mabIt's been quite some time since I've done a rec post and I figured it was about time to fix that. I do have several more squirreled away that I need to finish writing, but that will have to wait for a bit.
Please enjoy the following recs for fic and art and other things if you haven't already seen them!

Title: After All of This Time
Pairing(s): Severus/Harry
Rating: PG
Contains: Romance, Angst, Major Character Death
Summary: Harry watches over Severus
Word Count: 1800
Why I loved it: I'm not a Snarry shipper, but the way writcraft writes the pairing, I not only fall straight into the story, I feel the love. This fic is a romantic tale of a love that never dies, even when one of the couple does. It's sad and angsty, but has an overarching 'feel good' sense about it, that makes the pain easier to bear. I encourage all HP fans to give it a shot, even if it's "not your thing".
Artist: currently anonymous
Title: Potter and the Pea
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: PG-13
Contains: Comic style art
Summary: The Malfoys are putting Draco's suitors to the pea test. Harry Potter is just trying to do his job.
Why I loved it: I LOVE the style of this art. The story is a retelling of the famous fairy tale, but when applied to Harry and Draco, it's just made of win. The tension between them is palpable and when they finally reach the breaking point, it's a moment filled with Squee. Give it a look, leave love for the artist, and if you don't follow HD Smoochfest already, I encourage you to start!

Title: I Found A Way to Have You
Pairing(s): Harry/Teddy, Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Contains: Character Death, Implied Murder
Summary: Teddy's got his eyes set on Harry but Harry's only got eyes for Draco. He can fix that though.
Why I loved it: Oh this art! It's so damn dark and just fills all of my dark/horror needs perfectly. It's based off a prompt I left for the fest HP Darkages, based on crossgen relationships with a dark side to them. The imagery in this is stunning. How Teddy's hair appears to be on fire in the top, how his body just burns with his need to have Harry no matter what the cost, and then, the blood that seeps through the frames, connecting the scenes, just really illustrates the story perfectly. I have so many feels. I'm over the moon in love with what this artist did with the prompt.

Title: Draco's Birthday Party Masterlist
Pairing(s): Draco/Harry and potentially Draco/other characters
Rating: varied
Contains: ficlets, art, icons, manips, picspams, and drabbles
Summary: Capitu, the amazing threw a weeklong celebration for Draco on her livejournal. This is the Masterlist of the wonders that resulted.
Why I loved it: How amazing is fandom? So amazing that it brings us together in a celebration of LOVE for our favourite characters and for each other. Fandom is a powerful bond and even when we have to step away for a while, it will always be willing to welcome us home when we need it.

Title: Happy Birthday, Draco
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: PG
Contains: Cuteness and fluffy angst
Summary: Harry's such a tease at times
Why I loved it: I just adore this artist's work! If you don't know her already, be sure to follow her on Tumblr at Puking Pastilles. This art is way too cute. It was drawn for Draco's birthday party atcapitu's livejournal. Draco's expressions of surprise and indignation are brilliant, but I think my favourite part of this piece is Harry in the final two panels. His playful laughter and how he quiets Draco right up are just heartwarming.

Title: Potter's Parselprostate (and the Chamber of Secrets)
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Contains: fingering, parseltongue porn, rimming, anal sex, cracky plot
Summary: Hogwarts’ future depends on Malfoy’s texts. Too bad the key is up Potter’s arse.
Word Count: 17,400
Why I loved it: Despite the somewhat cracky premise, this fic was exquisitely charming. I enjoyed every minute of it and all of the hot and steamy sexy shenanigans Harry and Draco got up to in the name of… ahem, public service. I encourage you to give it a go if you're in the mood for some fun!
Author:zeitgeistic
Title: Azoth
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco (featuring Portrait!Snape and the side pairings of Millicent/Hermione and Ron/Lavender)
Rating: NC-17
Contains: An exploration of Alchemy, steamy hot gay sex, angst, and charged emotions.
Summary: Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.
Word Count: 88,720
Why I loved it: I adore what she did with the exploration of Alchemy and how it applies to Potions and fits in with canon and the wizarding world. Her Harry and Draco's chemistry was so spot on perfect, I really fell in love with them and their personal perceived flaws. It was quite an adventure to read along as they sort of grew up a bit and learned a lot about themselves, each other, and what it means to really love another person. It was really a stroke of genius to tell the love story alongside their discovery of how the Alchemical process works and how they recognized the similarities.
Also… this damn fic has nearly 300 bookmarks on Ao3… do I really need to convince you that it's a must read? I also recommend checking out part 2, a short and fun follow up oneshot that is all about sexytimes under the sea with Gillyweed. Searching for Wondrous Creatures.

Date: 2014-06-18 01:37 am (UTC)I finished the first draft of recording for chapter 10 last night and it will be the longest chapter yet. It will take me about a week or so to whip it into shape with editing and having it beta'd, but keep your eyes open for it, because it's coming!
