Draco Tops Harry monster rec post

[birdsofshore]

I meant to do this as I went along, and now I am reaping the wotsit of my own indolence. There are LOADS of lovely fics over at dracotops_harry, and here are a few of my favourites so far.

Also, I wanted to go on the record and come clean as being someone who used to think topping / bottoming preferences were weird. I thought it was a bit sad, childish or even creepy, if I am completely honest. (Yeah, right, because everything I do around here is so MATURE and NORMAL O_o). I still can't personally relate to ONLY reading one person topping, but I completely get the idea of fests based around one or the other.

If I had to pick a favourite, for me it would definitely be Top!Draco. Although capitu pointed out to me that I write Top!Harry more often in my own fics. How did that happen? I didn't believe her, and had to go and check. She was right.O_o Anyway, this is a roundabout way of saying 'Sorry I used to think it was weird.' I didn't actually SAY anything much about it being weird, but I THOUGHT it quite a lot. :DD I was wrong. Topping / bottoming preferences are perfectly good kinks just like any other, and perfect fests like dracotops_harry grow out of them. So, hoorah.

Title: A Fox's Bargain
Summary: Harry made a bargain with Draco. He knew it was going to come back and bite him on the arse, he just didn’t think about what exactly Draco would ask for. Draco would say that Harry must have known deep down what he was agreeing to, but then Draco is a prick and what would he know?
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): Non-con kiss (at the beginning), dub-con sex, fingering, rimming, orgasm denial, D/s dynamics, unredeemed!draco (he’s an arsehole).
Word Count: 6000

This is just the most heavenly dub-con scenario, with delicious smutty details ladled on like whipped cream and a cherry on top. Arsehole!Draco FTW! My favourite part is the way Harry is completely manipulated and used, but comes out of it (despite grumpy attempts not to enjoy it at all) having had a whale of a time.

Title: let me see you stripped (down to the bone)
Summary:

"So," Malfoy said. "Are you in? Or are you out?" He turned and looked at Harry squarely.

Harry remembered the slow way Malfoy had slid his hand down his own stomach, into his pants – the outline of his long fingers gripping and stroking his own cock. The way his head had fallen back, exposing his pale throat. How he had owned them all.

He took a deep breath. "I'm in," he said.

Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Draco/Harry, (Hermione/Ron, Millicent/Luna)
Warning(s): stripping, exhibitionism, some alcohol consumption, and yeah I gave in and did my first leather trousers!Draco
Word Count: ~24,000

I don't even know how Harry and Draco as strippers works, but it SO DOES. Filthy, filthy onstage dancing and smut. It's really hot and heavy and intense and insane and marvellous.

Title: In the Interest of Interhouse Cooperation
Summary: Organizing a Duelling Club was supposed to be a fun extracurricular activity for Harry’s 8th year. But add in Draco Malfoy and a malfunctioning Room of Requirement, and things can’t help but get complicated.
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): A slight bit of dominance during sex, and maybe a teensy bit of dub-con.
Word Count: 12k

THIS FIC! It was written for my prompt, and it's just such a joyous romp through lots of my favourite tropes and kinks, and buckets of lovely lovely UST. I might go and read it again right now :DD

Title: Save My Wonders
Summary: Immediately chocolate assaulted Draco's senses. Warm melted chocolate mixed with his mother's roses and... something else. Something new. Freshly scrubbed skin and maybe a faint sheen of sweat. It was so familiar...
And it only intensified when Potter came up behind him...
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): chubby!Draco, angst relating to body issues (no fat shaming)
Word Count: ~21K

This was charmingly romantic, warm and sweet , funny, and hot, too. Draco and his insecurity, and Harry with his cheerful smittenness, are both delightful. A real heart-warmer.

Title: Touched
Summary: On the insistence of his parents, Draco begins to see a therapist to discuss his difficulties with physical intimacy. When he changes his appointment time, Draco discovers he’s not the only one seeking assistance as a result of events which occurred during the war and he finds comfort in the most unexpected of places.
Rating: R
Warning(s): Post traumatic stress disorder, erectile dysfunction, mental health related matters.
Word Count: ~7,300

This was another nice change of gear, gentle, wistful and tender. It wasn't too angsty, but I liked the way the characters were allowed to be flawed, and their relationship didn't end up unrealistically perfect.

Title: Let’s Go Outside
Summary: Harry’s done with the sofa, the hall and the kitchen table, baby.
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): EWE. Lots and lots of sex, most of it public, not all of it involving Harry/Draco, a little, er, decorative arm wrapping for fun (it might be a little bit bondage-y, but nice, you know, with silky fabric and stuff), etc. Very little plot.
Word Count: 24,339

The best way I can describe this is 24,000 words of GUH. With a little nggggggh and a generous helping of asdfghjklksdgfhjkll. OK, MA, why don't you just take ALL my favourite kinks, roll them together in a big ball of crazy hotness, and tie them up with a pretty ribbon? Yes, that'll do nicely. I read this one late at night under the covers with my jaw hanging open, thinking, just another 5 minutes, then I'll stop.



What have your favourites been? Did you like these? I'd love to chat about the fest.

Capitu always knows.

Boy, that sound so weird. LOL

I never thought it was odd/sad/childish, well, I never had any negative feelings towards people who have a very strong preference about whether who tops. That's why I made the bottom!Harry and bottom!Draco tags at my community recs.

I think everybody is entitled to have their preference. Personally I never pick a favourite fic based on who tops.

Wait, that comes out all wrong because you don't "pick" a favourite story, they sort of explode into your life and leaving you filled with fannish joy. :D

But what I mean is, who tops is never something that makes me love more or less a story.

[capitu]

Also, hey, the RECS: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ All of them. :D

[birdsofshore]

:DDDD I'd been saving them up!

[birdsofshore]

Capitu always knows, but she doesn't know who wrote that ruddy Let's Go Outside, does she? ;-)))

You never thought it was sad to have topping preferences, because you are a nicer and wiser person than me :D

you don't "pick" a favourite story, they sort of explode into your life and leaving you filled with fannish joy

YES! This. and then, you know what happens after that...

[capitu]

but she doesn't know who wrote that ruddy Let's Go Outside, does she? ;-)))

That was low, Birds. :P My solid guess would solid if my guess author was around though! I'm going with it. :D


Yes, exactly like that!

[birdsofshore]

That poor woman trying to look as if she's enjoying getting smothered there, represents the H/D fandom. You and me are managing to be ALL of those slobbery puppies at once. :DD

If your guess is right, Imma going to get you a prize.

[capitu]

LOL That's us, Birds! :D:D:D tail waggling included, of course.

\o/\o/\o/

Now I have one more reason for wanting to be right!

[birdsofshore]

I haven't said what the prize IS, yet. It might be your very own copy of Taken by the T-Rex :DDD

[capitu]

LOL The first I thought after I posted that comment was: OMG, she's going do Dinoporn!!! :D
