Voldemort’s final defeat does not mean Harry Potter’s troubles are over; far from it. In the aftermath of war, he returns to a Hogwarts that is fractured and divided, but this is no break that can be fixed with a spell. New owls, fading scars, surprising alliances— and along the way, the hardest task of all, to live with it..
I listened to the audiobook.

In Harry’s 7th year, children from the future suddenly appear at Hogwarts and one of them claims to be Harry’s son. Problem is, Harry isn’t the only father. Draco and Harry struggle to come to terms with their future relationship as their son and his friends get up to more mischief that the marauders.
The emotional development in this fic is very realistic, aided by some great writing, but I would have preferred more focus on canon characters than OCs (after all, isn’t that half the reason we read fanfiction?).

London, 2003, and two old enemies have become partners in crime. But the wizarding world is out to disrupt Harry’s none too peaceful existence…
Warning - this fic is abandoned and ends abruptly and unresolved (i.e. no happy ending)
This fic is Drarry royalty, one of the very first and forms the first half of ship name “guns and handcuffs”. Revolving around Gangster!Harry and PartnerInCrime!(and sluty to boot)Draco half a decade after they were forced to leave Hogwarts when caught in bed together. Harry’s now one of the biggest crime bosses of London but he’s very confused and vulnerable when he gets dragged back into the maginal world and struggles to make peace with everyone who betrayed him all those years ago.

Harry goes through some… er, changes before Sixth Year. Everyone, including Draco Malfoy, sits up and takes notice.
And by ‘changes’ the author means he gets super super smoking hot. Everybody wants a piece of him; all the girls, all the boys, even the teachers and especially Seamus Finnigan. Draco Malfoy feels the need to protect Harry’s innocence.
This is so funny. At times I cackled out loud. It’s sort of unbelievable how extreme this whole ‘everyone wants Harry’ thing gets but it’s so funny it totally works.

Following an accident in his seventh year, Draco loses his eyesight. At first he completely withdraws, avoiding any hint of pity, as well as any assistance; he is determined to succeed on his own. But after Harry elbows his way into Draco’s dark world, both boys find themselves in a strange new friendship, and they each learn new ways to see each other … and themselves.
Vulnerable!Draco :D
I did enjoy this fic, it really revolves around Draco coping with his blindness and Harry trying to help him even if he isn’t wanted (although he is perhaps needed). Not exactly what I look for in a fic but it was a great read.

Books have the power to shape young lives. At least that is the hope of the anonymous author of a best-selling series about a Muggle boy and his best friend on the eve of a world war. But stories do more than just shape the future: they can redress the wrongs of the past as well. But only as long as it’s not too late…
This story parallels the H/D generation with that of their kids and the impending third wizarding war. It’s melancholy and poetic and heart-wrenching. I listened to the audiobook.
