Fic Recs, Site Rec and Beta Query

Fic Recs:
I came across two absolutely brilliant pieces over the weekend:

Stealing Harry by Sam Vimes copperbadge [Sirius/Remus, R]
Summary: What would happen if Lucius Malfoy got to Peter before Sirius did?
And if Sirius followed his godson, forbidden to do more than watch him from a distance? Until, one day, Harry found Padfoot... Meet an eight-year-old Harry Potter, a Sirius Black who never went to Azkaban, a Remus Lupin with a steady income, a Severus Snape who can't help liking his archnemesis' son, and a Peter Pettigrew who thinks he could be the next Voldemort...
I'm *not* a fan of Sirius/Remus! So far, even at its best it has slightly bored me, but this AU with its wonderful young Harry and its brilliant plot has blown me away like nobody's business - and I'm only halfway through yet :). Won't do to devour such a good thing too quickly.

Get There Faster by Jintian (hesychasm) [Harry/Ron; NC-17]
Summary: Post-OOTP. Harry prepares for the next round.
The most vivid 'tempted by the Dark Arts' story I've ever read, and one that balances plot, character and smut so well it's near-unbelievable. And her Harry is so canonical he could have stepped right out of the end of OotP... amazing.

Site Rec:
For the two at most who haven't seen it yet, the FAP has a new Meta/Intertextuality discussion forum that looks extremely interesting.

Beta Query:
Anybody interested in beta-reading an about 2500 word pornish_pixies wannabe fic (Harry/Lucius, NC-17) in a few days' time, for, ahm... realism of the smut, grammer and style?

ETA: thanks! found two poor victims volunteers ;).

*hugs* adela711, because!
