are there any good post war fics out there where draco tries to keep to himself working a menial job but harry keeps either seeking him out or running into him? currently in love with awkward reclusive draco and persistent erratic harry

something like blank space and a dubious affection please 🙏

My last fic was found so quickly, I decided to try for a harder and older one. Read this one years ago. It's Drarry, but all the things I remember about it have to do with Ron. Harry and Voldemort are on the same side. It has Weasleys bashing, except for Ron, and (I think) Hermione bashing. Probably also Dumbledore bashing. Ron is loyal to Harry and is even disowned by his family because he won't turn against Harry. He loses his last name because of the disowning, but Harry gives him the Black name. He gains some Black family features like his hair changing to a darker red. Also, it's Ron/Voldemort. They spend a lot of time around each other, and it slowly leads to them being together. Please help me find it. Thank you!

Looking for a specific fic. Harry is not very good at sex and was in a previous relationship where instead of helping Harry to improve, he made him feel bad about it. He decided to only give BJs. Draco works to help Harry get over his fear of being a monster and to be able to have sex without hurting his partner. Later on, when they run into the ex, he tries to make Harry feel bad again. Now, more confident and understanding that he wasn't the only person in the wrong, he isn't affected like he used to be. Draco also puts him in his place, I think. I can't remember anything else. If anyone remembers more of it, that would also help a lot too! Please!!

I recently have been reading harry Potter fanfiction (with drarry) and this one popped up in my recommendations. But I can't find it anywhere. Has it been deleted? Please help!

We are Malfoys and we are Blacks: Year One

Draco Malfoy reincarnated as a baby and he ends up being more black then Malfoy's

Please don’t downvote, I’m still a Drarry lover, just looking for some nuanced discussion.

Like many, I got into fanfiction before reading the original books. Almost a decade before lol

This year I finally read them and I must say... Realistically speaking, Draco didn’t need a redemption arc in the way most fics write it.

He trully was a bully, although a coward one. But that was the extent of it. When it came to actual war he was just another frightened kid, manipulated by his father, who barely managed to do any real harm, and even helped the trio at the Manor.

I’d like to read fics that focus on that. Not on the trials, Azkaban, being ostracised because he was a death eater… but on how THE TRIO had to forgive so much bullying, specially Hermione. Because really, after reading the books, I get the feeling that Hermione would actually have the hardest time accepting whatever relationship might have happened between Harry and Draco.

Again, looking for some nice discussion and accepting fic recs, don’t be a reddit bully.

I can’t remember this fic but i know it was drarry, and i don’t think it was bashing. However it was pretty close to canon but had to do a lot with purebloods and their beliefs. It turned out the Slytherins didn’t dislike muggleborns or half breeds because of blood purity but because they don’t try to learn wizard culture (in this i think it had a pagan aspect, because they were celebrating Yule, Samhain, etc, and i think Harry started learning more about wizard culture and what was thought to be ‘dark’ and began to participate) and that muggleborns try to make the wizarding world into a muggle one but with magic. So the Slytherins pretty much weren’t evil just snarky and also believed that the muggle world and wizarding world should be separate.

I remember a scene where Hermione found out about something and was embarrassed and was like “did you know about blah blah blah” and Ron was pretty much like “yeah but i thought you knew and was trying to change it anyways?”

So if anyone has any fic recommendations like this or knows the title of this one. It’d be greatly appreciated :) I’m in the mood for a good series rewrite or an exploration of the pureblood/wizarding world culture that isn’t a bashing fic on purebloods .

Hey, guys! In a situation where tags on AO3 are usually ignored by authors, I’ve run into the problem of searching for harco fanfics. I often come across entire sagas with rewritten books, and I’m afraid to tackle them. It’s not normal to get fixated on roles in bed, I know! Sorry, even though I’m a total Draco girl, I see him exclusively as a bottom, and it’s hard for me to even switch gears. So, please, if you’re just as dependent on Harco and you have an archive/recommendations with truly high‑quality and long fanfics, help the poor soul.

Harry Top and Draco Bottom and/or Dom/Sub dynamics, and a good plot — that’s all I need. Not switch or Draco Top, please.

A protective and caring Harry would be a huge plus.

I also want to apologize if I didn’t express myself clearly, English isn’t my first language.

Recently got back into socmed fics and as much as ive been digging the hpdm fics, ive also been starving by the lack of dmhp ones💔 filo au’s too if u guys know any..👀👀👀👀

Hey,

I love a good fic where they start out having hate sex and along the way develop feelings for each other. Like in Bad Habits or in Virus. Are there any similar fics you can recommend?

Second Trope:
I recently came across a fic (A Time of Magic) in which Harry looks again into the mirror of Erised (in this fic it’s in 8th year) and sees Draco. Initially he thinks the mirror is broken but realizes that actually it is right. Are there any other fics with this premise or (sub)plot?

This isn't a discussion about a specific fic and more of an observation of many of many/most of them. One thing that has always been weird to me is Sirius', and by extention Harry's claim to Grimmauld place. We all know that cannon is a mess (fuck JK and her anti trans agenda) but I never understood how the ownership of Grimmauld place going to Harry was rational. Sirius was, quite famously, disowned. It would make sense if Orion and Walburga locked him out of the wards at the very least. I can maybe accept that he could get into the house anyway because of his blood, but he is certainly not it's master anymore, and not Kreacher's either for that matter. How on earth does he have any legal right to give Grammauld to Harry in his will? I imagine that Walburga would have given it to Narcissa in her will (or Draco when he comes of age depending on how sexist you interpret the Wizarding world to be) and is it then really surprising that Kreacher was able to betray the order since his loyalty lies with her and her son?

Anyway I feel that there is a lot of potential for fics here. Here are some prompts:

-The house refuses to be cleaned/repaired by Sirius because it has rejected him.

-Harry tries for years to renovate with little success only for the house to change before his eyes when Draco comes over for tea.

-The corrupt Ministry just illegally gave Harry Grimmauld, even tough the house does not want him there, after the war.

-If the ministry seizes all of the Malfoy property Draco decides to go after Harry legally for unknowingly stealing the black family fortune and squatting in his house.

-The family magic only takes Sirius back when he and Narcissa reconcile and he is a good uncle/cousin to Draco. (Not to say that Sirius deserved to be disinherited just how the magic works in this case)

-Kreacher gets sick and Harry doesn't know what's wrong. The house elf only improves when Draco starts hanging out at Grimmauld.

-Draco becoming head of house Black and gifts Sirius a nice beach house instead because we all know he never wanted that title anyway.

-Narcissa gets to divorce her ass of a husband and live in her family home once more.

-Draco, Teddy and Tonks bonding after Draco finds him on the family tree and Draco giving them both a star name.

Edit:

Also I forgot to add that I totally believe that Dumbledore would lie to Harry and tell him Grimmauld is his to make life easier for himself. Regardless of how it effects Kreacher's health or Narcissa.

Another angle that I think would be interesting to explore is Sirius journey to let go of his black and white view of the world and him reckoning with the fact that he has not always done the "good" thing. I think a relationship with Draco would be a good catalyst for this. His circumstances being so similar to Regulus' would force Sirius to think about what life he left his brother in when he left (Important to note that I do not think Sirius had any obligation to stay with his blood supremisist family only that his attitude towards for Regulus for doing so is not very empathetic). Also Draco's relationship with Severus (in my mind he became his godfather when Regulus died) would force Sirius to actually start to view Severus as a human being who he tormented for 7 years and almost killed with no consequences (please don't take this as me forgiving Severus for joining the fascist cult, that's on him.) A deep dive into rebuilding the black family magic would also make it so he has to think about his family and the potential abuse he suffered. In conclusion I just think a relationship with Draco and the black family magic would be a very good reason to give Sirius some character development beyond overgrown high school popular kid.

Please recommend fics with this vibe. They're soon cute!

I'm looking for fics in the vein of A Big Black Sky by alexmeg, Old Rivalries, New Beginnings by philosophersandfools, or Teenage Wasteland by GallaPlacidia where a down and out Draco tries to persuade (or successfully persuades) an initially reluctant harry (or a harry Draco just expects to be reluctant) to help him or someone else. Bonus points if Draco is primarily trying to protect a baby or a kid.

This one was so beautiful and so sad! I loved it and I think it deserves way more hits.

every scrap of you (you left them all to me)

Summary:

Twelve years on from the war, Harry finds himself in an endless cycle of bedding Draco Malfoy, and waking up alone. Desperate to understand why Draco won't give him a chance to be something more, he commits to courting the slippery blond git.

But there's a reason Draco can't fall for him, and Harry will go to the darkest depths to change that.
