Hot Rec:

• Changing Tides by Currently Anonymous (Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy; NC-17, ~110,000 words)
Summary:Draco has spent half of his life spouting the things his father has taught him without much thought about how he feels about what he says. When he unexpectedly comes face to face with the Dark Lord, he grapples with the harsh realities of the world and struggles with his changing views on life. Instead of doing what’s expected of him fifth year, he joins Dumbledore’s Army and learns how to defend himself, how to make his own choices, and how he can be something greater than his father’s example as he grows into his own man rather than his father’s shadow. The choices he makes change both his and Harry’s fates, intertwining their paths until they converge.

• The Light that is Blinding Me by Currently Anonymous (Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy; NC-17, ~23,000 words)
Summary:After Flourish and Blotts stop stocking the books of Harry’s favourite author, he is directed to a queer bookshop and discovers it’s owned by none other than Draco Malfoy, who has more in common with Harry than either of them realise.

• Shibboleths by Currently Anonymous (Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy; NC-17, ~110,000 words)
Summary: Muggle Immersion co-Professor Harry Potter spends his days hanging with his son, reading to his "dog," teaching magical kids about the internet with his cousin Dudley, and irritating Snape’s portrait. He’s understandably annoyed when his cosy life is interrupted by the Headmistress hiring on Draco Malfoy to be Hogwarts’ new Ancient Magical Cultures and Spellcasting professor. But then the explosion happens, and it turns out they'll all need Malfoy's knowledge if they want the magical world to survive.

• Blood and Fire by Currently Anonymous (Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy; NC-17, ~45,000 words)
Summary:Harry has spent the last twelve years in Romania, not returning to England as often as he knows he should. It's complicated.

• Heartlines by Currently Anonymous (Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy; NC-17, ~72,000 words)
Summary:Harry never expected he’d end up chipping away at his virginity while wandless and bonded to Malfoy in Northern Europe.
He never expected that would turn out to be the least surprising thing to happen while out on their training expedition in the middle of nowhere, either.
