summary: ‘Potter… It’s Malfoy. Do you still want this?’
It started like that. Malfoy’s breath on his ear, his voice low, hot against his skin. Harry shivered, though he could feel the heat from Malfoy’s body just behind him, too close, but not touching him. Even if he could. For the rest of the night, he could do whatever the hell he wanted with Harry.

rec notes: ok. a) I know I suck bc its been 3 months since our (ren's) last rec but I come here with a new (commissioned!) hp icon; b) I know that the tags make this fic look WILD. because it is. I like that shit ok but u should know that by now considering some of the things I've recced before.

but anyway. I don't have a lot to say that the tags don't already say, except that I will be a hoe for BDSM fics for any of my OTPs and when I find The bdsm fic of the ship, I latch onto it and it automatically becomes one of my favorites. because BDSM can be hard to write well, but when it's written well it's phenomenal, because it's not just sexy; it goes into the psyche of the characters' role in the BDSM and makes it a delight because of the dynamic and tension, not just the sex.

although the sex is pretty great.

anyway. this is That fic for me for Draco/Harry. so if u like that shit too and u haven't read this yet... pls do. (and also if u have recs for other drarry bdsm fics w a similar dynamic lmk)

summary: The only reason Zacharias was going back to Hogwarts was because Anthony Goldstein had Owled him that he would, that McGonagall had told him that they were going to have Quidditch for the next year, and that Ravenclaw was going to beat Hufflepuff for the Quidditch Cup.

rec notes: With apologies to my co-mod, who wrote this, but the time has come to embarrass you. This is one of those fics I've read over and over again, and not just because it was a gift for me. It's one of those gems that hits all the right notes that a getting together fic ought to: all the beats of establishing the friendship, subtly putting it into "what are we" territory, and building to crisis point. There's Quidditch and rivalry and banter, there's a kiss that's both sweet and funny and a little frustrating, and it's eighth year, so honestly what more could you want? Even if you're not usually minor character oriented, I would heartily recommend diving in and giving it a read, for something short, satisfying, and perfectly formed.

summary: The most fun I've ever had with a weird friendship dynamic, terrible and pretentious attitudes, and various mistakes

wordcount: 55k

rec notes: This is a series of 7 fics of varying lengths, so it's easy to dip in and out of reading them if you're not looking for something long. Each of these fics looks at the Terry/Michael/Anthony friendship from a different angle, chronicling their adventures from their first year of Hogwarts to well after the war. It's funny at times, genuinely very sad at others, consistently well-written and packed with emotion. What's really impressive about this series is the wealth of headcanon for these three minor characters. I thoroughly recommend diving in.
