Tomorrow Will Come:
By: Kimberjingle
Harry Potter is a wreck. Addicted to drugs and sex, not giving a damn about a thing. But loneliness takes it's toll and he finds someone to actually care about who is nearly as fucked up as he is. A fast-paced, adrenaline fused, action-romance.
- Post OotP (Mid-7th Year.)
~[AU] As much as I don't like things so un-canon, I loved this fic. Harry's a complete mess and I love it. This is a look into what could have happened if Harry just used/abused his fame. Plus the sex is HOT! Every chapter is very long; about 15,000-20,000 words each. This is not a light fic for minute reading. It's easy to just get lost in the words and read for hours. All of Kimberjingle's work reads the same way so be careful if you're reading three of her epics at once. I highly RECOMMEND this fic. If you don't read this I will personally hunt you down and lay a mad smack-down on you.

At Last... Claimed:
By: Loui
On an unsantioned rescue mission truths are given light for Harry Potter. For years Harry was played by the one man he trusted without reason. Not only does Harry have to watch his back but - it seems - his front, also. Betrayed by his own side, he decides it high time to 'clean house'. With very few loyal friends how is Harry expected to win the war?
- Post OotP (Set nearly two years after graduation.)
~[C] This was a classic Veela fic; with detailed bonding rituals and ceremonies full of mythical culture. Quite fluffy with the Harry/Draco love.

[Author left the fandom.] This fic is no longer online.

The Next Best Thing:
By: Emma Grant
In a bout of genius stupidity Harry decides to pursue the lovely Pansy Parkinson. But how exactly do you bed a fag-hag? Why, by dating their gay roommate of course!
- Post OotP [There's a line in this fic that leads me to believe it might be post HBP] (Our protagonists are approaching 30.)
~[PH] Many of people tried to pretend to be gay only to discover more about themselves than they would have liked, Harry's obviously no exception. It never works people! Oh, but the journey is fun to watch.

Sometimes They Burn:
By: Emma Grant
After the war, Harry Potter pays Draco Malfoy a visit in Azkaban and makes him an offer too sweet not to accept.
- Post HBP (The boys are around 20-22.)
~[PH] Emma does it again! I guess I can pretty much say I'd recommend anything this author writes, and STB is no exception. It also gives an insight to the consequences of the Sectumsepra curse Harry threw at him in 6th year.

Innuendo:
> Sequel: Dreaming in Colour
Harry starts to dream about a certain Slytherin rival who, comes morning, becomes rather pleasant to be around.
- Post OotP (Set in October of 6th Year.)
~ This is one of those fluff-cakes. He loves him - he doesn't - he does! There's nothing that could really be called a plot until the last chapter. WARNING: Last chapter has a semi-graphic chan-rape scene. It's part of the storyline. But there's only the one scene in the first fic.

12 Days Until Midnight: A Harry Potter Christmas:
Twelve presents to represent the twelve days of Christmas. Nothing like a little Secret Santa to bring about House Unity.
- Post HBP [Pretty much all of book 6 is null. Only Horcruxes and the death stand.] (It's the final year at Hogwarts.)
~[AU] This is a fic of pure holiday fluffy-ness. If you're looking for a Christmas fic with Harry and Draco and you want it to be slightly corny, then this is what you want! Yes, is is very-very-very corny in the last chapter. One voice to stop all war... or something lovely like that. Ignoring the corn, it was quite nice. Made me very happy, but also made me miss Christmas. (It's July!)

Two Playboys on the Pitch:
After the war Draco Malfoy becomes the talented healer for the Falmouth Falcons. Just when he thought he had his life in respectable order a certain Boy-Who-Lived decides to change teams, thus becoming the thorn in Draco's side.
- Post HBP (Set two years after the war, which probably had taken pace in 7th year. It's not really said.)
~[B][PH] Now this was an amazing Post-Hogwarts, Quidditch fic. Just enough balm to cover the bite of HBP. I really like the way Harry was portrayed towards the beginning. It's believable too, having read HBP and thinking Harry was an obsessive, invasive, Prat. LOL, Love you Harry!

Identity Crisis:
Years after Hogwarts Harry moves to Italy and runs into the familiar face of Draco Malfoy. After seeing Draco's small family Harry decides that, no matter what, he want to be in their lives. Whether a friend or more.
- Post HBP (Our boys are 19.)
~[PH] This was a nice plotless fluffer-ball. A long romance with an uber-sweet Harry. This is one of those fics that reinforce my beliefs that Harry'd be a great father. There's mild drama coming from the Weasley family that also goes fairly unresolved, but it doesn't really matter since it's about Harry and Draco. Though I do wonder what happened to Ginny...

To The Moon:
By: Constant Vigilence
When an old relic curses Draco Malfoy back into his five year old self only one person is up to the job of being his guardian.
- Post OotP (Stating on the last day of 6th Year.)
~ Dear lord, Draco is utterly adorable in this! Take heed, there's talks of child rape! This was done by the lovely Constant Vigilance who you could never go wrong with.

Another Kind of Love:
By: charlottesometimes
When Draco loses the guidance of Severus Snape he then takes up the man's previous duties of spying for the Order. Along the way he becomes a broken hero being cared for by another broken hero. Some love is not meant to be all hearts and flowers...
- Post DH (This starts at the beginning of 7th Year, with the Carrows and such.)
~[AU] Yes, this is an AU of the happenings in Hogwarts. The spoilers are minor but you should read Deathly Hollows first to be safe. I, however, have not (shame Hidders, shame), but having obsessively skimmed the book I knew enough to get me through this fic. There's elements of rape, abuse, and any other thing you could think of Death Eaters doing to our poor Draco. But other than that it was a good, quick read.

Desperately Seeking Someone:
By: Alaana Fair
When Harry see an outrageous 'desperately seeking' ad in the morning paper, Harry happily answers it.
- Post HBP (Set a few years after Hogwarts.)
~[PH] Ha, I guess Hermione gets the picture about silencing charms now. This was highly funny. Especially the letters that Harry receives back from the mystery person.

Different Worlds:
By: Professor McKitten
Books 1-5 happened, but forget that Draco was ever in them. This is an AU of 6th Year, of Harry and Draco meeting under similar, yet different, circumstances.
- Post OotP (Starts the summer of 6th Year.)
~[AU] How much can I say about my love of AUs that are like this? This was as good as a 'change in outcome' fic. Since this takes place years after when they would have met as first years it allows the characters to be more mature about who they call friend. Yeah, I loved it.

What If:
By: Katrina Marie Pace
In a moment of desperation, caused by his love for Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy decides to change the past. What would have happen had Harry taken Draco's hand back on the train all those years ago? He's determined to find out.
- Post OotP (Begins at the very beginning of 7th Year.)
~[T] This was actually a nice, quick story. I didn't, however, like this author's lack of Harry Potter history. One of my greatest pet-peeve's is knowing the year in which a story takes place. Yeah, 7th Year takes place in 2006 - my ass! HPLexicon exists for a reason people! Sorry, I really hate that. Back to the review: The little elementary twists were fun. Author have obvious trouble explaining one or two things that happened in the alternate reality. Like, if Harry was a Slytherin who despised all Weasleys, then why the hell does he still possess the Marauder's Map!? He received it from the twins but if they weren't friends then there would be no way they'd give it up - to anyone! Even to Ron. The whole time traveling thing was rather questionable. I believe time consists of a series of different realities depending on the choices we make; and they coincide with each other. They are always in existence. Somewhere, sometime. But this author, though it's neither confirmed nor denied, makes it seem as if there is one true path and that's it. The time Draco alters is like a path written on a napkin and is disposable if you don't like it. Like a dream you could awake from and forget. I really didn't like the way she explained it.

The Harm in Trying:
By: mandraco
Harry goes through some changes that cannot be explained. It having no involvement with being a magical creature or being Snape's son, Harry questions it's cause. What if it's his own doing?
- Post DH (Set about 10 years after the war.)
~[PH][EWE] It's obvious that this isn't a great work of literature, but it was quite funny. I just want to know what happens if and when Harry's book gets published; the author doesn't follow up on that. If you hadn't read DH you still might be able to get through this. I found nothing that left me with a '???' face. There's only one or two things I think from the fifth book. Yay for MPreg! It's always quite an experience for our boys.

Bloody But Unbowed:
By: Lomonaaeren
> Draco's POV: For Their Unconquerable Souls
When Lucius Malfoy is cursed with a complicated spell only one Mediwizard is up to the challenge to cure him. Can Harry find the counter-curse in time to save the ex-Death Eater's life?
- Post DH (I think Harry's 23 in this, but I'm not sure.)
~[PH][EWE] Lomonaaeren does it again. Siriusly, read as much of her work as you can; it'll never go wrong. I would love to see a sequel for the conspiracies that have been going on around Harry and the Malfoys. Especially the one with the matching paintings; there has to be more to that story. I got through this without major DH experience, so that's good. Draco's character is quite humorous. And I've come to love this Lucius and Narcissa. Yay, read it!

A Change In Perspective:
By: Roozette
In the midst of Slytherin planning to befriend a certain Gryffindor for wartime's sake, that particular lion goes through a major change. Of course it's just a potion's accident, but what does this mean for the Slytherins who don't wish to be Voldemort's underlings?
- Post OotP (Opens just before 6th Year.)
~ Yes! This is another child!Harry fic. I'm sorry but I'm a sucker for these. I love seeing Draco's inner-mommy come out. Basically, Harry (at the age of 5) can't really relate to the Gryffindors due to his rough upbringing. But no worries, the Slytherins are more than happy to keep an eye on Harry - hell, Draco's been doing that for years. What can I say, I loved this!

A Mile in His Shoes:
By: Sansa
Draco mostly spends his days walking the earth of England after the war with all that he owns on his back. One day his travels lead him to a quiet island that harbors an equally quiet Harry Potter.
- Post ? (Some years after the war and after school, I'd say mid-twenties.)
~[OS][PH] Awe... This was sweet. And hot! But mostly sweet. I'd like to see more from this but I'm very happy with what I got. It was also quite long for a one-shot. But I like them long, more substance. Nice.

The If Sieve:
By: cest_what
Draco's obsessed with what if's after the events of the previous year. He's absolutely positive that him and Potter could have been friends if just one event's outcome changed. Is a friendship (or more) possible or are they destined to be enemies for life?
- Post HBP (Set in mid-7th Year.)
~ This isn't really an AU since it's only glances of a 'what if' moment. And those 'Ifs' are nicely written and something that I could see in canon, maybe. Well, not in the DA one, obviously. This story kinda pulled on my heart strings when it reached chapter 4, I felt so hopeless. Ah, but no fear. Agreeable ending - not the best - but it leaves hope for the future.

Inspired By Your Shoe Laces:
By: Smarmy Penguin
In a fit of rebellion Draco Malfoy and his friends form a band and say to hell with conformity. And then the innocent little Gryffindor became their lead singer. What's a band to do?
- Post OotP (Starts mid-6th Year.)
~[AU] Or at least I'd say it's rather AU for even after the 5th book. But it was a good read, quite refreshing after all the serious fics I've been reading. I kinda have a lazy 2 weeks of not reading, it just didn't interest me like it used to. Sometimes you just need a little crack fic to snap you back into place, and I'm all better now! It's easy to adore these characters because that is just what they are; characters, the lot of them. I'm still left with a question or two that will probably never be answered. (hint: what Harry has to say about Ron and Hermione's mentality at the end of the fic. What's with leaving him to fight his own battles!?) I'm also quite glad that there was good Beta work done on this.

Slut:
By: charlottesometimes
In the shadows of a strip club Harry Potter finds more than a little companionship. Can he kill two birds with one stone?
- Post OotP [It's not said but it would have mentioned Book 6 if it were newer.] (Our boys are 23.)
~[PH] This is really a one-shot that the author wrote for someone but she, the author, wanted more so she wrote the rest in first person (which I hate). The ending the author gave herself was quite real in the fact that sometimes people can't get around the past. Even if it will bring the the most happiness they'd ever get close to. ...I think I gave too much away. Well, anyway, I liked this one.

Someone tries to kill the Falcons' Seeker, Draco Malfoy. By chance of being on the scene Auror Potter takes the case.
- Post HBP (Sometime after Hogwarts, maybe just 20 years old.)
~[PH] Okay, so my summary is too grand for this fic. It's a short fic that runs quickly. I'm a big fan of Post-Hogwarts fics, but I didn't really care for this one. Only because the pace is not believable. It's too little, too fast, and then it's too much... Hmm. Next!

Sleeping with the Enemy:
By: RainShadow
Something or someone has been kidnapping students in the dead of night. After a horrific night the students are left in a room only t be found days later. Who's doing this, and why?
- Post OotP [It's not really stated.] (Mid-6th Year.)
~ Well, this is a little-detailed non-con fic so if that bothers you please pass on this. Non-con is non-consensual sex, AKA: rape. But I thought it rather sweet between Harry and Draco. This fic also follows other people, not often but nearly enough to bother me. I liked this but it's not top of my rec-list.

Muggle Inconvenience:
By: Aisling
Dumbledore thinks he's brilliant; yes, send the Wizarding students to a Muggle school. What could go wrong? Well, seeing as the abuse given to Harry had escalated to horrifying proportions over the latest summer... Nothing, right? WRONG!
- Post OotP (The summer of 6th Year.)
~ I HATE rape dealt out like this. This is written as harshly as rape really is, so kudos to the author on that point. Rape is not pretty and it's got nothing to do with any fluffy loving. And this was so painful to read in the beginning. This later got better to stomach but you couldn't help but want to save Harry. "I'll save you, Harry!"

The Christmas I Loaned My Sons:
By: Ellipsis the Great
After the death of his wife and son, Draco Malfoy puts an ad out in the paper looking to borrow a child for Christmas. Harry Potter answers it.
- Post DH (Starts before Harry's 22nd Christmas.)
~[I][EWE] This was so heartwarming. I'm so ready for Christmas after reading this fic! Though, it's written in first person (which I hate), I found myself able to ignore the I's and Me's. The POV jumps, a lot. Nearly twice every chapter, which would be okay if you could keep track but the endless I's can get a girl lost. Loved it anyways.

The Silence of Silence:
By: Lady Bahiya
Every year Harry is sent back to the Dursleys', and why would the year after his defeat to the Dark Lord be any different. Forget that he's of age, forget that he's not being chased by a deranged psychopath anymore. Then again, maybe he is.
- Post HBP [This was written after HBP but it doesn't really fit with HBP.] (Our boys are entering their 7th Year.)
~[B] Mute!Harry! Really, really. It was a nice concept. This fic was really good, not really rec. worthy but good none-the-less. There was abuse with the Dursleys that, thank good, are not detailed and is not rape.

~[TAU][nonmagic][PH] Wow. Can I say it? Wow! I've not read any non magic TAU's, and as a first this made me fall in love! I'm not as adverse to reading more of these as I was before. So, Pirate!Malfoy and Seabound!Potter are to die for. But there's a big twist in the Epilogue, so please enjoy that as much as me. Though I was kinda sad at the end for the way it closes...

Mirror Mirror On The Wall:

What if looks were really as deceiving as people say they are? Would you accept the deception or embrace the looks?
- Post OotP (The beginning of 6th Year.)
~[AU] They say looks are in the eye of the beholder... Who has a wand? Is that really acceptable? Well, okay. This was kinda nifty since I've never seen the concept in HPFF before. It's short (3 chapters) and good for a quick read. Have at it.

~[PH] This was almost up there with Lomonaaeren's work "Bloody But Unbowed". It's not as long or elaborate but it certainly catches your attention quickly. I read this in about an hour or two (and I read super slowly !) so this would be a perfect quick read. I hope you like this one, too!

~[PH] Oh wow. Very wow. This should be on more rec lists than it is. Maybe it will be since it's still under two years old. But the characters are so easy to hook onto. I felt myself flapping at Draco's kilt-tails, so to speak. I didn't want to miss a single breath. Go ahead, read it and drool.

- Post OotP (Opens about a month before 7th Year graduation.)
~ This was one of those Harry's-uber-powerful-but-no-one-knows fics. Which I love, BTW. It almost feels like the author wanted to do an angsty fic but then decided she didn't want to be depressed. Well, I loved this fic, just wish there was a little more for the epilogue. Especially between Draco and his father.

~[PH][B] So my summary really sucks for this one. When I look for post Hogwarts school more often than not this is a fic people rec a lot. Though personally I found it kinda slow... Until Nicodemus! I love to hate this guy. But I wish we had more time with him. An epilogue of a year or five later would have rocked. This was a good read but I'm not rec'ing it.

Dependence:

During the war Malfoy became missing. Everyone assumed his death, even with a lack of a corpse. Barely eighteen and still he's relying on others, only more-so. Without the ability to even regulate his own body temperature Draco Malfoy loses himself to his dependence.
- Post OotP (This starts the summer of Draco's 18th year.)
~[PH] I loved this fic! And hey, my summary's a wee-bit better than the last! I'm against the little Snape/Draco that there was in this fic but that's because I dislike the age difference. Dumbledore's a manipulative old coot here as well. I wish there was another chapter that tied up loose-ends like Ron and Snape but I'll take what I got.

- Post OotP (Harry's 29 at the beginning.)
~[C][PH] Oh my heavens, this was amazing! Very deserving of it's many recs. I loved to hate Dumbledore and the Weasleys. Though I already didn't like Dumbledore, Ron, or Ginny before this, this just reinforced my animosity of these characters. And the details of a vampire's colony, so elaborate. This author has quite an imagination. I wish there was more than just the side story. I mean, Neville was only mentioned once in Wicked. There was some loose ends but I guess it's not enough to bother me. Please read this one, it's a classic!

The middle was quite good when it got going and just when the ball started rolling on the H/D friendship - the story ends! It's obvious the that author lost all inspiration and interest with this piece. But to change the angles as much as she did, I shocked she didn't just pull this offline. It's not bad (not at all) but I just wouldn't rec it.

Restoring Faith:
By: Lyon's Own
With Draco's safety in mind Harry does the only thing he could think of; he broke his loves' heart and pushed him away. Seven years later do they meet. Can Harry restore Draco's faith in his love or will it just be something of the past?
- Post OotP (Set seven years after 6th or 7th Year.)
~[PH] Oh, so fluff-tastic! This had it's heart wrenching moments and it's 'awe' moments, and everything else a good WAFF should have. I wished there was more but alas it cannot be. I will be keeping an eye on this author for more H/D goodness. If anyone's wondering, Evan is a perfect name for Harry's son. I've seen it as such many-a-time in fics.

Sperm Cow:
By: Empathic Siren
In order to receive his inheritance Draco must produce an heir and he wants the best. Who's better than the powerful Harry Potter? See, life debts can come in handy when you want to rope Potter into being your sperm cow.
- Post DH (No age or year is mentioned, but it's obviously not long after the war.)
~[OS][EWE][PH] This was a loveable fic. 11,000 words long. You only need to know who owes who a life debt as far as the Deathly Hallows knowledge goes. Though this fic didn't flow like I would have liked it when real smoothly as far as two months in 11k words goes.

A Torturous Reminder:
By: Intempesta Nox
Death Eaters stir up a little trouble in the States and Harry Potter's deployed to bag the baddies.
- Post OotP [I don't thing it's stated.] (Harry's 20.)
~[PH] This had a common plotline of Death Eater round-up with Harry running into Malfoy at some unlikely place. I felt like I was reading it just to finish it towards the end. The sex scenes made me cringe, the author knew little of the mechanics of gay sex. No prep. + no lube = YIKES!

Mirror Image:
By: Aisling
> Side: Mirror Image Companion [timelines & OC bios]
> Sequel: Blurred Reflections
What if Voldemort was born as a twin and that twin was sent 50 years into the future? And what if that twin found out about his true idenity? What if that twin was Harry Potter?
- Post OotP, with HBP elements ()
~[B1AU] This was awesome for being a total AU. I was easily pulled into the story and the hold held until the very end. Be warned there is major bashing on Dumbledore and Hermione.

Soul Mate Bonds:
By: Pyre13
Draco angers Lucius enough to make him do the unthinkable: bond him to his soul mate.
- Post OotP (Set in the summer before 7th Year, I think.)
~[OS][B] This was a beautiful, long one-shot. The relationship between Harry and Draco runs a little quick but that doesn't pull away from it's sweetness. A total rec for bonding fans.

If Wishes Were Children:
By: oldenuf2nobetter
Months after his break-up with Draco, Mrs. Malfoy crosses his path. She brings him back into the life of his ex-lover with the news of something very much like a miracle.
- Post DH (Set over 2 years after the war.)
~[OS][EWE] Awe... This was so beautiful! It's angsty WAFF that I could have just died for. But in the end, after all my awe'ing I kept wanting one thing; I wanted James to open his eyes! I'm so curious.

Zeke, Like, As In ‘Eek’?:
By: Calrissian18
After having quit his job as an Auror, Harry comes across something in Diagon Alley that will take up his excess time.
- Post OotP [Just a guess] (Harry's nearing 30.)
~[OS][PH] This was really good. I kinda hated the quick ending, though. I love fics that have kids in it so of course I loved this but I couldn't help but think someone, anyone, would have brought up Zeke in conversation. 'Specially Kingsley (being Harry's ex-boss and all). ::Shudders:: Yik.

Incongruous:
By: Calrissian18
Draco confesses his love to Harry at an inopportune time. How will Harry react?
- Post OotP [Just a guess] (Starts near the end of 7th Year(?).)
~[PH] Holy fecking god, talk about an emotional rollercoaster! This is for people who love to feel the aching and yearning that only a well written fic can give you. Wow... I'm still reeling. It sure didn't help listening to "Christmas Mirror" by The Butterbeer Experience during the last 2-3 chapters, made it more urgent that I'd hurry up. I thought for sure Draco'd be trapped by the Weasley at the end - almost hyperventilated. I nearly threw up when we found out who the mystery lover was. (That gave away a lot.)

I Love Him:
By: SoftlySweetly
They all tell Harry they love him. Harry tells them he loves them, too. But Harry only loves one. Him.
- Post OotP, with HBP elements (Starts sometime in 6th or 7th Year.)
~[I] This dark!Harry is a whirlwind of good and bad, I just can't keep up. I obviously haven't read enough evil!Harry fics since this one left me buzzing. It's pretty short for a chaptered fic but is still very typically a SoftlySweetly fic. Total lovely WAFF fulfilling fluff, despite the rest of the fic. I loved this.

Take Two:
By: Calrissian18
A second take on the life of Harry Potter if his father lived and Harry was just a normal boy with normal problems. That is if your crush was sleeping with your father were a normal problem.
- Post OotP (Begins when Harry's, hopefully, a 4th-7th Year.)
~[B1AU][OS] Yup, the bigger part of fic is James Potter Sr./Draco Malfoy. It's not an everlasting relationship, thank god, so I had to wait it out. This is a UST-between-friends fic. Naughty Draco, you disappoint me.

Appearances:
By: twistedmiracle
Just when Harry was wanting to settle down and have a family an offer of marriage comes from an unlikely person.
- Post OotP/HBP/DH [Has some elements of all 3.] (Harry and Draco are 30.)
~[PH] So um, smut. Lots of smut. Since the plot is just the journey to whether or not Harry and Draco do get married there isn't much else. I was a little disappointed with this fic. Kinda got bummed and couldn't finish the story. Damn.

Sneak Attacks... Hugs?:
By: Calrissian18
Draco seeks solace outside his dorm in the night. And then the attacks came. In the form of hugs. From Harry Potter!
- Post OotP [Maybe.] (Some non-descriptive year of Hogwarts.)
~ Can anyone say awe to the power of 40!? A nice, quick, fluffy crack fic. Seriously, any person will love this.

Boy, interrupted:
By: hamlet-972
Drug addicted Harry Potter snaps and attacks Draco Malfoy. Now is the time for swift punishment.
- Post OotP [With a HBP mention towards the end.] (6th Year.)
~ Okay, the author says that her Harry isn't emo but that's because she has no idea what emo means. This Harry is VERY emo. Tattoos, piercings, drugs, alcohol, and a lack of a sunny disposition = emo. As a fic... Eh.

Boys On The Radio:
By: BluntJoey
Harry and Draco talk through a radio talk show.
- Post GoF (5th Year.)
~ Hm, another 'eh' fic. I've really been picking them lately, haven't I. Well, it's as the summary says; and then the boys meet. It feels very rushed and is obviously the author's first work.

Speak To Me:

> Sequel: Leave Me Wordless {3171762}
The war was won and the saviour had made himself insane. With only a handful of memories in his head can Harry really survive Hogwarts after the war?
- Post OotP (Just after the start of 7th Year; post-war.)
~ So good! I loved this, though I wish there were a little more depth and believiablity. In the beginning Harry's rather child-like and that seems to go away quickly. The sequel is a WIP that hasn't been updated since June '08, but maybe the author is just a slow and thorough writer. I can only hope.

Merlin's Power:
By: Slytherin Prefect
After discovering the manipulations of the Headmaster Snape takes Harry Potter's well-being into his own hands.

How Do You Want Me:
By: MOiT
After a run-in with Harry, Draco slips the Gryffindor a potion that something other than intended.
- Post OotP (The boys are 6th Years.)
~ So basically it's a love potion gone wrong. And it felt very high school. Hook up, break up, hook up, break up, hook up... ect. Harry's just so irrational. But maybe that's just the hormones. I dunno, I couldn't put this fic down despite my fustration with it.

Childhood Discoveries:

After putting Harry Potter in a coma Draco gets a visit by a younger Harry Potter sent to inform him.
- Post OotP (7th Year.)
~[DA] Angst and fluff and child abuse. Yeah, it's one of those kinds of fic. This can also not be categorized as a de-aging fic but with all the little Harrys I think it counts.
