So I've been reading... a lot the past few days. I'm going to be brutally honest and say that the recs I've got from the fests the past few days are coming w/some caveats. Nothing has blown me away like the two fics I'm going to rec w/out any restraint are one's that aren't from fests at all.
1st up is a fic that I meant to read when it was first posted in October, but it got lost in the shuffle of my big "to read" list and my fest writing. ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) brummell is a fav writer of mine. If you've read Stain of Silence or Arc of the Pendulum, you know why. Her latest Six Ways In Which Harry Potter Was Like Bambi's Dad (And A Few Ways In Which He Wasn't. At All.) is so good and lives up to the light shown by its predecessors. Here's the bottom line. If you read H/D at all, even if it's every once in a blue moon - read this fic (under 7k words). Her writing is always emotionally gripping and well crafted, but more than that... when I read her work I never feel that "I have read so many stories just like this before". It's fresh! and in fanfic that's a special. Yes, there's Mpreg, and the premise sounds cracky (at least the origins of the inspiration for the story) - but this story is real and grounded in a very possible post DH world. Seriously, this was head and shoulders above all the fest stuff I've read the past few days. Top Marks!
After you've read "Bambi's Dad", I give you permission to check the rest of these recs ;P
