Translation & ficrecs
*Ahem*
Vous savez tous combien j'aime et j'apprécie Sirius Black? *observe les sourcils levés et les regards interrogateurs* Voilà, on est bien d'accord. Alors, si je vous dis que j'ai traduit une ficlet sur lui, qu'est-ce que vous en déduisez?
(La bonne réponse, c'est: parce que je trouve ce texte exceptionnellement bon.)
C'est là: Sept façons dont les mots peuvent blesser
I was updating my masterlist of translations when it occurred to me that I hadn't pimped the incredible stories I've found recently.
20 Random Facts about Michael Corner, by kaymbee. Because I love the "20 random things" fics, and this one is about a character so quiet in the background that I had no idea of who he was before. I like the young man kaymbee has imagined.
The Seriously Secret Diary of Theodore Remus Lupin, by emiime I'm on a not-so-secret quest to promote Percy and the Percy/Harry ship, and this fic is a perfect argument, because Harry isn't so much of a hero for once, Percy is terribly in character, and Teddy's hilarious observations and sharp tongue are a wonderful addition to the mix.
Let No One Put Asunder, by sophinisba This is a fic focusing on Parvati and Padma Patil, some years after the end of the war. They have been apart, Padma living in India with their parents while Parvati stayed in Britain. They are still close, but it isn't the same, and this fic tells about the passing of time and family and belonging to a country and how fascinating learning can be and... it's a wonderful piece, and I can't seem to do it justice with mere words. Go and read it!
Foxtrot, by emiime A sweet vignette on Harry, Percy, and some dancing...
Seven Ways Words Can Hurt, by lindsey_grrl It's a Sirius Black fic. That I mention it should be a clue, because I don't usually like the man. It's short, and well written, and it made me so sad for Sirius.
