Random Recs from H/D Owlpost Fest
Some owl gifts from hd_owlpost that I really loved: :)
Harry Potter and the Hellblazer
Author: still anon
Summary: A wizard and an exorcist walk into a pub. It sounds like a joke, Harry wishes it was.
Rating: PG
Word Count: 750
Why I rec this: I don't know anything about the cross-over fandom (Hellblazer, Contantine) of this fic. And this is just the beginning of the story of how Harry got Draco out of a deal with the King of Hell, making a pact with John Constantine. But oh God, it is good. We will have to bribe the author to continue the story.
Quote: Constantine snapped his fingers and lit a Silk Cut cigarette with a tiny spark of Hellfire. Harry shivered despite himself. That wasn't Harry's kind of magic, it was wordless, wandless and wrong. Not just the magic, either. The cigarette was the wrong brand, the wrong smell -- so close but not close enough.
9 Days of Snowmen
Artist: still anon
Summary: Harry and Draco make snowmen that are quite representative of themselves - competitive and, um, rather fond of root vegetables…
Rating: NC-17ish
Art Medium: PowerPoint slides
Why I rec this: I totally rec this because of the penises carrots. Needless to say, you can always count on fandom to take perfectly harmless things like snowmen and lead them down the road of voyeurism and perversion. ;)
Six Christmasses
Author: still anon
Summary: A year ago - even a few months ago - Harry would have heeded the note of warning in Malfoy’s voice. He would have been more careful. But care, he thought now, twisted and flowed with the change in landscape; like magic, it fed on a continual change of form.
Rating: R
Word Count: 4800
Why I rec this: Such a beautifully written and structured Auror fic.
Quote: Care is a magic shaped by relation; it alters and winds its way through all spaces. It is always on the move, always changing its shape, and sometimes - it turned into love. Harry felt, finally, like all his various perspectives on Draco Malfoy over the years had clicked into place, simultaneous and one. He felt certain he could love this man through every view, from any side of before or after.
The Edge of Glory
Author: still anon
Summary: Top Gun!AU. Featuring broom aviators Harry 'Maverick' Potter and Draco 'Iceman' Malfoy.
Rating: G
Word Count: 6 x 100 words
Why I rec this: A Harry Potter || Top Gun fusion fic of 600 action-packed words that made me root for Maveric/Ice-man instantly.
