Fic Spotlight

Title: Ceiling Tiles
Author: inadaze22
Length: 1,055 words
Rating: T
Warnings: Mild Profanity
Summary: Seventy-seven tiles comprise the ceiling; perfect squares that stretch from all four walls.

elektra30's Thoughts: It is an art to express complex emotions and intricate characterisation within just a thousand words. It is even more difficult to do it in second-person POV and pull it off well. This fic is a carefully crafted snapshot of how sometimes we are so caught up in our own perception of a person, that we never realise who they really are and what they truly mean to us all this while. Despite being together physically for such a long time, it is only till this moment that both Hermione and Draco see each other in a raw and emotionally vulnerable light.

Fic Spotlight

Title: All I Want
Author: blue movies
Length: 1,600 words
Rating: K+
Warnings: Character death
Summary: Please excuse the lack of summary - I strongly suggest to read this one before knowing anything about the plot.

dianoram's Thoughts: I have read this one some time ago, and for some reason, out of the sea of oneshots that are consumed in one breath, this one stayed with me.

The entire story is told from Narcissa Malfoy's point of view while she tries to understand what is possibly troubling her young son. It is short and angsty, it is filled with raw emotions and it offers us a rare glimpse into the Malfoy family life on the brink of a new life ahead of them. Whatever else can be said about them, whatever the past mistakes and prejudice that came from their upbringing - they have always loved their son.

In case you are wondering, I am being deliberately vague here. The final revelation and the cause for the story came out of the blue for me - and it could be the reason why I simply couldn't forget this one. I do hope you'll like it.

Title: The Symmetrical Transit
Author: everythursday
Length: 81,221
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: sex, language, mild violence
Summary: He believed the world was screwed up because a lack of balance. Everything in the world had it's equal parts -- love, hate; right, left; sun, moon; drive, laziness -- but no one ever grew up with these parts in the same proportion, which made them off. People were either forced to live discordant, or they were lucky enough to find that balance through someone else.

Editor’s Thoughts: Draco and Hermione are on the run from Death Eaters and Hermione finds herself at his mercy when she emerges wandless from a botched mission. They've got one wand between them, no money, no contacts, no magical means to get home, and one tiny slip of paper that hints at a Horcrux. To put it simply, this is one of my favorite Dramiones of all time. For me, this is one of the créme de la créme as far as characterization goes.

The plot may be an excuse to throw Draco and Hermione together, but it's fast-paced and furious nonetheless. This story will make you laugh, tear up, want to hurl things at the screen, jaw drop at the sheer UST, and then fall off your chair at how blazing hot the sex is. This is how falling in love should be: complicated, beautiful, and heartbreaking. After finishing, I believed that neither of them would ever want to give their heart to anyone else. And isn't that the definition of romance?

Title: The Secret Ingredient
Author: corianderpie
Length: 2,078 words
Rating: MT
Warnings: Strong Profanity, Fluff
Summary: Draco goes the extra mile for love.

elektra30's Thoughts: Usually, I am a sucker for action-packed, emotion-laden stories that delve into character nuances. However, there are times when I just want to indulge in something simple and light, something that makes me go ‘ahh...’ in a very contented way.

This fic whips up the perfect recipe for that: a lighthearted story about Draco and the lengths he will go to for his dear wife, even if it means being stuck in a French kitchen flipping burnt crepes just because of her pregnancy cravings. I especially love the minor original characters who contribute to the merry and heartwarming mood of the story. Not to mention the ending cracks me up, but you’ll have to read it for yourself to know!
