Recent Fic Recs
I wanted to mention that those who are fans of Snape rarepairs may want to look into the fun going on at the hpde_smutathon, the Harry Potter Death Eater Smutathon fic exchange.
Here are two recs I recently made in my own journal, of Snape/Draco fics in particular:
The first, " Sweet Coin," has snarky, bitter postwar Snape as the point of view character, and just gets better from there, very smutty with power games, and features a pairings list that made me chuckle: "Snape/various, including but not limited to flashbacks and fantasies of Snape/Lucius, Snape/Draco, Snape/Karkaroff, Snape/Voldemort." Karkaroff and Voldemort are just passing mentions for the sake of getting them in there. This Lucius is the way I really like him, too, powermad and sadistic. It was just posted a few days ago.
From a bit further back in the fest, we have the gift fic written for me! " Who's Traitor." The idea I put forth was "Severus Snape is running from the Dark Lord, and Draco is with him. The only way to save the boy’s life is to make it look like he was being held by force. Snape has no problem doing that." The story is short, but very filthy. There are things I would never do to Draco in my own fics, but which I get perverse pleasure out of reading in others, which makes this a treat. The story really needed to be beta-read before submission--it has many typos in it (like the word "songs" where "son's" should be, bad ones like that) which mar its potential, but you know what? It's still hot.
Finally, to show off the beautiful "is love" banner that lilydahlia made for me:
