Next Gen Fest Rec Post II
Please note the disclaimer about my recs. As well, all previous recs for this fest can be found under my NextGenFest tag.

This weeks recs for the hp_nextgen_fest:



Beside each fic, I give a heart rating. This is just to give you a sense of how much I liked it. I’ll be the first to admit I am a bit arbitrary about my hearts. If a fic is on this list, I REALLY liked it. The hearts just help me express how much.

It goes something like this:
♥ Very Good Read
♥ ♥ Great Read
♥ ♥ ♥ Outstanding Read, don’t miss it
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ One of the best fics I’ve ever read.


Next Gen Fest Rec Post II

No More Than Him♥ ♥
Recipient: finkpishnets
Pairing(s): Scorpius/Rose, Scorpius/Albus, Scorpius/James
Rating: PG
Warnings: Angst
Summary: Love doesn't easily reveal itself to Scorpius.
Word Count: 5,939
I really enjoyed Scorpius's journey in this fic. It was interesting to see how he dealt with each love-interest in turn. I actually read it without noticing the pairings lists, which I think made for a better read. So if you haven't looked already, don't peek. :)

Of Tea and Mud♥
Recipient: okydoky
Pairing(s): Albus Severus/Scorpius
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Boys kissing, different POVs
Summary: Albus Potter had to be the most obsessively clean person that Scorpius had ever met.
Word Count: ~ 5000
The format of this fic is very interesting. I like the feel of the differing points of view. A funny and sweet fic.

The Eye of the Beholder ♥
Recipient: abusing_sarcasm
Pairing(s): Albus/Scorpius/Rose, AS/S, various other pairings
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Threesome, slash, het, voyeurism, circle jerk, underage (mostly 17, mentions younger pairings), rimming, tiny mention of spanking, masturbation (male and female)
Summary: Rose discovers that she likes to watch but watching Albus and Scorpius leads to her wanting more.
Word Count: 12,269
This fic has a voyeur Rose, who becomes more and more obsessed with Albus and Scorpius and their sex-capades. But for a pervy PWP, it made my heart ache. It presented voyeurism not as simply a kink, but as a type of isolation. Rose is constantly watching and wishing and longing, and in the end willing to 'do anything' to be a part of the pleasure she is seeing.

All the Magic in the World ♥ ♥
Recipient: hp_nextgen_fest
Pairing(s): Albus Severus/Scorpius
Rating: PG-13 (there may be some swearing?)
Warnings: Magical illness, and that's all really.
Summary: Scorpius has been sick all of his life, and his health takes a downward spiral just in time for him to fall in love.
Word Count: ~8000
A lovely, heart-warming/heart-wrenching tale of young love and impossible odds. Scorpius was resigned to his fate and distancing himself from attachments, until he becomes friends with a very persuasive Albus Potter. I won't spoil how it ends in the rec, but if you need to know, PM me.
