Title: Dear Uncle Plume
Author: eidheann_writes
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 16,500
Summary: Life after war is nothing like Draco expected. He only hopes he'll survive it. Especially when his friends are less than sympathetic.
Why I loved it:
This fic is such a treat! So witty, so clever, and so much fun! But it's also genuinely moving, without ever being heavy-handed about it. I loved all the wry humor and the banter between Draco and Pansy and the awkward conversations between Draco and Harry. It's told in a non-linear narrative fashion which is slightly confusing at first, but really serves to underscore the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up absurdness of Draco's post-war life. It's also interspersed with delightful excerpts from Draco's dry-witted "Dear Uncle Plume" advice column. Just a great read all around.
Excerpt:
Pansy shot him a look. "So that's the first and only time?" Draco flinched at the flat sarcasm in her voice. "No, I thought not."
"It's not like that. We're not… like that." He grimaced, and Pansy rolled her eyes at him. "He's never in London, much less England. And I really wouldn't want him to be."
"What, you two stop fighting long enough to shag, and then each go your separate ways?"
"Well. Yes. Mostly."
Pansy stared at him a moment, then shook her head, erupting in giggles. "You are shag buddies with Potter. A booty-floo. Sex friends. Happy handshakers." Pansy's giggles stopped, and her eyes lit in a way he knew only meant bad things for him. "Cum chums," she enunciated carefully.
"Merlin! No!" He held up a hand in surrender. "Are you quite finished?"
"Oh I can keep going. All day, if needed."
Iris squealed and Draco rubbed his forehead. "You forgot pregnant."
"Oh no, darling, that part is just the icing on the cake." Pansy pulled Iris close, wiping biscuit smear and milk from her face. "Because now instead of just shagging Potter, you need to actually talk to him. And I know you, and I know you are terrible at that. It's the most amusing thing that's happened in my life in years."
"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself."
