6. What Happens Now? by @teamalphawolfsquadron [M, 88k]

8. Trying New Things by lindenwaverly [E, 76k]

►University, as Hermione keeps insisting, is a time for trying new things. For Harry’s friends, that seems to involve a bewildering array of things: collecting a Ravenclaw harem, drinking in Muggle pubs, developing new and terrifying feelings for your best friend, Muggle philosophy, something called a “slippery nipple” and Blaise Zabini whispering terrifying things about “expanding sexual horizons.” For Harry himself, it mostly involves dealing with f*cking Malfoy.

9. The Love That Follows series by motleygrrrl [M, 74k, 2 works]

►When Harry returns to Hogwarts for his final year, the last thing he’s expecting is for Draco Malfoy to approach him.

Thank you so much to alejandrasnow who recommended Turning Leaves by Kbrick to me.  I read it and it is so good I need all of you to check out this beautiful fic. Draco is in love with Harry but after a one night stand, Harry decides to be a real jerk. Draco is so desperate that he uses an experimental time turner to fix their past and possibly win Harry’s affection. Things don’t quite go according to plan. No spoilers, but this fic is REVOLUTIONARY in regards to time travel. If you like time travel, jealousy, minor Draco/Charlie, truly beautiful friendships, and above all gut-wrenching pining, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND READ THIS FIC. It was just published in 2021, so its relatively unheard of and I’m trying to spread the word. I would compare it to Tea and No Sympathy by who_la_hoop, which is a fandom classic. THERE IS A HAPPY ENDING FOR HARRY AND DRACO DO NOT LOSE HOPE! In case I haven’t sold you by now, here is an excerpt from Chapter 1 (yes, Harry is an asshole):

“I wish…” Potter began, sighing. “I wish things were different.”

“Oh?” said Draco, arching an eyebrow. “What things, exactly?”

A helpless shrug.                

Draco growled in frustration. “Oh for Merlin’s sake! Why don’t you just say what you mean, Potter? That you wish I were different!”

Potter was shaking his head, his expression strange. “No, that’s not - ”

“A more interesting question,” Draco interrupted, “would be how different I would have to be to be good enough for our Savior. If I simply hadn’t done this to myself,” he yanked up the sleeve of the robe, exposing his dark mark, and felt a sick sense of triumph when Potter flinched, “could we run off into the sunset together? Or would it require more? Perhaps you’d like it if I had a different family, a different name. Or perhaps if I were nicer, hm? If I were nicer, then we could live happily ever after.”

“Or maybe…” he continued, properly worked up now, his voice softer and yet somehow more menacing, ”…maybe you’d like it if there were an entirely different person inside this shell you so enjoy gawping at and fucking, eh Potter?” He took a step forward and Potter took one back, still shaking his head.

“Now, if we’re done chatting, kindly get the fuck out of my house,” he finished, his voice low and perfectly cold.  It sounded, he realized with some amount of horror, almost like his father’s.
