Two recs and a pimp
*Buttons up flack jacket and holds up hand*
I signed up for hd_holidays last fest, but, for personal reasons I'm not going into here, I had to drop out and the person who wrote the fic specifically for me and my request, romaine24, didn't post her fic to the comm.
I requested:
Kinks, genres or special requests: plot (esp' mystery, suspense or adventure with unusual magical spells or devices), creature!fic, UST, AWS, snarky Draco, final surrender to desire, first time, hurt/comfort, some element of angst, bondage/dubcon.
Two or three prompts: #1 A muggle archaeological dig that unearths a very dangerous Dark artifact in the UK or abroad, #2 Someone goes missing requiring exploration of some unknown magical place leading to trouble - UK or abroad. Prompts can be ignored if nothing strikes.
romaine24 certainly delivered what I wanted in spades. When I read the fic, all 48,737 words of it, I was transfixed. It was one of those occasions where you start reading and before you know it, four hours has passed. Now, what I requested may not be everybody's cup of tea, but for those of you that like: plot, mystery, creature!fic (inventively used), magical rituals, a developing relationship between Harry and Draco, and inclusion of TNG, I present to you:
Survival of the Species, H/D, NC-17, Action/Adventure, Angst, Drama, Creature!fic. Warnings: Dubious Consent, Mpreg, Suicide Attempt, Deathly Hallows Spoilers.
Author's summary: Draco approaches Harry on the 9 ¾ platform, after their sons have boarded the Hogwarts Express, and invites him over for tea. The discussion they have leads them on an adventure that neither could have expected. HPDH compliant.
Go. Read. Enjoy.
I had the pleasure of beta reading sansa1970's recently posted Albus/Scorpius fic. Had I not been asked to do so, it's likely that I would not have read this TNG fic for some time because I'm not especially invested in that pairing. But oh, what a wonderful read it was. My heart was fair pounding by the end: a sure sign that I've enjoyed a fic so much I've become excited (does that happen to anyone else?). The story is written at a depth I know I'll never achieve; it's so much more than mere narrative. The characters are wonderful and Harry's part in the fic had me thinking Oh, that's so Harry. *adores Harry*
Man's Dwelling Place, AS/S, NC-17, Angst, H/C, Romance.
Author's summary: Scorpius is the lone survivor of a tragedy that cost him his family, his identity, and his past. Albus shows him a possible future for them both.
And finally...
Over a year ago the hd_365 comm left Harry and Draco agreeing to marry each other. This year hd_365 returns to follow the lads as they plan and prepare for their wedding. Who knows what strange wizarding customs will be revealed to Harry, or how the lads will cope with both Narcissa and Molly putting in their two-penneth. Yours truly is back in the saddle as one of the authors, so finally, after 7 months, I will write something. ETA Forgot to say that posts will be fortnightly, around the middle and end of each month.
