🌞 Fic 🌞
The Unexpected and Irresistibly Sweet Days of Summer (T, 3.7k) by ANW815 for siaaa
After an unexpected meeting in the park, facilitated by an overexcited dog, Draco and Harry get the chance for a new beginning. As they take advantage of the long summer days, they begin to fall for each other.
The Plans We Made (G, 5.3k) by alrespirar / @seekercass for @clarey-potter
After the war, it got easier for Harry to leave a few things behind and start to live with less. Luckily for Draco, Harry had already carved a place for him in his heart.
Harry after Healer (T, 2.1k) by clareypotter / @clarey-potter for @blue–dreaming
Harry’s loopy on potions after his procedure. Draco rather likes Harry this way, all open and innocent and awestruck. Oh—and yeah. Obsessed with Draco’s beauty. That part’s rather nice.
“Do we call each other ‘love’? How long have we been together?”
“We’ll have been married three years next month,” he replies.
“Merlin, I hit the jackpot!” Harry exclaims, beaming.
The Danger within (M, 23.3k) by Justlikewriting for @seekercass
Harry knew it would be difficult the very moment he realised who he was going to be cooped up with. In a safehouse. For what could be weeks, or months, or even longer. But he also knew that - especially since the bite - he was probably the best Auror for the job. And Draco deserved that.
Furthermore, it had been four years: they should be able to make this work.
Third Time’s Not a Charm (E, 10.1k) by manixzen / @manixzen for @softlystarstruck
It’s Draco’s least favourite time of year: the mandatory annual work retreat for employees of the International Quidditch Association. There’s nothing quite like being forced to stay in a remote lodge in the middle of nowhere with your coworkers, especially when there’s one co-worker, in particular, you need to avoid.
honey milk tea (T, 14.3k) by softlystarstruck / @softlystarstruck for davonysus
When Draco runs into Harry at his favorite boba tea shop and gets so flustered he orders the exact same thing, he has no idea how quickly his life is going to change.
A love story full of silly texts, blushing twenty-something-year-olds, a leather jacket, and of course: bubble tea dates.
For Enemies. Harry thought not. (T, 1.8k) by CorinaLannister for @jewelmilk
Rushing headlong into the boy’s bathroom was one of the more Gryffindor actions he had achieved, and that was saying something, for he was someone who was always at the forefront of any dangerous situation, and not just because he was the boy who lived. Wherever he went danger followed him like a magnet, that’s what he said at least. Most people he knew said the opposite, that he went looking for it. He disagreed with that statement; he would never willingly go looking for trouble.
Harry had but one intent upon entering the bathroom – find out what Malfoy was up to.
Close for Comfort (G, 5.2k) by GuysAndGirlsAreHot for @swordprincex
Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter have been best friends for years. Now that they’re in college and roommates, Harry struggles to keep his feelings secret. Draco remains oblivious to Harry’s hints, believing that they were just—as historians say—such good friends.
i used to wake up smiling (E, 19.2k) by lastontheboat / @lastontheboat for teawithpotter
Harry’s turning 34 and working as a potioneer in Godric’s Hollow. Sure, it’s not the life he expected—it might not even be particularly interesting—but he’s helping people, and that’s what matters.
Enter one Draco Malfoy with a ferret in his pocket.
Love habituates (G, 778) by bluedreaming / @blue–dreaming for ANW815
In which the progression of a relationship is revealed via a quartet of text conversations.
warm honey (T, 5.1k) by siaaa for Jackvbriefs
your heart melts into my cup
it tastes like warm honey
draco runs into harry at a park. dates, love, and smiles ensue.
First step (G, 1.2k) by a_reader_and_writer / @harrypotterfanfictionwriter
The quibbler has the chance to interview the Wizarding World’s only thestral breeder. Luna sends Draco to do the job.
The Butterfly Kiss (T, 1.9k) by triggerlil / @triggerlil for @harrypotterfanfictionwriter
When a lonely man moves into the abandoned cottage near the meadow where Draco lives he finds himself inexplicably driven towards him.
Limits of Earth and Sky (E, 1.8k) by Jackvbriefs for @chuckalart
Again and again, Draco Malfoy returns to the public eye only to attempt the most challenging broomriding feats Wizarding Society has to offer.
Again and again, Harry Potter watches him do it and wonders why.
sunny skies and starry eyes (T, 7.5k) by davonysus for @lastontheboat
Merlin, he wants to get used to this. He wants this to be his every morning, wants to wake up to messy black hair sprawled across the pillow beside him and Harry’s face more peaceful than he’s ever seen it awake. As if his thoughts are being projected through the room, Harry starts to blink awake and the soft smile Draco gets is enough to capture his heart a million lifetimes over.
Harry and Draco have been pining after one another for years, both too hopelessly in denial about their chances to admit how they feel. Will Pansy’s insistence on a road trip to the beach with their friends be the push they need to finally do something about it?
Why Don’t You Go Fly About It (T, 7k) by teawithpotter for Justlikewriting
If someone had told Harry he would be playing Quidditch with Malfoy religiously every weekend, he would have laughed. Well, things change….
Chasing Waves and Catching Hearts (T, 2.5k) by Nyctala / @nyctala-acadica for the gwb community
Harry is looking for a new hobby, and his friends like to make suggestions. Unfortunately (but not really) for him, he’s about to discover an old rival in the very last place he would’ve expected.

Sunburnt and Sun-kissed (G, Digital Art) by Jewelmilk / @jewelmilk for @kellerific-writing
Harry watches Draco relax after a day at the beach
Sun Kisses (G, Digital Art) by ChuckAl / @chuckalart for @manixzen
Harry and Draco spend their vacation soaking in the sun (and the sight of each other in the most revealing bathing suits Draco could find).
🌞 Fic and Art 🌞
Tripping Over You (G, 8.4k, Digital Art) by fantalf / @fantalf for CorinaLannister
Harry was absolutely sure a trip with snarky, hard-ass, rigid planner Draco Malfoy was bound to end in disaster, no matter what Ginny and Luna said.
He was right. Just not in the way he expected.

Harry Potter and the Invasion of the Slytherins (T, 6.1k) by cavendishbutterfly for This_Time_I_Wont_Regret_My_Username / @blue-rose-smalls
Harry just wanted to bake in peace. He didn’t ask for Pansy to invade his friend group with her sheer willpower and Slytherin co-conspirators. But before he knows it, the Slytherins have regular access to his Floo. And then Draco Malfoy starts hanging around while Harry whips up endless birthday cakes and baked concoctions.
Funny thing, Harry doesn’t actually mind Draco’s company. Not at all.
Ice-Kissed (G, 2.3k) by corvuscrowned / @corvuscrowned for Jewelmilk / @jewelmilk
Professors Potter and Malfoy have very different philosophies when it comes to their teaching styles. Draco, for one, is dedicated to giving his students the best Potions education in all of Europe.
Potter is … Well, Potter keeps taking his Defense classes outside to make snow angels.
Christmas traditions (G, 606) by a_reader_and_writer / @harrypotterfanfictionwriter for Prongslover77
Draco had many Christmas traditions over the years, but only one is his favorite.
In the Early Hours (M, 10.7k) by manixzen / @manixzen for alrespirar / @seekercass
It started with one night, which turned into months, which turned into years. And then, Harry realized he was in over his head.
Wizarding Expectations (NR, 7.1k) by reighchama for GuysAndGirlsAreHot
Welcome to the First ever interdepartmental Christmas Party between The Auror Department and the newly established Medi-Wizard Department
Featuring: Christmas decor, Secret Santa and under appreciated gifts.
Lights and Candy, Turning Prettily (T, 10.8k) by ebbet for corvuscrowned / @corvuscrowned
In which Draco Malfoy pretends to enjoy hot chocolate, Pansy Parkinson quotes the Grinch, Greg Goyle enjoys canapés, and Blaise Zabini says what everyone’s thinking.
Cinnamon, Chocolate, and Pine (T, 7.9k) by StarLeighNight for cavendishbutterfly
After staying at Hogwarts for the winter holiday, Harry just can’t decide how to spend his time. Luckily, he doesn’t need to think too hard - Draco Malfoy decides for him.
This Love is Still Ours (E, 10.5k) by alrespirar / @seekercass for reighchama
The distance helps with the bond. It’s not as strong as it used to be during eighth year. Distance makes it dormant, as the healers said many years ago. Ever so often when Draco comes back, it roars back to life whenever he’s near Harry. They mutually agree to stay away. Until they don’t.
Per my last letter (I hope you choke on it) (T, 10.2k) by fluxweed / @fluxweeed and lastontheboat / @lastontheboat for clareypotter / @clarey-potter
Dear Mr Potter, The answer is, and will remain, a no.
Sincerely, Draco Malfoy Accounts Manager, Phoenix Press
Or: the one where Harry has writer’s block and Malfoy isn’t helping.
Christmas in Garland (NR, 16.4k) by Prongslover77 for StarLeighNight
When driven healer Harry Potter doesn’t get the prestigious job he planned for, he unexpectedly finds himself moving to a remote town. He soon warms to the friendly town and its cast of characters, plus an unexpected familiar face, but suspects it’s hiding one big holiday secret.
My World is Filled with Cheer and You (T, 9.1k) by withgreatelan / @withgreatelan for a_reader_and_writer / @harrypotterfanfictionwriter
Draco needs to buy Teddy a Christmas present and has put it off to the last minute. He also has no plans for Christmas Eve. A whirlwind of Weasleys (plus Luna) will find him not only with the presents he needs, but also a place to go for the holiday celebration, and a chance to reconnect with Harry and potentially get something he’s been wishing for as well.
bambi (M, 32.6k) by This_Time_I_Wont_Regret_My_Username / @blue-rose-smalls for manixzen / @manixzen
Hogwarts is putting on a fusion of muggle and wizarding plays over the Yule holidays, to get the students involved with members of different houses and give them something hands-on with their muggle studies. Draco, as a curse breaker on holiday due to an injury that won’t seem to heal, is asked to help prevent the kids from accidentally blowing something (or each other) up. And because it’s Christmas and he’s 100% a caretaker by nature, despite the things people say about him, he agrees immediately.
Draco didn’t know that Harry Potter would be there too, showing up after years of complete silence in the wizard world. Nor did Draco expect that seeing him would rekindle… whatever it was they had in their eighth year.

you’re a opossum living in the trash can of my heart ♡ | playlist and (truly, magnificently atrocious) poem by clareypotter / @clarey-potter for withgreatelan / @withgreatelan
harry’s tipsy after ron and hermione’s engagement party, and he’s in a sappy, maudlin mood when he writes what he is well aware is the world’s worst love poetry. it’s not a disaster until ron’s excitable owl snatches the VERY PERSONAL AND EXTREMELY TOP SECRET poem and delivers it STRAIGHT TO MALFOY. shut up. it is NOT his fault. the little hearts written around malfoy’s name had NOTHING to do with it.
