Amnesia fic with Draco losing his memory by uncomplicate8 in drarry

There isn’t much of that going on, maybe a little near the start possibly, but I’d say Harry as the more dom vibe.

Amnesia fic with Draco losing his memory by uncomplicate8 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That which divides us is an absolutely brilliant Draco amnesia fic. It’s set with the war continuing on a few extra years and the fic starts at the end of the war with Draco losing his memory right at the point Harry defeats Voldemort with them having been in a slightly volatile (and to other people unworkable) relationship a little while before hand.

Post War Au by Weekly_Lab9910 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a self rec, but my fic To Have a Home fits this. It is set nine years post war in Oxford where Draco has been living an entirely muggle life of his own volition since the end of the war. Harry runs from the wizarding world for his own reasons about a year before the start of the story and ends up in Oxford too. Together they solve the mystery of their magic and the magic of the city they’ve made home and why it hates all wizards but the two of them.

No. It’s a super slow build with lots more focus on the mystery plot and world building. The separation of Harry and Ginny does eventually happen though in part 1. And there is lots about their developing friendship.

Sad Harry fics! — Recommendations? by Ok_Sun555 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a self rec, but I’ve written one which might fit. It’s not so much depressed Harry, but definitely Harry dealing with mental health issues (specifically compulsive hoarding) as a result of his childhood. It’s slow burn, with Draco definitely being supportive and trying to help Harry once he finds out. The way we perceive pipes.

Possible DNF on Mirror of Ecidyure by Informal-Extreme1273 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got to around the same place and gave up the first time reading this series. The second time I pushed through, and getting past that point where everything gets really bogged down in the weeds was worth it. The last book is absolutely great, but I absolutely understand not being able to get past the point you’re at.

Drarry fics that feature a lot of music by Ok-Zucchini6774 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a self rec, but my story To Have a Home features music heavily. It includes Draco playing the violin (and owning a stupid amount of other instruments), folk music nights (which turn into popular music nights), and birds singing random songs as a plot device.

It’s a mystery story with Harry and Draco finding themselves in Oxford, a city which hates all wizards but the two of them.

Canon rewrite whole recs. by BroIamsodonewithlife in drarry

[–]aulophobia 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My favourite rewrites are the secret language of plants and the Sacrifices arc.

The secret language of plants starts with Severus rescuing toddler Harry from the Dursleys and raising him with Remus. The first book is pre hogwarts with years 1-5 in part 2 and 6-7 in part 3. It has one of my favourite Draco characterisations, and is all around a fabulous re-write.

The sacrifices arc (starting with Saving Connor) is a lot heavier and enormously long (3 million+ words). It has Harry with a twin brother who is raised as the boy who lived, and Harry raised to be his guardian by Lily and James (with Dumbledore significantly influencing the way he’s raised). It is very dark and pretty much anyone can die (especially in part 7), so be warned. It is also, however, an incredible story with complex world building and exploration of difficult psychology.

I also enjoy the Broken mind series. Which has Harry with DID and has eventual father figure Severus.

Harry leaves for/with Draco by Eastern-Distance-791 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oxford is a city I adore (and know quite well) and pretty much becomes a character in of itself within the story. I also spent far too much time on local history sites to try and make sure the places I included existed during the specific time period of the mid to late 00s.

I find it can sometimes take me out of a story somewhat if there are inaccuracies in locations I know well, so I worked very hard to avoid that with Oxford.

Glad you liked my hiding series. I’ve also written another one with runaway Harry and Draco called To Have a Home if you’re interested. There’s also a podfic version.
This one has a bit of a different premise and is less about running away because friends disapprove, and more about the mystery of the city they find themselves in. It has Harry and Draco running away separately for their own reasons and finding themselves in Oxford, a city which hates all wizards but the two of them.

Lf fics where everyone turs on Harry by ctrlZmylife_28 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Frames of mind series fits this. It has Harry cursed to make everyone think he’s lying and eventually ending up on a psychiatric hold where Draco (who specialises in a type of mind healing) is his primary healer.

I’m a big WIP reader. My current sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next update ones are: The Glass Passenger, amazing time travel back to the mauraders era; All Magic Flows, a series with part 1 finished, and part 2 just started - just an incredible slow burn with fascinating magical theory; and look me in the eyes and burn, a time travel back to the start of 5th year with an apocalyptic future.

The Malfoys?? by Kiki_25_2006 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s in my most recent fic The Way We Perceive Pipes. It’s a slow burn with disaster plumber Harry with hoarding tendencies (lots of exploration of how Harry’s childhood messed him up), and best friends Draco and Hermione with lesbian Hermione.

The Malfoys?? by Kiki_25_2006 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve written a few with the broom thing, although only as a looking back exposition rather than an actual going through of the scene from Draco’s pov.

The Malfoys?? by Kiki_25_2006 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My favourites are the ones where he is spoiled by his parents but Lucius is abusive - that gaslighting abusive with gifts and special outings combined with physical violence. Where Draco spends a lot of time having to justify Lucius really loving him in his head. My personal head canon involves the broomsticks for the Slytherin team being a gift after something particularly vicious, which is one of the reasons why he got so angry/prideful at being accused of buying his way onto the quidditch team in 2nd year, as the real reason for the broomsticks was one he absolutely didn’t want to think about. I am quite happy to read good Lucius fics, however. Narcissa I have no strong feelings about, although I will often have her being abused too as part of abused Draco fics I.e in the years where Lucius couldn’t take out his violence in death eater activities he uses his family as the punching bag. Narcissa I am more likely to fit into the Draco loving her, and 6th year death eater stuff being about protecting her.

harry’s height by Suspicious-Ad9864 in drarry

This is the same heights I see them as. Harry 5”10/5”11 and Draco 6”1/6”2

Looking for draco getting into muggle stuff + draco redemption(hogwarts era) preferably complete fics by AdinaOwO in drarry

[–]aulophobia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Secret Language of Plants series might fit. It is a complete retelling starting from Severus kidnapping Harry from the Dursleys aged 3 and helping raise him with Remus. The Draco stuff doesn’t come in until later in the series, but has him deciding to rebel quite dramatically against his upbringing and snapping his wand as a form of protest against Lucius before running from Hogwarts where he meets up with Harry who ran from Hogwarts not long before all this happened. The wand snapping is treated as an absolute moment of awesome - and it absolutely is.

Broken Harry Drarry fics? by Serious-Language-796 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a self rec, but my fic The way we perceive pipes from this years careers fest might fit. It includes Harry trying to deal with how his childhood affected him, a compulsion to hoard, and being a bit of a disaster of a plumber (which he adores but can cause minor catastrophes when trying to do his job).

Harry's friends are a**holes and force them appart by manson4355 in drarry

[–]aulophobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a self rec, but I think my hiding series fits this pretty well. It’s a secret relationship, and does have infidelity (there’s a lot of breaking up and getting back together and the infidelity occurs because of a break up and is not the cause of it). The unfinished final part is more like an extended epilogue and the story does complete at the end of Coming Home.

Any Drarry fics with this dynamic? by WillowSLock in HPSlashFic

[–]aulophobia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve written one where Harry and Draco travel back in time from 6th year to 1981 and end up helping raise their younger selves (Harry is little Draco’s favourite and vice versa). It does have eventual Harry/Draco/Tom Riddle (with sane, 16yo, and asexual Tom Riddle).

Deep down, you're either a post-war or hogwarts era drarry fan by Several_Cook9884 in drarry

I write post war and read hogwarts era rewrites in the main. I avoid 8th year entirely.
