from hd_holidays:
*) What We Know, by anon.
Harry Potter | Draco/Harry | G | ~ 3,000 words
The end of the War doesn't mean that everything is suddenly better. Sometimes you create your perfect world with the people you don't expect.
-- > All's not well after the war. The more things change, the more they stay the same. That doesn't mean one can't make a difference. This is all in all such a hopeful story.
I really loved how Harry and Draco struck a friendship first. How they have both changed because of the war. And how they try to build something real.
from smutty_claus:
*) The Mooncalf and the Quibbler, by anon.
Harry Potter | Luna Lovegood/Zacharias Smith | NC-17 | ~ 19,000 words
After losing his temper to a series of provocations, a very reluctant Zach is sentenced to doing community service at The Quibbler.
-- > I love this to pieces. Zach was a bit of a jerk, but also very human and real. I've had real sympathy for him. And I love Luna here. She's a real character not a caricature with feelings and faults and a certain amount of vulnerability, so very human.
Love the plot too, funny and sweet and so very believable.
Harry Potter:
*) The World of the Living, by fourth_rose.
Harry Potter | Draco/Harry, Luna | R| ~ 18,000 words
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.
-- > I really loved Luna's pov here. Both Draco and Harry are broken by the war. I really like how they slowly, so very slowly find each other.
Bandom, Brendon/Jon:

*) spent so long waiting, by jezzabe.
Bandom | Brendon/Jon; Brendon/Pete, Pete/Patrick | R | ~ 17,000 words
Future fic, featuring heartbreak, emails, phonecalls, a meddling Pete and two confused boys.
-- > I really like how this played out, even though it seems a tiny bit melodramatic it still seems very believable. Loved Pete here, still himself but a little bit more grown up.
*) Temperature Rising, by disarm_d.
Bandom | Brendon/Jon | NC-17 | ~ 1,980 words
Tempers flare. - Warnings for hate sex frottage set during the Panic! divorce.
