via a comment on the latest update for Dear Enemy:

“OMFG is it possible that Harry has finally managed to remove his head from his arse and thereby make room for Draco's manly wand?”

This is a fic that I have read multiple times and I absolutely love it. It take the popular Asexual saying “I’d rather have cake than sex” to a new level and I can’t get enough of it.

Draco Malfoy: Toilet Supremo

Read Here x

Author:  who_la_hoop

Summary: “It must be a vision brought on by eating cheese sarnies too close to bedtime, Harry thinks. There's no way that Draco Malfoy can really be standing on his doorstep, calling himself a Toilet Supremo, and expecting Harry to buy not only this unlikeliest of scenarios, but also a new loo.But no: Harry's eyes do not deceive him. Malfoy, Lord of Toilets, is really there. Which begs a very important question: what the hell is he up to, and what evil scheme is he about to unleash? Because there must be an evil scheme . . . mustn't there?”

Review: This fic sounds totally ridiculous, but it’s honestly great. Super cute and funny, I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would! I read this in class and I almost laughed out loud. I haven’t been in to super serious depressing angsty fics lately, so this was perfect.

Quote: 

“You’re not laughing, are you, Potter?” Malfoy said – shouted – down, with unshakeable dignity.

“No, no – just, er, coughing,” Harry said indistinctly. “Will you show me how it flushes? And,” he added, improvising wildly, “which way does the water swirl down the pan? I hear it’s different in Australia.”

And an Owl Named Romeo by Rickey

This fic was really cute. This fic revolves around an owl named Romeo just like the title suggests and this owl doesn't only have his own personality, drink alcohol, or peck at people until they do what he wants, but also forcibly creates a sort of common interest between Draco and Harry.

This fic was very fast pace and followed the books/movies to the final battle. The only difference was that this was set as a soul mate AU.

This fic was honestly really cute, but with a bit of smut. I liked how Teddy was actively in the life of both Harry and Draco and I love fics with children in them because they’re always so cute. I wasn’t a huge fan of how quickly they got together. One moment they were fighting and the next they were entering a long term relationship.

HPDM / fanfiction review

These are my thoughts and opinions. You can have your own. Spoilers ahead.

In Pieces  by Cheryl Dyson.

Summary: Harry returns to Hogwarts as the new DADA instructor, only to find his teaching efforts thwarted by a very familiar ghost. This fic contains mature content and the necessity of one of our boys not being alive. Exactly. *grin* Status: complete, chapters: 22, words: 87,946, rating: M. 

When I started reading this, I wasn't sure where this was going. Was Harry going to die so he would be able to be with Draco as a ghost? Were they going to find a cure? Was Draco going to pass on? 

It was fun to read Draco being a total git in the beginning. Just like I would imagine him to be in that situation. And Harry just wanting to get rid of him, starting to read books about ghosts and in the meantime both of the boys falling for one another. 

The trick is that Narcissa had preserved Draco's body with a Stasis spell and the could haves and what ifs were maddening. Could they somehow bring Draco back? The spell they had read about needed someone to sacrifice himself/herself in order it to work. 

At the same time Ron was in a bad shape, could they accept Ron's sacrifice in order to bring Draco back? And Draco's answer to that actually surprised me. It showed his true colors. And Narcissa wanting to sacrifice herself so that his boy could live once more. 

Harry also finds a potion to make Draco corporeal which just makes him fall more in love with him. Harry's need for a real relationship with Draco and at the same time knowing that he should move on is heartbreaking. Also, thinking that is it really good for Draco to take that potion so he can touch things again and feel more real or would it actually be better for Draco to get used to being dead and accept his own death? And Draco wanting to come back alive, touch things, eat again, give true love for Harry and also knowing the bittersweet truth that what they have can never be enough and that he should be strong enough to leave Harry so that Harry could keep living his life among people who are still alive.

There was a lot of beauty in this story. It's not overly saddening, I didn't even cry!  :D And the boys bantering back and forth was comforting.
