“WHAT THE FUCK STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS.”

“Then change how the directory is coded?”

I invite you to go have a look and tell me where to start.

No, really. Go ahead. I’ll wait, since you’re obviously some magical coder who can completely refactor someone’s code to work in a completely different manner from how it was intended in a matter of minutes.

You’re not being the person Mr Rogers knows you can be, anon.

Me:

First-years

Party for the 8th years at Gryffindor’s common room and a too honest drunk Draco

Here’s the full wrap around cover for my drarry zine!! I love…these soft boys ;-;

I decided to put together the list of my absolute favourite Drarry fics that I read over the years (I usually prefer them LONG and Explicit).

1. Balance. Imperfect by @bixgirl1 [91K, E]

My Number 1 Drarry fic of all times. Disability fic, featuring Healer Draco. This story will tear you apart and make you whole again. I’m serious. 

2. Light as Iron, Singed as Pearl by Snegurochka [13K, E]

The best, the most intelligent and the hottest Drarry BDSM fic I’ve ever read, featuring Dom!Draco.

3. Turn by Saras_Girl [306K, E]

Famous Drarry classic. Parallel AUs. Potter is straight and married, until he isn’t. I guess every Drarry fan had read this gem (and if it so happens that you haven’t - please do! This is everything and more, you’ll never forget this story.)

4. Eclipse by Mijan [287K, T]

This story is a wild ride that will keep you holding your breath till the very last word. Great adventures, complex storyline and character development. The fic had been written even before “HP & The Half-Blood Prince” was published, and yet… A lot of ideas you’ll see there are so sharp and spot on. Also the scorching level of TENSION between Draco & Harry and  F-A-A-A-LLING in love will drive you mad. It’s a story of wrong choices and right choices, of redemption and trust and love.

5. The Auror, the Toymaker, His Ego and Their Courtship by TheMostePotente [22K, E]

One of the best Drarry fic I’ve ever read. It is absolutely HILARIOUS and serious and hot at the same time. The author has a wicked sense of humour.

6. On One’s Knees by pir8fancier [33K, E]

Again, one of the best Drarry fic I’ve ever read. The war is over, and Draco is a wreck freshly out of Azkaban. Healer Harry. Raw and beautiful, sometimes writing is utterly cruel. Unsentimental. Perfect.

7. Burning the Ground by @lqtraintracks [10K, E]

So okay, I can’t describe this fic coherently without screaming, so I’d better post the author’s own summary from AO3 here (I stan the queen) :

“Strap him down,” someone said, and Harry felt the rage thicken inside him – the viscous fear. Magical bindings pulled taut around his wrists … He felt a wand touch his arm and then a sharp bite as something punctured the skin, and a sweet, cool tonic rushed his veins. His breathing slowed. His eyelids drooped. The ceiling went grey and dark. And then he heard a woman’s voice sigh, “Someone, get Healer Malfoy.”

- See? I aM a sCReAMiNG MEss  bYE!

8. You open always (petal by petal) by birdsofshore [65K, E]

Harry’s not the kind of person who pays for sex. He really isn’t. Until he is. 

It’s birdsofshore’s fic. End of story. (I stan the queen).

9. Brief Encounter by maraudersaffair [45K, E]

THIS fic… oh this fic… It killed me, because it’s so good and sad and brilliantly written. I loved every second of it. The fic is based on the 1945 film of the same name. Warnings: Epilogue Compliant, No Happy Ending (for Drarry).

10. (Ninth Rehearsal for) The Main Event by Snegurochka [9K, E]

Fantastic BDSM fic with intriguing storyline and a briliant plot twist!

11.  Foundations!verse by Saras_Girl

- Part 1: Reparations [87K, E]

- Part 2: Foundations [236K, E]

Another famous classic by Saras_Girl. This series was among the first 5 Drarry fics I’ve ever read, and it shaped my own perception of Drarry, and especially of Draco’s personality in Drarry pairing. Features Healer Harry and Mind Healer Draco. Great, rich and complex work. The authentic atmosphere of Saras_Girl’s universe.

12. Any Instrument by @dictacontrion [131K, E]

Healer Draco is my weakness. 

Draco Malfoy wouldn’t go back to England for anything less than an exceptional case. Being asked to figure out why Harry Potter can’t control his magic might be exceptional enough to qualify.

13. Embers by  @shiftylinguini [41K, E]

Werewolf A/B/O - and I never go for this sort of thing, because I basically find the concept super creepy and disturbing, because the issue of consent means to me a lot, and in A/B/O it’s mostly no choice, so it’s a big NO for me, BUT!! This particular fic - is everything one may wish of a consent-fic, it’s so brilliantly executed. I decided to read it because everything by this author is gold and immediately found out that this is everything I ever needed. And this story is fantastic! 

14. Waiting By An Open Door by @femmequixotic [29K, E]

Draco starts following Potterwatch secretly during the War. He wishes Potter would come save him too. But that sort of thing only happens in fairy tales, and Malfoys don’t get fairy tale endings, do they?

The level of PINING  JCDIDPIDPIHBPIDBHV!!! Reedeming Draco, secretly in love Draco, pining pining pining Draco. I can’t find words how good this fic is!

15. The Full Four Seasons by ravenclawsquill [49K, E]

Draco is gay in denial and married, and then Harry comes along. OUTSTANDING! 

16. Humbug (A Christmas Tale) by Snegurochka [29K, E]

Draco has been taking his casual relationship with Harry for granted. Visits from four key ghosts the night before Christmas just might shake up his priorities in life.

PINING Harry. Believe me, it’s everything you needed. 

17. Like Diamonds We Are Cut With Our Own Dust by raitala [11K, T]

This brilliant fic is based on the iconic Drarry art “Dark Mark Removal” by @alekina . I suppose it’s enough to say :)
