ETA at the top: My ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) hp_yule_balls gift was just posted and It's Harry/Draco/Neville ART - SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! It's gorgeous. I'm so so thrilled. Everyone go look, be jealous, and leave the artist a little love:)
A Good Time was Had by All NWS
A few more fest recs today...
The first one is a RUN DON'T WALK! If you admire beautiful writing and crave some high end cerebral thinking. This one is... WOW. I can't say too much for fear of spoiling it. I think it is important for this fic that the first time you experience it you should be trying to grasp what you're reading w/out knowing too much. It was inspired by the gorgeous art of ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lillithium (who is the gift recipient - lucky gal). I clicked on the link in the Notes after I read it. I think before or after is just fine to get the feel. And then read it again and look at the art again... (and so on and so forth) It's Magical.
GO READ: All Tomorrow's Parties (Harry/Draco, R, 5400 words)
Also from hd_holidays is Requirements which a well written canon insert type of fic. I don't usually like these, but I think this one works really well and I enjoyed it a lot. By the end I was extremely emotionally worked up (in a good way) about the connection between Harry and Draco. There are warnings, but I think they're rather mild examples of those warnings. If you like to be surprised, don't read the comments. (Harry/Draco, R, 5300 words)
I have a couple of hdhols longer fics that I've seen rec'd that I'm going to give a try today. So far the one's I have seen rec'd and read, I didn't jump for joy over... I'm hoping that the trend will change.
LAST Rec w/some caveats: I'm reccing this b/c it's well written, I enjoyed it, and it is quite Different. Some folks like the kink of fisting. You'll often see it in a darker deviant sex exploration fic or perhaps a non-con. I've even read a couple "relationship" fics where the one partner wants the experience and you end up w/a hot smexy PWP. But from hp_yule_balls the 2700 word Harry/Ron fic Not Your Usual Christmas Exchange has the strange duality of a seriously sentimental family Christmas and Fisting. (I suppose hence the title) If you were intrigued as I was, go give this a try. |
