You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed

I have such a glorious, gorgeous treat for you! If you haven't read this already, don't resist - give yourself half an hour of pure pleasure while you enjoy this lovely fic.

Title: What the Werbelande Wind Blew In
Author: khalulu
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Word Count: 4175
Rating: R
Warning(s): none
Summary: A snowstorm blows a pale and pointy person into Harry’s coffee shop, and brings poetry (mostly medieval) into his life. And then there’s the flying cock monster, the penis tree, and the warrior rabbits.

This was just 4175 words of joy. I read it in bed and nearly woke up small people snoozing next to me because of laughing. Proper, shoulder-shaking laughing. And the romance! My heart!  I never before knew how much I needed a coffee shop fic where Draco is a mediaeval poetry student and he and Harry banter and snark divinely. And then Harry starts researching, in order to impress Draco, but of course he's completely and utterly obvious about it, and Draco is deliciously smug, and then Harry says... But you'll have to read it to find out exactly what made me hoot with laughter, past midnight, when I really should have been sleeping.

khalulu is such a wonderfully skilled writer, and this story is full of warmth and poetry and romance and intelligence and humour and delicious sauciness. That's not even mentioning the end notes about the Flying Cock Monster. I feel like I ate this fic up with a spoon and licked my lips at the end. The whole thing is so rich, and it's only 4000 words! I only wish there was another 50k of Harry and Draco flirting in coffee shops and then succumbing to the inevitable, overwhelming sexual tention between the two of them that jumps off the screen.

Excerpt: I want to quote the whole darn thing, I mean, REALLY, the whole darn thing, but I also don't want to spoil it for you. So here's just a teeny piece of its loveliness.

Please let me know if you try this one! I'd love for it to get all the love it deserves.

Ahhh, I sort of dropped the ball with reccing. I've been all wrapped up in my hd_erised fic (finally fell in love with it *beam*) and didn't feel like reading much at all. A lot of what I read was mostly from other people's Rectober posts, though, so thank you very much indeed to all who provided me with great suggestions of what to read.

Oh, and there are still TWO WHOLE DAYS OF RECTOBER LEFT. So, if you signed up but never managed a post yet, there's still time! if you were aiming for 4 posts but only managed 3 *shifty eyes*, there's still time! If you've only just heard of Rectober, why not jump on board for the last 2 days?

BASICALLY JUST LET THE RECS POUR FORTH.  :DDD

Is it still the first week of Rectober? Yes? *phew*

I pledged to do one rec post a week, so here it it is. My first recs are all from hd_fan_fair.  \o/ This is one of my very favourite fests and I always love the crazy, original, hot, crackish and awesome things that come out of it, and the possibilities of all the different professions.

I'm a bit behind with my reading, but I've been so excited to see the wonderful flurry of recs across my flist this week! Rectober is in full force and it's not too late to jump in and join us. Participants list here if you fancy browsing for recs,using the Rectober tag, and all the info is here if you'd like to sign up and start reccing.  ♥

Help! I am running out of month! Here in the nick of time is my sixth rec post for Rectober, with 2 more to come next week.

OK this time I am cheating a bit. Again. It's not all fic. But it could be very inspiring.( NSFW photo under the cut )

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!
