[foryourpleasure]

AS OF 14/04/14 NO LONGER UPDATED - if a link doesn't work don't give up but google it, Individual LJs and Archives come and go, but many authors repost their work elsewhere.

The best places for checking for HP Creature fics are:

• Wings and Tails: A Harry Potter Creature Community
• Do Me Veela: The Veela Appreciation Community
• Where the wizards bite back: Vampires in the fangdom? Yes Please.

This is the hub page for listings (not recommendation lists) of any Harry and / or Draco as Veela or other magical creature story with comments and recommendations when applicable. I will indicate when a story is Complete or appears to have been abandoned. # in front of the story signifies that I consider it a very good read.

ummm ....some of your Hogwarts era list had fics by Lady Vader and Aja if am not wrong...... EVERYONE who likes H/D will love the works of these following authors: Rhysenn, Maya, Lady Vader, Aja. While its true that am partial to H/D angst i do like the occassional dose of Jennavre..... as long as it remains occassional. But the reason WHY I like angst is this.... i like Harry and Draco to be as IC and canon like as possible.....i believe a relation between them cannot be portrarayed without elaborating the angst element. Its difficult enough to fall in love and in Harry and Draco's case more so u cannot simply show them overcoming their differences which is of immense magnitude overnight....and its a way difficult process to try to see someone you abhorred and loathed in a completely different light.....perceptions/impressions you know cannot transform overnight.... it does not you reckon happen! that's precisely why i like angst...because well i can identify with it....

I do enjoy those authors and I can cope with angst, to a degree. However, angst is probably my least favourite of all genres mainly because it is often so badly done, so drawn out, so unbelievably conceived. I've read stories where the angst never lets up, where misunderstanding after misunderstanding occurs and I just want to scream. I don't think that angst needs to be heavy handed, because you can show suspicion and dislike etc. without going overboard. It tends to become angsty when things become one sided, but even that can be written and portrayed with subtle humour and cleverness. There again I've read a number of death fic which have made me cry but have been so well constructed and written that I've very much appreciated them.

I'm very fond of Mylar (Mohinder and Sylar of Heroes - Lady Vader's done a couple of Mylar stories I adore) which tends not to be angst driven but instead rather delicious, twisted and wicked (probably because Sylar is such a great villain). :-)

I too like my Harry and Draco very, very IC and it is the antagonism and the potentially deep emotions behind that antagonism that makes for such rewarding reading. Jennavere is fun, as you say for occasional reads, but about as OOC as is possible. So too are many of the Creature / Veela fics, but some are really original and clever and I think that's why I developed an affection for the genre even if it does have an inordinate amount of derivative drivel.

Oh, and I have appreciated your recs, so thanks again for them. They've had me exploring quite a few authors.

hey even i like Veela fics( as long as they are slash and H/D slash precisely....) here's a Veela fic you can add to your Veela fic recs it's Veela magic by Lasair its probably in Fiction Alley.....its i think one of the most original way of depicting Veela myths and i dare say its one of the most unusual Veela stories ever.... and you also have a rec list for Harry/ other do you not then you can add this fic: Fate's Hand by Idika its on ff.net although the writing is exceptionally good and the prose dreamy and lucid and the author introduces a lot of foreign concepts alien to the HP universe altogether its well worth reading even if it tends to become a bit too complicated at times another thing the author simply likes to talk talk talk ( elaborate sometimes rather needlessly} so the story hasnt kicked off as yet but I anyways enjoyed how it has progressed so far ( even though the 1st chapter streched my incredulity somewhat} another warning Harry hear appears to be 00C not evil or nasty, but not at all like himself . Although there are plausible and very believable reasons why he behaves so. I want to hear your opinion of this story as your opinion are mostly pretty apt and correct since it is a VERY popular fic...it has almost 1000 reviews for only 10 chapters ( and that also when the author herself says that the "real" story hasnt started yet} it will be nice to hear your take on it.... according to me what i didnt like about this fic that it is somewhat pro Voldemort.....
