All Tomorrow's Parties - Harry/Draco (peripheral Harry/Ginny, Draco/Pansy, Draco/Blaise) [R] by Anon Author.

I am just a little bit in love with this fic. Well, okay, maybe I'm a lot in love with this fic.

Ever since I wrote 'We'll Always Have Paris', I've been obsessed with the idea of Harry and Draco either on holiday in Japan or living there.

Here's a delicious excerpt from ATP:

That night, they bathe in Kabukichou neon, looking for a lead. They do more kissing than looking, and Draco starts to wonder if it was such a great idea to pair them up after all. Their particular brand of resolving differences doesn't allow for much time doing anything else.

They're standing outside a love hotel, trying to decide if the kanji on its sign match the scrap of paper Harry was given yesterday.

That - made me crave a bowl of udon noodles. And it made my toes curl something fierce. Mmm! *G*

The fic is broken up into several vignettes, all of which are different scenarios based on lillithium's art. It's quite involved for such a short fic (5000 words), but it's perfect. I wouldn't have added or subtracted a word. I'm giving this fic five engine revs from the Ninja. Seriously, I highly recommend this.

For Whatever Ails You [NC-17] by Anon Author.

Nothing is more endearing to me than letter writing or prose in fics. I think it takes a special kind of talent to express feeling through word alone.

That said, there are poems throughout this sexy-fun-romantic romp, and I couldn't have enjoyed the slow build-up or the execution any more than I did. Draco's a perfect prickly bastard here, and the dynamic's heartwarming yet genuine. This author really knows how to put the boys together and keep them in character.

Oh, and did I mention there's rimming, and it's scorchingly hot?
