day 13 of @hprecfest — a rare pair | previous recs

trine by toyourdetriment / @yiiiiiiiikes25 (teddy/draco/harry, E, 9.1k)

Teddy throws a match.

a great deal of horniness tinged with despair in various combinations. see also:

Harry’s in the fucking room with them, reverently watching Draco’s cock reshape his godson.

— incidentally an excellent & succinct summary of much of what happens. look,

i didn't even go here.

i would, however, follow @yiiiiiiiikes25 anywhere.

(2) has held me in excellent stead thus far; i do, in fact, go here now.

yikes' work consistently squeezes my arteries narrower (chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations et cetera) & trine is an erotic forcefield. their grip of voice is unmatched, brought about through some of the most nuanced characterisations i've seen; it produces my favourite kind of filth— thick, rich, specific. each permutation of this triad drips with its own crisis, its categorical thrust of desire, particularities of madness. draco's unrepentant, clawing want; teddy's sullen, grinding need; harry's moral hangups sublimating into animal urgency— i needed a drink and then several cigarettes about it.

trine is a masterclass in tension & climax, its style emulates stimulation/brink/explosion in a way that made me want to dissect it for craft. go for the porn, stay to salivate about draco calling teddy "edward" and return for the way yikes' writing is a cresting wave, for the blinking, startled exhilaration of reaching the shoreline & wanting to go again, again, again.

if you haven't read it yet, do yourself a favour today; if you have— well, do yourself a favour today! it's a recent work, but a timeless rec.
