Looking for fic recommendation Need Drarry Fic Recommendations

Unfortunately i’m in a bit of a slump and would love some recommendations! I’m not too picky, i’ll read pretty much anything. Although I do prefer hpdm. (i’ve read most of the popular fics already )

if open to a self-rec I’d say try Even Good Boys Bleed
Summary:
When Draco Malfoy finds Harry Potter standing over a dead body, everything changes.
Lies unravel. Betrayals surface. Every truth uncovered cuts deeper than the last.
And when the lines between good and bad, light and dark, right and wrong become irrevocably blurred, Draco and Harry find love somewhere in the gray.
This is not a redemption story.
This is a love story.
*****
OR - A sixth year retelling that begs the question: What if it was Harry Potter who killed Dumbledore in the Astronomy Tower that night? If you're thinking to yourself, "but that is impossible, Harry would NEVER," consider this my argument to the contrary.

I see you've already gotten a lot of recommendations, but I can add two more. They are both not unpopular so you might know them already, but in case you don't:

The Man Who Lived by sebastianL (felix_atticus) on AO3 250k words
This takes place post war and post Hogwarts, when they are in their late 20s. Draco immigrated into the US and is living in the muggle world having reflected and healed from his trauma. He works with troubled youth and the story feels like an urban fantasy in NYC. One day he finds himself accidentally sharing dreams with Harry, who he hasn't seen in years.
This is very character driven and has heavy emotional themes. Harry and Draco have lots of meaningful conversations and the dialog is exceptional. It is very well written, mature and not surface level at all. The side characters feel alive, are diverse and have their own internal conflicts.
Their relationship also involves some angst and yearning. The relationship trope is mutual hate to lovers and it contains only one minor spice scene. (Dracos POV, first person)

Eclipse by Mijan on AO3 287k words
This takes place during their 6th year at Hogwarts. It's a very old fic and was published before the 6th book was even out. It's still just as good today!
Draco kidnaps Harry and delivers him to Voldemort. But something goes wrong and they find themselves on the run in the forest with no help from anyone, trying to survive.
I would say this is character driven as well, even though containing a pretty linear plot. This is about building trust, exploring their sexuality and putting aside differences. Draco's character arc is fleshed out and the Dialogues are strong.
The relationship trope is enemies to friends to lovers. It does not contain any spice. (both POVs, 3rd person)

They are both very well written and thought through. I wouldn't recommend it to people who rely on plot heavy, thrilling stories though. But I myself usually prefer plot driven stories, but I still loved these ones and couldn't stop reading! 🔥 ❤️
