AU Hogwarts Era Story Recs Requested

[isoldam.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for AU Hogwarts era stories. For example: perhaps Lucius died when Draco was a child and he isn't as bratty, or Draco transfers in from another school when he is older so there is no rivalry. Anything where the circumstances are different during Draco's school years. I'll be grateful for any recs, but the following things are a big plus.

1. Draco and the Slytherins are treated sympathetically.

2. Slytherins are portrayed as having real friendships and are loyal to each other.

3. Draco is smart or funny or clever or secretly kind - not just a bully.

I'm looking for bottom!Draco, of course, but pre-slash or gen is welcome as well.

I'm going to be without internet over the Christmas holidays, so I'm trying to stock up on good stories. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

This one fits #3-Oblivio Nex by Awe http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2095539/1/Oblivio_Nex has secretly good/not evil!draco whose true character is revealed after he attempts suicide and loses his memories. Really cute and slightly AU with shy/insecure!draco and UST.

Hope you like it! *^_^*
