Title: Per Solum Lacuna: By Words Alone
Author:
Azhure
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Angst, Drama, Romance, Smut
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Warnings: Language
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: A set of enchanted journals bring solace to two very unlikely lost souls. Whoever said the art of penmanship was lost? This is a wizarding twist on the old fashioned art of correspondence (or the modern art of Internet chatting). What will happen when the mystery writers finally discover the identity of their counterpart? Join this star crossed pair as they obliviously chat to each other; along the way learning about life and love. Find out what will happen when their own voyages of self discovery lead them to the most unlikely of places. This is eventual HP/DM, but other pairings for the protagonists along their journey. Chapter 1: Just what has lead Draco Malfoy to be skulking around the unfashionable side of Paris’ Wizarding Quarter?
Why I like this fic: It's been a while since I read this fic, but I recently found it again. It's beautifully written, and absolutely addictive. I've read it twice so far, and plan on reading it again once I get a chance to (which will likely be once midterms are over...)

Sacrifices Arc (Saving Connor Series) by Lightning Wave


Title:  Sacrifices Arc (Saving Connor Series)
Author: Lightning Wave
Rating: M
Genre: Drama/Angst/Horror/Adventure/Tragedy
Pairing: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy
Warnings: Het, Extreme Violence, Gore, Physical and Mental Abuse, Rape, Character Death, AU, OCs
Spoilers: HBP
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: Saving Connor begins an AU of Harry Potter's school years, the Sacrifices Arc, where Harry's twin Connor (bearing a heart-shaped scar) is acknowledged as the Boy-Who-Lived. Harry and Connor have a loving relationship, and Harry plays the role of personal bodyguard/silent support for his brother to the hilt.
Why I like this fic: This fic is beautifully written. It's incredibly long- it took me a week to read this 3 million word monster (for comparison, it took me less than 4 hours to read DH). The OCs are well integrated- they're well rounded, and avoid Mary Sue-ism. It's probably the most angst-filled story I've read- part of the reason it took me so long is that I had to stop reading at points to keep from getting overwhelmed- hell, the bloody thing made me cry.

Warnings: violence, angst, character death
Spoilers: Spoilers for all seven books. Rurounihime wrote: "This fic is now AU because of Deathly Hallows. And at the risk of much silliness, I now discover that there are apparently DH spoilers in this story from the beginning. O.o"

Summary: In the midst of a disintegrating war, Harry awaits the arrival of the Order’s last hope.
Why I like this fic: This is really well written, the characters acts and thoughts are described realistically and the emotions seems real. The only thing that I don't like is that the update takes a long time, but it doesn't matter, because every chapter is a piece of art! And don't forget all the beautiful pictures that a lot of readers have done.

Double Edged Sword by Romaine

Title: Double Edged Sword
Author: Romaine
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Action/Adventure, Angst, Children/Parenthood, Drama, Romance, Smut, Supernatural, Suspense
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Warnings: Angst, Death (Major Character), Death (Minor Character), Extreme Physical Abuse, Het, Language, Original Character(s), Smut, Violence,
Spoilers: HBP
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary:
Step into the Magical life story—love story of Harry and Draco. This epic-journey is filled with adventure, angst, drama, tragedy, humour, and most of all—love. The story begins where book 6 leaves us readers, stranded at the monument of Albus Dumbledore. At that moment, Harry thinks his life is planned out; if it’s short he dies, if it’s long he gets the girl. However, visitors come to see him the night he ‘Comes of Age’ and he has a decision to make. His choice changes the course of his life and those around him forever. The story adheres to canon as much as possible. The beginning has a lot of het H/G. It will change, for this is Harry and Draco’s story.
Why I like this fic: First of all, this is a long fic- 100 chapters plus an epilogue. It's well written, with a well-rounded plot, and follows Harry and Draco from almost immediately after HBP through to the end of their lives and beyond. A good read if you're looking for a novel lenght fic and don't mind a bit of het mixed in with your slash.

Twenty Years Later by Reba Williams

Title:  Twenty Years Later
Author:  Reba Williams
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Drama/Angst, Humour, Romance
Pairing:  Harry/Draco, Harry/OMC, Draco/OMC
Warnings: Violence, Gore, Character Death, Drug Use/Abuse, Group Sex, Graphic Sex, Non-Con, Prostitution
Spoilers: OOtP
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: Written Pre-HBP. It’s been almost twenty years since Harry Potter graduated Hogwarts as the ‘Hero of the Wizarding World‘. It was near the end of his seventh year when he finally defeated Voldemort. The details of that battle can be found in any number of history books or in one of the hundreds of biographies about Harry’s Life, well at least the first twenty-five years of his life, nobody knows what happened to Harry the morning after his twenty-fifth birthday. But we are about to.
Why I like this fic: This fic is hot as hell. The smut (and boy, is there a lot of it) ranges to touching and sweet to just plain animalistic. There's also a raw aspect to the whole thing, which strengthens both the characters and the plot, adding a "Real" feeling to it. It's actually hard to put into words why I like this fic- it appeals to me on an instinctual level.
