November HP Recs
I think there are three new fics/art this month, but the majority of these recs are for older works. Finally had a chance to work my way through my "re-read" and "to-read" list! I always feel so accomplished when I finally get to something I've been meaning to read for ages.
Title: Faultless
Author: lomonaaeren
Pairings: Harry/Draco
Word Count: 3,300
Rating: Hard R
Content/Warnings: established relationship, bottom!harry, implied switching
Summary: Draco hates the iPhone Harry got him for Christmas, but he uses it because Harry got it for him. And sometimes, it really is worth it.
Fun and sexy fic with Draco's phone auto-correcting a text and some misunderstandings leading to hot and sweet sex!
Title: Kailash, When it Rises
Author: mirabella
Rating: PG
Pairing: Draco/Harry preslash
Word Count: 3,633
Content/Warnings: AU: Hogwarts Era
Summary: Harry can't sleep.
Another one of those fics I read ages ago, and then never got around to reccing. This might not technically be Hogwart Era AU, but it's at the very least a War AU. Anyways, beautiful writing, with a really lovely characterization of Harry. Capture his feelings for Draco so wonderfully and the style is gorgeous and gripping.
Title: and there grows in the mind a scent
Author: megyal
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 5,822
Warnings/Content: veela!draco, creature!fic, bottom!harry, mild xenophilia
Summary: A Veela has killed their Mate. It's a devastating case that brings the Acting Head Auror and the Wizard-Veela Liaison Officer together again.
Lovely, poignant fic with a wonderfully real look at the veela trope. I thought the case was beautifully heartbreaking, and the depth of Harry's emotion for Draco (and vice versa) came across really well. Plus, hot riding with veela transformation! :D
Title: Hot and Cold
Author: who_la_hoop
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 7,800
Content/Warnings: auror!harry, auror!draco, hp concrit fest 2014
Summary: Harry had an inkling as he checked out his surroundings - a gloomy forest, dusted with snow, and featuring one hundred per cent more Draco Malfoy than was comfortable - that his first Auror practical exam was not going to go as well as he'd hoped...
This fic was super funny and super sexy! Loved their characterizations and interactions here and the sex was wonderfully hot! :D
Title: Pomegranate
Author: treacle_tartlet
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, background Luna/Pansy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 14,402
Warnings/Content: unusual jobs, chef!draco, switching, bottom!draco, bottom!harry, hd career fair 2009
Summary: More than a decade after the War, Draco makes a triumphant return to the wizarding world as the successful chef/owner of Pomegranate, only to have his world thrown into disorder when Harry arrives unexpectedly in the dining room.
LOVED chef!Draco here, his characterization is so great, and he really is so perfect as a snooty, perfectionist chef. Loved his interactions with Harry and the sex was super hot. Plus adorable ending! :D
Title: The Astronaut Phase and sequelet Gravity
Author: pushdragon
Pairing: Harry/Draco, past Harry/Ginny
Rating: NC-17
Word count: ~17,000 & ~700
Content/Warnings: auror!harry, criminal!draco, bottom!harry, first time
Summary: This is for twistedm. It's a little bit of Harry/Draco whimsy inspired by her comment that rather than casting Ginny as a villain, she prefers to see her "doing something amazing and feminist and far, far away.
Really interesting fic that has Ginny as an astronaut, and Harry sort of moorless in his staid life. And then Draco comes along whose sexy and interesting and just sucks him into his orbit. Super sexy and wonderfully written.

Word Count: 6,200
Warnings/Content: shared bed, intergluteal sex, hp concrit fest 2014

Really wonderful fic showing James and Sirius' friendship and their growing feelings when Sirius goes to stay with the Potters. I thought the characterizations were really wonderful here, and their chemistry was super hot!
Title: That Bitch Alcohol
Author: gryffindorj
Pairing(s): Albus Severus/Scorpius, side of Teddy/James Sirius
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 8,500
Warnings: drunk!sex, bottom!scorpius, hp nextgen fest 2012
Summary: Albus regrets many things, but mostly he regrets getting drunk and sleeping with Scorpius, something he managed to avoid for years. Now Albus can't get him out of his mind.
I loved Al and Scorpius here, such a great dynamic, and Al just cocking everything up because he's trying so hard to not be what people expect, that he's ignoring what he wants. I really adored the background Teddy James and the sibling banter between James and Al was fabulous!
