Some fics I've read recently and enjoyed. I thought I'd rec a couple.
GIFT FOR ME!!! - back to when it all falls apart. It's Remus/Sirius. Plotty, angsty, canon compliant, brilliant characterisations, interesting play with tenses, back and forth scenes. It's really really well done. I really liked this because the author didn't shy away from showing Sirius as a complete prick. Too many times, Sirius is shown to be those OHWOEISMEFORIAMAVICTIMFOREVAH sort of characters. He's perfect and a victim all at the same time. This story didn't shy away from showing Sirius as human - warts and failings and greediness and selfishness all right there. It also doesn't pull any punches when it comes to Remus himself. Remus shows himself to have plenty of faults too. ( spoilers for the fic contained within )
Get Down - another Remus/Sirius fic. Only this time - it's got artwork, too! I've had this fic open since it was posted because I can't quite wrap my head around just what sort of comment to leave. I've read it about 30 times but I just don't know what to say to encompass my OMGBESTTHINGEVAH reaction in any sort of rational manner. For now, you all need to go forth and read it and leave your own comments so that I can get mine figured out.
