Friday Rec(s)
For this week's Friday Rec, I have for you one fic and a couple of artworks.
Title: Anatomy of a Prank
Author: xylodemon
Characters/Pairings: Marauders, Severus Snape (gen)
Rating: Teen/PG-13
Word count: 28k + a few in facsimile images of notes and letters
Author's summary: Step by step instructions for those wishing to emulate the incomparable Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs.
My comment: It's no real spoiler to say the prank in question is short-sheeting the beds of all of Hogwarts. There's a lot more hung on and woven around that one little plot fact. Nice pice of humorous gen, that features a Peter who is far from the cliched lump.
Quote: "Whereby, all punishments meted, including but not limited to detentions, banishments, and letters written home, will be served by the accused, without regard to innocence or guilt, lest a fellow Marauder betray one of his comrades in arms," Remus recited, and if he didn't stop reading that book, Sirius was going to beat him about the face and head with it. "Furthermore, all spoils earned, given, or otherwise gained shall be shared equally and without reservation, with the exception of Marmite, tinned fish, invitations to Slughorn's office, and the favours of Lily Evans."
