Why, you might ask, am I reccing @bonesliketambourines' fics this week in particular? There’s a simple answer to that one – for me, after last year, the month of October belongs to her. Her Kinktober 2020 collection – totalling over 84,000 words! – is an absolute masterpiece; every single fic telling a perfect, complete story, and all between 1-7k. And yes, they’re kinky, and yes, they’re incredibly hot, but they’re also sweet, and tender, and loving, and just so perfectly on point time after time. And her longer fics are equally impressive. And she’s responsible for one of my favourite drabbles of all time. So what could I do except make a m0stlyvoid October reclist? Oh, and don’t worry, I made sure to revisit every single fic on her AO3 on the way. I had to, really, just to make sure I hadn’t forgotten any. You’re all very welcome 😉

in charge – E, 2.4k, hot AF PWP feat spoiled bossy power-bottom Draco and beefy Harry
Turns out that extends to the bedroom, too.
i demand to dig my own grave – M, 21k, hilarious, neat, twisty fic feat fake-Seer Draco and long-suffering Auror Harry
Summary: Draco finds himself in hot water with the Aurors, and in a burst of panicked inspiration manages to wiggle out of it by claiming to be a Seer. There's just one little problem– Senior Auror Harry Potter, the Prat Who Lived, who's known him for a decade, knows full well Draco doesn't have a single psychic bone in his body and seems determined to pull him up for it. Now, the Department is demanding he help them solve cases, Potter's looming over his shoulder at every turn, and worst of all, he hasn't had a shag in weeks because of all this bother. What's a pseudo-Seer to do?
push and pull you down – E, 5k, hot, naughty playboy Draco meets disenchanted Auror Harry
Summary: Harry's resigned himself to petty, inconsequential cases and no real connection to his job at the Auror department—after all, what else would he be doing with his time? He's not happy, not really, but that hardly matters. A chance encounter with a mostly-naked Draco Malfoy exposes him to an entirely different world, one much more colourful than the lonely one he currently occupies—but at what cost?
i just want your extra time and your… – E, 9k, sweet and funny getting together fic where Harry has… revelations following a library incident
Summary: Ron should know better than to speak Latin in a magical library. If he’d just left well enough alone, instead of trying to badger Malfoy for the details of his newest novel, Harry wouldn’t have to listen to all of this chatter about how bloody decent Malfoy is, and he wouldn’t be dealing with all of these...feelings.
Really, it’s all Ron’s fault that Harry’s mind is stuck on Malfoy like this again.
plasticine porters with looking-glass ties – E, 15k, a lab mishap leads to a stunningly described potions-enhanced Drarry first time
Summary: Lately, Harry thinks things don’t seem the same between him and Draco. His head is in the clouds when he thinks about what their relationship is now, and where it might be headed—he’s happy with their friendship, but he wants something else. A potions accident over a lunchtime visit to Draco’s lab (what does he get up to in there, anyway?) changes things, though, and accelerates their relationship faster than either of them had ever expected. How are they going to get through this new development together?
