Hey! Hope you're doing good!! :) I'm wondering if you know any Drarry fics that have mythological elements / stories as part of the plot. For example, a fic based on Greek myths like Hades/Persephone?
Hi anon! Iām doing great, what about you? :) oh thatās a really cool ask, I hope you enjoy these! I strongly recommend checking khaluluās stuff as they always explore different mythologies and cultures across their works. Iād love to get more recs on this theme, too!

Norsemen have ranged far enough inland to find Harry, alone and abandoned by his kith and kin. But they bring far more than danger with them, they bring adventure, they bring magic.

With the war finally over, youād think Harry would finally be granted that ānormal lifeā heās always dreamt about. Finally free from the Dursleys, from that nose-less megalomaniac, from Horcruxes, Hollows, Death Eaters, Dementors, Prophecies⦠youād think that he, for the first time in his life, would be allowed to be just a normal teenager. Youād think heād deserve that much, right?

Harry and Draco arenāt enemies any more, but it seems their history will always stand between them ā so letās try some other histories on for size! The fickle finger of fate is muffled in one of Mrs Weasleyās mittens. Did I mention kisses?
East of the Sun and West of the Moon by khalulu (T, 6k)
One stormy Thursday evening, a big white bear named Draco turns up to carry Harry away from the dreadful Dursleys. They get along fairly happily together until one night Harryās curiosity gets the better of him, and Draco is whisked away to his wicked auntās castle, East of the Sun and West of the Moon. It will take a strong wind to bring Harry that farā¦..
What Country, Friends, Is This? by khalulu (M, 8k)
When Harry and Draco are paired up for a nebulous ācapstone projectā in 8th year, Draco suggests they use it as an opportunity to take a free Grand Tour of Europe. Harry isnāt interested in being grand, and they soon veer off the beaten path. The journey to find what (and who) you really want can lead to unexpected places. (As well as Bertha Jorkinsā aunt, Illyrian Serpent cults, heroic baby Draco tales, and Slytherins singing Motown.)
Birds of Dreams / Remover of Obstacles / Guardian of Waters by khalulu (G, 12k)
Harry is exploring his Desi heritage, and Draco runs into him in colourful circumstances. Luna has a penchant for puns and the Patils watch Bollywood. Paper is folded, a flying carpet takes an Indian road trip, and a phoenix is found. Love blooms along the way, a flower thatās free.
Sparks from the Foxās Tail by khalulu (T, 17k)
Draco is frustrated with his career as a travel writer, when a mini-tirade from Mrs Weasley and an encounter with the portrait of an intrepid great-great-great-aunt lead him to Finland to study wandless magic. Harry is ā just being contrary and following his sweet-tooth, or taking the subtle route to saving the world?
The Hardest Hue To Hold by @cavendishbutterfly (M, 17k)
Harry needs to get the hell out of England. So he sets up a teaching assistantship in America, hops on a plane, and heads off to a fresh start. Except thereās a familiar face among the university faculty, and itās really not the familiar face that Harry wanted. Or at least, itās not who Harry wanted at first.
Offer Up Our Hearts by @tackytigerfic (M, 23k)
Harry Potter has a very nice life, thank you very much. He's a top Curse-Breaker with a lucrative Ministry contract, and exciting prospects ahead. Sometimes he does wish that he had time to pursue something official with Draco Malfoy - they're half in love with each other, after all, and a great team (in and out of bed), though Draco is still one of the most infuriating people he knows.
Memory Lost | You Found by @maraudersaffair (E, 30k)
After his Auror training, Harry's assigned to guard the Department of Mysteries - specifically the room where Malfoy is being held in comfortable captivity. Yet no one will tell him why, and what's more concerning? Malfoy doesn't remember Harry at all. To uncover the mystery, Harry must travel all the way to Egypt where he discovers a magical community living in the great pyramids and a long held secret that is dangerous to anyone who knows it.

Hermione frowned. āThe real question is why the magic of Britain would be failing now, in fact.ā āThat is not the real question!ā Ron said loudly; heād woken up fully by now, and Harry had too; it was starting to sink in that theyād found the problem. āThe real question is, how do we fix it?ā
A Sense of Scale by @fantalfart and dragontamerdrarry (M, 70k)
In which Draco spends an obscene amount of time thinking of new nicknames for The Living Git, lying to himself and using his charms to seduce an extremely uncooperative sentient school.
The Stars Have Courage by @fantalfart (M, 85k)
Draco waited five long years to watch his husband wake up from a coma. He's not ready to meet a Harry with no memory of anything that happened after he died at The Battle of Hogwarts, twelve years ago.
Close Behind by @oflights (M, 134k)
To rescue Draco from the Underworld, Harry has to look forward. Unfortunately, Draco has to look back.

Mushrooms of Wiltshire by @shiftylinguini (T, 5k)
There's no point unpackingāHarry's not staying long, and besides, there's just bundled rags in his valise. The illusion of belongings, of a man heading to a new position at a prestigious manorāone beset with rumours of old magic and of impish forest dwellers causing chaos and mayhem amid the phosphorescent toadstool glow. Bugger the job. Harry's here for the rumours. He's been chasing them for years.
