fic rec hp

...Lies in the Rookery, by thamiris,

It's Snape/Lupin, and all I'm saying is that I practically held my breath for the entire fic (it's not that long) and literally did not move until I had finished it. It hooked me with the phrase 'Snape blew in like a black wind' and sinkered me with the final paragraph.

Everything you'd want from slash. So right that it *must* be canon (surely!), so deliciously written, and so very porny.

Hm. I've just read the story (by the way: the first HP fic I've ever read) and, in fact, it's so good that it makes me want to explore new fandom-territory.

And who is responsible for that? You!!

And who is responsible for that? You!!

I can't begin to express just how proud of lobelia321 I am right now.

*beams*

Er. Why do I feel manipulated like the HP-fandom is much more than I can handle?

And, yes, I am proud of Lobelia, too. But for completely different reasons.

*resumes trying not to look at any HP-recs*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

What are the different reasons for being proud?

And why was Laz proud of me to begin with?

And, er, how can one be *proud* of someone for reccing, omg liek *hides head in sand* HP fic???!!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Pathetic, I know.

[lazulus]

Oh! Not in the slightest! You have to remember that new fandoms tend to make you skittish. Or so I'm told...

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

And: it's the first fic I actually managed to find all on my own! Unrecced by human hand! And I was the first to comment on it!

Omg, does this mean I'm turning into a *real* (as opposed to just a pretend) HP fanfic fan????

[lazulus]

I rather think it may mean exactly that... but then again, I may be wrong. heh

Don't worry, dear, I'm sure you'll get over it!

*cackles*

You want more recs???

[piran.livejournal.com]

I feel strangely compelled to say yes.

Erm. But if you rec something as long as Transfigurations you'll scare me. Remember, I'm a HP-neophyte.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

A lot of HP is very long! And one of these days you will read Transfigurations. Until then, here is a shorter story by the same author, resonant8: The Familiar.

And the others I love Hm, all rather long.
