And We Are At Our Apogee by angelgazing (LJ)
[Harry/Draco - PG-13 - 5900 words]
He has a mental list titled The Hard Parts Of Revenge.
It runs through his head when he least expects it; when he least wants it.

Basic Arithmancy by Zarah
[Harry/Neville - PG-13 - 1200 words]
Dumbledore leads them up the gentle slope of a hill, and Harry thinks it’s only fitting that Dumbledore should preside over their ceremony. No one expected Dumbledore to survive, either. It seems fitting that he is the one to assist Harry in creating something pure and hopeful.

Oh, shiny. An experiment with format. [Items removed from final print version of Hogwarts: A Retrospective, Vol. VI, by Colin Creevey, (c) 1998, 2003, published posthumously:]

Corridors of Power by Blythe
[Harry/Draco - NC-17]
Witty and clever. I don't pretend to understand all the British quirks in this, but it is still intensely funny. Post-war Harry and Draco as Members of Parliament should not work, but it does, and brilliantly so.

Everyone Everyone by lux_aeterna
[Harry/Draco - unrated - 1200 words]
"It’s odd that after five years of living in total isolation, you’ve only reached the level of say, peculiar." This is Malfoy, lying on his stomach, shuffling a deck of cards.
"What?"
"Well, I just sort of expected to find you completely batshit insane. Foaming at the mouth, that sort of thing. At the very least you were supposed to attack me."
Harry flops down beside Malfoy on the carpet. "Sorry to disappoint you."

Firebrand by Dee (LJ)
[Harry, Ginny, Draco, gen - adult - 3600 words]
AU. Bleak and gritty. The very first HP fic I read. I totally blame Dee for this fandom of mine.

Invisible To See by FayJay
[Harry/Draco, Draco/Justin - NC-17 - 97.500 words]
Possibly my favourite version of Draco, to date. The prologue alone broke me into tiny pieces. Plotty, angsty, funny, very hot, with characters I loved. Yes, even Harry.

Jealousy by SilentAuror (LJ)
[Harry/Draco - NC-17 - 3300 words]
Intense emotions and insecurities leading to snarling, angry sex. Hot.

The King of Sorrow by zahra
[Draco/Blaise/Theodore, Draco/Harry, Blaise/Theodore - NC-17 - 1060 words]
"You started without me." Draco is trying for annoyed, but it comes out almost petulant, and when Blaise licks the corners of his mouth, Draco wants to yank him to his knees and stop his wordless insolence with his cock.

Lay Down Your Cross by Circe
[Draco, gen - PG-13 - 740 words] On Thursdays, Draco Malfoy walks the grounds of the Manor. He checks the wards for weakness and records each flaw with meticulous detail in his notebook. He tours his mother's rose garden, inspecting each bloom for gnome damage. He sketches new, impossible designs for the hedge maze. He lingers at the Gates and looks through the silver filagree toward the village, doing his best to ignore the stares of the attendant Aurors. Sometimes he lays a hand on the Gates and twists his fingers about the bevelled bars. But not always.

Listeners (the Lessons Learned the Hard Way remix) by winter baby
[Harry/Draco - R - 2000 words] Even after rejoining the war, you still live in the London flat. Because during those months when Dumbledore couldn't get you out of bed, this is where Malfoy found you. This is where he kissed you, ran his hand over your body, helped you forget.
This is where he knows you. This is where you will remain.

Once Known Rain by Cate (LJ)
[Draco/Bill - PG-13 - 4200 words] The café was dark, the chairs on the pavement protected by voluminous awnings. Draco moved with assurance to the table he preferred, safe within shadow, close enough to the street to feel the desert’s breath on his face when the wind blew spices into the gutter. "Kahwaziyada," he ordered when the waiter approached, then slumped in his chair, perspiration slick at the small of his back, his blood singing with agitation. Breathe, an older wizard had told him once, a beggar of sorts who’d once known Yorkshire. Don’t resist. The magic will welcome you if you’ll simply stop fighting.

The Price We Pay for Wings by Frayach
[Harry/Draco - R - 13.600 words]
Stop whatever you're doing and read this. This story is magnificent, wonderous. The prose, oh the prose, where do I even start? Rich and full of wonder and depth and heart. I haven't cried this hard over a fic in months. My heart is broken, but I'm smiling through my tears. If you have the slightest affinity for Harry or Draco, read this. But keep tissues within reach, you'll need them.

The Secret Language of Cats by Thistlerose (LJ)
[Remus, gen - unrated - 5500 words]
The writing is wonderfully detailed, and every single character is treated with such a loving touch. The story is heartbreakingly sad and uplifting at once. Remus is so tiny and brave and wonderful. This made me cry so hard.

Six Days at the Villa by Rurounihime (LJ)
[Harry/Draco - PG-13 - 3600 words] On the sixth day, he came to me out on the veranda, where the sun was still trying to throw up heat against the coming night, and took the wine flute from my fingers. He set it down on the railing, drew a chair up in front of me, sat down in it, and said, "You see, Harry, it’s like this."

Surface by Dee (LJ)
[Harry/Draco - adult - 4000 words]
So, so good. Unflinching, unmelodramatic, complex. Dee does angst like a pro.

Take A Sad Song (And Make It Better) by Anonymous
[Harry/Draco - NC-17 - 45.425 words]
H/D Worldcup fics are still being posted, but I doubt I'll find another I'll love like this one. This story is such a treat; rich prose, superb characterisation, convincing plot, believable emotional conflicts. This story is long and slowly paced, but I did not skip a single sentence. The story starts with the breakdown of Harry and Ginny's marriage after Harry's affairs with men. The emotional arc of all characters, both children and adults, is handled maturely and compassionately. Draco gets woven into the tale very naturally, nothing about the romance seems forced. Really, I could go on about this story for pages. It's that fantastic.

Topology by dorrie6
[Harry/Draco (implied) - PG-13 - 2500 words] Seventh year, he returned to Hogwarts with a purpose. He gave up mapping out the other Gryffindors and concentrated solely on Potter. It was easier than the previous year, though he wasn't sure why. It was as if Potter had stopped moving around so much--as if he'd lost momentum. One hundred and twenty steps from the library door to Potter's favorite hideout in the restricted section. Twenty-two steps from there to a book he couldn't stop reading and re-reading. Three hundred and ninety-nine steps to the hidden alcove not far from Gryffindor tower. Best of all, forty-six steps (seventeen of those up a ladder) from the hallway to the roof over the owlry, where Potter waited every night for his snowy white owl to bring him some unknown message.

Trade by Aja
[Harry/Draco - NC-17] Malfoy’s voice was soft and intense, as if he were watching something mesmerizing. Harry kept his eyes closed a moment longer, however, because he could feel Malfoy moving closer—he wondered if the magic was making him more sensitive to heat as well as to light. It was strange and a little enervating, this sensation of feeling Malfoy’s presence near him—magnified somehow, to the point where even with his eyes shut he could tell that the other boy was leaning into him, studying him closely. He could almost see the expression on his face—sharp, serious, and maybe even a little predatory. Harry reflected that under the circumstances he ought to have felt more like a martyr in a den of lions. But really he just felt incredibly intense and aware and alert, and—

Underwater Light by Maya
[Harry/Draco - R]
Favourite HP fic, hands down. I love the plot, the characterisation, everything. The UST almost killed me.

Wandering, Gets You Down by Hiddendaze (LJ)
[Remus/Sirius - PG-13 - 5600 words]
One of the first HP fics I read. Made me fall in love with Remus a little.

Welcome to the Broom Closet by Janice Chess (LJ)
[Harry/Draco - NC-17 - 23.500 words]
Delightful from start to finish. Snappy dialogue, great characterisation, and an utterly adorable ghost as a bonus. You have to read this, I am serious. It's such a gem. The advertisement sat innocently on the lower left corner of page six of The Daily Prophet, written in blocky text on a plain white background.
"IF YOU CAN READ THIS, YOU ARE QUEER."
"What the hell?" said Harry.
