Dare To Think by @femmequixotic [E, 388k]
After recent events in New York, Seven-Four-Alpha are set to return back to London. They’ve captured their primary target, but by no means settled their case. […] Draco is reeling from his loss, and Harry is trying to be the best boyfriend he can, which may mean not being Draco’s guv any longer. Harry’s uncertain what his team’ll find as they press deeper in the investigation, but he knows they will all be tested, perhaps more than they can bear.
But they haven’t a choice, have they? It’s the bloody Death Eaters, after all, and the political integrity of Wizarding Britain and their magical allies hangs in the balance.
From Tales from the Special Branch series2.

Orbit by @henrymercury [E, 52k]
They don’t like each other. They’re not friends. There’s not even a ceasefire of any sort because they’re fighting as much as ever—but there’s definitely something different about it. An added layer of self-awareness they don’t dare identify, but which colours every Scared, Potter? and Do your worst; each You wouldn’t dare and Then prove it.

Harry Potter and the American Thief by aboutmalfoy [T, 50k]
At the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Voldemort is defeated, and Sirius not only lives on, but gains his long deserved freedom. Both agreeing that they need a fresh start, far away from the press and the trauma of their entire lives, Sirius and Harry decide to pick up and move to the United States. While his godfather settles down in a Boston, Massachusetts flat, Harry transfers to Ilvermorny to start his 6th year. But the American Wizarding school, as it turns out, isn’t exactly the quiet refuge Harry had been expecting. And what, for the love of Merlin himself, is Malfoy doing here?
7. Pharo by @stripedsilverfeline [M, 45k]
It is some years after the Battle of Waterloo and peace settles leerily over Muggle England and the Continent. […] The Viscount [Malfoy], darling of the Ton, faces a loss of face in the world of Polite Society, on par with the unfortunate Beau Brummell’s, and feels he must serve comeuppance to the villain, plus settle a few old scores along the way. Harry Potter, fellow veteran of Wizarding Waterloo and Malfoy’s longtime compatriot from their schooldays at Hogwarts, is of the decided opinion the Viscount goes much too far when he sets up a Pharo-Banque in his own drawing room, scheming to reverse his endangered fortunes.
