Be-loved and Be-elved (R) by fireelemental79
Length: ca 27,500 words
Summary: "Harry suddenly finds himself the recipient of a number of love letters, which appear mysteriously on his desk at W.W.W. Inc., Fred and George’s magical gag factory. Is it just coincidence that they start to show up shortly before hiring Draco Malfoy as a new product tester? Or has Harry’s life simply taken a turn for the humorous now that he is in the middle of some great romantic conspiracy? And what part, if any, does Dobby play in the ever increasing mess that is Harry’s romantic life?"
My notes: Love letters, house-elves and Draco working as a product tester! Hilarious! :D
King Cobra (NC-17) by megyal
Length: ca 9,000 words
Summary: "Auror Malfoy is an undercover agent in the employ of a drug baron. His job? To locate a deep cover agent by the name of Harry Potter, assist him in closing down the drug operation, and then extracting them both, alive. His case takes him to Jamaica, where everything will be won or lost within the coils of the King Cobra."
My notes: A really interesting Auror fic. It also has a nice back-story. And a snake. ;)
Room with a View (NC-17) by cutecoati
Length: ca 25,500 words
Summary: "The portraits at number twelve, Grimmauld Place have seen many strange things over the years, but none as strange as Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy staying under the same roof while there's a war going on outside."
My notes: What I loved the most about this fic was the POV. We see the whole story through the eyes of a portait. This is one my favourite stories from the fest. :D
Set Me Free (NC-17) by jairissa
Length: ca 15,500 words
Summary: "Everyone always told Harry to grow up. Now that he has, when is the promised happiness going to arrive?"
My notes: *snigger* In this fic Draco flashes people. I think it's worth reading just for that. Plus it's incredibly funny. :D
Stung (NC-17) by pushdragon
Length: ca 22,000 words
Summary: "After the war, Draco is really, really, really angry. A loose re-telling of "Taming of the Shrew" with duelling, mindless destruction, cross-dressing and lashings of crack."
My notes: <3 crack! There are plots, Draco destroying things, and the Manor helping things along. :D
The World of the Living (R) by fourth_rose
Length: ca 17,500 words
Summary: "A traumatised war hero and a convicted criminal under the roof of an eccentric journalist make for a rather odd ensemble, but Luna has never had a problem with oddities as long as they make sense."
My notes: Another story where I loved the POV! This time it's Luna's POV. I love Luna! This fic was amazing! :)

The next batch should be in a couple of days. :)
