5 Fic recs, and another...
There's so much brilliant stuff written, it's almost impossible to limit it to five recs. 1. Delineation of a Duellist by inner_slytherin. I love this story – I could read it 100 times and still adore it. There's Remus, broken but shining and so very beautiful. And then Severus, so in love with Remus, and so not saying, but revealing it with every interaction, and all the care he gives Remus. And there's Sirius, smashed, shattered, utterly wasted, and utterly still in love with Remus. I love this fic – it is so perfect. Also available at the Moonshadow archive, where inner_slytherin's user name is Carfiniel.
2. The Snow Palace by snapelike. I wish I could give a link to this – it is wonderful! Sadly, I don't think I can – which is such a shame as snapelike is one of my favorite writers. Snapelike's writing is so deft, so lyrical, so divine – and so unbearably sexy. Reading snapelike's snupin fics invariably reduces me to incoherence… *Can be found at snapelike.com (see my note below).
3. busaikko's R & D series. This series just kills me – every-time I read it. Unbearably sad, unbelievably good, incredibly wonderful.
4. geri_chan's fic Always (and all the stories that follow) – novel length convincing and wonderful AU series – with a brilliantly snarky Severus and a very sweet Lupin. Geri_chan has created a unique and entirely sustained universe with Severus and Lupin at its centre. Brilliant! And it's my ultimate comfort fic – has the capacity to soothe and delight, no matter my mood.
5. And now for something completely different - schemingreader's This Might Take Me a Little Time. Hilariously funny, gloriously written and meltingly sexy! They don't come better than this! Read it, it's wonderful!
I'll give you another brilliant fic to make it 5 stories you can link to: 6. - nehalenia's Possession. Wonderful, wonderful writing! This writing simply awes me with its excellence - I don't have the words to do it justice. Just read it (warnings!).
And that I totally stuffed up on rec number 6, which was in fact written by nehalenia.*cringe* My sincere apologies to both nehalenia and snegurochka_lee.
I know there are 6 recs here - but it did start as 5 linked recs, I promise.
