Your dom!Harry is the only dom!Harry I can accept. I really can't imagine Harry being into bdsm or being hyper-controlled and sadistic, but your dom!Harry - while deliciously dommy and kinky - is also passionate and loving and ... awww! Such a joy to read this story. So kinky! *w*
I hope I'll find a book by Diana Jones and read it as soon as I can. Now I'm curious!
Awww, thank you! Yeah, I mean, I love dark!Harry but that's rather less canon. And I loooove writing fluffy kink, where everyone trusts each other and there's a lot of taking care of the sub. Also I like to push back against the ficcish tidal wave of hyper-controlled doms who have no feelings and never trip when getting out of their trousers. I mean sometimes that's fun to read but like, as a person who engages in RL kink, I'm all "doms are people too!"
Diana Wynne Jones is AMAZING. Srsly. Try "Witch Week" maybe - it's probably not translated into Italian unfortunately but if it is I think your mini-Hermione would love it. It's an ensemble story and has a bullied, fat, imaginative, tough, nerdy girl who saves the world.
Oh YAY! I do love her books so! I miss her so much. She and Joan Aiken were so wonderful: fresh books through my childhood and adolescence, the knowledge that not all the great story writers were dead!
I'm rereading the Chrestomanci books now, having got a friend onto the Dalemark Quartet (because she's run out of Frances Hardinge to read) and they are so terrific!
You reminded me I need to do a big Frances post: as soon as the weather cools enough to sleep and therefore think!
Oh wow, that's so great! You know I missed most Joan Aiken by some bit of bad luck but I must go back now; The Wolves of Willoughby Chase looms so large in my memory (and in fact I think DWJ recced it via Tom in Fire and Hemlock!)
OMG THEY'RE SO. GOOD. The Lives of Christopher Chant is probably my favourite book ever, if I had to choose just one. It's so fantastic on its own merits - heroine wants to be in a British girls' school story! Tacroy getting caught and keeping Christopher's secrets! Christopher realising no one likes him! The CATS! (Omigod the image of DeWitt getting chased up a staircase by a cat will never leave me, ahahaha.) And then reading it with Charmed Life in mind - or vice versa - is so intense. (I will never be over Cat telling Christopher "you probably went scrumping for apples when you were my age" and having no idea why he goes pale.)
I should reread Caprona having lived in Italy :) Man I'm lucky being in Sardinia specifically I never had a kid named Tonino or Angelica cos I'm not gonna front, I would've had
