| fest reccing post #3 :) |

Once again I'm starting my fest reccing post w/a non-fest rec. I've been posting quite a bit a ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) pushdragon taking her wonderful talent and even more wonderful self away from fandom. As a last goodbye she gave us one more installment to the OH SO Amazingly HOT Tale of Horns series. Go read Dragon Riding for Beginners – How the cover boy finally got it It's fantastic and yes, wraps up the series in a very masculine romantic way. I'm going to miss her. Go read all her fics if you haven't (they're recc'd on my favorites list: http://rickey.slashcity.net/favorites.html)
I've read a lot since last week and I've got a few more fest recs.
From bestmates_xmas we have: Parchment which is a short pre-slash Harry/Ron the quality of which I have never seen. It is beautifully crafted. The writing hits the emotional bullseye in this simple tale of what is said and left unsaid. I think I know who wrote this, but will be pleasantly surprised if it's someone else. (and then start stalking them;) This is my Don't Miss fic of the bunch and even if H/R isn't your thing you could read this w/sort of a Gen frame of mind and really enjoy it.
From ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) hd_holidays we have:
My gift fic: The Piano Man and I can honestly say that I'd be reccing this even if it wasn't my "gift". But it was, and the author took a whole bunch of my random prompts (like musician!Draco and meeting in a far off land etc.) and crafted a lovely tight focussed fic (mmmm my favorite kind). My comment: Oh... sigh. This had such a gentle flow and pace to it - very simple and very natural. It had a genuine feel of two people who love each other dealing with disappointment and trying to move forward. Well done. Seriously, go love this wonderfully written fic for grownups.
Angel Wing is truly a sweet feel good fic. There's some delicious humor as well. It's an impeccably written somewhat disenchanted with life Harry caring for his pet goose (wink wink). I like the concept that feelings can develop out of anywhere.
This last H/D rec comes w/warnings. One: It's an infidelity fic and Two: It has the "kink" of sounding. So you need to be able to deal w/those issues. If you can, The Sound and the Fury is a well penned and OMFG Hawt story. I think it's a brilliant smut and kink fic, and it has that extra layer emotion that will make the H/D shipper quite happy.
And as always... If you liked something, leave the author some love. Even "I enjoyed this - thanks" makes us all warm and gushy inside. |
