First, guess who has a computer again? It's my old laptop up and running again. She's old, but she's faithful and I'll not say a bad word about her.

Second, I am following two fests this Christmas season, [livejournal.com profile] rs_small_gifts and daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas. With that thought in mind, have a sexy banner:



My plan is to read and comment on everything in these two fests and rec my favorites even if they don't feature Sirius.

For now, have some recs and I'll post tomorrow about how I'm doing.

R/S Small Gifts recs

Art

Together for the Holidays by [livejournal.com profile] deviant_forever

I am not familiar with this artist, but I hope to become so. This piece is such a cozy romantic scene with gorgeous use of color. It is a scene that makes you ache and wish this for Remus and Sirius.

Five Minutes in a Closet & A Cauldron Full of Hot Strong Love by [livejournal.com profile] myprettycabinet

I am very familiar with this artist. *g* She burst onto the R/S scene as an artist in much the way that [livejournal.com profile] eprime burst onto the R/S scene as a writer. Fortuitous then that these three illustrations are from [livejournal.com profile] eprime's own writings. There are more details in the link, but for this rec I simply want to say that the artist does her usual excellent job at capturing emotions and facial expressions. Her use of dark and light is simply fabulous. Please give these drawings a look, you'll be amazed.

Fic

Staff Infection by [livejournal.com profile] brighty18

I love Minerva's oh, so tired voice in this. This isn't merely an R/S story, but more of a gen story about the staff at Hogwart's and the conversations they have are hilarious. The subject at hand is the Christmas festivities and the worry over what sort of mayhem the Marauder's most certainly will bring. Within all this we see Minerva's regard and affection for Lupin and Black. It's a short fun read. Give it a try, won't you?

Rough Times ny [livejournal.com profile] fullmoon_dreams

On the surface this is a charming story about the Marauders and Lily going on a magic-free camping trip (only a Muggleborn would think this was a good idea), but underneath is a story about the struggle of a gay couple grappling with whether or not to come out to their friends. The author takes 70's sensibilities into account without over doing it. This is really a charming story and well worth the read.

I Crave Your Mouth by [livejournal.com profile] remuslives23

Like any written by [livejournal.com profile] remuslives23, this is hot as blazes. Sirius provides a very Merry Christmas for Remus. *grins*


Kinky Kristmas at Daily Deviant

Art

Hottest Day in Summer Draco/Astoria

This is a really beautiful piece of art. The first thing I thought of was Adam and Eve in the garden, it has that sort of peaceful sensuality to it.

...and to all a good night / Merry Christmas, Git Remus/Severus/Sirius

Oh, holy shit. This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Click the link. Click it now.

Fic

Take Two Drinks and Hex Me in the Morning Snape/Lupin

This is probably my least favorite pairings, well, okay, my least favorite is a toss up between Sirius/Harry and Sirius/Snape, but none of this is really the point. The point is that I am reccing a fic for a pairing I don't like. Savvy? This fic is laugh out loud hilarious and you need to click the link the and go read it immediately! Siriusly! This fic is well-written, hot, and features a drunk!virgin!Severus. Go read! Do it now!

Pulse Sirius/Charlie, Remus/Kingsley

Set in OotP, Sirius needs a breath of fresh air and finds himself in a Muggle club. People have moved on with their lives but Sirius hasn't. Seeing the evidence of that hurts, but someone is there to ease Sirius' pain, at least a little. I liked this story for its differences from the usual 'of course, Remus and Sirius get back together' storyline. Remus has a life of his own and Sirius is trying to figure out what his is.

Oh, man, so tired from catching up on reading. I'll have a personal post maybe tomorrow. For now, bed.

Oh! Thanks for the rec! That was lovely and awkward and pushes me a little closer to signing up for gen at crack_broom. Of course it would all be Sirius gen. *grins*

::blushes::

:-D :-D :-D

I don't think I could receive a better compliment than that!! Thank you! I can't wait for your small gift, I like the prompt!

I love your art, you know this. Incidentally, do you obsessively check daily_deviant for no reason in particular? *whistles innocently*

From: [identity profile] myprettycabinet.livejournal.com


It's funny you should ask that, because I have taken to perusing that specific community quite frequently since the beginning of this month. *twiddles thumbs*

Three recs for [livejournal.com profile] myprettycabinet so I sent it in to the [livejournal.com profile] daily_snitch for Hot Art. Two for [livejournal.com profile] brighty18 so I'll be on the look out for one more there too.

I adore both of those artworks from Kinky Christmas! the threesome has been part of a series but that is the funniest one yet! The Draco/Asteria is lush and stunning! I especially liked Asteria's rounded body and how much Draco obviously worships his canon spouse here.

Awesome! Hey, been meaning to PM you. Want me to take up my Friday post? Please, please, please?

From: [identity profile] werewolfsfan.livejournal.com


Yes please! I've missed you and been shocked that there haven't been any complaints yet......

From: [identity profile] ceredwensirius.livejournal.com


That's because your fabulous I promise from now on to take very goof care of my computers and not let Lutzi anywhere near them. :)

From: [identity profile] werewolfsfan.livejournal.com


I'm relieved that She Who Must Not Be Named didn't pop up. SWMNBN had said before you that if we didn't get new editors, SHE was shutting it down.
I'd rather not deal with that yet.......

From: [identity profile] ceredwensirius.livejournal.com


She needs to recognize that she has moved on and hand the reigns over to someone else. If and when that day comes we'll just open a separate comm and name it something else and let everyone know in remusxsirius where business has fled. That's all. We'd get around her majesty, but like you, I'm glad we aren't there yet.

From: [identity profile] ceredwensirius.livejournal.com


Okay, and give me the name of it as well. All that was stored on my other computer so I didn't even have to think about it.
