Mini-theme: Eighth Year Party Games (short fics)
Party games in eighth year are a classic fandom trope, and I love them so much! The fics I'm reccing here are all short ones where the party game is the main driver of the story. There are many other longer stories which also include party games (like Right Hand Red, which I recced the other day) but those will be recced in other posts :)
Truth or Dare by uniquepov ( NC-17 | 2,300 ) 8-Oct-2010
Summary: Hogwarts’ “eighth-year” students have their own dorms and common room outside of the House system. What happens when of-age students need to blow off steam? Children’s games, of course…!
(Party Game = Truth or Dare)
Hot! I kinda dig the predatory Harry dynamic. Draco's been crushing on Harry, and Harry knows it, and uses it to full advantage.
Kissing (Nox and Lumos) by bryoneybrynn ( PG | 1,100 ) 27-Apr-2011
Summary: In the dark, Harry quite liked snogging his mystery bloke. But when the lights come back on, will he still be so happy?
(Party Game = Who's Your Father?)
Cute and well done. I love how they both actually knew (and liked!) who they had been snogging, but were afraid the other didn't. Sweet ending.
The Game Continues by dysonrules ( PG-13 | 1,100 ) 16-Jul-2011
Summary: When Harry decided to play Spin the Bottle, he had no idea he would end up blindfolded in a storage closet.
(Party Game = Spin the Bottle)
Fun little vignette. Lots of teasing anticipation and surprises.
Spin the Wand by WrittenSins ( PG-13 | 2,900 ) 16-Jun-2014
Summary: In the spirit of inter-house unity, the eighth years have a small party. In an attempt to get Harry and Ginny back together, Hermione and Ron come up with the plan of a rigged game of Spin the Wand, but not all goes as planned.
(Party Game = Spin the Wand)
Sweet and cute, and mostly fluff :)
I've Never... by nicevenn ( NC-17 | 3,700 ) 16-Jul-2014
Summary: After the war, Muggle Studies is a required subject at Hogwarts. For seventh and eighth years, this includes a mandatory Muggle-style ski holiday.
(Party Game = I Never)
Very nice, sweet story. The way Draco's secret came out during the game was great, as was everyone's reactions, and I liked the way Harry approached Draco about it the next day.
