Rectober Begins NOW! Come in and see!



Welcome to Rectober! My goal is to be a Rectober Rockstar this month. Please click the banner above so you know what I'm talking about.

This is my bad attempt at a banner:

so yes.. my goal for this Rectober is to write and post over 50 fan creation recs. I post to tumblr and crosspost to lj for fests that are collecting recs for the [livejournal.com profile] daily_snitch.

Let the Reccage begin!




Author/Artist: [livejournal.com profile] nobunakira
Title: Greenhouse — A Visual Novel
Characters:Neville, Draco, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Dean
Rating: PG
Contains: Super cuteness.
Summary: A love after the war
Word Count: 920
Why I loved it: It's so, so sweet!!! You do have to download it to watch as it's presented in a sort of "game" format. Really though, it's an amazingly creative fanwork and I adore her depictions of the characters. The colors are beautiful and her choice of music is great too! Take a look! You'll smile!


Author: [livejournal.com profile] phoenixstrike1
Title: Invisible
Pairing(s): Harry/Ginny, Harry/Ginny/Draco, Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Contains: threesome, infidelity
Summary: Ginny was prepared to do whatever it took to salvage her marriage. Even if that meant bringing Draco Malfoy into the bedroom.
Word Count: 2730
Why I loved it: This fic is written from Ginny's POV as she struggles to save her marriage to Harry by being open to inviting his needs into their bedroom… It's heartbreaking to read her perspective, but also beautifully written. The writer knows how to put the reader right in there, feeling the emotion of the characters, and though there is no dialogue, and it's written in 2nd person, you don't really realize it until you've finished.. and then you see the brilliance of those choices.




Author: [livejournal.com profile] nattish
Title: White Roses
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, Harry/Lucius
Rating: NC-17
Contains: mpreg, 1920's AU
Summary: It’s 1924, and Harry is a Chosen Boy. A Chosen Boy must be groomed. A Chosen Boy must be betrothed. And he must be chaste and true unto the House he is wed. Technically...technically...Harry has done all those things.
Word Count: 5600
Why I loved it: This fic is absolutely brilliant in characterisation and in making me believe the AU. The author reaches straight into my heart and twists it and I'm crying for how divided Harry feels and then, it turns out to be not quite what I expected, but far more than I could have hoped for… and the twist at the end… I shudder to think of how the rest of this AU could have played out. Read it! Seriously!




Artist: [livejournal.com profile] sugareey
Title: Just Follow Me
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: PG
Summary: A study session deciphering wizarding literature has Harry and Draco falling asleep, but taking their own adventure through the stories of Beedle.
Why I loved it: The art is simply breathtaking. It plays off the style we are introduced to in JK's The Tales of Beedle the Bard but has enough of a flair to be unique to this artist. Take a look!




Artist : [livejournal.com profile] nobunakira
Title: Underwater
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: PG-13
Summary: He is a potion specialist, he needs to redeem his family's name. Severus Snape's portrait lent him a book which had every answer for his problem. Oh well, why do we need Harry Potter in this story?
Word Count: 390
Why I loved it: It's short and sweet, and quite funny. The art is brilliant! Take a look and leave love for the artist!




Artist: [livejournal.com profile] nobunakira
Title: For Life and Pretending
Pairing(s): One-sided Albus/Scorpius, Harry/Ginny, Harry/Scorpius, Harry/Draco
Rating: R
Contains: nudity, implied sex with an underaged person, character deaths
Summary: "In the cycle of seasons, cycle of life
I believe we'll meet again
But for now I'm alone in this rain I
can't walk with this sadness"

Why I loved it: It's simply stunning. Written in doujinshi form, the artist somehow manages to pull out all the feels. It's both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time and jam packed with emotion.




Author: [livejournal.com profile] stephaniejo84
Title: "Such Promises"
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: R
Contains: Angst, bed sharing, HOTNESS
Summary: An unexpected storm floods the dungeons so the Slytherins are forced to share dorm space for the night with the Gryffindors. Harry is the only one who'll share a bed with Draco.
Word Count: 4100
Why I loved it: I just loved the premise of this fic, how they came together, how their nightmares bound them and by realizing how much the war affects Draco, Harry becomes aware of how much he cares. Then Bossy!Draco turns Harry on his head and basically is all he can think about… and all I can think about now, for that matter. Loved it!

Thanks for these recs, Mab! I've been wanting to check out Greenhouse but I keep forgetting -- I saw it first on my phone, and told myself I had to get to a computer to view it properly. And now you've reminded me!

I liked Silence too! Very powerful. I don't think I've read Such Promises and it sounds cute, so I'll read that at lunchtime :)
