Harry Potter fic

Whiny Werewolf by dracogotgame. Harry/Draco; ~1000 words; PG-13. Summary: Draco has to manage a very whiny werewolf.

This is incredibly cute, and full of funny lines. (My favourite being Then he shuffled around, turned his back on Draco and flopped down on all fours like a defeated floor rug.) Just really well done Hallowe’en fluff.

Boundaries by inell. Pansy/Hermione; ~500 words; Adult. Summary: The exhilarating thing is that the boundary always changes.

Slytherins teasing Gryffindors until said Gryffindors snap and put the naughty Slytherin firmly in their place = FAVOURITE BEST TROPE OF HP FIC. And I love that in this one Pansy never quite knows what will set Hermione off -- there’s no sense of Hermione being predictable or Pansy being in control. Hotness.

Deterrent by inell. Fred/George/Draco; ~500 words; Adult; dub-con. Summary: Fred and George have an unique deterrent for shoplifting

This is dialogue-only, which I really love, especially when it’s done well and uses characters like the Weasley twins with very distinctive voices. Add in some of my favourite kinks -- verbal humiliation, and a threesome with two friendly-with-each-other doms using their third -- and homg.

Harry Potter art

Thank you for being there for me by Anonymous. Minerva & Harry gen; G. Summary: Minerva and Harry meet up and talk about Minerva's role in Harry's life.

I love the title and their expressions, and Harry's messy hair and her jet-black bun, and the fire - it's all really warm and wonderful.

Enough by Anonymous. Minerva, Neville & the Carrows gen; G. Summary: Sometimes direct action is in order. Minerva steps in.

This is GORGEOUS. I love how elegant and ferocious Minerva looks - it's especially satisfying to see her in glasses, grey in her hair, and still terrifying - and the Carrows are wonderfully loathsome. There’s a fantastic sense of everyone else watching with baited breath; the tension is palpable. There are so many wonderful details - I love that Carrow's wand is glowing at the tip like hot metal where Minerva’s is sending off golden sparks.

Draco’s Worst Nightmare by Anonymous. Harry/Draco; G. Summary: Draco wrote his first play and he was overwhelmed when he found out a producer had liked it. That was until he found out who the producer was and what that producer had done to his lovely play. And to top it off, Potter has lost his mind.

This is such cool, creative 3D art -- the quill in particular is fantastic.

A Universal Constant by Anonymous. Harry/Draco; G. Summary: Draco is a horologist who likes to brag. Harry is reluctantly impressed. They bond over time.

DEFINITELY click twice for full resolution on this one! It is so detailed and glowy and utterly beautiful.

Every Step of the Way by Anonymous. Harry/Draco;. NC-17; abuse of the therapist/client relationship. Summary: Draco is arrested for prostitution, but instead of being sent to Azkaban he’s put in a new rehabilitative Ministry program that requires him to go to therapy instead of jail. Harry, his therapist, is going to have his work cut out!

This tells such an emotional, gripping story in just a few words and five pictures. Every image is full of emotion, and I love the progression in Draco, his hair and his body language and his clothes (which I have to say I read in a very dark way -- Draco’s clothes get baggier and less revealing as he becomes more honest, less angry and locked into his rentboy role, and then at the end he’s back in tight sleeveless gear… I love that you don’t see them together until the last image. Even going from the three initial images of Draco, to Harry the therapist in that same armchair -- FEELINGS.

Heart On My Sleeve by Anonymous. Harry/Draco; G. Summary: Harry owns a candy shop and always sets aside the best chocolate for Draco and his son.

This is full of colour and detail -- it’s really lovely to look at and I stared for ages taking in the details. I love that having got this broad image of the shop, we then get close-ups on their faces and then the INTENSELY BEAUTIFUL silhouetted kiss. ♥ ♥ ♥

Buffy vids

Giles Gets Knocked Down by shadowhisper. Giles plus various Scoobies, Jenny, and Ethan Rayne. Summary: Highlighting many of the times Giles gets the stuffing beaten out of him on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The sad thing is, this isn't even all of them. "One of these days you're gonna wake up in a coma."

FOR GRATE LOLZ. (I don’t know why including snippets of dialogue is such a thing in Buffy fandom? But I can deal with it because this is amazing.)
