Recs and crack and a snippet and a rant

No Ember to Ember update, alas. Working on it. Going slowly. But! I have recs!

• Vale Sanare, by Anonymous, H/D.
  Summary: Draco's world gains a new component, just when he thought he'd sorted everything out.
  Rec: OMG I love, love, love this story. EWE, war damage and coping, and a distinct lack of sentimentality. And! Ginnyhate that isn't!
  
  
• Not in the Hands of Boys, by fourth_rose,H/D, chapter 18.
  Rec: ...and I just can't get over how loudly I squeal whenever this updates.
  
  
• Coming Clean, TL/JP.
  Summary: Teddy thinks it's time that James fesses up to his parents, but it might take a bit of persuasion on his part.
  Rec: Guh. Is all I can say. Also: NWS.
  
  
• The Road Ahead
  Summary: A post-DH RPG of massive proportions, with multiple postings every day. You don't - and probably shouldn't - follow every single one, because they can sometimes update insanely slowly. But it's just so freaking neat.
  Rec: I'm currently mostly following the Trio, Percy, George and Lee. Which is what originally brought me to it, because maple_mahogany mentioned that there was lovely lovely Glee. And oh my yes, there certainly is.
  
  I'm actually somewhat miffed at poor maple_mahogany, who no doubt had no idea how completely sucked in some people could get. Apparently she's in it mostly for the Glee. ::sobs:: I have no such self-control.
  
  Here's two entries, from the first few days of The Road Ahead. Both are complete.
  
  
• Preparations, Ginny Weasley, Molly Weasley, The Burrow
  Summary: Fred did still need them, and Ginny was determined to be there for him.
  Rec: Yeah can't add to it.
  
  
• So much left to say, Lee Jordan, Alleyway behind WWW
  Summary: Lee says goodbye to a friend.
  Rec: It's... kind of heartbreaking, with beautiful images of Lee's history with the twins, eg George and Fred looking terrified. A breakfast table full of smirking Gryffindors. A smoking red envelope.
  
  And now for some crack...
  
  
• Patronus, H/R, by shocfix.
  Summary: Beware morphing Patroni :)
  Rec: ROFLMAO!!
  
  Ack, that wasn't the fic I was going to rec. Although it is hysterical, but I'd already recced it before.
  
  This is the one I meant to link to:
  
  A Gnome's Eye View, H/R, by shocfix.
  Summary: wild sex in front of the Xmas tree from the POV of the stupefied gnome on top of the tree.
  Rec: He looked a little scared of the matching Gingers – everyone does, when they get really loud - but he has one of his very own, that he likes best.
  
  
• 9 Ways Draco Malfoy Never Went Insane (Holy Ministry Crack, Batman!), by furiosity.
  Summary: Meet Draco, twenty-three years old. Fed up with life and the way things are going, he decides to go insane in a variety of ways. (You know what, Potter? I don't like your attitude...)
  Rec: Another ROFLMAO.
  
  
• Not a rec, but a ( rant )
  
  
  
• And a snippet.
  
  I've got a Fic That Will Probably Never See the Light of Day slowly growing on my hard drive. It's a George-centric genfic, no pairings, though due to some people's influence George/Lee keeps trying to happen. I had something like this going in my previous fandom, over 100 pages of bits and pieces of a fic that never went anywhere, and I never posted it and now I'm kinda sad I didn't because some of the pieces weren't so bad. So I'll probably be posting random snippets of this fic here. So that even if it does die a lonely death, at least bits of it will have seen the light.
  
  ( working title is Oblivion )
  
  
  
• I've got more to post - more H/Rs, and Arctic Fox, but it's 2:00 and good girls should be in bed. Asleep. And probably so should I.
