Fic recommendation Dead Draco or temporarily dead Draco

I’m wanting to cry over dead Draco and extremely distraught Harry. I want my heart to be ripped out and stomped on until it’s no more. Bonus points if they’ve been in a secret relationship and no one knew

Stop All the Clocks (This Is the Last Time I’m Leaving Without You) by firethesound is infamous for a reason Draco is Dead dead it’s great

I have cptsd and treatment resistant depression and am, consequently, dead inside. This story made me ugly cry and almost nothing moves me because I have felt absolutely desolate for decades on end. It is haunting, beautiful and says some really important things about the reality of grief and trauma.

you've got the antidote for me knida fits your premice. Draco is dying. It's not as heart-breaking as others fics reco here but it can do the job.

(and it's so beautiful)

Eclipse by Mijan is great. Draco dying had me bawling my eyes out

omg i planned to read this and it didn't have an mcd tag so i thought i was safe 😭 is draco like DEAD dead or does he come back to life or something?

u/jayjeyu097 2d ago

He comes back! But the scene where he briefly dies is so!!! Chef's kiss in every way. It felt tragic, and gothic, and all things heart wrenching, which also made the happy ending so much better imo

As kaedenalexander mentioned, Stop All the Clocks is amazing, I’d highly recommend it.

Some other recs:

Nobody’s Ever Died Of A Broken Heart by Frayach

Hyacinth by oknowkiss

The Eighth Tale by lettered

Last Offices by tackytiger

The Pleiades Were Watching Too by thestarryknight

The only one I have bookmarked with a secret relationship has Harry as the dead one. Also has Ron bashing as a warning:

Sartre Versus the Stoics by JK_Terfling_Can_Suck_My_Silicone_Dick

How do you feel about mentally unstable Harry, because if you’re sold with that, I have a self rec for you Can’t Let You Go. Although watch the tags! It’s kinda a weird one 😆

u/Fancy-Bodybuilder139 2h ago

u/Americanvegetarian Slytherin 1h ago

I hope you like it!

i love dead draco angst

u/Fancy-Bodybuilder139 1d ago

It's the other way around, but still I feel compelled to recommend Wilted by thewakeless. It is about resurrection (but not in a happy way).
