Summary
Charlie wanted Harry, but he’d never planned on having him. He’d never planned on Draco Malfoy, either. He hadn’t planned on anything but living out his days in Romania, with his friends and his dragons and his safe, peaceful distance.
Apparently, it wasn’t a very popular plan.
This is a story about crumbs and flickers and roots, running away and coming home; about falling in love without meaning to (twice), and having truly good friends, and the mutually revealing recognition between two people in love with the same man.

Wow! That's just WOW. Now it's officially my favorite HP fic and the best physiological story I have ever read on aos3. Yes, it's explicit (quite heavily at that), but this story would be utterly impossible without it because it shows us characters at their most vulnerable and raw... and, well, let's face it all explicit scenes are magnificently written - they're not vulgar and meaningles and scurillous, but sensual and intimate and full of conflicting emotions that any other way would remain hidden.
The language itself is tender and sharp and all the right things: endearing and excruciatingly honest, astonishingly good and just perfect. I like that story challenges you with new or just rarely-used words without overcomplicating the whole thing: there's simple words when what they describe is simple and there's more intricate ones when something requires it. And more than anything else I love about this story that you literally can feel what Charlie feels - for the time you're borrowing his abilities to experience emotions of others. You can FEEL their love bright as the sun and dangerous and warm warm warm. You can FEEL Harry's desperate, guilty, hopeful and Draco's devoted, anxious, selfish and Charlie's safe, home, forgiven. And from all of them "There you are, my heart".
All characters (even ones in the background) are so well written and loved that sometimes it's hard to breathe. They're not static, they change and shift and morph into something new, something more, something genuine and pure and happy. They're building something out of nowhere with love and warmth and stubbornness and patience. Their love is infectious and while you read the story you fall for all of them a little bit (a lot).

Summary
Harry had known Malfoy had been working as a Curse-Breaker for the Ministry for about four years now. And all that time he’d been actively avoiding the git.
When Harry accepted his new position as Head of Auror Training, however, it quickly became clear that that wouldn’t be an option any longer.
And then there were those nights at the club.

It's soft and bright and a bit ridiculous. I like it

Summary
When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, there's unfortunately only one person in the country with the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It's obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Draco's never been able to back down from a challenge... especially from Potter.
Features fuzzy cartoon slippers, devious house elves, 90s music, and lots—LOTS—of memories. Ron is annoyingly hot, Hermione sees right through you, Harry is a powerful idiot, and Draco is a reclusive masochist that would buy an entire city if it would make a kid happy. (And Pansy is "5'2, I wanna dance with you, and I'm sophisticated fun.")

Bookmarker's Notes
It's one of the most deep and psychological story (among fanfiction I mean) I've ever read. It's a bit too explicit, yes, but every ounce of explicit content serves the purpose of revealing another layer of mental health issues, antoher knot of painful memories or causing another mask to shutter.
So exposed and vulnerable, so raw and passionate, so full of hope and sunshine smiles. So perfect.

Another good work of Saras_Girl. I really fancy her way of storytelling*____* It's so warm and donno... Homey? And a slow building of the relationship is a good thing too. She always manage to create such a colorful image. And not the last thing about it makes a rare gift to create surprisingly belivable and touchy background characters: in "Stop and stare" it was Harold (an alternatively gifted pheasant) here Solomon (the lonely frost snail who eventually decided to live wuth Draco and Harry)
