Rec: The Supervisor's Tale by a_t_rain

[magnetic_pole]

Run, don't walk, directly over to femgenficathon, where a_t_rain has posted the most gentle, witty, and insightful account of Hermione's coming of age/independent project on The Tales of Beedle the Bard under Minerva McGonagall's supervision: The Supervisor's Tale (Hermione, McGonagall, G, 4500 words). This is a story about the moment we stop producing good student work and start doing scholarship, with all the mess and joy and heartache that entails, and I suspect many of you on the flist will resonate with Hermione's growth and McGonagall's struggle to supervise it. Enjoy!

Thanks to kellychambliss for the heads-up on this one.
