looking for Recs

Hello,

Can anyone recommend any long, very well written fan fics?
Something with a good plot that makes me want to keep reading the entire story.

Anything with Mpreg!Draco, creature!Harry, Time Travel or 6th year AU are a Bonus =)

A few recs

[identity profile] heroinmyshadow.livejournal.com 2015-05-01 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Okay I have a few. All of these stories are completed. So no need to worry if they've been abandoned.

Chaos Theory (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10298713/1/Chaos-Theory) by: Tessa Crowley
Chaos: when the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future. One gene varies, one neuron fires, one butterfly flaps its wings, and Draco Malfoy's life is completely different. Draco has always found a certain comfort in chaos. Perhaps he shouldn't. Featuring Genius!Draco.

The Songbirds of Avebury Manor (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10262508/1/The-Songbirds-of-Avebury-Manor)by: Tessa Crowley
Omegaverse, Victorian non-magical AU. Harry Potter presents as alpha at fifteen, and it is supposed to change his life for the better. Instead, it leads him to a beautiful noble omega he cannot have, a political plot he cannot escape, and a threat on his life.

Chasing Draco (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9185621/1/Chasing-Draco)by: howdracogothisgrooveback
Draco Malfoy is every suitor's nightmare. His brazen temper and absolute disregard for the personal safety of others has his father in despair. Enter Harry Potter. Based on Taming of the Shrew: An epic tale of Harry and Draco's crazy courtship complete with meddling fathers in law, reluctant fiances, annoying best friends and furniture missiles. Let the madness begin.

Dragon Blood (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2872051/1/Dragon-Blood) by: Loisceles
The wizarding world has a secret that Draco Malfoy carries without him knowing it. There are some things that for some wizards held more importance than even the eventual defeat of Voldemort. Slash HPDM Post HBP would have spoilers. NOT follows DH canon.

Ministry Interference (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8559184/1/Ministry-Interference) by: Lori94
*Okay, I lied. So this one is not complete. But it is LONG. And so far, still updating.

The war is over. Voldemort is dead and the ministry passes a marriage law. Many people are unhappy about it but mostly the pure-bloods. Harry, Draco and the gang are in Hogwarts for their last year of schooling.

The Kingdoms (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3963575/1/The-Kingdoms) by: rshortyr
Set as more of a princeprincess story. Draco Malfoy is a male wizarding Princess that can conceive and Harry Potter is a prince with the best pure blood match, this is their tale. Yaoi, Slash, Mpreg, complete

There is this one fanfiction that was really good, but I can't seem to find it in my favorites. Either way, it's about Draco being cursed by Voldemort to sleep during the day and wake only at night. It's something like a sleeping-beauty curse where only true-loves-kiss may break it. However, because he's only awake when it's night and locked up in Gryffindor Tower makes it very difficult to find this so called true love. On top of which, his dreams are filled with nightmares that start bleeding into his waking hours so he doesn't know when he is sleeping and when he is awake.
It's a bloody brilliant story, I just wish I could find it for you. I'll post again if I do.

Enjoy.

That last fanfiction you're talking about is "Not A Fairytale" by Jinko but unfortunately they have removed that and their other harry potter fanfictions from their account and have asked for other people to not share their stories around. :(

Awe man. I hate it when that happens. It was such a beautiful story! I wish author's wouldn't take down their work. It's truly a shame. Thank you for telling me.

You can try searching for it on http://fictionhunt.com/ (http://fictionhunt.com/). I have discovered quite a few stories that has been taken down on the site.

The only problem is that you can't search by author name. So the more you know about the fic, the better. :)

Thanks, but Satin_Scarves just posted that it has been deleted. I wish I had saved it on my computer. But thanks again. I'll keep that in mind if I need to search for other stories. :D

You're welcome. I really like Ministry Interference. That one and Chaos Theory, have so far been my favs from the list.

These are some of my personal favorites:

It Started in the Shower series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/100820/) by chickenlivesinpumpkun

The Art of Our Necessities (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1550957/) by dcfg21

Where They Shall Not Pine (mahoganyhandle.livejournal.com/18369.html?nc=4/) by Laurence Ashton

Better Than Your Dreams (http://archiveofourown.org/works/941906/) by elyssblair

Someone to Save (http://archiveofourown.org/works/536752/) by olimakiella

Give My Heart (http://gypsyflame.livejournal.com/8778.html/) by gypsyflame

I also like everything Tessa Crowley has written so far, I recommend all of her stories as well

[identity profile] chaste-kiss.livejournal.com 2015-05-04 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
There's also The Seventh Turn (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8070162/) if you want to read more time travel fic.

And there's this time travel fic that I'd love to read again, but I can't remember the title. The first scene is Harry and Draco are in a secret relationship and they're at Leaky Cauldron when the Death Eaters attack and kill Harry. Draco has been seeing Harry behind Lucius's back, but Lucius knows Draco's clandestine meeting with Harry at Leaky and uses that information to kill Harry. Draco is so devastated that he uses time turner to avoid that from happening. But no matter how much effort that he put into that, Harry still keeps dying (in different scenes, but Draco's there to witness Harry's deaths nonetheless.) Draco then find himself to be the integral part of the Harry's deaths and the only thing that Draco can do to avoid them is to remove said integral. So, Draco uses time turner once again and he approaches his eleven years old self in Diagon Alley and influences him (I don't remember whether he uses Imperio or not) to not become Harry's friend. And that's why Draco's being obnoxious to Harry at Madam Malkien's. I remember that I had a pang in my heart because of that last scene and I'd like to experience it again. But I can't remember the title *cries* Does it ring any bells?

That fiction had a sad ending :(?

I have some suggestions, too!

[identity profile] g-cavendish.livejournal.com 2015-05-03 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
All bottom!Draco and complete:

Keep this wolf (archiveofourown.org/works/1507037) by Lomonaaeren. With werewolf!Harry. Words: 83,112.
"Draco knows full well that he’s being set up. There is no other reason to pull an Unspeakable out of the Department of Mysteries and assign him to negotiate with a werewolf pack. But when he learns the werewolf leader is Harry Potter, Draco wonders if the setup isn’t a different kind than he anticipated."

Draco Malfoy and the Secret Inheritance (http://archiveofourown.org/works/928397) by Nattish. Best Mpreg I've ever read. Words: 46,813
"Draco is pregnant. Pregnant! At age 16, no less, and (if you hadn’t noticed) he’s a bloke. How on Earth did this happen? If that’s not upsetting enough, he has no idea who fathered the damn thing. Lust, lies, and scandal abound! EWE, NC-17"

Invisible To See (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4724) by FayJay. Old but Gold, seriously, give it a try, you won't regret it! Words: 94,963.
"Invisible to See is a novel set in JK Rowling's Harry Potter universe, exploring one possible future for some of the key characters. It was begun in November of 2002 and completed in December of 2003; as such the story was conceived without benefit of The Order of the Phoenix, and cleaves only to prior canon.

It is a swashbuckling tale of love, friendship, romance, redemption and vengeance, and of the messy business of coming to terms with the differences between who you are and who other people want you to be. Or, in other word, growing up. It is very, very, very loosely inspired by Pride and Prejudice, among other things.

This story is a very long way from being a PWP, but it does involve some explicit and enthusiastic shagging; however, the characters are all over the UK age of consent."

Six Ways In Which Harry Potter Was Like Bambi's Dad (archiveofourown.org/works/716712) by brummel. The premise to this one may sound weird, but it's an absolute delight. Mpreg!Draco. Words: 6,884.
"See title; it's a bit more literal than it seems. PLEASE read the tags! This is set in a post-DH AU wherein the death of Voldemort has not led to the stability and peace that everyone expected; Harry and an underground New Order are fighting to free the Wizarding World. Or something."

Apathetic Twinges and Protective Needs (http://archiveofourown.org/series/73591) by frostywonder. With Mpreg. Words: 8,944.
"Draco doesn't realize how numb he is until Potter brings back his emotions."

The Malfoy Family Silver (http://archiveofourown.org/works/905373) by blackhemlock. Werewolf!Harry. Words: 19,181.
"In his dreams Draco sees horrors and when he wakes, he remembers that each and every one of them is real. And when he wakes, he straps on his dragon-hide armour and goes out to stop what he can."


RE: I have some suggestions, too! (Part 2)

[identity profile] g-cavendish.livejournal.com 2015-05-03 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
The Arc of the Pendulum (http://archiveofourown.org/works/716731) by brummell. Everything she has done is great, seriously. Some-kind-of-reverse-werewolf!Harry. Words: 30,189.
"After his father casts a mysterious curse on Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy is forced to try to make things right."

measures of our days and nights (http://archiveofourown.org/works/485487) by flimsy. None of the bonuses you mentioned, but a great read still. Words: 40,058.
"Draco returns to London to help the Ministry decipher a spell, but things aren’t quite as simple as they seem."

Liar (http://www.ocht.hdhols.com/for_cerberusia.html) by jad. Again, no bonus, but worth a try. Words: +/- 50,000.
"Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy have always preferred the worst of each other; it was too bad they both had to have better halves."

Underwater Light (http://www.geocities.ws/dragonhidequills/UnderwaterLight1.html) by Maya. Another "must read" (IMHO). Words: +/-200,000.
"Underwater Light is a novel-length Harry/Draco slash story by Maya that was posted online in installments between May 2002 and July 2005. Written from Harry's point of view, the story takes place during his seventh year at Hogwarts and imagines how he and Draco Malfoy might become friends. Their evolving relationship is set against the backdrop of the looming war with Voldemort. Because part of the story was written during the Three-Year Summer before Order of the Phoenix was published, it presents a now thoroughly jossed sequence of events leading to the final showdown between Harry and Voldemort.

The story combines elements of the romance, mystery, and action genres."


That's it, I guess! ^^

Hi, I can't seem to access Liar by jad and it's not in their AO3 account, do you happen to have a copy?

I am appalled that nobody recced you Mira's Shadow of his Wings. Appalled, I tell you.

It is WIP though.

Also, I don't make notice of length when I bookmark, but I only read bottom!Draco, so please feel free to look around my Diigo:
https://www.diigo.com/user/takaraikarin/pairing%3AHarry_Draco

Those that don't have the 'bottom!Draco' tags on them means there are no penetrative sex. Switching fics has a 'warning:switching' tags on them, though there aren't a lot of them. There's a star rating where 5 stars (r:★★★★★) means they're must-read. But lots of gems in the 5-and-a-half stars section and 4 stars section too.
