Summary: After Draco is paralyzed in an accident, he and Harry discover a new way to make love.
Warning(s): Watersports (but please read more about this warning on the author's note).


I cannot believe I haven't recced this story before, because it's one of my absolute favourite fics in the whole world.

It's not only hot as hell, it's so emotional and intense as well.

After a one-night stand, which Harry believed to be more, Draco reveals he's getting married. Harry never quite forgot his night with Draco, but life went on. Then one day Draco has an accident, which Harry witnessed, and Draco's wife and unborn child died. Draco after seeing Harry there blames him, and that's when Harry truly decided to move on with his life.

But a while after Draco sends Harry an Owl asking him to meet, just to talk. Harry agrees and discovers he was never past Draco as he thought. From then on they discover together new ways to be together, to love and make love.

This is such a superficial description of such an amazing story. If you're squicked by watersports or think you are, I assure this story is nothing like you're thinking, it will surprise you in its tenderness and how insanely hot it is. This author even admitted this might be the hottest thing she ever wrote, and if you know her you know what she means.

It's a pleasure to read in every way.

Thanks for the rec. Even though watersports is not my kink, I'm curious to know what frayach did with it. So far I've read her "Love, Like Hate, Knows Many Guises" and "Take What's Left Of Me". Both fics were beyond brilliant even though they both deal with genres I'm usually not so fond of (ageplay and mpreg). Especially the latter is one of my most time favorite fics because it has so much lovely squeeworthy hurt!H in it.

[capitu]

This fic is amazing. You'll see.

And if you liked those fics, I think you'll enjoy On the Couch and “I’d Rather Change Nappies Than Have My Cock Sucked” and Other Ravings of a Pregnant Wizard. These are another two of my all time favourites by frayach, actually all time faves, period. You shold read them and have your own Frayach Fest today.

[reijamira]

I saved everything to my must read folder. I really hope I will come to enjoy these as much as the two fics I've already read. :) We'll see.

[capitu]

I hope so too. They are really good. :)

Oh god, On The Couch killed me almost as much as The Price We Pay For Wings.

No one can do "I know this is going to hurt but I can't stop reading" quite like Frayach.

[reijamira]

I'm halfway through "On The Couch". I must say it's really original using an OC's first person point of view. I've never thought it would work, but strangely it does and pretty well so. I'm getting more and more excited the more I read. I think Frayach has quite a talent making me like things I thought I would never enjoy. :D

[eidheann_writes]

In some ways, I think that sums her up perfectly.

(though the reverse, she tends to fall rather flat for me on the stuff that is more... mainstream I guess? It's like the fewer the warning labels, the less heart she puts into it.)

^^^ No one can do "I know this is going to hurt but I can't stop reading" quite like Frayach. ^^^

EXACTLY! She is brilliant. Sad that she is taking a break from the fandom, but completely understand her need to explore other avenues.

[capitu]

She is. I miss her and her writing. I hope QaF knows how amazing she is and how lucky they are.

[reijamira]

She writes for QaF fandom? I might stalk her then. :D

[capitu]

She does! Her QaF stuff is at queerasfray.

[reijamira]

Lol thank you, you are my rec sunshine! ^^

Well, I left it to chance which of the three fics I would read first. It was "On The Couch".

Oh man, what a ride! I wouldn't have believed it if you had told me I could like a fic that is entirely told from an OC's point of view. But, OMG, it was amazing! So intense and thrilling! And the characterisations were superb!

[capitu]

That's story surprise you because of it, yeah? I mean, from a third party perspective, yet there's absolutely nothing lacking in emotions and descriptions and characterisations.

And there's the whole intensity between Harry and Draco that is always there. Yeah. It's pretty amazing. :D I'm so happy you liked it!

[reijamira]

Yes to everything! Amazing fanfic! I love Draco and Harry's characterisations, but I also loved Nick!

[reijamira]

I've just finished "I’d Rather Change Nappies Than Have My Cock Sucked and Other Ravings of a Pregnant Wizard". Even though I liked "Take What's Left Of Me" a bit more, because it was more Harry centred and I prefer those fics, it still was awesome. I liked the angst. I guess the way Draco feels here is similar to what a lot of women feel. I could sympathise.

But I also felt very sorry for Harry, for the way Draco neglected him and didn't trust him of being capable to properly care for his child.

ETA: Sorry for the edit, had to correct a few typos. I just can't live with them most of the time.

[capitu]

I have noticed you favour stories Harry centred *nods* and even though this fic was from Draco's pov rather I thought you'd like it. It's very angsty and intense and hot and a million things that I know you also love.

Don't worry for the edits! I go editing my posts all the time. lol *hugs*

[reijamira]

It definitely was to my taste! I adored the bits of emotionally!hurt!Harry and worried!Harry. :) I can't exactly tell you why I love hurt!Harry so much more than hurt!Draco.

Hurt!Draco doesn't nearly provoke the reaction in me hurt!Harry would do. I guess it stems from the fact that Harry is my most favorite character, and I like seeing Draco in the comforter role because I often picture him to be a proud little prick, who would not easily admit to himself that he loves Harry.

On seeing Harry injured or hurt, I want to see Draco's veneer crack, want to see how much he cares. And last but not least, Harry deserves a little bit of comforting after all he's been through.

Well, while I'm at it, I like it even more when Harry is a bit reluctant in accepting the comfort, when he tries to hide his injuries or plays it down as being "nothing at all", "just a scratch", "I'm fine". :D And then later on because he's not fine at all, of course, he needs really help and that's when Draco cares for him. :)

[capitu]

Harry always evokes all sorts of tender feelings of me, too. He's also my favourite character, so when he's hurt and someone is taking care of him it's just lovely.


Have you read A Secret History? It's the most beautiful Hurt!Harry story ever. Though he's hurt in a mentally and psychological manner. And Draco is so protective of him, but not on this mushy gushy sort of way. It's lovely and I think it's right up your alley.

Also Landslide has a hurt!Harry, in a more physical way and he's all "I'm fine", too. And Draco cares for him. It's beautiful, too. Also Unkissed Kisses and Songs Never Sung. This one has hurt (and bleeding) Harry. And it's beautiful, too. :D

[reijamira]

Oh, oh, ohhhh! You've wracked your awesome brain library and came up with more fics for me to read and enjoy! OH! And these are all hurt!Harry fics. *dances* Thank you, thank you, thank you for each of these! I hope I can start reading the first one tonight. :) I'm so excited!

(Btw, I adore fics to pieces even when there is just a little, tiny scene of hurt!H in it. "Coffee, Cakes and Doorknob Snakes" by omi_ohmy comes to mind. There is just this little scene (and it really is barely a page long) in which Harry gets hurt and Draco rushes to his side to help him. lol Very satisfying!)

[capitu]

I forgot though Unkissed kisses if all from Draco's POV. But it's all about hurt!harry. *nods*

I hope you like them! I'll think of more hurt!Harry, even little scenes. lol You know me, ~ninja reccer~

[reijamira]

I've read everything. :D

They were all awesome and had such a beautiful hurt!Harry in it! And a caring Draco, who was incredible.

"Unkissed Kisses and Songs Never Sung" brought tears to my eyes. So sorry for Harry, but so glad he had Draco with him and Draco was so very devoted here.

"A Secret History": OMG how terrible! How utterly terrible! I had so much hate for Arthur here. GUHHHH But Draco was awesome. I love it when he cares for Harry in a Draco-ish way.

"Landslide" was beautiful! I love how they were both caring for Teddy and each other.

Thanks for these recs! I had such a great time reading them!

[capitu]

:D:D:D

I'm so glad you enjoyed those. They are some of my favourite fics as well. I loved them all dearly.

Landslide has such beautiful prose, yeah? That sort of writing is amazing. Unkissed kisses is just lovely, sexy, sad and hopeful all aroudnd. And A Secret History, that was love at first sight with me. One of the first H/D fics I read and it still is. One of my forever re read stories. <3

[reijamira]

I've finally read this fic. OMG! That threesome scene totally deserves this:





It was amazing! I loved that it was much more than a kink fic. It was very profound and there was so much caring! I loved it!

[capitu]

lol! OH YEAH. That fic is hot like you hear about it. But then, it's so much more than just a hot story, isn't it? Definitely one of my favourites by frayach. And all she does is amazing.

[reijamira]

I guess I have to read all of her fics. "Come For Me" was the fifth I read. All except one have been rec'ed by you. :D

[capitu]

Oh yes, you have to! Have you read Plums yet? That's hardcore, but she has a way to write stuff you'd think as squicks and make them omghothowcanthisbe??? :D

[reijamira]

Nope, I haven't. I have read (in that order):

Love, Like Hate, Knows Many Guises (This is the one that wasn't rec'ed by you).

Take What's Left Of Me (My most favorite so far. :D)

On The Couch (So wonderful, with an interesting perspective.)

I’d Rather Change Nappies Than Have My Cock Sucked and Other Ravings of a Pregnant Wizard (Also great, with many feels!)

and of course Come For Me. :D

[capitu]

You should read them all! lol

But really, these should be on your to read pile pronto:

Sometimes the Best Gifts Come in Small Packages
The Moon Loves Her Shadows
Plums

Only some of my faves from her. :)

[reijamira]

Will read them all! :D Thanks for the recs, hon! You saved my after work evenings. :D

[capitu]

<3 My pleasure, lovely.
