Author’s Notes: For the incomparable [livejournal.com profile] shiftylinguini on your birthday. Oh my word, isn’t it a joy to have you around the place? You bring amazing fandom enthusiasm, pretty boys with stunning noses, and monster veiny cocks. I thought *my* comments were excitable until I saw yours. Forever glad that you delurked. ♥

I’m sorry this is a puny thing, but I hope you enjoy. There are 8 drabbles in this set but I shall be posting in installments, totally not because I am still fiddling with the later ones. Have a wonderful day. I've been counting on my fingers for a while and I'm pretty sure it's your birthday now, even if you're asleep :D

Many thanks to lovely [livejournal.com profile] lumosed_quill for the speedy help!

An amazing person has made some fanart for Euphoria! I'm over the moon!

You can find the art here at their tumblr.  It's so darned pretty and asksdfghjklfghjklghjklsdfhgjklfghjkl! (Warnings: boys kissing, cross-gen, Albus Severus / Scorpius, Albus Severus / Draco). I love the different dynamic in the two scenes, and the characterisations of the three of them.

 *bounces madly*

Hey, [livejournal.com profile] capitu, does this count as a rec? :D
birdsofshore: (curlew)
I got in bother for flocking my last rec post. This one is going to get me my moment of fame in the [livejournal.com profile] daily_snitch! Oh yes!Recs from DTH... )
birdsofshore: (curlew)
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 [livejournal.com profile] dracotops_harry fest always delivers.

asdfghjkl;dfghjklghjklghjklghjksdfghjklkl;khgdssdfghjkhdfghjlkkkkl

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:

2 from DTH and 2 general H/D )

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.

I posted a fic at [livejournal.com profile] hp_kinkfest.

Title: Hand in Glove
Author: [livejournal.com profile] birdsofshore
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] shiftylinguini
Kink Showcased: Glove kink
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~9k
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Summary: His fingers are cool and steady against my skin and I imagine I can smell the scent of leather on them already, expensive, addictive... but it's not enough. He traces the line of my jaw, tilts my chin up so that I'm looking into his eyes. “Should I put the gloves on?” He sounds playful, as if this is just a game between us. A bit of fun.

“Yes.” My voice is always hoarser than I expect. I never remember quite how deep the knife-twist of desire bites into me.

Warnings: Glove kink. Hand kink. Sex in risky places. Antagonism. Some hints of D/s dynamics.
A/N: Massive thanks to the patient and brilliant dicta_contrion for beta services.

I really enjoyed getting stuck into this kink. I could sort of see the appeal of gloves, although it wasn't something that I'd ever thought about an awful lot... however NOW... O__O I'm all about gloves. I really enjoy when I can think myself into the headspace of someone with a fetish and try to get what it is all about.

When I was several thousand words into writing this fic I posted on LJ saying I was having some problems with Harry 1st person. I hoped people would have some tips for me. Ha! Ha! Instead, the consensus was, DON'T DO IT.

The problem was that I was already mightily invested in the story, and when I tried to rephrase into 3rd person I realised that it would need a total rewrite if I was going to change POV. So despite feeling really pigheaded for ignoring the advice, I persevered with 1st person. I know that it wasn't a total success, but I do feel parts of it worked well. I'm not sure if I'd attempt it again or not. I can totally see why people's advice was to steer clear, but I enjoyed trying, anyway. I'm still intrigued by what makes Harry sound like Harry, so I may well have another go one day.

The best thing for me about writing this was that there was one scene that I couldn't get out of my head. It's so simple, and funny really, considering all of the filthy goings on - but it's the part where Malfoy tells Harry to kiss the glove. It had such resonance for me and I could see it really clearly in my mind. So, I plucked up the cheek to ask [livejournal.com profile] shiftylinguini if she fancied having a go at drawing something for the fic. And SHE SAID YES. ♥ My heart! That was amazing enough, but then after she'd read it, she produced something completely asdfghjksdfghjklfghjklasdfghjkl. I'm so so thrilled with it. Even if you don't fancy the story, you could go and leave some love for the art.

However, before linguini's incredible art existed, I did a little bit of internet research *cough* and found what I like to call Mr Glove!Dom. He was kind of inspiring to me while I was writing the fic and I thought it would be nice to share him with you:



*STARES*  ♥

Now my only problem is that I keep dreaming about buying pair of really fucking nice leather gloves. I've made a shortlist of the ones I want, and I can't afford any of them. *sigh* The pitfalls of fanfiction.

Title: Truth Will Out
Author: [livejournal.com profile] birdsofshore
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Word count: ~4300
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Er, none? Sorry about that...
Summary: Sometimes you just need a little bit of a push to say what needs saying.
A/N: A belated Happy Birthday, Happy Valentine's, and WELCOME HOME to our darling [livejournal.com profile] capitu. I started so many things for your birthday, dear! I tried to write filthy, I tried to write funny. I FAILED, and this happened instead, but it is sort of romantic, possibly? And it was written with love ♥

Thank you so much to [livejournal.com profile] writcraft and [livejournal.com profile] lumosed_quill for all of your help!

Truth Will Out )
birdsofshore: (curlew)
First of all, THREE of my prompts at [livejournal.com profile] hp_kinkfest have been claimed (one for fic AND art *flail*), and one at [livejournal.com profile] dracotops_harry, and I'm so bloody excited! I don't know who you are but I love you a lot already. Are you OK, mystery creators? Do you need anything while you're busy with that? I mean, can I get you a glass of water or a back rub or anything? No? OK. I'll just sit here very quietly in the corner. Waiting. WAITING AND FLAILING.

My favourite comments )
birdsofshore: (curlew)
I hesitated about posting this, because it might be annoying to read if you're NOT getting comments, but I decided to go for it anyway. It's not often we hear good news about comments!

I feel like there might have been an upsurge in commenting at AO3. I was lucky and had comments for my erised fic over the last few weeks, and I'm still getting the odd one on that fic which is lovely, but in general, I'm getting one or two comments (on other fics) most days. This is NOT usually the case for me, and it's quite delightful.

Do you think there might be a swing back towards interacting with writers, rather than just leaving Kudos or navigating away? It would be super if there was. Kudos and hits are all very well, but comments - oh, nothing makes my heart go pitter-pat like a real juicy comment. ♥ Thank you so much to all of you who still leave them, whether here or on AO3.

EDITED TO ADD: this is in no way meant to make people feel uncomfortable or pressured about comments. I know some people get stressed about commenting / not commenting. DON'T WORRY! Read fic and be happy.
birdsofshore: (curlew)
OH MY. There are some completely amazing prompts over at [livejournal.com profile] dracotops_harry.  I currently have two piles: ones I think I could pick up and write something quick and smutty for, and ones I want to read the bejesus out of.

Prompts, prompts, prompts )

This was my gift for [livejournal.com profile] anemonen:

Title: I Bet That You Look Good on the Dancefloor
Author: [livejournal.com profile] birdsofshore
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, brief Draco/OMCs
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~28,000
Warnings: Homophobia (internalised, plus verbal and physical abuse). Draco has off-screen sex with other men before he and Harry get together. Harry attempts sex with another man but changes his mind. Plenty of antagonism. Fashions and music are not necessarily contemporary to the time period of the story. I sincerely apologise to anyone who lives in Walthamstow; I hear it's quite a nice place these days.
Content/Enticements: Clubbing, the Muggle world, coming out, first times, virgin!Harry, experienced!Draco, voyeurism, semi-public sex, jealousy, antagonism, pining, UST, flangst
Summary: Harry felt lit up from inside as soon as he entered the bar. There were blokes dancing together, their bodies close to one another, not keeping a wary distance as Harry was always careful to do when he was near another man. God, he wanted this – wanted it so much he could taste it, a metallic tang of heat and desire. He suspected nothing would ever be the same again – especially when he saw who else was in the room.

I'm so so excited I can finally talk about this, and most importantly, shout my head off about the amazing ART which [livejournal.com profile] anemonen drew for it. LOOK AT THIS: Live here in the moment. I can't tell you how chuffed I was that Ane was inspired to create this stunning Draco. The whole picture fits my imaginings of the Tube scene from the story perfectly. And then I had to keep quiet and not say anything about it for WEEEEEKS! I nearly DIED. It's a gorgeous standalone picture of Draco so it won't spoil anything if you haven't read the fic, by the way. Please do leave [livejournal.com profile] anemonen all the love if you go and take a look.

Wafflings about writing, with pictures and videos and stuff )

[livejournal.com profile] hp_kinkfest is claiming this week! And the Prompt List is AMAZING. O__O

The fest has a brief timeline which encourages short and intense works, and you can request your own posting date. It's a really low-stress, low-fuss, all-round excellent fest and you can choose from the list of kinky ideas or write/draw for your own idea - any kink, any pairing.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to see an explosion of KINKY ART for this fest? It doesn't have to be explicit... (I know a lot of people feel shy about posting NC-17 art). Lots of the prompts lend themselves to something slightly suggestive but not full on porny. And I may have left a few prompts there myself, waiting to find a home in someone's divinely kinky brain.

I have added a few tags with things that I have seen prompted at kinkfest, or just that I think might be inspiring, heh.

Thank you so much to whoever claimed one of my things already! CANNOT WAIT. ♥

Please come and play... I have claimed a prompt and I can't wait to get started on something short and steamy \o/

I promised [livejournal.com profile] capitu I would make rec posts before reveals and she's not even here to see this, my second post. *sniffle* But I loved this fest so much, [livejournal.com profile] hd_erised was absolutely mighty this year and I just wish I had more time to waffle on about all the fabulous things I read. This is a whistlestop tour of some more of my favourites. I'm still reading! Everything is amazing!

Four fic recs )
There'll be another post if I can squeeze an extra hour into the day - with art. THE ART! *flail* I don't think I can even pick my favourites. I might have to rec EVERYTHING. O_o
birdsofshore: (curlew)
I've been drowning in all of the glorious things that have been posted over the last month. I've hardly had time to comment properly, let alone rec, but I was determined to get at least one rec post in before [livejournal.com profile] hd_erised reveals. Are you going crazy waiting like me? WHO WROTE MY GIFT FFS? I thought I knew, but I was wrong, and it's driving me up the wall, LOL!

Recs: fics and a podfic )
birdsofshore: (flapping)
WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I have no time to compose anything coherent, but I NEED to splurge feels in your general direction.

SPOILERS and flailing )
birdsofshore: (curlew)
I just wanted to tell you that I really love you.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

*cackle*
birdsofshore: (curlew)
Dear [livejournal.com profile] gracerene,

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, dear! You're a fandom marvel and I don't know how you find the time to do all that you do. You mod all the things (and really, the fests we need so badly. Cross gen? Next gen? YES PLEASE). You write such delicious smutty fics - I love your 'reasons' series, and your fest fics are a real treat, too. Your recs are incredible! And you read and participate in so many different fandoms, too. And your lovely, appreciative, thoughtful comments are such a delight. I'm so glad that we're kink sisters. I love to squee with you over git!Draco and daydream together about poor Albus getting thoroughly debauched.  Thank you for everything that you share with us here in fandom. ♥

I'm so sorry I come empty-handed this year. I do have something I want to give you, but I know you and the other [livejournal.com profile] hd_erised mods will kick my feathery arse if I don't get cracking with my assignment, so that will have to wait a little bit longer! Meanwhile, please enjoy these virtual offerings. I hope your day brings cake, laughter, smut, fun, books, treats, and many many marvellous erised submissions ;)
