Last-Minute Snapelyholidays Recs
Jan. 19th, 2011 04:00 amOkay, so I've allllllmost managed to catch up with ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
snapelyholidays before reveals! I went through the majority of the fest in one week. I think I'm allowed to pat myself on the back for this one a little bit, right? Anyway, I'm not 100% caught up. I've skipped a couple of fics due to pairings that I'm usually very not fond of, and a couple more due to length. If I didn't get to yours, I'll just have to read them post-reveals, okay?
I'm going to go ahead with a recs post, even though reveals are imminent. If you have a chance to do some reading/viewing at all today, pick one of these and check it out. Feed an author or artist an unexpected comment and make their day, yeah?

Ohhhhh, wow oh wow oh wow. A romance without the slightest hint of schmoop or sop. It's gritty and atmospheric, and it doesn't pull any punches. The complex dynamics between Snape and Viktor and all the little hints about the nature of their association are deftly handled. And the smut... ! You know those fics that are really great but you just sort of skim over the sex scenes because they're kind of by rote? This isn't one of them. Holy good guh. The intensity of this entire piece left me feeling wrung out in the best possible way. Amazing.

WOW. Just... wow. This wins all the fests. It's an AU story of what could have happened shortly after the first war told through 31(!) panels of art and text. Snape is perfect. Remus is amazing. The range of emotions expressed throughout is incredible. What a ride. I squeed shamelessly all over the poor artist. I simply can't do this justice. If you haven't seen it yet, please go take a look!!

Man. It was very difficult deciding which pieces to list here. There were others I almost concluded, but I have to draw the line somewhere! Argh! So much fantastic fic and art this year; I'm glad I found the time to (mostly!) catch up. Our fandom is so talented. ♥ ♥
