2 Big Bang Recs
Ok, I have two Big Bang recs!! w00t!!! \o/
It was hard to narrow it to two. ALL the BB fics this year were A M A Z I N G!!
If you haven't read any of them yet, I suggest you get a case of Proseco, lock the bedroom door for the weekend, and knock yourself out. You will not be disappointed. Truly this year's submissions were all very well written and also quite original! (And yes you can be quite original...just like you can be more unique...shut it). :D
I picked these two because they stood out as being truly original, creative, and engaging pieces with well-written narratives that flow so smoothly that the reader becomes completely absorbed in them. They are both great pieces of writing and also great pieces of reading...just good yummy fics.
Title: The Play's The Thing!
Author: tigersilver
Summary: Harry Potter is not happy with the life he’s landed in. He’s trained to be an Auror, was invited to be one, but now he’s considered too valuable-and too powerful-to be allowed out in the field. He faces a life of paperwork and filing, migraine headaches and the petty miseries of being a desk jockey. Draco Malfoy has just returned to his native England from Romania, where for a few years he worked his tail off at the Dragon Preserve. Now he requires a paying position and Malfoys are still somewhat persona non grata. Fortunately he has good friends, and among them are three lively Witches: the daft, wifty yet strangely prescient Luna Lovegood, the scheming, fun-loving and irrepressible young Ginevra Weasley and the amazingly brainy and well-organized Hermione Granger. The three Witches have together cooked up a real cauldron-boiler of an idea: forming a troupe of Players, as yet Nameless, for the purpose of presenting theatricals to the Wizardingwizarding folk, to entertain and to distract. For the play’s the thing, as the Bard once said, and the world is in need of some enjoyment.
Title: Long Hours of Constant Darkness

Summary: The effects of climate change are happening faster than anyone thought they would, so Hermione sends Harry to Antarctica to investigate. But when Harry meets the team he'll be crossing the ice with, he thinks he's already found the source of the problem: Draco Malfoy. On the ice, you must rely on your team and Harry and Draco become friends. But with everything that's gone wrong in his life of late, can Harry trust Draco? Or even his own feelings?
