I read a LOT of fic this week!
taste your change in men by fleshflutter, for salt_burn_porn: J2; NC-17; 2500 words.
Jared in fishnets. I don't think I need to say anymore.
But What a Lovely Way to Burn by lazy_daze, for salt_burn_porn: Sam/Dean; NC-17; 3600 words;
This is intense and desperate and needy and so very crazy hot!
Will I Look Back and Say by rivers_bend, for salt_burn_porn: Sam/Dean; NC-17; 3000 words; Dean's never been to a college party, but he never imagined they would be like this one.
This is really atmospheric and beautiful. It feels like old-school fic, which I miss miss miss a lot.
How I Wish It Would Rain (Down on Me) by veronamay, for salt_burn_porn: Sam/Dean; R; 3000 words; It's the wet season, but it hasn't rained here in weeks.
This is intensely atmospheric, too. The heat just sizzles off the computer screen.
One Step by Anon, for ficadron: Ron/Draco (\0/); NC-17; 13,000 words.
This makes me remember why I love HP fandom. Sort of AU, but could be a missing moment from book 7. After Ron leaves Harry and Hermione, he finds Draco bruised and battered, and he nurses him back to health. Snarky and hot! Though be warned that this deals with past physical and sexual abuse.
Protective Measures by Anon, for smutty_claus: Neville/Ginny; NC-17; 10,000 words; After the war is over, Neville and Ginny attempt to pick up the pieces.
This is full of some really lovely longing. I especially love the back story of Neville and Ginny during Neville's seventh year.
A Little Sideways by Anon, for smutty_claus: Luna/Cedric; 9000 words; NC-17; Cedric was never as dead as everyone thought. All he needed was one person to see him.
This is probably my favorite of the fest so far. The premise is so interesting, and Cedric's longing and loneliness are so palpable.
ART: The Potion Master's Apprentice by Anon, for smutty_claus: Snape/Hermione; NOT WORK SAFE.
Guh. The colors and the details make this gorgeous.
Shall We Dance by Anon, for smutty_claus: Harry/Ginny; NC-17; 4,600 words; Tonight, we tango!
This was just fun! Harry and Ginny on holiday in Argentina! The little touches of Spanish and the atmosphere really make this fic.
Upon the Midnight Clear by Anon, for smutty_claus: Draco/Hermione; 4,300 words; NC-17; Years after the war, things have changed. Hermione meets Draco at a Christmas party and goes home with him to make a little music.
I rec this because I enjoyed it, and I thought it was very well written. My only caveat would be that it came a touch too close to Ron!bashing for my tastes, but I'm maybe over sensitive about that. It was still really well done, though. Draco, in particular, was handled more sensitively than he usually is.
Lose Your Mind by Anon, for smutty_claus: Harry/Megan Jones; NC-17; 3,300 words: Things never seem to go according to plan with Megan, but Harry always enjoys the results.
I have no idea who Megan Jones is, and I'm always bemused when people request such minor characters, but the author did a good job with the character. Megan is fun loving and vibrant and I might have imagined she was Ginny, and this was a very enjoyable read.
I actually have more to rec, but I have to stop here for now. DEFINITELY check out smutty_claus if you have any free time. It's always my favorite time of year, when I find myself reading all sorts of interesting characters!
