Fandom: Harry Potter
Title: Headway
Pairing/Character Focus: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter
Author: Seefin
What makes this a gem: This fic is... something. It's from Ron's point of view and how he sees Harry and Draco's developing relationship. I don't know how else to describe it other than having a quiet sadness - it's not angst completely, but Ron, Hermione and Harry had a more than friends relationship, and it has now... ended for lack of a better term, and it's Ron describing having to let Harry go is heart-wrenching in it's own way. This fic does have its funny moments, and the way the author writes all of their interactions make them see natural and organic - they could be your friends which you see down the pub every other week. I love this fic, and I would love for you to read this and also love this fic!

What makes this a gem: So, I'm going to start this by saying I'm a sucker for AUs, especially canon-divergent ones! This fic both is and isn't an AU, which I would explain more of but... spoilers! I love the writing style that this author has, it makes all of the scenes feel natural but also high-tension in spots where it is needed. I particularly love the characterisation of Harry in this one - he's clearly affected by the war and all of the events leading up to it, and I feel as though the author's take on it is fresh and new. I love Ginny in this fic, I love Ron in this fic, I love Hermione in this fic and Draco, of course. Which is basically everyone! Quite a number of the interactions are both hilarious and heart-wrenching, but I'm also a big softie so that's quite possibly just me tearing up over here! Fair warning though, this fic is still a WIP, but the author has no plans on abandoning it, so please read and love and enjoy it because, quite frankly, it contains the writing that I would love to see more of in the HP fandom.
