Christmas time on LJ in the Harry/Draco fandom means hd_holidays!
I decided, since I have the time, to read as much fic as I possibly can. I also want to leave some simple reviews for my future self and for those of you who don't have time to read everything and want to find the good ones easily.
Stars are just based on how I enjoy each. One star on my scale is like 4 on a 5-star scale.
** Party of Two - I liked this one. I loved how Draco, a robe shop owner/designer, sent Harry lots of clothes to wear for promotional purposes. I loved the drinking (and there's a lot of it). It also has great dialogue/banter. It features the boys as drinking buddies turned friends with benefits, where the benefits package gets upgraded quite happily.
*** Humbug (A Christmas Tale) - Such a great idea for a fic! And luckily it delivered! It's a retelling of the classic A Christmas Carol where Draco is Scrooge. My heart melted a little for Draco when the things in his present and future were happening and he realized how important Harry really is to him. And when Harry admitted to Hermione that he might love Draco, ahhh so good!
* Snowstorms and Interventions - This is a sweet Hogwarts-era fic. I really enjoyed Hermione and Pansy in cahoots to get the silly lovestruck-yet-completely-oblivious boys together.
**In Plain Sight - I love mysterious illnesses/spells. This one is well-written and interesting. I think the beginning and middle are better than the end.
***Harry Potter and the Problematic Partnership - Another mystery illness! Harry and Draco work together to solve an attempted murder. Well written, great dialogue, and very nice ending. Loved it!
**Every Fifteen Seconds - Ahhhh soo good. That is all.
**Falling Slowly - So good. Suspicious Harry and a work-obsessed Draco. So perfectly in character and so so good. I want a sequel to this one!
