| rec: Memoria In Aeterna (hp_sas) by potteresque_ire |
[Sep. 6th, 2009|09:31 pm] |
I'm very late in discovering this and it has already been recced everywhere, but I've read this story last night and it has haunted me the whole day. For those who don't usually read this pairing (Draco/Albus), well, I don't either, but please give it a try. Be aware however that there are very serious warnings coming with this fic (NO major character death) and you'd like to check them before reading.
Almost anything I could say would be spoilery, so I just want to add that potteresque_ire has succeeded here in creating a particularly eerie but fascinating dystopian universe. Her writing is exquisite, the characters unforgettable. Some parts are really disturbing, but the fic is not without hope, although I would not recommend this fic if you feel low.
Memoria In Aeterna
The fic was a gift for melusinahp written for hp_sas, and thanks to marguerite_26 's enthusiastic recs, I've finally yielded to the temptation of Draco/Albus and Harry/Scorpius! To be honest, I'm on the verge of admitting that Draco/Harry/Albus/Scorpius might be, in fact, the perfect pairing. *is ashamed*
GIRLS, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT IT WAS THERE, AT hp_sas THAT ALL THE PORN HAD GONE!!!
OMG. There're some filthy and absolutely delicious fics out there. I'll be reading the whole lot in the following days. |

My prompt for ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) hd_fanart</lj> has just been submitted! I can't believe how lucky I am to receive such beautiful art :)
This is an interpretation of the good old cliché of Auror!Harry picking up Whore!Draco, and well, I don't know who could resist this smug Draco, with his shirt open on a chiselled chest :) Certainly not Harry, even though he tries to play the tough Auror. The artist made a great job of suggesting sexual tension and I love how the whole scene is bathed in a strange blue light, which adds a mysterious touch to the otherwise sexy and angry mood.
And you know the best: there's a fic to come with the artwork!!! Thank you so much.
Artist: Anonymous
Title: How Much?
Media: Pencil, Photoshop
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
Notes: Not as angsty as it should be, maybe, but there is a fic attached. Later.
I'll just add that I'm really sorry not to post or comment more these times but I'm totally snowed under with work until the middle of October. I promise I'll make up for it later :( |

Hello everyone, I'm back in style with a rec :)
One of my prompt for hd_inspired "Back to School" fest was claimed and here is the amazing result. The fic is called "Burn, Burn" and I can't say how happy I am with it. First of all, it is a wonderful fic, beautifully written, with a creative imagery and a poignant story. If you love hurt/comfort, if you're a sucker for a defeated and tortured Draco, this fic is clearly for you. But please, don't be deter by the warnings: yes, there are some disturbing elements, but the author managed to deal with self-harm and bondage in a convincing and plausible way. Draco is in pain, but there is hope too. The relation between the boys is perfectly in character, and the ending promises a new beginning for both of them.
Finally, on a more personal note, I must say to the author how grateful I am for the way she handled my prompt. I know that the fest is not exactly a gift fest, but not only did she (?) manage to use all of my "requests", but she took special care in adding references that showed she had at least checked my LJ for some favourites of mine. That means a lot to me. In fact, when I saw the fic was called "Burn, Burn" and that she used Lostprophets' lyrics in the opening part, I was so excited I thought I wouldn't be able to read the fic. I was literally shaking with anticipation. I hope it's the same for you now :)
