Harry Potter recs

[shinra_lackey]

Random Harry Potter recs and sorry about the lack of in depth analysis.

The Sparrow Prince by wayfairer (oneshot, gen)
A Soft Spot for Lost Causes by helenish (complete, Ron/Draco)
Days Before by Rae (oneshot, Harry/Draco) first recced by switchknife
Irresistible Poison by iscaris (series, complete, H/D)
Snakes and Lions by gatewaygirl (series, complete, H/D)

The Sparrow Prince by wayfairer (oneshot, gen) One thing I really like about the HP fandom that you don't see much anywhere else is well executed fairy tale fanfiction. The universe lends itself well because you have aspects of the mundane and fantastical side by side and you can draw from either one. The Sparrow Prince is a beautiful example of this from Draco's prospective, plus I just love wayfairer's work.

A Soft Spot for Lost Causes by helenish (complete, Ron/Draco) Post-War, Draco Malfoy is recovered from a Deatheater stronghold and put into the care of Ron Weasley. Too bad he's still under a compulsion to crave sex. Hot and sweet, I love the progression from not wanting to have anything to do with each other to sex, sex, sex.

Days Before by Rae (oneshot, Harry/Draco) first recced by switchknife Post-War. Everything for Harry and Draco is not tea and roses.

Irresistible Poison by iscaris (series, complete, H/D) Um, I'm not sure why I'm bothering to rec this series. It's one of the must read H/D fics for the HP fandom and for good reason. When it first came out I can remember how anxious for new parts I was and how tortuous the weeks/months were. Great raw emotion from both Harry and Draco.

Snakes and Lions by gatewaygirl (series, complete, H/D) Summary: When Ron and Hermione get together, they notice only each other. A nightmare prompts Harry to return alone to the empty Chamber of Secrets, and leads to a new look at an old enemy. Harry enjoys the company, but with Dominique LeStrange actively hunting him, how far can he trust a Death Eater's son? (H/D friendship -- progressing to mild slash) Sixth year. Rated R for unseemly behavior (drinking, stealing, and Dark Arts), occasional cursing (the non-magical sort), and a non-explicit, but icky rape/murder related by one of the characters in chapter 18.
