Recity, Rec Rec.

Hello, Flist, I come bearing more recs today.
This week they are from hd_erised, mini_fest, and snape_potter's Secret Snarry Swap.
As always, these are things I especially enjoyed, YMMV. And please, if there are things you're loving I'd love to see some recs from you guys. :)

Fic:

• Systemic Morality by Anonymous zeitgeistic, Harry/Draco [NC-17]
  This fic is hard to summarize, tbh. I left a bit of a flailing review, so I'll try to be more coherent here. This is an epic story bridging several years of Harry and Draco's on and off relationship. In between, life happens, people break up, careers change, godchildren grow up, and all through it one thing stays the same. Harry's feelings for Draco.
  The supporting cast is superbly written, the world building details are rich and authentic. Check it our, it's fabulous.
  
  
• Dark and Deep by Anonymous kellychambliss, Severus/Minerva [PG-13]
  Warm and cosy fic with everyone very much in character. Severus is prickly, Minerva is calm and serene, and they have a lovely arrangement. There are beautiful background details as well that make this piece well worth checking out. Go now.
  
  
• Molly's Machinations by Anonymous hdwriter, Severus/Harry [PG]
  Sweet and warm holiday story, featuring a matchmaking Molly and the tenderest Snarry kiss I've seen in a while. Reading this one feels like sipping hot chocolate on a cold winter's day.
  
  
• Time and Again by Anonymous lauren3210, Harry/Draco [NC-17]
  Aurors and Unspeakables unite in this Auror casefic which is an exciting and dramatic romp through various parts of the world. There's some brilliantly done magical theory, some wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, and lots of delicious UST that gets resolved (OH, does it get resolved, UNF) and along the way I completely fell for this Draco just as Harry did. Go, see what you think.
  
  
• A Part of Yesterday by Anonymous delphipsmith, Severus/Petunia, [NC-17]
  A lovely, bittersweet story featuring young Petunia and Severus and a tale of forgiveness, reconciliation, and the Christmas spirit. This Petunia is sympathetic, this Severus sweetly shy under his bravado, and the ending is poignant and lovely, if a bit sad, everything the holidays are about.
  
  

Art:

• A Night At The Leaky Cauldron by Anonymous isinuyasha, Harry/Draco [G]
  This glowing, gorgeous piece of art is well worth a look. The details are rich, the art style itself superb and all the other characters included are very much themselves.
  And then there's Harry and Draco, leaning close together and just...Unf. I didn't know you could draw sexual tension until now. ;) Really brilliant.
  
  
• The Best Gift of All by Anonymous shadowycat, Severus/Remus, [G]
  Sweet art featuring two clearly in love people and including some lovely and detailed pencil work. The smiles on their faces and their clasped hands say it all. Beautiful work.
  
  


Rght, that's it for now. Go out and read, view, and rec! Let's give the gift of love to our fandom creators for the holidays!
