Discussion: Wartime Harry and Draco

[pink_mint]

I made a post to accio_hd_fics the other day asking if anyone could think of stories or art depicting WWI or WWII. I couldn't think of any, but I was hoping I was wrong.

Many thanks to roma_fics because she remebered a piece she thought was great, and oh, wow, do I agree. It features Harry and Draco, amongst several other characters, in a trench.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR (or) Steady On, Soldier

The drawing is intense and cool and very well done. It's the kind of thing I was looking and hoping for. And what really delighted me about the piece is that it's a magical AU. I think it's so special.

But sadly this is the only thing that came up. I'm surprised this is the case, especially since the Harry Potter series had a first Wizarding War and lead up to the second Wizarding war. It seems like it would have been done extensively and become almost a cliché.

Why hasn't it been done? This is an unmarked territory for Harry and Draco. I'm craving more stories and art like this, and I'm inspired to add to it. I think I have my prompt idea for my hd_holidays sign-up! Distress and romance during a wartime fall and winter - my heart flutters just thinking about it! :-D

Sweet, I got your mail, no worries. I'm in the middle of a huge edit and sometimes don't get to answer fandom mail as quickly as usually. But I am insanely happy that you like me Rotkäppchen reading. *squishes*

In my sign-up for hd_hols I listed war!fic as one of my preferences to write. I'd love to write one, actually (*waves at Bry, Dyson, Tara and Byaghro*), not as a WWI or WWII AU, but a real HP War AU.

I am still racking my brain about that other one. It was short, I seem to remember (or do I remember a scene from a long fic?). Nor sure if I can retrieve it, but I'll let you know if I do.

Do you know The Reader (http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/aja/TR01a.html) by Aja? It is a wartime fic and just stunning. :)

Excellent, sweetheart! I'm just glad you did get it - no worries about replying. :-D

I hope you get someone that has that in their preferences, because, God, I'd love to read a full HP war fic from you!!! If my gifter doesn't want to do my first prompt, that was my second (of course, they don't have to do either! ;-) ).

I must have read The Reader, but I don't remember it from looking at it . . . I'll read it with my lunch. Yay!!
