More Rectober recs
Oct. 31st, 2015 06:19 pmHorribly lurgied, but sniffling in to try to get these up, even if much later than I'd like.
First of all, a non-HP fic rec:
The Path of Wolves, by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
trobadora. Little Red Riding Hood/female Big Bad Wolf, mature rating.
As soon astrobadora mentioned this prompt to me I started looking forward to the fic. I love this take on the fairy tale, from the spooky beginning (see, perfect thing to read tonight!) to Grandmother, to Lou, the mysterious stranger in the village/Big Bad Wolf that I'd run off into the woods with any day - it's not just you, Little Red *g*. Wonderful <3
Over in HP land,![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
minerva_fest continued (and finished, wah) as strongly as it started - I recommend checking everything out as it's all well worth it. Reccing everything individually isn't terribly helpful, though, so I'm forcing myself to stick with my favourites. I hope I didn't miss anything, I will check back later since my brain is all over the place, but I'm not sure what time the reveals will go up.
ART: The Headmistress's Portrait, Minerva, G.
Perfectly done and full of character. Just exactly what you want for a portrait of Minerva!
ART: A well-earned break Minerva, Pomona, Hooch and Poppy, G
There's something very cheering about this little scene with four witches, their newspaper, a cat and a roaring fire. I'm still smiling despite the lurgy :)
FIC: A Witch Indeed, Minerva and Hermione, PG
A lovely story of Minerva visiting Hermione's family to inform them of her place at Hogwarts. Completely engrossing from start to finish.
FIC: Sense and Persuasion Minerva, Poppy and others, PG
Completely delightful Austen-ed up witches. I could read this forever.
FIC: Parting Gift, Minerva/Millicent Bagnold, Elphinstone, PG-13
Lovely characterful writing with some great ideas to make sense of Minerva's back story - and certainly make it a whole lot more interesting. Loved this.
