Thank you for this lovely ask! I do love myself a long and cathartic fic exploring the hardship of becoming friends after everything they’ve been through. There’s so much room to explore that aspect with Drarry, which is probably one of my favourite things about this ship. The one fic - a personal all-time favourite - that immediately jumps to mind is Lettered’s By the Grace. That one represents the ultimate Drarry redemption/forgiveness journey to me. Here are some other recs for you!

Turn and Face the Strange (time may change me) by punk_rock_yuppie (T, 16k)

Draco and Harry and how their relationship—and themselves—change over the course of eleven years.

The Boy Who Only Lived Twice by lettered (E, 54k)

Harry Potter is an Unspeakable. Draco Malfoy is the wizard who shagged him. Adventure! Intrigue! Secret identities, celebrities, spies! It's all right here, folks.

Modern Love by @tackytigerfic (E, 61k)

Harry Potter, of all people, knows that life isn’t always fair. And no one gets to be happy all of the time. But surely there’s something more—something better—than a rubbish Ministry job, and a lonely old house, and that feeling that everyone out there is doing a better job of living than Harry is.

Wild, orphaned (E, 93k)

“No,” Harry said, by way of greeting. Malfoy’s blonde head rose slowly, carelessly. “Get out.” “I feel as though we’ve already established this, Potter,” Malfoy responded. “And I feel that what we established was that you telling me to get out of places really doesn’t make me more likely to vacate them.”

Changing Tides by carpemermaid (E, 109k)

Draco has spent half of his life spouting the things his father has taught him without much thought about how he feels about what he says. When he unexpectedly comes face to face with the Dark Lord, he grapples with the harsh realities of the world and struggles with his changing views on life.

By the Grace by lettered (T, 140k)

Harry is an Auror instructor. Malfoy wants to be an Auror.

Eclipse by Mijan (T, 287k)

Draco: You know, I mean you could put money in the invitations! You could have like little money place settings. And you could start with a money salad! I mean it’ll be dry, but people will like it!

Ron: Would you stop? We’ve only been going out a couple of weeks, I mean, we don’t even know if he’s gonna propose.

Draco: Yes, but this is Blaise. Okay? He’s not like other people, on your first date, he took you to Rome! For most guys that’s like a…third or fourth date kinda thing.

Ron: Well if that’s what it is, then it’s—it’s crazy!

Harry: Ron’s right. We’re talking about getting married here. Okay? He can’t just rush into this.

There's still a week left to submit your prompts for the H/D Kidfic Fest!

Assigned theme: lost; opposite theme: found

Written for @hp-lawofattraction-fest.

In which the Minister’s best Unspeakable, Harry Potter, never gets asked to work on a difficult and dangerous case with his childhood rival. At no point in this story does he absorb a very mysterious magical residue that drains his magical core. He never develops any sort of dream link that causes him to share his nightmare-turned-vaguely-intimate-dreams with anyone, and he certainly never begins to find Draco Malfoy attractive… … or does he?

a shit sunday Drarry | 2.1k | M

Summary:

Today was not a normal Sunday. It should’ve been. It could’ve been.

Harry didn’t expect every Sunday to be perfect. But today wasn’t even just a bad Sunday.

No, today was shit. A total pile of Hippogriff shit.

And it was all Draco Malfoy’s fault.

A gift for @lqtraintracks!!! Art by the inimitable @crazybutgood! Fic by me!

Summary:

And Draco, as if it were no big deal, kneels on the ground with his owl-patterned wool socks and begins unlacing my dragonhide boots, one small loop at a time, before he carefully pulls them off my feet and places them neatly in his shoe cabinet. “What happened to your leg, anyway? Last time I saw you, you were perfectly fine.” “Last time I saw you, if you recall, I was not perfectly fine.” It’s a bit strange seeing Draco like this—in his picturesque townhouse with his buttoned cloak to the hollow of his neck, fitted black trousers, and owl socks. But there’s a whisper of a smile on his face when he raises his eyebrows at me. “My recollection differs from yours, it seems.”
