dysperdis@gmail.com — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 08:28:12 GMT

Title: Per Solum Lacuna: By Words Alone
Author: Azhure
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Angst, Drama, Romance, Smut
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Warnings: Language
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: A set of enchanted journals bring solace to two very unlikely lost souls. Whoever said the art of penmanship was lost? This is a wizarding twist on the old fashioned art of correspondence (or the modern art of Internet chatting). What will happen when the mystery writers finally discover the identity of their counterpart? Join this star crossed pair as they obliviously chat to each other; along the way learning about life and love. Find out what will happen when their own voyages of self discovery lead them to the most unlikely of places. This is eventual HP/DM, but other pairings for the protagonists along their journey. Chapter 1: Just what has lead Draco Malfoy to be skulking around the unfashionable side of Paris’ Wizarding Quarter?
Why I like this fic: It's been a while since I read this fic, but I recently found it again. It's beautifully written, and absolutely addictive. I've read it twice so far, and plan on reading it again once I get a chance to (which will likely be once midterms are over...)

Man's Dwelling Place by Sansa

dysperdis@gmail.com — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:10:36 GMT

Title: Man's Dwellling Place (f-locked)
Author: Sansa1970
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Drama, Romance
Pairing: Albus Severus/Scorpius
Warnings: Character Death
Spoilers: Mild DH Spoilers
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: Scorpius is the lone survivor of a tragedy that cost him his family, his identity, and his past. Albus shows him a possible future for them both.
Why I like this fic: The same reason I like all of Sansa's fic- good characterization, a good plot, and lots of smut.

Sacrifices Arc (Saving Connor Series) by Lightning Wave

dysperdis@gmail.com — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 07:59:01 GMT

Title: Sacrifices Arc (Saving Connor Series)
Author: Lightning Wave
Rating: M
Genre: Drama/Angst/Horror/Adventure/Tragedy
Pairing: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy
Warnings: Het, Extreme Violence, Gore, Physical and Mental Abuse, Rape, Character Death, AU, OCs
Spoilers: HBP
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: Saving Connor begins an AU of Harry Potter's school years, the Sacrifices Arc, where Harry's twin Connor (bearing a heart-shaped scar) is acknowledged as the Boy-Who-Lived. Harry and Connor have a loving relationship, and Harry plays the role of personal bodyguard/silent support for his brother to the hilt.
Why I like this fic: This fic is beautifully written. It's incredibly long- it took me a week to read this 3 million word monster (for comparison, it took me less than 4 hours to read DH). The OCs are well integrated- they're well rounded, and avoid Mary Sue-ism. It's probably the most angst-filled story I've read- part of the reason it took me so long is that I had to stop reading at points to keep from getting overwhelmed- hell, the bloody thing made me cry.

Rec: Animalia, James/Sirius Remus/Sirius (James/Lily), PG13

dysperdis@gmail.com — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 02:03:46 GMT

Animalia by gyzym. James/Sirius, Remus/Sirius, James/Lily PG-13, summary: Everyone assumed that Sirius and James got on so well because they were exactly alike and they were all wrong; everyone assumed Sirius and James got on so well because they were both crazy and that was true.

I was asked to beta this and... basically squealed a lot and (sort of) flogged her into finishing. The characterization! The Peter-actually-existing! The Remus and his marmalade! The Sirius! I shall include an excerpt to tempt you:

But still, the boy was sixteen, and even if he had grown up love starved and haughty there was no reason to get in brawls before he’d had any marmalade. Not that the marmalade was cursory, not that Sirius could fight as much as he pleased so long as he’d had some delicious orange preserves first, but it was—base. It was base, that’s what it was, it was base and also cruel and James was leaning into Sirius’ ear again and goading him in that way he did and

“Pass the marmalade!” Remus yelped, perhaps with a bit more passion than was required. James twitched, and Peter jumped rather violently, and Sirius turned with one cool eyebrow raised and looked at Remus with amusement that was pleasantly condescending.

“I’m not deaf, Moony, honestly,” he said, and passed it, and added, “bloody hell, but you’re odd in the mornings,” like he was remarking on the weather instead of Remus’s character. And oh, he was maddening, he was smiling showing his canines and doing it again, acting like he was just a little bit better than everyone, and Remus couldn’t make him stop because Remus agreed with him and his stupid aristocratic pride.

Fic Rec: Portrain of the Narcissist as a Young Man

dysperdis@gmail.com — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 22:13:23 GMT

Title: A Portrait of the Narcissist as a Young Man
Author: snegurochka_lee
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Slightly dark, though more implied than anything
Pairings: James/Remus, James/Sirius, James/Remus/Sirius
Warnings: Adultery, Deep Psychological Issues
Spoilers: through PoA
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: James-centric; exactly what the title says. Author's summary: Once upon a time – and a very good time it was – there was a young Pureblood wizard with a penchant for narcissism. This is his portrait.
Why I like this fic: A fascinating character study of James as a Right Prick, and how he goes around basically screwing over everyone he supposedly cares about as a mode of self-love, and just. Mm. Reeeeead it.

The Road by Rurounihime

dysperdis@gmail.com — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 18:53:53 GMT

Title: The road (WIP)
http://rurounihime.livejournal.com/tag/road
Author: Rurounihime
Rating: hard R
Genre: Action/adventure, angst, romance, smut
Pairing: it starts as Harry/Ginny, but will be Harry/Draco eventually, there is also Blaise/Seamus
Warnings: violence, angst, character death
Spoilers: Spoilers for all seven books. Rurounihime wrote: "This fic is now AU because of Deathly Hallows. And at the risk of much silliness, I now discover that there are apparently DH spoilers in this story from the beginning. O.o"
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: In the midst of a disintegrating war, Harry awaits the arrival of the Order’s last hope.
Why I like this fic: This is really well written, the characters acts and thoughts are described realistically and the emotions seems real. The only thing that I don't like is that the update takes a long time, but it doesn't matter, because every chapter is a piece of art! And don't forget all the beautiful pictures that a lot of readers have done.

Double Edged Sword by Romaine

dysperdis@gmail.com — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 05:29:52 GMT

Title: Double Edged Sword
Author: Romaine
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Action/Adventure, Angst, Children/Parenthood, Drama, Romance, Smut, Supernatural, Suspense
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Warnings: Angst, Death (Major Character), Death (Minor Character), Extreme Physical Abuse, Het, Language, Original Character(s), Smut, Violence,
Spoilers: HBP
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary:
Step into the Magical life story—love story of Harry and Draco. This epic-journey is filled with adventure, angst, drama, tragedy, humour, and most of all—love. The story begins where book 6 leaves us readers, stranded at the monument of Albus Dumbledore. At that moment, Harry thinks his life is planned out; if it’s short he dies, if it’s long he gets the girl. However, visitors come to see him the night he ‘Comes of Age’ and he has a decision to make. His choice changes the course of his life and those around him forever. The story adheres to canon as much as possible. The beginning has a lot of het H/G. It will change, for this is Harry and Draco’s story.
Why I like this fic: First of all, this is a long fic- 100 chapters plus an epilogue. It's well written, with a well-rounded plot, and follows Harry and Draco from almost immediately after HBP through to the end of their lives and beyond. A good read if you're looking for a novel lenght fic and don't mind a bit of het mixed in with your slash.

Remus/Sirius rec

dysperdis@gmail.com — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 00:06:55 GMT

Title: Seven Lessons with Sirius Black
Author: freudian_fuckup
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Possibly angst?
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Warnings: Drug use, underaged
Spoilers: None, really
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary:
Why I like this fic: This is the second piece I've read by this writer, and both times I've been really surprised that there's not more hoo-ha. The writing is sparse and elegant, and the twisted, hectic, and universally unhappy sense of it just adds to the elegance. The story spans each of Remus' seven years at Hogwarts, each starting off with something Sirius taught him that year. The progression is nicely paced, and though a few times I did think to myself, 'Aren't they a bit too young for this?' each time the writer ties it back into plausibility with their reactions to all of the weirdness. I really recommend reading this, and others by freudian_fuckup, because the sense of poignant despair, dappled with all-too-short moments of breath-taking hope, is just really, really groovy.

Feedback, plz?

dysperdis@gmail.com — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 10:13:34 GMT

Hi there!

Your friendly neighbourhood maintainer here, looking for feedback on the asylum! I'm trying my best to make this asylum as useful and user-friendly as possible, but I'm only one person, and an overworked one at that- so, obviously, there are going to be places that I fall short. To combat that, I'm looking for feedback. This could be any concerns you have, links you want to see added, complaints or criticisms, or whatever.

So, any suggestions? Questions? Comments? Concerns?

(you know, that sounded a lot more upbeat than I feel at the moment...)

Cambiare Podentes by Jordan Grant

dysperdis@gmail.com — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 21:22:41 GMT

Title: Cambiare Podentes: Invocare & Cambiare Podentes: Madurare (Both can be found on Walking The Plank)

Summary: Great power demands great sacrifice. But how will Harry manage to sacrifice all himself, in irrevocable slavery, to Severus Snape?
Why I like this fic: Podentes has become almost iconic in the realm of forced-bonding fics, and for good reason. It's well written, and while it is subject to some of the cliches associated with forced-bonding fics, Jordan adds a definite unique twist.

Permanently Insane! & Call for maintainers

dysperdis@gmail.com — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 21:29:30 GMT

First of all- an announcement: I have upgraded the asylum to "permanently Insane" status!

Secondly, I'm looking for help. Now that school's starting up, I won't have as much time to devote to maintaining hp_slash_recs, and I'm looking for people who are willing to help out, especially as my computer has been giving me problems and I may have very limited internet access for a couple of weeks should it die on me again.

Let me know if you're interested in helping, and I'll give you more details.

"Harry Potter and the Mirror Of Paradox" by Yih

dysperdis@gmail.com — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 16:20:48 GMT

Title: Harry Potter and the Mirror Of Paradox
Author: Yih
Rating: T (aka PG-13)
Genre: Drama, Adventure.
Pairing: Severus/Harry, mention of Draco/Hermione and Draco/Harry.
Warnings: None.
Spoilers: Book 1-5.
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: 6th-year AU, reality-travel. Transported into another dimension by cursed mirror, Harry enters a world where he died as an infant and ruled by Voldemort. Left with no choice, he adapts.
Why I like this fic: It's a reality-travel stroy, in which Harry was threw into alternate reality and was re-sorted into other House and showed us his gifted and intelligent side and blossomed under a false name. He's a totally different paeson from canon, but not unreasonable so. Mostly, it focused on how Harry grows and matures into a capable and powerful wizard.

Quid Pro Quo, T.O.O. by Josan, and And Then There Were Three, by swtalmnd

dysperdis@gmail.com — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 04:08:52 GMT

Title: Quid Pro Quo, T.O.O
Author: Josan
Rating: NC-17
Genre: PPP (Porn plus plot)
Pairing: Severus/Harry/Draco
Warnings: Threesome, Non-Con, Dub-Con, BDSM
Spoilers:
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: Harry is in his last year at Hogwarts, which makes him 17 and therefore legal. (An aside here: I am still a little uncomfortable writing him at that age even if he is legal...guess I'm not real material for The Black List).

The War is still raging and Voldemort is giving the Order of the Phoenix a good run for its money. Things are tense.

Draco, also 17, also in his last year, has repudiated his father and all that he stands for after...well, who cares. Make up a reason that will please you. All that's important is that some newly revealed addendum of the Prophecy has indicated that he is somehow important to Harry's eventual success. Should, of course, Harry succeed.

Therefore, both lads have to work together.

And, right now, they're getting along as well as...two wet cats in a sac, a starving terrier and an enraged rat who does not intend to be supper. As well as a Gryffindor and a Slytherin who have hated each other's guts from the moment they met.

This is very worrying for Albus Dumbledore, who knows that they have to get them to – at the very least – co-operate. To that end, he has tried all sorts of things...with no success. As Harry's Head of House, Minerva McGonagall has tried talking to him with no greater success. Severus Snape, Head of Slytherin, has said that he has tried with Draco as well.

But the moment the two spy each other, hexes begin to fly and...well, that does not bode well for eventual victory over Voldemort.

Why I like this fic: Smut + Plot... really, is there anything better?

------

Title: And Then There Were Three
Author: swtalmnd
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Romance
Pairing: Severus/Harry/Draco
Warnings: MPreg, Rimming, Threesome, OCs, Mild Het
Spoilers:
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: Snape asks Draco and Harry to participate in the first round of his Petitioner's Courtship as a favour, and they both allow themselves to consider his suit more seriously than anyone expected.
Why I like this fic: Well written, and hot.

Twenty Years Later by Reba Williams

dysperdis@gmail.com — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 18:43:41 GMT

Title: Twenty Years Later
Author: Reba Williams
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Drama/Angst, Humour, Romance
Pairing: Harry/Draco, Harry/OMC, Draco/OMC
Warnings: Violence, Gore, Character Death, Drug Use/Abuse, Group Sex, Graphic Sex, Non-Con, Prostitution
Spoilers: OOtP
Disclaimers: Harry Potter is © J. K. Rowling, WB, Scholastic, and all others involved. No money is being made off these works.
Summary: Written Pre-HBP. It’s been almost twenty years since Harry Potter graduated Hogwarts as the ‘Hero of the Wizarding World‘. It was near the end of his seventh year when he finally defeated Voldemort. The details of that battle can be found in any number of history books or in one of the hundreds of biographies about Harry’s Life, well at least the first twenty-five years of his life, nobody knows what happened to Harry the morning after his twenty-fifth birthday. But we are about to.
Why I like this fic: This fic is hot as hell. The smut (and boy, is there a lot of it) ranges to touching and sweet to just plain animalistic. There's also a raw aspect to the whole thing, which strengthens both the characters and the plot, adding a "Real" feeling to it. It's actually hard to put into words why I like this fic- it appeals to me on an instinctual level.

Why I like this fic: Frankly, Steppenwoelfin is an awesome writer. A firm plot and a minimum of OOC-ness make this fic a must read. Afterward, take a look at her other completed Snarry, Crash Boom Bang.
