things.
Big hugs to those who listened to my working-on-Christmas-Eve whinge. Your good vibes went to a good cause; I was switched to a morning shift, which I just finished.

Allow me to point you to a few shiny things -- mostly art, as I'm horribly behind in the fic department:

FIC:

- but he frowned like thunder and went away by jamesly. [Remus/Sirius, PG]

This is wonderfully bittersweet and painful. Here we have a Remus/Sirius relationship that didn't work out, and it's perfectly achy, because if a Remus/Sirius relationship didn't work out, this is precisely how and why -- because of boyish bravado and an inability to communicate. Actions only speak louder than words when the person on the receiving end is willing and able to listen.

- Goat Song by anon. [Aberforth/Snape, NC-17]

This is fantastic. Simply fantastic. It's the peek inside Aberforth's head I've been wanting since DH -- complete with commentary about Albus. Snape is wonderfully done, and the writing is amazing.

If you want more fic, snegurochka_lee and themostepotente have recs here and here.

ART:

- The Ecstasies of Flying, Floating and Falling by anon. [Harry/Draco, R]

This is far too beautiful for words. Far too beautiful.

- A Snaco Vignette by anon. [Snape/Draco, NC-17]

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

- Ink Stains by jadis31. [Remus/Sirius, PG-13]

This is an illustration for wook77's Life Through Ink Stains, and it is love.

- Which One, Sir? by kasche. [Remus/Sirius, PG]

In case you haven't noticed, kasche is quietly buying my soul, one image at a time. See things like Mirror in the Bathroom for details. This is gorgeous. I want to keep Remus' perfect little arse for myself, and the look on Sirius' face is priceless.

OTHER:

- pir8fancier has a very interesting post about the difference between HP and LotR here.
