Listen, I'm usually very soft, alright? Give me a nice bit of angst with a happy ending, or a good comforting PWP and that'll do me. BUT. Frayach's fics are just so masterful - inventive and clever and so powerfully, so beautifully, written - that I have a real soft spot for their work, even though some of the subject matters they deal with I'd ordinary avoid. Truly, some of these have become comfort reads, and I'd strongly recommend you give them a go if you haven't already. Very few other writers can deliver the kind of visceral response that Frayach does with pretty much every single fic. You'll certainly be left thinking about them for a long time afterwards and quite possibly with a new kink *cough*
As always please be gentle with yourself and mind the tags!

The Good Guys (E, 27k, ongoing war AU, corrupt ministry, disillusioned Auror Harry, prisoner Draco and a very unconventional love letter)
Summary: The Second Voldemort War is limping into its fourth year, and the Forces of Shining Light are slowly turning into the Forces of Expedient Grey. When Draco Malfoy is captured red-handed trying to sell an illegal potion to a clerk at Borgin & Burkes, he is handed over to the Department of Essential and Necessary Truth’s newest interrogator. And as soon as he sees Malfoy, bound and waiting in his cell, Harry Potter knows he’s in trouble. Deep trouble.
Let Me Have You and I'll Let You Save Me (M, 6k, beautifully poetic, loving but sharp, perfectly matched boys)

Come For Me (E, 25k, kink exploration, Pellegrino, falling in love and learning to fly again)

The Kiss (M, 5k, dark fic, nightmares, memory loss, love is blind)

Blueprints for a Dream (E, 24k, specialty quill-maker Draco, Auror Harry, mistakes, mattresses, red roses and an ending that's just right)
