Summary
Draco's move home to Wiltshire after more than a decade is anything but easy. He's given up an illustrious career in journalism to pursue poetry, his mother's health is declining, and it seems that the War isn't quite as 'in the past' as Draco assumed. Luckily, he's found a supportive, if unconventional, community and a local bakery to haunt that sells the most divine macarons.
Too bad Harry Bloody Potter has to storm in and shake everything up, per usual.
Harry is content with his life. Really, he is. Sure, the life of an ex-professional athlete is a bit slow, but that's what he'd wanted when he retired from Quidditch to run his own bakery. Now, he gets to spend his days doing something that he loves in the company of his family and friends. He's fine to let one day bleed placidly into the next, until--
Draco Malfoy turns up at his bakery, causes a scene about his pastries, and is maybe, probably, definitely up to something.
This is a story about two people boldly chasing their happiness in spite of their fears, overcoming the chokehold of a difficult past, and learning how to communicate by whatever means necessary, be it rhymes or recipes.

Summary
It's the summer of 1998. The battle is over, and Voldemort is dead, but Harry still has more questions than answers. Who is he without a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head? What is he supposed to do now?
His friends try to help, but the only thing that can hold his attention—one of the only things that ever has—is Draco Malfoy, out on parole and weirdly hanging around the British Museum.
As they keep running into each other, Harry sees that Malfoy is different, and he wonders if he can be someone else, too.
Featuring rumpled band shirts, poker games everyone hates, fumbling sex, and a Harry going a little mental over how wands even work.
Fic title from "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve, which was released in 1998. Playlist to get in the late '90s mood.

Summary
With no wand and no money left, Draco Malfoy sees only one option to survive and protect the one person that still cares for him.
Harry Potter is going through the motions, not quite sure why he's not satisfied with the life he made.
When the two run into each other (again and again) and he learns what his old nemesis, who really doesn't feel like his nemesis at all anymore, does for a living and why, he wants nothing more than to save him.
But Draco is just as stubborn as Harry and it takes the Gryffindor an eternity to convince the Slytherin to give both of them the chance at a new life.
Because even though Harry might have forgiven Draco, the Ex-Death-Eater feels like the road to redemption is a long and bumpy one, and he still has a lot to prove.- Language:

Summary
“Hmm,” Hermione hums, tapping her index finger against her bottom lip and then smiling at Harry. “A broken music box, you say…”
“A cursed one,” Harry corrects her.
“Well, it’s still a music box that is not working properly,” Hermione points out with a very intent grin. “That will give you a chance to see him.”
She wiggles her eyebrows, making him snort.
As if Harry hadn’t thought about it straight away. As if Harry’s mind hadn’t immediately wandered to Draco Malfoy the moment Zabini mentioned a music box.- Language:

Summary
Draco Malfoy leads an ordered but rather unfulfilling life, working in a Ministry basement and residing in his cramped Muggle flat. Feeling underappreciated and horribly lonely, he purchases some special charms that allow him to conjure imaginary friends. Unfortunately, after becoming a suspect in a potions smuggling investigation, Draco is forced to surrender a month’s worth of memories for a Pensieve Probe.
The aurors assigned to bear witness to his most private and embarrassing moments are none other than the Ministry ‘darlings’ Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley.

Summary
Harry is lost and broken after the war. He has gone to countless funerals, broken up with Ginny, moved back into Grimmauld Place—which feels darker and dirtier than ever before despite how much he tries to fix it. He feels lonely and desperate, but he won’t ask for help, and he still can’t cry.
When he agreed to help the Aurors at Malfoy Manor over the summer, he thought that he would be breaking dark curses. Harry never thought that he would actually spend his days sorting out dusty books with Draco Malfoy, or teaching him how to cook.
Little by little, as they begin to navigate their life post-war, Harry and Draco become intimate…in more ways than Harry could have ever expected.

Summary
It's never a good sign to be woken up by strange crashing noises...worse that it's Draco Malfoy in the living room.
Excerpt:
Malfoy licked his lips several times while trying to formulate a reply. “It’s not that simple.”
“Then explain it to me.”
“I can’t.” Malfoy glared a challenge at Harry, arms crossed and looking like he wanted Harry to throw a punch.
And for a moment, Harry considered it, imagined pulling his arm back and letting it fly with painful precision. Several times. Even in his imagination, it was exhausting. And besides, the food would be ready soon. “I guess that makes you an enigma wrapped in a mystery coated in sarcasm and asine rules.”
“Pretty much.” Malfoy gave him a smile.
“Want to come with me to get the food?” Malfoy scowled, and Harry raised his hands in defeat. “I know, ‘Questions, Potter. Questions.’ I’m an Auror, we’re supposed to ask questions.” -

Summary
Harry thinks he should have expected some blood and screaming at any Hogwarts-sanctioned event, even almost a decade after leaving school, but the greater surprise is in witnessing Draco Malfoy come to the rescue.
Draco thinks it’s just his rotten luck that Harry Potter's asked for his help.
The rest is a love story.
