Fiction part 2
As of right now I haven't decided how to organize these posts, but I don't want to lose the information so I'll keep added and re-organize later.
Umbra Nihili by Cluegirl (4 Chapters, NC-17, HP/SB)
http://archive.skyehawke.com/story.php?no=9513
Found (the 2nd time) via Fiction Alley.
Notes: This story is fascinating, in that it's told from a madman's point of view. Now, I love Sirius. He's definitely one of my favorite HP characters, but I don't think there can be much doubt that a dead man confined to interacting w/ Harry's reflection is not sane. Some of the, I want to say metaphors but they are too literal, images are very thought provoking. Harry holding Sirius' "lead". Sirius' thoughts on standing at a cliff looking not toward the drop, but at the horizon.
Cartographer's Craft by Sam the Storyteller (WIP, 23 Chapters, R, HP/SB, RW/HG and RL/NT)
http://www.livejournal.com/users/sam_storyteller/43528.html#cutid1
Found via painless_j 's flist
Notes: I never read WIPs. At least not on purpose. But I just couldn't help myself. Sam the Storyteller is the author of "Stealing Harry" as well and I saw how many chapters of CC were posted and just couldn't not read. The only problem is that it took me 2 days to read the 23 posted chapters and now I'll stop by this LJ at least 10 times a day looking for a new post. It's worth it though. This story is good on so many levels. It's the kind of story that is so plausible that I get it confused w/ canon, but still incorporates what makes fan fiction, well, FAN fiction.
Pet by Cluegirl (21,500 words, NC-17, SS/LM)
http://www.livejournal.com/users/cluegirl/482348.html
Found via painless_j's journal
Notes: It's not often that I read this pairing, but when painless_j posted a link while looking for 'teenage Snape' stories I just had to follow. I love stories that fit into the fandom seamlessly. Answering questions about why Snape is the way he is, etc. This one was touching and so angsty. It shows the reader, in perfect definition, that love is not enough. However, I was left w/ a tiny spark of hope for the future.
Severus and The Crup by Josan (36,000 words, R, HP/SS)
http://www.angelfire.com/zine2/josan/hp/crup.html
Found via Fiction Alley
Notes: A little fluffy, a little out of character, but very well written. It's a truly beautiful view of starting over. Being able to be thankful for whatever is given and letting go of past resentments. Leaves me feeling warm and fuzzy.
