Summary: Draco is assigned to Potter Watch: to protect Harry from his most dedicated fans. Draco excels at his job. Unfortunately, Harry excels at being Harry.


This is such a fun story.

In this fic Harry is super famous. And I mean really famous. As in hordes of people are obsessed with him, and has worldwide fanclubs, and there are Harry Potter action figures (In all sorts of outfits and anatomically complete!), and his own themed magazine "Stag".

Kind of like in real life.

But this Harry uses his fame for noble causes, such as Wigeons and their endangered lifestyles.

So of course he needs protection, and Draco is the man for the job.

That has to tell you how much fun this is, and I haven't even started on Draco's own level of obsession. You'll discover that on your own.

Summary: The War of the Fire, as it was for Harry and Draco.
Warning(s): Sex, violence, pure-blood racism, scenes of minor character death. Angsty. Non-linear and unusual viewpoints.


This was the first story I read by this author, and I remember thinking how inventive and original it was. Of course, then I discovered the rest of her stories and I realised that inventive and original it's her thing.

This is a War Fic. But not a Voldemort fic. After the second war is over, Lucius awakens this entity, of sorts, called The Fire, which consumes everything and claims him, Lucius. And so The War of the Fire begins.

Draco is Harry's spy, and their relationship is very complex. They are fighting an enemy that has no body, and as Draco is second in command, the moment the Fire finally finishes consuming Lucius it will claim him next, so they are not just fighting the Fire, they are also fighting time.

This story, compared to some of this author's better-known fics, is a bit more quickly paced. I liked because there's this balance, as we learn about the nature of The Fire, we also learn about the nature of Harry and Draco's relationship. It's still one of my favourites stories by this writer.
