Birth of the Serpent King by Keira Marcos.

I just finished reading this fic from a previous rec from this community...and I'm already making my way through it a second time. I love the premise of mature!powerful!badass!Harry. And while Draco is powerful!mature!awesome! all on his own as well...the combination of the two of them like this is absolutely killer, especially when Draco has these little alluring moments where he shows this neediness (I'm having some trouble putting this quality to words, so something of that idea) to Harry. Unfortunately, the fic, while a very lovely length of 103k, it's just not enough! I sincerely hope that Keira Marcos decides to do a sequel to continue this, but it doesn't seem to be in the books at this point in time.

So I'd love for some lovely (the longer the better! Seriously. EPIC fics are divine.) recs of Harry/Draco with the above mentioned traits. Thank you so much!

Also, the less of a vindictive bastard Snape is, the better the rec. I have a soft spot for the git, especially as a mentor to either Harry or Draco, but just as a minor character that doesn't actively plot the downfall of HD? Please? I'm making things harder to rec, I know, but...it's Snape! He's such a contradictory asshole, it's hard not to love him. Yeah. This is it. Really. But if you have an awesome rec with bastard!Snape, I'LL TAKE IT ANYWAYS. And...yeah. Love and HD hugs!

I don't really expect Keira Marcos to write a sequel. She mostly writes Star Gate and Star Trek fic, and from what I could glean from her blog, 'Serpent King' seems to have been a one-off. I really hope I'm wrong and she does write one. I'm afraid to ask, because when she gets irritated (which happens quite a bit) she is scary as hell and will make you cry like a little baby. Be my guest if you want to try, though. ;)

If I'm remembering correctly, Snakes and Lions (http://www.the-archive.net/viewstory.php?sid=6191) and it's sequel Teamwork (http://gatewaygirl.dreamwidth.org/tag/teamwork) (WIP) by gatewaygirl has a Harry that's fairly bad-ass. The sequel kind of reminds me of Keria's Serpent King.

There is also The Shadow of His Wings (http://theguestroom.houseofhobbits.com/hp/sohw.html) by Mirrabella, an abandoned WIP with 21 chapters that has the most awesome, bad-ass Harry and Draco characterization ever, not to mention the sexiest duel ever written in H/D land.

I sorta figured, but I'll hold onto hope. Maybe she'll write another HD fic with a similar premise? ;P I usually don't ask for sequels...except when I do, but mostly I just obsessively check blogs or ljs and be deliriously happy when one does pop up. *laughs*

I...actually haven't read either of these. o_o Oh yeah! Thank you so much for the recs!

I was reading through some comments on Accio Harry/Draco Fics and apparently Keira Marcos is writing a sequel but it's not on her LJ's WIP list.

Ok first I have to ask you a question...waht do you mean by 103k? I just know that it has 12 chapters and I don't really understand waht you mean :( Maybe it's because English is not my native language.
And now some regs:

First is Nicodemius. Maybe you already read this but it's one of my favourites with a strong Harry and Draco

Another good one is Rise of the Dark Angel. It's not finished but the author is still updating

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5908952/18/Rise_of_the_Dark_Angel

I have another one in mind but I can't remember the title...It's driving me crazy because I know I really liked it...
I try to remember it :)

[darkestnight12.livejournal.com]

I meant the word count. 103k basically mean 103,000 words.

I ADORE Nicodemus. I've reread this fic countless times already. ;D Plus, I somehow love this version of Tom/Ron. ^^;; First time EVER for me. Thank you for reminding me of it! ;DD

I haven't read this one yet! *o* It sounds promising. Thank you very much!

XD And I shall await the last title?

K is the abbreviation for thousand. 103K means 103,000.

Thanks! :)
I must have seemed a little bit stupid but I've never heard of this when I learned English. :)

Terribly late I know, but I think you'll enjoy reading Hand Wand, Will Travel (http://serpentinelion.livejournal.com/294696.html) by Laurence Ashton. Draco's admittedly much more badass than Harry but he has his moments when he's adorably lost and childish. Draco's sort of the unofficial 'leader' of Wizarding England - even the Minister of Magic listens to him.

Thank you so much for the rec! ;DD Late or not, it's much appreciated!
