After over 4 years of reading H/D fics, I've finally compiled all my bookmarks into a rec list of more than 280 fics ^__^ They cover everything from classics to newbie fics, from drabbles to epic chapter fics. Hopefully, everyone should be able to find at least a couple of fics that they have never even heard of among the various entries.

Still, all the fics have in some way or another influenced and complimented my experience of H/D as my OTP in the Harry Potter fandom, and by extension, Draco as my favorite character.

Last update: 21st June 2006 - 5 fics added

Total Fics: 297

Note: Latest recs that have yet to be added are HERE

Favorite newly added fic: Resistance by silentauror

Never Turn Your Back On Me by Gothgirl
Draco must find something for the Dark Lord

Next Best Thing, The by emmagrant01 [added: 21st Jun 2006]
How does a boy get a girl to notice him? Why, by pretending to be gay, of course!
Notes:  I've been on the lookout for 20/30 something H/D fics and this just happened to pop up. And when this particular author writes H/D, it has a tendency to just Make Sense and Click. Lovely work here.

Nied is Not Enough by olwen
Thirteen years after Hogwarts, Harry is summoned back as a professor. He finds that life is leading him in a direction he never thought possible and being a human is far more difficult than anything he's ever battled before

Oath breaker by kcwriter
At the start of seventh year, the Malfoys perform a dramatic doublecross and Draco educates Harry in dark magic.

Obscene Obsession, Anby jitter_bug
subtitled: An Exercise in Writing Oral Sex. There are mentions of het sex. There's quite a bit of smut and probably some bad language too. Also, this Draco is a little more fanon than I'm used to writing, though he's not a complete ice prince.
Notes: This is The Fellatio/Smut Fic.

Obscurity of Love by mony2208
Haunted by memories of the war, Harry can’t seem to move on with his life. But then a mysterious obscured figure manages to do what no other could do: make him feel again. There’s just one small problem ... He doesn’t know who this person is. Harry/Draco slash.

Ode to Life by zarah5
Harry and Draco continually run into each other. What are the odds, really?

Ol' Switcheroo, The by Aspen
Notes: When it comes to dirty clothes, switching charmes are not necessarily appropriate alternatives to cleaning charms. One of the most realistic crossdessing fics out- and absolutely divine. 

On the Wings of a Storm by silentauror
The war is upon Draco Malfoy, and there are many hard decisions to be made. DM/HP

One Night at the Ministry by Maeglin Yedi
One night. One party. One arch-nemesis. Lots of champagne. Now all Harry has to do is survive.

Open Doors by zionsstarfish [added: 10th Feb 2006]
Notes: Draco welcomes a stray cat into his home just *knowing* it's Harry Potter.

Origins by Ivyblossom
Notes: You have to read it to see how brilliant Draco and Harry are written. Great characterization and a build up to romance. This is the first in the Cicatrix Cycle and actually my favorite in the series. 

Owlets Trilogy by Blythely
Notes: Three stories: For the Birds, Acropolis and Enfants. Harry's and Draco's owls mate. It brings the reluctant owners together. Simply Charming. 




- - - P - - -

Panacea by switchknife [added: 18th Feb 2006]
Notes: AU where Harry is a cop and recovering from a failed marriage with Cho - and ends up getting distracted/taken care of by Draco. Extremely hot and I wish there were more fics like this. One of the steamiest fics around.

Path to Love, The by Arwen Applestone
A few years after the war, Harry is shocked to find that the new Auror he's supposed to train is none other than Draco Malfoy. Will the two former rivals be able to put their differences behind them and work together? Snarky comments and fluff ensue.

Police Chief, Severus Snape, and his reluctant side-kick Draco Malfoy must discover the truth behind the crimes before anyone else loses their life. Circumstances become even more complicated when new kid in town, Harry Potter, turns out to be the biggest mystery of all. Complete and and plays like a movie in your head. Lovely read.

Per Solum Lacuna: by Words Alone by azhure and wintermoon

Notes: Brilliant fic though to read the uncensored version you have to check the yahoo group

Perfectionism by mirabella
Colin isn't obsessive. He's just a perfectionist. H/D implied, vague one-sided Harry/Colin.

Photograph by taradiane
Funny how such a little thing can change the course of your life...

Notes: With this fic, Sex-talk has become a kink of mine. 

Professional, A by charlotteschaos [added: 4th April 2006]
Post war Harry is surprised with a card delivered by a mystery man that reveals that not only is Draco Malfoy alive, he is rentable by the hour.
Notes: I love seemingly PWP fics that manage to get more interaction, characterization and H/D dynamics than the regular fic. Its about the sex but its also not. Rentboy!Draco fic. Oh and Draco's house elf is called Potty ^__^ What's not to love?

Proof Absolute, The by Setissma
He is standing in a kitchen, listening to Draco Malfoy talk.

Proper Seduction, A by Dacro [added: 23rd Apr 2006]

Redefinition by cupiscent [added: 4th April 2006]
Notes: Based on Definition by pir8fancier. Draco and Harry are both so real and human and *normal* - but in a good way. The story is almost poetic in its beauty and I love the closing lines.  My favorite fic for April.

Sex Magic by velvetblood_fic

Notes: Post- Hogwarts, Post War- Draco holds a party. Harry is with Zacharias Smith. Everyone knows Draco is in love with Harry…except for Harry. But its so realistic and amazing and Draco is so beautifully done. Really love this fic. 

Something Hot and Heavy by velvetblood_fic

Surprise, A by litesprite [added: 18th Feb 2006]

Notes: Almost an original-fairytale-that-happens-to-be-about-a-gay-boy.

Tale of the Shining Prince by illuferret
Notes: I love this fic but have come to loathe the sequels because they're so painful. The author is simply amazing though- so very gifted.

Terrible/Perfect by marksykins [added: 21st Jun 2006]
Fantasy Fest request - "I would love a first kiss between the two that comes as a shock to both of them, is surprisingly sweet and not violent, and is described in remarkable detail."
Notes: The smoothness of the H/D interaction is definitely not the norm. I can't quite explain it but it just...works. Its like you're using your hands to frame a shot and then it all just clicks in your head and you can't help thinking - "That's it. That's perfect"

Thicker Than Blood by Corvetteclaire
It is Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, and Voldemort has returned to full power. The Death Eaters lay siege to the castle, trapping everyone inside.

Till Death Do Us Part by anna_michelle87
Notes: Harry and Draco are Healers in this fic. Smacked me of medical romance for a sec but its mainly a domestic fic :) 

Tissue of Silver by Fearless Diva
A love story concerning possessed furniture, black silk pyjamas, courtroom drama, premonitions of doom, assassination attempts, Death Eater yoga, absinthe, bare feet and a sensible werewolf.

Tomorrow by novembersnow

Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow by novembersnow
In the war-torn years after Hogwarts, one man has no knowledge of his yesterdays

Too Much & Touch by furiosity [added: 18th Feb 2006]
Notes: These are two drabbles that are not related in any way- except they deal with the same theme and in my opinion, reading them side by side makes the experience even better.

Transformation by Amalin

Trinity by mirabella

Notes: Very unusual and unique- definitely a different take on the Trio 

Turncoats, The by cobweb_diamond
Two enemies become indebted to one another and help each other survive the war, despite the fact that they are on opposing sides. Possibly a love affair, possibly a betrayal, and certainly nothing either one of them could have predicted.

Two Flush by furiosity [added: 10th Feb 2006]
War is often more about waiting than anything else. Draco thinks poker is an adequate way to pass the time. Harry disagrees




- - - U - - -

Neville waits too long. H/D

Underwater Light by mistful
Featuring an extremely depressed Harry, in a war-torn wizarding world, about to get the shock of his life when he discovers that Draco Malfoy is slightly more important to him than he would have ever guessed. Including a very odd friendship, lots of angst, suspicions, conflicted loyalties, clueless Ron, on-the-warpath Hermione and two very messed-up boys.

Under the Weather by moonflower_rose [added: 10th Feb 2006]
Draco has the flu

Unintentional Surrender by Anansay
Draco finds himself obsessing over Potter, and plans revenge.

Unite or Crumble by Lunadeath02

Unthinkable Thoughts by Aidan Lynch
When Harry and Draco first met in Madam Malkin's robe shop, neither of them could have anticipated how much loathing and mistrust would follow. But one day in their fifth year something happens which forces Harry and Draco to reconsider exactly what such abhorrence is founded on. Little by little, each of them is overwhelmed by Unthinkable Thoughts, and they begin the voyage that takes them from their safe harbours of deep suspicion well out into uncharted waters. And the more they discover, the more the realise that things can never be the same again!
Notes: My introductory fic into the H/D world in 2001 - will always be memorable.

White by jamie2109

White Horses by Jackie Stevens
They say that there are no white horses—those that we think of as white are really just a faded and deceiving grey. Names can be misleading and definitions can be false, and yet through the maze of artifice and deceit, we might just find something true. When Harry returns for his last two years at Hogwarts School, he will find that boundaries are shifting and not everyone is who he thought—including himself. He will have to learn that change is like those elusive white horses: swift, beautiful and irretrievable.

If any of them make you squee, I'd love to hear about it!

That was pretty much what I was aiming for- a list that covers the ficlets and fics by non-major authors that get overlooked or even the stuff by major authors that everyone should read. There's stuff from LJ, ff.net, skyehawke.com, hexfiles, private archives etc.

The idea was to widen H/D fan's scope for fics. There's so much stuff but its not too easy to find. This way people get to discover some 'new' talent :)

So if you have a rainy day without much to do, you'll probably be able to while away some time here...

I was wondering if you've read [info]eutychides's Things That Change? It's a brilliant H/D fic which is nearly finished (one more chapter remaining). It is mpreg, but that certainly shouldn't sway you because it is nothing like the usual fluffy or cracked out mpreg fic you'll find in fandom. It is gritty and real and has brilliant characterizations. I highly recommend it. <3

I think I probably have run across it before- will need to go check it out- anyway, thanks for the link! And yes, m-preg has a tendency for fluff, though I recall the fic Genesis wasn't quite like that...

Not a problem.

Genesis is the one set during HBP...right? That was a very decent mpreg fic, but it didn't really go on about life post-birth...which I think is always really interesting to see.

'ello, I found your user at random looking for a Ichigo/Renji (Bleach) fanfic writer when I found a fellow Harry/Draco addict instead ^^". I love your list, 'tis most wonderful, but it shocked me to see you dont have Starts With a Spin by Maxine on here, 'cause its by far the greatist fic I've read of the pairing. The link is here in case your intrested: http://maxine.under-my-umbrella.org/indexx.php?x=SWAS all of her fanfics are good actually, but this one's my favorite so far >_< ja ne~

Ah, I remember reading it but it was still a WIP back then...must go back and complete it. Thanks for the rec!

Wow, the only mention I have of my Ichigo/Renji love is on my userinfo page. In fact, I have yet to read any, despite my love of the pairing. If you have any recs or authors that you know of...I'd worship you.
Serenity now, insanity later.

Wow, this is a really great list. So many of my favourite fics are there, and also lots I haven't read yet. :D

Btw, the link for "The Veela Allurement" by Illucia seems to be wrong. It connects to "The Diary of Draco Malfoy" at Astronomy Tower. The correct link is here (in case you can't find it). :D

Yay! Thanks so much for the FB :) I can never be certain how anyone might like it 'cause the recs are to fics of so many different lengths/styles/types.

Will update the link on next update - I'd never find it on my own, so definitely owe you ^__^

Lol, your fics were among the first to be added if I remember correctly - just, really really love 'em :) Though I'm missing all your new stuff I think because I have yet to go through hd_365 *headdesk*

Hi there!
I am always so surprised to see that Nied has made it onto someone's fic rec list! It really is quite an honor! I noticed that you have it linked to E&S, but there are far more chapters on Schnoogle. It is up to Chapter 19 on Schnoogle. I recently lost the rest of my chapters that were on my jump drive so the end will have to be re-written. I know, I know...I should have made a back-up...but that WAS my back-up. My hard drive needed to be wiped. Sooooo....it will be a bit, but the story will be eventually finished.

Again, thank you so much for adding NINE to your list of recs. I really can't tell you how happy that makes me!

Re: Hi there!
Nied is such a lovely fic - and now to find that there are more chaps just makes me squee ^___^ I updated the link so everyone else can get onto the most updated archive.

To lose the fic chapters - god, that must have been heart wrenching. I freak out when I lose my *bookmarks* - would probably have a minor meltdown if I lost several thousand words of fic I wrote *shudders*

Am glad to have put a smile on your face - I always feel remiss in the fact that I don't squee enough about the fics I like - the rec list is to sort of make up for it - kind of like a kudos to the authors who really made an impression on the shipper in me. So thanks for the lovely read!

hey, just leaving you a note to say 'wow, great job!' thanks for consolidating the sprawling h/d fandom, it must have taking lots of effort (:

anyway, was wondering if you've read in dialogia by ivyblossom and libertine? a few of the older rec sites have it up, but the links are all dead hurhur. would be nice to see a working link to it somewhere, at least :D epic poetry!

...it's so biiiig. *does a jig*

I would like to rec a fic though: Sacrifices Arc by Lightning on the Wave
http://archive.skyehawke.com/authors.php?no=1324
The author created his or her own version of Harry's 7 years, and I can already see you backing away. But wait! What's this? There's also Harry's twin brother named Conner! Harry's in Slytherin and Snape is his mentor! Oh no! You're probably screaming in fear just about now. Hehe....I had too much fun with that. Well, 4th year is where the H/D kicks in, but I really enjoy the fanfic so far (still reading it). Could you give it try?

Thank you for the recs! You are full of awesome beans!

Gossymer, I really have enjoyed using this rec-list to stumble upon wonderful H/D stories that I haven't read yet. I love Furiosity's stories a lot too! I was just wondering why you haven't recommended any of Megyal's fics. She's written sooo sooo many good fics! I'm sorry if you already have and I didn't notice.
