FIC RECS

Here's a handful of fic that impressed me recently:

The Dog Days of Summer (1976) by anonymous [Fenrir/Sirius, hints of Sirius/Remus, NC-17]
Summary: ‘At 16 Sirius had enough of his parents' "pure-blood mania" and ran away to live with James Potter’s parents.’ But is that the whole story?
One of the best darkfics I've seen in ages, not just 'cause the pairing is rare and special, and the plot is intricate with mindfuck at its most perfect, and it dishes up vivid characterisation like nobody's business, but... the writing! Trust me on his, even if pairing and plot are not your thing, give the beginning a shot - it's worth it!

Wall of Glass by waterbird [Harry/Draco, PG-13]
Summary: After the war, Draco Malfoy finds that some battles are just beginning.
A bitter, angry and hurt Draco locked up in Azkaban, a guilty Harry, and a fic that's definitely not a romance, and yet... Clever premise, outstanding characterisation, gritty environment, and excellent writing.

Below the Belt by anguis_1 [Dudley/Millicent, R]
Summary: All Dudley wanted to do was deliver the letter and return to his perfectly normal, relatively pleasant existence. Luckily for him, fate and Millicent Bulstrode intervened.
Ok, I am a huge Millicent fan, and this is *delightful*. Dudley stumbles into wizarding London and ends up helping Millicent spiffing up her, um, flagging shop? Great fun, trust me! *shoos off to read*

A Very Cunning Plan by eeyore9900 [Harry/Draco, NC-17]
Summary: Narcissa calls on a war hero to save the Malfoy name... then the Malfoy name (okay, okay, it's really Draco) calls on the war hero for some /hummuna hummuna/. ::wink, nudge::
Narcissa here rocks too much for words, and the H/D sparkles without taking itself too seriously. A fun, hot, entertaining romp of a fic.

Subtle :).

Look, don't take this the wrong way, but there's a lot more fic out there than I could ever read even if I could dedicate all my waking hours to it, which, sadly, is not in the books any time soon. And while I honestly liked quite a few of your stories, the majority is, on a purely subjective level, not quite my cup of tea. So well, since I don't feel duty-bound to read your fic as I would with a close friend, I tend to rather read stories I know I'll like. No insult intended - our tastes are just very different.
