Untitled drabbles by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crisecardiac
SiriusxRegulus
crisecardiac is this amazing new writer in the area that is so cool and so brillant and writes stunningly well and she was kind enough to write some Blackcest for me and I'm overwhelmed with the goodness of this serie of drabbles. The writing is amazing, the characterization very, very sharp.
Quote : Sometimes, Regulus wishes to be hexed, cursed, left embarrassed like Snape in the halls simply to know his brother can still see him
The Perfection and the Line We Crossbyformerlydf
BellaxSirius, implied JamesxSirius, chan
Amazing characterizations of Bellatrix and of Sirius. Gorgeous writing. It's short and sharp and encapsulate them and their twisted relationship perfectly.
Quote : Sirius is 11 and rebellious, but it's not so bad. The family thinks he'll grow out of it. He's perfect in all the other ways; charming, handsome, clever, and an excellent dancer; the perfect heir, except not, except yes because no one knows better.
Three words, my love byeudaimon
TedxAndromeda, CharliexTonks
Stunning short fic about love and grief, and the impossibility to stop either. Achingly beautiful.
Quote : When the body came back (she had to correct herself, not the body. Him, just him), Molly did exactly what they'd all expected and tried to be involved. On the pretence of helping with the children, she'd rolled up her sleeves, filled basin after basin with water, had Andromeda's kitchen trickling with steam and condensation. Andromeda stood in the doorway of her own kitchen, wrapped in her own arms, watching as Molly fussed, as Charlie bounced a screaming child on his hip. In the lounge on a trestle, under a sheet, Ted was lying waiting/
Remus Snapshot serie bystoicstella (WIP) which includes All Right Moonie, What Goes Up, Tread Softly, Aftershocks and Morning After
RemusxSirius, RemusxTonks, RemusxSeverus.
Involves drunkenness, Remus being an idiot, masturbation, Sirius being an ass and Severus being an ass, snidely ^_^ Lovely writing and very sharp characterization.
Quote :They sit and drink tea together and make plans for the order, or discuss Harry and his future. They never talk about the past, about James and Lily, or Peter. They never talk about Remus being hopelessly in love with him when they were kids, and Sirius not meaning to take advantage of it. They couldn't talk about that because Sirius wasn't the same man, and Remus didn't dare try to make the two Sirius' in his brain into one.
Remus doesn't know that in a few months both Siriuses will plunge irrevocably through the veil, and he can't begin to fathom how relieved he will be, how much peace it will bring them both. Remus wants Sirius to clench his teeth, or roll his eyes or chew his lip, instead of staring hauntingly into his tea with lifeless grey eyes. In a way Sirius is dead already. In a way Remus has already begun to mourn him.
Mors Revelatus bylilith_morgana
Luna Lovegood, Dumbledore
Lilith Morgana has this tendancy to write fics which absolutly stuns me with their justness and the intensity of what she writes.
This is Luna, what she sees, and the voice of the deads.
Quote : The loneliest night of the month, when the moon is far away and the earth sleeps alone (apogeum, she mumbles to herself in her head; it has a beautiful name), Luna sits in a windowsill in the corridors outside a quiet classroom and watches the shadows of the dead dance around the trees outside. They dance, and they sing, and some of them sneak up to the window to smile at her and shake their invisible clothes so that the thin web makes strange noises in the dark. Luna smiles back, trying to make them feel welcome.
Moonshine bythunderemerald
Luna, Remus
Luna has questions about werewolves (set during PoA)
Cute and insightful, full of gennish goodness with two characters that are interesting to have interact.
Quote : Letting out a silent breath, Remus managed a smile at the girl. "So you thought I might know about werewolves on the moon," he said. This was fine. Personal questions were one thing, but theoretical questions he could handle.
Finding Neverland bygehayi
Sirius, Regulus and the Lost Boys (not quite Blackcest)
Because Sirius is Peter Pan and that fic is brillant with the parallelism it makes.
Mother, fearing he'd be easily seduced from a world more full of weeping than he could understand, washed the stardust from his eyes, and told him—young though he was—that he must be the man his brother was not (would never be capable of being, she muttered under her breath) and face the dark world of adulthood valiantly.
He did not like it. He resented having to bear such a burden, and resented his mother more. But there was nothing he could do, for he was in the real world, and his brother and his band of friends were off fighting wild and untamed Slytherins and battling the malicious Cap'n Bella and her crafty right-hand man, Mr. Snape, while one of the lost boys courted the brave and beautiful Tiger Lily.
Moira bycrise_cardia
Molly, during the first war
Brillant gen fic. I don't even like Molly but this broke my heart.
Quote : She is not bitter, never bitter.
She is not allowed to be bitter with the children scattered like blessings around the house, underfoot.
Tonks drabbles bystoicstella
TonksxCharlie, TonksxRemus
You know how I'd asked on this journal not long ago what was the deal with TonksxCharlie ? Well, no I know, stoicstella made me see the light.
This a serie of drabbles with great Tonks characterization, and some awesome CharliexTonks which totally made me fall in the love with the pairing ^^
Quote : Now, she lay beside Remus as he slept, his breaths easy and peaceful. She'd twisted his arm, she'd thrown a tantrum, she'd made a scene... she got her man. She shouldn't feel guilty. After all, the sorting hat put her in Slytherin for a reason all those years ago. Slytherins always got their way.
And that meme taken from everybody :
If you make up titles for stories I didn't write, I will respond with details of those non-written stories (or perhaps an actual story, you honestly never know). Just think of the possibilities! (If you'd like to include details you'd like, pairings or fandom or something, you can do that too.)

Date: 23 February 2006 05:44 pm (UTC)Shadows are, of course, an evocation of The Shadow we all have in ourselves, and to the shadow Seishirou left on his life. I wanted to keep the ambiguity on whether the voice and littles signs that Subaru found around him were really from Seishirou (a ghost ?) or from Subaru himself in his madness. But the Shadow is also Hokuto's, hence the plural.
