hd_holidays DAY SEVEN
At the Boiling Point
Summary: Harry reckons being a professor's assistant at Hogwarts should be fun. That is, as long as Malfoy can learn to stay the hell away from him. [Nc17]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: This is an interesting twist on the 8th year genre. I liked the concept of the wandless magic, especially.
Secretary Tuesdays, or: Things Unspoken
Summary: Every Tuesday, Head Auror Harry Potter gets a new secretary, until one day he hires Draco Malfoy, who is oddly determined to find out why. [PG]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Sweet, funny and with a mystery plot!
Diaspora
Summary: Would wizards still be wizards in a magic-less world? [PG]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: I really liked the idea explored in this fic, and I liked the storytelling.
Invisible to the Naked Eye
Summary: Blinded in a surprise attack, Draco is learning to feel what he can’t see. [PG13]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: I really enjoyed this - I do like a bit of hurt/comfort. Lovely characterisation of Ron, too.
hd_holidays DAY EIGHT
Aurors in Neverland
Summary: When you're training to be an Auror its par for the course that at some point you're going to get knocked out. What I hadn't bargained on was waking up afterwards in the middle of a mermaid's lagoon with Draco sodding Malfoy, surrounded by a load of kids in animal costumes while being held at swordpoint by a psychotic pixie and a bloke that looks like he's eaten too much cabbage. Yeah...I hadn't expected green people. [G]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: I really like their outfits! So much detail - take a long look!
Fragile Pleasure Here on Earth I Find
Summary: Sometimes, Harry looks at Draco, and sometimes Harry knows Draco is looking at him, and there are even times when they see one another between the shadows, silhouetted in pain and shaking in despair. It is in these latter moments that Harry knows something is wrong inside him. It is in such moments Harry wants to reach for Draco, whether out of comfort or pity or some deeper connection. Knowing this, he hesitates. [R]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Beautiful writing.
The Art Of Telling A Lie
Summary: Harry has become very good at lying. To himself. [NC17]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: I really liked it, but ambiguous ending! *is a wuss*
hd_holidays DAY NINE
Peeping Tom
Summary: Harry has been assigned to keep surveillance on Draco Malfoy, the person whom he has secretly been dating. [R]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Sweet!
Soaring
Summary: Draco Malfoy is reaching the half-way point of his eighth year of Hogwarts, post-war. Though things are back to normal Draco feels haunted, suffocated, broken by his past. And he can’t be fixed. Can he? [NC17]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: A really lovely story. Fab first kiss!
In Treatment
Summary: For the first time in his life, Draco hated his punctuality. [PG13]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Interesting. I liked the neurotic!Draco.
hd_holidays DAY TEN
Magic and Miracles
Summary: Christmas has long been the season of miracles, which is a very good thing when you find yourself in need of one. [NC17]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Gorgeous. Warm and sweet but a sad moment in the middle! I love established relationship fics, and this is a wonderful one.
Barter System
Summary: Draco has information Harry needs. Just how far is he willing to go for it? [NC17]
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Lol, somehow I don't think it's a one-time thing!
Two...Four...Six...
Summary: Eastern Europe has an interesting inhabitant.[NC17] (My summary)
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Lovely. I especially like their hands in the first panel.

BONUS REC!
From mini_fest
Weasleys' Family Christmas - this is really lovely warm picture. Fabulous details.
My yummy rec? Mint chocolate ice-cream. Chocolate and mint is such a perfect combination. And yes, I know, it is cold to be eating ice-cream, but nummy!
