Summary: There is nothing that Harry, Draco and their respective owls enjoy doing together more than flying.
• You are my sun, my moon, and all of my stars by Anonymous (Harry/Draco | PG-13)
Summary: Sometimes the questions are complicated, but the answers are simple.

Hot Rec:
• Something Always (Brings Me Back To You) by Anonymous (Harry/Draco | NC-17 | Complete)
Summary: The Centre for Magical Theory and Complex Spell Classifications keeps fucking with Harry’s dig sites, and he’s pretty sure Malfoy has ulterior motives.
• Another Mask Behind You by Anonymous (Harry/Draco | NC-17 | Complete)
Summary: Draco is a high-end prostitute who hides his identity. Harry unknowingly hires him. And then there is porn, questions about identity, domestic bliss, more porn, and truth as seen through a web of lies. (And then more porn. Seriously, if you don’t want sex scene after sex scene you probably shouldn’t read this. And please read the warnings.)

Mod's Choice Rec:
• The Only True Lords by lomonaaeren (Draco/Harry | M | Complete)
Summary: "The Lords of Elfland are true lords, the only true lords, the kind that do not exist on this earth: their lordship is the outward sign or symbol of real inward greatness.” Ursula K. Le Guin. Harry ends up accidentally bonding himself as Lord to several Slytherins after the Battle of Hogwarts, including Snape and Draco Malfoy. It’s a long journey from putting his foot in it all the time to at least trying to be a good one.
