OMG! I Got Fanart!

SQUEE!!!

I'm still utterly, utterly gobsmacked after seeing Alhena's (siamkatze) amazing illustration for my Cat!Harry. My first piece of fanart ever, and it's so very beautiful I sat there stunned for minutes and almost burst into tears.
That's got to be one of my best Christmas presents ever!
Thank you *so* much, Alhena!!!

HAVE A LOOK HERE.

*hops around like mad with sheer delight*

A Shower of RECS

(sorted according to rating):

Ugly by prillalar [NC-17; slash, Marcus/Oliver]
A harsh, psychologically brilliant piece on the attraction of danger... very ambiguous consent, incredibly well executed.

Watch the Tide Turn by Anne Phoenix [NC-17; slash, Harry/Lucius]
For those of us who love Harry/Lucius non-con, by one of the famous mistresses of the pairing (and the genre)... I've waited for another chaptered fic of this kind by Anne for ages! (and those familar with Fureai, Innocence Farewell and Life Flows Red will know what I mean).

The Island by the_dark_twin [R; slash, Remus/Sirius]
A lovely piece featuring scholarly!Remus being tempted away from his books (in a way...) by Sirius. The writing is subtle, and so beautiful that 'fluff' would be a severe insult for this fantastic one-shot.

The Man Who Won November by bruno_greengras [PG-13; gen, pastfic, OCs]
An amazing take on the wizarding world in 19th century London, with the atmosphere of a Victorian fairy tale...

Singing Over the Waters by fpb [PG; gen, Malfoys]
The sequel of my personal favourite of FPB's fics, Harry Potter and the Ice Princess. The former I adore because of the pairing (Harry/Narcissa is *so* rare, and rarely handled so well), and this sequel because of its mythical atmosphere.

Wabi-Sabi by kaiz [G (probably a bit higher); slash, Harry/Snape]
His childhood prepares Harry for seeing the beauty in imperfect things (with a curtsy to gypsyfp who pointed me to it).
