bronze_ribbons: knife with bronze ribbons (snusa 2007 snuggly in the snow)
These both had lines that made me laugh out loud, and they're under 6K:

Then Again, Maybe "I Do"
Author's summary: Remus and Severus are getting married during a major holiday--for very different reasons. (Also, they find out that Hermione Granger is a zealous and alarming wedding planner.)
Rating: PG
Among the things Ribbons enjoyed: Minerva telling Severus, "You sound like every bad prologue to those romances you confiscate from your students."

The Inverse of Hormesis
Author's summary: An improbable meeting in a Muggle bookshop leads Snape and Lupin to re-evaluate one another.
Rating: R
Among the things Ribbons enjoyed: Slow burn, dry narration, droll moments, and exchanges like these:


"What was wrong with my summary?" Lupin said, taking a seat by the fire and indicating that Severus should do the same.

"Everything," Severus replied curtly.

"A bit more specificity would help," Lupin said, with a trace of a smile.

bronze_ribbons: knife with bronze ribbons (feather)
I know at least one of you would kill me if I didn't make sure you were aware that Katharine Kerr is offering several signed editions of her work (including the rare Polar City Nightmare) in the [livejournal.com profile] helpvera auction that's up until 20 December.

I also know that one of you would probably kill me if I purchased this cat-shooter for your partner. I'm still tempted, because seeing it made me laugh out loud, but there's also about twenty other things I could get for them, so I'll probably play it a bit safer. The list of people who want to throttle me is long enough as it is. ;-)
