[fic rec] 'A Helping Hand' by softly_sweetly

[takarai-karin.livejournal.com]

We're about to hit holiday season again, so I think it'll be a good time to start reccing my favorite ones from last year's fest in various places, in case some people missed them.

This one made me chuckle and went d'awwwwww a whole lot, so I just have to share ^^

Title: A Helping Hand
Author: softly_sweetly
Pairing: Harry/Draco, brief mentions of Ron/Hermione, Draco/Blaise and Neville/Ginny
Summary: Finally doing something about his failing magic, Harry is relieved to find out his illness can be fixed. But an unexpected side-effect might produce some surprising results.
Rating: NC17

Warning(s): Fluff (but not excessive), Flangst, Post-War
Switching: No.

Hope you guys like this as much as I do ♥

Also, a quick fic search: I'm looking for recs on fics where Harry's portrayed as pursuing Draco? Extensively? Like, really fighting for him? I've been coming across lots of fics lately where Draco is the one doing the pursuing/courting, and I'd love to read the opposite of those.

Something like what you get in the amazing jennavere's works, and the likes. Thanks for any help in advance ^^

"A Season in Hell", by Cassandra Claire. Does anyone have a saved copy they can send me? All links appear to be down. I'm not going to be able to go to the midnight showing of HP7 tonight and could really use some Harry/Draco to cheer me up.

Fest Fic: It's a Cold and it's a Broken Hallelujah - Harry/Draco, PG-13

[bottomdraco-mod.livejournal.com]

Title: It’s a Cold and it’s a Broken Hallelujah
Author: khasael
Prompt: #128 by plotting_pen
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~3000
Beta:: mathnerd
Warnings: angst, non-explicit sexual scenes, use of the F-word, no happy ending, songfic
Summary: After a tumultuous break-up, Draco reflects on his life before, during, and after his relationship with Harry, revisiting both the good and the bad moments, and finally is able to make his peace with what was and what he has lost.
Author’s Notes: There are so very many versions of this song out there (Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah), and all of them contain a different combination of verses. I stuck with the ones the prompter listed, and the song shaped the fic. The prompter wanted “a sense of brokenness”, and that is what I went with. The ending is not for those of you who only want fluff/overtly happy ends to your fics, but it does have some uplift to it. If you’re familiar with the song at all, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise.
