Templum Bellonae

Maurice

Maurice and Alec didn’t leave all danger behind them in France. Will their secret be discovered on their first day in Cheltenham? E.M. Forster’s ‘Maurice’.

I love this. It’s a perfect follow-up to the book.

Somewhere to Begin by Geoviki

This story is now one of my favourite Harry Potter fics, second only to Lust over Pendle. I have to admit, I can’t resist Redemption Of Draco Malfoy fics, especially when Draco is really well-written. There are one or two moments when story-Draco doesn’t match canon-Draco, but by and large his transformation into a decent human being is shown as a logical progression from the events in the plot.

There’s a short follow-up story, Harry Potter and the Slytherin-Coloured Lamborghini.

If you were interested in the friendship between Draco and Gregory in the story, there a short sidestory, Autumn Can Really Hang You Up the Most, set sometime post-war.

Update: A Thousand Beautiful Things now has a sequel. I’ve only read the first chapter of Delicate Sound of Thunder, but so far, it looks to be as good as its prequel.

Further Update: I just finished Delicate Sound of Thunder, and it really was just as good as A Thousand Beautiful Things. I think my favourite part was Hermione and Snape working together against A.W.L. The scene with Daniel in Draco’s apartment at the end was awfully funny, too. And the revelation of what Draco’s secret DE past was really suprised and horrified me, but in a good way. And Daniel’s such a sweetie…you know, let’s just say that I liked everything about this story. Because I really did.

There’s also a very short epilogue to Delicate Sound of Thunder (ETA: Site seems to be down, so this epilogue is unavailable at the moment.)

A Thousand Beautiful Things by Geoviki

Another story by the author of A Thousand Beautiful Things. I didn’t love this one quite as much, but I still enjoyed it greatly. Draco is damaged in the final battle with Voldemort and ends up in St. Mungo’s, where Harry starts to visit him out of guilt. The only quarrell I have with the story is that it feels a little unfinished; I think it needed more of a climax.
