This one kinda generic Veela!Draco-Mate!Harry fic, I cannot for the life of me find

I am fairly sure it was on AO3 and longer than 35K words.

Don't remember the author, title, or any tags and I don't think the summary was particularly helpful for finding anything I do remember.

Speaking of which, here's what I do remember:

Draco comes into a Veela inheritance over the summer, and once back at Hogwarts quickly discovers that Harry is his mate. Draco tells his parents who his mate is, and as his parent(s) (Lucius and/or Narcissa don't remember, might be both?) are Veela too, they're like 'oh damn, guess we're spies for the light now,' and promptly and genuinely do a heel face turn. The Malfoys request a meeting with Dumbledore and Harry to explain their new allegiance and why. Dumbledore and the Malfoy's have the vibe of 'the magic is the magic and will do what it wants' (not a direct quote). Harry though, does not like the situation, is kind of uncomfortable with it, but is reluctantly on-board none-the-less.

There's a bit of a schedule and living space rearrangement to be decided on, because Draco has a magical need for touch/proximity to Harry cause Veela, therefore, Harry and Draco get a special like two bedroom apartment thing in hogwarts. Might be mixing up my fics here but I could swear there was something about Draco needing to be tied to his bed at night if Harry didn't want NSFW things to happen to him.
Regarding schedules Draco fully expects Harry to be hellishly stubborn about as little of his life changing as possible, and was fully willing to yield to any decisions he made. Draco was instead surprised and delighted to find that Harry was quite willing, insistent even, on making quite reasonable compromises about their schedule, and who was allowed in their space. Harry expects Draco to have his friends and family over at some point, and as long as there was clear communication about who was coming over when, all was chill.

Early on the Malfoy's came to have brunch in Drarry's new Dorm-apartment-thing, that may or may not've involved giving both Harry and Draco books about Veela. Draco, because they weren't certain he'd be one and there's more for him to know; Harry, because he is wholly ignorant about what's going on with the Veela stuff.

In reaction to the Veela stuff; Ron was kinda like 'awe man, you get a Veela?! Damn I'm kinda jealous, but I learned my lesson in 4th year, and the Veela in question is Malfoy, so I'm just gonna move on with my life. Good for you tho.'
Hermione meanwhile, kinda mistakes the situation for something similar to the house elfs (S.P.E.W. type shit type shit). But Dumbledore quickly corrects her about it and also corrects her about house elfs. Because for elves it's not slavery its symbiosis, and for Veelas its some soulmate type shit type shit. Hermione then makes a teary apology to Harry thinking their friendship is over and Harry is just kinda like 'wtf are you talking about, ofc you're still my friend.' I have no further memories about Ron and Hermione's presence in the fic, but I'm reasonably certain that's because they are side characters, and the author didn't actually just forget about them and not include them further.

Later on there's some incident that sends Drarry to the infirmary unconscious. While out, a female slytherin (Millicent Bulstrode?) kidnaps Draco, force-feeds him love, lust, and fertility potions, and off screen non-cons him because she was betrothed to him or something before the Veela thing. She fully expects to get out of this scot free as she's taken fertility potions herself, and the only thing Veela can live for if they no longer have a mate after finding them, is their children.
Meanwhile, Harry wakes in the infirmary like 'where's draco?' and Dumbledore and Pomfrey are like 'got kidnapped, looking as fast as we can'. Harry gets the house elves in on the search for Draco. Then Harry remembers that earlier it was revealed that Dobby was never actually abused OR set free (maybe was during brunch with the Malfoys), and as a Malfoy elf he'd be able to find Draco faster and easier than other elves. Dobby finds Draco, rescues him, ties up the girl, and tells them what happened. The Authorities go get the girl and confirm that she is NOT pregnant due to Veela magic bullshit, and definitely would have suffered severe consequences regardless of any pregnancy.
However as a consequence of the non-con Draco went through, his inner Veela is FREAKING OUT to the point of being suicidal. The only way to prevent that, is for Harry to do NSFW things to Draco (not even full-on snu-snu, just stuff). And at this point in the fic, Harry has genuinely come to care for Draco, and although he isn't quite ready for that kind of intimacy, he is willing to suck it up and leap forward a little to calm the Veela down and assure it that Harry still wants Draco.

There something about a Veela authority (Council?) that came to check up on Drarry when they first got together, and that handled the Non-Con-er. When the person from this authority was interviewing Harry and Draco about the crime Harry explicitly asked for the harshest sentence possible for her.

Early on there was a plot point about delaying Voldemort's discovery of the Malfoy's allegiance changing by convincing him that Harry could be turned into a Death Eater. Which involved staging a public argument with Dumbledore, which Harry took to have a genuine argument with dumbles over something.

This was almost certainly a different fic, but there is a small chance of there being something about Harry using his parcelmouth ability to replace Snape & Lucius' dark mark with like a brotherhood bond to each other?

It was set after 4th year, and it wasn't post hogwarts cause Voldemort was around (if in the background). I think it was post year 5? cause something something 'you can have your family and godfather in here because i'd want mine to be, but they're dead and sirius was wrongfully wanted for mass murder' or something like that. But I don't know if it was a 6th year fic or an alternate 7th year fic.

Trying to find magical core fanfic

Hey I was hoping for some help finding a fanfic I read a while ago. I don’t remember a lot but I do remember is Draco leaves the manor during the war and joins Harry. They are staying at a house and Draco is very sick and him and Harry have to lay together for Harry to share his magic. They also give the holcrux to Draco for him to absorb the dark magic but it makes him sick each time. One time Ron tries to absorb the magic and goes crazy. I also remember Draco getting mad because Harry gave him some magic while kissing him and apparently he was worried Harry would give him too much. Sorry I know it’s not much to go on but I do remember loving it!

What are your unpopular headcanons?

As the title says: what are your unpopular headcanons?

Most of mine center around Draco, since canon focuses so much less on him. In my head, Draco is left untouched physically and socially by canon events. He didn’t get the Dark Mark, Sectumsempra left no scars, and he doesn’t undergo trial or imprisonment for his canon actions. (I know the movies show him with the Dark Mark but I prefer book canon, which leaves it ambiguous.) Instead, he needs to do some serious introspection to understand why he was wrong.

Also, Lucius and Narcissa are not pleasant people, but they genuinely love Draco, even if they taught him the wrong lessons. And they, too, escape serious repercussions, retaining both wealth and social standing.

For Harry, he becomes an Auror, and he’s really good at it and happy with his career, because he likes a bumpy road (which is also why he eventually likes Draco).

So, what are your headcanons that don’t fit the generally accepted fanon?

Fics where Harry leaves the UK post war and comes back with Draco?

Hello,

I would love to read a story where Harry leaves the UK after the war and disappears from public life and from his friends, only to reappear years later with Draco.

I have read Dramione fics like this and would love a Drarry’s version of the big reveal! Bonus points if they have kids or Teddy with them.

Thank you!

Drarry fics with an in-character Draco Malfoy?

I love Draco with my whole heart but his appeal (at least to me) is that he's canonically morally gray (leaning black💀) and his trauma should supplement that part of his character, not negate it.

Of course I love a redeemed Draco but I would really appreciate some fanfics that don't gloss over his hard-to-swallow traits and show that he had to work through them realistically. Thanks all :)

HELPP finding drarry fic

Okay so the summary of the fic is going to be dooky bc I read it three years ago and so much was going on but the thing that I really remember is that it was

post war, draco was like the lord of the manor or someone of very high postitioning within his family

and this is where it gets really interesting- basically draco like 'adopts' or takes on a bunch of family members, even people who aren't directly malfoys and have no other family who will look after them- (pretty sure it's like some pureblood thing or some wacky ancient magic stuff, but it's awesome)

and there's a bit where they mention how how if any of the others get injured, their injuries end up inflicting on draco instead

IT WAS SO COOL and I loved seeing this like makeshift family- I remember the kids beinf super cute omfg and there's harry (i really don't know why he was there) but like the others kinda inform him of whats going on- It is drarry tho, I just don't recall much of harry's part

I'm really craving a found family fic and I've scoured my ao3 history, so I am worried it's deleted, but I just wanted to know if anyone's heard of smth similar or may have read the fic

Shadow of Time absolutely wrecked me (and I need more time travel fics pls)

I just finished Shadow of Time and I am fully in pieces. If you want a time-travel fix-it that actually deals with the emotional fallout, you have to read this.

Basically, a 35-year-old Harry and Draco get thrown back to 1995. But instead of just jumping straight into fix-it mode, they actually grieve the adult lives they were forced to leave behind. They only have each other to lean on, and the fic is just incredibly well written. It somehow perfectly balances being genuinely funny and full of fluff with heavy angst and raw hurt/comfort.

The time-travel consequences are real, the tension is wild, and the adults (especially Sirius and Remus) feel super messy and human. No spoilers, but the whole thing is just so grounded. Go read it!

Link: Shadow of Time

Also, drop your recs, please!🫶🏻

I desperately need more fics with this exact vibe!! I’ve already read The Eye of Horus series and Aevumiter, but I need more to fill the void. What should I read next?

Looking for Harry/Draco secret child fics

I was recommended this fic Papa Needs Daddy's Help by A_Million_Regrets, and it was one of the most beautiful things I've read this year. Seriously, the longing, the yearning... my God. I cried so much during the last few chapters because I could feel Harry's and Draco's pain and how desperately they wanted to be together.

Please, I'd love more Harry/Draco recs where one of them has their child and the other doesn't know, only finding out years later.

NO cheating!

Case fics

Hiiii

I'm looking for any fics where either one or both of them are working a case (preferably the same one or two that overlap), and it's prominent to the story. I don't really care what their careers are (auror, unspeakable, cursebreaker, potioneer, etc), so anything there is fine.

I'd prefer the fics to be either explicit or mature, with bottom Draco only and no explicit noncon.

Thanks!

Drarry Fanfic Positivity Post

I've been in a bit of a negative spiral for the last few days, so I thought everyone might enjoy a more positive post to sit in.

Share your favourite Drarry fics and speak a little bit about why you enjoy the author's writing and the plot! Did it make you feel good during a bad day? Does the world feel like a safe haven?

I'll get us started! My absolute favourite Drarry fanfic is House Proud by Astolat. Astolat is one of the authors who got me interested in HP fanfic and made me want to be an author myself. Their worldbuilding is beautiful and feels as easy as breathing. I always go to this fic when I'm having a hard day and just sink into it. It feels like a hug.
