Rivals to Lovers :
Two characters who were originally enemies or rivals fall in love.
^ That just screams of Harry/Draco! So here's a rec of my favorite fics of this amazing pairing!
1. Here's the Pencil, Make it Work - 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?"
2. Protect Me - Harry Potter has spent the last seven years doing everything the Wizarding World’s saviour and Golden Boy shouldn’t – breaking it off with his childhood sweetheart, quitting Auror training, and living in isolation in Muggle London. Having just gotten out of an emotionally and financially abusive relationship, Harry hasn’t been out of his house in weeks. Meanwhile, after disappearing from the Wizarding World and moving to America for seven years, Draco Malfoy has become a famous Hollywood actor and is back in England to film his latest movie. When Draco begins to receive serious threats, he asks for a Wizard bodyguard to be assigned to him, and who should be more fit for the job than the fallen-from-grace Man Who Lived Twice himself? But can Harry and Draco set aside their differences and work together, or is this just a disaster in the making?
3. Something I don't want to stop - It's Harry and Draco's eighth year, the Houses have been all but demolished in favor of unity, and they're being forced to room together. How ever will they cope?
4. The Wolf Pack - Nobody said achieving your animagus form was easy. Draco could handle being a wolf pup for a while, right? How bad could it be?
5. The Princess Diaries - Harry has work that he loves, a daughter he adores and a civil relationship with his daughter's father. His life's set. But when Draco announces he's getting married and his little girl starts asking questions about why her dads aren't together, Harry has to figure out whether what he has is enough.
6. It was we who were the cliche (but we carried on anyway) - When the reconciled Black sisters go on holiday together, Andromeda entrusts Draco, rather than Harry, with five year old Teddy Lupin for three weeks. Harry is convinced she made the wrong choice, and he decides the way to fix this is simply to keep turning up at the manor and refusing to leave Draco alone.
7. Fractured Light - Twenty year-old Harry finds himself in a good job with a new-found smoking habit, a Labrador that likes breakfast and a work friend with an unsavoury fascination with women. Harry's friends worry about his emotional stability and on times - sexuality. Enter Draco Malfoy in Muggle clothes with his camera and Harry's life is thrown into disarray. What HAS his old nemesis been up to?
8. Preoccupied with loving - All captured death eaters are sold as slaves. Harry sees Draco's master mistreating him and he forces him to turn Draco's ownership over to him. Harry takes a bruised and battered Draco home to care for - he has to work to earn Draco's trust and restore him physically as well as mentally.
9. Draco Falling - An eighth-year romance, where Draco falls. He falls from roof tops. He falls from grace. He falls for Gryffindors.
10. Chasing Draco - 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.
