With Draco in a coma at St Mungo's, can Auror Harry Potter save Draco's life once more? Excerpt:  “ Draco bristled at the Healer’s tone. “I am,” he answered in a waspish tone. “But you have to understand that it affects every part of my life. If I take the potions, then I get too sick to work, which means I can’t see my bondmate – but if I don’t take them, I get exhausted and can’t be a proper dad to my son.” Draco felt his voice lose much of its heat. “He’s already lost so much, Smethwick! He can’t lose me as well.”” Rec Notes: Just fangirling about an amazing Drarry Soulmates Fic! Also Draco has Scorpius and is the best Dad! https://archiveofourown.org/works/29352837 I have always been intrigued by the idea of soulmates and I feel like it would really make the HP universe cooler if they were a thing. So when I saw this fic "Soulmates: Two Sides of the Same Soul, I knew I had to read it! I love so many things about this fic and one is the way that Harry is so oblivious because Oblivious!Harry makes me giggle so much. It feels super accurate and Harry is so well written! I also love Draco in this! His love for Scorpius is what fuels him and I love seeing that side of him. He is only fighting to survive for his kid and that message really resonated with me! Draco's want to let Harry live the life he thinks Harry wants just tore at my heartstrings and I really understood his feelings there. But I also loved how Harry finally realized the consequences of his words and figured out he could fix it. Draco is so strong to keep fighting to live even when it all was crashing down around him. But his love for Scorpius is probably my favorite part of this story. Well that and of course the fact that Draco and Harry were secretly in love with each with each other for all this time. I also love that the soulmarks were their patronuses! And that you gave Draco a patronus!!! It made me my heart smile and I honestly just love everything about this fic! I highly recommend it to all who love Drarry! 

Rec Notes: This was such a fun read! https://archiveofourown.org/works/11408349 Obsession by emarwood is amazing!!! I love it so much and it's such a fun premise! It of course starts with Harry in Hogsmeade following Draco because he is obsessed. I love seeing that canon aspect incorporated and finding out where Draco went was great! Such a cool surprise! I loved the delicious sex scenes in this fic and the way that Draco knows how to make Harry feel safe and blow his mind. It was wonderful to read! All of the sudden all those years of fixating on each other and loathing come to a head and it's super sexy. I love the way that harry and Draco then fall asleep together it was cute and sweet to have them want to stay together after. They eventually get back to Hogwarts and nothing can keep them away from each other. They just want to be together whether they are sleeping, playing games or having more sexy times they are inseparable. It is so cute and sweet and I love the way that everyone just realizes at the end that there will be no separating these two love birds. Zabini said it very well, their obsession had been so strong for so many years and now that they are together and have admitted the depth of that obsession, there would be no end in sight. I loved the ending and I would honestly love to read so much more! It was cute and sassy and snarky and adorable! I highly recommend!

Did he know “Night and Day”? That was one of Harry’s favorite jazz songs. Just thinking about Draco singing it in his perfect voice was enough to make Harry think he might have a heart attack right then and there. Rec Notes: Oh I love this so much! Siriusly you should read it! You will squee as well! https://archiveofourown.org/works/8988061 Music to my Ears is a fantastic fic! I loved the backstory that went into it and the way that the author explained how Harry learned to play music. I loved hearing about James' love of music and the way that he always played his music too loud. I could imagine Lily giving him a look but then shaking her head as he kept the volume at the same level, or if he was feeling sassy, turned it up louder! It was a nice piece of domesticity for a relationship that I am not sure I generally give much thought to. I love how Harry found a way to play music and that he stuck with his dream! I like seeing people do what they love regardless of money and that is what Harry does! I loved the addition of singing waiters! Such a fun idea and that I think would really get the restaurant more customers than just a pianist. Draco choosing to sing one of Harry's favorite jazz songs made my heart sooooo happy!!!! Also Draco's decision of where to look while singing was purrfection and my little shipper heart nearly exploded with joy! I love Draco when he does something and then is like "oh no...did I really do that?" as it's nice to see him vulnerable. And the kiss at the end!!! So magical! I love it so much and it is such a nice fic to read. The world is believable and the Drarry is purrecious!!! I highly recommend this fic!

Title: Secret Sessions Author: parkkate Rating: Teen and Up Exploding Snap Trope: Portraits Word Count: 2,437 Tags: Hogwarts Eighth Year, Post-War, Painting, Portraits Summary:  Prompted on tumblr: can you do a fic where Harry is looking on the maurauders map and sees Draco in a place in the castle he has never been before so when Draco leaves he goes to check it out and finds that Draco is painting portraits of Harry? Excerpt: “As Harry watched Malfoy’s little dot continue its pacing he stretched his arms over his head and yawned. The warmth of the fireplace was soothing but it also made him tired. “Guys, I think I’m going to-” Harry stopped dead. Malfoy’s dot was suddenly hurrying out of the Slytherin common room. Where was he going? And at this hour? “I think… I’m going to go for a walk,” Harry said slowly.” Rec Notes: All of the squeeing from my little shipper heart!!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/12041058 Secret Sessions by parkkate is an amazing fic! I love it so much and honestly I was internally squeeing the entire time I read it! First you have Harry, once again obsessed with Draco Malfoy and creeping on him via the Marauder's Map even after the war. I guess some things never change! Which I loved because of the throwback to my favorite canon Drarry line in the books. Then you get this awesome combination of characters some of whom you would expect to be together and some you wouldn't which of course just makes Harry's curiosity even stronger. He eventually finds out what they are all doing together and gets a look at the portraits this group has been working on. Harry takes time to enjoy the artwork and guesses one of Luna's creations rather quickly. Draco was not a fan of Harry turning up however and by the time Harry finds the portrait of himself...the artist has escaped from the room! I love the way that Draco sneaks out, as he is mortified to see Harry enter his secret painting club and he is clearly just so embarrassed. Which he, in classic Draco style tries to cover with snark and sass but my little shipper heart was just screaming about how cute he was the whole time! Harry refuses to leave Draco alone, because he is adorably obsessed with the blond still and they have a precious conversation! Super adorable, a little awkward at times but I loved it so much! And kudos to Harry for finding his bravery and going for what he wanted! Also in the midst of their conversation Draco slips and tells Harry that there are plenty more portraits where that came from and I seriously squealed at that line! I love little moments like that where you say something and are like crap...I just said that out loud didn't I? Oh and I love the way that Draco paints Harry, it's a look that Harry wouldn't have painted on himself, but it's clearly how Draco sees him and it's beautiful!!!! Anyways I totally recommend this fic! It's amazing and adorable and very well written! My heart was pounding as Harry followed Draco and to be honest I didn't want the fic to be over! 

If you check the tags of Bloom you will see one that says Tooth-Rotting Fluff and the wonderful author is not wrong! This is such an adorably fluffy piece and it made me squeee!! It also made my heart sing with joy, so that is a nice bonus. I love the way it starts out as if it's just an ordinary day in Harry's flower shop. I also love the way that Harry is adorably oblivious because it's precious. Draco is wonderful and a tad sassy which is perfection in my eyes! The flower details and different types of flowers mentioned help set the scene and make it feel real. I could imagine myself inside the shop as I was reading! I love the banter and how both Harry and Draco are portrayed! Also Draco's surprise for Harry is beautiful! Please go give it a read if you love Fluff and Drarry!!!!

Title: Part of That World Author: MarsInsane Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Exploding Snap Trope: Merpeople/Siren AU Word Count: 11,615 Tags: mermaid!au, Drarry, merman!Harry, Prince!Draco Based on Disney’s The Little Mermaid Summary:  Harry had always been fascinated by humans, trinkets, and life above water. Stumbling across a handsome shiny Prince made the yearning stronger. What if he could be part of that world? Based on Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Excerpt: “I was hoping it would be a wedding present.” Severus said snidely while Draco examined his gift.“Yes, well, she wasn’t my type.” Draco said snidely back as he crossed his arms. “And judging by the relieved look on her face, and the look she shared with her lady in waiting, I think I saved us all a headache.”“Your father won’t be happy.” Severus said with a raised eyebrow. “You are at the age to be married.”“I’ll find someone Uncle Sev.” Draco said walking over and sitting on the railing.“Oh really? You’ll just magically find someone?” Severus said in disdain. Draco smirked as he looked out at the ocean.“They’re out there somewhere. I can feel it.” Draco said. Since he was looking away he didn’t see Severus roll his eyes in fond exasperation.“ Rec Notes: Just a fangirl fangirling about two of her favorite things being mashed together!!! It’s amazing!!! *Squees* Fic Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/23732719 If you love Drarry and Disney's The Little Mermaid then this fic is perfect for you! Growing up Ariel was my favorite Disney Princess so when I saw this fic I knew I had to read it for Exploding Snap! This fic is absolutely wonderful and here is why! First off it follows the movie perfectly which was awesome because I could see the movie changing in my mind as I read it. I love the idea of turning Disney into Drarry and it really inspired me to maybe write something of the sort someday so I highly recommend this fic! Another great thing about Part of That World is the epic incorporation of loads of Harry Potter characters! I thought that it might just be Harry and Draco with maybe like 2 other characters but it's a FULL cast! I loved that so much! Hermione taking over as Sebastian but in a different form was so funny! Ron as Flounder was also super fun and so was Seamus as Scuttle! Voldemort is the bad guy, obviously but his eels have different names too! They are Death Eaters and that just made me so happy to read! Also James is alive which is super cool for Harry and it was a nice change of pace! Dumbledore, Dean and Severus also play a role in the story and I love seeing all of these characters in a different way! Lastly it's just a super fun piece that is engaging, creative and unique! I loved it so much and I highly recommend it to all fans of Drarry and those who love The Little Mermaid!

Summary: Draco becomes befuddled by a simple remote
