ETA: JESUS, I left off the main thing I wanted to rec! (That's what I get for posting while talking on the phone with my mother.)
traintracks wrote HP fic for me!!!
The Fang (Bill/Charlie, NC-17, rimming) It is ridiculously hot and gorgeously angsty and perfect in all ways, basically. ♥ Thanks again!
Quick book rec:
The Master Butchers Singing Club by Louise Erdrich. I just finished this book and really enjoyed it. It takes place mostly in a small town in North Dakota during the years from the end of WWI through 1954. There's a sprawling cast of characters whose lives intertwine in various ways, and they all felt real and flawed and human. Gorgeous prose, as I've come to expect from Erdrich, and a luminous ending.
