Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Rose Weasley/Scorpius Malfoy

Blurb: ”Don’t get too friendly with him, though, Rosie. Ganddad Weasley would never forgive you if you married a pureblood” (DH, pg 756) -and so it began. The story of Rose, daughter of Ron and Hermione Weasley and Scorpius, son of Asteria and Draco Malfoy. What makes this couple so intriguing however, is that we while we know quite a bit about their parent’s Hogwarts years, we know nothing about theirs beyond the fact that they are children of war heroes –or in the case of Scorpius, not a child of a war hero. The fandom is free to make up their personalities, houses, traits, feelings, etc and it has really led to some amazing stories about them in the almost three years since the 7th book was released. Below are some of my favorite Rose/Scorpius stories but believe me when I say this isn’t even a drop in the bucket, there are quite a few more good ones out there.

Thanks to everyone at [livejournal.com profile] scorpius_rose  for pointing out their favorites – and a special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] drcjsnider, [livejournal.com profile] the_birdnest, and [livejournal.com profile] queenb23more  for allowing me to abuse the heck out of their delicious bookmarks. (:


Fic Rec #1 - Chronicles: Rose Weasley had always considered Scorpius Malfoy one of the most annoying people she'd ever had the misfortune of meeting. This year, however, deep down, she realises... he's even worse.
Author: Josephinee
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 81,500 (26 chapters), PG-13

Why This Must Be Read: Rose is sarcastic. Scorpius even more so. Written in first person narrative this author manages to grab your attention from the first line: "Well, if it isn't the not-so-pretty Rose Weasley!" and take you on a rollercoaster of a ride. And as a bonus, there is even a completed sequel -Paramnesia.




Fic Rec #2 – Talk Nerdy to Me: Scorpius and Rose spend some time together in the library
Author: [livejournal.com profile] the_birdnest 
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 600, PG-13, Innuendo, snogging

Why This Must Be Read: It has nerdy!Scorpius, in the library, with Rose (I don’t know what else I can say to top that). This story also makes good uses of poems -“There once was a man from Nantucket”- and it has a clever ending. At 600 words, it is definitely one of those drabbles you remember long after you finish reading it.




Fic Rec #3 – Bound To Happen: Basically, it was all Ron's fault for pointing him out.
Author: Innocent Innuendo
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 10,000, PG-13

Why This Must Be Read: Written shortly after DH came out, this story follows Rose and Scorpius from their first days at Hogwarts to young adults. It’s fluffy, sweet yet with enough background and intrigue to keep it realistic. Definitely one of those stories that leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling afterwards.




Fic Rec #4 – A Brief History of a Beautiful Friendship: You came to know her as Rose the first day of first year Charms, when you heard her introduce herself to a nearby housemate.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] gingeraled 
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 2,500, R

Why This Must Be Read: Told in second person form, this fic is a beautiful look at the story of Rose and Scorpius during their Hogwarts years. Delightful and romantic, it’s a must read for any Rose and Scorpius fan.




Fic Rec #5 – Now or Never: There was no questioning that the competition with Scorpius Malfoy was right personal, and Rose Weasley intended to win at all costs. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, a different kind of conflict arose, and for the first time in her life, she was less than confident about conquering it.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] queenb23more 
Link: here or here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 170,000+, R WIP

Why This Must Be Read: This is often regarded as THE Rose and Scorpius story. Started shortly after DH (and before the release of the family tree) this story follows Rose and Scorpius through the perilous of Hogwarts, first love, family obligation and teenage drama. If you want a fabulous next gen fic that sucks you in even though you have to be up in five hours, this would be the story for you.




Fic Rec #6 – Rose Red and Lily White: It's a strange thing to watch your boyfriend and your best friend falling in love. It's stranger still when you realise it before they do.
Author:[livejournal.com profile] tania_sings 
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 2,500+, PG-13, Lily/Scorpius

Why This Must Be Read: This author manages to take the cliché of Scorpius-dates-Lily-but-he’s-in-love-with-his-best-friend-Rose and turn it on it’s head. Told through the eyes of Lily, this story shows just how natural and real Rose and Scorpius are with each other and if the ending doesn’t leave you just a bit melancholy and wanting to hug Lily, then I think you should go back and re-read. Seriously.



Fic Rec #7 - The Inheritance: Scorpius Malfoy is in serious trouble. When he can't turn to his family or his friends for help, he ends up on Rose Weasley's doorstep.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] drcjsnider 
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 9,400/NC-17/Language, Graphic Sex

Why This Must Be Read: One of my favorite Scorpius/Rose stories; Scorpius is on the run, Rose is a reporter, they banter like a couple out of a 1940’s screwball comedy and the sexual tension between them is off the charts. READ IT NOW.




Fic Rec # 8 - Playing Games: Rose Weasley accidentally crashes one of Scorpius Malfoy's secret naughty games. Winning this game is difficult, but Rose is nothing if not ambitious. She quickly realises that the consequences of her ambitions reach further than she had first thought, though; now the game won't stop.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] akashathekitty 
Link: part one, part two
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 17500+/R/ Explicit Sexual Situations, Mild Kinks, Sexual Themes, Unrelieved Sexual Tension

Why This Must Be Read: This story is pretty much one giant game of chicken, spin the bottle, seven minutes in heaven and truth or dare with a cocky Rose and a even cockier Scorpius thrown together. The author deems it smutless smut, but let me tell you, you will LOVE smutless smut once you are done reading this.




Fic Rec #9 – Lesson’s Learned: My shrink says I repress feelings and emotions. She told me once that I have trouble “admitting reality” to myself. Now, I don’t know if that's true. After all, I don’t have the fancy Psychological Healing degree, do I?
Author: loveadubdub
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s):216,000+ (51 chapters), R, Language

Why This Must Be Read: I guarantee that you will start off hating Rose in this fic. Absolutely hate her. As well as James, Albus, Lily and about 80% of the other next gen kids. While Lessons Learned is the second in a trilogy, it can be read on its own. Be aware though, that these next gen kids are not all flowers and sunshine like other next gen kids. They are spoiled, mean, snarky, bitchy, self-centered and annoying. But this story is spectacular in the way that the author uses their flaws to her advantage and makes her characters human and realistic. Her characterization of Scorpius is among my favorites of fanfics. As a bonus, there is a sequel- Finding the Future




Fic Rec #10 - Escapism: An accidental run-in at the end of seventh year could have long term repercussions for Scorpius and Rose.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] potterhead37 
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s):8,900, R

Why This Must Be Read: Rose and Scorpius get drunk on Firewhiskey. Cuteness, sexiness, adorableness and hysterical banter insues. Need I say more?




Fic Rec #11 - Chances: Scorpius is scared. Scorpius is in shock. Scorpius is confused. Scorpius is angry. Scorpius is groggy. Scorpius is scared again. Five times Scorpius doesn't kiss Rose and one time he does, as they go through six moments in Hogwarts and come full circle.
Author: Violin Ghost
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 3,500, PG

Why This Must Be Read: This is one of those five times stories that works out PERFECTLY. Told in little glimpses sprinkled throughout Rose and Scorpius’ years at Hogwarts, it tells a very likable and charming story. It's too adorable NOT to enjoy.




Fic Rec #12- Delicate: Rose ‘Red’ Weasley is pregnant."I’m not old enough to become a mother! I barely know how to tie my shoes!" She's trying to adjust to the news."I’m never leaving this bathroom again." She’s not taking it well."I could live on toothpaste and shampoo." In fact, she’s lost her mind. This is her story.
Author: padfoot4ever

Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 146,00 (35 chapters), R, Strong Language, Mild Violence, Teenage pregnancy

Why This Must Be Read: Winner of the 2008 Dobby Award for Most Addicting Story; 16 year old Rose has just discovered she's pregnant after having a one night stand with Scorpius Malfoy. It sounds like quite a few other fan fictions out there but what makes this story stand out is the characters. Rose is sarcastic, cynical and known to over react to most situations yet we still root for her. Scorpius isn’t perfect by any means yet still easily likable. With a sequel already in progress -Still Delicate, this story is by far a must read.




Fic Rec #13 - Secrets and Second Chances: An older Rose and Scorpius meet after each experiences a failed marriage to someone else. But repairing damage, personal and political, takes more than either bargained for.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] potterhead37 
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 120,000 words (24 chapters), NC-17

Why This Must Be Read: It is rare to find adult Rose and Scorpius stories. It is even rarer to find a half decent one. This one isn’t half decent, it’s brilliant. With a Rose and Scorpius who have lived long enough to know what they want and what they don’t want, it tells the story of them picking up the pieces of their lives. Together.




Fic Rec #14 - Scorpius Malfoy Learns Quidditch: fifth-year Scorpius doesn't know how to answer when his dorm mates ask him what hoops he's scored through with Rose. So they give him a little Quidditch lesson.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] a_respite 
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 2,500, R, sexual innuendo

Why This Must Be Read: Teenage boy’s locker room humor? Check. Sexual innuendo? Check. A Rose that just MIGHT have a idea of what those boys are talking about? Double check. This story is one of my personal favorites.




Fic Rec #15 - Among Thorns: Two friends. Two families. One question. One fight. Three years of separation. When Rose and Scorpius are thrown together again, can they figure out what went wrong before it's too late to regain what they lost? And can either of them ever truly be satisfied with the answer?
Author: [livejournal.com profile] realmer06 
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 13,000+ words (3 chapters), PG-13

Why This Must Be Read: A wonderful look at a post breakup relationship. All the characters are wonderfully written, and the situations the author puts them all in are absolutely amazingly and realistic -your heart cannot help but ache for both Rose and Scorpius. By the time you finish the story you will not be able to stop yourself from clicking on the companion story from Scorpius’ POV -Fighting Briars.




Fic Rec #16 - Our Little Secret: It was like a wizard tale. The clever Slytherin helps a hag who later repays the debt. Except that Rose Weasley wasn't a hag, and Scorpius didn't expect to call in the favour.
Author: Kerichi
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 76,000 words (23 chapters), PG-13

Why This Must Be Read: Rose and Scorpius are a delight to read in this story, the romance is lovely and probably one of my favorite aspects of this fic is seeing the extended Weasley and Malfoy family members make random appearances only added to the overall enjoyment. All together with a side of mystery thrown in makes for a EXCELLENT way to waste spend your time.




Fic Rec #17 - Cover Story: Everything about Rose's association with Scorpius is competitive and has been since they were eleven and both sorted into Slytherin House, where they engaged in many spectacular rows throughout their school years and continuing into their professional lives when they were both hired as staff writers for Witch Weekly.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] queenb23more 
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s):4,700+, NC-17, sexual content, language

Why This Must Be Read: Because I said so. (No really, I mean it). Rose and Scorpius are a delight to read and the sex between them is very well written and executed. While this author has written quite a few Rose/Scorpius stories, this remains one of my favorites (probably because of the way it wraps up). It’s just golden.




Fic Rec #18 - Five Times Scorpius Malfoy Caught Rose Weasley Drinking:Scorpius has serious plans for his life and he is determined that no one, especially Rose Weasley, is going to distract him.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] drcjsnider 
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 3,300+, PG-13

Why This Must Be Read: This fic takes the cliché of drinking games and five time fics and wraps it up in a neat bow full of snarky!Slytherin!Rose and perfect HeadBoy!Scorpius. The storyline is different, the characters are well fleshed out and really, it’s a perfect addition to any day.




Fic Rec #19 - The One Who Was Always There: Will it really take a Bludger to the head to make Rose Weasley realise that Scorpius Malfoy was the one who had always been there?
Author: brokenstitches
Link: here
Word Count/Rating/Warning(s): 5,000 words, PG

Why This Must Be Read: One of my favorite Rose/Scorpius oneshots, this was written shortly after DH and tells the story of Rose and Scorpius relationship/friendship through a series of lovely flashbacks.




Fic Rec #20 - In Need of Some Good Advice: Needing help when it comes to his relationship with Rose, Scorpius receives some unsolicited advice from a few unlikely sources.
Author: [livejournal.com profile] the_birdnest 
Link: here
WordCount/Rating/Warning(s):33,000 (5 chapters), NC-17, profanity

Why This Must Be Read: It's the classic Rose and Scorpius coming together story but done wonderfully. There is miscommunication, angst, nerdy!cousins and more. It is truly one of the gems.
