RECS: Half a Dozen H/D Eggs
Apr. 18th, 2008 08:33 pmMy favourite ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hd_worldcup entries so far, all strangely unsmutty... Only got around to looking at a bit over half of the menu so far, though.
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by anonymous [H/D, R]
Summary: Draco Malfoy always gets what he wants. Only, this time, what he wants is someone he can never have.
I'm insanely fond of this fest's two dungeonfics, and this is one. Also, if you know how much I hate Veela!Draco, you'll appreciate that this has to be extraordinary to make me read and rec. But Draco not in control of his desires makes for a gorgeous plot.
Riptide by anonymous [H/D, PG-13]
Summary: (With apologies to George Lucas) "Who's the more foolish: the fool, or the fool who follows him?"
This is one of the more unique takes on H/D I've encountered, and considering how much is floating around, that's saying something. Marvellous take on infidelity and self-realisation, and definitely one of the most intelligent fics I've read in months. The ending is superb.
Best Interests by anonymous [H/D, PG-13]
Summary: Andromeda's death leaves Harry to take care of little Teddy Lupin. What will he do when Draco Malfoy comes looking for an heir?
I'm an easy victim for this, being totally in love with 'bringing up Teddy Lupin' fics. Great take on family dynamics and the strange world of magical solicitors. Both sweet and thoughtful.
A Dark Place in Time by anonymous [H/D, PG]
Summary: What on earth was her son thinking, falling for Harry Potter of all people, Narcissa wonders. But after the death of her husband, she finds him useful in many, and sometimes surprising, regards.
H/D through Narcissa's eyes, when the Malfoys are mourning for Lucius's death. Tense, realistic and absolutely heart-wrenching. Narcissa is absolutely perfect, but characterisation is great throughout. 'Team Canon' and really living up to it!
Prodigal by anonymous [H/D, mild NC-17, more R]
Summary: One year after Dumbledore's death, the tide turns in Voldemort's favour and with Harry Potter locked in the Malfoy dungeons, the fate of the Wizarding World seems bleak. Who'll save the saviour when he's in need of saving?
More dungeonfic, yay! It's team fanon, and fanon!Draco at his best, a tad more strong than his canon self, and still caught up in an impossible situation. Dark, but not too bad, with a smattering of typos but definitely good enough to rec.
What Could Have Been (And What Was) by anonymous [H/D, R]
Summary: Neither epilogue-compliant nor EWE; seven separate demonstrations that you can't stop the signal.
This is a whole basketful of H/D fics wrapped into one, with a clever, clever premise and wonderful style. The Teddy-part again rocked my socks so much! As did the resolution ;).
