Helloooo from your February reccer!!
So sorry I didn't get a chance to get in here before now, but I have several recs to begin with for this lovely month. Harry and Draco are the perfect couple to read about over Valentine's Day, are they not? A few of my faves...
Title:Big Dick, Come Quick
Author: calanthe_fics
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 204,473
Warnings: Adult Language, Sexual Content, Voyeurism/Exhibitionism
Summary: Draco’s got a theory. About sex. And after much searching for the right candidate, it appears that only Harry Potter, his life long enemy, can help him test it out.
Why I loved it: Ok, we've all read this, right? But I had to post it in case someone hadn't, because this is hands down my fave, fave, fave fic ever. It's sexy... oh, goodness, is it sexy. It's also romantic, sweet, funny, and... sexy!! Read it, won't you?

Title:Love Always, Draco
Author: newshound
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 393,673
Warnings: Adult Language, Angst, OC, Sexual Content
Summary: Even though it’s been four years since Harry and Draco parted ways, when Harry’s career takes a nosedive, he turns to his past for help. Harry and Draco join forces on a project both hope will reinvigorate their lives, and a journey into the secret world of Quidditch, becomes the path to renewed love.
Why I loved it: This is, like, the ultimate breakup fic. Things went so wrong for the boys, but there's still so much passion there. We see so much of their relationship through each of their eyes that we can't help but feel for both of them and to cheer for them as they stumble into each other again and again. The original characters add a lot to the story. Their happy ending is a long time coming, but it's a wonderful ride along the way - sads and happies both.

Title:In the Bleak Midwinter
Author: oldenuf2nb
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 10,980
Warnings: Angst, Sexual Content, Hurt/Comfort
Summary: Draco Malfoy is bound and determined that this Christmas celebration be perfect. What he discovers, with help from an unlikely source, is that perfection isn't necessary for something to be 'right'.
Why I loved it: Of course it's good if oldenuf2nb wrote it, right? This is no exception. I love this because it's so good to see how much Draco loves Harry. It's no secret that he hasn't treated him right, but when he realizes that you can feel his pain and desperation to fix things. I love both of the boys here so much.

And since I opened up my oldenuf2nb files, here are a couple more of my faves (that haven't already been posted here)!
Title:Moving Beyond Regret
Author: oldenuf2nb
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 10,363
Warnings: Adult Language, Angst, Hurt/Comfort
Summary: What happens when we let others define our relationships for us?
Why I loved it: Sooo good. Ill!Harry being taken care of by Draco, who still cares for him despite their failed relationship, plus that gorgeous moment when they return to each other. Love this so much.
~~
Title:If Wishes Were Children
Author: oldenuf2nb
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 15,165
Warnings: Adult Language, Angst, mPreg, Sexual Content, Hurt/Comfort
Summary: Harry Potter has tried to move on with his life after Draco Malfoy walked away from him months before with little or no explanation, but it's been hard. Then, on a joyous day at the Burrow, Narcissa Malfoy makes an unexpected appearance...
Why I loved it: This is just lovely. And there are several shorter fics on her Hex Files page that fall into this 'verse.
~~
Title:Forbidden
Author: minks
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 48,959
Warnings: Adult Language, Angst, Sexual Content
Summary: A curse gone wrong brings Harry and Draco together, and the bond they forge provides Harry with "power the Dark Lord knows not."
Why I loved it: Hogwarts-era love can be so wonderful, and this is one that proves it. The boys have a lot to overcome but they make it work.
~~
Title:Malfoy Child
Author: Vorabiza
Rating: PG
Word Count: 98,020
Warnings: Angst
Summary: A potions accident turns Draco into a four-year-old and Harry takes over his care for the next four months.
Why I loved it: I LOVE DE-AGING FICS. This one and the next one I'm posting are 2 of my favorites. I love both the boys so much here, and Snape as well. We all know Biza's "Secrets," yes? A classic fic, it is, and this one is as well. Give it a read.
~~
Title:To the Moon
Author: Constant Vigilance
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 37,224
Warnings: Adult Language, Angst, Incest, Non-Con
Summary: Draco is turned into a child. Harry takes care of him.
Why I loved it: I LOVE DE-AGING FICS. This breaks your heart for little Draco, because he's been through so much and it's clearly shaped who he became. You hurt for Harry, too, because he loves Draco already, in secret, and finding out so much about his childhood makes it that much more unbearable for him. I love Crabbe and Goyle here. While you're there, please look at the author's Hex Files page and read through her other work - I could be here for days reccing it all, but there are SO MANY good fics. Corruptela Vox; Veritas; To Hurt, To Heal; Save Me; Retreat; Punished; Fidelius; Engorgio; Alleged Inebriation... oh, hell, here's the link to the list: http://thehexfiles.net/viewuser.php?uid=33 A lot have darker themes - read the warnings - but they end well and are soooo good.
That should keep you busy for awhile, yes? And if you've read them all, go and reread! I'll be back next week with more recs for you. =D
May I have author tags for Minks, Constant Vigilance, and Newshound, please?
