I've been doing my best to do what I can to sort of keep up with HP fests and continue reading and supporting in fandom. Having less time, less inclination, and being far more particular about my likes than I used to be makes this a challenge, but I've still found work that I've really enjoyed! Sort of a hodge-podge of fests--some stuff from hp_goldenage, hpconsentfest, & dracotops_harry--and pairings, which is all pretty representative of the wide breadth of my reading interests. :D

Everyone...except his old nemesis, his one-time lover, and the elusive war hero who stubbornly refuses to be featured in Draco’s interview series; Harry Potter.

He's not confident in what he's doing, but he's done his research, and surely this delectable young thing, kneeling in wait for him, can help?
Really engaging fic with newly-divorced Draco wanting to experiment with his dominant side by engaging in a bit of BDSM. I really loved his voice here, and the smut and chemistry between him and Albus (even though Albus spent nearly the entire fic polyjuiced as somebody else) was seriously smoking!

Really lovely, almost gentle fic, with Charlie and Harry reconnecting and growing closer (much closer) after several decades of life. There were a lot of cool detail here, and the connection between Harry and Charlie was really sweet.
