01:11 am The Ferret Foul-Up by Zed Adams (NC-17)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Harry/Draco

Why this must be read:

Canon!Draco is not a particularly sympathetic character, it’s true, but he does have his moments. Notably, in Goblet of Fire he is transfigured into a ferret and bounced repeatedly off a stone floor by an unbalanced teacher. Stunned, hurt, and betrayed, he nevertheless reacts to this with dignity and a marked lack of his usual “My father” histrionics.

The fangirls go all gooey, and lo, ferret!Draco fic is widely loved. There are so many wonderful examples of ferret!Draco, I had a tough time deciding, and in fact, I may rec another before the month is over. *g*

The Ferret Foul-Up gives us Harry and Draco both cursed into ferret form, and much romping and tussling and ear sucking ensues before they are discovered. Hilarious and adorable. You will not regret reading this fic!

Why this must be read:
This was a last-minute entry to the B7Ficathon, and it just goes to show that stories written quickly can have a wonderful spontaneity and freshness that compels the reader. Nickey's mandate was a non-slash Avon-Blake or Avon-Vila with a strong Jenna or Cally, set in S1 or S2.

This is basically a Missing Scene set after Gambit. It stands to reason that at least somebody in the crew would have been suspicious about Avon and Vila's self-proclaimed real quiet time. Vila is a much-loved character, and Nickey captures his anxious cuddliness as he worries about what inevitable something will ruin his enjoyable day out. Something does of course, but there's a double twist leading up to a satisfying resolution.

Sorry I've been slow about getting started this month, but this is my way of making it up to you all because this is fabulous and for some reason was sitting bookmarked and unread for months. Don't make the same mistake I did!

There is just so much to love here I don't know here to begin. First, I am not a Norrington fan, but this story kind of made me love him. Second, the smut is fabulously smutty and hot and the angst is genuine and heart wrenching. Third, I just love Jack and Will's relationship. They way they interact, banter, and fight just seems perfect to me. Forth, Jack is well written, a bit crazy, but not a caricature, he's seems like a real person which is a very hard things to pull off. Fifth, Will is cool, also sometimes a hard feat to pull off. Sixth, the whole thing is just damn hot and lovely.
