I've got Harry/Draco fans on my flist, right? I mean, I must do, seeing as there are so many of them. xd

Right, well, if you read H/D, I need your help.

I never used to understand the appeal AT ALL. At the beginning, I didn't get why anyone would write slash about two characters who hated each other. And when I was first getting into fandom, the H/D I read was crap, anyway.

BUT NOW. I'm starting to get curious. Draco's never been of any interest to me, but in HBP he became more of a human being to me, and I started to care about him a little more. And I couldn't avoid thinking "H/D! H/D!" at various points in Deathly Hallows.

And when I was watching PoA last night, too, I kept picking stuff out. And now...yeah, I want to give it another go.

So what I'm looking for is a Harry/Draco fic of a reasonable length (not too long, not too short) that has quite a lot of plot, and they're in character, and it's...believable. That's the most important thing. If they're all OMGINLUV I just won't be able to take it seriously. :/ I want something well-written and well-characterised. Smut optional.

Anyone? :/

The reason I'm asking is because there's SO MUCH OUT THERE that I don't know where to start.

Can't really rec anything in particular, because I haven't read H/D so much. Only bits there and here, nothing spectacular yet :D But still, I'd like to mention this site (http://notquiteroyal.net/switchknife/hd.htm) where I've found most of the good fics I've read :)

I'm way too choosy for my own good; I demand perfect and nothing less ;) That's one of the reasons why I've read so few fics with this pairing even that I started more than a year ago. I hope you fins something good to read!

I'll have a look! Thank you for the rec.

Haha, I'm the same. If I have a really specific idea of how a certain pairing should be written, nothing else seems good enough. *sigh*
