Author's Summary:
Got a question? Ask Draco Malfoy! He has endless knowledge of all things bizarre and more than slightly sadistic. Example: "How does one make flobber worm jerky?" or "How does one get Harry Potter's rocks off?" And the baffling current mystery: Why the hell do people think it's cool to tuck their pants into their socks??

Reason for Recommendation:
This amused and saddened me, and that's key for me in this pairing. Not everything is sunshine and roses when it comes to Draco and Harry.

Author's Summary:
Hermione has been working on a very devious plan to see two men together, but the only available gay men in her year are Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy.

Reason for Recommendation:
This is a rather sweet tale of secret love. I don't know what else to say, other than it's actually a quite touching story.

Author's Summary:
There’s something rotten in the Weasley household, and it’s not just Draco’s corpse.

Reason for Recommendation:
I loved the subtle humour of this fic; it is so well-written it's almost hard to believe it's fanfiction. Not to say anything bad about fanfic, but when you read this, you will see what I mean.

Author's Summary:
Now that the war is over, the wizarding world is regrouping. Draco and Harry are delegates to an international conference to establish a treaty between wizards and vampires, to ensure that vampires never again have reason to ally with the Dark. While there, Draco and Harry embark upon a journey of self-discovery, and they must navigate through the maze of their own desires to finally find each other. Vampire!Draco.

Reason for Recommendation:
I know, I know, it's a creature fic. But it's a good creature fic. It's sensual and beautiful, and you have got to read it to appreciate what I'm saying.

Author's Summary:
Seven years after Hogwarts and the war, life continues in the wizarding world. Draco Malfoy is rich, bored, and slightly jaded. Harry Potter is famous, busy, and somewhat disillusioned. What would happen if they were to cross paths again? Written pre-HBP.

Reason for Recommendation:
It's romantic, and sometimes one needs a little romance. If you like music and snarky Draco, you'll have to read this fic.

Author's Summary:
Harry loses his virginity in an abandoned Charms classroom, and gets rather hung up on the bloke he loses his virginity to. This is pretty straightforward first-time smut, starring a very -- uh, excitable -- Harry Potter. Canon angst is overlooked in favor of fanon fluff. Expect no darkness here!

Reason for Recommendation:
I have a bit of a thing for blushing virgins (in fiction!), so this was right up my alley. I especially love Nervous!Draco, since he's characterised as a wanton slut in too many fics. This is so adorable and sexy.

Author's Summary:
I am SICK of Good-little-innocent!Harry ... Enter Playboy!Harry and his Overinflated Ego, a challenge, a bet, a couple of Really Cunning Plans - and there you have it, "Forty days and forty nights", Hogwarts style. Mayhem ensues! Warning: judicious use of Emphatic Capital Letters and idiotic one-liners.

Reason for Recommendation:
This has everything you could ask for in an H/D fic: humour, angst, and sex! If you haven't read this yet, you have no idea what you've been missing!

When Ravenclaw House hosts a Samhain Ball for the upper school, Harry, Ron and Hermione transform themselves in the spirit of the evening. But who is that person across the crowded hall? Will Harry find out?

Reason for Recommendation:
This story made me cry. It's so beautiful and so sad the way Draco and Harry can't admit they might love each other. I love fics that make me feel real emotion for the characters, and this one does it.

How was it that being grown up had once seemed exciting and desirable? Warnings: infidelity, angst, homosexual sex, Deathly Hallows-compliant (including epilogue).

Reason for Recommendation:
Wow. I can't really even begin to explain. This fic made me feel. If you like your H/D a bit on the heavy side, read this. If you need everything wrapped up nice and neat with a bow on top, skip it. It's brilliant, so if you give it a miss, you're really losing out on a great story.

Author's Summary:
The Argument wasn't about how Harry Potter could have grown up to prefer intimate relationships with other men. The Argument was, of course, because when Harry finally seemed to settle in a relationship, it was with Draco Malfoy.

Reason for Recommendation:
This is a long fic (37 chapters), but I like the way Harry and Draco are characterised here. The author did a good job of explaining their relationship, how it came to be, and how they feel about each other.

Author's Summary:
Harry arrives back at Hogwarts for his final year, nursing a huge crush on Blaise Zabini. Following a Polyjuice potion ‘incident’, Harry learns some VERY interesting things about Malfoy and starts to look at the Slytherin in a different light. Harry lets his imagination, and his wicked streak, run wild, with Malfoy on the receiving end of Harry's game. This fic spans the whole of Harry’s last year at Hogwarts.

Reason for Recommendation:
I like the way Harry and Draco are both kinky here. Again, the story goes a little long, but it's a nice read. Fred and George make an appearance as sex shop owners, so there's definitely something to laugh about as well as wank over.

You will need to read Money Can't Buy the Best Christmas Presents after Chapter Six, and then The St Valentine's Day Massacre and Other Monologues after Chapter Eleven to get the full benefits of the story.

Though you try to hide them, though you try to deny them, though you may get angry and sad and resentful-- some things have a hold on you and it burns and chafes and you can't break free. And some things remain, even in daylight.

Millicent Bulstode is extremely irritated at being stuck in detention until Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter begin behaving in a very odd, and extremely interesting manner.

Reason for Recommendation:
Poor Millicent! Although, I do envy her position. This is a funny little story that I think should be read by slutty!Draco fans everywhere. Because we know that if anyone could put an end to Draco's tomcatting, it would be The Boy Who Lived To Be Gay As Christmas.

Draco reads at Harry's funeral. Oneshot. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

Reason for Recommendation:
Death fics are not my usual cup of Earl Grey, but I like this. It's another fic that had me in tears by the end. Even though it's on FF.net, it's still worth your time to read. And yes, the author is a minor (she states she's 15), but there is no adult content here.

Author's Summary:
Desperate to avoid an arranged marriage, Draco convinces Harry to pretend to be his boyfriend. What follows is an epic romantic comedy involving scheming, snogging, silliness, shagging, snarky boys, superstars, singing, shagging, snuggling, secrets, sex gods, shagging, and a bunny named Draco Lucius Malfoy the Third. HD SLASH (and how!).

Reason for Recommendation:
Okay, I'm going to be completely honest. I didn't really like this fic until DLM made an appearance. So, the fact that Draco, in a state of utter mental instability, transfigured a rabbit from a fork made me actually recommend this. The spelling is atrocious. The plot is ridiculous. Yeah, I know it's meant to be stupid-funny, but it's a little heavy on the stupid. Anyway, read it for the fork-rabbit. That's all.

Author's Summary:
Aurors Potter and Malfoy have been assigned to the Department of Lesser Known Dark Artifacts. Due to unprofessional behaviour, they've just been banned from talking to each other for one day... But no one can stop them from owling each other, at the very least! These are their missives -- or, as Shacklebolt calls them, their "insipid love notes." Enjoy!

Reason for Recommendation:
I can almost picture Draco and Harry behaving this way! It's a funny little story that keeps Mr Malfoy and Mr Potter in character. If you don't at least crack a smile, there's something wrong with you!

Harry Potter is gay. He blames Draco Malfoy. Angst ensues. Features nighttime encounters, a lost game of Quidditch, ambiguity, and coming-out angst. Songfic to I Love You More by Eminem. Harry's POV, 6th year. One-shot.

Reason for Recommendation:
I'm not usually a fan of songfics, because more often than not, they're all song and no story. Not so with this one. Furiosity's such a brilliant writer, and the song fits in well with the story. I loved the characterisations of Draco and Harry.

Author's Summary:
What started as meaningless sex begins to feel painfully like it should be more. Harry calls it off, but Draco is having problems understanding why the end of something meaningless is hurting so much. Why should not having sex make them both feel even more hollow than having it in the first place?

Reason for Recommendation:
This is a lovely tale of angst-cum-love, but it does get a bit sappy at the end.
