Cardathon & Recs

[such_heights]

Fun multi-fandom activity: buckle_berry is hosting a Valentines Cardathon, whereby you list some pairings, and then send in-character Valentines cards to each other, as imaginatively as you like. I think this is entirely made of win myself, so if you agree, hop-to! Sign-ups end at the end of tomorrow, full details and sign-up information here.

And now, some things I have very much enjoyed reading recently:

Nineteen Years Later: A Short Rock Opera
by furiosity

Title pretty much says it all, really. Featuring characters such as the International Chorus of Pedantic Fanficcers, this is both mad and hilarious.


The Seduction of Sirius Black
by anonymous at hp_holidaygen
PG-13, Sirius, James, Marlene, Lily, Remus, Peter, others
I hope to Merlin that everyone's collective wisdom was very wrong and that neither Sirius Black nor James Potter has been the death of me – try though they may have to have been so.

I've been terrible at reading hp_holidaygen, which I really should rectify over the rest of the week because there's all kinds of amazing stuff there, however. I am so, so glad I clicked on this one. This has pretty much everything that I most enjoy reading in First War fic, all rolled into one story! Featuring James and Sirius getting into pub brawls, international wizarding politics, Polyjuice high jinks and a take on the Order that I really, really like, this is seriously fantastic work.


Baking for the Dead
by trolllogicfics
Supernatural/Pushing Daisies
PG, Ned, Chuck, Sam, Dean
In which the girl called Chuck and the Pie Maker runs across the brothers Winchester and a soul stealing demon.

MADE OF WIN. Can this be the Supernatural finale, please? The Narrator talking about the Winchesters is a joy to read, oh my.

And now to try to one of the things I've been trying to write actually finished, good grief.
