Dude, I totally thought of that cannibalism (vore) prompt after catching Hannibal Rising on TV late one night, lol.

I'll always love Draco/Draco, although that prompt reminds me too much of what I wrote for kinkfest, with the Mirror of Erised instead of the Room of Requirement (although I included a regular mirror, too).

Speaking of mirrors, have you read Glass House by paranthelion? It's a re-telling of Snow White and it's got a very interesting twist on the whole Mirror of Erised concept, with the Malfoy family version of the Mirror:

“Think of it as the evil twin of the mirror you know,” Draco said, studying her carefully. She couldn’t seem to meet his eyes. He wondered what she could have seen. “It shows your deepest, darkest desire. The thing you want, but don’t want to want.”

Holy accidental revelation-time, Batman! :P Also, it is an utterly excellent, clever, funny fic. With at least two unusual mirrors, now that I think about it. Oh, and Grouch Painting!Abraxas. :D

I have bookmarked it. Definitely looking forward to Grouchy Painting!Abraxas!
