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.
