Fic rec

[brummell.livejournal.com]

Hello! I've never posted here before but I would like to recommend a fic to you all if I may :)

The Empty House by hollycomb (Harry/Draco, R)

The writing is superb and the characterization of Draco is masterful; this is the Draco I am always looking for, and the one I wish I could write. It's an AU, loosely based on the premise of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The war is ongoing and Harry is injured in battle and drags himself into a cottage that appears mysteriously in the forest. It's not a light fic by any means (don't read it if you don't like angst), but I found it extremely moving and a fascinating exploration of Harry and Draco, and what they are to each other, and what they have the capability of being. Oh, and Draco most definitely bottoms :)

I hope you do enjoy it!

I have to pass on this fic because unfortunately I think I've overdone the fairy tale theme and don't have anything meaningful I could add, but I'm really excited to be reading fest entries :)) And hopefully I will be able to finish & post something before Azkatraz! That is my goal.

Thanks for the rec btw. Off to read.

I hope you enjoyed the fic! It think it is really something...rare ♥

*repost cus I is smert*

I did. I thought it was the goldest gold on the block. For some reason I find stories that have realistic endings like that far more satisfying than ones that have unrealistic endings.

No further comment from me so that I don't ruin the ending for EVERYONE lol. Sorry asdjhk =D

I wish I hadn't already written two fairy tale-based stories, otherwise I would be all over this fest! But I'm excited to read everyone's entries :))

[ayurubie.livejournal.com]

aww too bad. Im always looking forward for fests since there were times that youve joined.

anyway im glad that you're back

Reading the rec. We miss you. Come back and write. :

Read the story and I'm glad you recced it. It's a beautiful piece of work that needs to get around the fandom--it's well written and poignant, everything you would want in a story. I fell in love with it immediately after three lines, and I think, my love for it hasn't rubbed off even past the end. I'm still thinking about it, thinking about the ending. It's absolutely beautiful and thought-provoking.

I'm so glad you liked it - that story got me right back in the harry/draco MOOD because coming across a Draco like that...well, it was like finding something that had been lost, or something dramatic, heh. I don't know, I was just *shattered* after I read it. I'm so excited for the fest, really, because now I am all In The Mood and I love the idea of an entire fest where I can be assured of Draco's bottomness ;)

[dadomz.livejournal.com]

That is true! Shattered is an apt enough word to describe the emotion I felt after reading the story. I recced it to a good friend and she was all: "God, I love the author, I've known her from Supernatural." No surprises there, talent, talent. :3

:< Also, all of us were disappointed that you couldn't join the fest. :c I mean, we're all (99% at least) avid fans of your works but we understand, I mean hypothetically, two works tied to Disney is indeed a lot, even if they're all timeless, well-written pieces. We're hoping though, that you'd be willing to join the next fest (whenever that'll be) or at least, continue to write more bottom!Draco goodness or churn a bottom!Draco masterpiece out soon. :D

Is it bad that I'm actually ecstatic that you replied? :\ *end fangirl mode*
