mixed habitat & densely vegetated hiding places

Woo, barely getting this in before the next one starts. This one is Fanwork Recommendations. I'm just going to do a few recent, short ones here, all under 1000 words.


Harry Potter

we two boys together clinging (PG-13, Harry/Draco) by writcraft
Excerpt: Secrets. Quiet, like two boys kissing against dusty bookshelves. Hidden, like queerly beating hearts.

Themes of books, storytelling, love, and queerness spiral round each other in this exquisitely written ficlet. Books, secrets in books, secrets of the heart. Literature, stories, love stories. They intertwine like a braid, tight and strong.


Refuge (G, Percy & Snape gen) by torino10154
Excerpt: "I find myself unwelcome within the castle walls." Snape studies him for a moment though Percy feels no brush of Legilimency. "I thought you might understand."

This tense post-HBP moment gets Percy's character down cold and suggests an intriguing catalyst for his journey back to his family. Feels like you could slip this right into canon.


Warcraft

The Quel'dorei Loaf (Mature, Sylvanas Windrunner/bread) by mcaulfield
Excerpt: Life was simple then, even with her duties as Ranger-General, for she and her Rangers, no matter how coolly she referred to them in the company of authority, enjoyed the simple company of one another around a fire with good drink and good bread.

I have a thing for cracky prompts taken seriously, so this ficlet was a delight for me. You might not need to know canon for this? Sylvanas is... well, she's dead. Queen of the undead, in fact, at least those who have free will. She no longer needs to eat, but through the sensuality of food, she holds onto the thread of a connection to her former life.
