Jetlag has one huge advantage - I've managed to more or less catch up at hp_beholder during the hours when I should have been sleeping.

I was going to compile a recs post for my favourite HP_beholder stories and art, but realised that there were too many to fit into one post. So I'm going to take them a couple at a time and try and post every day or two.

I'll start with one that I beta-read, fell in love with and have been waiting to rec ever since: Quite Some Time Since by mindabbles, ( Read more... )
