in a world that's medieval

Here, have some recs! :D I'm in the process of reading several hd_holidays fics at once (current mission is to finish Savage), so if there's not a fic here, it's just because I'm behind. This is more a reflection of what I've had time to read and liked. ♥

Also, remember to check out the postings at snarry_holidays and comment, if you can!

Sorry if you saw this earlier - I posted on LJ first and now crossposting to IJ and DW.

There's a an enjoyable short piece over at snarry_holidays, posted tonight. It's a crossover, but don't let that scare you away. ;-) Bouncd and Chained (To You) (PG) has great writing, it's cute and Snape is wonderfully snarky.

For those of you that don't know, I'm a co-mod of snarry_holidays, an exclusive Snape/Harry holiday fest. We're currently looking for beta volunteers and pinch-hitters (artists and writers). Please consider helping out, especially to beta - you can control how much work you want to take and when. ;-)

To sign up for betaing: go here.

To sign up for pinch-hitting: go here.

Thanks, folks! If you have any questions, you can email me privately at bewarethesmirk [at] gmail [dot] com.

hp_sas just unveiled the masterlist for the fest. :) I wrote Scorpius Malfoy, Slut Schemer Extraordinaire for snarkyscorp. And my delightful fic, The Little Boy Complex (Harry/Scorpius, NC-17), was written by drippingcherry.

Reposting this now!

Harry Potter, Harry/Draco, PG, 100 words.

+ Recs: Kinky, With a Bit of Discipline by snegurochka_lee (Snape/Black, NC-17, a bit of bondage)

I'm not a huge fan of Snape/Black, but I gave this a shot - and you should, too. The dynamic makes for brutally hot sex - and what I really enjoyed here was the narration and point-of-view techniques. The writing is utterly refreshing from anything I've read lately.

Cigarettes Will Kill You by femmequixotic (Harry/Draco, mentions of Harry/Ginny, NC-17, infidelity)

Visceral. Femme does Draco's POV so, so well.

+ Fests: hp_cross_fest is open now! If you're into HP cross-gen, you should consider writing! It's not an exchange this time around - it's a prompt-based fest. If you want to claim a prompt, go here. If you want to take a look at the prompts to see if any interest you, here you are: slash, femmeslash, het and moresomes.

The only fest/exchange I've participated in lately is remixthedrabble. I wrote two drabbles and got two in return.

I wrote:
- Of the Old Ones (The Grudging Allies Remix) (Merlin, The Slash Great Dragon, G) for xsmoonshine
- Within These Walls of Hell, Déjà-vu (The Sins Revisited Remix) (Lucius Malfoy, G) for benebu

I received:
- xsmoonshine wrote Sweets for the sweet (The Ophelia Remix) (Gwen/Morgana, PG), which is a gorgeous remix of my ficlet, flowers and other small tokens (Gwen/Morgana, PG)
- restlessme wrote Crumbled (Harry/Draco, PG-13, warning: character death) - a chilling remix of my ficlet, Waiting by a Window (H/D, PG)

To end my two month writing break, I took drabble requests from my flist, intending to write 100-to-200 words each. I should have known this was a doomed mission. Those drabbles took on epic-like proportions and are now ficlets of varying lengths. I am posting the first five here! The rest are on the way shortly.

In keeping with my announcement several days ago, all my fic is now public. :) All these have been beta-ed, but remaining mistakes are my own. Please feel free to offer concrit, feedback, whatever. ♥

1. For everysecondtues: Gwen/Morgana - flowers and other small tokens.
Merlin. Gwen/Morgana. PG. 514 words. Beta-ed by heather11483.
( The metal was cold in her clenched fist, and it was both a burden and a relief to press it into Morgana’s hand. )

2. For gestaltrose: Bradley/Colin - one of them RPing as their character (just acting or going all out with costume and props)
Merlin. Colin/Bradley RPS. PG. 346 words. Beta-ed by heather11483.
( I see you wielding a sword almost everyday. I think the novelty’s worn off. )

3. nuclearsugars: Harry/Draco - blue cups, picnic
HP. Harry/Draco. PG. 332 words. Beta-ed by rebekahfair and heather11483.
( To vodka, for it allows me to take advantage of your lightweight arse. )

4. For secretsolitaire: Charlie/Teddy - rimming
HP. Charlie/Teddy. Very NC-17. Rimming. 699 words. rebekahfair and heather11483.
( I want you to go down on me... )

5. For accioscar: Colin/Bradley - Colin's hoodie! (top!Colin, plz) ;D
Merlin. Colin/Bradley RPS. NC-17. Beta-ed by coffeejunkii. 942 words. (Oops.)
( When Bradley opened his eyes, Colin grinned at him from above, looking rather mad with his hood pulled up and looming over Bradley like a Colin-shaped demon. )
