2010 anon here. Anything goes, just pick your favorites! :)

Hi anon, thanks for the ask! I tried to keep this short but as usual ended up with 30+ titles so they’re under the cut, lol. This is not supposed to be an exhaustive list, of course - there’s a lot I haven’t read yet, and I’m sure I forgot some great titles so I might update this post if I remember or come across new old fics. Fair warning: I haven’t revisited the epic long fics in years and idk how well they have aged, but they’re all fabulous reads. Enjoy!

Irresistible Poison by Rhysenn (2001, PG-13, 123k)

Under the influence of a love potion, Draco learns that poison doesn't always bring death — there are other ways to suffer and live. Chemical emotion runs feverish as Harry and Draco discover the intoxication of love.

Unfinished Business by cupiscent (2003, E, 20k)

Ten years after the War ends, Harry and Draco still haven't got their act together. But maybe it's not too late.

Eclipse by Mijan (2003, T, 287k)

Draco swore his revenge on Harry for Lucius's imprisonment, and Harry all but laughed at him. But Draco is planning more than schoolyard pranks this time. The old rivalry turns deadly when Draco abducts Harry for Voldemort. It's the perfect plan, guaranteeing revenge, power, and prestige, all in one blow. But when Draco's world turns upside down, the fight to save himself and Harry begins, and the battle will take them both through hell and back. If they come back.

Draco in Darkness by Plumeria (2003, T, 34k)

Following an accident in his seventh year, Draco loses his eyesight. At first he completely withdraws, avoiding any hint of pity, as well as any assistance; he is determined to succeed on his own. But after Harry elbows his way into Draco\'s dark world, both boys find themselves in a strange new friendship, and they each learn new ways to see each other ... and themselves.

Transfigurations by Resonant (2003, E, 70k)

Tempus Fugit by Poison Pen/Stylophile (2004, M, 97k)

Clear as Mud by scoradh (2005, M, 10k)

Set post-war and post-Harry's-conscience...

Bond by AnnaFugazzi (2005, M, 207k)

Yet another one of those Harry And Draco Are Forced To Be Together By Something Beyond Their Control And Then Stuff Happens Leading To Twoo Wuv stories. Because every HD writer has to write at least one. Finished. (Provided by author)

Walking the Line by silentauror (2005, NC-17, 180k)

Sixth year is over and Draco Malfoy is on the run. The war is on and an unwanted assignment is forced upon him by the only people he trusts - and a one-time arch-enemy just may be out to kill him.

Beginning with Draco's unexpected arrival at the Dursleys, Harry's summer after sixth year becomes filled with activity and many secrets. As his summer progresses, Harry generates several unexpected allies as he finds himself actively becoming the leader of the Light side.

Welcome to the Broom Closet by incapricious (2007, E, 23k)

Harry thinks he knows how his life will go: Become an Auror. Marry Ginny. Have a family. But then he sees an advertisement in the paper that no one else can see, and his life is turned upside-down. The Broom Closet: you can be anyone you want while you're there, but you won't remember it in the morning.

The Venice Job by nishizono (2007, E, 26k)

Harry Potter was one of the youngest Aurors in history. He was the Boy Who Lived, and the Boy Who Lived Again. He loved Guinness and Quidditch, and hated pineapple. He wrote letters to Hagrid every Thursday, and on Sundays, he visited Hermione and Ron. Harry Potter was also not gay.

Sine Qua Non by khasael (2007, E, 35k)

There's only one cardinal sin for a whore.

Reparo by amalin (2008, E, 84k)

Voldemort's final defeat does not mean Harry Potter's troubles are over; far from it. In the aftermath of war, he returns to a Hogwarts that is fractured and divided, but this is no break that can be fixed with a spell. New owls, fading scars, surprising alliances—and along the way, the hardest task of all, to live with it.

Foundations by Saras_Girl (2009, E, 364k)

Harry is about to discover that the steepest learning curve comes after Healer training, and that second chances can be found in unexpected places.

Mental by sara_holmes (2010, M, 186k)

Sex Ed for Aurors by curiouslyfic (2010, M, 9k)

Some things, you need to learn on the job.

And Save Me From Bloody Men by @blamebrampton (2010, T, 10k)

Draco Malfoy once watched others fighting to stop the world falling apart. This time, he's not just watching.

Little Red Courgette by @blamebrampton (2010, T, 31k)

When this season's purple courgettes are woefully thin, Draco Malfoy thinks it amounts to small beans. Next thing he knows, the Department of Standards is over-run with leeks, Brussels sprouts all sorts of legislative difficulties, and somebody appears to have put a roquette under Harry Potter. Can Draco seize a marrow victory? Or will his plans for peas be squashed? All along, Kingsley Shacklebolt finds himself pining for the good old days, when, instead of governing, all you had to worry about were Dark Lords and imminent death.

Guilt Tripping 101 with the Marauders

This is so drarry.

Do you read fanfiction? Are you queer? Well then I’ve got the perfect survey for you!

Hi! I’m a student writing a research paper on the prevalence of queer couples and lgbtq+ representation in fanfiction and need participants for my survey. This project will be entered in a national (Very prestigious) research competition and will be judged by an academic jury. The more answers I get on this survey, the more accurate my research will be, so I’d really appreciate it if you would take the time to answer! 

https://forms.gle/8sae8vzQRERAzYiX8

Here are some reasons to partcicipate: 

Science and stuff

Force a highly prestigious academic jury to read more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction 

Better my chances of winning real-life money by writing more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction

Help expand a largely ignored academic field (fandom studies)

It’ll only take like 8 minutes (5 minutes if you’re quick)

Uhhmmm…

Please?

The only requirement is that you have some sort of experience with fanfiction or fan works (Whether that be writing or reading). You do not have to be queer to participate and all answers are completely anonymous

Reblogs are appreciated!

do you have any wolfstar fic recs where remus frees sirius from azkaban? (love your blog)

Hello nonnie! Thank you for your kind words 🫶

Sorry I only have a few! Hoping someone else can chime in with recs as well ☺️

Bring Me a Boat by rosie_writes (on LJ) (PG 13)

This is an alternative universe fic, exploring what might have happened in 1981 if Remus had never stopped trusting Sirius.

Oh Lord, Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by @msalexwp (M, 42777)

Remus is madly in love with Sirius and knows he'd never betray James and Lily. That's why he and Andromeda Tonks work to save Sirius and prove him innocent. It's a slow-build mystery that takes advantage of JKR's plot holes, has an exciting rescue, and ends with some sexy reunion scenes.

OR

We correct the record and tell you what REALLY happened after Sirius went to prison.

Azkaban Can't Keep Us Apart by @asunshinepuff (G, 1219)

Ultimately, the plan was simple in theory.

1. Break into Azkaban unnoticed.

2. Find Sirius’ cell and destroy the lock.

3. Avoid the Dementors.

4. Escape the prison in the middle of the sea.

5. And find a safe place to hide until proof of Sirius’ innocence is uncovered.

Executing this plan, however, is much more complicated.

This one is more of helping him escape before the aurors arrive:

trust me to take you home (to clean up that blood all over your paws) by LesbianLucretia (M, 15301)

Halloween, 1981. Remus finds Sirius before the aurors do and is forced to make a terrible choice.

(alt title: remus lupins no good very bad couple of months)

And also, I think I've seen more of Sirius escaping and going to stay with Remus,, here's one if you'd like to check that out!

A Hopeful Sky by @thesleepiesthufflepuff (T, 4706)

“I can’t,” Remus urges. “I don’t know the first thing about parenting—”

McGonagall places a sturdy hand on his shoulder. “Lupin, I’ve watched you be an extra parent to this child from the moment he was born. If there’s anyone in this world who can give him the love and care he deserves, it’s you.”

Happy reading! And as always, please check the tags :)
