Horribly 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] trobadora. Little Red Riding Hood/female Big Bad Wolf, mature rating.
As soon as [personal profile] trobadora 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] 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.

I'd better start with [personal profile] hp_drizzle since the reveals are coming up first:

FIC: In the arms of an ocean, Sirius/James, PG-13 but by no means harmless.
This starts out dreamy and hazy before descending into madness. I love this pairing, but considering the huge potential for it I don't think I've read many on the dark side. I love it to bits.

ART: Shower, Snape/Black, G.
Yeah, this is my life on a daily basis (times two)! Lots of fun in a pic, though.

ART: The Lightning Strike, Charlie/Draco, G.
Not my pairing, but definitely my kind of weather. Gorgeous colours.



I was pleased to see [community profile] minerva_fest posting at a time when I have chance to read and rec.

ART: Minerva's Day Out, Minerva/mystery person, R.
Every one of these is perfect. Seriously, unless you can't stand to see Minerva on your screen for some reason, check this one out. Just lovely.

ART: Moonlight Meeting, Minerva, Crookshanks, Sirius, G.
Hmm, a suspiciously familiar style! This time Sirius in human form, but Minerva as a cat. Along with Crookshanks I love their stripiness and the setting is beautifully done too.

FIC: Twist me and turn me, Minerva, PG.
A short fic that managed to surprise me at the end. I'm quite fascinated by the idea of what happens here, and Minerva is fabulous, of course.



[community profile] rs_games has also started posting. I haven't had chance to read many yet, but one summary grabbed me by the throat and I'm so glad it did.

FIC: Any other night, Sirius/Remus, R.
Oh my god. It's another one with a darker look at a pairing that, in this case, is even more rarely explored that way. A great part of that is Sirius's insanity, which yes, is a thing I love to see. But it's so much more than that. It's also sweet, it's funny, and it's dark. It's set in two entirely different places and times, with the moon tying it all together.

I'm not remotely doing it justice, because my feelings about this story can't quite turn themselves into words. Sigh. It's been a few hours and I'm still having trouble thinking about anything else - not because of the pairing or anything shippy, but because of the writing.

Anyway, hurray for getting a Rectober post done for the first week! If you want to join in click on the thingy at the top *waves vaguely*.

Oh, and I put some of my rarer pairing fics in for the remix, so you all need to as well now.
