Happy Birthday, malfoy_manor12, alovelycupoftea, mae_linda and stellamoon!

And speaking of stellamoon, you must RUN and look at Secret Heritage (Art, Harry/Draco @ hd_worldcup). It's absolutely STUNNING!


Time for birthday porn.



Stop looking now if you don't want explicitness.

I spent my morning happily reading fics. (Yay!) So this is just a post to rec a bunch that made me REALLY happy. Er . . . the fact that they all happen to be high rated is a coincidence.

I realize that most of you probably read all of them, as these fics are old, but they're new to me and they deserve pimping. I've skipped a bunch of WiPs but will get back to them, and I've looked around hd_holidays and I'm afraid I'll have to skip many fics as I can't really read angst and then there's always my "The Weasleys' and Hermione's characterizations sensitivity" that made me skip a lot of fic (usually the long ones) since I don't like their characterizations (I don't mean outright bashing; no to that goes without saying). Sorry about that; sometimes just tiny little things bug me. I'm sure you all know how that is.

So.

( Recs here! )

Also, there's a new community made and moderated by some awesome folks: harry_scorpius is a comm for . . . wait for it . . . Harry/Scorpius shippers. So if you like that ship, go and watch. (Hmm, that sounds pervy.)

And.

CULPRIT WANTED: Um, someone sent me an LJ Gift Certificate. Who? Why? Let me kiss you?

And.

I has a plot? *flexes fingers* Well, no, it's not a plot it's . . . silliness. But you knew that.

First, authors and artists, all of you — popular, underappreciated, new, and old — go here. (If you want.) Pick your most popular fic/pic and your favourite fic/pic and pimp yourself. Why? Well, why not? This is turning out to be an awesome post and LJ is dead, and you need reading material if nothing else, right? So at least stalk the entry for recs. (Then maybe you'll feel like pimping.) I've stalked and was reminded about stellamoon.

Prepare to fangirl. GO!

So stellamoon. WOW! You may have seen some of this art, but I must make this post to fangirl as hard as I can, because I'm amazed with this artist. I'm amazed with a lot of artists, but they're around more and stellamoon is someone I know and have seen around, but not nearly as much as I would like to.

These are all Harry/Draco, or Harry, or Draco unless otherwise noted. Forgive me, these are all beautifully drawn and if I knew a bit more about art I'd say something clever, but mostly I can just drool. *hangs head in shame* So without further ado ...

Peacock Dreams (NC-17) This exists so you could stare and stare and never stop staring. It's so beautiful that nothing I say could describe it properly. Just LOOK at it!

Coming Home (PG) This exists so you could sigh happily and admire.

Longing (G) This is Harry. I mean, this IS Harry. *is adamant*

Harry on the Sofa (PG) This is also Harry. MY Harry!

Remus Lupin (G) Oh my God! I wish I imagined Remus like this while reading the books.

Under the Maypole (PG) *happy sigh* Gorgeous.

Harry (PG) You'd think I can't sigh anymore. But ... *sigh*

Back Off! (G) LOL! Little Draco. He's so freaking adorable. And SO Draco!

And thank you, romaine24, for reminding me about this newest naughty one! Draco and the Lion Tamer (NC-17)

*adores*

ETA: New HPB trailer is up. I haven't looked closely yet, but I think Draco is crying in the bathroom at 1:32 and Harry and Ginny are almost kissing at 1:33.
