bironicThis was the first New Year's Eve I can remember that wasn't spent in the company of friends. For various reasons I was left to my own devices tonight and ended up scrolling through the stories from the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shackinup_sesa Remus/Sirius Secret Santa fic exchange. Beautiful stuff; the comm boasts some of the most talented R/S writers on LJ. The authors are supposed to be posted tomorrow, making this the last opportunity to read the fics without knowing who wrote them. Should be fun to find out who did my favorites so far.
First pass, some recs before bed:
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves - Weasley twins/Marauders juxtaposed, achy Remus/Sirius / Remus/Tonks issues, those lovely little details that bring a scene to life, and much quoting of Lewis Carroll.
Oscar Wilde Would Not Approve - In the spirit of setissma's "Outlined Joys," Sirius and Lily team up when Remus starts selling off his beloved possessions to make ends meet.
Walls - Sirius helps Remus recover when their significant others are murdered in a Death Eater attack that may have been meant as a warning for Remus. Slightly disturbing towards the end but it's handled well enough.
A Modern Boy of Beauty - Sirius Black on the day he ran away from home, as seen by a Muggle sharing his train compartment.
The Shortest Distance Between Two People - MWPP meet and mature. Told in seven sections, one for each year at school.
There are more -- heck, there are probably 50 stories in there -- and once the authors are posted I'll probably share more links. For now, enjoy!
