More FIC RECS (and Smutmas guesses...)

[kennahijja]

Two final Smutmas recs:

To Stopper Death by anonymous [Severus/Regulus, Severus/Lucius, Lucius/Narcissa, Severus/Lucius/Narcissa]
Summary: Post-DH, the past is still very much with Lucius.
Lucius, coming to terms with his past with Regulus and Snape and Narcissa, and the post-war presence in exile. This has a gorgeous, two-tier plotline and absolutely superb Lucius-characterisation! One of the absolute highlights in this year's exchanges for me. It's such a pleasure to see your favourite character done so much justic. Read, oh please!

Just Like a Gryffindor by anonymous [Harry/Draco, NC-17]
Summary: Draco hasn't gotten over the war yet, but the real problem is that everyone else has. So when an old curse comes back to haunt him, maybe he doesn't resent it quite as much as he should.
Another wonderful H/D with an intriguing plotline, excellent characterisation and a beautiful, un-sappy romance. Wah - who can keep up a "there's too much H/D"-whine when fics like this one keep popping up? Just great!

And, since Smutmas reveals are tomorrow, here's a handful list of guesses for personal reference (and for people to laugh and point because I'm awful at it...). I realised that I have a mental list of great Snarry fics and another of great Snarry writers, but am totally incapable of individual guesses. H/D is almost as bad... Only the first two I'd be willing to put a *very* small sum of money on ;). Still haven't read a handful, yet...

You Didn't Think They Just Sold It To Him, Did You? - amanuensis1?
Wandlore - son_of_darkness?
Just Like a Gryffindor - mijan?
To Stopper Death - leni_jess? (or cluegirl?)
The Haunting of Grimmauld Place - fluffyllama?
On the Proper Appreciation and Manipulation of Pricks, by Fleur Delacour, Tri-Wizard Champion - josan? (I'm *really* uncertain here...)
Interrogation - gauriel?
Their Private Literature - ausmac?
Tabu - the_con_cept? (That was my gut reaction - though I also could imagine her writing The Tryst...)
Goat Song - femmequixotic? (or atdelphi...?)
What Heaven We're In - snegurochka_lee?
The Arrangement - if leni_jess didn't write the above, then maybe this?
Kiss A Boy In London Town (And Other Intimate Misadventures of A Society Whore) - emmagrant01?
Same Time, Next Year - teaspoon?
Suppliance of a Minute - cluegirl? (I'm awfully torn between this and the above, and probably wrong about both...)
Well, Who Hasn't Kissed Ginny Weasley? - coffee_n_cocoa?
Love Like a Razorblade - furiosity?

I wish I'd written that! I can't write humor at all well, though, and that was hysterically funny. I'd say shocolate wrote it, only there's very little Ron, and he's her specialty. *ponders*

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

Icon!Love!!!

Damn, another one down! But being wrong is half the fun ;). And now that you mention it... but though Ron's lacking, he's got the best line...

[gmth.livejournal.com]

Not bad, you got a fair number right. :-)

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

Heh :). It's so much fun ;).

*hugs*

[silverhielm.livejournal.com]

I am pretty sure about amanuensis writing "You Didn't Think...", too!

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

Though considering how wrong I was about hers last year...

[mijan.livejournal.com]

*giggle* I'm glad you liked the fic that you guessed I wrote - that means you have confidence in my writing abilities! But... no. Not mine. In fact, now I'll have to read it to see if it's any good! The rec comment you left (above) seems promising.

Anyway, I can tell you that based on the review you left, you did like the one I actually wrote. And I'll bet it'll surprise you. :)

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

Damn, damn! There were a lot of great, long H/Ds this time, and a lot of great H/D writer suspects, but I *thought* I saw your hand behind Draco's break with his family... Ah well, I know I'm lousy at it but it's so much fun :).

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Hehe... I just find it funny that you thought son_of_darkness wrote the fic that I wrote!

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

Dunno why I was so *certain* about this... Well, yes, his earlier festfics gave me the same gut feeling as this, weirdly enough, and I might see your Draco still a bit coloured through the pink-tinged glasses from 'Eclipse' - he definitely had an edge here, which I adored, and that'll cure me of *that* misconception!

It's still one of my definite favourites this year :).

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

Ooh, some interesting guesses! I'm looking forward to seeing how many of those are right :)

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

Me too :).

[chthonya]

Wow - thanks for the Luciusfic rec! That's awesome.

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

Isn't it just? In a "my, you'd be shiny as mostly gen, too!" way :). Not that I'm complaining... at all! :)
