• I'm Falling in Love (With Your Favorite Song) by lq_traintracks (Harry/Teddy | NC-17 | 8,3K)
Summary:Harry stands there trying not to look at his own godson, this man dancing just inches away who's still smiling like maybe Harry isn't an utter failure. And even though he's the worst dancer in history and he swore he'd never do it again after fourth year, Harry finds himself thinking thoughts like, 'If only the music were a little slower, maybe I could manage,' before it occurs to him that he's rationalising dancing with his godson and that then it would be a slow song; he'd be dancing with Teddy to a slow song in the kitchen while the potatoes sat there raw and the garlic waited, unchopped, and that… that …would never ever do. Not ever.

• Tea and No Sympathy by anon at hd_erised >.[Harry/Draco, NC-17, 70k words]
Summary: It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?.
• Love Comes Tumbling by anon at hd_erised >.[Harry/Draco, NC-17, 22.5k words]
Summary: 'Harry's thoughts were of how much he would have done differently with Malfoy over the years, and of Dumbledore's final words to the other boy . . . "It is my mercy, and not yours, that matters now." Maybe, Harry wondered, he could find some mercy, too, and give Malfoy the second chance that Dumbledore had believed him worthy of.'.
