The Arrangement

If it seems like I'm overloading on Lumione--sorry! I'm working backwards. They are all very good quality fics though, you won't be disappointed. 

I could not put this story down. It's so sexy and endearing--the things an inmate would do for just a 'peek'... and the things a visitor would do for information... 

The Arrangement by laurielove

Summary: When a prisoner is allowed no other visitors and no gifts, what can be offered to him in exchange for information? Hermione and Lucius come to a very personal arrangement, but will it develop into more than they bargained for?

Three Courses for Mr. Malfoy

I read and posted this one a week ago on @igotafanfic! It's an easy, fun 2-day-or-so read for some quick smut from Lucius and the girls.

Debtors and Collectors

Yesterday I finished this story, Debtors and Collectors by MizSphinx. I was completely blindsided last night by a different story, but this one is still in my head. I'd been on the lookout for a Lumione and this was definitely just what I needed!

Summary: When Lucius is found half-dead, Hermione is tempted to finish the job that Fate intended. Instead, she saves his life thus binding him to a life debt. Now it's up to Hermione to collect her repayment. And collect it she will.

*small spoiler*

But only enough of a spoiler so you know what's going on. Voldemort's won, Hermione is on the run--and so is Lucius. By the summary and title, you know that there's a debt to collect...

Now, this story was so...sweet. Grim, in parts, hateful in many, but eventually nothing matters but survival. The story is a bit common, but it reads as a suspense filled action/romance, Hermione and Lucius versus the Death Eaters with someone to save. It's actually somewhat rustic and raw (what with the being on the run/forest dwelling), with humor spread about.

Rehabilitation

This morning I finished Rehabilitation by SoftObsidian74! I started it last night, and quickly read through it... And it was amazing! I rarely read short stories, preferring not having to worry about reaching the ending for a while. I didn't have that problem while reading this!

It's like a beginning of a story, but the actual outcome of it is so sweet and endearing that it still feels complete. I was surprised by Soft's Lucius, and found myself as frustrated as Hermione at times. And I was shocked! And scared for him! But it was so slick... and he was so sneaky and Slytherin...

Just as the title describes, the story is about a damaged, Post War Lucius going through rehab. I wasn't looking forward to that, as I love my Lucius powerful and strong. But don't fear! He's under there!

Summary: Hermione decides to help Lucius Malfoy transition back into the wizarding world. She never expected to go through a transition of her own. Post DH, not completely epilogue compliant though.

If Lucius is ever in need, I'd be happy to nurse him back to health... :P

**When I get a chance

I plan on writing a review of the story The Wedding, a Lumione I finished yesterday! I can find all sorts of stories when I just search deep into the archives of sites....
There was something else I read this morning... or rather, last night, that I will post on as soon as I find it again! And get internet... :(

**Check In

Alright, sorry about the long wait between posts. I have been looking around for an apartment while living in a place in the middle of nowhere, no internet, no tv, nothing...

But I have a phone, a Blackberry, with internet, and I have managed to continue reading quite a bit!

So I am reading three stories right now. One, a WIP is Claiming Hermione (Dramione). Another, Heart and Soul (Luna/Draco thought I'd try something new!). And my current obsession, Love Thy Enemy (Lumione).... I will be posting about Claiming Hermione as soon as I can get on a computer long enough to write about it, and put the links and email the author and such.

Oy, I just realized that a different Harry Potter fanfiction award place is Quill To Parchment. I never really paid much attentiont to anything other than the Dramione Awards... So QTP is where I found that Luna/Draco story... it is actually rather sweet!

Match

Match by Mental was and still is a surprise. I have never attempted to read anything other than Dramione, Lumione, and Dramionaise, and this was a great leap from the norm. I was totally shocked as to how well written this story was, how well developed, and how well the main character grew on me. It was a journey into the past of the HP series... What a wonderful trip!

The summary for this story is:

"Ze Meridian has a serious problem: despite the skirt, everyone seems to think she's a boy. Desperate to prove that having short hair, a bloke for a best friend, and a serious obsession with sport does not mean she's lacking in feminine wiles, Ze enlists the help of Sirius Black to set Hogwarts straight about the question of her gender. And since Sirius has just entered into a bet with his friends to see who can remain celibate longest, he shouldn't have any trouble keeping his hands to himself...should he?"

Alright, so it is very high up in my favorite stories. I can relate, I can understand the characters, and there is nothing left out! It's like... a soap opera, with cliffhangers galore! But like I mentioned before, it seems like it will go on forever and ever, like it will never end, but phew! It is definitely the business.
