Starting list of must-read fics, pretty much all of them Dresden/Marcone:
Careful When We Are (Marcone POV, shortish, very lovely and a nice antidote to the non-magical magic of the books)
Hard Day's Night series - the first two parts are linked in header (lightweight, kind of fluffy Dresden/Marcone)
The Matter of Chicago series - first two books are up at AO3, and then there are about a dozen chapters of the WIP third book at matterofchicago - amazing AU from the second book, with Harry forced into working for Marcone, slow-burn UST, and the two of them ever-so-gradually learning to work together. This is the one I keep getting confused with canon, and then realizing that canon's not as good.
The Spirit and the Letter (nice, thinky genderswap and relationship stuff), Cross (epic, awesome, and somewhat heartbreaking story of Marcone bringing Harry back from his canonical death), and everything else by lightgetsin, no seiously, read everything she's written.
Not Even Silence In Chicago - post-apocalyptic greatness. The first few stories are shortish, establishing the world and doing the NC-17 stuff, and then "Dry Bones Can Hurt No One" is the big, mostly-gen horror/mystery novel. It's, honestly, one of the best apocalyptic stories I've ever read, in fandom or out.
...And, uh, that should hold you for a while. :D If you want to keep reading, or want some shorter stuff, you could do worse than to just hit the Dresden Files tag at AO3, or start reading through the kinkmeme. But you're also welcome to check out my Delicious bookmarks.
