HP Recs

[marguerite_26]

Various pairings, though mostly H/D

[ART]
You Belong to Me by anon @ hd_holidays [NWS] Harry/Draco
Summary: Draco has a pet.

Fan by anon @ smutty_claus [NWS] Ginny/Draco
Summary: Ginny's playing Quidditch full time for the Holyhead Harpies. Draco comes to watch her play, but never seems to show any actual outward interest or team spirit during her matches. However, a secret fanboy lies within. :D


[FIC]
Harry Potter and the Problematic Partnership by anon @ hd_holidays Harry/Draco
Summary: Forced to work together on an important case within the Ministry, Harry and Draco find that if they're not letting their animosity get in the way, they might actually be brilliant together. For as long as the assignment lasts, at least.
Rating: R
Word Count: Approaching 25,000.

This fic sizzles with UST. The plot was fascinating and I got a little brain orgasm from all the clever ways that Harry and Draco used their complimentary skills to work together. But the UST and banter was really what sold me on this one. Delish.

At Your Service by anon @ hd_holidays Harry/Draco
Summary: Hogwarts students are in danger; Harry is determined to save them all. There's only one thing he knows for certain: Draco Malfoy is somehow involved.
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~96,000

I want to do this justice, because it deserves it. So I’ll first direct you to melusinahp’s rec but be warned that there are spoilers in the comments because it’s the sort of fic you want to talk about. This fanfic is unique in that it feels like a book 8 – which I’m afraid has become a trope as far as comments go. ‘wow! This could be book 8!’ but this one... actually could (if JKR wanted Harry and Draco to have explicit sex in her book). But outside of the pairing, the characters and the plot are done perfectly in JKRs style. The humour is true to the book humour. The way Harry ‘notices things’ (how his friends are acting, insignificant details) and as a reader you know these things are clues and you tuck them away because they are clearly important and you’ll need them later. And mixed in with all the typical collection of characters moving through eight year with an odd mystery you have this slow burning ~thing~ going on between Draco and Harry. This wasn’t using fanfic to ‘fix’ canon, but using fanfic to continue canon... with H/D as a reasonable possibility.

Scenes From An Affair by anon @ smutty_claus Hermione/James II
Summary: Hermione knows it's a mistake. She knows she'll hate herself tomorrow, but she'd rather live with the regret of saying yes than saying no.
Rating: NC-17
Length: 3107 words
Warnings: Adultery, Cross-gen

The structure of this fic is really interesting, I liked starting mid affair and working backward through the guilt and denial to the very moment of that first spark.

Thanks for the recs!!! I want to read 'At your service' so badly but I think it'll have to wait until after Christmas. Times like these I really wish I had a Kindle/e-reader!!!

yeah.. an e-reader definitely helps for a 95k fic!!! I got a tablet for my b-day and it's made a big difference in being able to read longer fics.

And that fic? It's worth reading whenever it is that find the time. I have no doubt that many people are bookmarking to read some rainy day. :)

Bookmarking the H/D fic, thanks!
