Dabbling in recs
Nov. 28th, 2006 10:23 pmI was looking at the entries in my recs tag, and thinking that my Awesome Fics bookmark folder has a few more which could be shared, definitely.
I'm not a reccer, actually, but once in a while I like to share a link. I'll try to list out my Awesome Fics folder in the next couple months. Some of them are older fics, still fantastic, and hopefully someone will find a good read through this.
One of my favorite fics to re-read is Third Time's the Charm, a snupin story (with RW/DM subplot) by Helen. It displays a stunningly dry wit, it's a nice long length without being epic, and it's quite hilarious and full of beautifully understated emotion. It really is one of my favorite fics, ever. It's simply terrific, totally absorbing and engrossing, and I really do adore it. It's an R, definitely, maybe NC-17, there isn't a rating on the page...but I don't remember anything super explicit.
Oh, and it's completely AU because it's an older fic, but it's still lovely.
A sample:
Severus drew in a breath. "You have permission to go to the hospital wing," he said, spelling some dust motes quickly together, setting them hovering, emitting a faint blue glow, over Weasley’s shoulder.
"What’s— " Potter said.
"That," Severus said, "is the sign that a student is authorized to be out of his dormitory after curfew. I must say, it doesn’t surprise me that you have no idea what it is."
