September through now

[ekaybee]

Hi everyone! Boring Things have kept me busy since September, and I've had zero time to read fic (or see art, etc). But now I have a scrap of free time and want to catch up on all the good R/S I've missed. So...who can direct me to the crème de la crème of all R/S activity since September or so?

Many thanks!

I enjoyed A Second Chance by moonypads.

Summary: After dying some wizards are given the option to be reincarnated. They get to live out their lives without their memories until their 12th birthday, at which time all of the memories of their past life and who they are return. The problem is that when you are offered the choice you say "yes" or you say "no" and you don't get find out what any of your friends have answered...

Notes: I messed around with the time-line a bit to do this. Some people lived after the Battle of Hogwarts and some people's birthdays were moved.
By the way, the link goes to the new archive she founded!

Back to when it all falls apart was uploaded on August 30th but it’s great!

Summary: “I’m afraid I’m not a very good story-teller,” Remus said, tipping his head back against the chair. The fraying edges tickled the back of his neck, and the alcohol let him pretend it was night spun into silk. “I feel as though I’ve cheated you beginning in medias res - in the middle of things - but it’s the only way I know how to tell it. You see, I can’t bear to begin at the beginning. We were all so happy then.”

And I think this is the most romantic R/S story I’ve ever read.

And I read this by Cackles the Witch the other day and loved it!

The Marauders take in their first muggle movie, a porn film!

And this is also a great and worthwhile multi-chapter read:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4127167/1/The_Secret_Keepers
After completing school Harry Potter returns to Grimmauld Place and discovers letters written to him from Sirius Black, but never mailed. These letters shed light on Sirius’ short, tragic life, including the Black family history, his time at Hogwarts, the early years of the Order, his friendship with James, and his relationship with Remus Lupin. It will also expose the secrets kept by the various characters that affect their futures. This is not a fluffy romance fic. While the main romantic storyline is slash, the story will tie into H/G and R/T as it moves forward, in keeping with the canon. The timeframe is post-Hogwarts with letters written during OOTP that take the action back to the Marauder era.

I love that you recced me! ^-^

I second A Second Chance. Like I said, there are a lot of great stories at blacklupin.org but this has to be my favourite. It even comes with art!

And speaking of art, just remembered another lovely piece by nk_aoede from the rs_games, Jitters.
