Another Batch of Holiday Recs
Dec. 30th, 2006 09:04 pmA Snow-Red Love Song by anonymous [Harry/Lucius, R]
Summary: "I own you, make no mistake about that, but I remember how you were before you were owned and I am arrogant enough to want that creature in my bed because he wants to be there."
I 'eeeeped' with delight at every other sentence of this amazing gem. Lucius trying to make his 'slave' to come to him voluntarily, and falling into the trap himself. Wow. *This* is the way the gentler side of H/L should be written - totally amazing, and bittersweet.
Half a Perfect World by anonymous [Regulus, Sirius, PG-13]
Summary: "And now put your hands together for the astounding, the mesmerising, the incredible Black brothers!" (AU)
Usually non-magical AUs aren't my favourite things, but this is truly extraordinary. The characterisation, the emotion, the sheer beauty of the writing, the realism of it... give it a try – you won't regret it.
Where the layers of dust lie, dying by anonymous [Sirius/Harry, Sirius/Peter, NC-17]
Sirius and Harry have been captured by the Death Eaters... The way Sirius has to watch Harry hurt here (and has to hurt him himself), and the brittle, laconic way it's described had me first in shudders, then in tears. Incredibly vivid, and the way Sirius tries to keep up his godson's spirits while almost breaking inside... incredibly powerful stuff!
Breaking Point by anonymous [Harry/Lucius, others, NC-17]
Summary: "Killing you, Harry, would only make you a martyr. Humbling you will make you, instead, an example."
The sheer kinky *hotness* of this is amazing, but the psychology - the way Lucius is wearing down Harry's defences with one evil scheme after the other until, well... you'll have to read it to find out, won't you? And you won't regret it for sure!
Under the Cold, Wan Moon by anonymous [Draco/Harry, R]
Draco is hid away under Fidelius in Grimmauld Place after HBP... One of the most brilliant, in-character Draco's I've seen - his clashes with Harry are wonderful, but the interaction between Draco and Remus made it truly wonderful. Plus, a breath-taking adventure story too.
If These Be Right by anonymous [Harry/Sirius, NC-17]
Summary: Harry struggles with the usual teenage issues. Sirius gladly lends a hand.
And a dose of humour after all the angst. Harry and his 'penile' issues, and the quintessential concerned, *sly* Sirius... just plain hilarious and with glowing, canonical characterisation. So much fun!
And, well, one last one I agreed not to rec someplace else, but my conscience keeps bothering me, so...
All I Want for Christmas by anonymous [Hermione/Lucius, NC-17]
Summary: Hermione must replace what she took from the Malfoys.
Don't be mislead by the BDSM label – it's straightforward noncon, and extremely kinky noncon to boot – well-written, and excellent piece of PWP, but... I sound like a wuss here, but it nearly squicked me. Few writers have ever managed to sell me grooming *or* house-elves in a PWP, and seeing both together... *ducks* ;). But for the less squeamish, it'll be a great kinky ride.
