rec grab bag

[pauraque_bk]

Some things I've been enjoying over the past, er... more than a month. I'm no good at that insta-rec thing some people seem to be able to do.

ST:TNG fic: New Days (G, Deanna-centric ensemble fic) by cosmic_llin
Post-Ethics AU. Following Worf's death, Deanna struggles with her promise to raise Alexander.

   It's rare to read a story that understands grief this well — not just the emotions, but also how families and communities reorganize themselves around the empty space where the person once was.

HP fic: Haunted (R, Lily/Sirius, Lily/James, implied Sirius/James) by writcraft
Dead or alive, Sirius Black has always haunted Lily.

   A beautiful and delicate look at the complexities of this triad, both before and after death.

HP art: Rat (worksafe, Padfoot) by akatnamedeaster
In his dreams, he always catches him in the end.

   All the more powerful for its stark simplicity.

HP silly thing: HP Quotes Taken Out of Context (worksafe) [no creator credited]

   And on a completely different note, if you need a laugh after those three rather serious fanworks, indulge your inner 12-year-old with this! If anyone needs me, I'll be on all fours in Snape's office.

I'm so sorry for the late reply to this, I could have sworn I had thanked you for the rec but clearly not! Anyway, thank you very much indeed - I'm so pleased you enjoyed the fic, it really means a lot.

[pauraque]

No problem! I happen to know that _hannelore loved that fic too, though since she's recovering from elbow surgery it's forgivable that she doesn't seem to have commented. :)

[writcraft]

Oh, yay! Thank you :)

Please wish _hannelore a speedy recovery from me. I hope she gets better soon.

[pauraque]

Will do!

Hi! I just wanted to drop a note to say I've added you, mostly because I love all the fics of yours I've read. (I've recced at least one of them at one_bad_man.) But I hate to add a journal without introducing myself first. :)

[pauraque]

Hey, nice to meet you! I'm flattered you've enjoyed my writing, thanks for letting me know. ♥
