Springtime_gen recs for weeks four and four and a half
Final set of recs in what has been a highly enjoyable fest as both a writer and a reader. If nothing here takes your fancy, have a look at the comm anyway, because a huge variety of stuff has been posted.
Dangerous Jobs for Girls, Luna Lovegood, Andromeda Tonks, Astoria Malfoy (PG, 3,800 words). Summary: Sinister goings-on at the Ministry? It's up to The Quibbler to unearth the truth!
Lots of fun, and a very refreshing take on Luna.
The Friar's Calling, the Fat Friar (pre-ghost), Sir Cadogan (pre-portrait), famous witches Ignatia Wildsmith and Bridget Wenlock, one or two historical characters and a few recognisable ancestors (PG, 12,895 words). Summary: Long before the Statute of Secrecy, when Kings still sought counsel from wizards and scholars debated magic at the great centres of learning, England seethed as her nobles struggled to check the power of the King - and one young friar found his new path taking an unexpected turn.
A lovely take on the Fat Friar, featuring an adorable Sir Cadogan and a fascinating subplot regarding a certain magical invention.
Till Your Frightened Eyes Do Close, Luna Lovegood, Mr Ollivander (PG-13, 3,700 words). Summary: Albus Dumbledore once said: "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." For Mr Ollivander, having Luna come join him in captivity was like finding a switch.
One of my favourites (and they're hard to pick in this fest because so much is so good): a beautiful, moving story set during captivity.
And some art for good luck: Loyal (Sirius, rated G). Gorgeous, whimsical Sirius.
The poll for guessing authors and artists is now up, for anyone with theories!
