Summary
Several years after the war, Draco's finally getting out of Azkaban. The only catch is six months of constant supervision. Who would possibly volunteer for that? Well, no one-- but Ron Weasley, now an ex-Auror with a slew of mental baggage, might be convinced with the right incentive.

I really liked this one. I liked their house and the neighbor ocs and the small town vibes, I liked their little hobbies, I like the career draco ended up in, and ron liking carpentry. The mental illness was pretty well done, would have appreciated draco possibly having more "bad days" but I think his issues were shown in other manners too so it wasnt a big deal. There's conflict but it wasnt really ever about being unsure of their love for eachother, and I really liked that. The beginning of the relationship was maybe bumpy but once it was established it was established

Summary
8th yr, poly throuple, plotty, slow burn but worth it. Malfoy is up to something devious. Ron and Harry are obsessed. Different year, same Hogwarts. In the wake of Voldemort's defeat, their shared history brings them closer than ever.
Featuring: the impertinent voices in Harry's head, a House rising from the ashes, intimate haircuts, magic amulets, Fiendfyre, a very annoying leaf, a nail-biting encounter with the Ministry, crumbling foundations and new beginnings. And stolen kisses in dark corners. Lots of them.
I swear this pairing (thrairing?) will make all the sense.
COMPLETE.

this one has a happy ending but in a way that kinda feels all fucked up and wrong? like it ends happy but first Harry has to fall in love and be manipulated and have his spirit crushed and his morals and autonomy violently ripped from him and then mourn the him that Voldemort killed in that process and then he gets to be happy I guess? but also hes really just following the script that Voldemort has laid out for everyone but he just doesnt have then energy to push back and his spirit is crushed, then theres also the added bonus of some part of Harry wanting nothing more than to give Voldemort all power and control. Very complex and strange feeling and very well written

Denouement by the_never_was
its certainly a drarry fic concept thats been done many a time, but the feelings and relationships and characters in this one were VERY good. Ron in this is my favorite and the thestrals are lovely and abundant. Luna is also amazing but honestly? thats a given

Riddle of the Midnight Sky by Arrisha
kind of a cosmic horror, kinda a road trip fic. the end made me cry a lot in that unfair, melancholy, end-of-things way. The end wasn't necessarily sad but made me cry a lot so warning to future me considering rereading this.
