I'm all caught up and come bearing recs. And that's pretty much all I got. Now I must work on something for rs_remix !

R/S Small Gifts

Fic

Travelling Through The Wilderness by liseuse

Non-magic Aus are among my favorite things, add to that historical Aus and I’m in heaven. This one is truly exceptional. The author creates a believable scenario within a setting that is at once sad and hopeful. The details in the conversation leave one wondering more about Sirius’ real situation and endear Remus to you completely. It is a glimpse into a simpler time where hospitality and graciousness were things you didn’t take for granted, but could expect as it was a part of the fabric of the culture. I can’t decide if it feels more WWI or WWII to me, but I’ll let you be the judge.

Gold and Silver Days by busaikko

This piece has utterly gorgeous prose that completely captures the bittersweet feeling that we so very much love in this pairing. The sex is gorgeous, much more erotic than pr0n.

Little Drop of Poison by toujours_nigel

Regency fic! Really well done regency fic at that. toujours_nigel is a master at prose that creates a specific mood and this is no different. The characters are kept true to their canon natures despite being so far out of their natural element. In just a few words, the author creates a complete, vivid world.

Where the Love Light Beams by xkeijukainenx

Pure, joyous Christmas camp! Plus videos and Remus and Sirius raising Harry!


Kinky Kristmas

Art

Lupine Distraction Remus/Luma

Just really gorgeous. I am kinda of a whore for porny art, but this is just really beautiful. It just looks like love is happening here.

Breathless, not quiet Ginny/Pansy

I think what I love about this is the simplicity. It just seems like a celebration of the feminine form. Stunningly rendered, yet somehow simple and natural.


Fic

Wild Justice James/Sirius/Severus Rapefic.

I will say that I personally do not think that James and Sirius were ever this evil. However, this rape fic is handled well by the author. The author plays James and Sirius off each other brilliantly, each pushing the other to this unspeakable act, humiliating and using Severus in ways no one ever should be. Somehow, despite having pushed their personalities past the limit of what I consider believable, this fic works. It is wrong, brutal, and cruel, and at the same time incredibly hot. Less because of what they are doing to Severus, although I can’t lie, it was hot, too, but more about the way they worked each other up. That I think is why the fic works. Before clicking the link, be warned, this is rape, unapologetic, harsh, and real.


Smutty Claus

The Wheel's Still in Spin Sirius/Hermione

What I really liked about this is that it isn’t the usual Time-Turner fic. There are dozens of them that follow the exact same formula, but this is definitely a fresh take.

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, 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 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 myprettycabinet

I am very familiar with this artist. *g* She burst onto the R/S scene as an artist in much the way that eprime burst onto the R/S scene as a writer. Fortuitous then that these three illustrations are from 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 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 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 remuslives23

Like any written by 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.

Author’s Notes: This was my first submission to daily_deviant, first posted here. The kink/theme chosen was Handkerchief Codes: colored handkerchiefs worn to indicate a person's sexual preferences The ones used in the fic (according to wikipedia) are as follows: Red = Anal Fisting; White = Mutual Masturbation; Light Blue = Oral Sex; Navy Blue = Anal Sex; Chamois = Motorcycle Sex; Beige = Rimming. Also many thanks to my beta, whitmans_kiss. .Also, I'm reasonably certain no 'pamphlet' existed, but the idea amused me.

( Of all the hare-brained ideas James had come up with, this one actually nested in a burrow. )
