Recity, Rec Rec.

So now that Secret Snarry Swap is over, I've expanded my reading to include a fest I wasn't that familiar with: hoggywartyxmas. What you see here are things I especially enjoyed from it, hd_erised, and mini_fest this week.
I'm still working my way through hoggywartyxmas, so more recs may be forthcoming. And I've another fest on my radar now that the holiday season is over. *eyes hd_owlpost*
Anyway, as always I urge you to go out, read, and rec. And of course, if you find something you enjoy, make sure to leave some love.

Fics:

• Incongruent by Anonymous agentmoppet, Harry/Draco, [NC-17]
  An Eighth Year fic in which Umbridge is her usual evil self, Harry has to be shown the error of his assumptions, and Draco is and isn't himself. Everyone felt very much like their canon selves, almost scarily so at times and yet people seem to have learned from their mistakes (all except Umbridge, she never learns). A lovely story.
  
  
• The Gift by Anonymous lash_larue, Minerva McGonagall/Sybil Trelawney, (PG)
  A beautifully bittersweet story about the real reason Sybil acts as she does and how Minerva (and all her colleagues) come to see her for her true self and try to help her through her suffering. And the last line is fabulous. *g*
  
  

Art:

• I want to be the first thing you touch in the morning by Anonymous primea, Harry/Draco, [PG-13]
  A gorgeous piece of art featuring the play of light off Draco's naked back and Harry's face. This is worth it for Draco's back alone. :)
  
  
• New Year's Kiss by Anonymous 8c, Pansy/Ginny, [G] (I'd say it's PG to be safe)
  Gorgeously romantic kiss in the snow. The curve of Pansy's arm as she pulls Ginny closer is a thing of beauty. Lovely work.
