kelly_chamblissI've been in HP fandom for quite a while (since 2008), during which time literally thousands of fanfics have been written. Thus it's easy to lose track of all the wonderful older stories and artworks. So I thought I'd start a new tradition for myself: every Friday, I'll rec an HP femslash story or artwork that might be unfamiliar to many fans.
Most of these recs will feature the older HP women, since that's where my heart lies. But younger characters won't be absent.
Today's gem comes from the 2009 edition of HP_Beholder, one of the best fests ever to grace the fandom.
Title: A Toast to Lord Voldemort
Author:magnetic_pole
Pairing: Minerva McGonagall/Augusta Longbottom
Word Count: 4500
Rating: PG
Author's Summary: Neville joins an unexpected celebration.
Why I Love It: Not only is Magnetic Pole a fine writer, but she's also created spot-on characterizations. Minerva and Augusta are just as matter-of-fact, tart-tongued, and self-sufficient as you'd expect. Neville is a delight. And the magical world-building is exactly right.
