hd_erised is back, baby! This is actually going to be my last year modding, which is bittersweet. But I've been drifting away from fandom in general, and HP in particular, for a long time now, and I feel ready to say goodbye. If any of y'all are Drarry-inclined, I'd love to see you join! <3

It's been ages since I've done a rec round-up and TBH, I'm not even sure if I've posted some of these before, but ehh, double reccing is hardly a bad thing!

Pinch Hitter Sign-Up Post!

I keep forgetting to post my rec round-ups at the end of the month, so here's a fic rec dump from the past several months!

( Harry Potter: Drarry )

( Harry Potter: Jeddy )

( Star Trek: Spirk )

( Supernatural: Wincest )

Reveals went up this morning over at hd_erised, which means I can claim this smutty little pinch hit I took on! I've not published much HP/Drarry fic in the past year, but it was fun to revisit these two!

No Winning Without Losing by gracerene

If Draco had to lose to another Seeker, at least it was to somebody talented, somebody who really gave him a run for his money.

He just wished that somebody wasn't Harry Potter.

Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~6,800
Content/Warnings: EWE, Post-Second Wizarding War with Voldemort, Quidditch Player Harry & Draco, fame and infamy, clubs, drinking, sexually confident Harry, bets & wagers, rivals to lovers, sexual tension, banter, rimming, hand jobs, dirty talk, blow jobs, post-sex fingering, bottom Harry, implied switching
Author’s Notes: This was written as a hd_erised​ pinch hit for the wonderful greenmegsnoham whose sign-up was such a delight and chock-full of so many goodies it was hard to decide what direction to take their gift in! I went the smutty route, because of course I did, and I had a lot of fun finally finishing a Drarry fic after months of working on fics with them that've yet to see the light of day!

Love and eternal gratitude to firethesound & writcraft for helping to make this presentable.

Reveals posted on Friday over at hd_erised and I thought I'd post a couple of my most favorite fics in the fest in case anybody is looking for a place to start! I made myself stick to just 10 recs, but it was hard to choose as there were SO many amazing fics and works of art for the fest this year! Please do check out the masterlist for more goodies, and don't forget to leave the authors and artists some love if you enjoy their work! <3

Reveals have posted over at hd_erised, which means I get to claim this little ficlet I wrote as a gift for one of our amazing pinch hitters!

Hung (Up on You) by gracerene

Harry doesn't see any need going all the way to St Mungo's just to heal up a scratch, but if Malfoy wants to take him home and heal Harry himself, he won't say no to that.

Warnings/Content Notes: PWP, Auror Harry Potter, Curse-Breaker Draco, Blood & Injury, hurt/comfort, UST, Hung Harry Potter, Magically Healing Cock, Anal Sex, Riding, Dirty Talk
Author’s Notes: Happy H/D Erised, apriicat!! I picked a couple of things from
your sign-up and ran with them, and I hope you enjoy this quick and
smutty ficlet! ♥ Eternal gratitude to my marvellous betas—firethesound, shiftylinguini, & malenkayacherepakha—and to my co-mods for being awesome!

Reveals just went up over at hd_erised so I figured I'd do a round-up of some of my favorite fics! There were a ton of wonderful submissions this year, so I highly recommend y'all check out the masterlists, as your favorites might be different from mine! <3

Now that reveals have posted over at hd-erised, I thought I'd take a quick moment and rec some of my favorites from the fest! There were a ton of really great submissions this year, so I'd HIGHLY recommend checking out the full masterlist, as the below fcs are just a small sampling of the fics that were more to my own personal & subjective tastes. We were also SUPER spoiled for art this year, and I could seriously rec every single piece, so I very much suggest heading over at gazing at all the lovely, especially if you're shorter on time and don't have a moment to read. And, of course, please do leave some love for the creators if you enjoyed their work! <3

( HD Erised )

Reveals just went up over at hd-erised so I can claim the little ficlet I wrote for it! This was my first time writing for the fest, and it was essentially a pinch hit gift for a pinch hitter, the lovely magpie_fngrl! I know most people try and write epics for the fest, but I wanted to do something short and smutty to break up the long!fic. I don't know if I'll ever participate in the fest as a regular participant, but it was fun to get to play along at least a little bit this year. Thanks to everybody who left such lovely comments! ♥
