[livejournal.com profile] hd_inspired recs:

Title: A Matter of Life or Death ♥ ♥
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, Hermione/Ron
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Auror partners Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are known for bending and breaking the rules with such frequency, it comes as a surprise to everyone when they actually do follow protocol. After Malfoy ends up in hospital, Harry wonders if their luck has finally run out.
Warnings (if any): EWE, *there’s a spoilery warning you can see at the link if you wanna – I think you should resist!*
Total word count: ~ 11,000
This fic had the potential for MAJOR angst, but I think it carried its ‘totally angsty’ plot very well and it found a nice balance. I thoroughly enjoyed the Harry/Draco dynamic throughout.

Title: Earthed ♥ ♥ ♥
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco preslash
Rating: PG
Summary: The 7th year students were meant to become friends and learn more about a foreign culture, but unexpected circumstances force them to face more than they were prepared for.
Warnings (if any): character death
Total word count: 2,500
um, wow. 2500 words eh? So much happened in this tiny little fic. This is the plane crash prompt that I secretly hoped would be short because it could be written as a 100k angst fest that would break me into pieces. Instead this is an incredibly powerful, moving ficlet that made my imagination work for it and kept me thinking long after I finished.

Title:
Transfixured: Snugs and Slails
♥ ♥
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco mainly, Ron/Hermione, Neville/his retinue
Rating: NC-17
Summary: “Well, we had a nice run. It was the strangest of times, but I’ll remember the inanity of it with a wistful fondness. Harry and Draco. Partners, mates. Dancing to silly music in a deserted room. Slugs with benefits. Yes. A nice run. Strange, but nice.”
Warnings: Foul language, sexual references/sex, sexual innuendoes featuring references to slug mating habits, especially the really gross ones.
Total word count: About 37,700.
An adorable cracktastic response to Cal’s cracktastic prompt. Slugs+Slime+Sex! My brain exploded somewhere there. Please note the warning: sexual innuendoes featuring references to slug mating habits, especially the really gross ones. LMAO!

ART REC
Title:
Greenhouse 3
♥ ♥
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, Neville
Rating: R
Summary: Neville will never again look at a plant without blushing.
Warnings: Boys shagging, but all the good stuffs hidden.
Gorgeous greenhouse! Oh, and SEX! :D Sorry, I suck at reccing art.

Title:
Survival Instinct
♥ ♥ ♥
Pairings: Harry/Draco (minimal Ron/Hermione and Neville/Ginny)
Rating: NC-17 for sex and violence
Summary: Voldemort has issued a proposition: if Harry Potter will return to Hogwarts for his seventh year, no harm will come to the students’ families. Harry’s saving-people-thing won’t let him say no.
Warnings: Explicit torture, bad language, frottage, wanking, very, very slight dubious consent.
Total word count: 39,000
Excellent re-write of DH. Take all that camping crap and give it to Ron and Hermione! Take all the fun torture and rebellion of Hogwarts under Snape and the Carrows and give it to Harry, Neville, Ginny and Luna. Throw a reluctant Draco in the mix and you’ve got terrific adventure!

ART REC
Title:
Baucis
♥ ♥ ♥
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: G
Summary: Draco, stuck inside Baucis (Hogwarts) because of his arm, looks down at the Earth.
Warnings (if any): None
This is awe inspiring. The picture, the words… they are just… wow. I honestly can’t say that I truly understand everything that is happening – I’m looking forward to hearing more from the artist after reveals- but I could happily stare at this for hours trying to understand it all and happily failing.

Title:
The Devil You Know
♥ ♥ ♥
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco (preslash) (Estranged Draco/Astoria, past Harry/Ginny)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning. - Ivy Baker Priest, in Parade, 1958
Warnings: Epilogue-compliant, disturbing conduct by a minor (including a brief episode of animal cruelty)
Total word count: appx. 14,400
The premise of this fic is fascinating and I was thrilled someone took it on. And now BEYOND thrilled that they did such an amazing job. This is an incredible story. What is happening with Scorpius is damn creepy. ::shivers:: And I love Draco’s reaction to it all, not denying what is happening but willing to defend Scorpius at all costs. Great fic.
