Insta-rec!

I just finished faithwood's The Ties That Bind Us!!!!

Yes, I realise that most of my flist has already read it while it was in WIP form. I patiently waited because I cannot take the tension of a WIP! But, OMG! It is sooooooo good. I like all of faith's work, but god this one had all of my favourite bits of her writing all wrapped up into one delicious old school Harry/Draco, first time, detention, porn-fest. So damn well done.

If you haven't read it yet:
Here, for multi-chapter lj posts
Here, for a 2 chapter googledoc

For those of you that read it while it was posted every second day... o.O HOW on earth did you manage that? I would have been pulling faith's my hair out!

I know! I can't do WIPs either! And it is so much fun saving it all up for a lovely all in one splurge. I really enjoyed it when I read it last weekend.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

hee! This one felt like a slurge too! Every chapter break I thought: she ended the chapter there!!! LOL.

[alovelycupoftea.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness yes! I would not have been able to cope with the chapter endings if I'd been following it as a WIP!

LOL! Some of us have learned self-control, my darling! *snickers* Although waiting until after Azkatraz to read the last bit almost KILLED me!!! So worth it though, I completely agree. :-D

Some of us have learned self-control, my darling!
hee! my self-control is not clicking past the title until the entire fic is posted. :)

ps: I can't wait to see what gets claimed at hd_fanart! w00t!

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

Me either!!! *flails* There are some awesome prompts. Almost makes me glad I'm not an artist. Too much to choose from. :-D

[beatnikspinster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! This reminded me that I want to go back and re-read it all at once. :)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

It is sooooo good all at once. My guess is that is was written that way and posted in tiny chunks. Some fics, you can feel the chapter breaks when you read it all together. This one, you cannot. ♥

I tried to wait. I managed until chapter 8. Then I caved and then the waiting was horrible!!!

But so nice and hot and perfect. :)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

hee! I almost gave in around that time. I'm glad I waited. ;)

Try reading right up to the second-last post, then going out of town (and away from the Internet) for a WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bah!

'Twas awesome, though. *sighs*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised there weren't printed copies of the last chapters being passed around the con. *g*

[remuslives23.livejournal.com]

faithwood is made of awesome! That fic is fabulous.

*wriggles then goes to read again*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

*keeps printed copy in nightstand* :D

[piratesmile331.livejournal.com]

It's such a great story, isn't it? I love the old school feel of it as well.
How are you, sweetheart?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I'm doing just fine. Crazy as always, but I have nothing to complain about (this minute, anyway) ♥

So glad you liked it, love!

And in my defense, I didn't write it and then tore it into tiny pieces. *laughs* I'm not that evil, honest! I just began posting to force myself to finish the story. Otherwise I'd still be writing it.

Oh, this was really fun. Thanks for another good rec! (Can you tell I'm working my way through my bookmarks today? LOL.)
