Moar Christmas fest recs. I should have said this on the other one but the art may well be NWS so click at your own risk if you are at work. I'll be posting recs often, partly because I can (wheeee) and partly just to be able to keep up. R/S Small Gifts posts twice a day, and Kinky Kristmas three times. That's a lot of reading and viewing. I pick my recs based on just whatever strikes my fancy. I don't have a formula. I won't be bringing you every soddding thing from the fests. Just those that struck me as worthwhile of my taking the tme to put these posts together. Which, heh, is entirely subjective. I have my likes and dislikes the way everyone does.

Order Meetings Don't Always Have to be Vigilant... by

What I really appreciated about this fic was the nod to Sirius' intelligence. Nothing, and I mean nothing, chafes me more than when Sirius is portrayed as empty headed. Sirius makes sure that a Christmas party for the order is, ahem, festive, but keeps in mind that at any moment danger could strike. He's got his bases covered so that the troops can let off a little steam. This is a fun piece, very-lighthearted for the most part, but the author doesn't forget about the underlying danger that faces them all. Also, I have a soft spot for Moody/Shacklebolt and a tiny nod to that is thrown in as well.

Kinky Kristmas

King of the Beasts Moody/Shacklebolt

I have a genuine soft spot for this pairing. This is, however, by no means a romantic tale. Kingsley, newly recruited to the order, brashly offers to teach some training courses. The tides are turned on him and he is forced to face his own desires and humiliations.

Christmas Eve Viktor/Ron

Hot. Just really, really hot. That's all I got. That and a good bit of incoherence.

Alright, that brings me up to speed on my recs. There are some other good stories at these fests but I'm not likely to rec a lot of Next Gen unless its art I can't tear my eyes away from. Generally speaking I can barely get through reading a Next Gen story. My only exception to this is Teddy, don't ask me why but I love the kiddo. Outside of him though, I am forever asking myself 'who are these fucking brats'. Sorry. If you love Next Gen, all apologies. I can almost guarantee I've not read your story so it really isn't personal. However, if someone would be willing to brave my gruffness and explain to me how to enjoy a Next Gen story, I would be much obliged.
