This is everything, Scorp had said earlier, still giddy from the ceremony. I love you two, you know that? He had one arm around my shoulders, tugging me into him, and the other around Rose’s waist. Everyone I love, right here in one place. He turned to me, then, pressed a smacking kiss to my cheek, Rose giggling behind him. I hope – Al, he said, ardent as ever, I hope one day you get this lucky. You deserve it. Everything you want.
I wrote this, my first foray into cross-gen, for the lovely @sitp-recs, who’s been gracing fandom with her presence for two whole years now. When I was but a wee-un, staying up late into the night to devour longfic after longfic on my phone, months before I even dreamt of writing anything myself (or even had a Tumblr), I used to check out the latest sitp-recs rec to find my newest obsession. I discovered so many of my faves (and now my friends) through Liv, and I just thought it’s worth thinking about the sheer number of people who are probably doing the same as I did, right now. When I finally started writing, I remember thinking to myself that getting a sitp-recs rec would be like the highest fandom accolade. I couldn’t believe it the day it finally happened!
I only got chatting to Liv after joining fandom last year; we had friends in common and everyone was telling me how lovely she was, and of course they were absolutely right. It’s been great to get to know you, Liv, and to have someone else to shout about all my favourite fics with. I hope you’re having a wonderful day and feeling thoroughly loved and spoiled <3

In the words of Dave Grohl: I gotta another confession to maaake* - I… have kind of been sucking at reading long fic these past few weeks. Life has been busy, my dudes! And I am wrapped up in a lot of writing myself, almost there with my next fic which I’m hoping to post very soon. Anyway, here are some gems that have rocked my week between all of the chaos. Happy reading!
I read this whilst snuggled up in bed and it was seriously the cosiest, loveliest, truest representation of married Drarry I’ve ever read. Just wonderful. Ali as ever continues to rock my world with her incredible words.
Charlie doesn’t think that this is his Fuck Autobiography. But it so is.
Jesus Christ man. I needed to be rebooted after reading this, it sent me out. You know that phrase, “oldie but a goodie”? Well, this fic was published in 2014, and it’s so far beyond a goodie that it transcends space and time. Radical, beautiful stuff. (CW for incest on this one).
Nothing has been said, nothing solemnly sworn, but they both know what’s going to happen. They’ve known from the minute Sirius suggested this weekend away by the beach.
An absolutely gorgeous and atmospheric fic, beautifully written and realised. Sexy, heartbreaking, and heartwarming all at once.
This is everything, Scorp had said earlier, still giddy from the ceremony. I love you two, you know that? He had one arm around my shoulders, tugging me into him, and the other around Rose’s waist. Everyone I love, right here in one place. He turned to me, then, pressed a smacking kiss to my cheek, Rose giggling behind him. I hope – Al, he said, ardent as ever, I hope one day you get this lucky. You deserve it. Everything you want.
Everything I want.
If only I knew what that was.
Mmmf. This was magical! @sweet-s0rr0w sure knows how to paint the most gorgeous pictures, and I feel so immersed in the moment, like I could touch everything around me. This is a slice of heaven.

And that’s it for another week! Remember to read the tags, respect the authors, and spread the joy. See you next week, I love you! <3 x

Catapulting its way straight into my list of all-time favourite rarepair fics comes Weather Warning. This Albus is so lovable, so charmingly down in the dumps… and then this Draco (who L always writes so brilliantly btw) with this frankness and confidence that is so compelling. As I said in a comment, I love that we’re never quite sure if he’s being solicitous or seductive (insert both is good gif here). A truly masterful getting-together fic with all the heat and tension of thousands of words packed into one scene.
