dreaminoflorien is a brave, brave soul

Of course you all already know about the Ultimate Fandom Rec, but I would like to draw your attention to a couple of specific fics that need your help! Most of my recs are between pages 27 and 30 with a couple on 33 (and no doubt I'll find some more to stick in).

Mostly they're getting the votes they deserve, but in a couple of cases they're not, so I'm going to pimp now. These are all worthy nominations that I reckon ought to go through but have one or no votes - so vote, or read if you haven't seen it before!

Links take you to their nomination threads.

A Thousand Words, The Love Song Of Remus J. Lupin [seriously, I love this one to a ridiculous degree], 7 Letters and Hope is a thing with feathers...

This really is too much fun...

A wonderful fic I found through dreaminoflorien's fic recs thread

More dogdaysofsummer in a bit, delayed because I had to finish reading this wonderful, wonderful fic.

On FictionAlley, by After the Rain (who I'm assuming is a_t_rain, this did several things I would never have thought possible - made me understand Peter, almost maybe partially forgive him, get me attached to Death Eaters whilst keeping them in-character, and get me choked up at a death I wouldn't have expected (I won't say who, as it is spoilery).

Exploring the Marauders dynamic in a new and interesting way, filling in some of the gaps during the canon years, and extrapolating into the future and what might happen to Peter and Remus, this is highly original whilst managing to fit into canon beautifully.

Enough of my rambling - go and read it! Running Close To The Ground [PG-13, gen aside from mild Peter/OFC] . 12 chapters, but it's an easy read and so very worth your time - the plot rapidly becomes gripping!

Picnic Pit-Stop
PG, 950 words
Remus/Sirius
Summary: On the way to visit James and Lily, Remus and Sirius stop off for a picnic.

( Sirius’ hair is flying back and it’s getting in Remus’ eyes and as the engine roars smoke seems to bypass his mouth and go straight into his lungs. )
