    Cheryl Dyson wrote one of my all time favorites, 'The Incredible Race." I have read that story probably a minimum of a dozen times. She is spot on with canon character personalities and behavior. I love me some Cheryl Dyson! She has written many more that I am sure you will enjoy.
    Recommendations are presented in alphabetical order.

    Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, Aurors, are forced to join a televised global race in order to provide some free positive publicity for the Ministry. Throw in the fact the Draco and Harry don't exactly get along (at all) and you've got a great story. Of course, they learn to get along toward the end, but any further explaination would give the story away. I really enjoyed this one and I think you will too. Cheryl says it's her favorite too!
    15 March 2020 - Just re-read this story. It was as much fun to read this time as the last. Fantastic fun! One of my all time favorites!

    18 May 2023 - Just enjoyed this story again. Just awesome!

    From the author: "In my quest to conquer all possible Harry/Draco cliches, I present my Rentboy!Draco fic. *evil smirk* Harry is an Auror and Draco is a Rentboy. This is not a typical rentboy story."

    Someone or something is attacking Muggles and leaving them for dead. Auror Harry Potter is assigned to the case, but with his usual partner unavailable, he is stuck with the most annoying Auror ever to walk the halls of the Ministry.
    Cheryl Dyson has become one of my favorite authors. There are about a half dozen of her stories on this list. You will enjoy every single one of them!
    Note - 28 June 2023 - I changed the link from FanFiction.net to AO3. I just like that you can download the entire work from AO3 in a pdf. That's nice.

    His bruised and bloody body was fished from the Mediterranean Sea with only a wand and a single key as a clue to his identity. Even his name was a mystery. Did he dare to trust the pretty blond man who found him lying on the beach?
    UPDATE: 9 February 2016 - I just finished re-reading this story and it is still as awesome as the first time I read it. Great plot, great story line, great read!
