A Lack of Color

Summary: In his fourth year, Harry falls for fellow Hogwarts student and Triwizard champion, Cedric Diggory

Pairing: Harry/Cedric
Location: Fanfiction.net (here)
Rating: PG-M
Length: 146K
Time Period: Hogwarts/GoF
Status: Complete

I have read this fic over and over again, and after a quick reread, I can hardly believe how good it makes me feel. It's so light, the relationship between Cedric and Harry, and beakanoma does an amazing job of keeping it intense, but letting the romance and sweetness through in all the right places. And Cedric is so... so perfect, and loving, and Hufflepuff. I know, my review sounds terribly fluffy, but it isn't. If you are expecting a story of angst and pain and obsession and drama, this isn't it. But if you want to read about a relationship, a bond between these two characters, you are in for a treat!

**Part Two in this series, "Sound of the Revolution," is currently In-Progress and can be found (here)!

Bloody But Unbowed

Summary: Nothing in Harry’s life since the war has gone the way he expected. And now he’s the mediwizard assigned to take care of Lucius Malfoy, of all people. But he’s Harry; he grits his teeth and endures. He won’t allow even Draco Malfoy’s flirting, which he knows is just a joke, to disconcert him.
Pairing: Harry/Draco

Rating: R/M, nothing extreme
Length: 104K
Time Period: Post War, EWE

I just finished this story for the third time so I had to post it here! Bloody But Unbowed by Lomonaaeren is beautiful, and not for the smut. Writing a fic with so much background, so much supplementary information that needed to be crafted to fit perfectly could not have been an easy task--certainly not something a lot of people attempt. But the depth Lomonaaeren gave to Mediwizardry and Healing takes on a new level, and the trust we build in the characters just as Harry builds it in this story is remarkable.

**Note, no Smut or Goodness ratings for this blog. If I'm posting it, it's good. If I elaborate to ridiculous extents, just go by all the text!
