Rec Me!

Okay guys, help me out. I am in the mood for good, short fic -- specifically drabbles or ficlets under 500 words or so. It can be any pairing (or no pairing), HP or QAF, happy or sad or violent, but I really just want examples of teeny tiny fics that pack a huge punch. I love the lean prose and emotional impact that really good drabbles have

I have some here - http://rian219.livejournal.com/254135.html#cutid1

They're all Remus/Sirius (if not overtly then at least hinting at it), and all around 500 words. :)

Oooh, so many! (And I know I'll get sucked into reading the longer ones too, LOL.) Thank you. :-)

Thank you, Secret :)
I have a list of favorite drabbles in my memories: Here
with my top favorite being "Rescue" by between_names

[secretsolitaire]

Ooh, so many to browse, thank you! I did quickly read that one you mentioned and enjoyed it muchly. :-)

Since you're welcoming self-pimpers... I've written quite a number of drabbles, which you can't find here. Perhaps there are some that are to your taste! :)

[fourth_rose]

...which you can find here. My subconscious seems to be opposed to self-pimping...

[secretsolitaire]

Wow! You have written a lot. I look forward to browsing, thank you. :-)

Ooh, what an intriguing request! *thinks*

There's this, which is one of my favourite Remus/Sirius pieces despite being so short: Black and Gold by musesfool (R/S, PG). There are quite a few nice short pieces at those R/S seasonal prompt comms, btw - dogdaysofsummer and whatever the others were called. :) Same for the pervy_werewolf Lusty Month of May tidbits, many of which are short and sweet because of the must-post-every-day requirement. See Dirty by cmere (Remus/Regulus, NC-17). *purr* ;)

Drabbles... I recall really liking Anniversary at Grimmauld by theladyfeylene (Snape/Lupin, PG)

florahart is a master of short!fic and drabbles, IMO. She's doing one-a-day ficlets right now, in fact, although most are 1,000-2,000 words. She did a couple for the under-1,000 words challenge at erotic_elves last month that were nice.

I like scribbulus_ink's drabbles, too. They always have a clear beginning, middle, and end, all in 100 words - which is so difficult to do. She writes them monthly for flisters' birthdays, if you scroll through her journal.

You know about the drabble comms, of course (lupin100 being a fave, heh, and snape100, snupin100, sirius100, etc).

Oh! And for porn, I'm partial to the memories at pornish_pixies, which aren't up to date, alas, but have some lovely under-1,000 word PWPs, like the come shot challenge... mmm. :)

[secretsolitaire]

Oh yeah!! Silences is one of my favorite bits of porn ever.

homg mine too!! i wish they had their memories better organised over there... :(
