True Blood.

Eric and Sookie

I just love the dynamic between these two. Top it off with the relationhip progression, the lust, the banter between the two (don't even get me started on Eric's selfless ability to put Sookie first, to care for her, and still remain so cool, calm and collected) and you have yourself a winner of a couple. Plus... even though i've only read the first eight books in the series the Eric/Sookie relationship in the 'Sookie Stackhouse' series is still my favourite.

So while i've loved them on the show i'm a bit disappointed by the fandom for the couple.

I had a few fruitless months of searching for good True Blood (E/S, Pam, Jessica, Hoyt) stories and finally found an lj comm with a good number of well written stories. Unfortuntly i don't have the time to go through everthing i saved to pick the best but i thought i'd share one of the best fan vids i've ever seen.

The Fallout.

The Fallout by Sage

[MA Hermione learns about growing up through the redemption of Draco Malfoy]

Link One and Link Two (the same story archived at different sites... you have to sign up to read the stories though)

I just realised a lot of the Draco/Hermione stories i'd recommended were archived on Colored Gray and have thus been lost in the dark depths of cyber space. Sad. I don't read much D/Hr anymore but i will try and find the links in the next few months.. and post the few stories i've read and enjoyed in the fandom in the last year.

In the mean time i wanted to reiterate and repost the link to the one D/Hr i still re-read religiously. The Fallout by Sage is by far, without a doubt, the best story i have ever read in any fandom.

It is amazing and brilliant and the emotion and progression is unbelievable. The sex, the war, the in-between times are written in such a poignant way... it's just superb.

Sage manages to create a world that is so realistic and the progression between Draco and Hermione's relationship so touching that this will leave your heart beating fast every damn time you read it.

I cannot recommend this story enough. Even if you aren't a fan of D/Hr i would still say read it (!!!) if not for the fact that it does something that most people in fandom writing stories would never manage to do.

Unfortunatly the amount of updates the last few months has really slowed but Sage has always said she will finish this story no matter what so i'm pretty confident it will one day be completed.

If you haven't.... go and read it now.
