Birthday recommendations, Day 1

[jain]

I wanted to do something fannish for my encroaching birthday and, given the fact that I'm already committed to writing more ficlets and challenge stories and whatnot than is good for my sanity, I'm choosing to recommend other people's fic throughout the month of April instead. There's a tentative plan to rec 2.5 stories per day, since I'm turning 25 this year. That's a total of 75 stories, though, so let's just see how it goes, shall we?

Seventeen by Afrai (Draco/Wilfred Owen) My favorite crossover pairing ever. Her story's amazing, as well: gorgeous imagery and delicate characterizations of both Draco and Owen and of the roles they play in their respective battles.

The Normal by dehkla (Sirius/Harry) Harry watches his godfather and dreams of impossible things. Poignant and hot and devastating. Warnings: bestiality, chan (sort of)

Crack by Zillah (Fred/George) Plausible yet hopeful twincest. George lies awake wondering if they were right to leave Hogwarts. I love this glimpse of the seriousness and gentleness that lies beneath the more extroverted aspects of the twins' personalities.

Thanks for the rec! I'm glad you enjoyed the story... I was quite nervous about posting it.

My pleasure. I'd been meaning to rec the story ever since I first read it back in January, but only now got around to it.
