The Dancing Series by Teague (R)
Hi, I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
merelyn and I’m going to be your Harry Potter reccer for the month of July. Just to let everyone know what to expect, I’m a hardcore slasher (though there might be a few gen fics). If you’re looking for Harry/Draco or Remus/Sirius, ya ain’t gonna get it from me (though my sister will probably force me to rec a Snape/Harry fic for her). One of the things I love about Harry Potter is that because there are sooo many characters to work with and because the fandom is so big, you can find a story out there pairing almost any two people you can think of, and what’s more, it will probably be well-written. That said, I plan on using this month to pimp some of the slightly lesser-known pairings that are close to my heart, in the shameless hopes of converting as many as possible. *evil grin*
In that spirit….
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Percy/Oliver
Author on LJ:macteague
Author Website: Breagerey
Why this must be read:
Percy/Oliver is, for the most part, a pairing that is cute and fluffy and pre-OoTP. They have a very Odd Couple dynamic, with fanon!Percy being softened from the prat he comes off as in the books to an adorably stuffy, insecure dork. Oliver’s characterization is something that can be taken in many directions, since JKR doesn’t give us much to work with besides a massive Quidditch obsession.
The premise of this fic is that Bill and Charlie are at the Burrow for Christmas, and Molly strong-arms them into doing something with Percy, who is supposedly crushed by his recent breakup with Penny (Percy's canon girlfriend in Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban who then thankfully proceeds to drop off the face of the earth).
Bill and Charlie’s brilliant plan to get Percy to open up and discuss his heartbreak?
Take Percy to a club and get him really really drunk. Yeah. Good thinking, guys.
(Percy) relaxed quickly, and chatted amiably about a variety of neutral topics for a good half-hour, before he somewhat shakily set down his mug and said, "Why are we here?"
Oh gods no! Don't tell me my brother is a philosophical drunk! "Err... well, no one really knows that Percy - " Bill began lamely.
Percy shot him a look that read suspiciously like 'you idiot' and waved his hand around the room "Why are we HERE, not why are we here" he stated with the firmness of the slightly tipsy.
If you’re in the mood for something cute and warm and funny (or if you, like me, have a deep seated love for drunk!Percy) read this now. The characterization of all the Weasleys is excellent and even the peripheral original characters feel like people instead of cardboard cut-outs or Mary Sues. All in all, a very satisfying read.

Oh, and if you like this fic, you should go to Teague's website and read all of her fics, which are mostly Percy/Oliver and all very good. :)
