"Second Impressions" by cest_what

First read: 22-09-2008.

Notes: 18.000 words. This is a sorting AU in which Draco somehow manages to earn Harry's trust or at least, his tentative friendship, at Madam Malkin's, but, like in the author's “The If Sieve”, after Harry's sorted into Slytherin because of him, he manages to fuck things up by approving of ( Read more... )

"How Do You Mend a Broken Heart?" by Mahaliem

Summary: In order to keep custody of his children, Draco needs to find a spouse that will shore up the Malfoy family's tattered reputation.

"DIY Messiah" by Scoradh

First read: 18-04-2008.

Notes: Harry tries to be happy with his annoying children and boring life, he can't quite manage. Helping Draco Malfoy deal with his boring life seems to help, though. Sometimes funny, sometimes over the top, I liked this one. Post Reveal Edit: Damn, I was hoping I hadn't read her story! This one was ( Read more... )

First read: 06-04-2008.

Summary: The last thing Harry wants is to lose his kids.

Notes: 45.000 w. I liked this fic a lot, even though it was hard to sympathize with a Harry who cheats on his wife for no other reason than sex. Harry, Draco and Ginny were all lovely and well-characterized, angry ( Read more... )

"here, where the world is quiet" by Bussaiko

First read: 03-04-2008.

Notes: 6.000 words. Snape and Lupin have a school for young werewolves. I totally need to re-read it, I missed Lupin was...mm... death, as in, a ghost, until the very last scene. Still, it's got the feeling of a novel-length and I wish it was. While reading I kept wondering if it was ( Read more... )

"Howdy" by Juxian Tang.

First read: 27-02-2008.

Notes: Author's summary: "Challenge # 83: Snape and Lupin each (separately) make a decision to adopt a child. And they're both stubbornly determined to adopt *the same* child." 23.000 words. I liked the child, who was cute and whose past explained his utter cuteness and docility (and he did become a ( Read more... )
