Do you have any fave fics where Harry isn't white? I love the headcanon that the Potters came from India!
We looooove a Desi Harry over here! Please enjoy all these fics with a PoC!Harry:
● Survival Is A Talent by ShanaStoryteller. Rated M, word count 442k. (Current WIP, updated very regularly.)
In the middle of their second year, Draco and Harry discover they're soulmates and do their best to keep it a secret from everyone.
Their best isn't perfect.
● A Half Life, A Cursed Life by houseofhibrideanblacks, thestralsofspinnersend. Rated Explicit, word count 48k.
Harry Potter has decided to die. Draco Malfoy may be the only one who has noticed.
● Stately Homes Of Wiltshire by waspabi. Rated Explicit, word count 57k.
Malfoy Manor has mould, dry rot and an infestation of unusually historical poltergeists. Harry Potter is on the case.
● Far From The Tree by aideomai. Rated Explicit, word count 112k.
The arrival of Harry Potter’s children—snapped back in time, the children themselves guessed, twenty or so years—was the most interesting thing to happen at Hogwarts for years.
● Sensitive Touch. Rated Explicit, word count 194k. (Desi! and Autistic!Harry)
When Draco Malfoy encounters a struggling and frustrated Harry desperately trying to tie his shoes after a meltdown in the Great Hall, his curiosity regarding the incident leads him to seek the help of the two people closest to Harry: Ron and Hermione.
After even they are shocked to hear the extent of Harry's issues, though Hermione had her suspicions, he discovers more about the man than he ever thought he knew before.
● Harry Potter And The Future He Doesn't Really Want, Thanks. Rated Explicit, word count 70k.
It was addictive, the feeling of Draco Malfoy telling him things in a soft voice early in the morning. Harry felt like he was taming a wild animal, or petting a cat that hated everybody else. This train existed outside of time, that was the only explanation Harry could come up with as to why Malfoy was actually having a civil conversation with him right now.
● Hermione Granger's Hogwarts Crammer For Delinquents On The Run by waspabi. Rated M, word count 93k.
'You're a wizard, Harry' is easier to hear from a half-giant when you're eleven, rather than from some kids on a tube platform when you're seventeen and late for work.
● Changing Tides by carpemermaid. Rated Explicit, word count 109k.
Draco has spent half of his life spouting the things his father has taught him without much thought about how he feels about what he says. When he unexpectedly comes face to face with the Dark Lord, he grapples with the harsh realities of the world and struggles with his changing views on life. Instead of doing what’s expected of him fifth year, he joins Dumbledore’s Army and learns how to defend himself, how to make his own choices, and how he can be something greater than his father’s example as he grows into his own man rather than his father’s shadow. The choices he makes change both his and Harry’s fates, intertwining their paths until they converge.
● From The Dungeons series by huntersg1rl. Word count 151k. (WIP rewrite of entire HP series)
One conversation goes just the slightest bit differently. Just how much can that actually change?
The answer: a lot.
● Phoenix Repair Services by carpemermaid. Rated Explicit, word count 20k.
Phoenix Repair Services — We’ll bring it back to life as if it was new!
Draco hires a suspiciously private wizarding handyman to fix his kitchen when he returns home to find it destroyed. He expects a middle-aged wizard with greying hair and a pudgy gut to show up. Instead, he gets Harry Potter—with a utility belt and a charming smile—who is more attractive than he has any right to be.
● Wild. Rated Explicit, word count 92k.
“No,” Harry said, by way of greeting. Malfoy’s blonde head rose slowly, carelessly. “Get out.”
“I feel as though we’ve already established this, Potter,” Malfoy responded. “And I feel that what we established was that you telling me to get out of places really doesn’t make me more likely to vacate them.”
● Day Shift by prolix. Rated Explicit, word count 22k.
Auror Draco Malfoy has been relegated to patrol duty again. After a long shift, he stumbles upon a new coffee shop on Diagon Alley and finds himself being served coffee by none other than Harry Potter. Charmed, Draco can’t help but go back again and again in order to get a glimpse of what’s become of the wizarding world’s Golden Boy—and to get his weekly fix of caffeine, of course. But, as time passes, Potter’s mind seems to be occupied with more than just coffee… and it’s up to Draco to figure out what’s going on.
● Green Light by prolix. Rated M, word count 17k.
Avoiding the dissolution of your relationship by taking an impromptu trip to India seems like a bad idea. In this case, it turns out to be a rather good one.
