Title: In the Dusk of Early Winter
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: R [sexy, NWS!]
This is so damn fantastic. I love the way the entire room and the boys' bodies are all in a muted twilight feel and then the shimmer of the highlights just pop: the silver trim of the chaise, the highlighting of the hair and the JEWELRY! Draco's RING!!! YAY!!! This so passionate, yet a quiet sort of romantic moment at the end of the day. I adore it. And can I just say that Draco's subtle smile has so much depth to it? Like it's almost a 'non-expression' but then you look at those sexy eyes and the lips seems to curl. jfsjfdjlfs!!! So wonderfully done.

FIC

Title: Slick n’ Easy
Pairings: Harry/Draco, Draco/Astoria, Astoria/other, and Ron/Hermione, with fleeting mentions of past Harry/Ginny
Summary: When Astoria Malfoy is investigated for opening an underground lubricant business targeted at Muggles (to painful effect), an irate Draco comes to Harry, though Harry doesn't quite know why. What Harry does know is that he’s noticing very odd things about Malfoy. (Who knew Malfoy had such long eyelashes?)
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): Infidelity but not between canon pairing and not very explicit, dark and inappropriate humour, arsehole!Zacharias. Oh, and dirty sex.

A really fun fic, with some laugh out loud moments and a hot like burning sex scene. It brought a nice big smile to my face.

A fun little adventure through the Forest that starts with a nnnnnngh voyeur moment. Fun and Sexy with lots of homages to canon moments.

This fic is deliciously plotty! Draco is opening a new potions shop, and the Ministry wants Harry to assume the role of 'body guard' while actually digging up dirt on Draco, an interesting plot that is well executed. I love all the build up and the mystery of everything that is going on. Excellent UST between the boys and Ron and Hermione are both well portrayed. Really great fic.
