Ahead of His Time by Rick Beck
    New book from Rick Beck!"Ahead of His Time" by Rick Beck is Rick's latest story.
     Kerry Kane moved two desks together so we could talk quietly and not disrupt the students in Mrs Frump's third grade class. After school, my first day at Eagle Point Elementary, Kerry walked me home. He held my hand.
     I didn't know what friendship was, but I thought Kerry was my friend.
     I was captivated by Kerry. I never felt closer to anyone. For one reason or another, he allowed me to hook my wagon to his star. I was no longer alone. I was small. The world was very big.

He was sixteen and ideas like that didn't seem practical. He wasn't a kid.

Las Vegas!
    Jeff and I are off to Las Vegas tomorrow for a few days. We plan on catching "O" by Cirque du Soleil (one of the few we haven't seen) and have reservations at some pretty swanky restaurants. This is the third year we've traveled on his brithday. Last year was New Yorrk and the year before was Nashville. We've been to Las Vegas probably a dozen times. Despite the high temperatures, we look forward to having a great time!

Autumn Allies by Rick Beck
    " Autumn Allies" is a brand new work from Rick Beck. 5/? chapters have been posted.
    I sat on the front porch after supper on my birthday. I had a date with that mountain out there in the distance. It wasn't clear to me how I'd prove I was a man to Paw. I'd been pondering on it a spell. I'd need to leave the cabin in the valley by the river that was the only home I'd ever known. I'd leave to prove myself. Once I saw that Hawkin rifle I got for my birthday, I knew what I'd do. I had a man's rifle now and I was going to shoot me a griz.

He was a United States Air Force Sergeant and radio personality whose experiences as an innovative disc jockey on American Forces Network during the Vietnam War inspired the 1987 film Good Morning, Vietnam starring Robin Williams as Cronauer.

Pulse was hosting "Latin Night", and most of the victims were Latino. It is the deadliest incident in the history of violence against LGBT people in the US and the deadliest terroist attack in the US since 9/11.

Happy Pride Month!
    LGBTQIA2S+* Pride Month is a month dedicated to celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride. The concept of Pride Month began with the Stonewall riots, a series of riots for gay liberation that took place over several days beginning on June 28, 1969. The riots began after a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar located within Lower Manhattan in New York City.
    *LGBTQIA2S+ is an acronym that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or gender expansive, queer and/or questioning, intersex, asexual, and two-spirit. The plus sign (+) indicates that there are additional identity terms.

Comicality - author extraordinaire
    Comicality2 May 1975 - 16 April 2024
    Sadly, Comicality passed away in April 2024 after a long struggle with liver failure after well over a year of struggling with his intermittently failing health. Comicality, Comsie, Comet, Com ... what ever nick name you knew him by, was a household name to an entire community of survivors. He was larger than life, outgoing, friendly, a great friend, always helpful and an extremely talented author. Comsie was everywhere with eBooks (available on Amazon), he e-zine Imagine, ShackOutBack, his forums and more. He is missed by his many fans but his stories live on.

    "Love is a Deserter" by WantsUnicorns has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots page. After an unexpected encounter, Harry finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about the world he lives in. The deeper he digs, the more disturbing are the things he finds. He is torn between setting things right and the harm that could do to the people he loves. Eventually he has to realise that some things are larger than him and that or everything to get better he might actually have to start with himself.

24 April 2024
    "Star Quality" by who_la-hoop has been added to the who_la_hoop prolific author page under the Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Two years after the war, and Harry’s content with his life. OK, so it’s a little annoying that he keeps winning Witch Weekly’s Most Eligible Bachelor award, and he’s really not looking forward to the unveiling of an enormous gold statue of himself, but he loves his friends, and he loves being an Auror. And if he yearns for something more, something he can barely bring himself to think about, well, he’ll probably get over it. No one’s happy all the time, are they? But then everything changes, and Harry’s thrown into a new and dazzling world he’s not sure he can actually escape from. And as time goes on, he starts to wonder: does he actually want to?
    The story involves a pop star and his fans, wish magic, a whole lot of wizards that are now muggle and roof top star gazing. who_la_hoop is one of my favs when it comes to Drarry stories.

Columbine High School Shooting Massacare
    It was twenty-five years ago today that twelfth-grade students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered twelve students and one teacher. The Columbine massacre was the deadliest (16 dead) mass shooting at a K-12 school in U.S. history, until it was surpassed by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012 (26 dead). Later the Uvalde school shooting in May 2022 (21 dead) the Parkland high school shooting in February 2018 (17 dead). Columbine still remains both the deadliest mass shooting and the deadliest school shooting to occur in the U.S. state of Colorado.

On a much lighter note ...

Four Twenty!
    In 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California, used the term "4:20" in connection with a plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by the grower. Calling themselves the Waldos, because their typical hang-out spot "was a wall outside the school", the five students — Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich — designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 pm as their meeting time. The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". After several failed attempts to find the crop, the group eventually shortened their phrase to "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a code-word the teens used to refer to consuming cannabis.

    "1000 Points from Gryffindor" from an orphan account has been added to the Untimate Harry/Draco page. The story of how Harry Potter single-handedly lost Gryffindor the House Cup while attempting to have a “normal” year at Hogwarts. Featuring Harry's suspicious nature turned up to eleven again, a new DADA teacher who is so not here for Harry’s fame, multiple detentions, Slytherins being sneaky, Hufflepuffs being sneakier, and the mystery of Draco Malfoy's hoodie because seriously Hermione who gave that to him and is he wearing it just to torment me? This is ridiculous!
    Here's some humor and it's a fun read.

10 April 2024
    "Bloody But Unbowed" by Lomonaaeren has been added to the Lomonaaeren Rec's page. Nothing in Harry's life has gone the way he expected, and that includes being the mediwizard assigned to treat Lucius Malfoy. But he's Harry; he can deal with this. And he can deal with Draco Malfoy's nonsensical flirting, too.

    "Can You Spare a Quarter" by Tigerpaw has been added to the Suggested Reading Complete page. The morning dawned clear and cold over the city. Frost clinging to the bricks on the sides of the buildings sparkled in the rays of the rising sun as it peeked through the thin wisps of fog that lay in isolated patches over the city. Beneath the unblemished blue sky down in a back alley a pile of discarded newspapers began to shift as a small figure stirred beneath them. At first the movements were subtle, but then a tattered running shoe appeared from under the mound of newspaper. Then another foot appeared and finally a small dirty young hand came into view and moved the upper layers of newspaper to one side.

    "Coup de Grâce" by FibromyalGIA has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Harry Potter is dead and Voldemort has won-- at least that's what everyone's been told to believe. The world is at war, Hogwarts is more dangerous than ever, and Draco Malfoy finds himself part of a group of rebels, hell-bent on fighting back against the system of oppression now in place. Their numbers are small and hope is difficult to hold onto, but Draco is willing to risk his entire life in order to change the world for the better. He hadn't wanted things to be this way... not really.

Set at the fictional elite boarding school Hillerska, the plot primarily follows the fictional Prince Wilhelm of Sweden (Edvin Ryding), his romance with fellow student Simon Eriksson (Omar Rudberg). Omar is quite the musician and and sings like an angel. It's a classic Prince and the Pauper plot.

    Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a HUGE fan!! I watched Season One in 2021 and patiently waited for Season Two in 2022 and finally, tonight I watched Season 3 Episode 6, the final episode. With tears running down my cheeks ... not gonna give it away. Watch it!

    "A Run to Misery" another Joe Buck American Trucker Adventure from Rick Beck hits the shelves on Rick's page today! Now remember all you four wheelers, keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down. I'll catch you on the flip flop.
    Now, a snippet - Joe's eyes fell on the only other person in the entire place. In the last booth along the wall with the windows, a lonely figure sat looking out the window. The light coming in the window plainly lit up a young distraught face. His face was turned toward the window. His cheeks shined from the wetness.
    This one had my heart pounding and my eyes wet with tears. I did not expect that! As always, Rick Beck delivers another enjoyable read. Thanks Rick!

29 February 2024
    "Defying the Odds" by Ibbsterkisster has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Suggested Reading Page. There was only so much Draco Malfoy could take. He was intelligent, he could see what was happening, what he was fighting for, what he had to pay for a cause he didn't even believe in. He wasn't brave, he didn't rush into situations without thinking first. He wasn't a Gryffindor. Draco Malfoy was a Slytherin. And he was about to show the world and a certain green-eyed Saviour, how useful Slytherins could be.
    The author's native tongue is not English, but does a relatively good job. This is a dark story, with many loveable character deaths (not Harry or Draco). There is some rape/sexual assault, so be warned. I enjoyed this epic.

28 February 2024

Radio Anniversary Day!
    Broadcasting (being a disc jockey) was such a huge part of my life, that I like to acknowledge the day it all started, two weeks after my 16th birthday. Ha, you should see my vinyl album collection (in the thousands), not to mention my collection of 45s (for those of you who do not know what a 45 is, please click here to broaden you knoweldge base). You'd have thunk that working 6pm to midnight all through high school (don't ask me how I got my parents' permission) that my popularity at school would skyrocket. It didn't, but ... everybody knew my name. *wink* May a disc jockey give you a smile today.

    "An Anchor of Time" by JoJo_MoJo has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Suggested Reading page. Draco has a pocket watch, a family heirloom. Instead of telling time, it informs him about the next coming moment ---- how long till your potion burns, or your loved ones wither and lost. It has been seven years since the war was over. Draco now owns a small potions store in a far corner of Knockturn Alley. Despite all the loss and painful changes, he is somewhat settled with his current state of life. It is mostly quiet, which is good, until the day Harry Potter, with severe sleep deprivation, pushs open the door and steps into his store. Not long after, Harry's face is stuck on his pocket watch. Harry has a problem for which only Draco has a cure. But perhaps, the problem fixing part is mutual.

15 February 2024
    "Waiting By An Open Door" by Femme (femmequixotic) has been added to the Harry/Draco Oneshots page. Draco starts following Potterwatch secretly during the War. He wishes Potter would come save him too. But that sort of thing only happens in fairy tales, and Malfoys don't get fairy tale endings, do they?
    It's a single chapter with almost 30K words and you'll enjoy every one.

14 February 2024
    "A Private Reason for This" by Femme (femmequixotic) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Sugggested Reading page. When the wife of a star politician in the Scottish Ministry turns up dead just outside Hogsmeade, Draco Malfoy and his murder investigation team are called in from the Edinburgh Auror force to find her killer. What DCI Malfoy doesn't expect, however, is to have an ex from two decades past end up in his murder room, endangering not only his case, but also his heart.

    "Keep This Wolf" by Lomonaaeren has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page and the Lomonaaeren page. Draco knows full well that he’s being set up. There is no other reason to pull an Unspeakable out of the Department of Mysteries and assign him to negotiate with a werewolf pack. But when he learns the werewolf leader is Harry Potter, Draco wonders if the setup isn’t a different kind than he anticipated.

    At the top of the The Ultimate Harry/Draco page I added links to PROLIFIC AUTHORS' individual pages. I also added a page with Harry/Draco Classics, the stories that define the genre.

    "When Harry Sniffed Draco" by CorvetteClaire has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Once upon a time, wizard blood was mingled with that of wolves and a race of magical creatures known as Lycans was born. In the millennia since the race nearly died out, until Lycans have become little more than legends or fairytales. So imagine his surprise when, shortly after his 18th birthday, Draco Malfoy goes into heat! Draco now finds himself in the awkward position of being the only known Omega in the wizarding world. He wants to return to Hogwarts to finish his education, but that could pose a problem for a young man who floods every room he enters with pheromones, has a bad habit of dropping his trousers for any likely-looking man, and periodically goes into heat. And that's when there are no Alphas around to complicate matters. The only saving grace for Draco is that Alphas are even rarer than Omegas, and the chances of him running afoul of one at Hogwarts are virtually nil. Until Harry Potter turns up, that is.

Groundhog Day 2 Feb 2024
    Groundhog Day!
    He didn't see his shadow so expect an early spring. Yea!
    Recommended reading for Groundhog Day:
    "Groundhog Day" by Sprout2012
    Yes, this story is inspired by the movie of the same name (1993) that starred Bill Murray. Poor Draco is stuck in the same day, day after day after day, until he finally gets it right. Read and enjoy.
    "Tea and No Sympathy" by who_la_hoop
    It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?
    Happy Groundhog's Day!

31 January 2024
    "Lamp In the Cooling Room" by Sansa has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots Page. Draco and Harry become snared in a trap, but they're not alone. Love guides our path for reasons we can't always understand. Features an original character. This is some very cleaver writing on Sansa's part.

    "Time is a Construct Series" by Gracerene has been added to the Suggested FanFic One Shots page. Draco's in a bit of a rut. He's nearing forty, divorced, and he still can't figure out how to make his Time Turner reconstruction work. He's bored, he can admit it, so he's not nearly as concerned as he should be when his pet project malfunctions and sends him twenty years into the past. That is, until he ends up relying on a nineteen-year-old Harry Potter for help and starts developing some very inconvenient—and possibly reciprocated—feelings.

    "Out of My League" by Gee Whillickers has been added to the Suggested Reading Shorts page. Hockey fans, get in line!
    Almost every community-level team from five years old right up to fifteen has at least one, and usually three or four, girls on it. At older ages and higher levels the girls have their own leagues. Thanks to immigration, most of us didn't even notice unimportant things like skin colour, or even language. Half the teams I've played on, we all knew the words for, “Pass it over here!” in Punjabi, Farsi, Armenian, and half a dozen other languages as well as we knew them in English or French. Immigrant kids, even against their parents' wishes, wanted to play hockey, and so they did. But, there was still one exception. One huge, glaring exception. It stood unmoving, unaffected. Completely rock-solid, even today. There are no gay hockey players.

    Just in time for Christmas - a short story from Cole Parker.
    "An Unexpected Christmas" by Cole Parker has been added to the Suggested Short Story Page. What was a humilating disaster in the middle of class turns into something wonderful.

21 December 2023
Winter Solstice
    The winter solstice happens for peeps in the Northern hemisphere today at 10:27PM EST. For peeps in the Southern hemisphere, it's the longest day of the year.
    The winter solstice, also called the hibernal solstice, occurs when either of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere (Northern and Southern). For that hemisphere, the winter solstice is the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year.
    As I said last year, it's the perfect night to light a few candles and have marathon sex. Afterall,we have all night and it is the longest night of the year. Happy monkey sex to you all and to you all a slip slappery night.

    "Christmas Demon Part Two A Father's Joy" by Rick Beck as arrived just in the for Christmas! Father Samuel parked his car off to one side and he walked toward the pasture fence. He'd seen Michael's blond hair flowing in the breeze on top of the black Arabian that adopted the boy before the Horatio Arnolds adopted him and young Kenny Kelly five years before. And the story continues.

    And another Christmas present from Rick Beck! "A Run to Savannah" is a Joe Buck Christmas story you will enjoy!

    "Tim" by Cole Parker has been added to The Suggested Complete page.
    Follow along with Tim as he encounters the teen years, church, being gay, divorce and even more hurdles. Not is all smooth going for Tim, but with the help of Terry and a no-nonsense John, who has Brittle Bone disease and spends most of his day in a wheelchair, Tim finally figures it out. Cole Parker does a great job telling the story.

    "Growing Pains" by Cole Parker has been added to The Suggested Complete page.
    “I have the partner assignments already made. I didn’t want you to choose someone; this will work better working with someone who isn’t already one of your friends. Friends won’t push each other as hard. We have a mixture of boys and girls here, and most partnerships will match one of each. However, we have more boys than girls, so a few groups will be composed of two boys working together. Okay. I’ll read off the pairings at the end of class. It’ll be up to you guys to get together, figure out study sessions, and get going with it.”
    He went on with how we could use computers and the school library to find the info we needed. He then read off the twosome assignments; I was one of the boys who had a boy for a partner. Maybe the worst boy in class. Maybe the worst boy in the entire school. Tanner Booth.


11 December 2023
    "Accidental Romance" by Cole Parker has been added to The Suggested Complete page. I had a lot of thinking to do. Was I gay? What was I? I was David, but gay David? Straight David? Something else? What? I often accused myself of overthinking things, but this needed a lot of thought. I gave myself time for that. This didn’t seem like overthinking but more like letting my brain go where it hadn’t before, where I’d prevented it from going.
    The first Cole Parker novel I read was "One Summer in Georgia." I was hooked. And here's another Cole Parket recommendation.

10 December 2023
    "Control and Kaos" by David Buffet has been added to The Suggested Complete page. EJ and Tropher were highschools jocks. Seth and Theo were two gay boys with an obsession for Maxwell Smart of the 60's sitcom Get Smart.
    "Boys would probably be easier," EJ said. "Make them cum and they're happy." Topher laughed at this, pointing out that he was much the same. "That's the whole idea," said EJ. "You don't have to spend all your time worrying about what they're thinking or what they want. Girls are fucking baffling."

9 December 2023
    The Memorial Page and the Suicide Page have been updated. According the the CDC, winter time is slow for suicide while spring and summer are highest. Are you or someone you know struggling? Visit my Suicide Page for lots of options.
    Key findings from The Trevor Project for the last year:
— Rates of suicide attempts were generally higher among LGBTQ youth of color, and particularly among Native/Indigenous LGBTQ youth — 21% say they attempted suicide in the past year.
— 60% of LGBTQ youth who wanted mental health care in the past year were unable to get it.
— 73% of LGBTQ youth reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and 58% reported experiencing depression symptoms.
— Respondents also described their sources of joy, which included BTS, Lil Nas X, Dungeons & Dragons, wearing a binder for the first time and seeing representation of LGBTQ people of color in the media.

    "For the Price of a Soul" by SilverCookieDust has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. After selling his soul to a demon for incredible power at the tips of his fingers, Harry flees Privet Drive to spend his next few years on the streets of London, hidden magically as well as physically. When he finally enrolls at Hogwarts, only a handful of people know who he truly is, but obscurity doesn’t keep him from trouble and power doesn’t make for experience.
    Recommended by my good friend Marcos from Italy. Thanks Marcos! You always find great stories.

    "Bashing a Queer" by Nigel Gordon has been added to the Sugggested Rading Shorts page.
    "Oh, my God," Barry exclaimed, as he watched the new boy mince across the yard and into the school entrance, "I don't believe it."
    "Did you see what he was wearing?" Grant asked, not certain he could believe his eyes. Nobody, but nobody could be that stupid; everybody knew how Barry felt about queers after one of them had made a pass at him. And everybody knew that Barry was the boss around here.
    "Yes, a fucking Gay Rainbow badge. He's going to get it. This is going to be fun."
    "Careful Barry, you're on your last warning about bullying."
    "I know, but I'm not putting up with queers around here. We'll have to take him off school premises. Paul, find out where he lives." The fourteen-year-old, the youngest of the Q boys, nodded, wondering why Barry always picked him for that sort of job.


12 November 2023
    "Dittany and other healing remedies for the heart" by Liligalaxy has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. After the final battle Harry, Hermione and Ron go back to Hogwarts to finish their eighth year, but some things are never going to be the same. Having lost so much, Harry just wants to go back to the only place he can call home and heal, but sometimes when you've lost everything you thought safe and certain, the only way to move forward is to make amends with the past and maybe, just maybe, find something new. Or, how one cup of tea can mend even broken hearts.

Matthew Shepard
    Matthew Shepard died on this date in 1998, 24 years ago. His parents have been relentless in educating the public and I applaud their efforts. You can visit the Matthew Shephard Foundation website by clicking on this link. The Matthew Shepard Foundation’s mission is to amplify the story of Matthew Shepard to inspire individuals, organizations, and communities to embrace the dignity and equality of all people.
    On October 7, 1998, Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming, was brutally attacked and tied to a fence in a field outside of Laramie, Wyoming and left to die. On October 12, Matt succumbed to his wounds in a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado.
    In the aftermath of Matt’s death, his parents, Judy and Dennis Shepard, started the Matthew Shepard Foundation to honor his life and aspirations. Inspired by the tragedy they endured, the initial purpose of the Foundation was to teach parents with children who may be questioning their sexuality to love and accept them for who they are, and to not throw them away.

National Coming Out Day
    National Coming Out Day in the United States is celebrated each year to mark the anniversary of the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. Yes, this queer threw open the closet door way back when and has not looked back ever since. I even kissed Jeff on the Capitol lawn!

10 October 2023
    "Tyler" by Vance Lister (vlista20) has been added to the Suggested Complete page. Tyler’s a foster kid, after being abused by his parents and mistreated in foster care he’s angry with the world and has all but given up on finding true happiness, until he meets Connor, but is he too angry to let himself be happy? This was so honest ... heartbreaking at times ... kids can be so cruel. Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster. Vance spins a story that will have you experiencing every human emotion from laughter to tears. It captured my heart and it will capture your's too.
    Note: This was added from my Short List page. Thanks Boas for the recommendation!

2 October 2023
    "A Run from Baltimore" by Rick Beck, a Joe Buck Trucker tale, has been added to his page. The first time I noticed Mark, he stepped out in front of my car. There are many ways to get someone's attention. This is how Mark got mine. It began years of him coming and going from my truck. Even in those early days, Mark proved his value to me. Mark wasn't what I'd call handsome, but he exuded sexuality.

27 September 2023
    "All Our Secrets Laid Bare" by firethesound has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Over the six years Draco Malfoy has been an Auror, four of his partners have turned up dead. Harry Potter is assigned as his newest partner to investigate just what is going on. That's the author's summary, but oh, wow, there's so much more. Good plot, great action and drama. You will never guess who's behind the deaths! You'll be glad you read this one! Added from my Short List.

24 September 2023
    It with a great deal of sadness to announce that AwesomeDude owner and founder, Vale Mike Wengert passed away on on Saturday 9 September 2023 following a massive heart attack. AwesomeDude will continue for the time being with further announcements about the site to come at a later date.

    "Going Home" by Cole Parker has been added to the Suggested Complete page. Rory Spencer writes a best selling book about his struggles growing up gay. A movie deal follows, where Rory meets Cary, a young actor playing a young Rory. Cary reminds Rory so much of himself that he takes him under his wing. After a lot of internal debate, Rory decides to go home and confront his father, who had thrown Rory out of the house for being gay. He invites Cary to go along on the long road trip. Cary's shyness is almost palpable, but Rory helps him overcome the shyness. This is a wonderful adventure that I am sure you will love. Added from my Short List.

18 September 2023
    "The Price of Friendship" by Graeme has been added to the Suggested Complete page. Take one socially awkward Rick, who hasn't had one single friend in over two years, and move him to a new town. Now he's the new kid at school and scared to death. Then he meets Drew who introduces him to his friends. Suddenly, Rick has a whole lot of friends. Then he finds out Drew is gay and Rick is his new boyfriend. Does he deny he's gay and possibly lose all his new friends? Or does no pretend to be gay?
    Awesome story by Australian Graeme who is also the author of "Falls Creek Lessons," "New Brother" and "Heart of the Tree" all of which are on the Suggested Complete page.
    Note: This was added from my Short List page.

12 September 2023
    "Ocean" by Jevic, The Tarheel Writer is now complete. Fifteen chapters and 128,422 words of a wild ride with Ocean and Ian, our main characters. After the death of his parents, Ian finds himself in foster care with a horrible family. It is so bad that he runs away from his foster home and stumbles into a campsite where he meets a lovely long haired blond boy by the name of Ocean, who is immediately smitten with Ian. This one also drips in explict sexual content along with some mild drug use. Anyone that would name their kid Ocean would probably have an open mind when it comes to partaking in the natural plants that nature provides. You might call them modern day hippies.
    "Ocean" is about the struggles of teenagers, bullying, jealousy, tragic death (sorry for killing off a popular character), sex, orgies and eventual love. You'll enjoy this one. It was fun to write.

23 August 2023
    "This Ain't the Garden of Eden" by Romaine has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. In 2020, Hit Wizard Harry is starting to enjoy his life. He’s divorced, and no longer Head Auror. His biggest project these days is trying to remodel 12 Grimmauld Place for him and the kids. Draco Malfoy is recovering from his wife’s death. But is happy with his Ministry position as Temporary Head of the Department of Intoxicating Substances, and with his son who he adores. This all changes quickly when Minister Shacklebolt decides not to run for another term. The assumption is that 'all is well' in the British Magical world, and that Hermione Granger-Weasley will easily be voted in as the next Minister for Magic. However, Draco knows better. He knows she has a strong competitor who is wooing those who live in Knockturn. And if he wins, the Ministry, and all that has been accomplished the previous twenty odd years, will be destroyed.

    All links on the Suggested Harry/Draco One Shots page have been updated along with the Suggested Reading Short Stories page. The WIP Works in Progress page has been updated. The Suggested Reading Special Stories page has been updated as well.
    At least once a year, if not more, I verify all links to stories I recommend. Sometimes the links change to a better location and sometimes stories disappear. Those that disappear, I usually have saved a sharable copy and I have indicated them. A lot of the stories I recommend were written a long time ago. The Tarheel Writer has been on the World Wide Web for now over twenty years, so yeah, some stories wre written a long time ago, but I add new stories all the time. So check by often to see new recommendations and take a moment to check out some really good stories that were writen over a decade ago. There are some real gems out there that are worth your time to read. Cheers!

24 July 2023
    "Boy, Bus & Key" by Dabeagle has been added to the Suggested Reading Shorts page. Summer is the best time to be a teenager, I think. Free time coupled with the ability to work as much as you could or wanted to before Fall hit. Fall was the sad time with the impending return to school and all the leaves to be raked. The only good thing about this upcoming fall was that this would be my senior year; the last I'd have to endure. Then it was on to college and a more mature mind set.
    At least that was the hope.

12 July 2023
    All links on the Suggested Complete page have been verified. Had to re-read a few stories in the process. Appropriate notes were made. Enjoy!

4 July 2023
Happy 4th of July!
     To those in the United States, Happy Fourth of July!

    I have been meticuliously updating links. I am happy to say that the Ultimate Harry/Draco page is updated with all links verified, archives verified, pictures updated and the page is good to go. I will keep working on other pages on the site to get them updated, but the Ultimate Harry/Draco page is huge with well over 400 links verified.

17 June 2023
    "Mind Over Matter" by nat rulz has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Harry never was good at potions. Ron never was good at controlling his temper. Draco never was good at shutting his mouth. A disastrous choice in potion pairings by the Harry-Hating Snape only ends up brewing trouble. When the potion inevitably explodes Harry and Draco are landed in the hospital wing, completely unconscious. Upon waking they discover that not only do they feel an annoying itch which neither can identify but they are also able to see into the only place no one is meant to see- the other's mind. Scared into secrecy by the though of being used for experimentation in order to get rid of the condition (that was probably not curable anyway) how will these two enemies cope with not only each other, the itch and the threatening shadow of Lord Voldemort, but a jumble of mixed up no-sense, 'what-the-hell-am-I-thinking?'

    It was seven years ago today that the shooting took place at the Pulse Night Club in Orlando. Fifty people died and fifty-three were wounded. Pulse was hosting "Latin Night", and most of the victims were Latino. It is the deadliest incident in the history of violence against LGBT people in the US and the deadliest terroist attack in the US since 9/11. Let's pause a moment and remember those that died and were wounded. May peace be with them all.

2 June 2023
    "Protect Me" by xenadragon_xoxo has been added to the Harry/Draco OneShots page. Harry Potter has spent the last seven years doing everything the Wizarding World’s saviour and Golden Boy shouldn’t – breaking it off with his childhood sweetheart, quitting Auror training, and living in isolation in Muggle London. Having just gotten out of an emotionally and financially abusive relationship, Harry hasn’t been out of his house in weeks. Meanwhile, after disappearing from the Wizarding World and moving to America for seven years, Draco Malfoy has become a famous Hollywood actor and is back in England to film his latest movie. When Draco begins to receive serious threats, he asks for a Wizard bodyguard to be assigned to him, and who should be more fit for the job than the fallen-from-grace Man Who Lived Twice himself? But can Harry and Draco set aside their differences and work together, or is this just a disaster in the making?

Tina Turner
    News reached us today that Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock and Roll, died at the age of 83 after a long illness. She had suffered ill health in recent years, being diagnosed with intestinal cancer in 2016 and having a kidney transplant in 2017. She was an awesome performer with hits like Proud Mary, Simply the Best, Private Dancer and Nutbush City Limits, she rocked it out.
    Her death, while sad, reminds us that our time here on earth does have an expiration date. Enjoy life while you can!

18 May 2023
    I just finished re-reading "The Incredible Race" by Cheryl Dyson again. What a fantastic story!
    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!

10 May 2023
    "It Started in the Shower Series" by chickenlivesinpumpkin has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco list. When Harry finds Malfoy in his shower at Grimmauld Place, the two boys struggle to keep their hands to themselves, not realizing that their 'enemies-with-benefits' relationship will eventually become considerably darker and more powerful. That relationship will influence the search for the horcruxes--and the war--in unpredictable ways.
    That brings the total number of recommendations on the Ultimate Harry/Draco page to 422.

10 May 2023
    "Say My Name" by Thunderbird has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco list. It's an 8th Year story and Harry just wants to shower in peace, but the 8th year boy's bathroom is already occupied by Draco Malfoy, who's taking care of some business of his own. Good story I read a bit ago, but forgot to add it. So there, all fixed. You'll enjoy this story over at Adult Fan Fiction.

    Tid bit for the day. "Fuck" is the most commonly-used swear word, with 11.62 uses for every 1000 posts on Twitter. With 48 curse words per 1000 tweets, residents of Georgia use the most profanities of any US state, with Minnesota (15 per 1000 tweets) swearing the least. Ha!

4 May 2023
    Two more chapters of "Ocean have been posted. That's fourteen total chapters (120,677 words so far) now posted in my Stories by Jevic page. Sorry about the cliffhanger from Chapter Twelve. Things get resolved in these new chapters. Just another reminder, this one has mild drug and alcohol use along with explicit sex.

Kyle Ross (Aaron Cumbey)
    Sad to announce that iconic Helix gay porn star Kyle Ross, real name Aaron Cumbey, died from injuries in a car wreck last weekend in Florida. Everybody at The Tarheel Writer expresses our condolences to his family and friends. He was one of my favorite stars and I am deeply saddened at his loss.

Earth Day 2022!
    It's Earth Day and it is sad that people still throw trash out of car windows. Make a very small effort to pick up a piece of trash today. Think of how much trash would be picked up if all 7.888 billion (population of the planet) of us did that today. Thank you.

The boys sure to get up to some stuff and a warning of violence and character death. Just another reminder, this one has mild drug and alcohol use along with explicit sex. Enjoy! My apologies for the chapter twelve cliffhanger.

17 March 2023
    Three more chapters of "Ocean" have been posted. That's nine total chapters (86,994 words so far) now posted on my latest work in progress. Just a reminder, this one has mild drug and alcohol use along with explicit sex. Enjoy!

    Three more chapters of "Ocean" have been posted. That's six total chapters (68,954 words) now posted on my latest work in progress. Just a reminder, this one has mild drug and alcohol use along with explicit sex. Enjoy!

    Heard from FanFiction Author Samayel today. He is one of my all time favorite FanFiction authors. "All I Ever Wanted" is a classic with Draco waking up in bed with Harry with no memory of the party last night. 55 chapers. A true Harry/Draco classic. Then there's "Redeem Me" which is another classic. Draco shows up at the Burrow where Harry is living, desperate for help. 68 wonderful chapters. Finally, there's "Second Hand Robes." One of my all time Samayel favorites. Draco is almost penniless. An anonymous benefactor had paid for his school supplies. Draco soon finds out, it's Harry Potter.
It was fantastic to hear from Samayel!

5 March 2023
    "Survivor's Joy by Lomonaaeren has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots page. Harry works for the Aurors. Draco works for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. There’s not much reason for them to meet—until someone starts selling diluted Wolfsbane potion, and they find out just how much the years since the war have moved them both on from simply surviving.

3 March 2023
    The first three chapters of "Ocean" have been posted. It's the latest work by me, Jevic, The Tarheel Writer. After the death of his parents, Ian finds himself in foster care with a horrible family. It is so bad that he runs away from his foster home and stumbles into a campsite where he meets a lovely long haired blond boy by the name of Ocean, who is immediately smitten with Ian. This one also drips in explict sexual content alomg with some drug use. Anyone that would name their kid Ocean would probably have an open mind when it comes to partaking in the natural plants that nature provides. You might call them modern day hippies. Mild drug use and explicit, steamy, hot sex

2 March 2023
    Updated the link for "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" by November Snowflake. I added links to the prequel and the coda. This work was previously offline, but is now alive and well at AO3. I just reread this excellent story.

50th Anniversary!
50th Anniversary!
    Fifty years ago, to the day, I sat down behind the console in the control room of a radio station, starting a twenty year career as a disc jockey. I played Top40, disco, country, easy listening, bluegrass and big band. I worked every shift there is to work, but my favorite was afternoon drive, 3pm - 7pm. I even worked every job there is to work at a radio station; music director, program director, station manager and even chief engineer. Radio today isn't what it was back then. *sigh* Hey, enjoy listening to your favorite station and may a disc jockey make you smile today.

    A new story by Rick Beck! "A Run to Aurora" A Joe Buck Trucker Extroidinaire Tale has been added to Rick's Home Page.
    An hour after I drove onto the super slab, my windshield wipers weren't keeping up with the rain. I strained to see ahead. I was on the verge of pulling off the highway. I'd lose way more time if I had an accident. The traffic was almost nonexistent but it only took one car to do something stupid that caused accidents.
    It was then I saw a lone figure walking along the side of the road. He was walking. Before long he'd be doing the backstroke. I was looking for a reason to pull over. This seemed like it.

Happy New Year from everyone at The Tarheel Writer!
Happy New Year from everyone at The Tarheel Writer! We're once again on our annual trek to the Florida Keys. While a lot of the country is experiencing some pretty nasty weather, it is clear and 80 degress here. Lots of new stories are in the works from myself and many other authors, so there is plenty to look forward to in the New Year. So goodbye 2022. We all look forward to the fresh new promises 2023 holds.

Winter solstice - the longest night of the year
    Today at 4:47PM will be that moment in time when the north pole reaches its maximum tilt from the sun. This will be either the shortest day of the year for you or the longest night of the year. It all depends on where you are on the planet. It also depends on whether your glass is half full or half empty. Or if you prefer to have sex during the day or in the darkness of night. Either way, happy winter solstice. Since it's the longest night of the year here at the writer's home, seems like a good excuse to have marathon sex by candlelight.

17 December 2022
    Just a reminder that the song we love to sing this time of year, "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer" is about bullying! "All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names." Bullying is bad. It drives people to commit suicide. Remember that when you hear the song.

16 December 2022
    Just in time for Christmas, a new story by Rick Beck! "A Christmas Demon" will pull at your heart strings. Check it out today!

    When Logan's fundamentalist Christan parents find him sucking his best friend's dick, they throw him out of the house. He turns to his best friend Alex and get's the door slammed in his face. Now Logan is facing a life on the streets.

    Lethe by Alysian_Fields has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.
    Two young men wake up in an abandoned alleyway with no memory of who they are or what they're doing there. As they attempt to discover their identities, they set off a chain of events that have repercussions far beyond their control.
    That's the author summary, but there is a whole lot more to the story.

14 October 2022
    Renovation of the Heart by Riyan_Blue has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.
    Inside the house, an almighty racket starts up. Draco can’t hear exactly what is being yelled, but someone is having a complete conniption fit. Draco’s eyes widen and he takes and unconscious step backwards before he gets a handle on his emotions again. He tugs his waistcoat straight and takes a deep breath.
    “Oh, shut up, you daft cow,” yells a voice near the door and Draco flinches in spite of himself. The other yelling peters out and Draco plasters a smile on his face as the door swings open. And then his heart stops. Honest to Merlin, it stops for a beat. Because the man behind the door is none other than Harry James Potter.
    “You’re the interior designer?” Potter leans forward, his eyebrows raised. Merlin, the man really wears his emotions on his face. The look of surprise is almost comical.
    “Yes,” Draco says.

    Draco Malfoy is an interior designer. Harry Potter is re-doing Grimmauld Place. And to make matters worse, a pandemic has just shut down the wizarding world, forcing Draco to quarantine in Grimmauld Place.

Matthew Shepard
    Matthew Shepard died on this date in 1998, 24 years ago. His parents have been relentless in educating the public and I applaud their efforts. You can visit the Matthew Shephard Foundation website by clicking on this link. The Matthew Shepard Foundation’s mission is to amplify the story of Matthew Shepard to inspire individuals, organizations, and communities to embrace the dignity and equality of all people.
    On October 7, 1998, Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming, was brutally attacked and tied to a fence in a field outside of Laramie, Wyoming and left to die. On October 12, Matt succumbed to his wounds in a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado.
    In the aftermath of Matt’s death, his parents, Judy and Dennis Shepard, started the Matthew Shepard Foundation to honor his life and aspirations. Inspired by the tragedy they endured, the initial purpose of the Foundation was to teach parents with children who may be questioning their sexuality to love and accept them for who they are, and to not throw them away.

2022 National Coming Out Day
    National Coming Out Day in the United States is 11 October 2022 and is celebrated each year to mark the anniversary of the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.

    Stuck with You by Maxine has been added to the Harry/Draco Oneshots page.Lots of stuttering, lots of fumbling, lots of fighting, lots of cussing. Lots of awkwardness, a decent amount of sex (once they manage to get to it), and very little room to do it all in!
    Draco the Cowardly Lion by Lomonaaren has been added to the Harry/Draco Oneshots page.When Draco gets Sorted into Gryffindor, everything changes. For the, uh, for the better?

22 September 2022
    Another Mask Behind You by lettered has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.
    Draco is a high-end prostitute who hides his identity. Harry unknowingly hires him. And then there is porn, questions about identity, domestic bliss, more porn, and truth as seen through a web of lies. (And then more porn. Seriously, if you don’t want sex scene after sex scene you probably shouldn’t read this. And please read the warnings.)

12 September 2022

    "A Hero All the Same" by kayladie has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Draco Malfoy has hit rock bottom. What can he possibly do to crawl out of the hole he's dug for himself? Maybe helping the Savior of the Wizarding World, who's in even worse condition than Draco is.

28 April 2022

    Pollen! Tree sperm! Time for a car wash! I love this picture, for obvious reasons, but take a look at the guy in the background. He is obviously oogling his friend's speedo clad butt. And it is a nice butt!

    "Palisades Park" 'I got You Babe' by Rick Beck has just been released! You start with a layer of hot fudge. On top of the fudge went a layer of vanilla ice cream. On top of the vanilla ice cream you added a level of chocolate ice cream. One more layer of vanilla goes on top of that and a rich level of hot fudge followed. Then you liberally applied the whipped cream and an obligatory cherry on top and you had a Mighty Mo sundae.
   This isn't a story about the Might Mo. It isn't even a story about high school. This story is about love. This story is about David. If there is great love, David was mine.

15 March 2022
    "The Printed Press" by Soupy_George has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Draco Malfoy was still slightly amazed that he was standing on the doorstep of Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. He never would have thought that Harry Potter's very public and very ... sweary, emotional explosion would have led to him offering Draco, of all people, a job.
    Another Soupy_George work was added to this list as well, The White Pawn on 21 February 2022.

27 February 2022
    "A Secondary Education" by Thunderbird has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Draco's wife gives birth to a baby that is not his. He divorces said wife and finds himself alone and stircrazy. On a whim, he takes on the Potions position at Hogwarts only to find that the DADA professor is Harry Potter ... and away we go.

The Tarheel Writer Celebrates 19 Years on the World Wide Web
    The Tarheel Writer celebrates our 19th year on the World Wide Web! We've seen a lot through the years. We've met a lot of people through those same years. Some remain friends today.

You make the time and effort to keep this site fresh, exciting, informative and enjoyable ... worth every minute!

21 February 2022
    "The White Pawn" by Soupy_George has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. When eighteen-year-old Draco Malfoy finds himself back at Hogwarts on the eve of Voldemort's infamous return, he is confronted with the most difficult decision he's ever had to make: Relive the 6th year at school he's tried so hard to forget, or do the unthinkable and ally himself with Potter's lot ...

18 February 2022
    "Away Childish Things" by lettered has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Harry gets de-aged. Malfoy has to help him. The last thing Harry remembered was talking to a snake. The snake had talked back—or sounded like it had—and then the glass had disappeared, and the snake had escaped. Dudley had blubbered like a baby, and Harry had got in trouble—or he thought he might have done, but that was when it started to get hazy, like grey swirls inside his own head. The next thing he knew he was holding a stick inside a pile of clothes.

13 February 2022
    Lockdown by Vorabiza (Biza) has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. Four Gryffindors and four Slytherins under a forced lockdown in the potions classroom for two days. It's a nice easy, sexy read including a very "slept around" Harry.

23 January 2022
    "Hitch" is a brand new story from Rick Beck. George knows he has a nose for news. He is sure he's on the way to the full-time reporters job. Once he gets noticed. He'll be on his way, as long as he isn't noticed too closely. George Hitchcock, Hitch to other reporters and his friends, is not what he appears to be. That's a story he won't be telling to City News readers.
    You may have noticed a lot of activity on the Rick Beck Page. I am reformatting and reposting all of his works. Be sure to visit his page over the next few weeks to see all the changes. It is an honor to be working with such a revered author. Thanks Rick!

    "The Mirror Series" by CorvetteClaire, has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page. This is a Three Part Series with over 350,000 words. Each part is heavy on graphic descriptions of torture, non-con rape and heavy angst. Tread wiwth care and enjoy the read. I did.
Part One - Sins of the Father
    An alternate version of Harry's Sixth Year at Hogwarts. Harry is intent on saving Draco from his father's machinations, but when Draco leaves Hogwarts, Harry can't protect him. And Voldemort has ways of forcing people to do his bidding.
Part Two - Sins of the Flesh
    As the dust of war settles, Harry and Draco are separated. Harry tries to build a life without battles, evil overlords or secret lovers. Draco struggles to survive in a world that believes (or wishes) he died with Voldemort. But Harry never stops hoping that he'll find his other half again and put their lives back together.
Part Three - The Wages of Sin
    The wages of sin may not always be death, but someone must pay. A grieving mother, a well-intentioned aunt, a series of mysterious attacks and a relentless scandal sheet put Harry and Draco at the eye of a storm.

9 January 2022

    "Harry Potter and the Odour of the Pheromones" by KatesBrain and Magicofisis, has been added to the Harry Potter Universe page. Harry is bribed to be a potion-tester for Fred and George, and finds that the side effects can be very advantageous. Even though Harry hopes to use the potion on his best friend, he can’t help but be a little distracted ...
    Distracted to say the least. This is an erotic story with our Harry having potion induced sex with sometime more than one person. Contains dubious consent, BDSM, comedy and very explicit sexual situations. Enjoy!

5 January 2022
    "A Family Like None Other" by by AspinInTheSunlight, has been updated to 72/? chapters As of 11 December 2021. This is Part Three of the "Like None Other Series" which was started 30 March 2013 and contains over 1.6 million words. Enjoy!

Harry’s 6th year at Hogwarts begins with Draco taking an opportunity to make life difficult for Harry. But no one appreciates just how effective it has been, having the unintended side-effect of prompting Harry to question his sexuality. Unable to confide in his friends, Harry begins to feel pushed aside as Ron and Hermione start dating and only seem to have eyes for each other. At the same time that Harry becomes more estranged from his friends, he notices that Draco’s behaviour has changed dramatically since the Christmas holiday. This piques Harry’s curiosity and prompts him to get involved in Draco’s life in an unanticipated way.

9 December 2021
""Men Who Love Dragons Too Much" by fencer_x, the revised version (published 2 May 2021) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. The original was on AO3 (16 September 2018) and has since been removed.
    [Extensive re-telling of Deathly Hallows] ‘Kill Albus Dumbledore’ is less a challenging task and more a suicide mission, so when Draco Malfoy is presented with the option to either dispatch his Headmaster or suffer an excruciating and most ignominious death of his own, along with his parents, he reaches deep into his black little Slytherin heart and manages to scrape together enough courage to go with option C instead: Spend Sixth Year secretly studying Animagecraft in the hopes he’ll turn into something sufficiently imposing even the Dark Lord himself won’t be able to keep Draco under his thumb. But just his luck, his Animagus form turns out to be a dragon, and a rather randy juvenile at that, intent on finding its mate: one Harry James Potter.
    Here's over a half million words of a mostly canon retelling of Dealthly Hallows. OMG, awesome story!

25 November 2021
Native American Heritage Day
    Today is Native American Heritage Day which reminds me of two stores written by Chris James, who was fascinated by the Native American people. "Nathaniel Smiley," and "A Warrior's Promise" and are both certainly worth the read today, or anyday for that matter.

18 November 2021
    "Veritas Vos Liberabit (And the Truth Shall Set You Free)" by Angela_Addams, has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page. After the war Draco Malfoy finds himself at the crossroads. He tries not to become a scapegoat for the overzealous DMLE, fulfill his duties as a Malfoy heir and struggles with his potion addiction.
    And all this mess is because of Harry Potter, who cannot just let things be as they are, who wants to help and ends up stirring a doxies nest of problems.
    Potter employs a legillimens, Elise Baelish, to help Draco win the trials. And, before you know it, their unofficial 8th year at Hogwarts turns into a dangerous game with rogue Death Eaters who still seek vengeance and the corruption within the Ministry of Magic.
    This is Part One of the Veritas Series (Truth Series). Gotta love the author's use of Latin in her titles.

3 November 2021
    "The Echoes of Yesterday" by Samayel, which is located on The Ultimate Harry/Draco page, just got read again. Still an awesome story.
    Harry Potter is approaching forty, teaching DADA at Hogwarts, and quietly mourning the death of his one love...Draco. Then Draco's son arrives at Hogwarts, laying waste to Harry's quiet and peaceful life.

15 October 2021
    "Crown Witness" by slytherco has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.
    After the war, wizarding society is oppressed by a new kind of plague—an organised crime group calling itself the Family.
    When Harry Potter goes to interrogate a potential witness, he doesn’t expect to end up on the run again, trying to keep Draco Malfoy alive, while a manhunt follows in their footsteps, adamant on eliminating the one witness that could ruin everything - one sexy blond - Draco Malfoy.
    In which Harry and Draco learn that the way to each other might just have to go through the dingiest hotels in Britain.

3 October 2021
    "The Lip-Lock Jinx" by Cassis Luna has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page. The Lip-Lock Jinx, a jinx that renders the victim mute that can only be undone in two ways: if the caster reverses the spell on the victim, or if the victim serves the purpose of the jinx and kisses the person that they desire. It's just Harry's luck that he gets jinxed by Ginny Weasley and that he's in love with Draco Malfoy.

15 September 2021
    "Anatomy of a Wolf Heart" by wendlaa has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.
Daily Prophet Headline: MALFOY HEIR FOUND ALIVE IN WEREWOLF FIGHTING RING
    Three years ago at the tragic Battle that freed our great Wizarding World from the grip of a megalomaniac Dark Wizard, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, our world lost many Witches and Wizards. Among the dead and missing was Draco Malfoy, the only son of notorious Death Eaters Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, both of whom volunteered their home for He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to use as a headquarters. Sources have confirmed that the young Malfoy took a vow to follow in his parents footsteps by taking the Dark Mark.
    Inside sources have uncovered that the Malfoy heir has been found alive. Aurors recently went undercover to expose a fighting ring involving illegal potions and unregistered werewolves. Among those rescued was Draco Malfoy.


30 August 2021
    "Partially Kissed Hero" by Perfect Lionheart has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.
    Summer before third year Harry has a life changing experience, and a close encounter with a dementor ends with him absorbing the horcrux within him. Features Harry with a backbone.
    There's the author's summary, but what follows is 103 chapters and almost a half million words of a well told tale. Enjoy.

30 August 2021
    "Wandless" by lyiint has been added to the Ultimate Hzarry/Draco page.
    This one was old, leather bound and extremely dusty. He sat back on his haunches and blew the dust off the cover so he could read the small lettering on it, causing himself to sneeze. He looked curiously at the name - "An Introductory to Fundamental Spell Battles?. He stood, forgetting the other textbook that was still lying under the bookshelf, and headed over to one of the large, plush chairs to peruse his find. He had never heard of spell battles before. "I wonder if this has anything to do with wizarding duels?
    As he scanned the pages his eyes began to get larger as realization hit him. This book dealt entirely with wandless magic. All the spells cast were done by the use of words and prose and a person?s innate magical ability. The first section dealt with how to bring that magical ability out so as to competently use it. The rest of the book focused on how to initiate a spell battle, how to do the different spells, how to word them and what hand signals to use. Draco was fascinated.

    For some reason, I show this work added on 4 February 2009. A lot of updating has gone on since then and it must have been left off in a transfer. Regardless, this work is no longer on line but I have a copy.
    My good friend, Marco from way over in Italy, pointed out that I am teasing people by posting stories that are no longer on line. LOL! Well, maybe I am, but that certainly is not the intention. There are a lot of people who search for older fics that have disappeared from the net. To be honest, the older fics were written when HP FanFiction was fairly new and were written with a lot of passion. But, like anything else, some were written really, really well, and some were so so. The ones that were done really well, I try to post here.

1 August 2021
    Jeff and I went to see "Joe Bell" the other day.
Joe Bell
Here's the authbiolgrphical plot:
    Jadin tells his dad that he is being bullied in school because he’s gay. Joe tells him that he should know how to defend himself and to let nature take its course and it will work itself out. His wife Lola disagrees and assures Jadin that they love him. Joe and Lola let Jadin join the cheer leading squad. But Joe is embarrassed about it and Jadin realizes it. Later, Joe tells Jadin that he loves him and would try to be better person.
    Jadin is grabbed and assaulted by a group of boys in the locker room. He and his parents meet with a school administrator, who advises Jadin to perhaps transfer schools or go to therapy. She counsels them not to file charges against the boys who did this. The boys continue to harass Jadin across social media. Lola (Jadkin's mom) finds Jadin’s suicide note as a jogger comes across Jadin’s body, having hung himself. Sad and distraught, Joe tells Lola he’s decided to walk across America to New York City. He says he wants to tell everyone about bullying and about what happened, and that he’s doing it for Jadin.
    I want to encourage you to go see this film. Yes, it deals with bullying and suicide. The story is powerful. It stars Mark Walburg as the dad, Joe and Reid Miller who plays his son, Jadin. Both gave remarkable, memorable performances.
    A lot of movies get hype, but sadly this type of movie does not. Go see it to show your support against bullying and enjoy the wonderful acting. Thanks!
Joe Bell

    I added a new page to the Jevic's Story Page. It's called "My Favorites." This page has my favorite scenes from my works. These are the scenes that left a lasting impact on me. The words didn't need to be thought out, they just flowed. Enjoy.

    "I Beg Your Pardon Potter" by Riyan_Blue has been moved from my Harry/Draco WIP Page to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List.
    “I beg your pardon, Potter?” It was lunchtime and Harry Potter had just asked Draco Malfoy out on a date.
    “I asked you out, Malfoy.” It had been a dare from Seamus.
    “I think I will go with,” Draco paused, squinting at Harry, incredulous at even being asked. “No.”
    LMAO! Good humor and an actually intriguing plot. Enjoy!

    The link for Minoe5's "Harry Potter and the Council of Elves" has been changed from FanFiction.net to WattPad. There are only 6 chapters reposted on FanFiction, but WattPad has the entire work. My gracious thanks to Terry for the update. With over 700 recommendations on this site, sometimes it's good to know someone has your back. Thanks again Terry!

15 July 2022
    "A Family Like None Other" by aspeninthesunlight has been Updated to the HP Universe Page. These stories are not "gay-centric" but the writing was too good to pass up.
    This story begins shortly before Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts and assumes he has lived through the experiences of canon years 1-5. Instead of Half-Blood Prince, he then lived through the events of "A Year Like None Other" and "A Summer Like No Other. Nothing from canon books 6 and 7 is necessarily true in this universe, though some elements from those books may be utilized. Major differences from canon: Snape in this story --is-- a pureblood; Vernon and Petunia Dursley have both died; and most notably, Snape has adopted both Harry and Draco. Minor differences include a wealth of details such as the fact that Draco's birthday falls on a different date. For more information, read the preceding stories.

27 June 2021
    Tons of "behind the scenes" stuff going on: Backing up all my recommendations, adding pictures where I can, updating links, updatng my extensive spreadsheet on this site, sending out copies of requested stories and having wild monkey sex with Jeff, It was a full moon this week, gimme a break! :D
Yes! Summer!
    Ya just gotta love summer! I've got tons of pics of summer, but this one seemed to stand out ;)

27 June 2021
    The link to "Come-Hither" by 77dmk77 has been updated thanks for Purple Starlight who emailed me to let me know. I had 77dmk77 linked at AO3 as a Hexfile.com archive. The author is now knowm as ATemporarilyLostPhyz (77dmk77). Thank you so much Purple Starlight! But wait! There's more! "Come-Hither" has a SEQUEL that I did not know about. "Come Here" has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. The gang ends up at Draco's villa. Adventures and explorations ensue, but amidst these and the hormones that thunder, it is ultimately a battle against time and Voldemort himself. Seventeen chapers and almost 180K words follow the original thirty-seven chapters and 276K+ words. Once again, thank you to Purple Starlight!

    "We Open at the Close" by Keep_Calm_And_Expecto_Patronum has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. In the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco and Harry are both struggling to come to terms with the events of 'Deathly Hallows' and find their place in the new world. When they are unexpectedly thrown back into each other's lives, things go as well as you might expect. But Harry, like Dumbledore, believes in giving people second chances. He believes that everybody has a chance at redemption – including repentant Death Eaters.
    If you remember, "we open at the close" was the clue Dumbledore left Harry in his will with the Golden Snitch. Harry kisses it on the way for his final meeting with Voldemort. It opens and has in it the Ressurection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows. Of course the other two were the invisibility cloak and the Elder Wand or the "death stick."

26 June 2021
    "The Pure-blood Enigma" by Phoenixstrike has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. A drunken bet with Blaise means Draco now has a very difficult task ahead of him.

And does Harry return his feelings? Canon-compliant for all seven books/EWE. Written for the 2013 bottom!draco fest. Adapted from Pygmalion, by George Bernard Shaw.
    Phoenixstrike has written many works in the Harry Potter Fandom and many are found here on this site.

    "Draco Malfoy and the Truth of the Heart," Part Seven of the "Do It All Over Again Series" by DracoWillHearAboutThis has been completed. The story resides on the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. Dumbledore, throughout his long, colourful life, had made a lot of dubious decisions, but the choice to send four emotionally constipated teenagers on a Horcrux hunt across the country to save the Wizarding World might have easily taken the cake. Or: The Camping Trip From Hell, and everything that followed after.

14 June 2021

He’s good at it, and part of why is that he can read people. Not minds, not Legilimens, but their whole self, and he can give them what they don’t even know they want. Enter Draco fucking Malfoy, enigma to everyone, including himself. Harry can’t help but want to break into him, to figure him out. And Draco, thinking he’ll fuck Potter on a lark, has no idea what he’s in for.
    And I mean no idea. Hey, you guys are gonna enjoy this story, but be warned - this one drips in sex. Enjoy!

    Thanks again to Marco for this suggestion!

6 June 2021
    "Taming Draco Malfoy" by Becstar7 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. It's nearing the end of their sixth year at Hogwarts, and Pansy Parkinson is determined to change her best friend’s fate. When she not-so-accidentally overhears a shocking revelation regarding one Harry Potter, she devises a cunning plan to convince Draco to defect. Unfortunately, where Potter is concerned, nothing ever really goes to plan...
    From the author - Inspired by 10 Things I Hate About You, the brilliant movie adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. This story took me almost a decade to write, and fair warning – it’s an epic! So if you like long, plotty stories with a bit of world-building, a bit of character development and a whole lot of hot gay sex, then this is the one for you! Enjoy! :)
    Thanks again to Marco for this suggestion!

June 2021 is Pride Month
    Happy Pride Month! Here is an edited version of the Presidential Proclaimation:
    The uprising at the Stonewall Inn in June, 1969, sparked a liberation movement — a call to action that continues to inspire us to live up to our Nation’s promise of equality, liberty, and justice for all. Pride is a time to recall the trials the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) community has endured and to rejoice in the triumphs of trailblazing individuals who have bravely fought — and continue to fight — for full equality. Pride is both a jubilant communal celebration of visibility and a personal celebration of self-worth and dignity. This Pride Month, we recognize the valuable contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals across America, and we reaffirm our commitment to standing in solidarity with LGBTQ+ Americans in their ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice.
    The LGBTQ+ community in America has achieved remarkable progress since Stonewall. Historic Supreme Court rulings in recent years have struck down regressive laws, affirmed the right to marriage equality, and secured workplace protections for LGBTQ+ individuals in every State and Territory. The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act broadened the definition of hate crimes to include crimes motivated by sexual orientation or gender identity. Members of the LGBTQ+ community now serve in nearly every level of public office — in city halls and State capitals, Governors’ mansions and the halls of the Congress, and throughout my Administration. Nearly 14 percent of my 1,500 agency appointees identify as LGBTQ+, and I am particularly honored by the service of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, the first openly LGBTQ+ person to serve in the Cabinet, and Assistant Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, the first openly transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate.
    NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2021 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to recognize the achievements of the LGBTQ+ community, to celebrate the great diversity of the American people, and to wave their flags of pride high.

31 May 2021
Happy Memorial Day!
    For those of us in the USA, Happy Memorial Day! It is a day for honouring the men and women who have died while on duty with the US military and it is a day where Americans across the country pay their respects. It originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official American holiday in 1971.

    "Lethe" by Alysian_Fields (archived by TheHexFiles_archivist) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Two young men (Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy) wake up in an abandoned alleyway with no memory of who they are or what they're doing there. As they attempt to discover their identities, they set off a chain of events that have repercussions far beyond their control. "Someone once told me that if you really love someone, you'll do whatever it takes to make them happy. Even if it means letting them go."

    "The Nexus Trilogy" by David Clark has been added to the Suggested Reading Fiction Complete Page.
The Nexus Trilogy by David Clark
    Author's Summary - This Trilogy is about an ordinary kid with an ordinary life who goes on an ordinary school trip to France - at least, the town he goes to starts out in France ...
    I'd have zipped on by that one just based on the summary, but I have a marketing background, so let me "entice" you to read this "gem." Kid goes to France, kid visits castle, kid gets lost, kid finds room with lots of doors that lead to different "worlds" and away we go on an adventure that has a Nazi and a Jew as boyfriends ... gotcha! Now that's the way to summerize a story! Yeah, it's a really awesome (originally 'good' but it got an upgrade).
    I have to take a moment to thank Marco from Italy for recommending this story and quite a few others. You've got a great eye for great stories mio amico! Grazie, grazie! Accolgo con favore i tuoi suggerimenti in qualsiasi momento!

11 May 2021
    "The More Things Change..." by Gee_Whillickers has been added to the Suggested Reading Fiction Complete Page.
    Suicide wasn't anything at all like I had expected. I had figured that, most likely, it would be like nothing. Literally nothing. Just the end. No awareness, no memory, no lingering energy or consciousness or soul of any kind.
    Mostly though, I just expected to be dead.
    What I didn't expect was an utter lack of anything worthwhile to watch on TV.

    Suicide is not to be taken lightly and this story does not do that. Read along and discover what really happened to Jeffrey.
    My sincere thanks to Marco for the recommendation!

10 May 2021
    "The Wish" by gee_whillickers has been added to the Suggested Reading Fiction Complete Page. Craig shook his head and forced the depression that was starting to creep up on him away. No, he had to keep hopeful. He had always been a smart kid. He knew about Occam's Razor. He knew about probability. Out of six billion people the chances that five billion and change could vanish one night without a trace leaving Craig Jamison and only Craig Jamison sleeping in his bedroom while wearing one dirty sock were remote. Ridiculously remote. Despite no evidence to the contrary in eight months.

5 May 2021
    "A Sword Laid Aside" by korlaena has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. When Draco’s cover is blown during a deep undercover operation and the Ministry is compromised, Ron takes Draco to the only safe place he can think of—Potter. Hiding out with a taciturn Harry Potter, who has been missing from the Wizarding World for almost two decades after a shocking fall from grace, is nothing like Draco thought it would be. Draco has to navigate dealing with this Potter while being hunted by Dark wizards and wanted by extremists in the Ministry. When things take a turn for the worse, Draco has to decide whether he's going to keep running or find a way to protect the world and the people he cares about most.

5 May 2021
    "The Do Over Series" by dkstories (Dan Kirk) has been updated on the Suggested Reading Complete page. Never, ever, ever trust a mad scientist. Anyone who has read science fiction stories or watched a few episodes of Outer Limits or Twilight Zone knows not to trust mad scientists doing illegal research.
    Part One - "Do Over" - complete
    Part Two - "Do Over Redux" - complete
    Part Three - "Doing It Right" - being reposted
    Part Four - "Let's Do It" - probably will be reposted

    "Goon" by dkstories (Dan Kirk) has been added the the Suggested-Complete page. Micah was a goon. At least, that’s what a lot of people like him were called. All he did, most of the time, was stand in front of the doorways and make sure only people with those pretty little badges went inside. Most people looked at his smooth face, buff body and completely ignored him, but his eyes looked at their face, scanned their badge to make sure the security clearance was appropriate and the picture matched the person wearing the badge and mentally kept a running log of who went in and out. But he had connections and it put him in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    "The Beard" by dkstories (Dan Kirk) has been added the the Suggested-Complete page. It's not uncommon for a gay man to use a woman as a 'beard', to appear straight. What happens though when Dale is asked to be a different kind of beard?

    A HUGE thanks to Marco from Italy!

5 May 2021
Cinco de Mayo!
    It's Cinco de Mayo! Not to be mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day, Cinco De Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on 5 May 1862. Since it is believed the French would have likely aided the Confederacy at the Civil War, Mexico’s resistance likely changed the history of the United States.
    In the US this celebration has evolved as a celebration to Mexican-American culture! So go have a taco and down a tequila shot or three, preferrably Patron! My personal favorite!

2 May - International Harry Potter Day
2 May - International Harry Potter Day

    In JK Rowling's last Harry Potter Book, Deathly Hallows, Harry defeats Voldemort on May 2nd, 1998. Wow! 23 years ago. It is fitting that 2 May is officially International Harry Potter Day according to MuggleNet.com.
    Here is the official statement that has been released by Prime Minister David Cameron:
    “There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Ms. Rowling’s work has had a huge and undeniable impact on the literary world as we know it. In order to fully commemorate and immortalize her work, we have to decided to officially declare May 2nd as an official international holiday, in honor of the date that protagonist Harry Potter conquered the main antagonist of the series, Lord Voldemort. We hope that children and adults alike will be reminded of Harry Potter’s strong and courageous character on this day, as well as of the true credit that Ms. Rowling has made to society.”
    So boys and girls, put on your oval glasses, put the lightning bolt on your forehead (don't use permanent marker, LOL) and celebrate International Harry Potter Day!

    "Security" by bixgirl1 has been added to the Suggested Harry/Draco One Shot List. A few years after the War, Harry is running a Wizarding Securities company, and Draco finds himself in need of some additional safety. It seems almost inevitable now that Malfoy was destined to be part of his life. (It's now to figure out what way that will be.)

26 April 2021
    "Souls Lost and Found" by Romaine has been added to the Suggested Harry/Draco One Shot List. Students at Hogwarts are being drained of their magic, Luna hears a distinctive voice beyond the curtain, and Draco's seeing things on a wall. They all add up to a mystery that takes Harry and Draco to a familiar island.

23 April 2021
GLSEN Day of Silence 2021
    Every April 23rd is the GLSEN Day of Silence, a national student-led demonstration where LGBTQ students and allies all around the country—and the world—take a vow of silence to protest the harmful effects of harassment and discrimination of LGBTQ people in schools.

    Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by EarthDay.org including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries.

22 April 2021
    "100,000 Galleons" by bixgirl1 has been added to the Suggested Harry/Draco One Shot List. When a weekend with Harry gets purchased at a Bachelor charity auction by Malfoy, he's sure the trip is going to be filled with disaster. And it is. It really is. Just... maybe not in the ways he thought.
    This work is posted as 2 chapters; however, the link is to the entire work (both chapters combined) due to the amount of words. I found it to be funny as hell. You'll enjoy it!

20 April 2021
    "Strange Bathfellows" by bixgirl1 has been added to the Suggested Harry/Draco One Shot List. It started with a bath. Or a potions accident. Or maybe it started before that, but who can tell anymore. Featuring: Uncomfortable wanking, more comfortable wanking, mutual wanking, bath sharing, inappropriate betting, secret shagging, those secrets at Hogwarts that everyone knows, and oblivious Harry who knows one thing - he's falling in love.

17 April 2021
    You will have to forgive me. Sometimes I put things here (updates) that need to be somewhere else. If I know my site visitors, which I might add, I think I do, you're here to find something to read so you can escape from all the shit we have to live with. So I will keep my personal comments and rants (and I do tend to scream from the soapbox from time to time) for my Bricks and Musings page. Thank you.

15 April 2021
    "I Beg Your Pardon Potter" by Riyan_Blue has been updated as of 23 March 2021 with 62/? chapters posted. This work is on the Works In Progress Page.
    “I beg your pardon, Potter?” It was lunchtime and Harry Potter had just asked Draco Malfoy out on a date.
    “I asked you out, Malfoy.” It had been a dare from Seamus.
    “I think I will go with,” Draco paused, squinting at Harry, incredulous at even being asked. “No.”

Titanic
    10 April 1912 the RMS Titanic leaves on her maiden voyage from Southampton. The "unsinkable" ship strikes an iceberg at 11:40PM on 14 April 1912 and slips below the surface of the North Atlantic with 1,514 souls on board at 2:20AM 15 April 1912.

Titanic at rest
    109 years later, almost to the day, the great ship lies two and a half miles below the waves of the North Atlantic and still piques our interest today. May those who went down with Her rest in peace.
    I explain my obsession with Titanic on my Bricks and Musings - Titanic page.

    Thought I would share a little snippet from my Bricks and Musings page from 2010.
    Wednesday, 23 June 2010, 12:54AM, clear and 76 degrees
    The neighbor's cat is sitting on top of my house! The little fukker is sitting at the peak over the eve where the bats live. He's watching them come and go as they eat every mosquito within a 5 mile range. That's the only thing I can figure out he's doing. There is a lot of bat activity, so I guess he just sitting there watching them. At first I thought it was an owl. After quickly grabbing my flashlight, I found out it was the neighbor's cat. He must be having a fantastic time. Either that or he is really frustrated because he can't get at those little fast flying fukkers.
    There's always a lot of personal comments on my Bricks and Musings page. Check it out!

11 April 2021
    "That Old Black Magic" by bixgirl1 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm — ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war... with Draco Malfoy.

10 April 2021
    "Memory Lane" by mortenavida has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Draco Malfoy has been happily living in the Muggle world for nearly a decade, far away from any Wizarding responsibilities they might try to enforce on him. He planned on leaving that world forever, save for making sure his son received a proper education, but things didn’t exactly go to plan. On his doorstep, one night, Harry Potter showed up. Except Harry Potter was supposed to be dead for the last seven years.

8 April 2021
Day of Remembrance
    What is the Days of Remembrance? The US Congress established Days of Remembrance as the nation’s annual commemoration of the Holocaust, the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its allies and collaborators.
    One of my good friends and neighbor growing up was Jewish. She was sweet, smart and a good loyal friend. I did not understand Jewish traditions and religious protocols until her father died. I went to visit and offer my condolences ... he was a really cool man ... and left with a more clear understanding of the Jewish Faith.

Happy Easter from everybody at The Tarheel Writer

3 April 2021
    "Cruel River" by eleventy7 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Draco inherits a castle deep in the Scottish highlands, and discovers it’s haunted by more than just ghosts.
    Lucius Malfoy was found dead on a bright, cold June morning. The sky was a pale and cloudless blue, but the air still had bite; summer never truly came to the distant ends of the Scottish highlands. Agsworth Castle looked pretty as a postcard upon the meadows of Caithness, and the lawns were green and lush with spring rain. It was the groundskeeper — arriving early to discuss plans for a hedge maze — who found the body. He refused to speak of it, however, and would not give the smallest detail to anyone, not even his friends. He died by the river in his nightclothes.
    First of all, this is a non-magic story. Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Molly, Neville and more are here, but in different roles. It's kinda like a who-dun-it, but more like, let's go back in time and fix a mistake the ghosts want fixing. Graphic descriptions of violence, corpses, strangulation, drowning, hanging and more, so it is not for the faint of heart.

30 March 2021
    I received an email from JStevens (Jackie Stevens) today. She is the author of "White Horses" and "Black Sheep" both of which are Classic reads on the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. To say I was shocked, pleased, then elated to hear from her is an understatement! JStevens is reworking her first ever fic, "White Horses" and is posting chapters as they are completed. "Black Sheep" is posted in its entirity. Jackie had originally posted her works on FictionAlley, which has gone dark. Now the works are available at Archive of Our Own or simply AO3.
    I added "White Horses" way back in 2005. To hear from the author now just *shakes my head in disbelief feeling very humbled*
    It is days like today that puts the icing on the cake. I enjoy every minute of working on Tarheel Writer, but like any author, I do enjoy the feedback.

30 March 2021
    "The Strange & Marvelous Story of Our Revival" by saltwatergarden has been added to the Ultimate Hatrry/Draco List. This is the sequel to "The Wand That Chose Two Wizards." This is a work in progress, but recently updated 25 March 2021./
    Five years after leaving Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy has found his place in Wizarding society, as a young and promising wandmaker at the famous Ollivander's. He has a job that interests him, friends he likes, a comfortable home, and a routine that he sticks to. However, when he loses someone close to him, and faces from his past begin resurfacing, he realises that the balance he has carefully constructed in his life isn't as stable as he thought.
    Harry Potter isn't quite sure what to do with himself. After throwing himself headfirst into everything he's ever done, he's dealing with a hell of a headache and confusion over where to go from here. His friends are busy, his work is relaxed, and no one seems to want anything from him anymore. Instead of feeling relieved, however, he feels adrift. With nothing to occupy him, his mind starts to wander, and he begins thinking more about the past, specifically people from his past...and conversations left unfinished.

29 March 2021
    "Just Charlie" has been added to the Suggested Viewing Page. Harry Gilby plays Charlie Lyndsay, a teenager who is a superior football (soccer) player at his school. He's so skilled that he's already being recruited by a major football team. Life is good, but it isn't. Charlie realizes that she is really a girl trapped in a boy's body. She's not gay, but rather has what is now called gender dsyphoria. This would be hard enough without football, but it's worse for Charlie because she really wants to play football, although she wants to play on the women's team.

28 March 2021
    "Last City" by zeitgeistic has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Twenty-four Twenty-three men, six cities, and one unusual sexual requirement. Harry on a wizarding version of The Bachelor with Draco as one of the contestants. And guess who the host is ... dramatic pause ... Luna!

Stop AAPI Hate
    WTF is wrong with people?!? Hate against Asians, Blacks, Mexicans, Canadians, Native Americans? WTF? The USA is called the "Melting Pot." Know what that is? The melting pot comes from the idea that all of the cultural differences in the United States meld together, as if they were metals being melted down to become a stronger alloy. Face it citizens of the USA, we're all immigrants, except for our Native Americans. They are the only true full-blooded residents of this land we call American.

18 March 2021
    Just read "The Shape of the World" by bixgirl1 again after adding it to my Ultimate Harry/Draco list back in January of 2017. That's over a half dozen works I've suggested that are penned by bixgirl1. Awesome story. Just awesome!

St. Patrick's Day! Happy St. Patricks Day!
    Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick, is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. 385 – c. 461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
    Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, céilís, and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks. Christians who belong to liturgical denominations also attend church services and historically the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol were lifted for the day, which has encouraged and propagated the holiday's tradition of alcohol consumption.
    For more information on Saint Patrick's Day you can click in this link to Wikipedia.com. Cheers Mate! Have a nice pint on me!

    "The Wizarding World is Not Enough" by Riyan_Blue has been updated now with 36/? chapters posted with 176,500 words so far. Ten years after the Second Wizarding War, a 28 year old Draco Malfoy is working at Flourish & Blotts. He lives with his roommate, Greg Goyle, across the street from his new best friend, Hannah Abbott. It is not the life he had envisioned when he was at Hogwarts, but it pays the bills.
    His life is thrown into disarray after his ex-boyfriend, an Unspeakable, sends him an important package which results in the wizarding world's secrets becoming embedded in his mind. He soon wishes he could go back to the days when all he had to worry about was whether or not he would ever get the assistant manager position. Because now his days are filled with Unspeakable missions with his handlers, Harry Potter and Pansy Parkinson, and his cover story is that Potter is his boyfriend. And sometimes it feels like that cover is turning into something more.

Twiggy Mohat
    Happy what would have been your 21st birthday Twiggy!
    Eric, whose friends knew him as "Twiggy" for his lean, 6-foot-1-inch, 112-pound physique -- had a dry wit and musical talent, according to his mother, Jan Mohat. He had played piano for 13 years, enjoyed video games, anime, Harry Potter books and "cracking puzzles." But March 29, 2007, one bully pushed Eric Mohat too far with a remark about killing himself. The teen took a legally registered gun from his father's bureau drawer, locked himself in his room and shot himself in the head.
    I invite you to visit either my "In Memorium" Page or my "Suicide" page for more information.

The Auror Department and the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures are working to create a new division partnering human wizards and Magical Beings in order to more effectively police crime involving any and all classifications of Magical Creature. Auror Harry Potter jumps at the chance to join the pilot programme, but he starts to regret his rashness when he discovers who he's to be partnered with: Veela Draco Malfoy.

    Just got an email from Brian at OutsideHow.com with a comment from a Bricks and Musings entry from back in 2003 about hiking The Appalachian Trail. I hiked a third of the trail back in 1993. For those of you with a good memory, that was the year of the Storm of the Century. I found myself on top of Trey Mountain in Georgia, just a week or so into my hike. It snowed three feet!

    "Angels and Devils" by beren has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Harry defeated Voldemort and his act of heroism is famous throughout the wizarding world. He's trying to finish his final year at Hogwarts in peace, but, thanks to the method he chose to destroy The Dark Lord, something peculiar is happening to him, something he never would have expected. It's all rather embarrassing and making his life very complicated.
    Author Note - This fic has Veela!Draco and lots of other things that appear to have become fandom clichés, which was part of the point in writing it :). I've had great fun with this fic, trying to explore ideas in a slightly different way than I have seen before. It may have Veela!Draco, but it is all from Harry POV in case you were wondering.

5 March 2021
    "Here But For the Grace of Merlin" by Makoto Sagara (Makoto_Sagara) has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. The final battle left those with the Mark stained more than skin-deep, and the war has left its own mark on the others at the Battle of Hogwarts. However, when Harry's distancing from his friends leads to a nearly fatal accident, Draco has a chance to fulfill a lift-debt he owes to the Boy Who Lived, but he's only doing it because Narcissa is insisting.

4 March 2021
    "Dragon Blood" by Loisceles has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. The wizarding world has a secret that Draco Malfoy carries without him knowing it. There are some things that for some wizards held more importance than even the eventual defeat of Voldemort. This is an interesting story about dragons. I get the impression that the author's first language is not English. Just overlook that and you will enjoy the story.

24 February 2021
    "Temporary Mate" by Lomonaaeren has been added to The Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Escorting Malfoy on a dangerous mission in another dimension to speak to French Veela, Harry and his fellow Aurors are attacked and left for dead. Harry and Malfoy are the only survivors, and wounds the attackers inflicted have released Malfoy’s Veela heritage. Now he’s probably going to die unless Harry can successfully bind himself to Malfoy as a temporary mate—and they still have to survive the trek to reach the Veela stronghold.
    Lomonaaeren has written literally hundreds of Harry/Draco stories and dozens of them are recommended by The Tarheel Writer.

17 February 2021
    "The Watchers" and "The Nineteenth Year" by Jevic, The Tarheel Writer, have been completed reformatted and optimized for easy reading on mobile devices. Please enjoy!

15 February 2021
    "Sex Magic" by velvetblood-fic, leo_draconis and ki_rivers has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page. I have been following the progress of this story since before 2005 and it is finally finished. It took three authors to do it! A new course has made its way into the Hogwarts' curriculum and Harry finds himself partnered with none other than a very reluctant Draco Malfoy. The course comes complete with private rooms in which you are required to address the practical side of the course. LOL!
    Wow, I sure liked this story. Sure there's lots of steamy, well written sex, but the characters are spot on with plenty of plot twists and turns. I know you will enjoy it!

Ten years after the Second Wizarding War, a 28 year old Draco Malfoy is working at Flourish & Blotts.

Groundhog Day!
    In the US, this Tuesday, 2 February 2021 is Groundhog Day. In honor of that I have two stories I would like to recommend -
"Groundhog Day," by Sprout 2012
and
"Tea and No Sympathy" by who-la-hoop.
    Both stories are just like the film starring Bill Murray. Read and enjoy!

28 January 2021
    "Just Not Cut Out for Torture" by shilo1364 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. The summer before 7th year, a restless Harry Potter is captured and taken to Malfoy Manor. Together, he and Draco Malfoy escape to Grimmauld place, where they are instructed to stay put while the Order takes care of more urgent business. Left out of the Horcrux hunt, they hatch their own plans to defeat Voldemort. Kreacher and the sentient Black House play a pivotal role, joined by a reluctant Snape and all the usual suspects. With the help of their friends, Harry and Draco learn to tolerate one another, defeat Voldemort, and even death itself. In this alternate Battle of Hogwarts, pranks and scheming carry the day.

SITE UPDATE NOTE: You may have noticed that I am in the process of reformatting many pages on this site to make it more "mobile friendly." I assure you this is a WIP and I will be making these changes as quickly as I can. Thanks, and enjoy!

26 January 2021
    "The Wizarding World is Not Enough" by Riyan_Blue has been added to the Harry/Draco WIP Page. 35 Chapters and 170,828 words posted so far and last updated 9 December 2020.
     Ten years after the Second Wizarding War, a 28 year old Draco Malfoy is working at Flourish & Blotts. He lives with his roommate, Greg Goyle, across the street from his new best friend, Hannah Abbott. It is not the life he had envisioned when he was at Hogwarts, but it pays the bills.
     His life is thrown into disarray after his ex-boyfriend, an Unspeakable, sends him an important package which results in the wizarding world's secrets becoming embedded in his mind. He soon wishes he could go back to the days when all he had to worry about was whether or not he would ever get the assistant manager position. Because now his days are filled with Unspeakable missions with his handlers, Harry Potter and Pansy Parkinson, and his cover story is that Potter is his boyfriend. And sometimes it feels like that cover is turning into something more.

25 January 2021
    "I Beg Your Pardon Potter" by Riyan_Blue resides on the Harry/Draco WIP Page and has been updated as of 8 January 2021. I am keeping a close watch on this one as it is very good.
     “I beg your pardon, Potter?” It was lunchtime and Harry Potter had just asked Draco Malfoy out on a date.
     “I asked you out, Malfoy.” It had been a dare from Seamus.
     “I think I will go with,” Draco paused, squinting at Harry, incredulous at even being asked. “No.”

21 January 2021
    "A Brother to Basilisks" by Lomonaaeren has been added the the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. This is a canon-divergent AU that starts after Chapter 7 of Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry wakes in the night to a voice calling him from somewhere in the castle—and when he follows it, everything changes. The title is based on a quote from the Book of Job: “I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.”

19 January 2021
    "Changing with the Season" by harryromper has been added the the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. Harry's determined the first time he hosts the extended Weasley clan for Christmas will be a success. The Grimmauld Place advent calendar has other ideas ... until Draco shows up to help. It's a 25 Days of Draco and Harry story with each chapter written by a previously unknown prompt. The author did a marvelous job.
    This is the second work by harryromper I have recommended in the last few days. Enjoy!

17 January 2021
    "Haunt the Corner of My Eye" by harryromper has been added the the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. Harry’s life is very much on track. After a successful career as an Auror, he’s set to become the youngest ever Minister for Magic. But strange things are starting to happen at Grimmauld Place. Items he doesn’t recognise are appearing left and right, and somehow he never feels quite alone. There’s only one thing Harry knows for sure - it has something to do with Draco Malfoy.

16 January 2021
    Three works added for suggested reading today!

    "12-Step" by Mystwriter has been added it to the Harry/Draco FanFics One Shot Page. Draco gets help for a dark problem by apologizing to all he has wronged. Is Harry Potter more than willing to forgive him?
    Mystwriter was a profilic author some odd fifteen years ago. I have been unable to find any of the author's works online. Somehow, along the line, I was able to save copies.

    "Three Steps to Paradise" by beren has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. Harry didn't do what everyone expected of him and he became a professional Quidditch player, however, he still has a huge hero streak. When he does something reckless to save Draco Malfoy from a potentially fatal fall in a match it changes more than just Draco's attitude towards him.

    "Whatever May Come" by charlotteschaos has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. The trio discovers that Draco Malfoy is hidden away at Spinner's End and Harry recruits him to be a member of the Horcrux hunt team. Warnings for crossdressing kink :)

14 January 2021
    I found a new link for "All the Proud Should Be" by LadyCat777 and I have added it to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. For a very long time, this work was just archived by me, but now the link had been found.
    After the events at the end of Order of the Phoenix, Harry takes stock and does some thinking. When he returns to Hogwarts for his sixth year, he finds that someone else has had a similar redefinition.

10 January 2021
    "New Beginnings" by kcstories has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots page. A few years after Hogwarts, Harry starts afresh at a new college. Things seem very promising until he meets his roommate.

9 January 2021
    "unbreakableBOND" by NariNari (archived by the HPFandom archivist) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.
     Ten minutes before his seventeeth birthday, Harry is whisked away from the Dursleys to Number 12 Grimmuald Place where Dumbledore trys to explain why Draco Malfoy is there, but run sout of time. Pain explodes inside Harry at strike of midnight on his birthday. The next moring he finds out he is to be bonded by Draco due to a spell that was cast by their great, great, great grandfathers. (Yes, Draco, I know there are a few more greats that need to go in there, LOL) Read and enjoy!
     This is an action/adventure/mpreg story.

7 January 2021
    "Never a Memory" by Dotowe (archived by the HPFandom archivist) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.
     Draco Malfoy loses his memory after the battle that destroyed the Dark Lord for good and Harry Potter finds himself protecting the Malfoy heir from renegade Death Eaters who would see him dead for his actions against Voldemort. Then, their world spirals out of control when an unforeseen Prophecy begins the countdown for the End of Days.
     Oh wow, where do I begin with this one with so many twists and turns. I will not give away the plot, but Draco kills Voldemort and ends up with the curse scar and away we go. You will enjoy this story.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!
     Happy New Year 2021. Good Lord I hope you are better than 2020!

30 December 2020
    "Practicing Liars" by Lomonaaeren has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.
     AU of HBP. Harry found out that he was Snape's son two years ago, and he's carefully concealed it. But now Snape is his Defense teacher, and Draco Malfoy is up to something, and Dumbledore is dying, and the final battle is coming up, and everything is getting very, very complicated. Warnings for violence, heavy angst, and no sex in-story.
    While I am not a big fan of Snape, this is written by Lomonaaeren. With 600 works complete, this is one author that continues to amaze me. Simply awesome.

20 December 2020
    "Harry Potter and the Welcome to the World of Grey" by sobsicles has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.
     When Harry fails to keep his anger at bay and Voldemort possesses his mind, the events that follow lead him down a long road to realizing the world isn't as black and white as it seems.
     Chaos, hilarity, and tragedy ensue with a Dark Lord being honest all the time, a rival becoming something else, and a world demanding to be saved. Featuring frightened Death Eaters, deep conversations with a monster, Pureblood traditions being ridiculous, and the fight to do the right thing with no true options.
     Harry's life just gets more and more bizarre with each passing moment.
     Note from the author: So, life has been pretty terrible for me recently, and I decided to revisit my very first OTP for some comfort. Drarry was my first introduction to fandom life many years ago, and it's basically responsible for sucking me into this life of writing fic.
     With the way life was going, I just really wanted to write a fic where Harry got to give into his anger--starting with Bellatrix--and it wasn't supposed to become a serious thing, but it somehow grew out of control anyway. The next thing I knew, I had plot and deep dives into characters and a lot of words. Just a heads up, this one gets long.


19 December 2020
    "Hey There Draco" by Ruby13b has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Set in the summer after fifth year. Draco and Harry are thrown together by chance and what starts off as morbid curiosity transforms into an adventure that neither of them will ever forget.

18 December 2020
    "Like the Call of the Prophets" by bangyababy and cylsus has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page. After the final battle, Harry breaks the Elder Wand and a curse is placed upon him. The curse remains dormant until years later when Harry accidentally touches an Elder Tree. Harry has been slowly changing into something out of a nightmare, and the shadow that has been stalking him is growing impatient. Harry's running out of time, and the only person left that can help him is Curse Breaker Draco Malfoy.

12 December 2020
    "Over the Edge" has been added to the suggested viewing page. It is not a gay movie, but it is one of my favorites and it is Matt Dillon's first ever film. Teen rebellion at its best!

1 December 2020
World AIDS Day

    Today is World AIDS Day. To all the friends I have lost to AIDS, my thoughts and fond memories keep you alive in my heart. What a horrific time it was when AIDS first attacked us. I remember getting a letter from my friend Bob in San Francisco telling me about AIDS and that he had it. God, I was so scared!

23 November 2020
    "Mental" by sara_holmes was added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco page almost 10 years ago. I just finished reading it again today. It is a classic story that remains one of my favorites. A miscast Legilimency spell by Neville Longbottom links Harry and Draco mentally.

     An additional note about COVID-19 - please for God's sake (your sake, your companion's sake, your family's sake, everyone you care about's sake and for the health of our planet), wear a fuckin' mask! Thank you. That is all.

14 October 2020
    "The Horse" by Elsa2 has been added to the HP Universe Page. These stories are not "gay-centric" but the writing was too good to pass up.
    Looking after a Muggle animal should be easy compared to saving Hogwarts from Voldemort. Harry and Draco might disagree with that. Featuring Luna, Marauders, peppermints and, of course, a tall, black, badtempered horse named Simon. Could Simon really be someone? There is a lot of guessing going on, but you won't know until almost the end. Awesome writing!

11 October 2020
National Coming Out Day
    National Coming Out Day in the United States is celebrated each year to mark the anniversary of the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. And honey, this queer threw open the closet door way back when and has not looked back ever since. I even kissed Jeff on the Capitol lawn!

15 September 2020
    "A Family Like None Other" by aspeninthesunlight has been Updated to the HP Universe Page. These stories are not "gay-centric" but the writing was too good to pass up.
    This story begins shortly before Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts and assumes he has lived through the experiences of canon years 1-5. Instead of Half-Blood Prince, he then lived through the events of "A Year Like None Other" and "A Summer Like No Other. Nothing from canon books 6 and 7 is necessarily true in this universe, though some elements from those books may be utilized. Major differences from canon: Snape in this story --is-- a pureblood; Vernon and Petunia Dursley have both died; and most notably, Snape has adopted both Harry and Draco. Minor differences include a wealth of details such as the fact that Draco's birthday falls on a different date. For more information, read the preceding stories.

6 June 2020
    "Vulnera Sanentur" by Zzzara has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. When Harry Potter fires a deadly curse at his "arch-enemy", he has no idea what the curse does. He has no idea he will soon beg Draco Malfoy's forgiveness and try his best to atone. He has no idea that the ugly bathroom incident he would rather forget will tangle and bind their lives together with no chance of escape. Navigating a treacherous path between Dumbledore's lies and Voldemort's orders, Draco is trapped and considered to be dead by both sides of the Wizarding War. Against the Golden Trio's wishes, he joins them on the Horcrux hunt. Except that he has no idea what he is hunting for. This is a love-story, a fight-story, very much compliant to the 6th and 7th 'Harry Potter' books and yet, very, VERY different. Because this time - after the Sectumsempra incident - Harry visited Draco in the hospital wing and tried to apologise.

10 May 2020
    "For the Want of a Nail" by thewickednix has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Page. Only months before Draco's upcoming initiation to the Dark Side, an unexpected situation in a dark alleyway causes distortion in his plans. Draco is forced to rethink his options of how he is to get through the war on the winning side. Because only one thing is for certain: he will live to see the end of it.
     I'm not usually a fan of first person works and this one flips back and forth quite a bit. It can be confusing at times, but well worth the read.

7 May 2020
     "Hidden in the Depths" by venius_envy has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots Page.
     Sometimes we know exactly what we're looking for, even if it isn't quite clear how to reach it.
     Yep, that's the author's summary. We are talking about Harry's lust for Draco from the first few words and his frustration of not being able to attain the unattainable. That, along with a well thoughtout plot and lots of action makes for a very good read. Enjoy!

6 May 2020
    "Draco Malfoy, It's Your Lucky Day" by Faith Wood has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots page. Even though he's unarmed, injured, lost in the Forbidden Forest, and facing a possible murder charge, Draco Malfoy gets lucky. Ya gotta read this one!

1 May 2020
    "I Beg Your Pardon Potter" by Riyan_Blue has been added to the HD WIP Page with 50 chapters posted. Last update was 24 April 2020.
     “I beg your pardon, Potter?” It was lunchtime and Harry Potter had just asked Draco Malfoy out on a date.
     “I asked you out, Malfoy.” It had been a dare from Seamus.
     “I think I will go with,” Draco paused, squinting at Harry, incredulous at even being asked. “No.”

28 April 2020
    "An Image of Lethe" by Lomonaaeren has been added to the Ultimate Harry Draco Page. When the Ministry invents a way to distinguish between Light and Dark wizards, Harry Potter is one of the first test subjects to make sure the process is working properly. His utterly unexpected result propels him into the middle of a new political conflict: whether Dark wizards have the right to mingle with ordinary society. It's by Lomonaaeren. I need say no more - she's a genius!

    "Into the Deep and Dark Spaces of the Mind" by WantsUnicorns has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots Page. At first the lone lighthouse on the cliffs seems like the perfect spot to get away from it all. But when an old enemy appears, Harry realises that things might not be quite what they seemed.

19 April 2020
    "Rising of the Stones" by Lomonaaeren has been added to the Ultimate Harry Draco Page. Draco Malfoy has become the Ministry’s best Auror. He executes all kinds of unusual assignments, including one to go after the unexpectedly fugitive Harry Potter. But as he chases Potter down, Draco learns a lot more about what the Ministry has been hiding from the wizarding world than he ever wanted to know—secrets that may impact more than just his ability to arrest Potter.
     This is a soul marks story that Lomonaaeren (566 Harry Potter stories to date) has told with her usual perfectly expected way. You will enjoy this story!

14 April 2020
    "Malfoy's Redemption" by GodIsGayQueenB has been added to the Ultimate Harry Draco Page. Draco Malfoy was done. He gave up on who he's supposed to be. That hadn't truly been Draco Malfoy anyway. The real Draco Malfoy... no one knew who that was. But now Draco is tasked with several problems: Would anyone believe that he'd changed? How could he convince them, especially with Pansy and Blaise running around, out for his blood? And most importantly, how could he make amends? But life with Harry Potter could never be simple. And as secrets are revealed and new dangers present themselves at every turn, Hogwarts will prove never to be peaceful, not even after the fall of the Dark Lord.

    "Turn From Stone" by harryromper has been added to the Ultimate Harry Draco Page. Draco Malfoy was done. Something happened in the hours after the final battle, after the evacuation of the living and the dead. As the last of the survivors left the castle, and as the castle itself turned its wounded back on them all. The loss of Hogwarts has been felt by their entire community. And it’s something that needs to be put right. Harry knows there’s nothing he can do to stop Hermione (war hero, historian, author of the reissued “Hogwarts: A History”) once she sets her mind to something. Even an extremely risky last-ditch effort to restore the ancient castle and lay its newest ghosts to rest. What he wasn’t counting on was her insistence that Draco Malfoy be part of the plan.

    All of the Skyehawk recommendations have been updated. Sadly, many I could not find on a different site. On the other hand, I did find quite a few on alternate sites and have updated the story links. Cheers!

    Skyehawk.com has gone dark. Thanks to Terry for the update! I have 26 recommended works on that site. I am working feverishly to fix those links. Some I have found, some I have not. Expect upates in a few days as I work through it all. Rest assured that I have all those works archived.
    This site has been online for over 17 years. It amazes me how many sites come and go that have wonderful works. I try to archive the ones I recommend, meaning I have a copy saved on my computer. There are so many awesome works that are being lost, I felt it important to archive them for our future fans. Some sites go dark and some authors choose to delete their works. Regardless, every rcommendation on this site is backed up on a harddrive.

7 March 2020
    "The Wand That Chose Two Wizards" by saltwatergarden has been added the to the Ultimate Harry Draco Page.
    Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts to finish off his eighth year, but finds that it’s very different than the Hogwarts he once knew. He’s sharing a common room with all the other eighth year students, he’s no longer sure if he wants to become an Auror, his best friends are constantly off snogging, and his Potions partner, Draco Malfoy, is acting nothing like his usual bratty self.
     Draco Malfoy wants nothing less than to go back to Hogwarts, but for his mother, he does it anyway. While he hopes he can hole up in his room and do nothing but homework for the year, he finds himself despising his terrible new wand, befriending an inexplicably odd Ravenclaw, secretly taking Muggle Studies classes, and willingly helping the Saviour of the Wizarding World himself, Harry Potter. It’s going to be a very interesting year.

Celebrating another year on the World Wide Web!
    The Tarheel Writer quietly celebrates our 17th year on the World Wide Web. We're almost legal! I did it drinking "several" Seabreeze drinks (vodka, grapefruit with a splash of cranberry) in the Florida Keys. I am humbled by all the people offering support to this site. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
    This site has slowly become a Drarry/Harry Draco recommendaton site, BUT, there are so many excellent stories that are also recommended that I am sure you will enjoy. Check out a recommendation today.
    I can not let this moment pass without mentioning my friend and awesome author Chris James. He passed away and is so missed. You will find a ton of his stories on this site. There are many authors that I correspond with, but Chris was special. We had many things in common, location, a love for sailing, adventure, young boys and more. Rest easy my friend. Your legacy is alive and well at The Tarheel Writer.

3 February 2020
    "Yours to Keep" by dracoismytrashson has been added to the Ultimate Harry Draco Page. Some people think concepts like fate and destiny are romantic, but for Harry Potter, fate has always meant one thing: a swift kick in the arse. Why else would he cross an ocean to New York and enroll in Muggle university only to find Draco Malfoy living two doors down the hall? The universe and its twisted sense of humor can fuck right off.
     A story in which two broken boys try to repair themselves halfway across the world. Too bad trauma doesn't care how far you run.

27 January 2020
    "Firebond" by Oakstone730 has been added to the Ultimate Harry Draco Page. "Draco is forced to tutor Harry in potions. A slight problem occurs." That's the author's summary, but there is a whole lot more going on that I am sure you will enjoy. As the title suggests, this is a story about a bond.

17 January 2020
    "Returning to Sanity" by AchillesTheGeek has been added to the Ultimate Harry Draco Page. Epic Read! 100 chapters and over 600k words! It's just after the Battle of Hogwarts, and the insanity that was Voldemort is over. The clean-up is about to begin. How will the Wizarding World return to sanity? And will Harry manage to keep his?

16 January 2020
    "Beneath You" by Lissadiane (formally Cinnamon), considered by many, including me, to be a Drarry Classic story is now back on line over at AO3. Draco had no idea that the repercussions of stealing Potter's journal and shoving it down the back of his trousers would be so extreme. Featuring nefarious plots, the mating rituals of Slytherins, double-crossing spells, Ron/Pansy, and Draco/Harry.
    "Beautiful World" also by Lissadiane (formally Cinnamon) is also back on line over at AO3. Draco is afraid of living and Harry is afraid of dying, but sometimes the choice isn't offered. Draco's got to learn what it is to really live, while showing Harry how beautiful the world really is when you're not too scared to see it.
    A great big thank you to Ayu for letting me know. Good luck finding those stories my friend!

14 January 2020
    "Evolution" by hawthorn_and_holly (bigblueboxat221b) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry is offered the chance to return to Hogwarts. He jumps at the opportunity for some quiet solitude in the weeks before the academic year begins. To his surprise, he is not the only one seeking to make new memories and perhaps redefine some old relationships in the process.

8 January 2020
    Two Harry/Draco Classics have been updated. "White Horses" (published in 2004) and "Black Sheep" (published in 2006) by Jackie Stevens are now available at FictionAlley. I have updated the links on the Ultimate Harry/Draco page.

5 January 2020
    The "Blood Magic" Series is now complete with part three, "Misunderstood Creatures" being completed on 27 November 2019. Be sure to read the trilogy in order; "A Half Life, A Cursed Life" followed by "The Forest" and ending with "Misunderstood Creatures." The co-authors are partners in real life. How cool is that? The original plot summary is very simplisitc, but draws you in immediately - Harry Potter has decided to die. Draco Malfoy may be the only one who has noticed. Links are on the Ultimate Harry/Draco page. Enjoy!

4 January 2020
    "All the Ghosts are Screaming" by olivemartini has disappeared from FanFiction.net. I do not know why olivemartini pulled it from FanFicton.net, but it is not there anymore. I found the story on WattPad.com and have updated the link on the Ultimate Harry/Draco page. The work on WattPad may not be the entire work, but I have a complete copy. I recommended this story back in March of 2019 and just finished re-reading it. It is a well told tale.

1 January 2020
Happy New Year!

    I just finished reading "Twist of Fate" by Oakstone730 again, which I originally added on 11 January 2019. I remember whey I suggested this story as it is an awesome read. Draco asks Harry to help him beat the Imperius curse during 4th year. The lessons turn into more than either expected. A story of redemption and forgiveness.

9 June 2019
    "Forsaken" by Shivani has been added to te Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Dumbledore does the unforgivable, and is forsaken by his pawn. This is a departure from what we know of how Harry's sixth year summer will go and gallops quite merrily into the world of AU. This is a betrayal fic and an over-powered Harry story that you will enjoy.

23 March 2019
    "Shadow Play" by white_fox has been added to te Ultimate Harry/Draco List. It had been eight years since the Wizarding World had seen Harry Potter after the defeat of You-Know-Who and Draco had become a teacher at Hogwarts. When a new teacher comes in to fill in a post, Draco starts to see the Boy-Who-Lived in the man and become curious. Meanwhile Harry is running from something and is reluctant to tell anyone what it is.
    "Fade to Silver" by furosity has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots List. Four years ago, Draco Malfoy disappeared completely. This is the story of what happened next as Draco is found in a muggle pub by Auror Harry Potter.
    "The Ties That Bind Us" by Faith Wood (faithwood) has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots List. An accident leaves Draco and Harry bound tightly together. Literally.

22 March 2019
    "All the Ghosts are Screaming" by olivemartini has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry had been told he had a bit of a saving people thing. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, because he didn't see it as a bad thing. So what if he sometimes put himself in danger to save other people? So what if he would take a bullet for almost all of his friends? It wasn't something he thought he had to fix, until the day he's sitting beside Ginny in court watching Malfoy get put on trial, hearing the Wizengamot say that he had to stay on house arrest with an acceptable citizen, and no one speaks up, which meant that Malfoy was going to Azkaban. Which is around the time that Harry stands up without really deciding to and offers up a room at Grimmauld Place. So yeah. Maybe he does have a bit of a saving people thing.

6 March 2019
    "Humility" by haraamis and kedriaa has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. After last summer's turn of events, Draco begins to look at his life in a new light. As he embarks on a journey of self-discovery, darkness looms on the horizon. With the security of his past shattered, Draco will need to learn how to trust his new allies to overcome this new threat. And just who is this new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher?

5 March 2019
    "A Guide to the Morphology of Magic" by windlaa has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. When Draco Malfoy is hand picked to investigate a string of curses cropping up in Muggle communities in North America, the last person he wanted to be traveling with was Harry Potter. Still, duty calls, and the two set off on an adventure chasing down mysterious curses, sleeping in cramped hotel rooms, and trying to navigate their newly formed post-War selves as they make their way through small towns and long, dark stretches of highway.

2 March 2019
    "Matters of Influence" by anathema91 has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots List. Draco should have taken his NEWTs over the summer with Pansy and Greg. Repeating 7th year with Potter fresh off his saved-the-world tour struck Malfoy as the height of stupidity more than once. McGonagall's diabolical plan only made things worse. Or did it? Canon compliant up to and including DH. Epilogue-ambiguous. Action in this story takes place after the main events DH, but before events reflected in the Epilogue.

1 March 2019
    "The Killing Moon" by NeverNever has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry Potter's saving-people-thing is set to become the bane of Draco Malfoy's life - alongside Dark Lords, werewolves, ex-teachers, Horcruxes and not-dead-enough ancestors. At over 156,000 words, it's an epic read.
    "The Only Final Path" by Celandine has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots List. Friendship between his son and Draco's gradually brings Harry to a realisation of what he really wants.
     That's the author's summary for a very well thoughtout drama. Perfect! You'll enjoy it! Celandine has written well over 300 stories in the HP Universe!

25 February 2019
    I had completely forgotten about Comicality's Gone From Daylight Series and have now posted the links to the entire series on the Suggested Reading Complete page.

16th Anniversary!
    It's the 16th Anniversary for the Tarheel Writer! And I'm spending it in the Florida Keys. Cold and rainy at home, warm and sunny here. Thank you all for your love and support over the 16 years we've been on line. We would not be here today without you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

23 February 2019
    The Three Part Blood Magic Series co-authored by SpinnersendSlytherin and ThestralHouseofBlack has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. This series deals with depression, drug abuse, suicide and recovery.
    From the authors: Don't read this if don't have a great support system, or if you feel like a relapse could easily be on the horizon. Part one of this story is an emotional train wreck.

18 February 2019
    Four stories and one two-part series have been added today and here they are.

    "Sense of Doubt" by Reginalivesagain has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. The battle is over, but a war is still waging inside Harry. The normal life he dreamed of is not what he thought it would be and the Weasley home is becoming less welcoming each day. Unsure of what he wants, things begin to sour around him. As much as he thought he loved Ginny, he's beginning to realise that perhaps they aren't well-matched. As if things weren't confusing enough, he gets a letter. He's invited to stand witness at Draco's final hearing. Will he go? If he does, what will happen after?

    "Of Roses and Dragonfire" by xErised has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Years after That Kiss, Potter (and his new pet snake) appears again, this time as Hogwarts's Quidditch and Muggle Games instructor (what are Muggle Games anyway? Is this why Potter is swimming in the Great Lake wearing such a tiny pair of pants?), disrupting Draco's peaceful life as Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. It's bad enough dealing with one exuberant Gryffindor (Charlie Weasley as Care of Magical Creatures professor) on the faculty, and what's all the gossip about Potter courting Draco?

    "I could be wrong, I could be ready" by harryromper has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. At first Harry wonders if they have managed to destroy his vaults and are trying to tell him in the most oblique way possible. But when he turns the page he realises they have found a vault. A vault in the name of Lily and James Potter. The parchment trembles a little in Harry's hand. He takes another gulp of wine. Harry Potter left Britain after the war and did not look back. Ten years later, when Gringotts discovers a vault containing his parents belongings including their badly spell-damaged wedding rings, Harry is forced to face up to friends and family who have grown in ways he could never imagine, a wizarding London rebuilt beyond his expectations, and the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. And if that was not enough, there is the entirely unforeseen problem of Draco Malfoy. Featuring pureblood wizarding traditions, ancestral magic, open mic nights, marriage equality, a diner in Brooklyn, and the return of Fleamont Potter.

    A two part series entitled "Slytherin Royalty" by AWX and Lexy0918 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Drao List.
Part One - "The Slytherin Prince" - The Prince has fallen; struck down in his moment of absolute glory, his shining moment to prove absolute loyalty. Yet such a triumphant moment morphed to such utter disappointment. Punishment must be dealt. The old fool was dead, yes, yet by the wrong hand. The Dark Lord will teach him the error of his ways. Failing was not acceptable. However, he can't kill the boy, that would be too easy, too merciful. Voldemort knew exactly what to do to insure the boy's obedience and then, he will have one last chance to earn his way back to his master's good graces. Draco wouldn't submit easily though. Voldemort welcomed the fight, as he knew the young Prince would fall at his feet in the end.
Part Two - "The Slytherin King" - is a work in progress with 6 chapters posted. The Christmas Holiday is upon Draco and the Golden Trio. Their fight against the Dark Lord continues to intensify along with Draco's punishment for defying him. The question that remains on the forefront of everyone's mind is whether the Slytherin Prince will continue to walk the path of the light, or will he succumb to the darkness forced on him by Lord Voldemort?

    "Come-Hither" by 77dmk77 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Draco's punished into servicing Voldemort for an Unforgivable failure. Harry experiences this too via his scar connection with him and begins to fall for his school nemesis. Now Harry has to fight to get Draco away from Voldemort.

It's a tough thing to admit, if only to himself, but sometimes Harry misses the old Malfoy, the one that used to taunt him at every turn.

13 December 2018

    I just read "Brass Balls" by Chris James for like, the ninth time, and wanted to share what a wonderful story he has told. Chris is one of the first authors posted on this site.

2 December 2018
    "Vigilae Mortuorum" (sequel to "Into the Cold Fire") by shamera has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. The sequel has apparently been abandoned after 6 chapters, but I didn't want to leave you with the cliffhanger from "Into the Cold Fire." So, here it is.

5 September 2018

Sadly, his family is on the wrong side of this war. Or are there even more secrets?.
    OK, so here's the 411. The plot is excellent, but the grammer and spelling is horrible. English is not the native laungage of the author. Occasionally, you'll have to read a sentence twice to be able to understand it. The situation is unique and the plot, as I said, is excellent. I really enjoyed it!

4 September 2018

16 August 2018
    "Guilded Soul" by Digitallace has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. It’s one thing to hear about the daring tales of Harry Potter but quite another to be living in the middle of one. But the danger Draco is destined for seems trivial once he finds himself falling in love with Harry. This is one of the first stories written by Digitallace, but she has reworked it.

    I've been doing a little "behind the scenes" work on the website. The result is I have verified the links to stories and in some cases updated links to proper websites. You will notice the new addition to pages noting the verifed link. I have also been working hard to archive stories that have been around for years.

27 May 2018
    "Human After All" by one_flying_ace has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots List. Now he’d slid back into it as though he’d never left, most of the other Aurors deferring to him regardless of where they were. It was almost irritating, knowing they were right and he’d wasted two years pretending to be a Harry that he wasn’t. He sighed, and apparated with a crack. A story in which Harry wakes up, Draco grows up, and the Ministry faces some tough cases.

22 May 2018
    I've been on an epic journey reading "Tales from the Special Branch" series by Femme (femmequixotic). Over a million words and it is still being written! Links to the series and its stories have been added the the Untimate Harry/Draco List!

Part One is "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (1 chapter and 14,629 words)
    Prequel to Part 2. After he sees Harry Potter naked in the Auror showers once, Draco can't stop thinking about him.
Part Two is "Lost in Your Arms" (10 chapters with 257,678 words)
    Three months after their brief encounter, Draco has almost forgotten about Potter--or so he tells himself. Then a Dark wizard shows up on the Auror radar and all hell breaks loose. Draco will have to choose between everything he holds dear--everything he's worked so hard for--and a few stolen moments of passion with a certain green-eyed Inspector, once his sworn enemy and now something rather different entirely. He'll make the right choice, won't he? Who is he kidding? He'll ruin everything, as per usual. Bad choices and the name Malfoy go hand in hand.
Part 3 is "These Secrets in Me" (10 chapters and words)
    Auror Special Branch team seven-four-alpha--Sergeant Draco Malfoy, Constable Pansy Parkinson, and Constable Blaise Zabini led by their SIO, Inspector Harry Potter--must handle personal and political fallout from the implication of Ministry employees and Aurors in the scandal around escaped Death Eaters and a Dementor uprising at Azkaban. On top of that, their original target, Antonin Dolohov, is in the wind.
    With all the ruckus, it's a good thing they have help from Unspeakable Hermione Granger, American Unspeakable, Legilimens, and Harry's recent ex, Jake Durant, Blaise's legendary necromancer grandfather, Barachiel Dee, and his potions expert mother, Olivia Zabini. What could possibly go wrong with an army of best friends, ex-lovers, and family? Especially when you add the strong-willed Parkinson clan to the mix.
    Meanwhile, troubling new leads arise, taking Our Team in a surprising direction.
    And Draco, still hiding his relationship with his SIO from the upper echelons of the Auror force, is definitely not falling in love with Harry Potter along the way. Not at all. Don't be ridiculous.
Part 4 is "Dare to Think" (18 chapters with 388,058 words)
    After recent events in New York, Seven-Four-Alpha are set to return back to London. They've captured their primary target, but by no means settled their case. They've still got rogue Dementors at Azkaban, prying investigators from Luxembourg, and a far larger Death Eater threat to manage, not to mention pressure from their own higher ups. Draco is reeling from his loss, and Harry is trying to be the best boyfriend he can, which may mean not being Draco's guv any longer. Harry's uncertain what his team'll find as they press deeper in the investigation, but he knows they will all be tested, perhaps more than they can bear.
    But they haven't a choice, have they? It's the bloody Death Eaters, after all, and the political integrity of Wizarding Britain and their magical allies hangs in the balance.
Part 5 is "Set Me Free" (currently being written!)
    Seven-Four-Alpha are back in London with available resources of the Ministry tracking their every move. Draco Malfoy remains lost, last seen in Thibodaux, Louisiana, as MACUSA was closing in. Harry is raging, barely in control of his magic, and the rest of the team are battered and unsure. Their recent failure haunts them, as does the spectre of a MACUSA-Ministry alliance under the control of the Quahog administration and its shadow puppetmaster, Aldric Yaxley. The Dementor crisis with Luxembourg is brewing in the background, as is a conflict with Rodolphus Lestrange. And that's not even mentioning the bargain Blaise struck with Death to return his cup. The team have very little energy or resources for one fight, much less several of this magnitude simultaneously.
    Should they fail, though, political tyranny will grip both sides of the Atlantic and evils recently banished may return. Each of them is fighting for something they hold dear, but no victory comes without a price. Still, desperate situations call for desperate measures, and desperation appears to be all they have.

20 March 2018
    "Things Worth Knowing" by Femme (femmequixotic) and noeon (noe) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. After the Battle, Harry thinks he's left Hogwarts for good, but Minerva insists that all students return for an Eighth Year if they wish to sit for NEWTs in the spring, and Harry needs those NEWTs to go into the Aurors. Draco's just grateful not to be in Azkaban. Or the Manor. He's hoping he can steer clear of Potter this year and grapple with his own problems. Unfortunately for him, Potter appears to be one of those problems. And that's not even addressing the fact that Potter's got serious issues of his own, which Draco realises as he's forced to share an Eighth Year dormitory room and several classes with the Gryffindor Git.

12 March 2018
    "All Missing Things (Can Be Found)" by gracie137 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Young children are going missing at the start of every month and the Ministry are desperate to solve the case. So desperate, that they are putting out a new team Headed by the youngest Junior Auror yet Harry Potter and Head of the Dark Arts department Unspeakable Draco Malfoy in a final bid to solve the case. As Harry and Draco try to deal with their messy past and unknown future, they delve deeper into the case and find out there's more to the kidnappings than they initially thought. It turns out that the natural order of the wizarding world is at risk.

7 March 2018
    "Harry Potter and the Curse of the Malfoy Dildo" by gracie137 has been added to Suggested Reading Fan Fiction One-Shots. When Harry goes to a Charity Auction he doesn't expect to come away with a sex toy that used to belong to the Malfoy Family, and he certainly doesn't expect to bond himself to it - but then again, when has Harry's life ever gone as he expects? LMAO, one very funny read!

5 March 2018
    "Lost Children" by gracie137 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. In the months since the War the Ministry have been cracking down on their reforms and trials, desperate to see all those who sided with Voldemort punished. This includes ensuring that the Malfoy family can not slip away like they did the first time. Harry’s more than happy to do whatever he can to help them until Pansy Parkinson arrives on his doorstep with a message from Narcissa Malfoy; she’s calling in his life-debt. Harry has a purpose again and it’s to save Draco who at the end of the summer is going to be tried as an adult Death Eater with the intention of the outcome being the Kiss. However, as with everything involving Draco sodding Malfoy it’s not that simple and Harry finds himself losing his heart in the quest to save Draco from his past.

3 March 2018
    "Heartlines" by shiftylinguini has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry never expected he’d end up chipping away at his virginity while wandless and bonded to Malfoy in Northern Europe. He never expected that would turn out to be the least surprising thing to happen while out on their training expedition in the middle of nowhere, either.

28 February 2018
    "The Shape of the World" by bixgirl1 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco's life is finally getting back in order. Until, that is, he sees a familiar face that has been missing since that last awful morning of the war. When has knowing Potter done anything other than complicate his life?

27 February 2018
    A very special thank you to all the visitors coming from Awesomedude! Welcome!
    Speaking of Awesomedude, I just added back my Links and Resources page. There are tons of links and lots of information. Some links are dead ends, but I'll get those cleared up real quick. I had forgotten all about this page and just ran across it today, so I thought I'd share :)
    Here is my 15th recommendation of February in honor of the 15 years we have been on the Internet: "The Claiming of Grimmauld Place" by bixgirl1 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. When Grimmauld Place begins fighting against Harry's ownership of it, he decides he needs help to train the historic home but little does he expect that it will be Malfoy who is most suitable for the challenge. However, as Malfoy and Harry get closer, Harry comes to understand that expectations are not always the best path by which to guide his heart and in the process learns just what is needed to make a house a home. Lots of angst in this, but it is really well told. Enjoy!

25 February 2018
    "If the Fates Allow" by Saras_Girl has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Auror Harry Potter and his SAT, excuse me, according to Draco, he's Harry's Strategic Apparatus Technician, much like 'Q' is to James Bond, together working to solve crimes. "Don't start with the film thing," Draco says, and he passes Harry a steaming cup. "It's taken me the best part of five years to stop Weasley from calling me 'Q'." It's twenty-five chapters that happen to coincide with the days of December. Great story!

24 February 2018
Fireworks!
    Today, we celebrate our 15th Anniversary on the Internet. Fifteen years of posting our own works and those of countless others. I have made many, many friends over the years and I cherish each and every one made. This month, with our anniversary in mind, I have made it a point to post a new recommendation at least every other day this month which would total 14 recommendations. So I have been reading like a mad man! The wonderful stories that I recommend are a true joy to read and recommend. Thank you for your support! You are truly appreciated.
    In order to make my recommendations this month equal one for every year we have been on the Internet, here is today's recommendation:
    "The Romantic Prawn Who Loved Christmas" by bixgirl1 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. When Draco is forced into sharing a room with Potter for the year, Draco finds out from Ron that Potter has a sleepwalking problem and should expect an odd conversation or maybe a game of chess here and there. What he does not expect are Potter's other activities and why he is so intent on having Draco join him.

23 February 2018
    "In Evidence of Magical Theory" by bixgirl1 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. When a hex meant for Draco accidentally catches Harry as well, the pair are forced to learn to understand each other in ways they previously might have thought impossible. A really good bonding story that dips with sex. Hehe, I liked this one!

21 February 2018
    "In the Shadow of Your Heart" by lq_traintracks (lumosed_quill) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. And thus began the very strange circumstance of their fake dating in public and real fucking in absolute secret. It was, with no comparison, the weirdest relationship Draco had ever been in – which was to say, it wasn't one.

19 February 2018
    "Blood and Fire" by lq_traintracks (lumosed_quill) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry has spent the last twelve years in Romania, not returning to England as often as he knows he should. It's complicated. But when Ginny asks him to be her best man and help her plan her wedding, he can't say no. Having a reckoning with his choices, with himself, won't be easy. To say nothing of seeing Draco again.

17 February 2018
    "Strictly Sex" by chairmanfreakingmeow has been added to the Harry/Draco One Shots List. Draco's spent the last few years as a high end hooker drifting through the motions, then comes Harry.

15 February 2018
    "What's My Age Again?" by lazywonderland has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry Potter has had enough of pleasing the public, and his reckless tendencies are finally getting out of hand. The Quidditch World Cup is only a week away; as Captain of the English National Team, Hermione has assured him that his immaturity won't be tolerated by the Ministry. And then Malfoy shows up.

13 February 2018
    "But When I Dream" by Gullviva has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Draco put down his fork, as if in a daze. He suddenly felt cold. Throughout all their years at Hogwarts, he and Potter had always been glancing at each other, keeping an eye out for hostility and gauging each other's reactions to the events around them. Whenever something happened, Draco's eyes had always sought out Potter first; ready with glee or outrage, depending on the situation. And each time, blazing green eyes had met his own. Until now. The connection between them had somehow been broken.

11 February 2018
    "The Tell-Tale Owl" by Romaine has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Teddy meant well. He just wanted to give Harry the same thing he always wanted...parents. Unspeakable Teddy Lupin comes across a scroll with the Potter seal on it. The only problem is that he found it in a birdcage resting on a cloud high up in the sky.

9 February 2018 (Happy Birthday Jevic!)
    "Maybe This Time" by Hatsonhamburgers has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Draco Malfoy has returned home from France after a five-year Potions Mastery study. He opens a shop in Knockturn Alley, is researching mental health treatments, and has a lovely flat all his own. The ire toward his name seems to have blown over, and he's treated kindly by even those who were opposite of him in the war. His life feels so full, but he can't ignore that he knows what's missing: his old nemesis and obsession, Harry Potter. But something's wrong with Harry. He seems to have had a complete breakdown after the war, and has spent the last five years trapped in time. Every day is the same, and every day, Draco makes amends to him. Potter seems to have lost himself to the trauma, and Draco wants to be the one to help him recover. But not all is what it seems, and Draco may need Harry just as much.

7 February 2018
    "Walk the Line" by thecouchsofa has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. While cleaning the Room of Requirement as part of his war reparations, Draco comes across an old mirror that keeps showing him images of himself and Harry holding hands. Draco doesn’t know what it is, but Harry seems to know a little more than he’s sharing.

5 February 2018
    "Mine Enemy (Original)" by Xx_Astrid_xX has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. One late night, by an odd, chance meeting, the divorced Harry Potter followed one Draco Malfoy home, and they had an impromptu one-night-stand. Eight years later, they're in a situation neither one of them would have expected to have ever found themselves in- both lonely, single dads with school-age children whom they have recently gained full custody of, they're forced to mingle when their sons, Albus and Scorpius, become fast friends. How will they react to the feelings that keep surging up between them, and the feelings that are growing between their sons?

3 February 2018
    "Then Comes a Mist and a Weeping Rain" by Faith Wood has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. This is an eighth year story where it always rains for Draco Malfoy. Metaphorically. And literally. Ever since he had accidentally conjured a cloud. A cloud that's ever so cross. Wonderfully told story!

1 February 2018
    "Right Hand Red" by lq_traintracks (lumosed_quill) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. This is an eighth year story that involves the room of requirement and the muggle game of Twister with a game of spin the bottle thrown in for good measure. A portrait version of Professor Snape teaches DADA and Harry owns a fog-coloured 1961 Morris Minor sedan. Ha! Great story!

16 January 2018
    "That Missing Something" by xenadragon_xoxo has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. On two different sides of London, living their own lives and finally experiencing peace and even some happiness, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy begin to feel a little…empty. It's manageable at first, but after the emptiness come odd emotions striking at odd times, jeopardising work and friendships, and after odd emotions come urges and longings for something they can't find. Unable to find the piece they're missing and clueless as to what's making them this way, Harry and Draco experiment with different ways to solve their issues – but what if it's all connected?
    A really good story with a bonding not revealed until the end.

26 December 2017 - Boxing Day
    "The Sleeping Beauty Curse" by anonomous has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. When Draco Malfoy falls into a cursed sleep and can only be woken, at least, according to the Daily Prophet, that impeccable source of truth, by true love's kiss, Harry Potter knows there's no way on earth he's the answer to this particular riddle. Is he . . .?
    OMG, what an awesome story! Read it, you will love it just as I do.

25 December 2017

    Thank you so much for visiting and supporting The Tarheel Writer. From our home to yours, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

23 December 2017
    "Thar Be Dragons" by Professor Drarry has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. When Draco is forced to go on a work-related dragon hunt, he is less than thrilled. When an unwelcome third party appears, he is fuming. And when the adventure doesn't go as planned, he knows he is well and truly doomed.
    Fun story and you'll enjoy it. This work was completed 7 February 2017!
    "Muggle Technology and Heroism" by TommyLane has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Draco Malfoy wasn’t exactly the best roommate Harry’s ever had. The man tended to watch way too much James Bond and his obsession with muggle technology not only rivaled Arthur Weasley’s but more often than not ended with Harry trying to assure him that the appliances weren’t out to get him. Then there was the little fact that Harry was hopelessly in love with him while Draco remained completely unaware, bringing nameless men home night after night.
    But Harry loved his life and was somewhat (as long as he doesn’t actually think about it) content enough in the way things were going. That is until Draco’s old boyfriend comes sweeping back into town – making Draco breakfast and fixing the remote control before Harry can and forcing him to realize that if he doesn’t do something soon, that he might lose the man he loves before he even gets a chance to ever actually have him.

To each and every one of you that have stood by me and encouraged me, I say thank you very much. You are appreciated! Happy Thanksgiving!

13 September 2017
    "Into the Cold Fire" has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. After a final fight with Voldemort, Harry is sent to another world... a world where he died ten years ago, Voldemort is still at large, and his parents are alive. But the differences aren't stopping at that.
    Oh my goodness, this is a well told tale, but the sequel is not finished and the story ends with a cliffhanger! I was left wanting for more, but could not pass up the opportunity to share this wonderful story.

26 August 2017
    "Normal Does It" has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. On his deathbed, Lucius gives Draco an almost impossible task that will hopefully salvage the reputation of the Malfoy family. Draco finds himself in need of a magical ship called the Wave-Sweeper, but finds one Harry Potter standing in his way. This "new" Harry Potter, with his strange obsession to be "normal", assigns himself the task of being Draco's watchdog. Together, with a motley crew of Hogwarts alumni, they fly both sea and air following an ancient map that leads them to an unknown island and strange creatures, but both Harry and Draco are harbouring secrets that threaten the tenuous relationship that grows between them.
    "Etoile des Neiges" (Star Snow) has been added to the Ultmate Harry/Draco List.
    The eighth year students spend the holidays in a French ski resort and Draco comes to terms with his feelings.
    Potter was leaning against the doorframe, feet bare, jeans low on his hips, ear pierced, nose red from the cold. He was smirking as if the sole purpose of his existence was to drive Draco crazy.
    LOL! Sometimes just one sentence from a story says so much.

8 July 2017
    "Harry Potter and His White Wolf" has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. One night Harry meets a white wolf. What happens when he finds out who his wolf really is?
    That's the author's summary, but there is a whole lot more to this story. Let's just say that the white wolf has silver eyes, much like a certain blond Slytherin.

15 June 2017
    Just finished re-reading "Sanctuary" by MystyVander. It is a stormy night when Draco Malfoy seeks the assistance of none other than Harry Potter. On the brink of beginning a horcrux hunt, what is he supposed to do when his old rival comes seeking sanctuary? What is he supposed to do when that supposed enemy comes forward saying that the prophecy was wrong and it was truly the Dark Lord who has power that the Order knows not? It turns out the Order has been looking in all the wrong places and Draco Malfoy is going to help Harry look in the right ones.
    Wonderfully told tale!

31 May 2017
    I had the opportunity to re-read "All I Ever Wanted" by Samael the other day. What a wonderful read. While exploring his other works, I came across "The Echoes of Yesterday" and gave it a go. Wow! Awesome story. So it ends up on the Ultimate Harry/Draco List.

18 April 2017
    "Black Truth" by InferiorBeing has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. And, with bated breath, Draco traced the silver line down one more step in the family tree. Draco Lucius Malfoy... the third full blooded Veriae in the Malfoy family... and future life mate of Harry Potter. 42 chapters and over 100K words of a well told story complete with suspense, adventure, fluff and of course love. You'll enjoy this one!

24 February 2017

14 February 2017
    "Nine Circle Journey" by Golden Imperium (ShameTheDevil) has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry and Draco are pulled out of their potions lessons to go to Hell (don't ask). Reluctantly they agree to go through the Nine Circles and face lust, jealousy and violence among other things. Secrets are uncovered and the two 'enemies' might just confess their obvious love for each other when they're literally forced to go through hell together.

22 January 2017
    "Written on the Heart" by who_la_hoop has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry doesn't mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn't. It's just – do they have to be so friendly? He's not prejudiced, really he's not. It's just – they've got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he's attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.
    When he's hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare? 8th Year Story.

10 January 2017
    "Tea and No Sympathy" by who_la_hoop has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?

20 December 2016
    "A Tale of Two Tents" by wo_la_hoop has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. When Scorpius and Al take their parent's rivalry to a whole new level, Hogwarts is forced to intervene. Or, how Harry and Draco went camping, encountered mud, and managed to survive with all their limbs intact.

25 July 2016
    "I Don't Know Who I Am" by David Spowart has been added to Suggested Reading Complete.
    Quoting from the opening paragraph, "The one thing in my life that has been constant is my Mother, but things became complicated when she discovered she had kidney trouble, I obviously loved my Mother so I offered up one of my own, but she insisted other avenues should be sought first, we were entered onto the register, so without my mother knowing I myself went and got tested, shock ... I was not a match, why was I not a match?."
     I stumbled across David Spowart's work while "surfing" around Nifty (absolutely wonderful site that I heartily recommend supporting). The story that captured my interest is "Well That Was Unexpected" which is an ongoing project. This story, however, is about reconnecting. It is wonderfully told and I am certain that you will enjoy it!

25 June 2016
    "If Only I Could Turn Back Time" by xenadragon_xoxo has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry is grieving over the death of his fiancée Ginny when he discovers that Draco has a Time-Turner and enlists his help to save her. But what happens when things go wrong and they go a little too far back? And what happens when Harry begins to question if this mission is really worth it?

16 June 2016
    "The Devil's White Knight" by angryspaceravenclaw has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. When Harry wakes up in an alternate timeline, a timeline where Voldemort was defeated long before the first war, he discovers everything is different. His parents, his godfather, his friends, and him. Harry must deal with the consequences of who he would have been if he had been raised by his parents, and figure out where he stands with his casual hook up, Draco Malfoy.
    Awesome story! Just completed 5 June 2016.

15 June 2016
    "Bursting Bubbles" by Stephanniexo has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry and Draco grow closer during bathtime.
    That's the author's summary, but I really enjoyed this as a light read and I think you will too.

4 May 2016
    "Welcome to the Real World" by IamtheLizardQueen has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Includes red mittens, linoleum, witty retorts, angst, love, dance clubs, strange friends, cooking shows, and coffee not necessarily in that order!
    That's the author's summary, but there is a lot more. I really enjoyed this as a light read and I think you will too.

17 April 2016
    "For the Sake of Grades" by RarePairFairy has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Draco Malfoy didn't find it difficult to serve Voldemort. He found it impossible. Which is why, upon being ordered to kill Dumbledore, he defected to the side of good and sent his own father to prison. Students on both sides of the conflict have problems with him, and he finds himself beset on all sides by hatred and distrust. Harry doesn't know how to feel about any of it, but someone's going to have to take Malfoy's side in all this.
    Originally added as a work in progress, this story is now complete.

23 March 2016
    "31 Days" by Arh.581958 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry asks Draco or a divorce. Draco only asks for 31 days. Add in their son Scoripus and you have a sweet rekindling of the love story.

14 March 2016
    "Harry Potter and the Inconvenient Condition" by mirabella has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry comes back from vacation with an inconvenient case of vampirism and must learn to cope with blood, Malfoy, and recalcitrant secretaries. It's Vampire Harry! Awesome story!

9 March 2016
    "Shades of Truth" by teresa has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Sometimes, the truth is hidden. Sometimes it can be painful to find, but sometimes it is a wonderful thing. Enjoy!

5 March 2016
    "Paradigm" by Cheryl Dyson has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. It's a Rentboy Draco/Auror Harry story. A story set up that has been visited many time, but this is not your typical story. Enjoy!

24 February 2016
Tarheel Writer 13th Anniversary
    Today, at The TarheelWriter, we celebrate our 13th year on the Internet. Thank you for supporting us throughtout the years as we continually evolve. I'm on my third computer since the site was first launched. *Shakes head* Technology! Gotta keep up!
    I have made many friends, learned a whole lot about website design and have read literally thousands of stories, many of which I recommend. Having been online for so long, a lot of the wonderful stories I discovered early on have sadly diaappeared. I have made note of those as I still recommend them. Most, I have a copy of.
    If this is your first visit to TarheelWriter, welcome! Have a look around. There's tons of stuff here for you to enjoy.

23 February 2016
    "James Potter and the Morrigan Web" by G. Norman Lippert has been added to Suggested Reading Harry Potter Complete. Fourth book in the series! As James Potter returns to Hogwarts in the wake of "the Night of the Unveiling", he discovers that even in the protected center of the magical world, nothing is quite the same.
    "Harry Potter and the Veil of Mystery" by semprini has been added to Suggested Reading Harry Potter Complete. Suddenly with a higher profile after being proved right about Voldemort's return, Harry's use of Voldemort's name around Hogwarts gains popularity. It also attracts Voldemort's attention in the form of a series of attacks, and Harry soon finds that he is shouldering a burden even greater than the prophecy--the likelihood that Sirius's fate could come to his friends, who will stop at nothing to protect him.

    I have been working diligently on the Ultimate Harry/Draco List ... updating links, archiving stories (those that have the indication "archived" I have a copy saved) and generally cleaning up things a bit. I know it's a bit early for spring cleaning, but, alas, the winter months have allowed me some time. I have only come across one story that I did not save and is no longer on line; hence my endeavour to save to my hard drive the stories that I have come to love. Thanks so much for visiting my site!

War escalates as Draco is forced to come to grips with his captors, his circumstances, and himself.

11 April 2013
    "Tempus Fugit" by Stylophile has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. A monumental cock-up in Potions leaves Harry and Draco contending with more than mutual enmity, and a strong desire to utter all manner of profanities. Slash, sex and slurred words ensue.

9 April 2013
    "One Harry Potter, Please" (If Possible, Seduced and Ready) by faithwood has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. All Draco wants is Harry Potter's friendship, just to make his new Auror job more bearable. However, after Harry stubbornly pays more attention to his secret admirer, Draco is forced to resort to drastic measures.

7 April 2013
    "State of Mind" by Sara Holmes has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry doesn't have a hero complex, he just really wants to help. However, he gets more than he bargained for after rescuing Draco Malfoy from an isolation cell in Saint Mungo's. This is the third story by Sara Holmes to make it to this list.

26 March 2013
    "Get Some" by Sara Holmes has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. Harry is getting rather fed up with everyone treating him differently after the war, and catches hold of the one person who doesn't seem to care about his hero status. Warnings for mature adult content and adult language.
    If you happen to notice, you will see that my previous entry on 26 February 2013, is the second story I've suggested by Sara Holmes. Hehehe, yer gonna like this one!

26 February 2013
    "Mental" by Sara Holmes has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco List. A miscast Legilimency spell by Neville Longbottom links Harry and Draco mentally. This is 32 chapters of one of the best stories I've read in a long time. Simply Awesome! I am already reading another story by Sara Holmes and it is just as good. She is a master storyteller and, and, her characters are true to their originals. Read and you will enjoy!

24 February 2013
    Quietly and with little fanfare, the Tarheel Writer celebrated 10 years on the Internet. Ten years! I promise not to strain my shoulder as I reach around and give myself a slap on the back.

9 February 2013
    "Dirty Business" by ILoveToChin25 has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Story List. Harry is captured after setting off on his own to find the remaining Horcruxes, and is kept alive for Voldemort's own nefarious games. Draco Malfoy is assigned to look after him, and does so to protect his own self interest. Or does he? Really good story!

3 February 2013
    "In Loco Parentis" by phoenixstrike has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Story List. It is five years since Draco Malfoy and his wife were kidnapped. Nothing has been heard and he's presumed dead. Harry Potter is assigned to take care of Draco's son. But when it turns out Draco isn't quite as dead as everyone thought, it turns Harry's life upside down.
    "Choices of the Heart" by Naadi Moonfeather has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Story List. Harry has dreams that pull him into the realm of the newly dead. At first, the dreams are only a curious mystery, but when when Harry dreams of Narcissa Malfoy, his life suddenly goes in a much different direction than the one he'd always imagined.

21 January 2013
    "Anarchy As Art" by Lomonaaeren has been added to the Ultimate Harry/Draco Story List. Draco is a master thief and Auror Potter has been assigned the case. It's a story told only as Lomonaaeren can tell. I think this makes about a dozen stories that I have recommended by Lomonaaeren.

    Happy Holidays! This can be a difficult time of year for a lot of people. Please remember those less fortunate than us and do something special for them. Most of the time it just takes something simple that makes a huge difference in someone's life. The gift of kindness to a stranger, time volunteered or money generously given goes a long way to make difference. Thank you for remembering that this is the season of giving. Happy Holidays to each and every one of you!

    I am systamatically going through all of my recommended stories and archiving them. Too many times in the past, stories have just gone away and I want to make sure that I have them saved. Having recommended stories for over 9 years, I have learned that some authors just fade into the sunset and some stories get pulled. Regardless, every story I recommend, I truly enjoyed and would like to read again. In the process, I'm finding some new stories (sequels) that I am adding to the Suggested Reading List. This is a painstakenly slow process, but the site will be much better in the long run. Do be sure to check the Rec'd List from time to time as I have been updating it almost daily.

2 January 2012
    HAPPY NEW YEAR! It has been some months since I've been very active with the site. I am now the General Manager of a 111 room hotel and it has been taking 110% of my time to get it up and running. Now that things have "settled in" I will have more time to spend on the site. Thanks to you all for your many emails expressing concerning over my health. Rest assured, I am just fine and updates will now be coming on a more regular basis.

    MAJOR SITE UPDATE! I have been working very hard to switch this site from an html based site to a php based site. This may cause you some problems if you have bookmarked some of your favorite pages. Sorry about that. The site has become so extensive, well over 500 individual pages, that php seemed the best way to go. You will still find some html pages, but they are slowly being changed over to php. ALL of the major pages of the site are now php. Some of the stories are still html, but they will get changed over in the next few days. I apologize in advance for any difficulty this may cause you, but it certainly makes administrating this site a whole lot easier.

     The annual Perseid Meteor shower is in full bloom tonight for those living in the Northern hemisphere.
Perseid Meteor shower
     The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for over 2000 years, first being recorded in China. In early medieval Europe, the Perseids came to be known as the “Tears of St. Lawrence.”
     The Perseid Meteor shower actually starts each year in July as the earth begins to move through the meteor stream, with tonight (August 11) and Wednesday morning (August 12) being the peak of activity in the sky.
     The best time to view the meteor shower if you’re in the United States is Wednesday morning at 1:00 a.m. EST and at 5:30 a.m. EST. At the peak, you’ll see between 50 to 150 meteors an hour in the night sky, although you will see meteors at other times during the night. Best viewing is away from city lights, and obviously cloud cover.
     If you’re in the Southern hemisphere, parts of the meteor shower may be viewable depending on where you’re located, although many in the far south will miss out as most of the activity is over the horizon.

The Boys in Blue and Gray
     A brand new story from Chris James is now being posted.
     This story was gleaned from years of reading and hours of research, beginning with the cadets of the Virginia Military Institute, the youngest fighting unit to ever take the field…and win. Two hundred and fifty-seven cadets, many of them only fifteen years of age. Their place in our history is like no other, and the school still maintains a monument to honor their glory in the Battle of New Market. This is where the story begins.

     I dont' know what to think about the folks over at The Hex Files dot net. It seems that, while in the middle of reading a story, their ISP suspended their hosting. They didn't pay their bill for hosting! Come on! Gimme a break. This is supposedly a huge site with all kinds of authors' stories posted and they can't pay their bill? Perhaps we should make a donation to keep this fine site on line? If and when they do come back on line, I will be contacting their administrators to see what The Tarheel Writer can do to help. I'll keep you informed.

1 November 2009
     My congrats to PeeJayWrites who found a story on the recommended reading list that he didn't like. That's a first for me in all my years of recommending stories. I appreciate his honesty in letting me know his feelings. If you have run across a story you didn't like, please let me know. I will read the story again and make a second judgement. I pride myself in presenting stories I think you will like. I certainly do not want to be recommending "duds." Tastes in content, plot and character development change over the years and, perhaps, mine have too. So I encourage each one of you to let me know if you found a story ... lacking. Thanks!

31 October 2009
     "Memoirs of a Male Escort" by Digitallace has been added to Suggested Reading FanFiction Complete. Enjoy.

23 October 2009
     I've moved some more personal comments to Bricks and Musings. The last few days I have been enjoying reading a story provided to me by Don in Alabama ... Phoenix Song by Xylodemon. Absolutely wonderful story! It is slowly (and I do mean slow, last upated 2006!) being rewritten, but Don gave me the whole story, complete with a bit above average typos. Despite that, it was a really good read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you'd like a copy, just lemme know.

12 October 2009
     The Events Page has been updated.

25 August 2009
     As long as I'm recommending TV shows, here's another.
Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" is on the Travel Channel and is really good.

24 August 2009
     Here's two TV Shows that I recommend.

     "Merlin" is a wonderful TV series that you've gotta check out ... Sunday's at 8PM on NBC. Colin Morgan as Merlin and Bradley James as Prince Arthur are very fun to watch and the plot is usually good too!
     As long as I'm recommending TV shows,

I've gotta include "The Bill Engvall Show." Graham Martin plays a somewhat dimwitted teenage son, Trent, but he sure is fun to watch. Catch it Saturday nights at 9PM EDT on TBS.

19 August 2009
     I have added "Tests of Blood" by Allen Smithee to the Suggested Reading FanFic Complete list. This is Allen's only work so far. I hope to see more.

7 August 2009
     Suggested Reading Complete has been updated as well as some stories have been added to "The Short List."

6 August 2009
Perseid Meteor Shower

     The Perseid Meteor Shower peaks in North America on August 12th around midnight. If you've never experienced it, you should take time to see it.
     The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for over 2000 years, first being recorded in China. In early medieval Europe, the Perseids came to be known as the “Tears of St. Lawrence.”
     The Perseid Meteor shower actually starts each year in July as the earth begins to move through the meteor stream, with August 11 and August 12 being the peak of activity in the sky.
     The best time to view the meteor shower if you’re in the United States is Wednesday morning at 1:00 a.m. EST and at 5:30 a.m. EST. At the peak, you’ll see between 50 to 150 meteors an hour in the night sky, although you will see meteors at other times during the night. Best viewing is away from city lights, and obviously cloud cover.
     If you’re in the Southern hemisphere, parts of the meteor shower may be viewable depending on where you’re located, although many in the far south will miss out as most of the activity is over the horizon.
     I've just stepped outside and saw two meteors. Awesome!

5 August 2009
     The "Alone With Myself" series has been removed from the net by the author. It was posted over at AwesomeDude and at DeBeagle as well. The series has been removed from both sites. I killed the link on my suggested reading page, but left the suggestion. He has taken a "hiatis."
     Thanks to Olli for telling me about it! Enjoy all that sun my friend!

July 20, 1969
     "That's one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind."
     - Neil Armstrong

17 July 2009
Walter Cronkite
Walter Cronkite
The Most Trusted Man
in America
1916-2009

     I had drinks with Walter a few years ago. It was like meeting history itself. I grew up watching him tell us all the things that changed history. Kennedy's Assination, Martin Luther King's Assination, Neil Armstrong on the moon, the Vietnam War and the list goes on and on. He was a perfect gentleman and quizzed me about what I was doing in my life. I felt as if I were being interviewed and that Walter found me to be the most fasinating person in the world. At least I felt that way.

15 July 2009

Harry Potter
And the Half Blood Prince
     If you haven't been to see it. GO! The picture to the left is of Draco in the girl's bathroom crying, just before Harry (spoiler alert) comes in and slashes him with the curse from the potions textbook.

Michael Jackson
King of Pop
1958-2009

I just can't believe it!

25 June 2009
     I'm reading "What is this Feeling?" by Rising Phoenix1835 and I just couldn't help myself. I had to share this quote from the story.
     "Admittedly Draco wouldn’t deny the fact that Potter was a good looking bloke. Even if his sense of fashion was way off. It wasn’t a big secret in Slytherin house that Draco straddled the fence in terms of his sexual preferences. Not that he ever made it obvious. So the idea of being attracted to Potter because he was a guy wasn’t particularly disturbing. It was the fact that it was POTTER that he couldn’t wrap his mind around."
     I'm enjoying the read!

25 June 2009
     Added "The Most Beautiful Part" by FireStorm00X to Suggested Reading FanFic-Ongoing.

     MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT
     "The Nineteenth Year" has been C0MPLETED! Yes, you read right, I've finished the story that has been in progress since 2003!
     This story was most difficult to write as the history behind the main character was true. "Daniel" shared those painful memories with me and I weaved them into this story. At times it is difficult to read, but at the end, you will find that a truly remarkable man lived through a horrific experience and made a life for himself ... a life filled with everything we all desire ... including true love. I'm celebrating the end to the story with a glass of single malt Scotch, but ... is it truly the end? Alas, no it is not. For the future is an unwritten page and those that persevere through adversity will receive their just reward.

More suggested stories have been added. I finally finished reformatting The Watchers to a more easily read format. I won't lie ... things have been real busy around here and finding time to work on writing and updating the site has been really hard. But things are finally starting to line up and I'm seeing some smooth sailing in the near future. In fact ... I'm off to Florida the first of December to recharge the batteries. THANK YOU! A lot of emails remain unanswered in my in box, but they haven't been deleted. I'm working on them as time allows. This is the time of year that I am most busy. BTW ... I received a message from a reader in Pakistan. Zar, if you're reading this, you are in my thoughts. Stay safe! And to David in Texas, thanks! (Blushes) I'm not that handsome! ... or that young! And to Glenn in Australia ... thanks man! I just watched "Taken Down Under" the other night and I must say the "scenery" was fantastic!
     As for George W getting elected for another term ... I didn't vote for him! You frustrated Americans remember ... it's two steps forward and one step back. We just took the one step back. SO ... we have two steps forward to look, ah, forward to. Ya know, it's real easy to send an email to your senator or representative. God loves Nike ... Just Do It! Hugs buds! It will be OK!

Monday, December 15, 2003
     Note: Thanks to Quartzie from Prague for correcting me on the date. TWO ongoing stories have captured the Writer's attention! First, there's "Perry and Jesse" by Under The Hoodster and second there's "The Way You Say My Name" by Sara. BOTH of these stories are very captivating!
     "Perry and Jesse" is currently dealing with "Cage Fights." Perry believes that Jesse, being poor and constantly in need of cash, is participating in one of these illegal fights to earn money. On a mission to save Jesse from physical harm, Perry finds himself telling lie after lie to get into the room to find the love of his life. The results of his lying, combined with his really cute appearance, could possible put Perry where he really doesn't want to be. And all this is based on a hunch, yeah, a hunch that Jesse is fighting. It's a MUST READ!
     And then there's Sara and her story "The Way You Say My Name." LOL! A friend of mine told me today that she should be shot on sight! He went on to say that she's too GOOD to just be posting on the Net. I'll have to agree. Her story will have you ready to drive your fist through your monitor because YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! Sara's story continues to make me check the CRVBOY site EVERYDAY!

Sunday, December 14, 2003

     Several pages have been updated incuding the links page. There are still a few links to lead to a construction notice, but rest assured, I'me working on those pages as fast as I can. There are literally thousands of gay related sites out there and I've tried to weed through a few of them and recommend ones I think will be hellpful, enjoyable, informative, etc. If you know of a site that's not on my list, drop me an email. I'll check it out.
     Work continues on The Nineteenth Year and I hope to have chapter 8 out this coming week. I just need to make time to do it.
     I posted Halloween Reunion on The Nifty Archive and at Gay Authors and have received some very flattering emails. Thanks. I was good to hear from people I haven't heard from in awhile. If you haven't done so, please drop me a line.
     Speaking of dropping me a line, I'm working to construct a comments page so all you have to do is type your message and hit the send button. Damn, html code can be confusing at times. In the mean time, you can send your comments to The Writer

Monday, October 13, 2003
     Several stories have caught my eye and I'll be posting my recommendations shortly. I wanted to start with "Perry and Jesse" by The Hoodster. Don't forget all the titles in Suggested Reading are listing in alphabetical order, but the really new ones have the "NEW" animated gif beside the title. Oh, and I've been on the soapbox a bit lately, so be sure to visit Bricks and Musings.
     I've been extremely busy and somedays find it hard to drag myself out of bed. The remodeling is just about finished and "the move" is rapidly approaching. So I work during the day and I paint at night. I hate painting! Somewhere in between getting out of bed and climbing back in, I'm trying to find time to write. It's been difficult, but I'm about half way through Chapter 8 of The Nineteenth Year, or "NY" as a lot of you refer to it ... hehe. Progress continues, but there are a lot of physical descriptions of places I've either never been to before, or it's been so long ago that I can't remember. Luckily, I have several wonderful friends that are giving me a hand.

Friday, September 26, 2003
     Ed the Editor, 81, who lived just a few miles from me, passed away on Friday, September 19th. I had just received Chapter 7 of The Nineteenth Year back from him the day before. His death was unexpected, according to his son, but evidently he passed peacefully. Ed edited many of the works listed in Suggested Reading, including Alone With Myself, Mists of Fate, Jagged Angel and many, many more. His generous gift of time to edit the works of many on-line amateur writers is most appreciated. I am honored to have known him the short time that I did.

Most of my time is devoted to finishing up the basement construction. I'm down there every night pulling Cat 5 cables, electric cables, phone lines, cable TV lines, hanging light fixtures, etc etc etc. Jeff and I should be able to move in within three weeks, four at the max. I'm trying to get finished with the wiring before the sheetrock crew shows up. Wish me luck!

     By the way, if you haven't visited Bricks and Musings, you should. You'll learn a lot about what's going on in the writer's life. There's a new addition in Suggested Reading too. The Links Page is still under construction.

     New questions and answers have been added to the About the Writer page. There's a newly Suggested story. And you'll notice that everything I add new to a page will be added to the top. That way you don't have to keep scrolling down. :-)

     Word reached me today that Justin Case was killed in a car wreck on April 13th. Justin was a proflic writer and posted regularly on the Nifty Archive. His website is a testament to the incredible work this talented man did. Some of you will no doubtedly recall some of Justin's writings ... I'm So Alone, Justin's Story, Life on the Farm and many more. Justin was an incredible person and will be missed terribly! My heart goes out to all who knew him and those that will get to know him through his writings.

     I just completed a pretty major overhaul of the site. You'll find Suggested Reading has been moved and a warning page added. I've also posted the beginning of two new stories. They are both works in progress, but they'll give you an idea of what I'm working on. Yeah, I know. It's a tease. Enjoy!

     There are more updated pages out. Suggested Reading and About the Writer are now both available. They're both "works in progress" and more updates to those pages and any others will be posted here. You'll also find a new update to Bricks and Musings. Enjoy!

     I've finally had time to update pages and some of the links. Even more work is progressing on establishing a way to join a mailing list for site updates. Hopefully, that will be coming soon. Work progresses on a new story. Be sure to check the Bricks and Musings page for progress reports.
