It's okay, I've done it before.

My Remix gift has posted!

And you should read it because it's a hawt little fic and it's fabulous and funny and full of sneering god-these-people-are-amatures!Draco, who's still a little shy and I LOVE him like that and Harry's so just-going-with-it wonderful and speaking my favourite foreign language and I can't stop squeeing!

She's remixed Better and Better, something I never would have considered, and it just works so well!

Title: Room for Improvement
Author: ????
Pairings: Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny
Rating: Adult
Warnings: a brief unsavory bit of Harry/Ginny het
Summary: Malfoy's family-rehabilitation project is going so well. But is Potter worth risking all his hard work?
Word Count: ~2500

*sings* It's my birthday, It's my birthday! Well, not really, but giftfic from another of my hp_kinkfest prompts has been posted and it's hawt and sweet and nnnngggggghhhhh!!!

If you'd like a little spanking thrown into your Harry/Scorp, then race over to give Errant Child by meglw0228 a smack. This fic is full of UST to the point where the reader is about to explode by the end. And throwing Al in as the innocent bystander completely melted my brain.

( Teaser )

I'm sure if we all beg ask nicely, maybe we might get a sequel? Y/y? *nods empatically*

I've not read a lot of H/Sc recently, and this, plus my other lovely H/Sc gifts have been reminding me of how much I love this pairing!

Thank you, lovely meglw0228!

It's like Chanukah all over again! More presents for me today! Wonder if I'll get something nice tomorrow? (Oh, yes, I do - the house to myself while Mr Nursedarry is in Cardiff watching the rugby:)

I've got more gift fic to rec, this time coming from hd_seasons.

You all know me - I asked for: Getting together first-time sex, happy endings, Parsletongue, the Hogwarts Express, Harry summoning his patronus, Quidditch, hair touching each others hair, surprise kisses, kissing in front of and audience by mistake, kissing eyelids, broom, wands, Harry's glasses, returning Draco's wand, dancing together somewhere, flying together on the same broom.

And yes, Yes, YES!!! It's pretty much all in there - woven together in the most beautiful and delicious way. This is one candy heart I'm going to be savouring all month!

Of Dreams and Reality by Anon.

The prompt was blood-play, but they most definitely weren't playing.

This is a prefect and beautifully-written fic, gifted to me by the wonderfully stealthy mijeli for hp_kinkfest. You're not going to see anything grusome or squicky here - what you'll see are two boys fighting for two very different reasons. Or maybe it's the same reason. Have they reached a truce? Have they, fuck.

Author's Notes: Many thanks to my talented betas, delphipsmith and groolover. Cheerleading and ”What the hell were you trying to say when you wrote THAT?” kindly asked by treacle_tartlet and cassie_black12. As it appears I was channelling the boys as the lovely marguerite_26 likes them, this is dedicated to her. Also, I should probably apologise for the almost complete lack of plot.

( I want what Harry wants )

Played hostess to the wonderful accioscar and cassie_black12 this weekend, who played with my children, forced me to watch Merlin (I like your new OTP, melusinahp :), and went to the cinema with me.

Whilst there, they sat and listened to me scoff at scenes that everyone else was crying through (I hate that character), get all teary over a dead bird, and go a little weak in the knees just before Ron starts hurling swords around - can't believe I've had to wait soooo long to hear Harry talk the talk. Enjoyed the film, but can't say I liked it better than HBP, and, as I've been tweeting to the Next Gen all week, can't wait for the next one. (It was rather cheeky of 'James' to accuse me of being drunk for the last five days and then ask after my near-fatal hangover this morning.)

♥ Also had a lovely phone call from Afghanistan to wake me up only after 3 hours of sleep. ♥

Om nom nom and thank you to cassie_black12, lilyginny27, nicevenn, jtsbbsps_dk, veritas03, treacle_tartlet, emansil_08, and lijahlover for the healthy fruit-plates, and THANK YOU SO MUCH, emansil_08, for the gorgeous postcard from Portofino!

I've also just finished my ficlet (LOL!) for hd_seasons and am in love with my prompt for leo_palooza's Christmas fest.

Must dash to take Scar to Heathrow, finish a beta, and get on with reading everything enchanted_jae has ever written (am so in the mood for her Consort arc). Hope everyone has a great rest-of-the weekend!

Oh, of course this was mine:)

Word Count: 9564
Author's Notes: Written for hd_fan_fair’s Travel Fair. Title taken from the song Wave Your Flag. Cheers to treacle_tartlet for the introducing me to the Tasmanian Quidditch team and to ineffably_roma for loaning me barefoot!Draco. Betas of win are delphipsmith and cassie_black12. And finally, huge thanks go to Kennilworthy Whisp for all of the stamps in my passport!

NB: For those unfamiliar with the traditions of New Zealand rugby, please go here before reading about the boys’ Quidditch match in Tasmania. The video gives a translation as well as some interesting historical background...that is, if you bother to take your eyes off the men long enough to read the narration.
