Smitten Harry / Bottom Draco
Hi! Essentially have gotten to the point where I’ve read too many fics that I have to kiss a lot of frogs (meh fics) to find a prince (good well-written fics). Looking for some hidden gems — Recently read Big Black Sky / No Harm / Way Down We Go — chef’s kiss btw, so a similar vibe won’t hurt but here is what I would prefer with my current mood:
not too long, max 25 chapters unless the chapters are short (don’t have a lot of time :c ), though preferably 1-10 chapters
bottom draco but still acts like a Malfoy (no evil, just sass)
top harry who is smitten but is an idiot about it
if angst, please no cheating!!
if AU, would still want the ‘rival’ history or theme. I love enemies to lovers but not too extreme (let me delude myself from canon)
bonus points if harry falls first and draco is being stubborn about it but eventually can’t deny it anymore, but wait, there’s a misunderstanding that makes him either jealous or think that Harry doesn’t feel the same at all or anymore (emphasis on misunderstanding!!) e.g. harry is hugging another man/woman who turns out to be a long lost cousin or something - very kdrama i know.
