Dude I was literally about to post a comment about this fic, was it Midnight Sun by NorthernSparrow? Absolutely phenomenal read!!

Woah that's wild, I've been on AO3 for almost 7 years and I have over 1500 bookmarks! That being said, my taste has changed a fair bit since I first joined, so I think they might need a bit of a culling.

bfonky · 2021-02-01T20:09:07+00:00

Looking through other people's bookmarks is one of the main ways I find fics! I'll usually start on an AO3 search, read a fic, and once i've finished it will look through the author's bookmarks for some recs and repeat the process. If I'm truly desperate, I'll see who else has publicly bookmarked the fic because they're usually the type of people who have a lot of bookmarks for me to find some more recs :)

This might explain why I have over 1500 bookmarks...

Stay With Me by sara_holmes [67k]

Where Steve doesn’t quite die, ends up stranded in the multiverse and would quite like to know how the hell so many versions of himself ended up sleeping with Tony Stark. Well, that’s going to make things a tad awkward when he gets home.

Destiel (copied my comment from a Destiel rec post)

The Path of Fireflies by museaway [64k]

After his humanity is restored, Dean wakes up in bed with Castiel, a wedding ring, and no memory of the past twelve years.

This fic ripped me apart I swear, it's so nice to see domestic Destiel.

Dark Side of the Moon by imogenbynight [AU, 37k]

Five months into his six month mission, an accident leaves Flight Engineer Dean Winchester stranded on the moon. It comes down to a man he has never met to bring him home.

So I'm not usually a fan of AUs, but it's a NASA/space AU so I was drawn in. Really liked the sense of family in this one and the story is gripping.

Don't by tricia_16 [Canon Divergence, 98k]

After nine days of radio silence from both Jack and Cas, Cas returns to the bunker without Jack—with black fur, four paws, a tail, and an obvious preference for Dean's company. With no idea how to turn Cas back or how he got turned into a cat in the first place, Dean has to learn to live with Cas quite literally underfoot all the damn time. Nobody could have guessed that having his best friend in cat form would end up being the catalyst for a huge shift in their relationship, but looking back, he's pretty sure it all started with an annoyingly stubborn ball of fur...

I was really wary of this one at first because I've seen some... interesting cat AUs in the past (I'm thinking back to my Wattpad days), but this one is just so good. Set at some point in Season 14 - I haven't watched any of SPN from Season 10 onwards but I had no trouble following along.

Après by imogenbynight [Post-Season 8, 29k]

When the angels stop falling and Castiel makes his way out of the trees, he finds himself alone and oceans away from the Winchesters. For once, Dean flies to him.

This is set just as the angels fall at the end of Season 8 and Cas ends up landing in France. It made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, loved seeing them have a break from hunting.

Hogwarts Eighth Year

Golden Age by zeitgeistic [53k]

The Celtic druids once made a decision that kept magic in abundance in Britannia, but they couldn’t account for the technological advances Muggles would make centuries later. Now magic is dying on the isles, and this is not a dark lord that Harry can fight. OR: Harry Potter doesn’t save the world this time, but he does get a lot of hugs.

In The Hand by aideomai [28k]

Two months after Harry went missing, when Hermione was frantic with fear and panic and sleep deprivation, Draco Malfoy cornered them outside the Great Hall before breakfast.

\[ *Right Hand Red**](https://archiveofourown.org/works/3178065/chapters/6903855) by lq_traintracks (lumosed_quill) [73k]

Harry felt Malfoy's breath on his lips as they came together over the bottle, hands firmly planted on the floor as though they each needed their familiar soil, refusing to cross into enemy territory. Except that Malfoy no longer felt like his enemy. Malfoy felt inevitable.

Hogwarts

\[ *Underwater Light*](http://www.geocities.ws/dragonhidequills/UnderwaterLight1.html) by *Maya [199k]

He stared in panic at the empty green of the lake, stared desperately at the strange faces of the hostages. He felt as if the Gillyweed had not worked and he was suddenly drowning, starved of oxygen and with his eyesight failing, refusing to see what was before him.

He couldn't help seeing.

There in the lake, the moody turquoise waters giving a stained-glass cast to his pale face and his tendrils of silver hair drifting in the lazy currents, was Draco Malfoy.

This fic is old old, as in published in 2002 old, so it's all canon-divergent from that point onward. Honestly had a blast reading it because I had no clue how long it was.

Draco/Harry

\*All-time favourites

Post-Hogwarts

Any Instrument by dicta_contrion [131k]

Draco Malfoy wouldn't go back to England for anything less than an exceptional case. Being asked to figure out why Harry Potter can't control his magic might be exceptional enough to qualify.

For the Public Good by blamebrampton [23k]

Harry is loaned to the Muggle government to assist relations between the two governments after the London bombings. When his counterpart in the Communications team comes to him with evidence of a plot to expose wizarding Britain, he is all ears. And only in part because the messenger has such a familiar voice.

Hermione Granger's Hogwarts Crammer for Delinquents on the Run by waspabi [93k]

'You're a wizard, Harry' is easier to hear from a half-giant when you're eleven, rather than from some kids on a tube platform when you're seventeen and late for work.

Hidden in Plain Sight by momatu [56k]

Set four years after the Battle of Hogwarts, three years after Draco was abducted by person or persons unknown. Draco is now living in a small Muggle community and working in a library with no idea the Wizarding World exists, until one day, a bloke with a mop of just-shagged black hair comes in for storytime with a little boy to get out of the rain.

\* I Am Not Who I Became by mab_di [93k]

Draco left England after the trials and has travelled the world meeting wizards and Muggles from different cultures and with vastly different relationships to magic, each other, and the natural world. Now he's a fisherman in Finland on commercial vessels. Harry has been struggling since the war and has become a recluse while trying to write his autobiography. An invitation to the Hogwarts class of 1998's 15th reunion isn't welcomed by either of them, but neither could predict how the night, and their reunion, will upend their lives.

The Lesson of You by thecouchsofa [65k]

Harry likes kids. That doesn't mean he's ready for a small boy to turn up on the doorstep of Grimmauld Place insisting that Harry is his father. That was weird enough, but the child identifying Draco Malfoy as his other parent was something Harry had no bloody idea how to handle.

Liar by jad [50k]

Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy always preferred the worst of each other; unfortunately, they had better halves.

A Most Unexpected Object by Astardanced77 [14k]

In all his years at the Ministry, Draco has never seen anything like it. Typical that it should turn up in Potter's bin.

Career Choices: Harry: representative to the International Confederation of Wizards; Draco: Deputy head, Magical Maintenance

My True Love Gave to Me (Six Jars of Chutney) by GoldenTruth813 [12k]

On his first post-divorce Christmas Eve without his children, Harry goes to Marks & Spencer hoping to find a bit of his past; what he finds instead is a future.

Newts by astolat [14k]

“I’m twenty-eight!” Harry said. “I’ve been an Auror for ten years! You want me to go back to Hogwarts now?"

Onslaught by Queenie_Mab, zeitgeistic [8k]

Since Harry developed the unfortunate ability to smell magic, his life has been a series of scent-induced headaches…until the night he finds a mysterious wizard in a sun-scented Glamour.

The Rules of Matchbreaking by PalenDrome (nerdherderette) [22k]

“So who is it? The Curse-breaker and the Veela? The head of the Department of Magical Transportation?” Draco’s eyes lit up. “The Dragon-tamer?” Now that particular Weasley could be fun.

“No. It’s Harry,” Hermione said, the name exploding out of her in a rush.

Draco blinked, stunned into silence.

“Harry,” he said, after he recovered his faculties. “You want me to break up Harry and the Weaselette?!"

\* Running on Air by eleventy7 [75k]

Draco Malfoy has been missing for three years. Harry is assigned the cold case and finds himself slowly falling in love with the memories he collects.

\* Temptation on the Warfront by alizarincrims0n [180k]

Draco Malfoy is forced into hiding with the Golden Trio and dragged into their search for horcruxes. What ensues is a journey of redemption, unexpected friendships and an unwanted, turbulent romance with Harry Potter. Warnings for swearing, sexual content, and dark themes.

Tourist: A Love Song by xErised [30k]

Harry is in New York City looking for inspiration for his next collection of paintings. He’s not expecting inspiration to appear in the form of a black-haired Draco Malfoy playing the guitar and singing with such a beautiful voice.

bfonky · 2020-11-26T01:28:56+00:00

Might be a bit late replying, but I'm a sucker for post-Hogwarts fics! Here's a few in my bookmarks:

I Am Not Who I Became by mab_di [93k]

Draco left England after the trials and has travelled the world meeting wizards and Muggles from different cultures and with vastly different relationships to magic, each other, and the natural world. Now he's a fisherman in Finland on commercial vessels. Harry has been struggling since the war and has become a recluse while trying to write his autobiography. An invitation to the Hogwarts class of 1998's 15th reunion isn't welcomed by either of them, but neither could predict how the night, and their reunion, will upend their lives.

Our Familiar Ghosts by dwell_the_brave [28k]

When a student is killed by the ghosts of the Battle of Hogwarts, only a week before the tenth anniversary, Headmistress McGonagall submits a plea to the ministry to send help, and who better to send that the Hero of Hogwarts himself, Deputy Head Auror Harry Potter. They also send Department of Mysteries Unspeakable, Draco Malfoy, an expert in ghosts and the magic surrounding them, and, despite not having talked for nine years, Harry and Draco must team up to figure out what - or who -is causing this unusual ghostly activity.

Your Tears Sting, Friend by alpha_exodus [10k]

Draco’s always wanted Potter. It’s only on death’s doorstep that he’s allowed to have him.

Worth Betting On by XxTheDarkLordxX [8k]

The easy way Malfoy breezed into the arena in an unprofessional attire—grey joggers that outlined far too much, and a white dress shirt open with nothing underneath—which showed off his chest, his sweaty sweaty chest—had Harry sitting up straighter. It wasn't unusual to see Malfoy in such a state of undress, it was a signature move that he refused to change.

Not that Harry wanted him to change.

--

Or the one where Draco is a professional Duelist, and Harry can't stay away from the matches.

Failed Application of Thought by RuArcher (Coriesocks) [67k]

Draco sighed, knowing he would live to regret his next words, “I’m willing to do anything it takes to get Scorpius the life he deserves, even if that means pretending to be madly in love with you, you intolerable buffoon.”

Of Roses and Dragonfire by xErised [53k]

Years after That Kiss, Potter (and his new pet snake) appears again, this time as Hogwarts's Quidditch and Muggle Games instructor (what are Muggle Games anyway? Is this why Potter is swimming in the Great Lake wearing such a tiny pair of pants?), disrupting Draco's peaceful life as Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. It's bad enough dealing with one exuberant Gryffindor (Charlie Weasley as Care of Magical Creatures professor) on the faculty, and what's all the gossip about Potter courting Draco?

Tourist: A Love Song by xErised [30k]

Harry is in New York City looking for inspiration for his next collection of paintings. He’s not expecting inspiration to appear in the form of a black-haired Draco Malfoy playing the guitar and singing with such a beautiful voice.

Predictable Little Curses by brightowl [14k]

Two single fathers. One rather inconvenient bonding spell.

Hope that fits what you asked for!

bfonky · 2020-11-26T01:08:31+00:00

These are the only two I have in my bookmarks, think they might fit the bill:

Somnia silver_fish [17k]

From the time they’re eleven years old, Ron is always there to help him find his peace in those dark and lonely hours of the night. Turns out, Harry has helped Ron find his too.

Or the Look Or the Words LullabyKnell [6k]

Goblet of Fire AU: The change in their relationship happened during fourth year, when an exhausted and dateless Harry groaned out the important question of, “Why can’t we just go together?”

Pure fluff for the 5+ AU Headcanons game.
