Revenge of Rectober (one fic and one art)!

I see people using these really adorable Rectober banners, but I can't find them on Bird's LJ. Help?

Tada:






Remember Me Fondly
Author: writcraft at daily_deviant
Characters/Pairings: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger
Rating: NC-17
Kinks/Themes Chosen: Adolescentism (a form of ageplay relating to teenage years), Impotence
Other Warnings/Content: Fisting, Rimming, Injury, Angst, Romance
Word Count: 6,700
Summary/Description: He hates remembering the way Harry - Potter - used to look at him. Most of all he hates the way that more often than not, Harry wouldn’t bother looking at him at all.
Reminiscing about the past was supposed to be fun, but with old animosities and buried insecurities, it was never going to be that straightforward.

Why rec'd: The angst is beautiful, and the characterizations are excellent. Generally, I'd say mind the warnings, but in this case I would say disregard them, because even if adolescentism is not your thing, it's not used as much as a kink here as a plot device, and it's lovely and achy and hurty and beautiful. Yes, there is fisting. I happen to dig that kink. So yes, mind that warning, but even the fisting is beautiful and wonderful and character-driven.

I love Draco's voice in this, and his baggage is sooooo what his baggage would really be in a relationship with Harry Potter. This is just a lovely piece all around.



The Storm Will Pass
Artist: Currently behind the Veil akatnamedeaster at sirius_black
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Sirius/Regulus
Rating: G
Medium: Pencil, Photoshop
Prompt #: 39: They were once each others world.
Warnings: None

Why Rec'd: Because it's absolutely beautiful!!!! The sepia tone, their expressions, the ache and the comfort and loneliness and the superb detail in the drawing. This is really fantastic art. <3 Plus, it's not exactly rated G in my own head.

*squishes you*

I have lost my internet connection (*cries*) and I was up until silly o'clock last night trying to figure out how to post the damn thing from my crappy phone (which I'm now on) so it makes me so happy to see that the effort was worth it because someone enjoyed the fic! Thank you for the rec, lovely xx
