the 2000's called, they want your obsession back?

[wanttobeatree]

On the one hand, I spent my day languishing woozily in a variety of horizontal positions.

On the other, I filled said languishing with a HARRY POTTER BOOKATHON. Oh my god. I'm halfway through PoA now and I just. I just. My heart. I've not read the early books since, yknow, secondary school. I'd forgotten how much of a sarky little git Harry was

Hm. Why not check the big bang archives? Surely they sort by pairing.

o wait it is only H/D sry

[wanttobeatree]

Is there a general HP bigbang? I only ever knew the original H/D one so WAVES HANDS AROUND PERPLEXEDLY

oh snaaaap. though I might reread some of them anyway. My love for H/D is just as strong, but also easier to navigate.

[elizardbits]

idk I have never seen one aside from the h/d because frankly I do not see the need for any other pairing OBVSLY. you heretic.

I HAVE ROOM ENOUGH IN MY HEART FOR TWO OTPS OKAY.

This was me like, four years ago. I fell back in love with HP right before the 7th book came out, and read them all back-to-back in the space of a week. I recall reading a bunch of Remus/Sirius fic, but I don't remember them ;_; This was before I really bookmarked fic (I still do a shoddy job of it tbh) and I wasn't ever in the HP fandom, just lurked a bit.

Surely you've read The Shoebox Project? Altho honestly, it's not even fanfic for me, it's canon.

[wanttobeatree]

Oh maaaan I've spent the last four years telling myself 'oh boy I must reread all the books again!' but never quite getting round to it (though I do periodically fall back in love with H/D and reread all my old favourites which I was a lot better at remembering than my R/S ones.)

WELL OF COURSE I HAVE READ SBP WHO ON THIS EARTH HAS NOT but I went right off it towards the end. Lost patience with the flakiness and the Americanisms. idk I might try it again now I have ~distance and ~desperation

[radiophile]

GRRR LJ ATE MY COMMENT >:C I wrote some good stuff, too. R00D, LJ.

Anyway, go check out sam_storyteller's fic! I just remembered them. I spent a few weeks reading ALL of their HP fic, and they have tons of R/S.

[wanttobeatree]

I don't know if I will ever love anything as much as I love Harry Potter. I KNOW THE FEELING. I mean, I have drifted through something like over 30 fandoms in my days and nothing draws me back like HP does *_*

HAHAHAHA NO IT WAS NOT. I've never had anything to do with James/Sirius, nor did I play in snitched, you're getting so confused. You came over to my LJ from Sazz because of SPN things and me generally seeming delightful, no HP involved at all xD

[wanttobeatree]

NO HUZZAH FOR JAMES/SIRUS. SIRIUS/REMUS IS THE PUREST AND TRUEST AND MOST TRAGICEST OF THE MARAUDERS LOVES *throws down a glove*

[musical_emjay]

OH MY GOD HERE IS ME TRYING TO REMEMBER ALL MY FAVORITE R/S AUTHORS AND FAILING MISERABLY :|

Umm, okay:
-Everything by rageprufrock,
-xylodemon's stuff here (for all your porny needs)
-I know you've read Shoebox, but if you haven't read Jaida's other HP stuff, you absolutely should here. Her epic Coeur de Loupe was the first slash fic I read EVER, so maybe I'm remembering it overly fondly, but I'm sure it (and the other stuff) holds up pretty well
-anniesj's stuff here (scroll down toward the bottom)
-In Curves, Not Angles by casirafics was definitely a favorite, as was Gryffindor No. 1 (although this is definitely NOT for everyone -- it's based on the premise of Gangster No. 1, a film that David Thewlis was in, and is thus full of a lot of unpleasantness, but the writing was spectacular and the relationship between Remus and Sirius was suitably intense, so, MAYBE?)
-stuff by musesfool here (scroll down to the start of her "sirius/remus" tag, she's got stories sorted by era and such) -- OH, and she also does recs here, so there should be some good stuff there too

Also, crack_van is

[poor_choices]

...so I just spent an embarrassingly long time wondering where the fic called "Everything" was on rageprufrock's page. I was like, "IS IT A SERIES CALLED EVERYthi...oh I get it."

[musical_emjay]

BAHAHAHA, oh god, you know that's so funny because when I went back and looked at the comment I was like, "....hmm, that kind of looks like I'm reccing a fic called 'Everything', doesn't it?" SO I DON'T BLAME YOU XD

[poor_choices]

IT WAS A HIGH MOMENT IN MY LIFE :Dd

[sadcypress]

I will be STALKING THIS POST, because YOUR NEEDS ARE MIIIIIINE.
