FIc Rec: Confusion of Will & Desire (NC-17, H/D)
Fic Rec!

So gatewaygirl, the author of Blood Magic and many other well-known fics, has written a new something that I am absolutely loving.

It's a nine part piece, and 5 of the 9 parts have been posted. I don't consider it a WIP, since she's already written the other parts. It's entitled A Confusion of Will and Desire, and it's an EWE Year Eight scenario that has as its backstory a fic she wrote called "May I?" for a fest.

It has just some of the best Year 8 Harry/Draco I've seen yet.

The original story centers around a Year 5 Christmas scenario with Sirius, Harry, and Lupin, and some potioned mischief the twins have gotten up to with some prank biscuits. The thing is, after the effects of the potion wear off, Lupin charms Harry not to remember what happened. After his death during the battle of Hogwarts, though, the charm wears off.

Thus, Harry suddenly finds himself starting to have these very sexual dreams and wondering whether a) he has gone round the twist, b) he really thinks Sirius was f**king hot, c) he might be gay/bi, d) all of the above.

The story is quite emotionally intense, but is full of wry humour as Harry attempts to figure things out like sexuality and Draco Malfoy. The interplay between him and Draco is just lovely, and something I miss when I'm not reading much fic! GG has done a wonderful job of showing us clear glimpses of Draco's complex character that Harry can't fathom at all, but the reader certainly can. I can't wait to read the rest of this, but I'll have to!

Smoking hot, emotionally rich, tender and funny. What's not to like?
