I have a thing for Singlefather!Draco raising a Toddler Scorpius and Harry comes into his life. I love this scenario too. I read a killer story awhile back where Draco is an upscale rent boy and raising Scorpius as a single father (well, joint custody with Astoria, after an amicable breakup), and Harry ends up hiring Draco while under a pretty bad disguise. I can't remember the name, but it was really well written and engaging, even if the summary sounds hokey. I'll have to try and find it again... Which reminds me - rentboy!Draco is another favorite of mine. I know which fic you mean but I can't remember the name TT_TT I must have it saved somewhere, I'll edit this post with the name when I find it. Also, I LOVE rentboy!Draco, it's one of my favourite thing One thing that I find weird is when they call their "chamber of secrets" "home". Example : Draco pushed slowly at Harry's entrance and he was home. Maybe it's just me...

Maybe it's just me... personally i don't care what they call it as long as i get the point LOL.idk i guess they mean to convey they felt right,connected together like that?like err they were home at last,in the right place where they should be?i don't know either,i'm just speculating..

Here it is: Kiss A Boy In London Town (And Other Intimate Misadventures of A Society Whore)

Omg such a good fic. Painless_j has a themed list of other rentboy fics I think.

I've pretty much never read an mpreg fic or a creature fic... I'm curious, what is so great about them?? Personally, the idea creeps me out too much.

Personally, the idea creeps me out too much. i'm not too big on creature fics either(though i've read 1 where draco was a werewolf which wasn't too bad & also 1 where harry was a veela by Cheryl Dyson).i can only stand mpreg if it's draco who's pregnant,for some reason,though i get what you mean,once upon a time i was the same like 'omg men pregnant is so freaky' but i guess i do it more for the angst than anything else.like well i know these 2 have loads of sources of angst alr,but mpreg adds another interesting new aspect..?and also,variety,i guess.makes things more different?

Yeah, true, I guess people like to shake it up a little. I'm always worried about reading an mpreg fic, cause I'd just focus on the mechanics of it. I guess I wouldn't mind it if there was some weird magical way around it... But the idea of a man being preggo is freaky deaky (unless they're trans - but even then, I love canon so I have difficulty liking gender/sex-bended characters...). There's a fic by C Queen (Albus Severus/Scorpius) in which they get caught touching some sort of weird egg thing and a baby is spawned out of it... It sounds weird but it's not too bad haha.

Omg I have a bit of a thing for rentboy!Draco too… drarry I won't read mpreg at all. I don't even like fics with regular pregnancies (I read a het fic once where the girl got pregnant and after that I just didn't really like the story anymore). So one of the reasons why I like slash is to avoid that! Haha. As for creature fics, I really like some veela ones (like Drop Dead Gorgeous by Maya <3), but I don't really see them as creatures. The ones I've read, they don't grow wings or anything, they just have some kind of veela allure or something, which is always fun to read

pottersir That totally makes sense! Pregnancies are way over-done in my opinion. I mean, I know babies have to come from somewhere but can there be a tv show without one?? Please?? And I'll have to give DDG a read! herillusion Hahah, see that's my problem, most of the time I -can't- ignore the visuals. True, true, they could just mention it in passing but I have a feeling it would just grate on my mind like 'That is not physically possible please stop'... But I guess it's easier in HP because there's the magical aspect. In other fandoms, I think I'd have even more trouble... It's not a bad fic! It drags on a bit too much, really, like without a plot-line so I wouldn't necessary recommend it... But the egg thing, if you read it, wasn't as weird as you think. It just sounds weird But whoa, Snape giving birth to an egg sounds super duper weird hahah.

drarry Exactly! I mean, pregnancy stories have their place, but preferably not in any of the fics I read Have you read a Maya fic before? Just a warning, it might be harder to read anything else afterwards for a while, because it most likely won't compare to Maya's writing (at least in my experience).

drarry LOL guess i'm just better at the 'putting it to the back of my mind & pretending its irrelevant' bit then :x physically possible doesn't count for much in the magical world,i suppose.how much can a fic regarding something spawned out of an egg drag?!taking care of the baby that appears? o.o i'll just have to take your word for it then i guess haha!hmm yes that was bizarre.i have this habit of cheating aka glancing at the end to see if there's that might squick me so i don't waste my effort reading the front bits if there happens to be,so yeah..i think that snape giving birth to an egg fic might have been mentioned in a rec somewhere as 'mpreg but not exactly' which made me curious enough to take a peek as to why ironically i don't actually like reading normal het pregnancy much,so mpreg seems to fall into a slightly diff category somehow..

I just remembered something else that i don't like in fics, non-con, I avoid them like the plague. I'm mostly okay with dubcon though...
Also infidelity makes me uncomfortable, too much het as well (haha eww het)
