Title: Collapse Amongst the Dying Stars
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: R
Contains: Angst, character death (not Harry or Draco), incarceration, heavily implied torture and non-con (off screen, not between Harry and Draco), time travel, AU after the Battle for Hogwarts
Summary: fter the final battle nothing is quite as Harry expected. Death Eaters remain unaccounted for, Malfoy is in prison and there is something rotten in Azkaban. Banned from assisting the Aurors, Harry keeps himself busy with regular visits to Malfoy and works to bring light to the darkness of no. 12 Grimmauld Place. As he does all he can to make things better, Harry's mind fills with strange dreams and an adversary sets in motion a plan intended to tear Harry's world apart.
Word Count: 26,500
Why I loved it: Wow this fic.. There's so much to it. I nearly stopped reading when I thought it was going down a "time travel" path as I admit to having assumptions about time travel fics, but I am so very glad I perservered. The story is brilliantly crafted. It's unassuming and you find an easy pace, and then it turns you on your head and breaks your heart... you keep going and there's some healing and you start thinking, all right, it will all work out in the end... and then it breaks your heart again. Now... I am saying this fic doesn't have a happy ending, but it does still leave you with some hope that the future may not be entirely dismal. It's one of those fics that works its way under your skin and sticks with you. Honestly, those are my favorite sort. I love it when I'm moved. Give it a read and if you like it, let the author know!

Title: In Death's Dream Kingdom
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Contains: Major Character Death, Murder, Gore
Summary: ‘We need to get going,’ Harry says. ‘We have a lot to do if we want to finish what we started.’
Word Count: 7500
Why I loved it: Oh God!!! This FIC!!! I offer the mystery author my heart as he/she owns it already. The writing is brilliant and the suspense utterly fantastic. It is a horror story, but more than that, it's a love story. Read it, it's full of chills and feels! And leave love for the author. When the fest reveals, we need to pester him/her to write all the fics for all the fests!
