▶ When Harry Potter is sent in to investigate Draco Malfoy’s successful potions company, posing as Draco’s bodyguard, he doesn’t know the case will launch a series of events that will change his life — and Draco’s. A story about choices, scars, Chopin piano pieces, and finding all kinds of love in the most unexpected places.

He tries to kill himself, but of all people, Malfoy saves him. Harry realises that if he has the courage to die, he should also have the courage to live. [...]

1. Boys Are Hard (To Figure Out) by WistfulMoon_ArdentStars [T, 1k]

▶ Draco Malfoy doesn't think anything should be quite so difficult. Especially a boy. Except this particular boy does happen to be a git. Of epic proportions.

2. Feline by MissDrarryDawn [G, 10k]

▶ A victim of a lost bet, Draco is cursed with Feles, a spell that has him sprout cat ears and gain a few other cat like abilities. However, Feles also awakens a 'prey drive' in Draco, meaning it has him actively "hunting" for his soulmate. [...]

3. A Glance at the Past (In Our Journey to the Future) by @rockmarina [E, 7k]

▶ It's Christmas Eve. It's also Lucius and Narcissa's last chance to accept Draco and Harry's relationship before they stop trying to make the Malfoys come around and move on with their lives. Draco also happens to have a plug up his arse. One that Harry can control with his mind.

4. "I'm not obsessing!" by Awkward_bean_sky [G, 1k]

▶ In an alternative universe, in which genders have been reversed, Harriet Potter is trying to hide her affections for Desdemona Black from her friends. Hermes Granger is worried about his friend and her obsession, but oh boy, he is wrong about her motives.

5. Knitted Dragon's Lair by @mothermalfoy [T, 4k]

▶ Whatever Harry Potter had expected, running into Draco Malfoy at a yarn shop in Diagon Alley was never it. Especially not with Draco as the owner of said shop that also catered to Muggles. But Hermione's dragged him in, and now he's a little curious. About this new Draco, and the shop.

6. Meeting Again by Self_Deprecating_Narcissist [G, 1k]

▶ Molly Weasley hasn't seen Draco in years, not since the end of the war. Yes, she knows he's dating Harry, yes she knows they're happy, but she hasn't seen hide nor hair of him until Harry drags him along to a dinner at the Burrow.

7. Rainfall Reggae by @gnarf [M, 26k]

▶ What had promised to be a nightmare weekend, camping at a Muggle music festival with the last person he would have ever picked, unexpectedly turned out to be the most fun and exciting thing he had done in ages. Who could have possibly guessed that a wet muddy weekend—with Malfoy of all people—could be such a highlight? [...]

8. A Shadow in the Night by BrandonStrayne [M, 4k]

▶ You never know what is lurking in amongst the trees...

9. Soul Bound by EmeraldLight [E, 24k]

▶ In order to save Draco, Harry agrees to something he knows nothing about. Now the two of them have to figure out how to handle being Soul Bound without driving one another crazy. On the other end of the spectrum, Seamus meets a very interesting boy and who knew Snape was in a relationship! Eighth year changes everything.

1. The Defamation of Draco Malfoy by @dualwieldteacup [E, 8k]

▶ Someone has published unauthorised Real Person Fic of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. It's quite imaginative, very steamy, and, to Draco's dismay, extremely popular. This libel and fouling of the Malfoy name shall not stand! He heads to the publisher's office to voice his displeasure. And that's when his day gets interesting.

2. eavesdropping by syringe [E, 1k]

▶ Molly overhears her daughter and Harry having a bit of (hopefully) safe, adult fun. Or does she?

3. Foreshadowing (I Really Should Have Seen That Coming) by syringe [E, 2k]

▶ An exciting retelling of Ronald Weasley's baffling and traumatizing finds at Malfoy Manor! or, Ron walks in on Harry with his cock up Malfoy's arse. A well-loved plot line.

4. Yule Tidings by @queer-crusader [T, 3k]

▶ It's the Yule Ball, and Harry is having a miserable time. Along comes Malfoy to rub some extra salt into the wound and mock Harry's dancing skills. Harry takes the bait, of course, but with some threatening encouragement of McGonagall, the moment of rivalry ends up turning into an impromptu dancing lesson, and both boys end up getting more than they bargained for...

1. Don't you know that some things are better left alone? by masterofstars [G, 2k]

▶ Harry raised his voice and broke the quiet of the forest, anguish filling his voice. It didn’t make sense to Draco, yet the emotion behind it drowned out the need for any detail. [...]

2. Terrified by @april-thelightfury115​ [T, 2k]

▶ [...] Draco and Harry have grown closer in the last few months and someone's put the idea in the nimwit's brain to go out for dinner. Of course, it's nothing more than a catch up between friends... Right?

3. Thine Enemy is Sweet by @xx-thedarklord-xx [E, 52k]

▶ "The ex-boyfriend of my ex-fiance is my partner in crime." A story featuring a ragtag team of morons, bickering enemies that can't agree on anything, a heist that surely won't end well and a connection that neither Harry or Draco can deny.

4. Wedlock by kitkat03 [T, 1k]

▶ Drarry wedding night ft. deep convos and a frankly unhealthy number of smiles.

1. I wish (I found love) by @taliaskiyoko [G, 1k]

▶ Harry really didn't expect fourth year would turn out like this. His godfather on the run, unwillingly being entered into a death tournament, and most importantly, Draco fucking Malfoy speaking French. That, more than anything else, was driving him slowly mad.

2. Professor Ferret by MissDrarryDawn [G, 6k]

▶ Returning to Hogwarts as the new Potions professor had been a dream come true for Draco. Learning that Harry Potter's own son would be in his class had put somewhat of a damper on the joy. However, Albus surprised Draco by being an excelling student, the two growing closer in return. [...]

3. Townhouse by @mrndvd [T, 22k]

▶ After three rough years, Harry decides to distance himself from the wizarding world. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as he expected. [...]

2. Let's Kiss and Make Up by Anonymous [E, 8k]

▶ Harry isn't sure what Draco wanted. He knows what Draco didn't want, and three months after the door slammed behind him, it still stings. ★ HD Tropes Exchange Fest 2019 | @hdtropes

3. Memories Make the Man by Anonymous [T, 50k]

▶ Draco doesn't know what he is doing here. He doesn't remember this house, this life, this husband. After waking up in the hospital with the last five years of his memory lost, all he wants is to go home with his parents. But there is something about Harry, something in his eyes, something he wants to explore. So now here he is, lost in a life he doesn't remember and having to relearn what it means to be Draco Malfoy. ★ Harry/Draco Collaboration Fest | @hd-collab
