Kaalee is Queen!!

[rurounihime]

Recs! My choice tonight for recs is... KAALEE. It's Celebrate Kaalee Day!

kaalee is one of those writers who can oscillate between ships and characters. I don't know her all that well yet, but I love her stories for the differences in feel and tone, as well as her ability to hint at back-stories and future events in such a way that she captures the reader's attention completely and draws him or her deeply into the story. I recommend, even if you are strictly an H/D shipper, that you give some of her fics outside that ship a go. You won't regret it.

The Kaalee-list.

(Not putting the disclaimers here. Read them before you read the fics)

First, some lovely H/D

Warmth

H/D, PG-13

Harry's on edge, and nothing Draco does will help. Oh, this fic is... entrenched in beauty. It moves as smoothly and quietly as the snow falling outside Harry's house. This... this is the relationship I love. One of my two favorite fics by Kaalee.

...

A different ship...

Unexpected

D/R, NC-17

Ron has a new life, a new exercise routine... and a new boss. Now, I am not a D/R shipper. But I loved this. There is so much here: so much past, so much emotion... The way Ron's life is detailed, past and present, is so careful. It's like an old wound that will not quite close.

...

Back to H/D

Failure

H/D, PG

Life is a series of tests for everyone. This fic is bittersweet and haunting. So much is left unsaid, yet the words are there. Harry and Draco's relationship is so tentative.

...

Now some H and R...

Doing It Right

H/R, PG-13

Preparations are hard work, especially for the most uncertain of moments. The aspect of this fic that I love is that you don't really know what all the preparing is for until the very end. It sits in the back of your mind, gaining ground slowly, and then... perfect.

...

And finally...

Breathe

H/D, NC-17... *warning: this fic is incredibly dark*

Harry steals into Draco's room at night. Oh my god, this fic is terrifying. My other favorite of Kaalee's fics. It is woven like a dream, surreal, captivating... You can't look away. The eeriness of Harry and otherworldliness of Draco is postively mesmerizing. Like a tableau painted in silence. Watch for night 13.

...

Oh that's good. I picked up a cold at the trade show I was at all weekend, but it's not half as bad as what you and some of my friends were going through. I'm glad you're feeling a little bit better.
SCORE!

Must have been all the licking.
*Malfoy grin*

Wahoo! You are feeling better!
*licks and glomps*

[kaalee.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweetie. *cries*

I don't know what to say. Just... oh, lots of things in life are not cooperating, but to come home and find this in my flist felt better than a warm cup of tea. ♥ ♥

Truly. I wish I could express how much this means to me. *smooooshes*

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

*is smooooshed*

Oh, my pleasure, luv. Glad I could make your day a bit better. I really do love your fics. You deserve this. ^__^ *kiss*

[silverkey.livejournal.com]

Oooo more fics to read! I can't wait to get home. ^^

And YES - Love Marilyn Manson's cover of Tainted Love. Saw a CoS vid of Snape/Lucius/Lockhart set to it once. All lingering, poisonous looks!

[licoricegirl.livejournal.com]

Why you little smarty pants! Don't make me go all dominatrix on you.

Really don't. I don't get off on that at all.

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Gahaha! That video sounds hilariously entertaining.

Hope you enjoy the fics! They are quite varied in tone. ^_^

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Silly. *shakes head* That's why we have fruliiiiieeeee!!!

[licoricegirl.livejournal.com]

Oh yesssss. Nobody's quite as good as she is when it comes to the spanking. Or ordering about. Oooh. Forceful frulie. *shivers*
