( Something To Remember Me By )

Okay, so first of all, my gift from hd_holidays. 

Every Fifteen Seconds by anon, H/D, NC-17. 20,540 words. Warnings for violence and bloodiness, from the violence.

Summary: The faceless men Draco Malfoy fights these days don’t offer redemption or salvation. They don’t offer answers or even friendship. Draco is tired of answers, and though he still has a few friends, most of them have lives of their own and can’t understand how Draco is still haunted by the ghost of someone he hasn’t seen in four years. And as for salvation, Draco gave up on that years ago. Because even the Saviour couldn’t be saved.

This is the comment I left, apologies for it being a bit scattered and all over the place, I was really excited:

Next is from hp_emofest.

Festival Night by anon, Draco/Albus Severus, NC-17. 6780 words. Warnings for age disparity: 49/23. 

Summary: Scorpius is getting married, and Albus Severus is the best man. At the wedding, Draco is feeling old, fat and maudlin, watching his son take this huge step, so he goes off for a walk in the Manor gardens. Albus Severus follows him.

Why it's genius: First of all, Draco describing himself as a "divorced ex-Death Eater poof" is fantastic, and this is hot as hell. Most of the things I've read with this pairing have had a distinct D/s vibe to them, which I love (obviously), but here it's almost blessedly missing. Instead, Albus is stunningly sincere, and Draco reads as... coming back out of his sexual retirement, if you will. Basically, it had me at: outdoor sex and fat admiration.

Lucky last is a piece of art from nextgen_mas.

By My Rules by anon, Teddy/James II, PG. 

Summary: James plays a little game. Teddy wasn't really up to it.

Why I love it: I was sold at 'watercolours'. This is beautiful. The colours are crisp and sharp, and each choice for their hair, clothes, etc. is wonderfully deliberate and appropriate. Admittedly I'm yet to really get into next gen, but Teddy is sort of my current exception to that rule. He's sort of reminiscent of Remus here; he's a little sad, and seems to consider every word carefully. James is adorably boisterous, and it all just works. 

On a side note, I still haven't really settled into a way of reccing things that I feel 100% comfortable with. Darling f-list, what is your favourite way of laying things out?

A few things I read recently and loved:

Oh, and HUGE TRIGGER WARNING ON THE FIRST ONE, I can't stress this enough (even in bold caps).

I handed in a big assignment today, so I won't have anything else major due for a few weeks! Success! You know what that means?

More time to hang out here! Potentially sometime over the weekend I'll post the first chapter of something I'm working on! Yeah, chapter.

Here is how you can help (this is like one of those choose your own adventure stories): if Harry and Draco saw each other for the first time in say, 5 years, do you think Draco would be:

a) rude
b) evasive
c) a flirt
d) polite but not chatty
or e) some combination of the above?

Why?

And, once again, yay! Weekend! *dances*

Harry took a statistics class and was very, very bored.

The end.
