Rectober Recs.

Continuing with birdsofshore's Rectober Celebration this time art I bring you, beautiful, sexy, lovely H/D Fanart:

Title: Trust by iwao
Rating: NC 17 Not Safe For Work!
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Notes: Have you not seen this yet? Seriously? Have you not? Then you must, it's exquisite! It's not just smoking hot, and oh, my, God, it is, but it's gorgeous. The shading, the way their bodies are drawn, so expressive and sensual. I've stared at this piece for ages, taking in details, their hands, Draco's hands are so lovely. You know how fics describe Draco having beautiful hands? These are the hands all those stories are talking about. And then there are all those other things; the pose, the way Harry's body is leaning back against Draco, their chests. Yeah, I could talk about this piece forever, and trust me, I will! But just go and see it, and if you have, go and see it again. :D

Title: Be My Angel by mayfly_78
Rating: PG 13
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Notes: I love Mayfly's style, the way her art is so colourful and detailed, and you really can appreciate that in this piece. Here we have Draco as a Veela, an Angel I should say with Harry (naked!) kneeling in front of him. The wings are stunning, I loved how she drew Draco's face, too, it gives the impression he's simple there allowing himself to be loved, but there's also an air of melancholy about him, you know? I'm crazy like that, I see things. ^^

Title: Asleep by faire_weather
Rating: R (Unsafish for work?)
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Notes: This art is a moment, both Harry and Draco asleep in each other's arms. It's beautiful, the colour and their bodies, actually, the colouring of their bodies is amazing, their hair, omg, Harry's eyebrows! :D It's peaceful and beautiful.

Never forget to leave some love to the authors! ♥


ETA: Waiiiit, don't go! I just saw writcraft's epistolary comment meme! FUN.

Rectober moar

It's just that this art and poetry just got posted at hd_fan_fair and it's fantastic!

Title: Potter's Poetry by phoenixacid & writcraft @ hd_fan_fair
Rating: PG
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Summary: After finding himself on the receiving end of the infamous Sonnets of a Sorcerer curse, Harry Potter decided to draw on his experiences and produce ‘Potter’s Poetry’, a selection of poems which have absolutely no discernible theme which ties them together. Click on the link provided below to view an exclusive excerpt of 'Potter's Poetry' courtesy of D.A. Malfoy Publishing. To purchase the full copy, send us a mail order by owl, or visit Flourish and Blotts or any other Wizarding bookstores near you!
Notes: This probably the coolest thing ever done. It's a little poetry book written by Harry Potter, with the most hilarious, darling, deliciously witty marginal notes written by Draco, who also published. Everything is brilliant; the notes, the drawing in the books, the poem titles, the poetry!, the reviews, the very book order. It's just… wow. Go check it out.
