kennahijjaFirst of all, for those of you suffering from acute H/D overload, two non-worldcup recs :)
Things that Go Bump in the Night by anonymous [Fenrir/Draco, NC-17]
Summary: Revenge is sweet.
Recommended if you like your fics dark and are in the mood for a short sharp shock. There are fics that are awfully exciting in their evilness, and this is definitely one of them. Brilliant characterisation, brilliant ending. *shudders*
Five Times Lucius Malfoy and Ron Weasley Clash by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stonegrad [Ron/Lucius, NC-17]
Yes, it was written for me, but even at my most impartial it's *still* one of the most gorgeous Ron/Lucius stories I've read. The sort of fic that reminds me why I love this pairing to bits. Her Lucius... mmmh, to die for! Short and seductive.
Now, to H/D:
Lamp in the Cooling Room by anonymous [Harry/Draco, R]
Summary: Draco and Harry become snared in a trap, but they're not alone. Love guides our path for reasons we can't always understand.
Hands down the best worldcup fic so far in my humble opinion, and one I doubt can be topped. Real classics material, and I don't use that term lightly. Yes, it'll probably cut your heart out but wow, what a gorgeous read. I've only ever encountered a small handful of fics that pull such a punch and are so perfectly written at the same time.
Breaking all the Rules by anonymous [Harry/Draco, NC-17]
Summary: Malfoy is slowly wringing the last vestiges of pleasure from Harry's life with all his rules and committees and agendas and reports. Or is he?
Featuring the epic battle of Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy and Dolores Umbridge for the presidency of the Southwark Swingers Club. Does it need more to recommend it? And hands-down the best take on perfectly epilogue-compliant H/D *ever*! Well, last rec post I said the worldcup dungeonfic was superb, but the fest's crackfic is equally great ;). And this is hot as heck on top of it.
Perfect Day by anonymous [Harry/Draco, mild R at most]
Summary: One day can change everything.
This is Draco-fic at its best, perfectly in character, a great, atmospherical continuation of DH that's exceptionally true to canon, with an excellent plot and just an all-round wonderful read. I really loved here!
How Do You Mend a Broken Heart? by anonymous [Harry/Draco, R]
Summary: In order to keep custody of his children, Draco needs to find a spouse that will shore up the Malfoy family's tattered reputation. But what starts off as a means to an end gets more complicated when Draco's target reawakens feelings in him that he hasn't had in a long while, and Draco starts to feel alive for the first time since his wife's death.
Before coming across this fic, I wouldn't have been able to imagine Draco with a Weasley-sized family of daughters :). It works like clockwork, and is funny, smart and poking fun at too many fanfic convention to list. Writing is *shiny*, especially when it comes to dialogue. Great fun!
Ring A-Ring O'Roses by anonymous [Harry/Draco, NC-17]
Summary: Some demons are harder to banish than others.
Ah, this has a wonderfl in-character Draco and Harry, and wow, *plot*! Plot with plot twist inside plot twist, a really intrinsically thought-out story that feels canonical and rounded and yes... It's excellent.
Precious Things by anonymous [Harry/Draco, NC-17]
Summary: Scorpius Malfoy has been kidnapped and only oneboy man hero can save the day.
This is hysterical and more than just borders on crack, but has one of the funniest, most *Malfoy* Scorpius ever, who's truly his father's son ;). Writing and puns just sparkle, and it's a great fic if you're looking for something slightly... *different* :D.

Date: 2008-05-03 02:57 am (UTC)Because I haven't seen a Lucius/Ron fic in awhile, not since your last one and you know I'm on the Lucius/Ron train with you, I enjoyed it immensely, I'm going to go there next to leave a remark. I guffawed at this;
"Harry. Where's Harry, Malfoy!"
Click of boots on the floor, and Lucius' fingers curl around the door handle.
"At his house, I believe…"
Love devious Lucius. You need to encourage more people to write Lucius/Ron, you have the power...bwahahahaha...okay, I'm starting to scare myself XD
