Warning: Tentacles

Yesterday pushdragon posted the latest of her bushfire drabbles ficlets. It is a Harry/Draco set in the Reliquary universe. *brain melt from the awesomeness* Duet for three voices God, I could just orgasm from the perfection of the title alone.

From the hd_worldcup:

fabulously funny art. When in Doubt. PG-13 but likely NWS. Bwahahahaha!

And The Mark of a Civilised Man by jamie2109. This fic is an absolute pleasure to read. Interesting and funny with a great little plot. I loved every minute of it.

From the Snarry-a-thon at snape_potter
A Match Made in Ottery St. Catchpole by anon. Such a delicious fic! At moments it was hilariously funny, heartbreakingly angsty and OMG melt my panties HOT. All together a very enjoyable read.

And here is the full list of fics and art for week three of the Snarry-a-Thon. Do check out the fantastic art. I wish i had time to rec it all!

I've been trying to find the time to do a rec post and failing miserably! But I really want to get something out before the weekend, so this is quick and dirty folks but with the best intentions behind it.

From hd_worldcup:

Title: Alpha and Omega
Team: AU
Author: thesamanthahope
Prompt: 21. A butterbeer a day keeps the mediwizard away.
Wordcount: ~8000
Rating: R
Warnings: Non-graphic sex, angst, character death (not Draco or Harry)
Summary: Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end ("Closing Time" by Semisonic)

Generally, illness fics are not my thing. Since the neither the summary nor the warnings said 'illness!fic' I had already printed it before I realised or I likely would not have read it. And what a shame that would have been! It was lovely. The ordeal of treating a dieing loved-one was treated with dignity, respect and humour. The entire fic was beautifully done. I cannot believe it has so few comments. o.O


From the Snarry-a-thon, (you need to be a member of snape_potter to view the naughty stuff). It is very worth it. And yes, I read Snarry. Not often, but when excellent fics are recced to me, I will usually take a look regardless of the pairing. And the quality of the fics coming out to this fest are fantastic. And not to mention the art! *melts*

ART:

Title: Wormwood and Asphodel NWS!
Rating: NC-17
Summary: This is my hommage to Klimt's frieze "Ode To Joy"
This art is glorious! The colours and the curves and … Harry's cock. LoL. But seriously, a masterpiece.

And really, all the art has been fantastic. Here's a link to the week 1 summary which has an easy link a bunch of fabulous art.

FIC:

Title: Seven Steps to Heaven
Other pairings/threesome: HG/RW
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 16,863
Summary: Severus should have died in the shrieking shack and gone on to enjoy a relaxing death in hell - or heaven. However, although he managed the first task, he fell short at the second. Now he's stuck in the land of the living, invisible to all but one person: Harry Potter.

Wonderfully written piece. A pleasure to read.

Title: An Awkward Customer
Rating: NC-17
Word count: ~10,000
Summary: Snape can't figure out why Potter is hanging around his shop.

The banter in this fic is love. A light and funny fic, cleverly written with a perfect Snape and Harry dynamic. Harry's ridiculously casual 'and to take you to dinner' and Snape's determination to ignore the offer is adorable.

Title: Cruel Language
Team: AU
Artist: nk_aoede
Prompt: 7. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words with a wand can definitely harm me.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Blood.
Summary: Sometimes you don't notice something until it's too late to do anything about it.

Blood. pain. snow. I think I'm in love. My favourite of the fest so far. Just ouch. Fucking, ouch! ok? But damn pretty. It's short, easy to follow. beautiful and painful. Go look.

eta: you know what else I really liked? Not only was it a terrific piece of art, but that it was clearly AU and that it fit the prompt so well. Not easy to manage all three requirements so perfectly.
