Top 10 longest fics posted on AO3 this month
1. For the Price of a Soul by @silvercookiedust [M, 455k]
►After selling his soul to a demon for incredible power at the tips of his fingers, Harry flees Privet Drive to spend his next few years on the streets of London, hidden magically as well as physically. When he finally enrols at Hogwarts, only a handful of people know who he truly is, but obscurity doesn’t keep him from trouble and power doesn’t make for experience.
2. Away Childish Things by @letteredlettered [T, 153k]
►Harry gets de-aged. Malfoy has to help him.
3. Sacrifices of Children by @carpebellum [T, 120k]
►In the aftermath of tragedy, Draco finds his loyalty to the Dark Lord wavering. When Harry Potter confronts him for diverting attention away from Dumbledore’s Army, the two become unlikely allies. With society on the brink of war, battle lines are being draw, even within the walls of Hogwarts and Draco is realizing that no one can be trusted.
4. What Father Doesn’t Know… by playout & PrinnPrick [E, 111k]
►Draco Malfoy is practically a shut-in who makes his money writing popular, though ridiculous, novels. Harry Potter is a serious Auror whose sense of justice hasn’t changed much since his time at Hogwarts. Seven years later, they meet again in the most unexpected of places: a pure-blood wedding. After some conversation (and surprising confessions), Harry is determined to fix what he can of Draco’s life.
5. Sins of the Father by CorvetteClaire [M, 78k]
►[…] Harry is intent on saving Draco from his father’s machinations, but when Draco leaves Hogwarts, Harry can’t protect him. And Voldemort has ways of forcing people to do his bidding.
6. 31 Days In The Life Of Harry Potter by @drgngrl87 [E, 63k]
►Somehow something strange always happens in the life of one Harry Potter.
7. The World Starts Here by @bafflinghaze [T, 63k]
►Three years in Azkaban is more than enough time for Draco to be certain that he doesn’t want to be like his parents. And the moment he gets out, Draco will make his own mark on the world and he’d do it single-handedly if necessary. What he didn’t account for were the friends and allies he would gather along the way, and the world they would change, together.
8. the sun’s blood on my hands (i’ll tell the moon) by @trlvia [M, 55k]
►[…] Lovers don’t bite each other’s neck to blood. Lovers don’t scratch wounds down each other’s spines. Lovers don’t whisper cruel words in each other’s ears, sinking teeth into lips in a mess of pain and pleasure. Draco knows this. And yet it’s getting harder to remember why, because when Harry looks at him like this, the moonlight spilling over his face and lightening his eyes to a pale jade of desire, those three words have never seemed closer.
9. When Trust and Truth Collide by @sociophonetic [E, 47k]
►Harry meets Draco for the first time in the employee break room on a boring Wednesday morning and they immediately hit it off. Chance encounters turn into dates, and dates turn into feelings. Oh, yeah. Draco’s also Harry’s boss. Harry has no idea.
10. Animal by @big-draco-energy [E, 41k]
►There is this childish urge in me: I want to laugh and call Potter names, getting under his skin, making him look, and notice me and respond. Making him pay attention. Making him furious, fierce and passionate. […]
