Weekend recs post: old habits die hard

[lokifan]

It’s been way too long since I did one of these. Since this month is Daily Deviant’s TENTH BIRTHDAY, what the actual fuck, this is fourteen old favourites of mine chosen from DD. I need to do something other today than reread and rec porn (sadly) so I’m not reccing anything I remember reccing before.

Harry Potter fic
A Successful Distraction by alisanne. Neville/Draco; ~3300 words; NC-17; light bondage, object insertion. Summary: Neville and Draco manage to distract each other very effectively.

This changes POV midway which is a bit confusing, but you should read it anyway. Neville and Draco, Harry’s mirrors, are both a bit sad to see him marry - and end up finding something in each other. I love this pairing, especially done like this - a slightly self-destructive sub!Draco liking dangerous men finds sweetly dominant Neville taking total control, and of course really Neville’s the most dangerous of all :D

Once Upon A Sleepy Afternoon by kabal42 and elfflame. Harry/Draco; ~8500 words; NC-17; bondage, light D/s, temperature play. Summary: Draco and Harry discuss their preferences with help from a book Draco found in their library.

This is incredibly fluffy and sweet as well as being hot and heavy, and it feels very realistic to me - a kinky couple going through a list of suggested kinks, surprising each other or not by turns. They talk to each other the way RL kinksters I know do as well, which is another reason it’s stuck in my mind.

Obedience Training by silvernatasha. Lucius Malfoy, Astoria Greengrass/Orion the dog; ~2600 words; NC-17; bestiality, sixteen-year-old Astoria; dub-con. Summary: Lucius is unimpressed with Draco's new girlfriend and decides that she needs to learn a little obedience.

I have reread this fic an embarrassing number of times. It’s got a perfect Lucius voice, it involves unusual and very hot magic, and Astoria comes across so clearly and it’s just madly hot.

Sweet Torture by elfflame. Harry/Draco; ~1600 words; NC-17. Summary: Harry makes a bet with Draco.

This is archetypal DD fic: excellently written short PWP with great interplay between characters. My own fic shows how much I love gently-dom!Harry putting Draco through his paces, and it’s done so very well here.

Watching You by snegurochka_lee. Snape/Lupin and Harry/Draco, with imagined Snape/Harry and Lupin/Draco; ~3500 words; NC-17. Summary: "I've been watching you. I've seen the way you look at him," said Lupin, his breath hot on the back of Snape's neck. "It's not right, a man your age, and in your position, looking at a student that way."

This feels longer than it is for the best of reasons - the different relationships and dynamics come across very clearly, in both what really happens and the different fantasies involved. I love the surprises and power struggles and different kinks we get to see!

Invisible Touch by leela_cat. Harry/Draco; ~2700 words; NC-17. Summary: Draco went for months without anyone touching him, until Harry invaded his bedroom one night.

Post-DH Draco is touch-starved and miserably lonely, and Harry comes to help him. This is full of emotion, as Harry invades Draco’s home invisibly and then touches and massages and rides him, as Draco pushes until he gets to see and touch Harry back. It’s really lovely.

Four Times Charlie Had Authority Over Draco and One Time He Didn’t by snegurochka_lee. Charlie/Draco; ~8500 words; NC-17. Summary: It started the week after the final battle, in a Ministry holding cell with a fake Auror and a suspect who was used to doing as he was told.

This is one of my favourite Charlie/Draco fics ever. I love the way the format lets us see their evolving relationship and life situations - and in Draco’s case, degrees of pathetic-brat-ness - and Charlie is so much fun here - using his thumbs to make his muscles bulge when his arms are crossed, playing poker with the other dragon tamers, and pinning Draco down and fucking him breathless :D

Don’t Die A Virgin by sabethea. Ron/Draco; ~1800 words; NC-17. The Battle of Hogwarts is raging, and so is Ron's sex drive. Surely he can manage to have sex before he dies in battle?

This is so hot and has such a great Ron voice and it ends so heartbreakingly. Gorgeous.

High Stakes by alisanne. Blaise/Draco; ~3200 words; NC-17; brief voyeurism/exhibitionism, chastity devices, petticoat discipline. Summary: Draco gambles and loses, or does he?

This is basically a very Slytherin romance :) Plus teh hot of course.

Yes, Minister by sabethea. Kingsley/Draco; ~1500 words; NC-17; paddling. Summary: After a rough day of Auror/other Ministry dept. training, Kingsley takes his star pupil aside for a private lesson.

This is gorgeous; I love the paddling and how much Draco gets off on it, and how Kingsley teases him for his incoherence, and how we still get the signs that Kingsley’s human under his authority-figure persona.

Relationship Reboot by florahart. Ron/Draco; ~2700 words; NC-17; infidelity. Summary: Ron visits the psychiatricist to combat his new addiction.

This Ron voice is so delightful! It’s a first-person monologue as he tries to cope with his sexuality and new feelings for Draco, and it’s funny and IC and great.

Harry Potter art

Feast by blue_onion. Fenrir/Draco; PG; implied non-con. Summary: Draco is bitten by Fenrir as punishment from Voldemort for not killing Dumbledore.

This art is just crazily intense. The look in Draco’s eyes - fear and desolation - and it’s so pregnant with everything that’s coming. It’s crazy-hot if that’s what you’re into, but it also just works as absolutely beautifully-done awful angst.

Breathless, Not Quiet by xaphania. Ginny/Pansy; NC-17; spanking, collar & leash.

Pansy’s expression and clinging to the bedclothes, Ginny’s little smile and her hold on the short leash while she spanks her - yes please.

The Dragon And His Tamer by phoenixacid. Charlie/Draco; NC-17.

Draco’s thighs are bruised, he’s bent over and helpless while tattooed, freckled, scarred Charlie rims him and enjoy the authority-figure theme. UNF.
