Recs and stuff

[nia_kantorka]

The original plan was that I'd be at the movies right now and watch the Barbican Hamlet performance with a friend. Well, a nasty tonsilitis came my way and knocked me flat into bed. My darling candamira is watching the play now with one of her besties (can you believe that my friend fell ill with a sinusitis too?). For her it's even more sad because she hadn't seen it on stage.

Back to my throat which was hurting like a bitch from Friday night on (great timing at the beginning of the weekend). I survived, but even numbing pills, sprays and gargle solutions could only do so much. Today I saw my physician and she prescribed the antibiotics without a fuss and now, two happy pills later, the penicillin is starting to work. Slowly, but I don't feel anymore as if someone were scrubing my gums raw while covering it all in slime. Urgh. I remember only two other times with that bad of throat ache and it was due to the same kind of bacteria (streptococci, those nasty things).
Okay, I'll stop whining now because it's getting better, I'm on sick leave this week and can use this time to get rid of all the germs in my system, and good things happened too.

Yes, I got a lovely present and some lovely art for my prompt.

The fic

Title: A little white lie
Author/Artist: I'm sorry, but I can't tell. It's an entry from the still ongoing excellent hp_nextgen_fest
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing(s) Scorpius Malfoy/Hugo Weasley
Rating: NR-17
Word Count: 45,301
Warnings/Tags: Explicit Language, Pining, Sexual Content

Summary: Scorpius Malfoy didn’t actually mean to send his distinguished grandfather to St. Mungo’s with his tiny white lie. Er... no, not primarily anyway. But between that foul act and having his Quidditch World Cup tickets revoked, there’s room for a slightly insane redheaded hero, who could save the day... if only Scorpius dare ask it of him.

Why I loved it: This is the most wonderful story ever. It's ridiculously funny, hot and sexy, heartwarming and sweet, and with a lot of feels on the way. Scorpious is shy and in love with Hugo, but his Malfoy-ish ways are more of a cover because his thoughts, my goodness his thouhts, are the ones of a hot, bursting teenager and it's wonderful to see how he makes a fool of himself and yet, he manages to get the important things right. And Hugo. If I didn't know better, I'd say the author took a look into my brain and extracted everything I love about Hugo. He's charming, smart, a wonderful mixture of a slut and waiting for his true love and even calm infront of two fathers who are both furious at that time. I think one can't help themselves, everybody must fall for him while reading. Yeah, there is more. Lovely dreams with music, kissing in the snow, use/misuse of Wheezes products and...everything else you have to read for yourself. Go, and read it. This story is a treat.

The art

Title: Draco/Al
Artist: shiftylinguini
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing(s): Draco Malfoy/Albus Severus Potter
Medium: Pencil
Rating: Nr-17
Warnings/Tags: Big stonking age difference, nudity, sex

Summary: Chair smut.

Why I loved it: I mean, look at it. Of course I love it. They look stunning, and there is so much to love about this picture. Their hands, Draco's around Al's waist, Al's in Draco's hair, their blissful expressions, their knees (I get wobbly knees myself looking at the knees), Al's perfect bum, the yummy parts we can see from Draco's privates which makes me yearn for more. And don't forget the details of that chair, aka its seams. An utterly wonderful picture. Oh, and I highly recommend to take a look at it's counterpart Harry/Scorpius as well. It's not explicit, but as beautiful as this one.

I wanted to rec some music as well, but am too tired now. Let's hope I didn't make too many mistakes in this post - there is a correlation between feeling bad and me violating languages in written form.

Hope you have all a good day/night!

Oh my gosh, I hope you feel better!

[nia_kantorka]

Thank you, hon!
Actually, I do. My throat is only slightly burning now. I think it'll progress with more Penicillin. Thanks to all deities for Alexander Fleming's drive to research. :)

[gracerene]

Ohh, I'm sorry your not feeling well, hon! I hope you get better soon! <33

[nia_kantorka]

Thanks a lot, hon!
I'm on my way. Slowly, but there's light at the end of the tunnel. :)

Ouch, poor you, I hope you'll be OK soon, you poor thing! Damn those infections, they are one of the reasons I'm not too fond of Autumn; someone in the family always gets ill and if it's kids, they're so poor and... well, calm (and I'm not used to my babies being all non-monstrous and helpless, LOL!) and if it's the BF, he turns into this world's most whiny harpy, already selecting his coffin and wanting me to play momma/house elf. Bleh. And most of the time he has a little more than a common cold!
But you have something that's painful and dammit, it stopped you from having fun tonight - and I know how rare that is when you're a parent! Are those things catchy? I'll keep my fingers crossed that your girl doesn't get it! *sends a special Snape-o-med potion over*
This year's next-gen is gorgeous, I think everyone's got their favourite (or several!) - I totally fell for the one called Hot chocolate (sexiest Hugo/Draco ever!) and I've yet to read tonight's entries. Most of the time indulging in the next-gen is the highlight of my day and I think the BF is beginning to feel a bit lonely! :D
Oh, that shiftylinguini's art is sexy as hell! She just found such a cool pose, not everything revealed, just the way I like it and Al really seems into it... guh! It's great! :)
Ok, run off to getting better and I'm off to read today's next-gen, yey!

[nia_kantorka]

Thank you, sweetheart!
It wasn't our brighest idea to throw a party with an ongoing cold and lots of small kids around (there are streptoccoci in our nursery school too). Well, lesson learned. At least I can work at my Holmestice, think about Christmas presents and a lot of other things AND nap in the middle of the day. Without the pain I'd feel like being on holiday. See, it severs a purpose - it keeps me grounded. :)

Ah yes, nextgen is definitely brightening my afternoons/evenings at the moment. :D

They are wonderfully on their chair, lost in their coupling, being sexy like hell. <3

[germankitty]

Get well soon! *hugs*

[nia_kantorka]

Thank you, my friend! I'll do my best. :)

[shiftylinguini.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry you're ill! I hope you get better soon.

ahhh, your summary of 'A Little White Lie' is so perfect - I've just finished it and what a gorgeous brilliant piece. I want to roll around in it for hours!

<3

[nia_kantorka]

Thank you, lovely! I'm on my way. :)

Haha, me too! Will do this every once in a while from now on. It's just so wonderful, and I love the author's special style of bringing the reader into the MC's head.

[nia_kantorka]

Thank you, deary!

Hope you're doing okay, roasted laptop notwithstanding. *hugs*

[candamira.livejournal.com]

We already talked, so just a quick drive by to say I miss you. Looking forward to having coffee and catching up sometime this week! ♥

[nia_kantorka]

Thank you, hon! And, tbh, I miss you too. It feels like ages that we last talked over a good coffee.
It's better again this morning. I better go an comment on your story than procrastinate on LJ though. *hugs*
