RECS (assorted)

[bronze_ribbons]

Taking an opera-and-fic break before descending back down into the markup mines. Sixty-hour work-weeks aren't conducive to revising or finishing plotty stories, alas.

However, I can at least point you towards good stuff by others -- particularly the mighty fine fest-work I got to peek at before the rest of y'all:

"The Power of Three"(Snape/Lupin/Hermione, NC-17, 4K)

"Dear Aunt Snape" (Snape, Luna, PG-13, 4K?)
http://marginaliana.livejournal.com/393867.html

"As Simple As That" (Snape/Lupin)
http://busaikko.livejournal.com/67327.html (main story, 9K, PG-13)
http://busaikko.livejournal.com/66819.html (epilogue, 4K, NC-17)

"Boys True Confessions" (Snape/Lupin, NC-17, 13K)
http://busaikko.livejournal.com/66756.html


...and, a couple of stories I had nothing to do with, but especially enjoyed just now:

"Till Break of Day" (Remus/Sirius/Tonks, NC-17, short) by kassrachel

No, not my usual choice of threesome, but I really liked the characterisations here.

"Don't Fear the Reaper" (Lupin/_____, NC-17, 3K) by Anon
http://community.livejournal.com/dearsanta/28407.html
Summary: It's New Year's Eve, and Remus finds himself with an unexpected companion.
I adore the opening paragraph of this:

It was too much solitude and champagne that drove Remus to chat up Death. He knew it was a stupid thing to do even as he did it, but he had been alone for far too long, and he was ready to put an end to his isolation, even if it was only for one night.
