I've read some good Harry/Draco where the prevailing motif is more "well, you didn't turn out to be all bad. And you seem to be marginally helpful right now. *become reluctant comrades in arms and then circumstances conspire* Oh, all right, you're kind of halfway to good looking, for a ferret, perhaps as a matter of convenience."

But, then, I'm biased because the other pairing of my heart is Pansy/Hermione, so I think about and occasionally write younger!generation HP fic. Which means I kind of have to involve Harry and Draco.

I don't dislike Harry/Draco. I just find it more generic. There is so much canon on the trio generation that it takes a long fic to convince canon hore me that they are hot for one another, never mind a relationship.

This is why for the most part, I'm interested in the First War generation or maybe Next Gen.....

But also, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black have enough complex canon to have captured the interest of some very outstanding writers and artists! I'd compare this to the interest in Jack/ Ianto of Torchwood. And unfortunately, their creators were equally kind!
