And even more recs
Dec. 28th, 2007 11:12 amWhere the Naked Ladies Dance (Harry/Draco, plus others implied). This one was written for me for
merry_smutmas, woo! It's a lovely post-Epilogue story in which both of the boys are restless and looking for something more. And interestingly enough, it takes a brothel to bring them together. This is actually one of the first H/D fics I've read this exchange season. For some reason I've been focusing on other pairings, but I think this one has gotten me in the mood to read up on my OTP again. :-D
Pickled Egg (Harry/Ron), by
shocolate in
bestmates_xmas. Okay, so this one has probably been recced to high heaven and already has a bazillion comments, but it deserves them all. I'm picky about my H/R fic, and this one hits my buttons beautifully. It's funny, genuine, and well-written, well worth a look even if H/R is usually not your thing. Oh, and with art by
reallycorking -- what's not to love about that? ;-)

A gift fic was posted for me in
hd_holidays tonight, and I have to say I'm thrilled by it! It's written from the perspective of a portrait hanging in Grimmauld Place, and it tells the story of the search for Slytherin's locket. It's such a unique approach, and it's really a fantastic read. I especially love the fact that this particular Black ancestor was a bit of a voyeur, heh. ;-)

When
furiosity chose my request to write for
serpentinelion's Secrets & Wishes fest, I seriously squeed, because f is one of my favorite writers and I knew it would be a fantastic fic. And my god, it's amazing!
I really can't recommend this highly enough. I asked for a redux of Queer as Folk with the HP characters, and what she did with it was far beyond my expectations. In her warnings she says canon is flagrantly disregarded, but it's far more compatible with canon than you would expect. It's funny, and touching, and a fantastically enjoyable read!
Heavy Scene, by
furiosity.
Summary: At Babylon, Thursday means Muggle night, but one of those nights is not like all the others. It all sort of goes pear-shaped from there.
Rating: NC-17
And on another note, I still owe
legomymalfoy her request for that fest. After my betas rightfully pointed out all of the flaws in the first draft, I set that fic aside to finish my
hd_holidays fic (which was turned in very late). I'm hoping to get back to work on it soon. I think I'll go read some of the
hd_holidays fics for inspiration!

Crack drabbles!
Apr. 9th, 2007 08:27 pmOkay, I feel like writing some crack, and I'm hoping some of y'all will help me. So, please comment with a pairing, fandom, and a cracktastic prompt, and I'll do my best to write you a drabble. I'll probably take the first ten, and after that I will most likely stop. Fandoms: Star Wars (all 6 episodes and EU to the extent I know it), Harry Potter, Buffy, Angel, Friday Night Lights, Star Trek (TOS, TNG, Voyager). Pairings: Any -- het, slash, whatever.
Edit: Wow, that was quick! I have ten, but if you want to leave yours anyway, go ahead. Anyone who wants to write one of the extras shall be rewarded! ;-)
~*~*~*~*~
So here's what I came up with. And these are probably more ficlets than drabbles, as they range from 200-500 words.
sonofdarkness requested: ( Harry Potter/Angel and/or Buffy Crossover. Draco meets Spike. Spike takes the absolute piss out of Draco for being such an obvious ponce. )
dm_p requested: ( Harry/Draco, weird stuff sold on eBay. )
neotoma requested: ( Luke, Obi-Wan, or Qui-Gon. gen. It might be Bunnies! )
bethbethbeth requested: ( Harry, Buffy, and Luke: considering whether they should go on strike. )

FINAL: Surrender the Grey
Jan. 7th, 2007 06:32 pmThis took much longer than I expected, but it's finally finished! I'm going to post the final draft of Surrender the Grey one chapter at a time, as I do a final read-through and convert everything to html. The final version has been organized into 16 chapters, plus a prologue and an epilogue. My plan is to post a chapter a day starting today, (maybe a little faster if I can) until it's all done. There are 16 chapters, plus a prologue and an epilogue. I'm editing the eBook at the same time, so it will be available when the story is fully posted.

Rating: Adult (NC-17) for explicit m/m and m/f sexual description
Summary: Draco Malfoy returns to London after five years of self-imposed exile to start a new life with Harry. But will the secrets of the past destroy everything they’ve worked for?
Length: Novel, ~150,000 words
Sequel to: Left My Heart. Though this stands alone to a certain extent, it will make much more sense if you read LMH first.
Disclaimer: These characters are the property of their respective copyright holders. No copyright violation is intended and no money is being made. Written for entertainment purposes only, and intended for adults only.
Author Notes:
• This is the final version of this story. The first draft was posted as a work-in-progress from March 2 - November 2, 2005. The final draft will be posted January 2007.
• Even though the backstory of this fic only assumes canon up through Order of the Phoenix, I stole a few cool ideas from Half-Blood Prince. Cause they were cooler than mine…
• Thanks to
jedirita,
hazelhawthorne, and
charlotteschaos for betaing the first draft a chapter at a time. Thanks to
jedirita,
littlesnitch,
tipgardner, and
lusiology for betaing the second draft (and to
lusiology for Brit-picking as well). HUGE thanks go to all the people who read and commented on the first draft of this story over the eight months that it was written and posted. I can't thank you enough for the support and encouragement!
Start here to read.

FIC: Sometimes They Burn (1/2)
Nov. 8th, 2006 10:43 pmTitle: Sometimes They Burn
Author: Emma Grant
Summary: After the War, Harry Potter makes Draco Malfoy an offer he can't refuse – and Draco discovers that his own demons are very real.
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: Adult
Length: ~17,000 words
Warnings: explicit m/m sex, violence
Note: This was written at the request of
zully for The Quidditch Pitch's Demelza House fundraiser. Zully asked for: "Post-Hogwarts, post-war. Harry is working within the Ministry, and Draco is unaffiliated but untrusted by the Ministry. He's hired on when a case appears that requires investigation into remaining Death Eaters groups." This went in a direction she probably didn't expect (and was a couple of months late in coming), but I hope she likes it!
Big thanks go to
geoviki,
charlotteschaos, and
jedirita for their extremely helpful comments and suggestions on an earlier draft of this story.
