Someone nominated this story (and presumably several of you voted) for the hpfanficfanpoll awards this time around, and I want to thank you so much for that! Especially that it's this story. I'm so thrilled by that! *hugs all of you* And truly, the company I'm in on the virtual podium and whatnot? STELLAR! I really, really appreciate it. <3




(Charlie/Harry/Draco/Teddy)


Thanks again. <33

I was just so much the weak link in Hufflepuff, I can't even. Which is good! My fellow Puffs rocked it like WHOA. They'd give the most Slytherin Slytherin a run for their money, let me tell you!

Anyway, here are my most modest numbers. But man, what fun!

( Break Down Under the Cut! )


...for a grand total of 58 points. :-)

Six more recs from dracotops_harry! Okay, so, one of these I already rec'd even though I'd decided to do a rec post with just stuff from my own prompts after the fest wrap-up anyway. I dunno, I flipped out, what can I say?

Anyway! CHECK THESE OUT (if you haven't already)!!!!

Be Prepared by birdsofshore | NC-17, 3,600 words, Warnings: Major consent issues, although everyone has a mighty fine time. Sneaky!Harry. Voyeurism. Ridiculousness.

Summary: Draco was just trying to have a quiet bath. Now Potter has some explaining to do.

Okay, so my prompt was that Harry rides Draco's cock in the prefects' bath, and I just casually threw in that maybe Draco's thinking, 'How the hell did I end up with my cock up Potter's arse???' right? So Birds took that and, like, WENT PLACES. Like, Draco really doesn't know how he ended up with Harry in his lap, impaled on his cock and happily wriggling. It's fucking HILARIOUS. But of course, it's also hot, because hello! Draco's cock up Harry's arse! While they have this fucking ridiculous conversation about it. I've read this story three times, and seriously, it only gets funnier and better somehow.


In Motion by drarryxlover | NC-17, 5,700 words, Warnings: angst

Summary: Sex is emotion in motion -- Mae West

My prompt was essentially just slow, sleepy, on-their-sides fucking, and this delivers that really beautifully but then adds this lovely story of acceptance and standing up for one's self. The sex at the beginning is wonderfully hot and exactly what I would have hoped for, but my favorite part is the end, which made me want to cheer for Harry and Draco. <3


Any Dark Alley by iwao |NC-17, sketching pencils, Warning(s): Half-clothed sex. Outdoors sex. Semi-public sex. Sex. Also, bare bottoms and peens. Lol!

Summary: Catching Dark Wizards is a stressful job. Thank Merlin there are ways to relieve the stress. Any dark alley will do.


I prompted for Auror!sex, against the wall from behind and HELLO!!!! So, yeah, this SO DELIVERS. I already rec'd it, so I won't go on and on here. You should just totally click on this link. That is all. :-9

Recs for fics NOT from my prompts, just because they're so awesome and I was going to do a separate post for them but if I do them here, I realized, I get points at writcraft's comment-a-thon, lol:


An Act of Kindness for One Harry Potter by a Sympathetic Draco Malfoy by 0idontknow0 | NC-17, 15,000 words

Summary: As Draco leaned on the wall to wait for them to get dressed, he could not help feeling like he had done a very kind thing by disrupting them. Someone should give Potter a better rogering than that sorry sod had. The man had saved the bloody world—okay, mostly Europe—the least someone could do was give him a proper shag.

Draco walks in on his roommate, Harry Potter, getting really badly shagged and says, "Okay, that's your anus and my cue to leave." *cue me dying laughing* And it just keeps going, being so funny, so endearing, so HOT. It's such an engaging and entertaining read. It went really fast, and I didn't want it to end. <3


The Rose Tattoo, written by vaysh and drawn by raitala | PG-13, 3,200 words

Summary: A drunken tattoo becomes the anchor and compass in Draco's life.

Atmospheric language, gorgeous art... I loved the mystery of this story. I didn't know what was going to happen. When the end happens, and I got it, I grasped my heart like an old lady and sighed. And then I just stared at the art. Really beautiful piece.


Last City by zeitgeistic | NC-17, 27,500 words

Summary: Twenty-four Twenty-three men, six cities, and one unusual sexual requirement.

OMG, soooooooooo funny!!!!! Read it for the humor alone. But no. Don't. Read it for the beautiful UST, the blazing hot sex, the great lines, the angst and the heart and the ahhhhhhh! Just read it. Like you haven't already. ;-)

I've been thinking of making this post for days. It just feels...necessary.

I want to take this moment, outside of responding individually to people's comments on my stories, to just THANK YOU ALL SO FUCKING MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of my readers and commenters... I just don't thank you enough, I think. I can't tell you how grateful I am for all of you taking the time to read what I write and let me know you enjoyed it. It means so very much to me, and I cherish all of your comments on my stories.

Fandom runs on mutual affection -- our affection for our source material, for certain characters, for writing/drawing/pod-ficcing, and for each other.

I just wanted to take a moment today and say thank you for being this beacon of light in my life, for appreciating what I write, for sharing this with me, and for being truly awesome people who I look forward to interacting with daily. From the lurker who has to gear themselves up to say, "I really liked this," (maybe someone I hardly know), to those of you who have become some of my closest friends, people I will be grateful for knowing my whole life...thank you ALL for making this a place I can come and experience true community, support, laughs, tears, advice, and encouragement.

I love fandom, and I love you guys.

Thank you!

You guys know me. Um, HELL YES PLEASE!

come join hp_crossgenfest!

Title: Too Close to Call
Author: traintracks
Threesome: Harry/Hermione/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Words: ~750
Content: beard fetish, cunnilingus, finger fucking, threesome
A/N: I'm not even including a summary. This is total PWP; see the content. Unbeta'd, so forgive any mistakes!


( Too Close to Call )

Three STELLAR recs! (Well, the fanworks are stellar; I'm not as sure about my reccing ability since so often it devolves into flail. ;-) )

In the Interest of Interhouse Cooperation by firethesound at dracotops_harry | NC-17, 12k, Content: A slight bit of dominance during sex, and maybe a teensy bit of dub-con.

Summary: Organizing a Duelling Club was supposed to be a fun extracurricular activity for Harry’s 8th year. But add in Draco Malfoy and a malfunctioning Room of Requirement, and things can’t help but get complicated.

Why rec'd: Will a huge keyboard smash suffice? Because I don't know where to start with this one! First, I about died laughing throughout. The author (who I am 99.99% sure about) has a killer sense of humor and the writing skill to really pull it off perfectly. And half the laughs come during scenes that are also blisteringly hot, so that just makes it better. And speaking of hot...SDFS;ALHFSLGHSALHGDSH!!! You get the picture, right? GO READ THIS! It's everything great about 8th year, stuck!fic, their animosity, and their unfailing UST.


Stag Night by iwao | NC-17, Content: Erm, dingy pub toilet? And a blow job.

Why rec'd: It's iwao -- do you have to ask?? Just look at the content and allow me to ask, what the hell are you waiting for?! But if you're still stubbornly here, I will add that this is a beautiful rendition of a hot and angsty scene from sdkshelly's Take Me Down, and believe it or not, you'll love the art even more if you read this first. AND, on top of all that, 'Stag Night' is actually a prequel to a second piece of art by iwao for this story. (I include the link for THAT in a previous rec, so check it out!)


Save My Wonders by sdkshelly at dracotops_harry | NC-17, 21k, Content: chubby!Draco, angst relating to body issues (no fat shaming) (emphasis is the reccer's).

Summary: Immediately chocolate assaulted Draco's senses. Warm melted chocolate mixed with his mother's roses and... something else. Something new. Freshly scrubbed skin and maybe a faint sheen of sweat. It was so familiar...

And it only intensified when Potter came up behind him...

Why rec'd: Wow. Well, let's see. I don't often say this, but this story...it's important. So often, we writers (myself very much included) make 'perfect' bodies, and hey, that's super fun, so I'm not knocking it. But this story rethinks perfection; it acknowledges something so often ignored in fanfiction and that is a fuller, more diversified expression of this human experience we're all having. The author's Draco is fat. Harry wants him. Harry's got it bad. But Draco can't believe that he would. It's handled so deftly and with such personal care and love for the characters and their situation that this story isn't just great because it's fat-positive or because the H/D is beautifully done or because it's superbly written. It's great because it transcends all of those individual successes and becomes more than the sum total of its parts. This story speaks to the heart of the issue and asks us to open our hearts not only to the idea of a beloved character with a culturally non-ideal body, but to ourselves as well.

Please take the 'no fat shaming' part of the content seriously. The intent of this story is not to get Draco to lose weight and thereby feel good about himself. (I should know; I beta'd it.) So if you're going into it unready for the unconditional love you'll find there, know that it may press your buttons. Please be mindful in your comments not to do the very fat-shaming that the story so brilliantly subverts.

That said, dive in and enjoy. It's clever, funny, sweet, HOT, and moving. This story really is a rare treat. <3

Title: My Horntail
Author: traintracks
Pairing: Sirius/Harry
Rating: R
Words: 100
Warnings: cross-gen, possibly chan (or AU)
Written for: harry100's prompt, "Hungarian Horntail"
Summary: There's only one way to tame this dragon.
A/N: Just a little writing practice tonight. And I missed my other HP OTP. ;-)


( My Horntail )

Not much to say except that I finally went through my inbox and responded to people, YAY!! And after a bit of a drought, I wrote 2,258 words on harrybang yesterday! Whooo!!! I'm having to remind myself that this is a 50k (or more!) story, so all this UST I'm dying to write (and am writing) is probably going too far too fast, but ahhhhh, HARRY WANTS TO JUMP MALFOY'S BONES, AM I RIGHT?!?!

*breathes*

I may have to take out some of this staring and attraction in rewrites, but for now my Id is winning. LOL!

All right, that's it. Just Spring cleaning today and this week and this month! And writing, writing, writing. And taking walks in these gorgeous days we're having!

Hope you are all well and good. Thanks for listening. <3
