Rectober, week 2 part 2

[birdsofshore]

Ugh, I got behind already! This should have come last week, but I got all distracted with Tom Felton and that thing about the Vanishing Cabinets, and who knows what. I'll make THREE POSTS this week instead. Man oh man, I am a slavedriver :D

THREE CRAZY NON-HARRY/DRACO PAIRINGS for you today!

Title:What Will Survive of Us is Love
Author/Artist: indyonblue
Pairing(s) Arthur/Molly
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1276
Warnings: None
Summary: Amongst the noise and laughter of their family, Molly and Arthur enjoy their evening.

Why I loved it: This is a little gem from hp_silencio. It's just full of gentle warmth and happiness, without being mushy. A couple of commenters have said this would have made a perfect epilogue to the series, and I have to agree (especially as Harry is where he belongs, with Draco, heh heh). It's such a sweet fic and I think it deserves more love.

Title: Black Tie Affair
Author/Artist: torino10154
Pairing(s): Draco / James Sirius
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~635
Warnings: Fingering, rimming, handjob
Summary: When Draco wears his black tie, James can't help himself.

Why I loved it: NNNNNNNNNGH. This was such a delicious little scene of powerplay. James is all eager and desperate, and Draco is perfectly in control.

I am sorry about this next one but who_la_hoop was just insatiable. Since she heard I had fic for this pairing she has been pestering me nonstop for the details ;-)))

Title:If This Is Love
Author/Artist: sunsetmog
Pairing(s): BRACE YOURSELVES. HARRY STYLES AND NICK GRIMSHAW, OH YES
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 85 k
Warnings: see pairing
Summary: He's not fucking thirty yet, but he is way too old for Harry fucking Styles.
Or: Nick Grimshaw has done some stupid, ridiculous, mad things in his life, but falling for Harry Styles might be the stupidest thing yet.

Why I loved it: I can't even remember what possessed me to start reading this. I didn't even know who Nick Grimshaw WAS, fgs; I had to Google him. Anyway for some reason I started reading a novel length Harry Styles / Nick Grimshaw fanfic and I got COMPLETELY OBSESSED with it. You know when you are just thinking about a story all the time and wondering what will happen to the characters? Honestly. It took me about 5 days to finish it and I kept feeling like I was on drugs. But this is, disregarding who the characters are, at heart, a really engaging M/M love story. The UST and pining are wonderful. Nick's voice is charming and real-feeling, and there's romance and pathos and sweetness and smut and just loads of little details that make it work.

I'll be honest, once they stopped fooling around and properly got together, I lost interest. I probably needed to be invested in the actual real-life pairing to care about them once the UST turned to RST, and I wasn't, not really. But the build-up was fabulous, and who_la_hoop was going to use the knowledge that I read this to blackmail me FOREVER if I didn't come clean and out myself, so, here you are :DD

I know full well there are more than a couple of people on my flist who have admitted to "taking an interest" in Harry Styles, so, here you are, ladies. You're welcome. :D

Comments

[torino10154]

Aw, you're sweet. Thank you!

Also, 85K of Harry Styles fic? Wow. I probably shouldn't point my 13 year old to it...though God knows she's probably read worse. :P

[birdsofshore]

I wouldn't point your daughter to it... I would save it for yourself ;-)

[torino10154]

I cannot be in the same fandom as she is. My brain would explode. :P Now if you come across any PWPs with them paired with each other....

[birdsofshore]

I'll keep a look out never read another Nick/Harry fic as long as I live.

[who_la_hoop]

Nic/Harry, you say? :DDD

[birdsofshore]

LOLOL

I just wish I had a crystal ball so I could see which one of us is going to crack first and write that.

[omi-ohmy.livejournal.com]

OMG you read a 1D fic and didn't tell me! I, er, may have read a few in my time. *shuffles feet* *glares at twitter timeline*

I loved What Will Survive of Us is Love - Indyonblue writes with such warmth for her characters.

I will check out the Draco / James Sirius. Thank you for the recs!

[birdsofshore]

I was trying to find a way to bring it up :DD I didn't tell anyone for about a week because I felt sick and dirty.

You are welcome; I think you will LOVE this Draco in torino's fic.

[omi-ohmy.livejournal.com]

Haha, well I probably haven't mentioned any of the 1D fic I've ended up reading either. I just... I see a link on twitter, I click on it. It's like a compulsion. Anyway, I've not read a bad fic yet, so I'll keep clicking away.

Ooh, I am looking forward to reading torino's fic even more now!

[birdsofshore]

I see a link on twitter, I click on it.

Yes! (although, not twitter for me). I have read a LOT of bad fic that way, though. You must be lucky.

I'm trying to think what is the weirdest fandom / pairing / kink that I have stumbled on doing that. Probably this one, tbh :DD

[who_la_hoop]

I love how you try and blame me for your depravity :DDD

Though, mind you, I did tell you that semi-official rumour had it that Harry and Nick were dating so maybe you googled it and ended up with fic, arf.

[birdsofshore]

I can't remember where I found it! When I was looking for the link just now I was panicking, because I'd even deleted it off my phone in a fit of shame, and none of the likely places I might have found it were helping. I thought it was lost forever and I was going to be wandering pathetically on 1D fanfic comms saying "does anyone know a fic where Nick Grimshaw takes soup and dvds to Harry Styles' mum when she's ill?"

I have not googled extensively looking for gossip sites to back up the rumours they have been shagging for a year. Nope.

[who_la_hoop]

lmao! Well, my source is my work mate's music journalist friend who was adamant it was true :D Apparently the whole dating Caroline Flack thing was a cover for their true gay passion, arf.

I am tickled by the notion of you hanging out in 1D fic find comms :DD Do they even exist? You'd probably have to plaintively post on Tumblr where the cool kids hang out.

[birdsofshore]

I only gawp look at Tom Hiddleston things on Tumblr. I don't understand how to talk to people on there, I don't think they give anyone over 30 the instruction manual.

[birdsofshore]

Not sorry at all So sorry! You'll love me for it, I promise :DDD

[birdsofshore]

ahahahahahahahahahaha

wasn't it great?

who_la_hoop said exactly the same

Hell is going to be full of some fabulous people, that's all I'm saying.

[birdsofshore]

*shrugs* I've done a lot of things in my life I am ashamed of, but thinking about 18 year olds having sex seems to me to be one of the more harmless ones, really :DD

[birdsofshore]

LOL, he's only 8 years older than mine. And I first had my eye on him when he was 16.

He's NOT my son, though, nor yours. And we aren't going to do anything to him in RL. Nick Grimshaw's too busy doing it all :DD

[birdsofshore]

Hmm, well, now you put it that way, that is really really perverted and wrong and you are definitely going to hell :DDDD

Kidding. Enjoy your Nick Grimshaw moment.

[indyonblue.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the rec! And you've reminded me I need to do my next lot for Rectober.

[birdsofshore]

You're welcome! I thought your fic was super.

Rectober is slipping by quite fast, isn't it? I might do another lot of recs tonight just to keep up with myself.
