Editor's Choice Rec:
• The Best Aerial Steam Team in the DMLE by naadi (Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter; G; art)
Summary: Draco Malfoy is one-half of the best damned Aerial Steam Team in Wizarding Britain, and he's exceedingly proud of it. It doesn't hurt that his partner is adorable delectable not nearly as displeasing as previously presumed, even if Potter doesn't always support Draco's fashion choices. Really, how can Draco not want to transfigure his standard-issue Ministry uniform (boring!) into something more posh. He's still the best at his job. He even invented wings!

Summary: When Scorpius Malfoy – Legilimens-extraordinaire, perfect son and all-round kinky little bastard – discovers that his father harbours a certain fantasy involving Harry Potter, a submissive attitude and a priceless antique dining table, he sets out to make his father's dreams come true. And if succeeding in his mission involves putting up with a naked, willing Albus Severus? Well, that's a price that Scorpius will just have to pay.

Hot Art:
• Timeless by kiertorata (Hermione Granger/Lily Evans; NC-17)
Summary:Hermione had always been a resourceful witch.

Hot Rec:
• Unexpected Company by gracerene (Ron Weasley/Teddy Lupin; NC-17, 4,937 words)
Summary:Ron doesn’t really know what to do with his new bachelor status, or with himself at this rotten party, but the booze is good, and very free, and Teddy Lupin is turning out to be unexpectedly good company.

• Darling, Don't Think Twice by shiftylinguini (Harry Potter/Teddy Lupin; NC-17, 18,081 words)
Summary:Leaving the Aurors, and then England, after his divorce with Ginny was finalised was the best thing for Harry, and for Ginny, too ― but not for the godson who worshipped the ground he walked on. Now that he’s back, all Harry wants is to set up his own place, and to spend time with Teddy as he tries to fix their fractured relationship. Teddy, however, wants something else from Harry, and there’s only so many ways Harry can tell him no.

• Putting Out Fires (with Gasoline) by lq_traintracks (Harry Potter/Teddy Lupin; NC-17, 13,633 words)
Summary:Teddy stays with Harry for a summer to help him figure out his life, or maybe to figure out his own, or to seduce his godfather, or maybe to fall in love.

• The Company Ink by gryffindorj (Draco Malfoy/James Sirius Potter; NC-17, 9,380 words)
Summary:Why was Pansy always so god damned right?

• A Stroke of Luck by mindabbles (Draco Malfoy/James Sirius Potter; NC-17, 17,715 words)
Summary:James wants two things. A successful career as an Auror and the head of the Auror training department. His first assignment takes an unexpected turn and he’s on the way to getting both.
