Paper Hearts [Harry Potter, Drarry]

Paper Hearts by DorthyAnn (JenniferMarie)

Draco makes origami. Harry collects them. All of them. It's not a problem, he just... he likes them, a great deal.

So much fluff and cuteness.

It Takes Two [Harry Potter, Drarry]

It Takes Two by DorthyAnn (JenniferMarie)

A potion accident combines Harry and Draco into one body for a day. As a single shared mind they're smarter, more reckless, and far too confident. Leaving their friends worried and sometimes annoyed. Except for Blaise, who thinks it's all hilarious.

This is one of the weirdest things I have ever read so far. Seriously. Nothing is really surprising in here but seriously what the fuck is going on here. Also. Blaise is the best.

This also makes so much sense. Like everything seems so much clearer and even their fighting has a purpose. And that's it. Seriously. Just read it. Please. This is awesome.

head over heels [Harry Potter, Drarry]

head over heels by derekmaliknurse

Everyone in Harry’s life thinks he’s engaged to Malfoy. The solution to this is not pretending to date Malfoy, but here he is doing that anyway.

And we are back to the land of misunderstandings and shitty communication where Draco and Harry are the ruling kings.

Okay but seriously. Their whole friendship was pretty much their stubborn asses trying to see who cracks first. But then something else happened and they just kept going forward without talking and actually thinking.

So basically they are dating without realizing it and everybody around them are just facepalming because of these two idiots. This fic is just Harry and Draco going with the flow because the can't be arsed to actually talk and communicate. That's it. This is the fallout and how they actually got their shit together. The hardest, weirdest, shittiest way possible but still got their shit together.

Yup. Have fun!

Let him lead me to the banquet [Harry Potter, Drarry]

Let him lead me to the banquet by harryromper

The worst part is Harry’s got no idea why Malfoy keeps sending him invites. He’s never replied to a single one. And if the whole dinner is as exclusive and sought-after as the Prophet keeps breathlessly reporting, then presumably the only reason Malfoy wants him there is in his capacity as the Chosen One. So, really, he can fuck right off. Harry doesn’t care about Draco Malfoy’s redemption tour. And he’s certainly not going to help him with it.

I may be addicted to the idea that Harry suffers the most after the war. Like he doesn't really have anything he wants to do after the war, he has no goals, nothing is happening and his whole life has been suffering in different forms. First his super bad relatives, then weird school years where he is always almost dying, then the whole war and actually dying. It would be pretty weird if any of that wouldn't really affect him at all.

So. I really like the idea that Harry is lost and that he has PTSD and maybe that he is kind of paralyzed because no one is actually making him suffer and no one is telling him what to do anymore.

And then there is Draco who is trying to go back to his roots and just going with the flow with Muggle things. I really liked the idea that he learns how to use a phone and computer. How he finds a new life in the Muggle world.

Then the charities. I liked that idea. Draco doing something really outside of the box and it still has the values of tradition and how there have been seven generations of Malfoys doing the charity dinners. I liked that idea, I liked how it just made Draco feel so Draco but the adult version of himself.

The thing is. This ending is so fucking adult that I even can't anymore. They are just so adult and grown up and trying to make the world a better place. And in the meantime, they are actually trying to heal and be better themselves. I liked that. I also liked the peace and quiet the fic radiated. Everyone was just so calm and perfect and I loved it.

There probably wasn't that many things I didn't like. I can't even think one right now. So yea. Go and read this. Seriously. 

Loath to Love You [L Word, Sharmen, Nc-17]

Loath to Love You by L.R.Owen

AU Sharmen One Shot - The line between love and hate is thin. Though Shane didn't realize how thin it really was until one night at a party changes everything, and the unexpected happens - she falls for enemy number 1, Carmen Morales.

I'm not sure what I liked the most about this fic. The characters? The setup? The storytelling? Because I liked it all and some other stuff.

Maybe the best part was how in love Shane is and how she doesn't really know how to handle that. After that everything just somehow goes from there.

Okay. Their relationship didn't really start that easy and actually, nothing about their relationship was easy. At some point, they just were laying on the road and shit started to happen. And from that it just was freefalling. Or maybe the freefalling started earlier. I don't know.

But the point is that the whole thing somehow made sense and was pretty awesome. I don't generally like highschool fics that much but this was just better than those normally are. So this is basically must-read, even if you aren't that into L Word in general. So I totally recommend this.

you've got the antidote for me [Harry Potter, Drarry]

you've got the antidote for me by Kandakicksass

When Harry Potter unintentionally severs their soulbond before it can fully form, Draco Malfoy resigns himself to a slow death and decides not to burden Harry with a soulmate he's made it very clear he doesn't want.

He's never been selfless before, but for Harry, he can try.

Crying. That's the thing you will do if you read this thing. And still, you will love every second of it.

The thing I want to talk about is the ending. I had two scenarios that I was rooting for. And I am not gonna tell you how this ends because that would be just rude.

Scenario one is that Draco dies at the end. For some reason I really wanted this fic to end to that. I really, really did. Maybe because once super sad ending would have made so much more sense and would be refreshing. So Draco dying and the ending would have everyone sad. I don't really care if anyone knows or not who Draco's soulmate is in this scenario. It doesn't really matter if no one would find out at the end. Maybe it would be even better that no one knew, there would be no one to blame and they would all just be sad and miserable together. Yea.

That was the first scenario I was rooting for. And I was rooting for it from the beginning until a certain point in the story. Which was when I came up the second scenario.

In this one I wanted Harry to find out that he was the soulmate. Maybe Ron or Hermione telling him about it, maybe him figuring it out by himself. There were moments when he could get the small information and at some point, he would just put it all together. I don't know how the magic works (no one in fic was 100% certain how it works, just the guidelines etc) but then somehow Harry would just accept Draco as his soulmate. Draco would slowly get better and they would probably not talk about and just be stubborn two idiots.

To be honest, I didn't really think that scenario any further than that. Maybe they would just continue to be friends until someone cracks or something. I really don't know.

But the thing is. Those two scenarios were the ones I was rooting for. There is always the third options where they actually know how to talk and be functional. Also, Draco survives in that third scenario. The fourth one is the mixture of them all, Harry finding out and yelling Draco about it and Draco surviving. The fifth is Harry finding out, not liking the outcome, not talking to Draco and Draco dies. But I wasn't rooting for those scenarios or any other scenarios that could have happened.

There is only one other thing I want to mention about this fic. I liked the way Ron talked about his and Harry's relationship. Like since the school, he felt like he was the second option and how Harry would have loved to talk to Draco rather than Ron. Like Draco was always the first option, even when he wasn't really an option. And all that without Harry even noticing how he put Draco first.

I would love to read fics that actually concentrated on that point and made it seem an even better idea. I would really love that. But in the meantime, I am going to love this fic and enjoy it and all those little details. Thanks.
