Hoggywartyxmas Rec Post
Well, here we are. Posting has concluded for the final Hoggywartyxmas fest. In some ways, a sad time for Hoggywartians, but all good things do indeed have an end, and it is time.

This is a wonderful non-saccharine postwar story of healing of many kinds. 15k and well worth the time.
No spoilers, no hints. Just go and read it.

"Space: Above and Beyond"
This was a series on Fox (The killer of good television) from 1995-1996. I think it's the best Space Opera ever, and has what I believe to be the finest soliloquy ever delivered by a character.
Well-written, well-acted, dirty, gritty, and often violent. It's available on dvd and presumably for streaming, and is well worth a look.

"Dull as Dirt, Brilliant as the Stars"
Not perfect, and as the author states, perhaps not all that it could have been.

It's different, and I think very plausible and touching. It has a very real, raw quality to it.
Definitely worth the time, I think. recsOkay, you need to read this one

This is a monster, in the good way. 3200 words, Marietta/Pansy, and just marvelous.Beholder recs
First, my gift, the absolutely wonderful "The Muggles Have a Word for Them", featuring the Fat Voluptuous Lady and Vi, as well as some other relationships amongst the non-oil-based women of Hogwarts, notably an unexpectedly shy pursuit of Aurora by Rolanda. The characterizations are marvelous, and it is simply a delight to read ( Read more... )
