hd_holidays DAY TEN cont
At the Soundless Dawn
Summary: Voldemort won. Everything is over - or so Harry thinks. But maybe not all hope is lost...
TTALCOTCFRACC says: I usually steer clear of Voldemort won fics - but TTALCOTCFRACC means reading everything, and this is a nice little fic. Vampire!Draco FTW.
hd_holidays DAY ELEVEN
Not Just Another Cream Bun
Summary: After Eighth Year at Hogwarts, everyone seems to be getting on with their lives in various ways. In Malfoy’s case, this seems to involve a peculiar new shop on Diagon Alley, being stalked by a familiar bespectacled bumpkin and a dashing new apron.
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Draco wears an apron and beret. That is all. Also loved Greg in this!
A Helping Hand
Summary: Finally doing something about his failing magic, Harry is relieved to find out his illness can be fixed. But an unexpected side-effect might produce some surprising results.
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Lovely! Cute and funny and full of good banter!
hd_holidays DAY TWELVE
Parallel Lives
Summary: No matter where you are and what you do, things will still be the same. Even if you own a ship or make music. Two boys, one obsession. Each other.
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Incredible. Really awesome words and pictures, and a lovely way to tell this story.
Portrait of a Headmaster
Summary: When Death Eaters find their way into the Hogwarts portrait collection, the Headmaster is forced to work with the Head Auror to find a way to protect the castle, including their own children.
TTALCOTCFRACC says: I really enjoyed Draco's journey in this - a lovely story.
Darkstar
Summary: After the Ministry of Magic decides that Harry's Auror position is a liability, they offer him an alternative: become part of an international covert operations initiative. Joining the project means Harry must forsake everything he cherishes and learn things he never wanted to know about himself.
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Wow. Really twisty and good - and made my heart hurt a little. Even though I am not sure I am convinced that Harry would make the choice he makes in this - the first one anyway, I really enjoyed it.
hd_holidays DAY FOURTEEN (Day Thirteen - no fics/artses posted)
Unfamiliar Territory
Summary: In an effort to promote tolerance in the wake of the war, the "eighth year" students returning to Hogwarts are required to complete a Muggle Studies project - six months in the States, living among Muggles. With Draco for a roommate, how will Harry endure the trip?
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Adorable! A lovely having-to-live-together-and-falling-in-love-fic!
The Hogwarts Clerks
Summary: Harry is dragged from melancholy to help out his hard-up friends and reform the choir they begun after leaving Hogwarts. But a vital group member is missing…
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Sweet.
Everybody's Hero
Summary: With his new job as Deputy Head Auror, Harry is assigned an old task - to watch Draco Malfoy. When threats against Malfoy escalate, Harry finds himself torn between doing what is expected and doing what's right.
TTALCOTCFRACC says: Plotty, tightly written and with just the right mix of UST and misunderstandings. Love it!
hd_holidays DAY FIFTEEN
The Momentum of Volition
Summary: When Harry plays the hero yet again, he and Draco are catapulted into an adventure where personal choices, fate, and the paradox of time collide.
TTALCOTCFRACC says: An awesome fic that fits in time travel, paradoxes, character studies alongside DH canon and in less than 5000 words!
Sudden Wholeness
Summary: A series of magical murders threatens the future of Wizarding Britain, and the Ministry puts its top two Aurors on the case. Harry’s less than thrilled at the discovery that his new partner is none other than Draco Malfoy, but when the alternative is sitting back and letting his country be destroyed, he doesn’t have much of a choice.
TTALCOTCFRACC says: I really enjoyed this. Exciting and clever, with lovely UST!
