fic rec!

[eleanorjane]

I have been jonesing for good HP longfic lately, in something of a nostalgia kick, and I do have a particular fondness for H/D.

I saw this linked on Tumblr and lost three hours of my life last night as I ripped through this when I should have been sleeping for work because I couldn't stop reading:

What We Pretend We Can't See (131279 words) by gyzym
Chapters: 14/14
Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter, Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom/Ginny Weasley
Summary:

Seven years out from the war, Harry learns the hard truth of old history: it’s never quite as far behind you as you thought.

I didn't know people were still writing HP fic like this. I'm so happy. ♥

(recs for anything else in this vein gratefully appreciated; I've reread Transfigurations and the collected works of Blamebrampton a ridiculous number of times at this point and would love something new.)

Femme! she writes some classic HP as well. Just discovered she's been posting stuff recently!

Woo! Thankyou :)

I've read her stuff, of course -- who hasn't?! -- but in my head she's SGA through and through because that's where I encountered her work. I should go trawl through her stuff again. :)

Thanks for the H/D rec. It's always a thrill to find new fic in old fandoms. Especially one with such a high word count. :)

It's lovely, isn't it? I squeaked so happily when I saw that. :)

I know this happy nostalgic feeling!! :) I haven't read gyzym's fic yet, but have lately very much enjoyed these long H/D fics:

Written on the Heart by who_la_hoop (8th year fic in which Harry ends up having to live in Slytherin)

All Our Secrets Laid Bare by firethesound (Draco's auror partners keep dying, so Harry is assigned as his partner to look into it)

Stately Homes of Wiltshire by waspabi (Harry is sent to investigate poltergeists in Malfoy Manor)

[eleanorjane]

Wooo, thankyou for the recs! \o/

I love that everyone else seems to be on the H/D longfic train lately as well :)
