nicevennI finally had some time to catch up on my Smoochfest reading. There's still a lot I haven't had the chance to read yet, but here are my favorites so far.
I usually refuse to read 'Draco escapes to the Muggle world' stories, but since this was the first Smoochfest post, I gave it a chance--and I'm so glad I did. What a wonderful, touching fic with just a hint of angst. I love Harry in this-- he's like a hurt puppy, and you just want to cuddle him.
This is such a delightful and creative fic. I don't know how to say what I love about it without giving too much away, so just go read it. You won't regret it!
Fluffy, funny and hot, with just a touch of angst. I think I smiled throughout the entire time I was reading it. Draco is so endearingly clueless-- you just want to take the manual and whack him on the head with it, lol.
My favorite thing about this fic is the characterization. I'm especially fond of Draco and Hermione. Lots of amusing banter to be found here :)
You have to be familiar with Star Wars to get all the references, but not to enjoy this lovely, funny fic. The author managed to merge these two worlds together perfectly. And there's holographic porn, too! Oh, and the H/D action is hot (as one would expect, when the Force is involved ;)
Words can't describe how gorgeous (and hot) this piece is. I love the Japanese theme and all the layers, which give it a three-dimensional effect. Absolutely stunning.
So cute. You can't look at this and not feel all gooey and warm inside.
This comic made my day when it posted. The storyline is super-sweet... and OMG virgin!Draco. You all know that's my biggest kink. And that second to last pic is just... ngggh.

Title: Mr & Mr Potter-Malfoy and the Treasure Hunt of Doom
Author: Anonymous
Recipient: byaghro
Summary: Misplaced heirlooms, doting grandmas, guards in the basement and crayon on the chaise-longue. Parenthood is much rougher than saving the world.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Warning(s): Slightly cracktacular
Epilogue compliant? For the purposes of this story there’s an Al, there’s a Scorpius (they’re seven), and Harry and Draco are already together. Where, you might ask, are Ginny and Astoria? Space, lesbian commune, trying to take over the world – you decide.
Word Count:3325
Author's Notes: Contains a homage to an Order of the Stick strip, rips off PS big-time, and doesn’t pretend to make a great deal of sense.
This is such a delightful and creative fic. I don't know how to say what I love about it without giving too much away, so just go read it. You won't regret it!
Title: The Charm Conundrum
Author: Anonymous

Epilogue compliant? Was there an epilogue? It seems to have been torn out of my copy of DH...
Word Count: 8,500
Author's Notes: I could not resist this prompt! I actually did some research and found archaic-sounding "guidelines" and only had to tweak them a bit for best comic value. I hope you like it!

Title: Harry Potter’s Kissing Booth
Author: Anonymous
Recipient: ran_mouri
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco (Ron/Hermione, Ginny/Oliver Wood)
Summary: From the prompt: Harry always enjoyed the taste of the people he kisses but he has never felt the spark the others describe. After the war there is a party at Hogwarts and he gets drunk, pushes someone he finds pretty against a wall and voila! An electrical current. Next morning he can't remember who that person is, but MUST find him or her again.
Rating: NC-17

Warning(s): (Semi)-Public sex (as in no one’s watching), hand jobs, frotting, slight crack, drunken canoodling
Epilogue compliant? HBP-compliant, but otherwise it’s definitely a seventh year AU
Word Count: ~6,000
Author's Notes: Hope you enjoy, you lovely prompter, you! I tried to write what you asked, but it might’ve turned into a bit more of a humor piece than anything else. Also, extra NC-17 goodness that you didn’t necessarily ask for, but didn’t NOT ask for, so here you are!
My favorite thing about this fic is the characterization. I'm especially fond of Draco and Hermione. Lots of amusing banter to be found here :)
Title: Back and Down the Road
Author: Anonymous
Recipient: fiendie
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco (Ron/Hermione, Neville/Luna, Lucius/Narcissa)
Summary: A young Jedi and his crew get lost in hyperspace and end up on an unknown, almost uninhabited planet. It’s the perfect chance to train in the Jedi arts and fall in love. Prompter, you wanted lightsabers, Wookiees, watching holographic porn and inappropriate uses of the Force. You got ‘em.
Rating: R
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended. I should probably give a nod to George Lucas, here, too.
Warning(s): A little evil and a lot of crack.
Epilogue compliant? *holds sides and laughs* Er, no — AU to the extreme.
Word Count: 8899
Author's Notes: How could I not choose this prompt — I have a Star Wars tattoo for pete’s sake! Prompter, if you’re looking for references/dialogue (and there’s tonnes), this is Old School Star Wars — I hope that’s okay. Huge thanks to my betas D and C, and a big wave to my Farmboy fangirls, who gave this their seal of approval.
You have to be familiar with Star Wars to get all the references, but not to enjoy this lovely, funny fic. The author managed to merge these two worlds together perfectly. And there's holographic porn, too! Oh, and the H/D action is hot (as one would expect, when the Force is involved ;)
Title: 'Til There Was You
Artist: Anonymous

Summary: Draco, an Unspeakable situated in Tokyo, spends a day with Auror Potter.
Rating: PG13

Epilogue compliant? No
Artist's Notes: Thank you, mysterious prompter! This was such a fun challenge to do. It was quite clear from the prompt you were hoping for a fic and I apologize for not providing. (Not that there wasn't a shortage of plotbunnies...) Hopefully you'll like it anyway. Big thanks for my beta, too - you were a great help.
Mod's Warning: Large file! Bandwidth killer! Also, this wasn't marked as claimed on the original list. MY BAD.
Words can't describe how gorgeous (and hot) this piece is. I love the Japanese theme and all the layers, which give it a three-dimensional effect. Absolutely stunning.
Title: Secretly In Love

Summary: Harry wants to play outside instead of studying for NEWTS (who can blame him, really?). Draco comes up with a perfect solution (or so he thought).
Rating: G

Warning(s): 8th year, AU, boys as "friends", and not-so-secret-crushes
Epilogue compliant? Since this is fluff... not even a smidgen of the epilogue!
Author's Notes: I absolutely adored this prompt. When I saw 'holding hands (secret)', I knew exactly what I had to do! Managed to squeeze in a few more things from the given prompt as well. The whole studying idea came up when I was cramming for my own nasty exams XD Much love to the prompter who came up with this lovely prompt, and thank you, ever so awesome mods, for running this fluff-fest!
So cute. You can't look at this and not feel all gooey and warm inside.
Title: How Life Can Work
Artist: Anonymous
Recipient: evilyn_1007
Rating: PG-13
Artist's Notes: Mystery recipient, I do hope you enjoy this! I intended to write fic at first, but that didn't quite work out. I didn't use all of your prompts, but I had fun with the ones I did use. Happy Smooch! Also, much thanks to the mods of this fest for putting up with my tardiness!
Summary: Draco Malfoy is one of the many people who secretly lusts after admires Harry Potter, and he's quite forcefully content to believe that things will never change.
