Doll by captainraychill - NC-17
Summary: “I’d adored my doll at first sight because, though she appeared to be pure, she was really a creature of sex. Her lips were plump and painted to appear wet. Her eyes were corrupt beneath her lush lashes. Her steady, sober gaze told me that she knew her only purpose was to be used by me and that she had accepted this.”

The story has accompanying art: Doll (G).

Time After Time by ningloreth - NC-17
Summary: Hermione’s sent back in time to change history by preventing Draco from fixing the Vanishing Cabinet.

Characters: Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley, Charlie Weasley, OMC, OFC
Summary:

Who ever thought that it'd be a good idea to have Malfoy and Granger work together? So far, there's been three requests for a transfer, two broken back-up wands, a gross-inflated hospital bill for a 'mauling by half-Kneazle', and one exceptionally fine pair of Dragonhide boots set on fire.

I'm also sneaking in a feed rec. daily_otter_feed for all your otter needs! THE LITTLE MUZZLES! THE WHISKERS! THE CUTENESS IS NOT TO BE DENIED! FUZZY OTTER TUMMIES! (Relevant because Hermione's Patronus is an otter. Yes, it's a stretch, but I so will make it work! ADORABLE OTTERS!)

So, browsing around the internet like one does, I find myself window-shopping for events that I'd love to see over in Dramione fandom! fandomcalendar and bigbangindex are great for fannish window-shopping, and here are some cool events that I'd love to see for our ship.

A Reverse Big Bang - Working off a piece of art, authors write a story of 10,000/20,000 words or more.

A Career Fair Fest - like the Harry/Draco Career Fair, where the theme is that the characters have to have unusual careers. No Aurors, Unspeakables, Potion Masters, etc, but instead things like lion tamers, bakers, etc. I love the suggestion in the H/D Career Fair banner: health inspector and pastry chef! :D

Fairy Tale/Myth/Folkhlore-themed Big Bangs - I've seen these more in Supernatural fandom, but I think they're neat ideas.

What are some types of events that you'd like to see?

Totally awesome story that just popped up at AO3 for Smutty Claus 2011. I give it the highest of recs!

It's Epilogue-compliant and older!Draco/Hermione, and I know that there are people out there who really like those two categories! :D

edit - Oh, and also this fic has virgin!Draco :D
