My fic recs (3 of ??)

And now, to tackle nightfalltwen's questions!

Your favorite pairing?

I'm not going to lie to y'all, I'm cheating on this one. I have two favorite pairings, one of which evolved from the other. My original OTP is Draco/Ginny, and I still adore them. Reading D/G fic is what got me into fandom -- reading the fabulous wit of carrie_leigh way back when, as well as some other

I haven't read any of these, but I feel like busting in with a random comment on MMITRR lalala.

The themes were what I enjoyed so much about that fic. You leave Lily's motivations up to the reader, which is where the power of the fic comes from IMO. I see what I want to see, which is the guilt and self-destructiveness of a young girl using sex as a crutch for emotional issues, no matter the cost to herself or those around her. That's hotter to me than a romance any day. With or without the sex. :)

And I'm glad that came across. I wanted Lily's motivations to be up in the air. If I'd tried to get into the why, I think the story would have been much longer than it is, and I think it would have inevitably ruined it for someone.

I struggled with writing the infidelity. That's not a kink that comes naturally to me, so writing it was difficult.
