"There’s something wrong with the serpents at the Greengrass Ophidiarium. Luckily, a certain Parselmouth just might be able to help."

Yours Truly by Skeptique

“Every single one of Harry’s exes has gone on to marry the next person they date, and with the upcoming nuptials of numbers six and seven to each other, Harry’s feeling exhausted by it all. It doesn’t really matter if he lets people assume Draco Malfoy is his boyfriend for a moment of peace. In any case, Draco’s been away for five years and there’s no way he would find out, right?”

See Me and Live by dodgerkedavra (everything by dodgerkedavra is an instant read tbh I cannot emphasize this enough, EVERYTHING)

“Harry and Draco are roommates. They're coworkers. They're secret boyfriends. And now they're having a baby together!?”

Daddy Issues by hoko_onchi

"Draco is enthusiastic about Harry's hot dad bod. And he makes Harry call him Daddy. That's it. That's the fic."

A Beginner's Guide to Living by kzwjhkdo

"It's been fifteen years, now—it's been precisely fifteen years, six months, and twenty days. A lot has changed. Draco is a photographer, working with Pansy Parkinson at her fashion magazine. He has a potion business on the side. He's grown, he has a carefully cultivated life, and he's sure to have a very normal reaction to seeing Harry Potter again."

Trouble With Your Tie, Potter? by tenthousandyears

"The last thing Harry expects when Slughorn partners him up with Zabini is Malfoy shooting them furious looks throughout the whole class and then unceremoniously snogging Harry in the corridor." 

The Way You Say My Name by InnerLilith

"In which Malfoy calls Harry pet names to get him flustered and riled up, and Harry gets flustered and riled up because he secretly likes it. The problem is that Malfoy is only teasing…or is he?"

Where I See Things Right by InnerLilith

“Honestly, once you’ve spent years obsessing over someone’s every move, constantly taunting each other, nearly killing each other— saving each other’s lives—” Draco had gotten quite pink in the face and was punctuating each phrase with his chopsticks, “Sex is the logical next step. Obviously. No other bridge left to cross.” He stabbed his chopsticks at Harry with an air of finality. “And I’m nothing if not thorough. No stone unturned, and all that.”

When Harry finds himself unexpectedly pregnant after a one-off with Draco Malfoy, he knows he isn’t keeping it. But when actually getting the abortion turns out to be more complicated than Harry expected, he finds himself turning to Malfoy for help through the process. And that’s actually much less complicated than Harry expected.

my notes: one of the first mpreg fics I ever read and still one of my all time favorites. Draco is so sweet to Harry.

He Who Must Not Be Normal by Lettered

“Molly Weasley used to have a kitchen like this,” Potter said, walking over to the sink. “When they lived in The Burrow. There were always Charms going in the sink, and pots stirring on the stove. It always smelled like—”

“I’m not going to have sex with you,” Draco said, finally finding his voice.

"Potter has fame and fortune and posh clothes and all he wants is a simple life. Draco has a flat and a cat and a steady job and all he wants is a complicated life. Which makes you think this story has something exciting like body-swapping, but it doesn’t. Instead it has Indian takeaway and a blue jumper and people wanting a whole lot of what they can’t have, discovering themselves as they discover each other."

my notes: this one is Draco POV and very Draco-centric, which isn't my typical go-to for Drarry? but it's still one of my favorites. Draco is really mean to Harry, especially in the beginning, but it's what Harry thinks he needs.

You Loveable Thing by ElenAndTara

"Harry's birthday has always been a sour topic to discuss. Harry has a ritual he's trying to break. Petunia's abuse is not fading easily at all."

my notes: This one is so sweet. Harry dealing with his trauma from the Dursleys and Draco knowing just how to care for him.

Two Weeks by shiftylinguine

If Harry had to guess which out of he or his Auror Partner, and tentative new friend, Draco Malfoy, would turn out to have Veela ancestry, his answer would be: neither, because that is ridiculous. Finding out the answer is actually him, and that his Veela heritage is wreaking havoc on his ability to work, sleep, and above all be in the same room as Malfoy, is a surprise to say the least. But this is fine. Harry’s been through worse, and he can just sit this one out, regardless of how much his body is screaming for the one person he doesn’t want to ask for help. Can’t he?

To Be Out On You Own (And Consumed By Another) by Cassiara

"By now even Harry recognises the pattern; he’d be an idiot not to. He’ll have sex, and in the moment it’ll be amazing. In the moment he simply is, he feels without thinking. Good, bad, pleasure and pain, he can just let go and feel because he isn’t the one in charge. Then he wakes up the next morning feeling disgusting and worthless and swears to never do it again. Still, it helps him forget about his stress, his anxiety and his hopeless crush on his Auror partner so he keeps going back."

Ten Thousand Reasons Why Not by lq_traintracks

Malfoy leans just an inch more forward, his lips nearing the shell of Harry's ear, and he asks, "Mind if I borrow that quill?"

Harry tenses, but without waiting for a reply, Malfoy steps even closer, right up against Harry, and reaches around, plucking the quill from Harry's numb fingers. As he does, the hand that rests on his hip slips around and tenderly spans Harry's lower abdomen, pressing in just a bit. Harry's breath hitches hard. Malfoy exhales at the back of his neck, warm and steady.

"That alright?" Malfoy's voice is so low and so close.

Harry and Draco are stand-ins for the usual witch who gives the workplace harassment and sexual consent talk to the Auror trainees. Or, a little tale in which Harry consents to be sexually harassed by Draco Malfoy.

Lusimeles by orphan account

"For a long while, Harry stares up at the pretentious silk hangings on Malfoy’s bed—the master bed in the master bedroom at bloody Malfoy Manor—and circles cautiously around the word love like it’s a dog that might decide to bite him. He thinks, maybe, reaching out to grab the idea suddenly by the scruff, that love is too small a word for what he feels when he turns over to look at Malfoy asleep."

Temporary Relief by akashingen

“What happened tonight,” Draco continued quietly, “was temporary relief during unfortunate circumstances.”

Harry forced himself very still. The warmth between them suddenly felt fragile. Stupidly, painfully fragile.

Draco exhaled softly. “I don’t want you expecting more than that.”

The words were careful. Polite. And somehow much crueler because of it.

Harry stared at him for a long moment. Then he nodded once. “Right.”

Draco’s jaw tightened slightly at the answer.

my notes: ummmmm this made my heart hurt very much and I was STRESSINGGGG for Harry the entire time but it's very sweet and beautifully written and has a very nice ending <3
