FIC REC and Birthdays

Just one rec because I'm so behind on Christmasfic reading it's not funny! But the dreaded cold has me in its slimy claws, and my brain's mush just when I least need it :(.

Suppliance of a Minute by anonymous [Albus/Gellert, NC-17]
Summary: Two months of madness starts with a minute.

The first meeting of Gellert and Albus, by the kissing gate... Wow! The writing is lush and vivid. Shy, lonely Albus and Gellert, who knows what he wants and goes for it come to life in all their beauty and imperfections, and the violets... Wow, again. It's sex as I've never seen it before, and style and characterisation that's all too rare. Can't wait for reveals with that - I had this strong impression of "damn, that's the way XYZ and WVU write, but they're both not playing in the fest... I hate waiting! :)

And again, there are birthdays galore (honestly, people, this is inconsiderate, can't you stop getting older?)
