Adding my voice to those who loved this fic! I wasn't really following [livejournal.com profile] hd_familyfest - I thought it was going to be all about raising children and such things that I am not especially interested in outside of RL. However this is a fabulous getting-back-together!fic, where Harry and Draco have been forced to marry, but find their problems are by no means over when the accidental bond wears off and they are able to divorce.

It's told mostly via deft use of flashbacks, with a lovely supporting cast and some wonderful humour in amongst the pining and flangsty goodness. The smut, when it comes, is fierce and delicious, and there are some great side pairings which develop through the story, too. I really recommend it.

Three Boxes and a Scrapbook

***
From the sublime to the ridiculous:


-- Have you seen yaoihands on tumblr?  I don't like those blogs that basically rip fanart to pieces and so on, but this is laughing at the tropes of commercial yaoi, and  OMG, LOLOL. I had never noticed how the seme's hands are often as big as the uke's head, amongst other weird fetishy anatomy distortions. I find the hands the funniest, but there is all sorts on this tumblr, too: wtfyaoianatomy. These people are obviously competent artists, so I don't really know what is going on...?



-- DINOSAUR EROTICA EXISTS AND IT'S JUST AS AMAZING AS YOU'D IMAGINE

I think this must be one of the best examples of Rule 34 I've ever seen.

Taken By the T-Rex might be my favourite title ever.

Just wondering how to incorporate dinosaur sexing into my Harrybang or indeed, how to start writing the bloody thing, but we won't speak of that right now.

Mostly I just want art of it. I'm pestering my beta, who has a heck of a lot more artistic talent than I do, to draw it out if I write it. ::hopeful::

All caps, got it. I've made a word document for it, that means I'm committed.
