kelly_chamblissToday's Snowflake Challenge is to "post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create." Since I was planning to do a rec post for ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif)
daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas anyway, I can do the proverbial "avian-destruction-with-a-single-stone" thing.
Kinky Kristmas was great fun this year, as always, and I still have a lot to read before the reveals on Sunday. As usual, you'll find a wide range of pairings, tones, and kinks. Here are a few of my favorites:
Nine Ways of Looking at a Book byAnonymous pauraque. (Minerva McGonagall/Hermione Granger)
I've already recced my own superb gift, but it deserves another mention. Book fic! Old-lady fic! Writing fic! And beautifully written and characterized to boot.
Unquestionable; Unforgivable byAnonymous purplefluffycat. (Albus Dumbledore/Gellert Grindelwald)
Another intelligent, well-characterized story that offers a lot of insight into young Albus.
Imagine byAnonymous tjs_whatnot (Luna Lovegood/Alastor Moody)
Even though I love rare pairs, I approached this one with some trepidation, since I don't usually love chan. But the author handles the whole thing brilliantly -- the "pairing" is Luna's fantasy, presented in a way that makes sad sense. The characterization and writing are excellent; one of my favorites of the fest.
Moonbeam in the Palm of His Hand byAnonymous writcraft (Severus Snape/Remus Lupin)
A nice take on the post-war AU trope in which Snape and Lupin survive. The sex is subservient to character and atmosphere, which is my favorite type of kink fic.
