I think DTH may actually kill me this year

IT'S JUST THAT GOOD. I always say I don't care who takes it up the arse. But OMG I care SO MUCH about a Toppy, Dommy Draco. And the dracotops_harry fest always delivers.

The art and fic from the first day have just about slayed me. SERIOUSLY. Have you SEEN them? I think the rest of the fest will finish me off. There's fic and art coming from some of my favourite people. And two of my prompts got claimed and whoever is writing them, I love you already.

That first fic just has me wanting to follow the writer around forever with a soppy look on my face. I NEED AN INTERVENTION HERE.

Meanwhile, have some recs:

Newts by astolat at DTH. You should really really read it. It's a back to Hogwarts fic with Harry as a NEWTs student and Draco as the potions professor who does NOT want him to pass... until Harry bends over uses more unorthodox methods. The dynamic between them is so hot I thought I was going to have to breathe into a paper bag.

And Good Boy by apriicat at DTH. This art is NFSW. And so beautiful. It's explicit, but it's really the dynamic again that makes it so hot, the intimacy of it all, the dialogue and the body language and the breathless intensity between them.

And two more recs, not from DTH:

Not Just When You Want to Be by gracerene. This is part 1 of a series, and is epilogue compliant for H/D, so please take that as a warning that there is no happy ending... yet. I don't usually read angst, but I really enjoyed this. It was so satisfyingly heart achey, with plenty of smut, and completely (infuriatingly!) in character for both of them.

House Proud by astolat. This is a smasher. Funny, thrilling, and wildly inventive. Everything I read by this author is intimidatingly good.

I feel like I've been quiet lately; I've not been in the best state of mind and have been feeling a bit low in mood and confidence at times, but I'm trying to be around more. I'd love to hear if you've enjoyed any of these, or what you've been reading/writing, or what you're excited about, or ANYTHING.

AAAHHHHHH I love that you thought of me when you saw that art. I didn't begin to do it justice with my comment - I can't describe how I feel about the 3rd panel. The first fic is really the same for me; I'm not coherent about it. That dirty talking, and Draco being so... SO DRACO. I'm useless, just thinking about it. My god.

I'm sorry you've felt weird about fandom. Perhaps we should get together and whine. ;) Hoorah for DTH and DD to lift our spirits! And I can't wait to read the sequel to Not Just.
