paulamcgBefore I start writing fic after a break for just reading and commenting (and eating mince pies, which my eldest son's girlfriend brought from London), two more recs.
One of my favourites on R/S Small Gifts (which will continue posting tomorrow by posting bonus gifts) is
Abed, After Moonset (PG-13) by mustntgetmy.
(This is my comment in the community:) The slow, detailed descriptions enthrall me to believing that this is truly what Remus is sensing at the moment and what he’s experienced before. I wouldn’t like to believe that he’s stubborn enough to go on refusing help. But we love comforting him with Sirius, don’t we? It’s wonderful how their conversation is not melodramatic at all but fun banter about socks and snoring. (Oh, I can’t help loving the details about Remus’s feet!) Bittersweet and beautiful and real! And the last line – I adore it.
At the fabulous Hoggywartyxmas I’ve been thoroughly enchanted by the longest fic posted so far,
The Weighing of the Wands (R) by Anonymous.
From a simple canon scene the writer has extrapolated a rich, deep story. There’s amazing magic: detailed wandlore treated like art, true magical art. There’s a touching depiction of an evolving relationship between two men, whose characterisations acquire new dimensions and nuances. And it all illuminates some most essential canon issues as well. An enviably excellent fic.
