Fanfiction - Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy

Draco Malfoy is Harry's Auror partner and one of the few people immune to Harry's super Veela charms.

Drop Dead Gorgeous is a popular Harry/Draco slash novel by Maya that was posted in installments on her LiveJournal over the course of two years. The Way We Get By, a four-chapter pre-slash companion piece from Draco's point of view, was also posted during that time. Both works are consistent with book 6 canon, but were jossed by book 7. Together, these are an example of veelafic, aurorfic, futurefic, and stealth crackfic.

    For some reason, it is discovered that Harry is 1/8 Veela. Since Harry has no love life to speak of, his abstinence causes his Veela charms to go into overdrive and 'mini mobs' of aroused muggles and wizards alike start to pester him. Unless Harry wants to quit his job as Auror, he needs to find someone to get off. But Harry has set his eyes on Draco for years now. Only nobody knows, least of all Draco, who is about to propose to his girlfriend.

    This is a long, long story that follows Harry through years of mooning over Draco. At several points I was hoping that something would happen only to see the story taking another uneventful turn. That made for a highly frustrating read. Even more so, since it is one of these stories where the MCs enter some sort of relationship only at the VERY END of the book. Again, very frustrating - and not in a good way.

    So, I'm really not a fan of this Drarry fic. Especially since it doesn't reach any emotional depth worth mentioning imo (contrary to the excellent
    Bond).

  • Sarah

    Super slow burn.

  • Laianna

    Amazing Drarry fanfic that will delight fans of Sarah Rees Brennan’s In Other Lands. The attention to detail and twists on the original story are beautiful and amusing. Would highly recommend.

  • karlakolumna

    4.5 stars, because this fic right there? Totally deserves to have a rounded up rating...

    Really good, but at least a third too long.

  • Yasemin

    When people ask me who my favourite author is I don't have an immediate answer and have to think about it. But when I reread one of Maya's stories I remember that she'll always be my #1. I love the way she combines comedy and heartbreak and how I'm crying while I have to laugh out loud.

    I love this story so very much and whenever I read it it's like coming home. It's beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, and so much fun.

  • Kythwena

    2nd best fic of Maya, after Your Every Wish - still my favorite. Slow burn to extreme, especially if you count Way We Get By. Good dynamics, nicely explored Veela idea, even if I see Draco as Veela more naturally. At the beginning thought it would be another crack fic but turned differently. Loved Wood in it. Predatory Potter is a sign - usually I don't like him much but here he was remarkable.

  • Dimplz

    DNF.

    I picked this up because of the many glowing reviews this story has received over the years. I was not aware when I started reading this that this story was a crack fic. Crack is my absolute least favorite trope so unfortunately, this story was very much not my style.

  • MJ

    After finishing In Other Lands I really got nostalgic for the olden days. Now I'm up late sulking about how beautiful love is in stories, so just your typical Saturday night really.

    I have never heretofore claimed fic on my Goodreads but this puppy is LENGTHY and I have earned it.

  • Sasha

    This should be 4 stars but the 5th wormed its way out of my cold, unfeeling heart and gave me life for the past 8 years before hopping onto here. never again will something make me feel the way "'I’m laughing so hard I think I’m dribbling a little,' Malfoy said from under the table" does

  • hazel

    Possibly the funniest piece of fiction I’ve ever read ever with completely amazing laugh-out-loud-for-hours-your-neighbors-begin-to-wonder dialogue. Best slow burn ever ever (like seriously I had to go check around halfway to make sure it was indeed slash because I was starting be concerned for my heart). AND it’s far too entertaining and believable for it’s ludicrous concept. This fic is a SIN. It’s also pretty PG-13, we love to see it! And so rich with 1000 emotions it’s ridiculous. Go indulge yourself now.

  • Calypso

    Best drarry fic hands down

  • Evalangui

    Maybe my fifth re-read and god, worth every quip!

  • Chelsea

    Very cute and funny.

  • GrEatE

    4.5*

  • tired lesbian

    I have been meaning to read this fic for years, and since I've finally finished it, I have to say-- yeah. Yeah, it's worth reading this. The plot was actually good and I did not expect the villain, which is good. I like when the author actually puts some thought into the bits of the plot that aren't the shippy parts lmao. Humour was incredible, 10/10. Miscommunication trope to the extreme, but honestly with the way Harry and Draco are in canon, it's easy for me to believe that would actually be one of their biggest issues to overcome so. The way certain characters were written was beautiful. VEELA BLAISE ZABINI, please be in every single HP fanfic from here on out.

  • Eva

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAA the fucking katie stuff made me want to kill myself. draco and harry are so.... amazing and i love them.
    for some reason i thought ron and pansy lived in a house that looks like a giant cheese but when i reread it, it was a little less chaotic evil.
    AHFKSFJ THE FUCKING BIRD WHISTLE TONES AND DRACO AND THAT GODDAMN BOOK KILLED ME.

  • Emily Crowe

    Draco/Harry. Humor. Adventure. Romance. Angst.

  • Minh

    So cracktastic, I still love it.

    The reveal! The lol's. Amazing.

  • Cam R. watson

    One of the best Drarry fanfics ever. Well developed characters and relationships.
