Title: The usual rules
Rating: G
Medium: Digital
Characters: Harry/Draco

Summary:

"Nice bed." I took a step towards Harry, trapping him against the dresser. He put his hands on my waist as I tipped up his chin towards me, the height difference wasn't much, a few inches, just enough that I had to bend my head slightly to kiss him.

I usually don't have patience for kissing but with Harry the usual rules didn't seem to apply.

Notes: Dear oakstone730, I saw you wished for art for 'Unexpected Turn' for your Snowflake Challenge wishlist, and I wanted to give you that. It was such a lovely fic (so also thank you for pointing me in its direction), and I hope you like what I did for it! I suppose this can count as my Snowflake Challenge Day 7, because I completely fell off the challenge. The challenges from the last few days kind of stumped me, so I probably won't do the rest.

Eee, seraphina_snape wrote me a Ginny/Luna ficlet based on my art as a response to my Snowflake Challenge wishlist!! I can't believe ♥_♥

Title: Six Hundred and Forty-Three Steps
Author: seraphina_snape
Pairing: Ginny/Luna
Rating: Teen and up
Words: 983
Summary: Luna visits Ginny on a summer day.

My thoughts: This is such a sweet little fic! Luna is being perfectly Luna, and the little glimpse of the start of their relationship is so lovely. An atmospheric and beautiful ficlet <3

Day 5

In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Soo, my reading lately has mostly consisted of Erised and some original mm novels, so I'm gonna rec my own gift as well as some of my other favourites from the fest and some arts from Tumblr. I'm still FAR from finished reading Erised, though, so there might be some amazing ones I've yet to read to. Also so much amazingness in everything there in general?

I'll just put in a general rec of all things Erised, art and fic. Because that fest is always so good. So so good.

Title: Into My Heart
Author: Anonymous
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco (dur) with a side of Ron/Hermione
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~19,000
Warnings: None
Content/Enticements: friends with benefits, UST
Summary: No strings…easy. Right? Unless you're Draco Malfoy and you're having sex with Harry Potter.

My thoughts: This was my gift \o/ It's a friends with benefits story, which is one of my favourite tropes. There's such an explosive chemistry between Harry and Draco, and so much pining from Draco. Some great side characters too, in their friends. Loved their friendships.

Title: Bound To You
Author: Anonymous
Pairing(s): Draco/Harry
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~28,000
Warnings: None
Content/Enticements: Accidental Bonding, Cursed Bonding, Curse Breaker!Draco, Cartographer!Harry, Unusual Careers, Lots of sass, Mild angst, Pining, Slow burn.
Summary: Hag magic is capricious and unruly, and Harry and Draco are bound to stay by each other’s side until they can solve the riddle. In between long car trips, misty rain, and midnight star charts, they begin to understand each other.


My thoughts: Wow this story has such a cool premise, and it explores so many interesting things wrt magic and careers. Harry and Draco is bonded to a curse, and the way the curse works is so different and creepy and interesting and the author does such a great job in exploring Harry and Draco's developing relationship through it. So much cleverness in this story.

Title: The Loathly Worm
Author: Anonymous
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~12,000
Warnings: See Erised post
Content/Enticements: Secret identities, evil ghosts, and a Loathly Worm. Oh, and the power of True Love!
Summary: When Draco Malfoy is forced to go undercover among the remaining Death Eaters in the aftermath of the war, the last person he expects to find there is Harry Potter.

My thoughts: Another very cool premise, with some really interesting takes on magic. And the story is told in such a different and interesting way too, sort of with flashbacks after the fact. Harry and Draco are both undercover in a Death Eater camp after the war, and are drawn to each other even not knowing who the other is at first. The story is intriguing and suspenseful and I love all the interesting details and their developing relationship.

Title: A Ghost in the Garden
Author: Anonymous
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~27,000
Warnings: See Erised post
Content/Enticements: Aurors, casefic, partners, pining, awkward bed sharing, sexual tension, snark, society shenanigans, dragons
Summary: That night Draco dreams, and he is the ghost in his garden. He is both silvered figment and his own solid and flesh face pressing against the window, watching. Spinning and spun, haunting and haunted. Turned and turning, an open mouth with no sound.
Harry and Draco are thrown together on an investigation into a sinister political movement.

My thoughts: This fic is so beautifully written, with this sort of permeating melancholy that I really love. It explores the politics of the Magical world, which is something I find really cool, as well as being a great auror mystery. So many good characterisation and the character arc is beautiful. Wonderful story.

Okay, over to some beautiful Tumblr arts:

This drawing by dasstark might be one of my favourite portraits ever of Ginny. She looks so fierce and beautiful and cool and her hair is so stunning. I might be in love.

This incredibly beautiful picture of the Marauders by upthehillart. The whole vibe of the picture is so great, with the warmth of the Gryffindor commonroom and the light from the fireplace. Plus, Sirius is stunning, which I guess is as it should be.

Also this stunning little comic by 8c of Ginny and Luna is too adorable for words. *sighs happily*

Also, in the end, does anyone fancy some One Direction fics? Because in this rec post I go on about all my favourites, and let's face it, I won't miss an opportunity to flail about them ;)

Title: I know I want you far too much
Rating: PG-13 (NSFW to be safe?)
Medium: Digital
Characters: Harry/Draco
Disclaimer: The characters belong to J.K. Rowling. No copyright infringement is intended and no money is being made by this fanwork.
Notes: This is probably the naughtiest thing I've made in a while, so, enjoy I guess? Nothing explicit, though. The title is from Take Shelter by Years & Years, which gave it a bit of a more angsty vibe in my head than I'd initially thought, but it doesn't have to be! Hope you're all having a good end of the year! I've only two days left as a 27 year old o_O Wow, that means I've been around for three years now! It's flown by!!

Title: I don't care about the others (I just wanna be with you)
Rating: G
Medium: Digital
Characters: Ginny/Luna
Disclaimer: The characters belong to J.K. Rowling. No copyright infringement is intended and no money is being made by this fanwork.
Notes: I just felt like drawing some wlw, and Ginny/Luna is probably the closest thing I have to an otp on the femmeslash side of things. Title from Ekkah - Small Talk. For some reason that song screams Luna/Ginny to me.

Title: It's called a hoodie
Pairing(s): Draco
Art Medium: Digital painting
Rating: G
Warning(s): None
Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: “What are you wearing?”

Draco shrugged and tucked his hands into the pocket of Harry’s red hoodie. “It’s comfortable,” he said defensively. “I rather like these pocket shirts of yours.” from All Our Secrets Laid Bare by firethesound.

Notes: firethesound, I very recently reread this wonderful story of yours, and I find the idea of Draco scowling at being caught out, wearing Harry's 'Pocket shirt' so endearing. I'd really wanted to make you something for your birthday, but had absolutely no time back then, so consider this a veeeery belated birthday present? I'm sorry about the wonky hood, but those things are hard to draw.

Popping my head out from my temporary MIA status to flail about this! Such a lovely idea and really something I feel like we needed right now. Thank you so much, lokifan, for coming up with and hosting this <3 I can't believe how nice you guys are to me!! You're making me cry <3<3<3

A bit late with this, but here's the art I made for hp_drizzle. Thanks to my wonderful capitu for looking it over :)

Title: Let's pretend it's easy
Pairing(s): Draco/Harry
Art Medium: Digital painting
Rating: G
Warning(s): None
Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: Draco and Harry steal a moment away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Hidden away in a field they can just be.

This has been lurking in my laptop half-finished for a while, so I figured it was time to get it done. Here's my Dean Thomas, wearing, of course, a 1999 West Ham shirt a shame he isn't an Arsenal supporter, but it could be worse ;).

So, this was my art for hd_tropes this year. It was fun seeing the fest back, and also that there were so many new names. I got a marvellous gift myself, and this was what I made for the fest. Reposting it here, since the fest posted it on AO3 only.

Title: All is revealed in time
Rating: G
Characters: Harry/Draco
Epilogue Compliant? No
Summary: Auror Potter and Unspeakable Malfoy have to travel to the past to solve a case.
Note: Dear glittering_git, I hope you like what I did for this trope. I went for a simple time traveling frame for this one, and let the story be up to interpretation. Thanks for the mods for making this amazing fest again!
