Challenge #7: Promote/Rec/Sing the Praises* of Yourself!

I was actually tagged on tumblr recently to "Choose your 5 favorite works you created in the past year and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2019" so I thought I'd sort of combine this exercise with that one! <3

( 2019 Self Recs! )

Challenge #8: Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create.

MY FAVORITE! I actually have a number of HP recs that I've been meaning to post and just keep forgetting about... SO, excellent opportunity to make things right! We've got stuff in here from hp_nextgen_fest, hpdrizzle, sirius_blk

( Jeddy Recs (+ a Bonus Cross Gen Pairing)! )

( Prongsfoot Rec! )

( Drarry Recs! )

Reveals have just posted over at hp_nextgen_fest which means it’s time to claim the fic I wrote for the fest! I’m sure nobody is surprised that the massive Jeddy!Fic was mine, and I had so much fun getting to spend some quality time with my favorite HP Next Gen boys again! <3



Title: Come Alive
Author: gracerene
Pairing: James Sirius Potter/Teddy Lupin, mention of past Teddy/Victoire, Teddy/OFCs, and James/OMCs
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~29,700
Content/Warnings: Quidditch Player James, Auror Teddy Lupin, friends to lovers, friends with benefits, pining, clubbing, drinking, drunk!sex, sexual identity, coming out, internalised biphobia, anxiety, jealousy, gay James, bisexual Teddy, first time, frottage, blow jobs, semi-public!sex, bathroom!sex, anal fingering, anal sex, Pride, queer community
Summary: Teddy already stands out enough being an orphan, a Metamorphmagus, and the son of a werewolf—nobody needs to know he's also bisexual. He's attracted to women too, so it's not a lie if he ends up married to a witch, has children, and settles down to live a perfectly normal and unremarkable life. But when he's offered the chance to experience what it's like to have strings-free sex with a man, he's powerless to resist temptation. Even if he knows there's no such thing as sex without strings when it comes to fooling around with one's best mate.
Notes: I love these two boys to pieces, and it was oodles of fun to have a chance to write something nice and meaty for my favourite Next Gen Pairing! Thanks so much to shiftylinguini and writcraft for the beta, and to the mods for hosting this fest!

Title is from the quote by Howard Thurman: "Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Title: Use Somebody
Author: gracerene
Pairing(s): James Sirius Potter/Teddy Lupin
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~3,150
Content/Warnings: established relationship, massage!fic, dirty talk, sexual fantasy, talk of cuckolding, endearments, affectionate name-calling, anal fingering, anal sex
Summary: "You told me the Magpies had got a new masseuse, but you left out just how very attractive he is."
Author's Notes: Happy BBTP! This is one of my favourite fests/challenges, as I have no end of smutty little plot bunnies desperately vying for my attention and begging for an excuse to be written. :D

Title is from the Kings of Leon song, "Use Somebody" because I couldn't resist. :)

Thanks so much to the inimitable shiftylinguini for their stellar beta work! <3

For day 4 of the sunshine_challenge we're supposed to post some recs! I do not have the time/energy to rec multiple things right now, BUT thankfully the lovely torino10154 recently wrote me a gorgeous and blisteringly hot 400 word James/Teddy drabble that I HIGHLY recommend you give a read! And it's only 400 words, so you definitely have the time for it! ;)

hpkinkfest recently posted their masterlist for their many submissions for this year's fest! As such, I thought I'd post a couple of my favorites from the fest. Though I do want to preface this and say that I read FAR fewer entries than I would have liked, so I'm absolutely positive I missed some gems. I very, very highly suggest y'all head on over to the masterlist and take a gander at what's on offer, because there is almost certainly something there to suit everybody given the wide variety of kinks and pairings! And if you're interested in reading my submission, you can find my bit of Harry/Ginny pegging here.

( HP Kinkfest Recs! )

I've honestly not read a ton of HP fic recently between RL, reading in other fandoms, and reading published books, but I've collected a handful of recs over the past couple of months and I figured I'd share them! I'm also looking forward to reading some more HP fic this next month with hpkinkfest now posting and hp_goldenage starting in March!

My entry for the 2019 hp_darkarts My Bloody Valentine Mini-fest! I have really found myself drawn to darker themes and content of late, so this fest was right up my alley. There’s a lot of fluff for this particular pairing, and I had far too much fun writing a much... darker take on their relationship. ;)

Title: to taste your beating heart
Author: gracerene
Pairing: James Sirius/Teddy, mention of past Teddy/Victoire
Rating: Mature
Word Count: ~2,200
Content/Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, obsession, blood & gore, dark!fic, mentally unstable James, non-consensual kissing, dark magic, pining, unrequited love, ambiguous/open ending, possible character death
Summary: All James had ever wanted was Teddy's heart.
Notes: Title is from Howl by Florence + The Machine. Thanks so much to the lovely shiftylinguini for not even flinching when I told her what I'd done to our boys and then asked her to beta read it! And thank you so much to the lovely writcraft for modding this fun mini-fest and providing a safe fandom space to explore darker themes and content. You are both the bee's knees! (Going with the apparently universally accepted knowledge that bee's knees are super awesome… like you!)

Please do mind the warnings. This was written for a dark fest and is very different from my usual fare. I have ticked the "Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings" box in addition to including the above tags, so there could possibly be additional dark content. You're responsible for your own consumption of content. Thanks!

Now that reveals have gone up over at hp_nextgen_fest I figured I'd post a couple of my favorites from the fest. Honestly, there were a ton of great works, and it was hard to limit myself to just a handful, so I definitely suggest checkout out the full masterlist for more goodies!

Despite August being a crazy busy month for me, I couldn't*not* participate in BBTP! Check out my offering for this year's fest below! I'm actually out of town right now, but I'm super excited to catch up on everybody else's creations when I get back!

Title: What He Wants
Author: gracerene
Pairing:James Sirius Potter/Teddy Lupin, mention of past James/OMCs
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~5,400
Content/Warnings: Quidditch Player James, Interior Designer Teddy, pansexual!Teddy, gay!James, club!fic, wall!sex, anal fingering, anal sex, dirty talk, partially clothed sex
Summary: Teddy has a tendency to dazzle, and James is far from immune to his charms.
Beta: capitu & lq_traintracks
Notes: I started this earlier in the year as a birthday gift for the lovely shiftylinguini, but my Jeddy feels were all wonky at the time and every word was like pulling teeth, so it was sadly put aside. Thankfully, my writing muse has been marginally less fickle lately, and since I'd already had a decent start on this fic, I thought bbtp_challenge would be the perfect opportunity to try and dust this one off and finish it off. It's been half an age since I've written this pairing, so I hope y'all enjoy! <3

What He Wants

Hi friends!

I was hoping one of you brilliant, shiny people might be free to beta a quick piece of James/Teddy smut for me? It's 5k, explicit, nothing too out of the ordinary. I was hoping to squeeze it in for bbtp_challenge on Saturday if I can have somebody look it over in time. LMK!

<3

Sorted! ♥

In addition to all the Smallville fics I read this past month, I also dabbled, as is my usual, in a bunch of other fandoms. Here are my favs!

( Avengers: Stony )

( Harry Potter: Prongsfoot )

( Harry Potter: Jeddy )

( Harry Potter: Drarry )

( Radio 1 D RPF: Gryles )

( The Raven Cycle: Pynch )

( Shadowhunters: Malec )

( X-Men: Cherik )

I haven't been reading a ton of fanfic, but I have a few that I've yet to properly rec over here that I've read over the past month or two, so I figured I'd make a quick post

( HP: Draco/Harry )

( HP: James/Teddy )

( MCU: Stony Rec )

( Radio 1/One Direction: Harry/Nick )

These are all of my James Sirius Potter/Teddy Lupin fic recs!

In the Warnings section of each entry I have different tags, so if you are looking for something specific (like "voyeurism" for example) just ctrl+f and enter your tag and it should highlight the relevant entries!

( James Sirius Potter/Teddy Lupin )

Hello July! I am bringing you my first fic of the month, written for that most wonderful community, daily_deviant! This fic has been living as a very vague plot bunny for years, and when I saw that Flogging was one of this month's themes, I knew I had to write it. Unfortunately, the fic wanted to be much longer than I really had time for, especially give RL constraints. Like so many of my DD fics, this one is a little outside my usual box. I hope you enjoy! <3

Title: Switch
Author: gracerene
Characters/Pairings: James Sirius/Teddy, Harry/Draco, Draco & James Sirius
Rating: NC-17
Kinks/Themes Chosen: Flogging & Rushed Sex (sort of)
Other Warnings/Content: established relationships, multiple POV, non-sexual kink, D/s dynamics, BDSM, Sub!James, Dom!Draco, flogging, sort of exhibitionism & voyeurism, sub-space, aftercare, anal sex, bottom!James, blow jobs, face-fucking, praise!kink, hand jobs
Word Count: ~7,450
Summary/Description: James's boyfriend won't hit him, and Draco's boyfriend doesn't want to be hit. James thinks there's a pretty obvious solution to these problems, he just has to get everybody else on board.
Author's Notes: This has been living in my folder of vague plot-bunnies for literal years, so I jumped at the Flogging theme. Unfortunately, it ended up wanting to be a lot longer than time really allowed, so it was a bit of a cram trying to fit it in under the deadline. Sort of an unusual fic, I think, but that's why DD is so great! :D

Thanks to lauren3210 for the speedy beta, especially since the scenario here isn't really your cup of tea. You are wonderful! <3

You guys!! wand_in_a_knot has started posting and the lovely alisanne tagged me as the second person to pop out some quick-and-dirty porn. I had a hair appointment this afternoon, and I have to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to deliver some work training, but I just couldn't pass. I'm about to crash, but in the meantime, here's my offering for this year's challenge! <3


Title: Lie-In
Author: gracerene
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: James Sirius/Teddy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~1,600
Content/Warnings: established relationship, morning sex, anal fingering, anal sex, bottom!james
Summary: James and Teddy enjoy a quiet morning in bed.
Notes: Thanks to the wonderful alisanne for the inspiring prompt of Morning Sex! It is so ungodly hot where I live right now (by my standards at least) so I decided to write some winter porn to get me through this difficult time. <3 to kitty_fic for the super speedy beta!
