Hello, I hope you are having fun in the library today, I was wondering (and I'd be surprised and also unsurprised if it exists) if you have recommendations for detective buddies/solving a murder mystery together drarry, I'm thinking of comedy/fluff but could be open to something a little more melodramatic and sarcastic if it exists, I was watching a bbc show with my grandma called Shakespeare and Hathaway and it is living in my brain rent free currently
Hello! Your holds have arrived! This was a fun list to make! I'm so glad you asked, and I hope this hits your fancy!
Silly Case Fics
Plausible Deniability by Bearixt (10,500 words, rated T)
“Harry, being released to you is simply an opportunity that arose from this—one that I will grab while I can. You call the shots; I just give my expert advice. You want to catch this copycat, don’t you?”
“One Draco Malfoy in this world is already enough,” Harry mutters. Staring straight at him, he crosses his arms. “That’s it? No tricks, no hidden agendas?”
Draco raises his hands. “You’re right. Christmas and New Year were boring, and I can’t imagine celebrating my birthday here when I can be out partying.”
“I won’t let you out just so you can have fun, Malfoy. You’re a criminal.”
Operation Dragon's Shenanigans by @nv-md (14,030 words, rated E)
Harry's in love with Draco, but it's complicated. Even more complicated than 'I'm in love with my ex-archnemesis and I get dizzy every time I see him smile'.
No matter that Harry's an Auror, and always loved a good mystery, he's still having trouble figuring Draco out. And he's the only one who can see that Draco isn't a regular human.
So, as he's done every year since he was eleven, Harry sets out to solve the mystery of 'Why is This Shit Happening to Me?'

Clouds That Veil the Midnight Moon by @drarrytrash (36,733 words, rated E)
According to Harry’s personal narrative regarding the incident, he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy for purely self-destructive reasons, or out of convenience, or by some unlucky accident. Looking at him, sprawled in the moonlight, Harry is devastated to recall that he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy because he’s hot.
Draco is a secret werewolf and Harry is doing his best and they've got criminals to catch, darn it.
The Liars Department by @dorthyanndrarry (103,395 words, rated T)
This is a story about Harry meeting up with Draco Malfoy four years after the war. And a story about Harry, well, not hating his job per say, but it's not like he has much to compare it to and it seemed fine. His whole life seemed fine. Then Malfoy came along with and his flashy suits and fast car making everything seem dull in comparison, and Harry... Harry couldn't just leave well enough alone.
