Random Tuesday Recs

[alisanne]

So I'm following several fests (dudley_redeemed, luciusbigbang and samhain_smut) and have some recs. Yes, I know I should be studying and, when not studying, writing, but I can't help it, okay?
So, here are some notables.

Arts:

All the art in samhain_smut was lovely, but I especially loved:

Untitled by Anon fabledtruant
Soft R, Snape/Lupin.

I am a sucker for kissing, especially desperate, "I want you now" kissing, which this depicts perfectly. Also, the way Snape is tucked into Lupin's body, and the way he's yanking Lupin's tie is just...*bites fist*. Yeah, very sexy.

Devil and Angel by Anon vivid_zephyr
R, Scorpius/Lysander

Mmm, sexy, naughty boys never get old. This artist is always so fabulous at textures and, well bodies. *drools* Delicious!

From dudley_redeemed:

You're Alive, Pretty Bird by Anon
G, Dudley, Hedwig.

This one made me tear up! It's so tender, Dudley's body language is so protective and nurturing, and Hedwig's expression is a bit stunned. *giggles* Really sweet piece.

From luciusbigbang:

Silver and Emeralds By Anon vivid_zephyr
PG-13, Lucius/Harry.

Holy crap this is some fabulous art! This may be my favorite piece from this artist so far, and that's saying something. The sheer possessiveness in Lucius' eyes is just... Also? Harry doesn't look like he really wants to go anywhere (and I can't say I blame him). This art is just genius. Seriously, if you ignore everything else on this list, go look at this one!

Oh, and have one I meant to rec from Cliche fest:

Pozione Maestro, Possessivo (Posseduto) By gunxshyed
NC-17, Severus/Harry.

Guh! This features deliciously hot possessive Severus with Harry wrapped around him. What could be better than that? *g*

Fics:

From samhain_smut:

I'll Just Begin Again by Anon downjune
R, Cedric/Harry, 26,800 words.

Really intricate and inventive parallel universe story featuring some unique magic. Don't let the word count scare you, this is well worth the time.

From dudley_redeemed:

The Boy Who Fell By Anon
NC-17, Dudley/Colin, 7464 words.

Tender, well-written exploration of a Dudley who is finally adult and responsible and kinda smart. :) Parts are heartbreaking but parts are sheer brilliance. For those who have a Harry/Ginny squick, this may be one to avoid, although it very much in the background.

That's all for now. I know I've missed some fabulous stuff but you know to fix that, right? Do you own recs and share your findings!
And, as always, leave feedback. It's the best way to assure that people keep creating things that we all love. :)
