Last set of hd_holidays  recs before the reveal this afternoon! There are still three fics I wanted to read before the reveal, but time was not on my side.

One of Grimmauld Place's ancient portraits bears witness to Harry and Draco's growing relationship. Original and thoroughly engrossing.

'The Minority Report' set in Potterverse. Engrossing story. Wonderful flashback scene of a young Harry and Draco fumbling around in the bedroom. Excellent Ron, too.

~ anonymous wrote Poems from the Underground. [R] ♥
*sigh* Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Less of a story than a snapshot of Harry and Draco's relationship. Bittersweet and romantic. The writing is excellent. There are photos mixed in with the text.

~ anonymous wrote The Business of Saving Souls [NC-17]
This author (who is obvious if you read a lot of h/d) has a great talent for wrenching intense emotion out of her characters, and this fic is no exception. This Draco is more emotionally fragile than I would interpret him. Still, a moving story, and I thought Harry's characterization as a stoic loner who likes to drink was spot on. Devastating middle scene where Draco nearly falls apart except Harry is there to save him.

Wonderful crack. Moaning Myrtle is a fanfic writer. Who knew?
