Fic Rec: Gush (Harry/Draco) by [info]calanthe_fics

Gush - Harry/Draco [R - warning for watersports] by [info]calanthe_fics.

So you think you hate watersports? Cal may change your mind yet.

On occasion, I've taken issue with a writer's reasoning for writing kinkfic. More often than not, I am completely turned off by an author's egotism as opposed to the subject matter. Nobody, least of all me, is impressed with 'Oh, look at me, everyone! I wrote ponyplay, CBT, bloodplay, necrophilia etc, aren't I the hardcore bitch?' This never fails to elicit a roll of the eyes from me.

I've always been of a 'I could take it or leave it' mind concerning watersports. I don't go running off in search of it, but if something intriguing happens my way, I'll definitely give it a go.

Gush is a lovely preamble for the novice. It focuses equally on the kink as well as the push-pull relationship, and there's a charismatic sincerity to Cal's writing. She writes what she wants to write and fuckerall if you want to join her or not. Me? I find that completely enviable.

Who's the bigger dickhead here remains to be seen. I honestly wanted to shove that jug of pumpkin juice up both their arses, and by the end of the fic, I was still debating on who had had the upper hand. Just the sort of Harry/Draco dynamic I crave.

Ready for something different? My advice -- don't suppress the urge!

Comments

I got no objection to watersports in fic; it's Harry/Draco (or vice versa) that I can't stand. ;-)
W/s fics are just so hard to come by. Let alone the well-written ones. And while I have you here, Loup, I have to tell you that your comment on 'The Beginning of Be Mine' at WTP made me smile for DAYS! ♥
