Rating: R
Warning: Character Death
Summary: On the chessboard of life, never underestimate the power of an angry queen.

Lady B's observation: I laughed my ass off. My favorite line: Harry's here, he's queer, get used to it!"

Go.Read.Now!

It's rare I rec two fics at the same time, but these are both wonderful stories.

"Harry Woke Up" by taylorj828: Six years after Voldemort is destroyed, all his Death Eaters and followers are finally defeated, but at what price? Harry finds himself in an unknown place, missing more than just a few memories... and facing one of the most difficult challenges in his life. Blind!Harry/Deaf!Draco

I have nothing to say about this one other than the fact that watching them struggle with their disabilities as well as a new-found friendship made my heart feel all warm and fuzzy.



"Special Gifts" by oldenuf2nobetter: Ten years after a devastating accident costs Harry Potter the love of his life and leaves him with life altering injuries, he is asked to return to Hogwarts to help the child of an old friend, with the help of an old adversary.

A really good Harry as a psychic (think Trelawney but with honest to goodness psychic abilities) story. This one kept me on the edge of my seat as I read it. At first I was a little leery of reading it because of the past Ron/Harry pairing but it didn't feel like a Ron/Harry story...Hermione was totally bitchy through it all which made me hate her more than I already do. Draco was a revelation...part old school Slytherin snark with a mix of Hufflepuff love and loyalty to Harry, it was fun to watch. I should warn you now...you will need tissues as you read it, especially when you reach the end.

I've just spent the last 4 hours re-reading one of my favorite stories from one of my favorite authors. If you haven't read it before or haven't read it in a while, I highly recommend it.

Title: Come What May
Author: florida_minxie
Pairing: Harry/Draco, Harry/Severus, Harry/Draco/Severus implied triad
Summary: Pushed into a corner Severus Snape handles it the only way he knows how… he kills Albus Dumbledore. Harry Potter returns to the castle determined to find the power to kill not only Voldemort but also the man who took his mentor away from him, Severus Snape. Instead, he overhears a damning conversation between two people he trusted. Finally using his innate Slytherin cunning, he digs deeper and finds not everything is as it appears.
Will it change his loyalties or just the way he fights?

Brings me to tears each time I read it.

I'm going to rec one of my own fics today, because I just got a positive review for it and I had to go back and read it myself. I should have realized that I shouldn't read one of my own crackfics with tea in my mouth...

Pairing: Neville Longbottom/Trevor the Toad/Madame Pomfrey/Severus Snape/Albus Dumbledore/Minerva McGonagall/Ron Weasley/The Mimblus Mimbletonia (WTF???)

Author Summary: Harry was sent to Azkaban after being framed for murder in the beginning of his 6th year at Hogwarts. While there, he unlocks the "Power the Dark Lord Knows Not". What will happen once his former friends know he's innocent? Watch the fun!
Lady B's notes: Serious Dumbledore/Snape/Fudge/Weasley (all of them)/Hermione/McGonagall/Gryffindor/Slytherin/Dursley bashing to the nth degree! I think I've been waiting all my life for a story such as this. Harry gets a backbone and tells everyone around him to fuck off. There is one scene that made me cry and that was when Dobby takes Harry to see the graves of his parents.

Single Wizard Seeking Same by jennavere

This story is so cute!!!!! Read it!!!!

Title: Potions and Prophecies
Author/Co-Author: Angyl/Rina
Archived @: The Hex Files
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Author Summary: It's another Draco becomes a spy for the Order story with a slight twist and lots of hot sex.
My Summary: Draco Malfoy plotted the demise of his father by planting false information within Voldemort's ranks that Lucius was a spy working for the side of Light. Once Lucius was dead and gone, Draco prevailed upon Dumbledore to allow Harry to be his "summoneo" (see story for an explanation of the term). After a shaky start, a truce occurs and so much more.

Notes: The Draco/Ron interaction in this story is delightful and gut-aching hilarious at times. I've never laughed and cried so much during a fic in quite some time. Draco is sappy and romantic at times while completely retaining his sadistic sense of humor and biting wit.

And there is a hilarious description of Draco in a loudly printed Bermuda shirt, shorts, black socks and sandals. *giggle*

Interesting subject line, eh?

I have a reason for it...

I was reading a rec'd story at The Hex Files by Constant Vigilance called "Engorgio". Realizing I'd read it before, I moved my mouse to click on the "recently added" link, thinking about check out the new stuff but something stopped me. Instead I moved my mouse to the address bar and changed the numbers of the story ID...

Who would have thought I'd come across this little gem!!! I've been reading it since about 9 pm my time (Eastern USA) and just finished the last available chapter about 15 minutes ago (the chapters are long and there are 21 of them).

It looks like an abandoned WiP as it hasn't been updated since April 2005, but what I did read of it, it's a very good story. So if you don't mind reading an abandoned WiP, feel free to read.

I only hope the authoress comes back to it soon because it looks fantastic...

- "Beauty in Perfection; Stand by Me" by imLittleLily: Find out how the embroiling passions of Harry and Draco can shift and coalesce into unity for all of the wizarding world.


UPDATE: Thanks to justinssunshine, I've got the completed story from FFN...
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2189484/1/

"Bond" by annafugazzi: I believe her words were 'I've seen enough of Mr. Potter this year and he's got you to take care of him now. If I see either of you again, you'd best be at death's door or I'll put you there myself.'

It's got Bastard!Lucius and Bondmates!Harry/Draco

My birthday was Monday, and some of my friends wrote me fic based on prompts I gave. Here's the list, listed by what journal they were posted to. I still have one or two coming so this list will expand in the next few weeks.

I've been on a DarkEvilLord!Harry kick today and came across this gem of a story.
