When has Plan A ever worked?

I read this when it was first posted and really should have recced it then, but now there's a piccie to go with it.

Ensnared by Karadin (also present on LJ as karadin) Summary: Professor Potter comes upon an experiment in Greenhouse One. One-shot, excellent smut!

And a picture to go with it here. Read the story first, the piccie will make more sense. oh, and picce Most Definitely NSFW!!!

This is for my best friend, who just bought herself a leather wrist strap.

Drawn by lovely_slyth. Rather hot (but in a subtle way) one-shot.
Summary: The very last Hogsmeade weekend of sixth year, Harry Potter came back from the village wearing a band of braided leather around his wrist...

I'm catching up on my posting this evening.

Firstly, I'd like to thank silver_etoile for a) writing such great fics (find them here), b) for letting me know that AdultFanFiction is back up and running and c) for reminding me about her recs list, which is rather extensive. Thank you! *hugs*

So, one from aforementioned list: Seamus is Seamus and You are Yourself by Ari Munami. 17 chapters of entertainment and amusement. Only rated Pg-13, so a tragic lack of smut, but the story (and a good imagination) makes up for that.

Summary thus: Harry goes through some er... changes in his Sixth Year and everyone, including Draco Malfoy, sits up and takes notice.

Also this one-shot from the same author. Highly giggle-worthy.

Mmmm, this is a nice one. Valentine's Day Repeated is a Groundhog Day type thingy by author Cosmic. I like the concept (even if it's not original) and the progression of Draco's character as he relives the day, and the angsty bit in the middle is well done.

Chapters: 5
Rated: R

How much do I love Anna Fugazzi??

I've just finished reading Bond after discovering it in its entirety on FF.net. Wow, what a rollercoaster!

I skipped over this fic for ages because of the cynical summary: "Yet another one of those Harry And Draco Are Forced To Be Together By Something Beyond Their Control And Then Stuff Happens Leading To Twoo Wuv stories. Because every HD writer has to write at least one." But then I was bored one night and clicked on it.

And Oh. My. God! The writing is wonderful, the characters are believable - right down to Draco's stubborn resistance to see his Father for what he really is - and the plot twists dig at your heart. I swear, I was on the verge of tears for some of those chapters.

It's 22 chapters long, and worth every second of the time it will take to read it.

Two posts in one day! I don't update my RL journal like this.

Anyway, my best friend sent me the link to this story. Love my best friend!

The story is called Dragon Tamer, summary thus: Desperate to avoid an arranged marriage, Draco gets Harry to pretend to be his boyfriend. An epic romantic farce with snogging, snarky boys, singing, sex-gods, and a bunny named Draco Lucius Malfoy the Third. Author is jennavere

Highly amusing, very sexy, much fun (jealous Draco, mmmm). BUT... it's a WiP, and hasn't been updated in a while, and got left on a stunning cliffie. After dinner, I'm going to have a hunt round to see if it's posted on another archive with a more recent update. But dinner is first.

EDIT: Ok, no other archive *sob*. Will just have to be patient... I can do that... no, really!

EDIT 2: Many thanks to silver_etoile for pointing out that this story is complete on FictionAlley, here. 29 chapters, gets a little slow towards the end, but worth it for the finale. And for the House-Elf named Yoda. But this is the R-rated version, not the NC-17 version (which is the one on Skyehawke). Ah well, I live in hope that the smutty version will be completed someday.
