Fanfic Friday!

Beware long post.

Fanfic Friday > Follow Friday, because you spend your entire day reading the suggested fanfics. :D

Today’s fandom is Harry Potter.

Between the Shadow and the Soul – Hermione & Draco
Bad Summary: So liek, years ago, Hermione and Draco got into a little enemies-with-benefits thing that became bit more. But then they got married and ended it… and years pass, and well, they aren’t fully over eachother… are they?
Worse Review: This one is CUTE. And sexy, to a point. It’s a good writing style, and as it develops, you just feel for Hermione (and Draco)… plus, when certain facts come clear, I just wanted to giggle. Good for a pick-me-up when you want something smart & sexy.

Perplexity – Hugo & James
Bad summary: Everyone would be cool if Lily & Hugo got together… too bad Hugo wants her brother.
Worse review: Hehe, cute and funny. Slash, of course, but you want to poke Hugo for just being so innocently dumb about James. :3

Of Princes and Fireflies – Harry & OC
Okay, here’s a sappy, Hermione/Ron-hating slashy Harry Potter fanfic. It jets off big-time in HBP, with Harry becoming obsessed with someone not Draco (so sadly, it’s not Haraco/Drarry) – instead a younger Hufflepuff. It’s… an interesting story, bringing a whole new light to the magical world, where legitimacy is key. Mom and dad not married? You don’t count for anything… it’s an interesting look into a different world.
It’s a little over the top in terms of sappiness, but if you want to read pure fluff, pick this up.

An Affair to Remember – Hermione & Draco
They both teach at Hogwarts. They are both single (kinda, Hermione is married but Ron is screwing Lavender on a regular basis and she hasn’t had sex in ages) so when Draco finally manages to fuck her in the library… well, it becomes an affair to remember.
Lots of sex, but it gets cute and fluffy in the second half of the second chapter and through the 3rd. Cute ♥ I read this because of…

Mimi’s Black Rose – Hermione & Draco
Only read this if you want to cry. Seriously. It’s beautiful, and it’s beyond sad. When you find out you’re going to die… well, you have to live those last two years to the max…

The Slythindor – Scorpius
JKR is evil, for not giving us the houses of the next gen. This is one of the many stories that puts Scorpius in Gryffindor… he gets the nickname from Rose. Who he hates. And Albus too. But for some reason, Albus thinks they’re BFFs.
Note: The story, in my opinion, lost it’s fun when it switched the third year. I’d suggest just dropping it at that point, and considering it done. It just gets stupid and introduces a couple new characters that don’t have any point in the story…

Leading By Example – Harry & Draco
Draco’s Slytherins are getting fucked with. So he comes up with a plan of getting Potter to save them. :) Cute and rather fluffy…~

Little Red Courgette – Harry & Draco
I think this is best described as crack. Seriously. The FFN description: “Draco Malfoy’s postwar career as a Ministry functionary has been a slow progression upwards in the world. So it seems profoundly unfair that it should all be thrown into disarray by a combination of undersized vegetables and the disillusioned Head Auror.” Yes. It’s full of veggies. I think it’s a major metaphor but it boggles the brain too much. XD

Veela Hell of a Summer – Hermione & Draco
Hermione is out, Draco goes for a walk, and they run into each other. Realizing that they’re not too far apart leads to a short truce, which of course (this is a fanfic) leads to more. Cute, of course. ♥

That’s it for now… :) Check ‘em out!

A few quick short slash fics

Untitled – The Fag and The Bully.
Cute and I can relate…

The Doll in the Grass – A classic fairy tale. Slashed.
Awww ♥ A cute little fairy tale.

Cliches Of Gays – Cooking. Sex. Cross-dressing. Gay bars. All in the life of a gay boy. Well, at least, a gay boy that Trevor wants to be. Jesse thinks otherwise.
Adorable characters and……

OMG LOOK AT THE PROFILE. bbl

Note regarding Percy/Nico

New OTP is awesome.

OTP, by the way, means “one true pairing”. Hehe.

“Family Dinner” – that one? I left a review on ff.net and the author was happy. :) She responded to me, seems pretty cool.

And the one I linked to and mentioned in the Fandom post? Well, that story is actually the 3rd in a series. Well, today I read the first. Tomorrow I will read the second. <_>

It’s a Percy/Nico love story, durr, and very cute. It’s somewhat canonical, but completely ignores the final book. Kinda have to for the story to work. But there is no problem with cutting out a book to make a cute love story happen :)

It starts with “Too Strong a God” and can be found here.

Squee~ ^^

A little love story is cute

NOTE: This post has slight spoilers for the Percy Jackson series, including a character that doesn’t appear until the 3rd book. (Or maybe the second, I dunno) As well as his parentage. I also talk about how the series ends briefly :P

Every now and then, I tend to get kinda down. Today was one of those days. I don’t really have a reasoning for being down, it’s just… sigh. So what is there to cheer me up? Sometimes I’ll bug my friends, or I’ll play some games, or whatever… today, I decided to continue in my quest for understanding of the Percy Jackson fandom. And to do that, I found fanfic.

And I think I found my new OTP. Nico, by the way, is my favorite character in the books. I’m always a fan of the kinda depressing-emo-whatever characters. Lone wolfs in Digimon, whatever. But yeah, Nico was my favorite character from the moment he arrived. He’s got the whole my-life-sucks-cuz-I’m-Hades’-kid deal going on.

SO, without further ado, I rec Family Dinner by Amethyst Grey to you. It follows canon for the most part – even with the Annabeth girlfriend thing that comes at the end of book 5. But basically, it’s a heartwarming series about the dating Percy and Nico having their parents (Sally, Poseidon, and Hades) over for dinner. It has the quirks of canon and still has that fun little lovey-dovey theme that can just make you giggle, especially the ending scene.

It’s a quick one shot, and only 7,000 words so a quick read. But wahhh it’ll make you smile :)

You can find it HERE – it’s been added to my list of favorites! ^^

And durr, if you haven’t gotten it already, it’s slash. As in Nico/Percy GAYSEX. Woo!

Creepy ghost love story

Okay, so I am a big fan of ghost stories. The Haunting is one of my favorite TV Shows, and if you can mix a ghost into a story, I’ll be a reader. Don’t you worry. (I’m also a werewolf/vampire fan – supernatural ftw)

Today, I came across, sadly, the start of a story. It’s not been updated since June, but the author has about a million other stories going on. It’s called “Dream Lover”

Young Donnie and his friends have taken it upon themselves to experiment with the exhilarating practice of ‘lucid dreaming’! Controlling their subconscious dreams and thoughts, creating a world of their own by building an interactive fantasy in their own minds! BUT…when Donnie begins dreaming repeatedly about a cute teen boy that loves him with his whole heart….is the boy just a figment of his imagination? Or has their little experiment somehow crossed a spiritual line…into a world that they know nothing about? What happens when your dreams are more real than you’re prepared to deal with?

It starts out light hearted and funny, and progresses into something that’s riveting and keeps you reading the words quicker than your brain can comprehend them. Donnie is a likable character who no one believes, and they all think he’s just turned his fantasy into a creepy dream.

It is awesome, and I’m hoping for another chapter to come soon. It has the potential to even end with a total of 5 chapters or so, so it’s not like it’s huge. But man, it’s quite an interesting pull.

You can read it here, and I gotta admit I’m a little worried about going to sleep myself!!
