First Week--First Rec
Dec. 5th, 2011 05:47 pmSo, Kinky Kristmas is going along swimmingly so far. I'm all caught up on reading (after I read today's stories) and so far there have only been two that I didn't read because of pairing and two because of kinks that squick me. Not bad for the delicate flower that I have become recently. I usually try and stretch myself on the characters and kinks and try pairings and naughties, but maybe its a bit too early in the month for that... maybe later. ♥
But enough about that. I found a gem of a fic over there and want to rec it for any of my friends not following the fest:
Old Habits Are the Sweetest anon Harry/Hermione/Ron, NC-17, 5k. Summary provided by author: “Well,” Ron says, raising his glass of whiskey, “we're here now. So.” He clinks glasses with Hermione. “Here's to the third Tuesday of the month.”
alkdfasl;kdfj This was just amazingly well done as it was smutty as hell, but it wasn't ALL it was about and the sex wasn't just there for our titillation, it revealed character, relationship, place in time and set the tone. The POV shifts are flawless as we get to travel around and see each of them through each of them's eyes, but I never got lost or even noticed the shift. I really want to figure out how the author did that! What I really loved was how at peace, comfortable and respectful they all are of each other but how there is also something of stunted dysfunction that rides along on the underbelly and makes it all the more gorgeous.
( One of my favorite bits under the cut because... )
I highly recommend it. And please, for the love of GOD, if you read something, and it keeps you reading to the end of the story, PLEASE, leave a comment. Even if it is just, "Nice" or "Hot" or repeats all that had been said before. It really means a lot to writers to know they're stuff is being read. ♥♥ I know you all know this, but it doesn't hurt to put it out there.
