| Merry Recmas! |

Chag Sameach and Happy Christmas or Merry Yule or just Have a Nice Day to all! More recs today. I do plan (mostly b/c I am a total dork) to make a composite report card like last year but I may have to add more later after reveals etc.
Onto the recs:
From ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) hd_holidays there's the 30k delightful Father of the Bride I'll be blunt and say that many of the longer (20-30k) recs that I've seen from other people had me completely baffled. Some were perhaps simply not my cuppa, but many were virtually unreadable (the writing and dialogue stiff and awkward, nothing happening in the first 5000 words to remotely interest me, etc.). Am I a fussy bitch? Maybe... but finally a longer fic that has been garnering recs that I think deserves them. :) This is well written, wonderfully paced, and "put together" fic. I think I spot the writing. I must first thank who ever the author turns out to be for making Lily/Scorpius the marrying couple. B/C I have a bug up my arse when everyone's gay, and AS/S + H/D is becoming overdone and getting hard to stomach. SOOOO THANK YOU. I Loved the Lily dynamic w/ her family (now just dad and protective brothers - I like how Ginny was sadly/not too recently deceased). In general I like this type of canonesque Harry, grown up, but still a protector, still skeptical, still trying to uncover just what Malfoy might be up to. Of course, they can't keep their hands off each other ;) The plot/investigation worked so tightly into the family was well done and happy ending lovers will get their cake (wedding) and eat it too. Go enjoy this lovely story.
From hp_yule_balls the fic Cicatrices is an emotional hurt/comfort Harry/Ron that is truly spot on. The tone and flow of the writing fits perfectly with Harry and Ron realizing what they are to each other and what they want to be. *sigh* go read - it's spot on length at -9k!
I don't typically rec art b/c it takes one second to click and see if you like enough to keep looking - even if it's several panels w/some text, you're going to read. But there are three comic/art-vignette style pieces that I'm going to rec b/c you might see all the writing and not sure if it's worth the extra 10 minutes to read. These three absolutely are. Go enjoy!
From ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bestmates_xmas there's The Time Harry Couldn't Stop Being Naked this so completely original and sweet and will make you smile and so so so vintage Harry/Ron.
From hd_holidays there are two delightful comics:
A Turkey and Some Mistletoe
and
Christmas Orange Curse
And one final ART rec: accioslash who's little comics (especially her rating system) I love to pieces, has posted 25 days of characters that she doesn't typically draw (plus a few she does;) - go enjoy all on her tag here: Countdown to Christmas (she's also on insane journal: http://accioslash.insanejournal.com/) |
