April Multi-Fandom Recs  
I read a good amount of fic in April, including a bit more HP and Drarry fic than in previous months. Still not completely over my H/D burnout (which I think is also heavily influenced by the fact that I am still writing my HDBB monster!fic and it's hard for me to read Drarry while I'm trying to write so much of it) but I feel like maybe I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! For now, here's a hodge-podge of fics I read and loved this month!

Title: Know Your Weakness
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] moonix
Pairing(s): Andrew/Neil
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 1,980
Content/Notes: references to past rape/non-con & torture, established relationship, bottom!neil
Summary: “Neck fetish,” Andrew growls, yanking hard at Neil's hair until the skin at the back of his head prickles hotly.
“Mm,” Neil hums. “Yours or mine?”
Gorgeously written and seriously hot!

Title: The Prize
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] magpie_fngrl
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~2,370
Content/Warnings: AU: Non-Magical, AU: Historical, AU: Pirates, pirate!harry, bottom!harry
Summary: Captain Potter has kidnapped the son of Lord Malfoy for ransom. Things don't go as planned.
Super fun and sexy AU. The author manages to convey so much in so few words, though I easily could have read so much more in this 'verse.

Title: Take What You Need (Leave Me the Rest)
Author: [personal profile] lq_traintracks
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~4,000
Warnings/Content: mild blood play, first person POV, vampire!Draco, orgasm delay, light bondage, bottom!harry, implied switching
Summary: "Go home, Potter. You wouldn't." Before I know it, his hand has slipped inside my jacket. It finds my waist, and he steps in close. His scent overwhelms me, tanned skin salt-stung and right there. I feel his breath on my jaw when he murmurs, "Would you?"
This fic is UNF and a half. Everything I love about vampire Draco and the writing here was sensual and sexy as hell.

Title: Most Arrogant and Loving of Men
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] lomonaaeren
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, past Harry/OFCs, background Ron/Hermione
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~30,197
Content/Warnings: first time, bottom!harry, auror!harry, [livejournal.com profile] dracotops_harr 2018
Summary: Harry knows very well that he’s showing the mask of the Savior to everyone around him—his friends, his lovers, his enemies—but he doesn’t know how to stop. The part of him that wants things to be different is selfish and greedy. He doesn’t see any way to express it and not have his life explode…until Draco Malfoy, of all people, realizes it’s there.
Oh, this was gorgeously satisfying! I loved reading about Draco spoiling Harry and watching Harry slowly learn that he deserved to be pampered!

Title: Bleed the Same
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] ohfreckle
Pairing(s): Alec/Magnus
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,561
Content/Notes: established relationship, bottom!alec, rough sex, rimming, felching, spanking, table!sex
Summary: That power is pouring off of Magnus in waves, his shoulders heaving with every labored breath, eyes still flashing golden. His face a mask of fury. Magnus is always so much more than a man, but it’s times like this when Alec can see the demon lurking in his depths, but he isn’t afraid. No, Magnus is resplendent in his wrath, commanding and sublime, and Alec suddenly can’t breathe for how much he wants.
Magnus needs to let off a little steam after that clusterfuck of a party at Lorenzo's, and Alec is more than happy to help.
Seriously hot fic! That is all.

Title: Firsts
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] Insomiak
Pairing(s): Alec/Magnus
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 4,939
Content/Notes: established relationship
Summary: Everything with Magnus is so new, there’s just first after first, so many things Alec never thought he would think or feel.
(Or: Alec really wants to give his first blowjob)
Super sexy fic with Alec really wanting to blow Magnus. Loved Alec's headspace in this one.

I'm so glad you liked that one, Grace! I appreciate the rec here. :D I'm totally with you on that almost inability to read while you're writing that same pairing, especially when you're into something long and involved like we are with the Bang. I tend to turn to books instead of fanfic while I'm writing. But that means I'm missing out on a lot of great fic, I realize. It is what it is.

You're welcome!

And yes! I hardly ever write long!fic, and never something quite this long, so I never actually realised it before now. When I had to proof all the H/D for Erised it totally killed my muse for the fic because I had all these competing headcanons and characterizations floating around in my head. Annoying when I know there's good fic being written, but it's good that I've figured it out at least!

Thanks for the rec! The Pirate drarry are one of my fave AUs :))

Good luck with the HPBB! I find that when writing Drarry, it actually helps me to read a little H/D in the midst of the writing slodge to remember why I like them in the first place. But I tend to choose only fic I've already read.

I was burned out from reading most of the erised fics too at a fairly short time. It was why I felt the need for AUs, possibly.

Hope the monster fic is going well! I'm excited for the result :)

Of course!

And thank you! I wonder if my feelings on reading Drarry while writing such a long fic might be different if it weren't for the truly massive amounts of Drarry fic I had to read for Erised. I think that + writing my monster!fic was probably not the best combo for avoiding Drarry overload. :/
