Everyone wants to be a Coffeejunkii...

[rurounihime]

Oh, it's a rec day! Bwahahahahaaaaaa... And my rec choice for today is... COFFEEJUNKII. It's Celebrate Coffee Day!

coffeejunkii is, I believe, one of the most underappreciated fic writers I know. She's fairly calm, a little quiet, without the most ostentatious lj, but of course, no one buries treasure in obvious places. Aside from the time and effort she puts into her fics (and the time and effort I cajole out of her for help on my fics ^_~), she is constantly turning out gorgeous and introspective writing. She claims to have a bad relationship with description, but her writing shows that when all is said and done, this couldn't be further from the truth. The way she wraps me around her little finger while reading, the marvelous, thoughtful characterisations, and the dialogue, my gawd the dialogue... *puts balm on heart*

Without further ado, the Coffee List.

(Wow. Still not disclaiming a thing. Read intelligently.)

First up, the stunning Seven Days

H/D, NC-17 (prologue & seven chapters)

The most desperate -- and costly -- rescue Harry will ever make results in seven days stowed away on a ship with the man he loves. But he is forced to wonder if he really knows him. This. Is. ASTOUNDING. I can't get over how much this fic effected me. Draco is somber and heartbreaking, Harry guilt-ridden and hopeless, and the intimacy... *swoons*

...

Precipice

H/D, PG-13, Mpreg (6 chapters WIP)
Prequel one-shot here.

On the run from the Ministry for a crime they didn't commit, Harry and Draco have a little more to deal with than just each other. I love this fic. It's work-in-progress. Quiet, tense, sweet and enjoyable, this fic takes its time getting at the people involved and the problems they face in the world they live in, and in each other.

...

The Broken Glass series

H/D, three PG-13 and one NC-17 (4 parts, WIP)

The war has been won, but not without a price. Now Draco wonders how long he should wait before calling an end to their suffering. This series is equally touching and heartbreaking. Draco's pain is so beautifully rendered, but also his steadfast determination and patience. Read this, you won't regret any of it.

...

Flight

H/D, NC-17 PWP

Draco's afraid of commitment and Harry's... well, Harry. In the best way. ^_^ My favorite fic of Coffee's. From the first sentence to the last, this story grips hard and carries you along all the way to its... climax.

...

Now, if this dose of sweet caffeine hasn't done the trick yet, go visit Coffee's lj and the rest of her fics HERE. It's Celebrate Coffee Day on Ru's journal!

Yes, Coffee writes incredibly well, doesn't she? I love all her fic :)

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

True that. ^_^ *loves*

[goldie.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more about the fabulousness that is Coffee! How lovely of you to appreciate her work like this Ru!

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Well, she certainly deserves it. ^___^

I love your icon!

[shikishi.livejournal.com]

We love the coffee, we does we does.

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, precious, we loves it. ^_~

Rec day! What a fantastic idea. And it's a H/D shipper. And she seems to like coffee...? :DD

I think I read something by her not too long ago and liked it a lot... I'm in a OTP sort of mood today so I'll check these fics out. Thanks for the recs. :)

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Oh, please do. Her stories are great.

Rec days are actually something I have been doing for a while, focusing either on a theme or on a certain author. You can find the rest by clicking the tag "recday" in this post, or by going to my memories page and clicking "Rec Days on Ru's LJ" or "My faves of others' fics."

[paz-.livejournal.com]

I'll certainly do that once I've gone through today's recs. Thanks for letting me know.

[alloveryou.livejournal.com]

Awe, that's so sweet of you! If I was coffee, I wouldn't know what to do with myself! And what brilliant recs they are! :D :D *spreading the coffee love*

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

She is great, isn't she? ^____^

[coffeejunkii.livejournal.com]

oh ru, i don't know what to say. i think it took me a few moments to realize you were actually talking about me here :). such beautiful and poignant summaries of my stories...

thank you for everything ♥.

and you know, today, for once, i felt that descriptions came easily to me. everything just flowed. will check if you are on aim now :)

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

You totally deserve this, dearie. Honest. Your fics move me.

[therealw.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more. Her style is so clean and understated, she doesn't need to resort to flashy fireworks to make it work and, well, not many people can say that! The 'On Broken Glass' series is one of the most moving and flawless things I've ever read, and obviously an all-time favourite.

*jumps on the Coffee-Love wagon*

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

I always really liked that one. It was so... touching. And silent. There was this pervasive sense of quiet, but it was uneasy quiet until the last entry or so. And then it was calm. I love it.

[red-rahl.livejournal.com]

I'm ashamed to admit I had never read Coffee's stuff until now...and I can honestly say I've been up very, very late reading her fantastic stories....Thank you so much for the rec!! I really do adores these rec days of yours, Ru! *adores quite madly*

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Always happy to spread the love! And she is very deserving of this. I am so glad you decided to do some artwork for her!

[tipgardner.livejournal.com]

I LOVE when you do these. You make people feel so entirely wonderful. It proves that you are such a wonderful person. Go you!

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

You are the bestest, Tip. You always make me feel so loved. *clings*
