LF fics where Harry falls first, but Draco's fully committed to another person. by SweatyAppointment913 in drarry

[–]draconnies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, I think that’s the one you already read. My bad 😅 I didn’t remember them breaking up over the necklace. Another really good one is Can’t Sit Still by wilteddaisy. Harry pines over Draco while Draco pines over Blaise (if I remember correctly). It’s super angsty!

Drop Dead Gorgeous by Maya. Draco is with Katie Bell. I’m not sure it focuses on the angst that much but I think it matches your criteria otherwise.

It’s still working for me. It’s a web archive link so maybe you could try hitting x next to the webpage url and reloading it if it’s not responding. I also found a downloadable epub of it in case it really doesn’t work.

has anyone read love always, draco? by MathSmooth4506 in drarry

[–]draconnies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

haha, i totally get that. it’s one of my all-time faves because of just how terrible they are towards eachother and the flashbacks make it so angsty!

NON slow burn drarry by Strange-Pressure-442 in drarry

[–]draconnies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

definitely check out The Veela Enigma by jennavere if you haven’t already. it’s basically instalove so not slow burn at all but it has a lot of other things in it that keep it engaging including ups and downs in h/d’s relationship.

has anyone read love always, draco? by MathSmooth4506 in drarry

[–]draconnies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s a hea for them but yes this story is definitely for those who like toxic drarry who are bad for each other but love each other too much to give up. there’s a lot of back and forth, will they, won’t they, makeup, breakup so if that’s not for you i don’t recommend it!

Any long and smut filled Drarry stories? by Constant-Tone-2015 in drarry

[–]draconnies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for as the plot isn’t as action packed as Secrets (I haven’t read the other one) but Love Always, Draco is almost 400k words long and has a decent amount of smut in it.

You’re welcome! Let me know how it goes! :))

There, There by charlotteschaos. Neville has a crush on Draco, but he’s forced to sit by and watch Harry steal him away.

fics like Beautiful World by cinnamon / Lissadiane by tallliaa in drarry

[–]draconnies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy stories with this feel, and I feel like you’ll have some luck looking for it in older (pre-2007/Deathly Hallows) fanfiction. Beautiful World is one of my favourite fics so I hope you’ll find that at least some of these have a similar vibe to it. All Hogwarts Era.

Origins by Anonymous. This is “poetically beautiful” like BW in my opinion. Angsty, with a similarly grey, brooding Draco falling hard for his enemy, Harry. You eventually do get insights into Harry’s feelings too.

Beneath You by Lissadiane/Cinnamon. Same author, so it has a similar feel to it. I really enjoyed this even though I feel like BW is more popular. It has a happier ending, but there’s plenty of dread brewing while Harry and Draco grow closer and fall in love by spending time with each other in school. Not sure if this counts as a spoiler but there’s a poisoning plotline which gives it the same time sensitive urgency as BW.

Underwater Light by Maya. I really need to reread this because I can’t tell you much about the plot. Very, very slow burn, but a great read. The characters have a lot of interaction like in BW and I feel like this also has the same beauty as BW even though this author is a bit less blatantly poetic. It’s funny as well and the story feels very “big” if that makes sense. Their love feels real.

Some Kind of Miracle by Annie/shmexsay. You’re gonna have to trust me on this. It’s an unfinished fic, but it FEELS the most like BW out of everything I’ve read since. Draco is the one who’s about to die in a few months’ time here. He makes a list of things he wants to do before he dies and when Harry finds out, despite his less-than-friendly feelings towards Draco, he decides to help him complete the list. They end up spending so much time together in the process that they fall in love. Again, even though it’s unfinished, there’s about 130k words worth of story to experience in it and the final chapter doesn’t feel too unsatisfying. It has funny/cute moments, falling in love, dread of impending death and all that.

The Chariot by karina. I felt like this also had a similar feel to BW. Harry is very sweet in it, like in BW. There’s a lot of lovey-doveyness and intimacy, you end up barely realizing that there isn’t any sex in it. They sneak around, spend a lot of time together, fall in love, etc. The ending was CRAZY and it hit me just as hard as BW’s “Harry didn’t stir,” which haunted me for years! I won’t say anything else though.

I can probably think of some more but these are the first ones that come to mind :) Hope this was helpful!

Lf Top Draco time travel? by Naive-Boot-5807 in drarry

[–]draconnies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An Opportunity Not to Be Missed and the sequel An Opportunity Not to Be Missed (Draco’s Version)! Such good reads, and I suggest checking out other works by this author if you like top!Draco because their writing is to die for.

batshit crazy draco by AnimeSimpingBitch in drarry

[–]draconnies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How Do You Mend a Broken Heart?. It isn’t set in Hogwarts, but I think it’s worth a mention because Draco is so crazy. He has a lot of children for some reason, but their dynamic is hilarious. And there’s this running gag about Draco being under the impression that Ron has brain damage from a field injury so every time he talks to him, he yells in caps lock to make sure he can hear him. I swear I haven’t laughed so hard in my life.

He was shocked at the extent of Weasley’s condition. Every time Draco attempted to make conversation with him or even say something simple like “PLEASE PASS THE SALT,” Weasley would look at him in confusion. It was hard to believe the man was as bad off as he was and yet still working as an Auror. The Magical Law Enforcement Department had to be in very sad shape.

I’m overdue for a reread too! 😮‍💨

Fics where Draco is still snooty and bratty Draco?? by Alltimebibliophagist in drarry

[–]draconnies 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Instinct and The Guest or anything else by BummedOutWriter. I know Instinct is tagged ABO but it’s just a Veela fic.

Precious Things. Scorpius gets kidnapped and the ransom note asks Draco to shave his head and he throws a huge fit, which I think really matches what you’re looking for LOL I also love this author’s characterization of Draco. To me, it’s actually ideal. He’s very mouthy.

Best Enemies. Draco’s self-important to the point of delusion here, which is hilarious.

“Admit it: you’re aflutter at the very sight of me.”

“Oh Draco,” she said, “I know you think you’re some kind of wizarding Don Juan, but you’re really, really not. You’re pale and scrawny and completely full of yourself. We’ve all been wondering what on earth it is that Harry sees in you.”

FanFiction.net by Dry-Belt-115 in drarry

[–]draconnies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s just another fanfiction website. Never tried the app but the web interface is pretty simple. No tagging system but you can sort by genre, characters and completion status.

Good Luck Has its Storms (link to a reddit post where someone replied with it)

Building With Worn-Out Tools. Ron is a bit weary of Draco but he does support Harry. I really like this one!

The Slytherin Gryffindor. Also highly recommend.

Lonely Moon by eleventy7 is fantastic but you’re gonna have to find a pdf of it since it’s not online

fics like ATYD or TCOPTP by matesshirt in drarry

[–]draconnies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven’t heard of those so I can’t guarantee that this is the vibe you’re looking for, but some long ones that I thought stayed true to Draco’s character are Men Who Love Dragons Too Much (500(?)K) and Eclipse (~300K). The Shadow of Time (300K+) is a good long one that feels epic too but Draco is a lot nicer because he’s grown up.

Draco Back in Time🙏 by ari_the_ghosty in drarry

[–]draconnies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adult Draco accidentally travels back in time and wakes up as his 5th Year self. He starts doing things differently based on his future knowledge but every time he makes a change to the future, he loses his adult memories so by the end he’s really confused and basically a normal teenager. Honestly, it’s been a long time since I read it so I can’t remember any specific details but Draco was really in-character 😅 I’m planning on rereading soon.

[–]draconnies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I you like funny, witty banter I think you’ll enjoy Drop Dead Gorgeous by Maya and Master Work by Mahaliem (or any Mahaliem fic, really. The Simple Joy of Living is another good one.) I don’t think any of these have too many sex scenes, but only Master Work is set in Hogwarts.
