2009 Holiday Fests – Post 6

Recipient: nolagal (lucky dog!)
Title: A Life So Very Much Less Than Ordinary
Pairings: Harry/Luna. Background Ginny/Scorpius and Teddy/James. Appearances by Albus, Lily and a bit of Kingsley. Cameo by a very unimpressed Draco Malfoy.
Summary: When his wife leaves him for a man half her age, Harry has trouble getting back on the horse. His children, bless them, don't make it much easier.
Rating: NC-17
Length: ~33,000 words
Warnings: Infidelity (see summary), but more in terms of moving on than dwelling on the act itself. All sexual activity is among consenting adults (even dear Scorpius is 20), with a tiny reference to Teddy/James at 24/17. Epilogue-compliant but not interview-compliant (ie: Luna has never married).
*DEEP BREATH* ok. I need to sound coherent. Jfsjfsjl!!! No, wait that didn't come out right!!! How about: GO READ THIS RIGHT NOW!!! Yes, that's better. Wot? You don't read het? The main pairing is Huna? Bah! This fic is fabulous, and skipping over it because of the main pairing just makes me all sad face! :( <- see! Just… read the first two scenes. Jdfjdljfklsd!!! If you aren't hooked, well. Ok. But seriously the characters in this fic sparkle with their brilliance. Teddy/James threaten to steal the show. Heavens, Draco – who only appears in the form of snarky letters – threatens to steal this fic. But put all together this amazing montage has created one of the very best fully Epilogue-compliant fics I have ever, ever read. It is so. Damn. Funny that the 33k just flies by. Please give it a chance. Only those of you with serious infidelity squicks are exempt from my plea. :) Now – Go READ. If I were giving out hearts, it would have 4 without question.

MINE!!! I ♥ this fic! I might just have a wee little bondage kink, but that doesn't mean I like all bondage fic, but this, THIS!!!! Draco was just PERFECT being embarrassed and defensive and pushing Harry just PERFECT trying to figure out what is really going on with Draco. It is hot and sexy and passionate and you gives just enough depth to Draco's need to make just... perfect. God. I. LOVE. THIS. FIC.

Title: Mistletoe
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Warnings: None.
Prompts: Number 20 — A reluctant kiss beneath the mistletoe
This is a darling piece of art that I'm sure might get missed by people who are not following the mini_fest and that would be a terrible shame!!! An excellent Harry/Draco Holiday art that literally made me laugh out loud. And God, I adore this artist's style and sense of humour.

Hi. I'm new to your journal. *waves* I thought I would drop in to announce that for the first time in this fandom, I'm off to read 33,000 words of het and I am excited about it. =) Thanks for posting your recs!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

welcome! :D
YAY!!!! I'm so so happy to hear that you are giving it a try!

I hope you enjoy it. Most of my reading is slash, but a fabulous het fic is still a fabulous fic in my books. :D

[okydoky.livejournal.com]

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Indeed! It's a gem. (and god, you read fast! I can't believe how fast your comment went up!)

very welcome.

OMG the Harry/Luna story is the bomb! I'll have to comment on it later, but the word MF will make me laugh every time I hear it from now on (Ginny/Scorpius FTW).

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

It is! It was so not what I expected with Harry/Luna but then the Ginny/Scorpius just created all these amazing possibilities with everyone and their dog weighing in on the situation.

Yes, MF!!! hahahahahah! I laughed my arse off with that one! and God, Draco's 'get it up for your wife again' owls. *dies*
