check out based on her opinion.
@thedrarrylibrarian - The ex-library worker and lover of organizing in me absolutely swoons at this blog full of gorgeously-tagged posts. I can see how much work is put into curating an excellent repository of fic, and gosh do I love it!  I'm so looking forward to more of the Happy Hour series.
@drarryspecificrecs - Truly, I do not know how this blog manages everything, from fest recaps to daily recs, to answering endless questions and searching for fics. I remain in awe daily at the amount of excellent and beautifully organized content this incredible blog shares with us.
@dragontamerdame - Though I know Ash is no longer doing recs (and looking at their art, I cannot complain, what a beautiful application of their skill!) I still find myself revisiting some of their old lists because they are so well put together and so detailed, each one feels unbelievably comprehensive.
@dictacontrion - I’ve been a fan of Dicta's writing almost as long as I’ve read drarry fic, and I came onto tumblr this year to find a vast trove of daily excerpts and longer fic rec masterposts.  Each and every rec is truly a treasure!
@hogwartsfirebolt - I absolutely adore HogwartsFirebolt's Netfics rec list, not only because it features some of my favorite fics, but what a brilliant way of sharing the fic love? While the taste in fics alone is impeccable, I loved the way this is put together -- I wish I could open up Netfics rn and dive into some of these shared faves!
@onbeinganangel - Not only does Marion share her beautiful embroidery with us, but she has chosen to use it to recommend fics! From the soft cotton of her What We Do In the Shadows rec to the threads of the others, they always make me run straight to ao3, and the fic recs are never amiss.
@zeziliazink - Zezilia's ‘fandom classics’ series, part 1 and part 2, genuinely feel like penguin classics I could pull right off the shelf, plus they’re full of utterly stellar drarry fics! I love how Zezilia has applied an excellent definition of 'classic' here and I wish I had a shelf full of fics like this.
@rockmarina - I've found myself cackling over Rockmarina's meme fic recs on more than one occasion, enjoying them for both the funny and the intensely dramatic fics. They immediately make me want to open ao3 because they are always, without fail, an absolute joy.
@queercore-curriculum​ - I'm not sure if Queercore would be considered a fic reccer, but each time I see one of the gorgeous, gorgeous binds on my dash, I have two overwhelming thoughts: 1) oh my god, wow, look at that (and that, and that, and that, as I scroll through each stunning image) and 2) I must read this fic right away if someone has spent so much time binding it. We are so lucky to get to see Queercore's craft!

I’m so excited to share something a little bit different for Happy Hour today! A fellow Drarry Rec Blog, @sitp-recs graciously agreed to host today’s Happy Hour! So I get to sit back and relax as she shares her thoughts about a fic that made her happy this week!
Sitp recommenced the Autumn Drarry Drabbles series by @peachpety (28,483 words total, rating varies from G to E).
Without further ado, I’m going to take off my hosting responsibilities, pour a butterbeer, and let Sitp tell you about the fic herself! Here’s what she had to say:
I’ve been wanting to rec this fantastic collection for a while because @peachpety delivers the best kind of comfort food and these have been saving me on rough days. So when the lovely Librarian invited me to write this week’s Happy Hour rec I didn’t think twice! I also wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate Peach, not only as a fabulous author who writes masterfully all kinds of genres, but also as one of the kindest members of our community. If it’s up to me, they’ll get all the love and appreciation they deserve!
This autumn drabbles collection is a refreshing and precious gift to the fandom, and everyone going through a busy or stressful week should treat themselves this Friday! The 31 short stories show Harry and Draco falling in love and falling together in the most varied, charming scenarios and I appreciate that many of these stories include their closest friends as a cheerful and supportive crew. The setting, the characterization, the dialogue! Everything is carefully well thought and executed, packing a lot of emotion and character despite the short word count. I’m amazed at peach’s ability to explore so many different prompts going from non-magical AUs to meet-cute and established relationship, always maintaining a light tone and those soft and sexy romance vibes, my favorite brand of Drarry these days. All prompts are autumn-inspired and fill me with gentle warmth, soft nostalgia and bubbling feels. I strongly suggest reading all the ficlets in a row!
I loved collaborating with Sitp for this list because she managed to rec something that I haven’t yet read by an author I also love! And maybe if we ask her nicely, she’ll tell us more about her favorites drabbles from this collection! Definitely go check out her blog and give her lots of love too for being such a fabulous host of this week’s Happy Hour!
❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️
Lots of Love and Happy Friday!
P.S. You can find this fic and the others that’ve been recommended during Happy Hour in my AO3 Happy Hour Sub-Collection! Or check out our wonderful collaborator’s AO3 list- Sitp’s All-Time Faves!

a 4-part rec list of my fave drarry fics - the thrillers, dramas, soft bois, and wankbanks getting me through 2020′s shitstorm
[yooooo the wankbank is hERE. & i would like to dedicate this final list to the patron saint of smut recs herself, @sitp-recs. many a 3am morn i’ve spent scouring her blog for quality fics in general and wank material in specific. her smutty week curation is unmatched. truly, this is h0rny-on-main solidarity.]
part 4: wankbanks
mood: for the very hot & very bothered, don’t worry we’re all unabashedly flustered here includes: fun sex, angry sex, kinky sex, tender sex! p0rnz without plots, bdsm fics, etc. but rly any fic with undeniably hot-as-shit scenes that make you falter mid-story as you embarrassingly mutter a quiet “...fuCK.” a heated gaze is thrown across a room (club, ballroom, classroom, battlefield, London street, you get it). someone is pushing someone else against a wall and claiming a mouth/neck. hair has been thoroughly mussed. fingers have been slicked. voices are hoarse af. a gasp a growl a whimper a howl a moan a groan. a mewl?? hell, even those. [all fics rated E]
Lucid by @dracoladon​ - 4k  “Hm. All this Greek mythology stuff is actually quite interesting. Harry will have to remember to ask Draco about it another time. You know. When he isn’t sucking his brains out through his dick, or something.” --lmaooo goddammit this fic is perfect. hilarious but also sexy af?? harry has a Thing for draco’s intelligence so he proceeds to fck him into incoherence. - 
just tell me when it’s alright by @bonesliketambourines​ - 23k harry being insecure about what he wants and draco knowing exactly what he needs. lots of hot rough sex interspersed with learning how to trust each other. but it’s that final scene, fucking christ. don't look at me im a hoe for overstimulation ok sksksk -
Sex on Legs in Six-Inch Heels by @tessacrowley - 9k curse-breaker draco in prada heels, solving cases whilst being imposingly attractive?? like first of all, step on me. second of all, keep scrambling harry’s poor h0rny brain, it’s good for him -
Catching the Niffler by @keyflight790 and @tsundanire - 10k 8th year party games, very randy and very reckless. every one has an exhibitionist streak. harry is egging draco on. draco is losing his shit. it’s a public wank to rule all public wanks. also there's a very hot pansmione moment?? goD it’s a great ass day to be a hyperventilating bi. -
A Touch of Silk by raitala - 4k harry has won a bet and draco has to serve him afternoon tea while wearing a dress and, well. harry has absolutely no cool when draco is being distractingly beautiful. the tension leading up to very hot, very silky sex is fucking perfect. we love stammering harry. 10/10 -
Moon-Eyed by @l0vegl0wsinthedark​ - 29k veela draco works at the dept. of magical beings and steps in to help a recently-turned werewolf harry who is being very broody about his situation. they are both extremely rattled by each other’s hotness. sexy times ensue. i've never been so flustered by just kissing. and when they finally get to it?? harry’s Thing for draco’s majestic hair?? goD yes -
Seeing Stars (brighter than the constellations) by carpemermaid - 7k quidditch-reporter, glasses-wearing draco losing his shit over hung!harry in the locker rooms during a post-match interview is just *chef’s kiss* -

BITCH, THE ANTEROOM SCENE??? i yelled. voyeuristic wet dream that leads to even more silk-shirted sex. what’s not to love here, honestly. -
White as Snow by @bixgirl1 - 19k harry and draco narrowly escaping death, stranded in a cabin, reluctantly talking about their Feelings but in a sexy foreplay way feat. draco’s knickers. it’s emotionally honest and hot as fuck??? extremely my shit -

Color Me Enamored by @peachpety - 4k “Well, now,” Harry says, voice gruff, “isn’t that hot as fuck.” --me, thinking about salt & pepper drarry smoking cigars and sipping whiskey and taking baths and getting all wet -
