Friday! And time for more HP femslash.
As someone who spent decades as a teacher, I'm very squeamish about teacher/student relationships in fanfic. But when the student no longer is -- and when someone writes a teacher/(former) student pairing as beautifully and skillfully as the always-excellent Pauraque, I'm all over it.
Title:
Nine Ways of Looking at a BookAuthor:
pauraquePairing: Minerva McGonagall/Hermione Granger
Word Count: ~1600
Author's Summary: Hermione has come back to Hogwarts to teach history. She finds herself looking to the future, too.
Why I Love It: I'm a sucker for
a) book!fic
b) titles based on poems [I confess that I've written a fic using this particular Stevens poem myself] c) McGonagall, McGonagall, Minerva McGonagall. . . Her-r-r-r-r-MIONE!
d) And did I mention that it's beautifully written?
(Disclosure: This fic was my gift in the 2016 Kinky Kristmas fest at Daily Deviant. Thank you again for this gem, dear Pauraque!)
