Drive-by rec posting!

Title: And Wednesday Too
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Warnings/Content: None
Word Count: 5,800
Summary:Draco never expected anything better than his two dead end jobs and a cramped flat, but when Harry Potter waltzes into his life, can anyone blame him for wanting a little more? (A remix of firethesound's Tuesday Nights)

I can't even say how excited I am about this, I'm so happy and flaily and just thrilled. I have no idea who might have written this, but whoever it was did a fantastic job. It's the events of Tuesday Nights from Draco's POV and it fits so well with what I'd written, filling in the blank spaces, and exploring what's going on with Draco. The way he's written here is fantastic. And it's so good. It is so good and I am so happy, and so you all should go read it and leave this writer some love. <3

The fic written for me for Tropes -- Potential Gravity -- posted today, and it's so, so good. (Well, so far. I haven't actually finished reading it yet...) When I signed up, I listed a whole bunch of things I like, figuring that if I had a huge list, then whoever got assigned me would be able to find at least something they enjoyed writing about. I assumed they'd pick a few things from it and go from there. But this wonderful brilliant person took that as a challenge and included nearly all of them, so the whole thing basically might as well be called Firethesound's Favorite Things and I just...

But they went one step beyond that, and it's absolutely undone me. There's Mug-Harry. Mug-Harry is in this fic. AND THERE IS WINKING. MUG-HARRY WINKING. SAUCILY. And I am entirely unashamed to admit that I screamed out loud, flailed my arms, and then burst into tears. And that's another thing I said I liked, fics that make me cry, and maybe this wasn't where the author intended me to do it, but I have, so I guess that's a success. I just... I haven't been in a terribly good place recently, mentally or emotionally, and the fact that someone cared this fucking much about putting together a story I'd like that they'd go so far as taking the ridiculous random list of things I like and working out a story that slots it all together, and then do more on top of that, I just have no idea what to do with it. Except cry, apparently. And tell everyone else I know to read this too.

I'm going to go make a cup of tea, calm the fuck down, and finish reading.

EDIT: Finished it, it was awesome. I am flailing.

Title: Last City
Author: anon
Summary: ~~Twenty-four~~ Twenty-three men, six cities, and one unusual sexual requirement.
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): None
Word Count: 27,500

I can't even say how much I loved reading this fic. It's sweet and hot and so so funny. I can't count the number of times I laughed aloud while I read this. The characterizations are wonderful, Harry's voice in this is fantastic and he's so wonderfully in character, and Hermione is pretty much perfect. (You all know how I feel about a well-written Hermione.) There's a little bit of angst in there too, to balance out the humor, and the whole thing just works perfectly.

My prompt for Draco Tops Harry got filled (and so did Harry! lol) and I am so ridiculously excited about it and I think everyone should go read it now now now.

Title: Tread That Fine Line
Author: anon
Summary: Harry could cope with being in love with Draco, it was the needing to get fucked by him that was driving Harry insane.
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): Bad double entendres.
Word Count: ~5300

This fic is fun, and funny, and super hot. I honestly have no idea who wrote this, but I suspect that maybe it's someone who knows me because this is exactly the sort of humor I'm all about. It moves quick and it's just slightly ridiculous (all those innuendos! They're really terrible in the best sort of way and I was giggling aloud to myself as I read!) and it's hot and sweet and silly and just wonderful. I really really liked this and I think all of you should go read it. I absolutely can't wait to find out who wrote this so I can flail at them properly. <3

Yeah, it's Tuesday. I know. But it's still Smutty Monday if I say it is!

Title: Pink is the New Grey
Author:

Rating/Warnings: NC-17 - masturbation, voyeurism, a bit of exhibitionism.
Pairing: Harry/Ron

I'll preface this by saying that I don't read much Harry/Ron, for a whole lot of nitpicky reasons I won't really get into here. If you are also someone who does not read Harry/Ron, I am telling you to read this anyhow. It's so worth it, and the characterization is spot-on. I had a very hard time picking which of Geneva's fics to post about, because her writing is consistently amazing, but I ended up going with this one because it's fairly recent, and also because it posted in the middle of holiday fest madness so there's a chance people ended up missing it because of that. (I, for one, still haven't caught up on all the holiday stuff. I was hit-and-miss with OwlPost and keep meaning to go back to it.)

Anyhow, the rec:

This fic is wonderfully steamy from start to finish, and the thing that really makes it come alive for me are all of the brilliant sensory details woven throughout the narrative, and this fic hits all five senses. The sounds of Ron wanking, the smells of cooking, just everything, all the details. And one of the things I think is most brilliant about it is how some of those details are approached in sort of a roundabout way. Like, when Harry is lying naked in his bed, we're told that the sheets are soft and worn, and then "Lying in bed in just his skin is a luxurious experience." We're not told exactly what the bed sheets feel like against Harry's skin, but that one line is so beautifully evocative that I know exactly how they feel.

The bit of dirty talk where Ron's giving Harry instructions is very well-done, and it also tells so much about Ron's state of mind. He keeps saying Harry's name, like he can't quite believe he's really doing that with Harry and he has to keep reminding himself aloud, and it says so much about his nervousness and faint disbelief that yes this is really happening with Harry, and all without ever directly addressing it. This is "show, don't tell" at its finest.

And layered over it is Harry's voice, his wry and slightly self-deprecating sense of humor, and just a touch of awkwardness to bring the whole thing back down to earth. The way they get together is very teenaged-boy-logic, very foolish-Gryffindor-courage, and very them. In other words, it's perfect.

Hooray! Welcome to my very first Smutty Monday post! This is also my first rec, so bear with me through any awkwardness, please. :D

Title: A Princely Scent
Author:

Wordcount: 5k
Rating/Warnings: NC-17 - mild voyeurism, light bondage, frottage, wanking, and a blow job

Whenever I think of Smut Done Right, this fic is always at the top of my list because in just 5,000 words I went from thinking "Armpits? Who the fuck cares about armpits?" to "Yes please, all the armpit sex!!"

( More spoilery rambling )
