New layout, and a rec.

[capitu]

I changed the layout of my_drarry_recs.

I really love the art I have as a header. It's Autumn by chouette_e @ deviantart (used with permission). And it's gorgeous.

I'm trying it out, because there are a few things I still need to tweak here and there, but I like it. What do you think? :)

I'm very fond of the the old one, and I'm not sure which is best for the comm, so I'd love to hear what you think.


And a rec, because I live for this stuff:

Title: Marked in Indelible Ink by the_minx_17
Rating: NC 17
Pairing: Harry/Scorpius
Word Count: 18,700
Summary: "Shush, pretty," Harry murmurs, nuzzling Scorpius's neck. "You're not allowed to beg tonight."
Warning(s): BDSM lifestyle (see more at the post)
Notes: Stories like this one is what makes me fall in love with a new pairing. Don't let the warnings turn you off or make you think it's story might be too hardcore; it is in a way, but it's not so much about the actions (punishment and discipline), but about how Harry and Scorpius feel about Domination and submission. It's about them as a couple, as Dom/sub, their reactions, and it's incredible; it's erotic, to see Scorpius needs and Harry's desires fulfilled this way. The way they give each other exactly what the other need. And this is the beginning of such relationship, so everything is new; exciting and thrilling, and absolutely brilliant. It's not an overwhelming sort of story at all, but rather the sort of story that leaves you craving for more.

This is the sort of story that makes me what to read new pairings. One that (shockingly) I haven't read much of is Draco/Albus. Anyone have recs for this pairing for me? Not necessarily BDSM fics, just anything that you'd recommend. I'd love to read some.

I love that almost kiss of your new community header. ♥

As for Draco/Albus - I've been reccing this story up and down, and actually think you may have read it: here's my rec for Consequences of Truth by altri_uccelli.

[capitu]

It's lovely, the new header, yeah? I tend to like more clean and simple layouts (like the old one) but I couldn't resist making a layout just to use that art after I had permission.

Thank you so much for this rec, it sounds absolutely lovely. Love your thoughts on it, and I'm definitely reading it. <3

[eidheann_writes]

I was going to recc this and was beaten to it. So consider this a huge endorsement. It is lovely, and I really am not a fan of x-gen.

[capitu]

I'm gonna!

You're no fan of x-gen? Really? I didn't know. ^^

I love cross gen even more than I like next gen and first gen (it all started with Harry/Scorpius). And Pottercest. I love me some Pottercest.

....wait, where're you going? Come back! lol :P

[eidheann_writes]

Yeah. Very few exceptions. It isn't a squick, just not anything I look for.

[capitu]

*nods* Got you.

Pottercest is hard to find. I mean, once in a while I go to ao3 and look, but the searches tend to come the same.

[birdsofshore]

Another endorsement for this incredible story. So much love for it ♥

[capitu]

It's next on my to-read list (that isn't H/D because, omg!!!! saras_girl new fic, you lucky thing you!).

But I am going to! I swear, next on my list. ^^

[birdsofshore]

OMG I NEARLY DIED WHEN I SAW THAT FIC. I still keep having to check it actually says my name on it :DDD

I am saving the last section to read tonight, as a reward for working on my book fair fic.

*scurries back to book fair*

[capitu]

I just started and I'm already in love with Harry all over again. *grins*


Bookfair!Fic! I can't wait to see what you wrote. Of course, I'm not going to know it's you. lol But still! Excited you're so excited and happy with your prompt. <3 That lucky prompter that prompt you to write...

[birdsofshore]

Hee, hee, I just hope the prompter agrees with you when she reads it. :D

Harry in that fic is probably the most loveable I have ever read him!

[capitu]

I know she will. Well, I don't really. LOL But HOW COULD SHE NOT? And who is this person! AHHH! You know! She will though. Everything you write it brilliant, so yeah. I kind of know. :***

[tryslora]

Yes, read Consequences of Truth!

And I've written some Dralbus (because I'm not ashamed to self rec *sighs*). Four fics + 2 arts are here. It should be mentioned that one of those fics comes with some very heavy warnings.

And this is my Dralbus tag on my rec journal, so the posts linked here contain recs for Draco/Albus Severus fics that I've loved.

[capitu]

Self Rec ROCKS. Plus, I know I'm going to love what you've written because I love everything I've read. <3

And as you know, warnings turn me on. I'm not even kidding. :)

Thank you for the recs, and the link to your rec journal. I don't know I missed it. I know where I'm going to be the rest of the week now. ;)

[tryslora]

I hope you do like them. And the warnings are of the sensual dark horror variety. Remembrance is probably the most brutal piece I've written (although the two for the darkarts fest come close).

I hope you like the stuff from my rec journal! I can't remember exactly how many there are, but if I fell in love with it, there must have been a reason (and I may have explained that reason in a vaguely coherent fashion, I hope!). Enjoy!

[eidheann_writes]

Remembrance has been on my to-read list for a *long* time. It scares me, just because I need a certain mindset for that kind of (emotional) pain.

[tryslora]

I have a small set of fics that I honestly don't expect anyone to read, and Remembrance tops that list (above every other death fic I've written).

[capitu]

I'm reading the warnings and *shivers* I can't wait to get my hands into this.

Love the recs! *mems*

[tryslora]

I hope you like it. It really, truly, is pretty brutal (physically and emotionally). Tops the list of fics that I have written that I do not actually expect people to read. But it is also one of my absolute favorites that I have written.

[capitu]

It took me a while of reading fluff and flangst to start reading Dark stuff. I'm always trying to encourage other people to try it because some of the most heart-touching, stunning pieces I've read are dark.

[tryslora]

Dark is HARD. Both to write and to read, but I have to admit, I've been doing both since I was a kid. I teethed on horror and my first short stories I ever wrote were horror (some came straight out of my nightmares and really revolved around some heavy issues of fearing loss). I also went through a phase when I was like... 9... where every book I read had someone dying. The bookmobile ladies were very worried about me, but when my mom asked I just explained that sometimes it feels good to cry. I learned the word catharsis at a very young age. *wry smile*

I love fluff, and I love romance, but I love something that will rip out my heart, and I find those last ones stay with me the longest after I've read them.

[capitu]

I've learned to love the ache that comes with reading heavy angst and dark fic.

I remember I used to hear things like "hurt so good" and for the life of me I couldn't see. lol Now I can, and I don't look back. I honestly believe some of the best pieces I've read are dark or heavy angst, and I want to share that, because, okay, sometimes a person can't, simply can't, deal with that as part of a hobby, but other times you just have to open yourself to that, and it's to those who can and would be willing to dive into I try to reach with recs/comments/etc.

[kitty_fic]

LOVE the new header! <3

[capitu]

I KNOW! Isn't it just beautiful?

Like I said, I tend to like clean & simple layouts, but once I gained permission to use her art I couldn't help making one with the header as the focus. So pretty. <3

[nathalieweasley.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous art :)

And I LOVED Marked in Indelible Ink.

[capitu]

That art is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. *nods*

That story! I'm re reading it right now because God, it's good! I can't wait to find out who wrote it and stalk them good and proper, if I'm not doing it already! Who knows! :D

[birdsofshore]

Oh and the new header is nnnnnnnnngh. Chouette does kisses like nobody else.

[capitu]

It's gorgeous isn't it? I love all her art and manips, but this one art pretty much owns my heart.

[the-minx-17.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reccing the fic! Glad you enjoyed it. :-)

[capitu]

I LOVE that fic. I've re read it three times already, so yeah, you're very welcome, it was my pleasure. :)

[the-minx-17.livejournal.com]

LOL. That's so great to hear! I did put it up at AO3 (http://archiveofourown.org/users/Minxie/pseuds/Minxie) if you, like me, are fond of their download features.

[capitu]

Heading there right now... Because yep, download features are yummy. :D
