Rec Me Baby!
Dec. 15th, 2009 04:06 pmFive recs, four different holiday fests.
The Contest. Ron/Harry. NC17.
Yes, yes. Ron and Harry are great, funny plot, good descriptions and dialogue, very entertaining, blah blah blah. Now that we got that out of the way, can we PLEASE talk about Hermione? Because she's the definition of awesome. I adore her. I want to worship the ground on which she walks, take her home and drink tea with her and have long conversations - about wanking. And Galleons wrapped up in KNICKERS. Oh, mystery author you're brilliant.
Green Knights, Earnest Quests. Neville/Seamus. R.
Seamus and Neville go on a journey together - literally and figuratively. They are tired of post-war celebrations and need some time off. The relationship, how they need to cling to each other because their story is similar, is so very well developed. The characters are broken, but the author doesn't throw it all at the reader. It comes in bits and pieces that don't quite form a whole picture in the end. It feels very real, and I adore it.
The Mooncalf and the Quibbler. Zacharias/Luna. NC17.
After losing his temper to a series of provocations, a very reluctant Zach is sentenced to doing community service at The Quibbler. 19,000 words, so take some time.
I hesitated to rec this because I think I know who wrote it. On the other hand, I don't know!know, and haven't read it before it was posted. So I figure it's fair game.
This is quirky and sweet and makes me feel warm all over. It's the writing style of that particular author that flows so smoothly and beautifully that it fits Luna's character and clashes with Zach's in a perfect way. And there are cucumbers. You really should read this because of the cucumbers.
Percy and Hermione bond over work. Gen. Art.
It's precious. Just give it a click.
Things We Lost in The Battle. George/Lee. NC17.
Four years ago, Lee Jordan fled England to rebuild his broken heart. Lured back home to celebrate an important anniversary, he is forced to face everything he left behind.
This is a very good example of what can happen when boys are boys. I had to repress the urge to yell at the screen repeatedly. But it gets better eventually. I liked the interaction and stubbornness, and it's hot as well.
