Valentine Veela Fest 2013 : Masterlist of DRARRY fics

do-me-veela || official masterpost || ∑= 15 fics + 3 arts The Mods : cyn_ful & @knowmefirst

1. Claimed by dragontara [E, 8k]

Harry is investigating a crime when he crashes right in the middle of the Veela mating party. Five Veelas are very interested in Harry and already have him cornered, when one surprisingly familiar person jumps in for a rescue. But if you thought it was difficult to get five Veela suitors off your back when they were only showing interest and trying to impress, try to deal with a fiercely protective and possessive Veela, who is determined to claim you and taking no for an answer.

2. Glory Be by Lomonaaeren [E, 32k]

Draco—Draco Malfoy, skilled assassin, powerful and wealthy Veela, former Death Eater—has always known what to do, where to go, who to kill. And then Harry Potter came along: Harry Potter, Unspeakable, former Auror, the most powerful wizard Draco has ever seen. And Draco catches a glimpse of glory he may be unable to live without.

3. Hard at Each Other by enchanted_jae [E, 3k]   *not on AO3

Harry has been informed that he and Malfoy are mates. Neither one of them is going to take it lying down.

4. A Healthy Obsession by @fantasyfiend09 [E, 7k]   *not on AO3

Prompt: During their eighth year Harry feels that Draco is up to something again. Ducking when he sees Harry, having his meals taken to his room, and even the leaving the pitch when he comes out. Harry can’t believe Draco decides to be up to something again. However, during their confrontation he’s surprised to know that Draco isn’t up to something. He’s avoiding Harry because Harry is his mate and he doesn’t want to mate with someone who hates him. […]

5. The Ugly Duckling by @icmezzo [E, 16k]   *not on AO3

Draco is all atwitter when he wakes up on his birthday with a few unexpected feathers. Suspecting foul play, he enlists Harry to help him get rid of his unfortunate birden—er, burden.

6. Veritas by winterdaffodils [G, 3k]

Exiled and left to die, Draco Malfoy ends up the last place he could have expected and yet exactly where he needed to be.

7. Wings & Heart by freakingcrups [E, 4k]   *not on AO3

Draco organises a costume ball just so he can show off the wings he’s hidden from the world. Much to his amusement though, everyone believes they are part of his costume. Until the truth comes out when he sees something that doesn’t impress him one bit…

Things I learned from studying ancient history:

3500 years ago, the Minoans had hot and cold taps and flushing toilets

the name Alexandra is at least 3200 years old

when Cimbri warriors crossed the Alps in 101 BC, they stripped naked, sat on their shields and slid down the snowy mountainside to frighten the Romans

Xerxes whipped the sea three hundred times and threw shackles into the water to punish it for destroying his bridge

Caligula named his horse consul

the Ancient Greeks once tried to domesticate snails

teenage king Mursili I walked his army from the mountains of central Anatolia, across the Syrian desert and all the way to Mesopotamia, attacked Babylon, stole the doors, and left

Polybius spends an entire book of his Histories criticising Timaeus, another historian (sample chapters include Timaeus wrong about Libya, The errors of Timaeus and Timaeus blinded by personal malignity)

there was an actual man in Ancient Greece named Misogynes

people who say ancient history is boring are wrong

 dracoofficial’s official drarry fic roundup

hello, i have finally put together a fic-rec of my favorite drarry fics. each of this fics, more than once while reading, i have had physical reactions including but not limited to: sharp inhaling, covering my face with my hands, making anguished wails into my pillow.

please enjoy.

Grounds for Divorce by tepre

Malfoy finds a coin. Harry finds a letter.

A story about histories, a story about families. A story about a lemon tree somewhere in Upper Egypt.

grounds for divorce is literally… everything. i liveblogged this fic for a full week when i started reading it. OP took my life, gave me CPR, raised me and tucked me in at night. OP is out for blood. please if you read any fic on this list, please make it grounds for divorce.

Down a Hill at High Speed by tepre

Draco is reckless with a fern and Harry is his babysitter.

not to rec tepre twice in a row but this fic is shorter and very fun. i’m not into eighth-year fics mostly because i want to see harry and draco as old men but this was [chefs kiss] very fun and good. 

White as Snow by bixgirl1

After a quick escape from danger, Harry and Draco find themselves trapped in a blizzard, a small cabin their only refuge from the storm. It’s the perfect place to recover and regroup — and to have a long-overdue conversation or two.

trapped in a blizzard in an abandoned cabin oh no… whatever shall they do… i’ll tell you: they fuck and the foreplay is literally so long you feel like you’re also getting fucked. listen i didn’t say this list would be wholesome. anyway this fic is MWAH.

Here’s The Pencil, Make It Work by ignatiustrout

Harry thinks “Why is Malfoy working in a coffee shop in muggle London?” is a much simpler question than, “Are you going to accept that auror offer and, if you don’t, what will you do?”

here’s the thing. sometimes a fic written in 2013 is so fucking good you’re like why does this ship even need to be expanded upon? then you remember that ignatiustrout walked so the rest of us could run.

All the Earnest Young Men  by Anonymous

Auror Harry! Expert-in-Magical-Art-Theory Draco! There’s running, dancing, falling through ice, what’s this paper giraffe doing here? A great time was had by all.

GOD the fact that this is anonymous is literally killing me. OP please expose yourself, i am dying and would love to lay at your feet with my fucking death rattle. draco in this fic is SO GOOD, like i don’t think i’ve ever seen his personality written like this before.

there you have it. my top fics. i read a lot of fics but only so many make my whole body seize up enough to bookmark them so i can revisit them and absolutely wail into the night.

On a chilly day in October, Draco kisses Harry goodbye before he goes on yet another dangerous, undercover mission with the Aurors.

And then Harry doesn’t come back.

Only Draco believes that Harry isn’t dead, and pours himself into finding his husband despite his friends’ pleas to move on and grieve properly. What he finds at the end of that work, though, is not at all what he wanted.
