July Birthday Recs
Oh my! is this month's bday rec post late! :/ I'm so sorry for that.
This year I thought I'd do something different for your birthdays. Each month there will be a rec-post in which I rec fic/art/... made by the birthday kids. I'll try to rec lesser known fics or pairings, or older things that somehow stuck with me.
A (belated) Happy Birthday to machshefa & oldenuf2nb & veritas03 & proems & utteramusement & arineat & etheriaelle & croatoan6000
♥ Happy Birthday machshefa
Reckoning [Severus - PG - 1k] It's a brilliant character study of canon!Severus, a series of drabble length glimpses into his life. Don't miss it!
excerpt:
"Severus, please..." And my soul, Dumbledore? Mine?
"Don't," he screams from the depths of that soul, "call me coward."
Not even a desperate wish, he thinks, can wrest truth from a lie.

2008 Christmas Series [Harry/Draco - NC17 - 28 chapters]
It was my first Christmas as a H/D shipper. I can remember waiting eagerly for updates on this wonderfully fluffy and romantic series. :)

♥ Happy Birthday veritas03
Snowflakes and Cashmere [Harry/Draco - NC17 - 3.6k] This is just so calm and playful and adorable and sensual!
excerpt: His father, Draco had discovered, was not the authority on the Wizarding world after all. The irrefutable evidence of that - the most powerful wizard in their world - was standing at the edge of the lake catching snowflakes on his tongue.
♥ Happy Birthday proems
Bradley James' Top Five Greatest Fears [Bradley/Colin - PG - 5.1k] Yep, I'm rec'ing RPS in the bday post. Seriously, if you're in the B/C fandom and haven't read it: what the hell are you waiting for? It is awesome! :D
author's summary: In which Bradley James faces his second greatest fear of all time (and no, it's not Katie McGrath's luminous purple cocktail, although that is pretty scary).
♥ Happy Birthday utteramusement
Um, Carla, you don't write or draw, do you? Whatever shall I do now... *changes plan*
utteramusement is a delightful and cute person. ^_^ You should see her in her authentic, handmade (!!!) Slytherin uniform. But for that you probably have to come to the next hp_uk_meetup. ;)
♥ Happy Birthday arineat
arineat has a beautiful soprano voice and we sang an NC17 rated version of "A Whole New World" together, but I'm not going to rec something I collaborated on for somebody else's birthday. That would be... INCONCEIVABLE! ;)
Snickerdoodle [Harry/Draco - NC17 - 2.6k] Cinnapr0n. 'nuff said! ;)
excerpt: Draco was just starting to get into the kiss when he felt a tickle on his neck and head. He reared backward, tearing his mouth from Harry's, a scandalized look on his face as his cheeky minx of a boyfriend grinned wickedly at him.
"You did not just do that," Draco growled.
"What? You mean ... this?" Harry asked, sprinkling another handful over the silken blond locks, peppering the platinum white strands with sparkling brown spots.
"That’s it, Potter, this means war!"
♥ Happy Birthday etheriaelle
I don't know you very well and I don't think you're a writer or artist, but that can't stop me from wishing you a very Happy Birthday! :)
♥ Happy Birthday croatoan6000
Dukedom Large Enough [Harry/Draco - NC17 - ~97k] This is one of my all time favourite versions of Draco. I can remember so vividly how I read this fic as a WIP, how it followed me around during the day, and how I couldn't stop myself from buying Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal. Once I start reading the favourite books of characters or celebrities you can be pretty sure that I've fallen hopelessly, head over heels, and so on. ;)
author's summery: His fortune lost, his family shamed and exiled, Draco feels he has finally found contentment in his new job as Hogwarts librarian. But this is about to change, once Harry Potter, the acclaimed Auror, returns to the school to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts and to turn Draco's world upside-down!
