the (re-)introduction of a prodigal drarry shipper + DMHP fic recs under the cut
Hullo! I'm @driina, your almost 30 friendly neighbourhood autistic insomniac who grew up with a special interest in HP and inexorably plummeted into drarry hell during her teenage years.
I've returned to the fandom after wiping all my content off the face of the internet (some of it must undoubtedly still be floating around, but I don't enjoy contemplating that possibility) and nearly a decade of quasi-inactivity. All I'll say about that is if you were around in the mid-2010s, we might've been mutuals and I'll gladly share my old @ in private to confirm or deny.
I'm back because I need escapism, plain and simple. Nothing soothes the tormented mind like an old special interest.
I've started reading drarry regularly again, and I've already begun writing a lil something, but it might be a while before I publish anything on ao3.
For now, I can offer a few scribbles βοΈ and share the best fics I've come across recently.
β
π Alright, here are the fic recs! β¨
Beware: for whatever reason, in my drarry renaissance era, I've discovered that I strictly enjoy reading DMHP. I've also apparently become a sucker for dom Draco and/or inexperienced Harry, so if you know of any fics with that kind of dynamic, please spread the good word!
These are in no particular order. Iβll keep updating this list as I find more favourites.

"The magic demands a sacrifice," Malfoy said.
"What kind of sacrifice?"
Malfoy's mouth twisted grimly. "A virgin."
Harry felt his eyes widen. "Killing one?"
"No, of course not, Potter," Malfoy snapped. "Don't be macabre. Fucking one." Malfoy exhaled with bitter disappointment. "Fuck. Rules us out."
Harry took a deep breath. His face felt hotter than ever. "It doesn't, actually."
Harry's had some terrible birthdays in his life. But this one - trapped in a cave with Draco Malfoy, and only one way out - has to take the cake.
Veil (and Red Hail) by rubygreene π₯βοΈ
Harry's undercover mission looks like a waste of time. If one was to evaluate time by the number of criminals he had successfully caught.
Deciding to accept Draco Malfoy's advances while fully aware Malfoy had no idea who he was flirting with, definitely wasn't a waste of time.
Just very, very stupid.
Veil (and Red Hail) II by rubygreene π₯βοΈ
Sequel toΒ Veil (and Red Hail).
The Red Hail has the wizarding community in its addictive, magical grip, and Harry has little choice but to go on another undercover mission to catch the bad guys. And for that, he needs Draco Malfoy's help.
AKA
Harry and Draco must (they must!) go to a dubious BDSM establishment and pretend Harry is Draco's obedient little pet.
Crutch by AWickedMemory
Harry has too much to do, and Draco, too little. The solution? Hire him, of course. Who knew Draco Malfoy would be such a perfect personal assistant?
ComplicatedΒ byΒ CopperCatbird π₯βοΈ
Draco watched as Potter took another sip of Weasleyβs beer, then winked at him. Draco heard himself make a small noise, then sternly told himself to pull it together.
βWhat is with Gryffindors and winking?β Blaise asked. βShould I start winking?β
βNo,β Millicent, Pansy, and Draco said in chorus.
Dracoβs just trying to have a nice night out at the pub with his friends; of course Ronald Weasley would ruin it by being disturbingly hot. Featuring Hot Ron, Hotter Potter, conniving friends, and two idiots finally finding each other.
ReparatioΒ byΒ astolat π‘οΈ
Draco snorted. βIβm not reduced toΒ penury. I want something considerably beyond money, and I rather think youβre the only one can give it to me.β
βYou want the Invisibility Cloak,β Harry said, flatly. Heβd half expected as much; it was the only thing he had that Draco could wantβ
βDonβt be stupid, Potter,β Draco said. βI want myΒ reputationΒ back.β
Heal ThyselfΒ byΒ astolat
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.β
βWhat course?β Draco said, then, βNo, donβt be ridiculous,β when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board heβd been staring at:Β Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizardβs Office By August 24th.
βOh, I thought you might,β she said. βWell, goodbye.β And off she wandered again in her addled way.
The Bonded FlaskΒ byΒ megreads99 π₯
When Auror partners Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are cursed to stay in constant physical contact, things get really awkward, really fast. It doesn't help that they're both vying for the position of Head Auror and yet, the pair canβt decide if they want to strangle each other or kiss each otherβpreferably not in front of their colleagues.

I'm running out of fics to read π if you're a DMHP writer and/or reader, especially if you have fics to rec, pls comment, reblog, message me or send me an anonymous ask, even!!
Prompt: #43 - Harry lost a bet. Now Draco gets to rail him, anytime, anywhere, without warning. Harry is more into it than he expected to be
Summary:
βYou know, Iβve heard about your famous dares, but Iβve never actually seen one that was very impressive,β Harry was saying. βJust that thing with Blaise. Youβve been refusing to play at all. I bet youβre out of practice. Lost your nerve.β
βOh, you want to play, do you?β Draco said, and if Harry heard the dangerous tone in his voice, he ignored it.Β
βIβve been saying for months that you were being dramatic, complaining about my dares. I think maybe youβve lost your touch. I donβt think you canββ
Draco took the bait. He couldnβt back down from Harry, and he never would.
βI dare you,β Draco said. βFor the next monthββ Theo whistled; a month was the maximum length for this game, but it was rare. Draco straightened, crossed his arms, and looked Harry dead in the eye. βFor the next month: I get to fuck you whenever, wherever, and however I want.β

I just realised I completely forgot to do this back when @dyfectos tagged me! Apologies, my wip was mostly in my notes app at the time and it kept slipping my mind. Here goes nothing:
In the middle of the magical screen was Draco Malfoy's pointy face, framed by his unmistakable white blond hair. Sparkles erupted all around it, and the purple letters floating just above it undoubtedly read:
It's a match!
Itβs a bit weird because this is actually towards the beginning of my wip, but since Iβm writing it kind of out of order, these are technically the last three sentences I wrote.
Draco and Harry are colleagues. There's an emerency, and they get called into work out of hours. Draco/Harry apparates straight from where he was: a BDSM clubβand he's dressed the part.

Forgive me, but I haven't the faintest idea what this is about! Perhaps this was sent to the wrong account?
I love how in the beginning of s3e8, when Arthur is praying or whatever tf he's doing for the quest to be revealed to him, Gwen, who is supposedly in love with him, makes fun of Merlin for taking it so seriously that he's waiting outside the doorβin fact, Gwen didn't even know what Arthur was up to until Merlin explained it to herβand Merlin reprimands her!!
Gwen: "And you're gonna stay here and watch?"
Merlin: "Gwen, this is one of the most important days in a prince's life."
Forget the fact that they find him snoring on the floor in the next scene, but how does one read this as anything other than merthur??
