FIC RECS

[kennahijja]

I haven't done a proper rec post in ages, so here's an assortment of brilliant fics I've been sitting on for a long time... And I've not even read half of the snarry_games, riddle_gifts and hd_holidays fics that are burning on my nails :(.

The Isle is Full of Noises by spessartine [Salazar/Godric, R]
Salazar and Godric during the building of Hogwarts. This fic swept me off my feet - Niffled here on FA for extensive comments. Utterly gorgeous, with the most sensual writing and the most seductive Salazar *ever*.

The Living Years by dementordelta [Harry/Snape, NC-17]
Summary: Severus Snape makes the ultimate sacrifice for Harry Potter. No, not that sacrifice! The other one! And finds Sanctuary in the most unexpected of places.
They say it's hard to find an innovative take on Snarry after all this time, but this story has *definitely* done it, turning the Harry/Snape age dynamic on its back like a gobsmacked turtle, and *then* proceeding to turn it into the most delicious, tender love story. Wow! And they say you can't say anything new about this pairing any longer...

Your Wish is My Command Series by coffee_n_cocoa [Remus/Neville, PG-13 to NC-17]
Summary: Remus and Neville decide to discover and venture into granting each other's sexual desires and fantasies, uncovering deeper issues of trust and need along the way that could bring them closer together, or tear them apart.
Mmh, Neville/Remus coming to terms with wish fulfilment and Remus' wolf in the weeks before the full moon... *delicious* characterisation, breath-taking sex, and a deep sense of tenderness that makes me go all gooey inside...

The Greek Boy: An Introduction to Submission by islandsmoke [Remus/Snape/OMC, NC-17]
Summary: Lupin had promised Snape, "no more Greek Boys" unless he shared. He decides it is not only time to share the Boy with Snape, but to introduce the Boy to the D/s culture.
I'm usually very unfond of original characters, clubs and D/S dynamics (even less 'Snupin'!) and *still* was absolutely swept away by this – amazing characterisation, and seeing Lupin and Snape through the eye of an outsider brought them to life even more than usual. Gorgeous altogether!

And a gem for the German speakers:

Vanadium I-Ching and Coda 2.3 by liriaen [Harry/Draco, R]
Summary: Den Würgegriff einer Künstlichen Intelligenz namens Voldemort haben sie abgeschüttelt, doch die schöne neue Welt läßt auf sich warten.
Sequels to liriaen's memorable Algebra in der temporären autonomen Zone Cyberpunk HP AU. They've defeated Voldemort and his evil corporation, but all is not well – especially not with Draco's hard- and software. This is still the most original HP-Alternate Reality I've ever seen, not to mention the best written. *And* the third part of 'Coda' is just out, so I'll have something to warm my night :).

Thanks for the rec! :))

Oh, I'm so excited you found and liked islandsmoke's story! Her D/s is some of the best in fandom, IMO, and that story deserves much more attention than it's received. :)

Ohhhh - *goggle* Thank you kindly, dear! :) I hope the gentle glow of antique vacuum tubes (vs. the harsh blue lines of light) kept you suitably entertained last night.

I'm afraid sleep pulled me down before I could even throw the computer on, and the night after I was seen madly editing my daily_deviant piece for Friday (all 40 pages of it, *kicks bloody fic*). I promised myself reading time on the weekend, though. Well, how do they say, Vorfreude and all :).

[liriaen.livejournal.com]

You're insanely busy, lady! :) *in awe*
It won't run away, it's not like anybody reads the damn thing either, so, oh well. *weeps a bit* I just hope to get chapter 4 to the betas before I head to Rome so I can post the finale well before Deathly Hallows. Watch me flail...

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

Well, you can flail as much as you like if the last part is out before DH :).
*snuggles*
