For today's slightly belated Friday rec (I suppose it might still be Friday in Hawaii, but *ulp* it's 2 AM Saturday in California uber alles), I offer a smorgasbord of art!

 Today's rec is from akatnamedeaster:

I was looking for something a bit off the beaten path to rec today and I believe this fits the bill. This one is from Daily_Deviant back in 2010. The characterizations of both Minerva and Sirius are spot on here and make this extremely unusual pairing believable; besides, it's always nice to see Minerva let her hair down and what better guy to do it with? Short and sweet and very well written!

Title: Why Must I Chase the Cat?
Author: ozma_katiebell
Characters/Pairings: Sirius Black/Minerva McGonagall
Rating: R
Kinks/Themes Chosen: thalpotentiginy (arousal by feeling warmth or heat)
Other Warnings: Big damn age gap. Set OOTP era.
Word Count: 2959
Summary: Azkaban has seriously messed with Sirius' metabolism. Unfortunately, someone just stole the warmest spot in the house. Damned felines.
Author's Notes: Gah, if only these two were closer in age, I'd write them all the time. I love them together.

For this week's Friday Rec, I have for you one fic and a couple of artworks.

Title: Anatomy of a Prank
Author: xylodemon
Characters/Pairings: Marauders, Severus Snape (gen)

Shoulder to Shoulder by =Gold-Seven on deviantART

Blame figliaperduta for the delay. It's all me. I make it up to you this week with something (relatively) short, and also that's tied in to this week's meta post!

Title: The Dog and His Boy
Author: planetgal471, who is apparently better known as rhye
Artist: Deathjunke
Characters/Pairings: Sirius, Harry, Remus, various people at Hogwarts, and the Dursleys. Light Sirius/Remus, but only at the very end.
Rating: PG
Word Count: 32,282
Author's Summary: After the canon events of October 1981, Sirius is not captured by Aurors. He transforms into his animagus form, and he follows Harry to the Dursleys'. Harry grows up with the feisty Padfoot as his best friend and companion and thus, when he is accepted into Hogwarts at his 11th birthday, he refuses to come unless he can bring his dog as his familiar. Once at Hogwarts, Snape is behaving suspiciously and mysteries unfold. Can Padfoot prevent harm from befalling the boy he thinks of as his own son? Does Dumbledore suspect that Padfoot is more than just a dog?

( fig's Notes... )

 First, a modly note: The Dog Days of Summer Kink Meme was supposed to have started this week but unfortunately my hands were full with a house load of sick people which left little time for getting things together. The Kink Meme will start on Sunday barring any unexpected circumstances on my end.

 All right, with that out of the way here's today's rec which comes from  akatnamedeaster and is something a bit different than my usual slashy fare. So here's a little something short n' kinky from daily_deviant in 2011 to start the weekend.

Title: Bath Time
Author: inamac
Characters/Pairings: Petunia Dursley/Sirius Black
Rating: NC17
Kinks/Themes Chosen: bathing/washing (with elements of a dangerous situation and silence)
Other Warnings: Bestiality
Word Count: 2300
Summary/Description: Harry is not the only one to encounter a black dog in Privet Drive.
Author's Notes: It was interesting being inside Petunia's head – she's really not that bad when you get to know her... (Thanks to
lil_shepherd for casting an eye over the SPAG and continuity of this, the peculiarity of style is entirely my fault.)

(My comment: Not a pairing I would have credited but damn, that was fantastic. I love the way you portray Petunia shedding her repression in this and your Sirius is incredibly sexy.)

shyfoxling here this week! I hope it's kosher to do another Snack rec now since it's been a month since the last one...

Author: nehalenia
Title: On the Taming of Wild Creatures (link is to post 1 of 4)
Alternate link: On The Archive at the End of the Universe
Characters: Severus/Sirius
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: teenage sex, strong language, hurt/comfort, abuse of a manticore
Summary: Even when he should have been too old for such things, Sirius entertained, now and again, the sweet, unspoken fantasy of one day finding and taming some fierce creature -- some skittish, trembling, dangerous thing; all nerves and pride, all twitching flanks and tangled, silken mane – that no one else could have.
Word count: ~22,000
Author Notes: Prompt: 65. Marauder Era - Severus/Sirius' first time, supergraphic please! No hatesex. This was supposed to be short, right? But I can't seem to do a short Snack-fic. Just doesn't happen. Hopefully this meets the "super-graphic" specification.

Today's recs come from akatnamedeaster.

This Friday is devoted to filthy, filthy adult art, so mind the links; all of them are NWS! As always we invite people to drop their own recs in the comments.

This week, I'm specifically interested in some explicit Remus/Sirius art. As popular a pairing as Wolfstar is I've noticed that adult Remus/Sirius art is hard to come by, but not being a RS/SB shipper I'm probably not looking in the right places. Help a pervy curious mod out.

And of course, any other recs are welcome as well!

( The Good Stuff )

California correspondent shyfoxling here. For this week's Friday rec I'd like to offer a sampler of fanart in keeping with the theme of this week's discussion post, Sirius & Remus! There's some gen and some slash. Thumbnails behind the cut are all worksafe. ( Art this way! )

As always, we invite you to leave fic or art recs of your own in the comments! (They can be anything featuring Sirius; doesn't have to be Sirius & Remus.)

This rec is by figliaperduta, the Silent Mod (at least until now).

The fact that I'm recommending it here could be construed as a spoiler; however, the character tags for the story also spoil the surprise.

Title: Promises Unbroken, and sequels
Author: Robin4
Characters/Pairings: Ensemble cast, but focuses on Sirius, Remus, James, and Peter.  Gen.
Rating: T (PG-13, essentially)
Author's Summary: Sirius Black remained the Secret Keeper and everything he feared came to pass. Ten years later, James and Lily live, Harry attends Hogwarts, and Voldemort remains…yet the world is different and nothing is as it seems. AU, updated for HBP.
Word Count: 170,882 for the first story, plus two sequels that are 227k and 213k respectively.  Plus an entire universe of side stories, some of which delve into the history of this particular canon.

( fig's comments this way... )

 Today's rec comes from akatnamedeaster:

 Today's rec is from Daily_Deviant way back when, in 2008 by the always fantastic twilightsorcery. The figure drawing here is beautiful and while we can't see all of Sirius' face it's not hard to fill in the blanks and imagine what it must look like from the other side of the room. Art is NWS.

 As always, feel free to share your own recs in the comments.

Title: Treasure Hunting at Grimmauld Place
Artist: twilightsorcery
Media: Photoshop
Characters: Sirius Black
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: crossdressing, strap-ons (although, admittedly, no one is on the driving end), wanking, narcissism
Themes/kinks chosen: corsets, penetration toys
Artist's notes: Sirius discovers that previous Blacks are quite as pervy as he is.

 This week's rec comes from akatnamedeaster. As always we encourage members to share their own favorites in the comments.

I debated whether to post this particular rec this week since my last rec was a Sirius/Severus. I do have other Sirius-centric pairings in my favorites folder and I don't want to give the impression that every rec I'm going to give will be Snack.

However, I love this story to bits so I'm tossing those concerns aside and reccing it anyway.

Mpreg and Snack are two things I wouldn't normally put together in the same sentence, in fact, it almost seems to be the antithesis of what anyone would expect from this pairing. I'll come right out and say it, Mpreg, I don't want to say squicks me, but the idea causes my suspension of disbelief cable to snap and most that I've ventured to read tends to showcase the worst cliche's about pregnancy along with being overly schmoopy. Plus, I find pregnancy and all that goes along with it as unappealing as it gets. I generally avoid Mpreg like the plague.

Excerpt: The Dog kissed him, just lightly—a brush of lips only, and Severus had to stomp down all that swelled up within him and stand stark still in his grasp.

“…Don’t,” he managed. “This is…this is difficult enough, already. Tea—I just want tea. Tea…would be...pleasant.”

The Dog smiled. Hung Severus’ heart on a brilliant star in passing, by the bye. It was…earth-shattering, effortless—not nice.

Okay, enough gushing, go read!

Title: ‘In Which Severus Snape Throws a Tizzy'
Alternate link on AO3.
Author: tigersilver
Pairing(s)/character(s): Sirius Black/Severus Snape
Rating: NC-17
Prompt# Sirius and Severus have a casual affair (hate-sex if you like). None of them seems to be able to stop it–until Severus learns he is pregnant. However only wizards with a strong emotional connection (aka LOVE ♡) can conceive! Take this wherever you want: Does Severus change his behaviour towards Sirius? Does he tell him? Or not? Squicks: Bottom!Sirius and sad endings ;) for carolinelamb
Word Count: 13,000
Summary: Severus Snape indulges in a brief fit of ‘mental’. What!? He’s a pregnant male war hero, up the duff by a damned Dog—he’s allowed!
Warnings: Highlight to read*Mpreg, blathering and Ballistic!Snape. *
Disclaimer: Own nothing but what is clearly not canon.
A/N: Too many words, too few sexy times, sorry. Much fussing. My thanks and apologies to the kindest of Mods, for allowing an extension.

This week's Friday rec comes to you courtesy of shyfoxling. (shyfoxling: when it absolutely, positively has to be silly and sarcastic. Accept no substitutes.)

We invite any and all members to drop off a rec of their own in the comments! Gen, slash, and het all welcome, any pairing, please warn for anything NWS.

Today's rec is a long gen oldie-but-a-goodie, written in 2003. The summary and notes are a bit long, so I've put the cut in the middle.
