I am at long last able to do things like comment and add people. Which is blissful. I am adding Diacon people and shamelessly stalking their Diacon posts.

Which so far has been a blissful experience. Everyone seems to have had a blast :D

This is still not my, er, ‘official’ Diacon post. It is very long though. ( Cut for a happy teal deer. Which sounds like a drugs euphemism )

So yes, Victory Ball? Best ever. And creatore_magico captured it on tape:



*squishes Ku* I’m so grateful you made it for us. (And with such super-speed, too!) It’s a gorgeous vid and captures the atmosphere so well, and I’m just so happy to have it for posterity.

Also, my mum thinks it’s lovely.

Just getting on the internet for the first time over here, super-quickly, for a brief note to say I had a BRILLIANT time at the Victory Ball tonight. It was amazing and I had so much fun and YAY!! Thank you to everyone, especially the rest of the committee and the great volunteers ♥

ALL THE GLEE

So cugami already posted this over at ron_draco, but I feel the need to have it commemorated on my LJ for all time.



Interviewer: If you could have played anyone else who would you have played?
Tom: Hermione and Hagrid. Other than that, I just can’t see myself play anyone else.
Interviewer: -laughing- Hermione? Why Hermione?
Tom: Well I just thought I’d be a brilliant Hermione. I mean, I thought Emma was great but I think I would’ve brought something deeper. No I’m just kidding.
Interviewer: But you would’ve had to kiss Ron Weasley at the end.
Tom: Well that’s the reason I would want to! Rupert’s a dashing lad and I’ve been trying to get on him for years but no go.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

( Scent Memory )

Happy birthday, Draco! You are my bestest boy of all and I’m so glad you lived to see this birthday :)

The subject line seems terribly apropos for Draco's birthday :D

Now! Speaking of, who wants to see TINY TOM FELTON and TINY DAN RAD and TINY RUPERT GRINT and TINY EMMA WATSON? And who does not care for them but wants to see ALL THE STARS IN THE BRITISH SKY being variously fantastic?

The London IMAX is having a MASSIVE HP marathon, to celebrate the franchise before the very last film. On the Friday night the first four films are shown, and on the Saturday they’ll show the last three.

Cut to diacon_chat for details

One of these has already appeared here, but I’m posting them all together because I’m a completist. There are spoilery reccomendations for the fics behind the cuts. The art recs will be posted later :)


Custard Tarts for the Tart by iamisaac (Severus/Draco, 2500 words, NC-17.)
After the war, there are precious few jobs going for ex-Death-Eaters. War-hero Severus, however, finds one for Draco...

( This is short, elegant, and utterly engrossing. )


The Small Things by nishizono (Severus/Draco, 5200 words, NC-17.)
Life in Severus Snape’s pocket was not nearly as exciting as it sounded.

( The premise is ‘Snape shrinks Draco to six inches tall and keep him in his pocket to protect him from Voldemort.’ That is such a gimmick - and not something that hits my kink buttons - yet it *totally* works. )


Mastermind by Marks/markyskins (Severus/Draco, 1900 words, NC-17.)
Draco's been given to Severus as a reward for good service. Now, eager to prove himself as the perfect servant, Draco would do anything to please his Master. SS/DM, SS/HP (Slavery, role-play, bondage, cross-dressing)

Apparently I like Draco being unrequitedly in love with Snape while they have sex. :D

( The premise for this is less usual than you’d think - Voldemort-wins-and-Draco-ends-up-as-Snape’s-slave. But it’s HEARTBREAKING. )


Full of Grace by arsenicjade (Severus/Draco, 1300 words, G.)
"What," Severus demanded, "is that?"

( This is a titchy little ficlet, but it’s fantastic. )


Trappings of Privilege by klynie1 (Severus/Draco, 16 900 words, NC-17.)
It's Draco's seventh year at Hogwarts. Carrow wants him. Snape doesn't.

( This is a bit of a classic premise for the pairing: Draco comes to Snape for protection during DH, and the price is sexual favours. And this is how it’s done right. )


The Strange Effects of Love And Italian Leather Upon The Whackfoggle Wizarding Hunt Club, or How Miss Clarissa Portree-Genetton Lost a Prospective Husband But Gained a New Name by nehalenia (Severus/Draco, 7100 words, NC-17.)
It’s not easy being a Malfoy; especially when your lover is a snarky, bitter, old bastard named Severus Snape.

( This is ultimately domestic, fluffy comedy. )


Clean and Filthy by entrenous88 (Severus/Draco, 5200 words, NC-17.)
After failing to kill Dumbledore and fleeing with Snape, Draco finds himself in the middle of quite a mess.

( Draco dresses up as a French maid! )


Let Me Live by gypsyflame (Harry/Draco, Severus/Draco, 11 025 words, NC-17.)
Draco can’t get what he needs from his husband, so he gets it from Potter.

I am an enormous fan of gypsyflame’s work; she writes some of the absolute hottest smut I’ve found in fandom. She also has a great grasp of characterisation, and it’s on display here.

( This fic starts with Harry and Draco having sex. )

Dancing round the maypole indeed *sniggers*

Writer’s block has hit me like a train. Not surprising, really; Miss Godfrey and Violet both went home this morning. More importantly for writer’s-block-causing, this has been a stressful week essay-wise, and since I have a big Medieval project and my dissertation due in less than a month, it’s not going to ease off quickly.

And diacon_alley is coming up - which is a source of great excitement, but also effort!

Anyway: writing is far from the only way one can contribute to fandom, so in that spirit, here are the two crack_broom recs I’ve posted so far this month.

Custard Tarts for the Tart by iamisaac (Severus/Draco, 2500 words, NC-17.)
After the war, there are precious few jobs going for ex-Death-Eaters. War-hero Severus, however, finds one for Draco...

This is short, elegant, and utterly engrossing.

It was written for a “catamites” challenge at Daily Deviant, but takes a very different tack from the one you might expect. This Draco isn’t a mistreated, virginal woobie; but neither is he an effortlessly beautiful, charming, superlatively skilled young whore. He’s never brought Snape to orgasm with his mouth alone, and he has to try hard to keep his figure.

He’s Snape’s catamite, and is very aware of his status. It’s a job, despite his feelings for Snape, despite what the world believes; and he must do it well or he’ll be out on the street. But - of course - he loves Snape.

Snape looms over every line of this fic, but even when he appears ‘on screen’ it’s unclear what he feels for Draco. And that works wonderfully: this fic is deep into Draco’s POV, and not only is he unsure of Snape’s feelings, he’s not really concerned with them. He has to focus on pleasing Snape, on being pleasing, for both material and emotional self-protection.

A fic with this premise could be so overblown and melodramatic; instead it’s an elegant, wonderfully characterised snippet of hearbreak.

Snape and Draco by glockgal (Severus/Draco, G.)

IT’S REALLY CUTE. I know Snaco is meant to be the cool ship, you know, with fuckloads of angst and Gothic identity crises and kinky kinky sex. But whatever, I am confessing to my love of Snaco fluff. And this is just so cute and I flail at it and beam at it and OH DRACO’S BLUSH.

It’s a G-rated little comic, with an extremely cute, funny, recognisable Snape and Draco. And totally worth checking out just for Snape’s changing expressions as Draco is SUPER-STEALTHY.

Hi guys! Still buried under a pile of essay - anachronisms and T. H. White, masculinity in Victorian Gothic fiction, they haunt my dreams - but here are the (hopefully) comic drabbles I wrote for the Ron/Draco drabble-a-thon.

Consider them all disclaimed :)
