The Empty House - Harry/Draco [R] by hollycomb.

Holly is easily one of my new favourite writers. Not only is she talented, she's full of surprises. I've read everything of hers from Calvin and Hobbs to NHL to Supernatural to Star Trek to HP next-gen. With versatility like this, I think it's safe to say that Holly has more magic in her bag of tricks than Felix the Cat. And now, she's gone and made this gal very happy with Harry/Draco. First time I've seen this pairing from her, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

In 'The Empty House', Harry escapes the battlefront grievously injured. He barely makes it to a cottage in the woods, but somehow finds the strength to Apparate inside. Alone and convinced he's about to die, Harry chooses the most modest of three rooms for the big sleep. Unbeknownst to Harry, the cottage is a safe-haven for the Malfoys, and he's about to have company.

I'd love to say that this fic is rooted in fantasy; it does have its fairy tale tendencies. But this is really a taut survivalist story. Holly places some ingenious magical wards on the cottage, and their purposes are brilliantly indecipherable until the very end. This is gripping from start to finish, and there are no outside distractions. It's all about the Harry and Draco, bébés. Wow. Just an amazing fic.

His Kiss - Remus/Sirius [PG-13 / fic and art] by kaalee / kath_ballantyne.

This was my feel-good fic of the day. I generally like my R/S much darker, but this just hit all the right spots. A lovely collab!

Surprise, Mr Potter - Harry/Scorpius, Harry/Scorpius/Teddy [NC-17] by tray_la_la.

Looking for some hot, guilt-free porn? Look no further.

I always feel so at peace when my fic itches are scratched. *G*

god, i 've had hollycomb's fic waiting for me in my bookmarks since she posted it. fucking school interfering with fandom time.

my not-so-secret inner fluff-monsterloved that r/s. but since i read about your taste for darker r/s i will suggest you to give this fic (http://trailingoff.livejournal.com/23450.html) a try if you haven't already. also, ignore my comment there, i was a wimpy little child back then. :D

Oh, I think xylodemon recced this once before when I mentioned I wanted fucked-up R/S fic. I'll take a look today, but I'm pretty sure I've never read this. I was just thinking about the R/S side of fandom yesterday, too, and that casirafics and musesfool have moved on. *le sigh*

Holly's fic was brilliant. She's damn good. And that she's writing ST now just makes me love her fics even more.

[spacefragments.livejournal.com]

a lot of the really good writers have moved on, yeah. and the new popular r/s writers just... aren't my thing, except for a few exceptions. but i saw some old favorites of mine popping up on the rs_games sign up post, which was pleasantly surprising (and some less than surprising, but pleasant all the same). and musesfool wrote r/s once last year, so i'm hoping for a repeat performance. :ppp

will read holly's fic now... should be doing schoolwork (yes, even on friday night, i hate my life), but what the hell, right.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Okay, I just read Combat Rock, and fucking LOVED it. God, that is exactly how I like my R/S. Thanks for the poke, babe :-)

[potteresque_ire]

I love the Ginny by thanfiction so much that it hurts :)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Did you ever see the other Ginny of his that I recced? With her in the Snitch knickers?

[melusinahp.livejournal.com]

The Ginny art is adorable (imo ;P) Thanks for reccing it, lovely. xxx

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I immediately thought of you when I saw that, dear ♥

[ella-bane.livejournal.com]

Man, "The Empty House" rocked my world. Loved it!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Holly is all kinds of brilliant. Maybe we should consider inviting her to SL?

[ella-bane.livejournal.com]

Check serpentine mods. *g*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Will do!

[secretsolitaire.livejournal.com]

Great stuff as always! I have Empty House bookmarked after seeing so many recs for it, but haven't had the time...

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Make the time if you can. It's really good! I know what you mean, though. I still haven't finished that James Jr/Scorpius fic I started waaay over a month ago. I suppose it doesn't help that the fic is near 60k :P
