snowgallWhat follows is a list of my picks for the best Drarry fanfiction of 2011
(18 fics, sorted by date published)
Updated May 16, 2015
Note: There are so many lists of favorite Harry/Draco fanfiction, but I wanted to do something a little different. Rather than create a list based on genre or length or era or whatever, I've decided to do a series of "best-of X year" lists. This means the year the work was published not the year I read it.
I'm still trying to catch up to 2014--maybe I'll get there in a few more months!
More lists:
- Best of 2015
- Best of 2014
- Best of 2013
- Best of 2012
- Best of 2011
- Best of 2010
- Best of 2009
- Best of 2007-8
- Why am I making these lists?

This entire fic is one long conversation about sex. | |||||

Desperate for survival, Draco takes what he needs from others while avoiding the one he's meant to be with. His newfound compassion will not allow him to trap the one he loves, even if it means his own life is the price paid for Harry's freedom of choice. | |||||

I sit silently in the shadows, staring at the tiny, pulsing ball of light that tells me my Harry's still alive. Remix of khasael's Promises and Sounds, Lines, and Meaning. | |||||

NC-17 | 88,000 | hd-smoochfest | 15-Jun-2011 | |
Harry returns to Hogwarts as the new DADA instructor, only to find his teaching efforts thwarted by a very familiar ghost. This fic contains mature content and the necessity of one of our boys not being alive. Exactly. *grin* | |||||

Harry only wanted Malfoy for one night, one birthday. It wasn't meant to be anything more. | |||||

Draco didn't notice it suddenly, his desire for Potter. He didn't wake up one day with the need to have his tongue down Potter's throat or go in the shower to find that he liked wanking to Potter's mouth. No, it started slow in his veins, pulsing through his body like a ghost. It crept into his sleep in the form of conversations and during the day as he looked forward to reading Potter's wobbly handwriting when they weren't actually talking face to face. | |||||

Draco's a hot mess. Harry's lovin' it (hell yes). | |||||

It always rains for Draco Malfoy. Metaphorically. And literally. Ever since he had accidentally Conjured a cloud. A cloud that's ever so cross. | |||||

Draco and Harry enjoy a heated game of Scrabble. Inspired by the interview with Tom Felton on Lopez Tonight where he mentioned staying up late playing Scrabble with Dan and it got "very heated". Flail. | |||||

Harry Potter is an Unspeakable. Draco Malfoy is the wizard who shagged him. Adventure! Intrigue! Secret identities, celebrities, spies! It's all right here, folks. | |||||
General notes:
- The "original post" column provides links to the first place I can find evidence of the work online. However, it can be really tough to determine when and where a work was first published (see my rant here: Dates Matter). So it could be that a fic was actually published earlier somewhere else and I didn't know it. Corrections are welcome.
- I've read a lot of HD fiction, but I certainly haven't read it all, so if I've left off something you think I shouldn't have, I'm happy for you to let me know.
- I may continue to add works to this list but I will try to keep the total number to 25 or less. (On the challenge of maintaining lists)
- My goal is to add lists for other years as well, time permitting.
How my fic preferences will skew the lists:
- I tend to like fics which contain explicit sex, so the list will probably skew that way. However, I prefer that there be an actual plot, not just sex, and I read PG rated fics too--just fewer of them.
- I like almost all the standard tropes, but I don't usually go for non-magical AUs, unhappy endings, dark!fic, or threesomes
- I don't give a toss who's on top or bottom, so you'll find both here.
- I shy away from epic-length fanfiction unless I'm very confident in the author, so most of my recs will be less than 100,000 words.
