This is one of my all-time favorite fics.

"What were you thinking, grabbing me like that?"

"I was thinking I didn’t want my head bashed in. What were you thinking, Potter, sprawling on top of me? I thought you would never get up."

Potter flushed, and Draco took comfort in the fact that Potter looked every bit as humiliated as Draco privately felt.

"I meant, what were you thinking grabbing my arm in the first place."

Of course that was what Potter had meant. Draco attempted to cover his discomfort with a scathing look. "I was thinking that, considering Weasley’s recent mishap with Apparition, it would be extremely foolish to rely upon Floo travel as safe either."

"Well, it’s certainly not safe with you hanging off my arm! You’re supposed to keep your elbows tucked in, not Floo with someone dangling from one of them." Potter rubbed at a scraped wrist.

"Stop pretending you know how to Floo, Potter. You’ll embarrass yourself."

Potter’s brows drew together. "Right, next time I’ll remember to wrap myself around someone like a vine and cling for safety. That’ll be much less embarrassing."

Need I say more?

Day 13. A fic you liked when you were younger

Title: The Gift
Author: Khylaren
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Characters: Haldir/Legolas, Merry/Pippin (implied), Frodo and the rest of the Fellowship
Rating: NC-17
Summary: The fellowship takes its rest beneath the trees of Lothlorien, but Legolas can find no peace. Haldir helps to ease his grief over the loss of Gandalf and the perils the fellowship faces, with unexpected results for them both.

I was about 19 when I discovered slash. Haldir/Legolas was my H/D back then. I think this was one of my favorite fics.
