Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.

This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

So what cool fanarts/fics/fancrafts/fanvids/podfics/some other kind of fanwork have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled

Harry Potter fic recs, female characters centric

I Loved You Like The Fall Of Rome, by pansexual_intellectual.
Lily Evans/Regulus Black, PG-13, 12.943 words
Lily turns to him, smiling sweetly. She’s done this before, Lily reminds herself. Separated the boy from the blood-purists. It’ll be harder in this case, things are different, and it’s nothing like a revolution- yet.
Really cool story with an amazing Lily. I love her.

by her own light, by kitsunerei88.
Gen: Petunia Evans, PG-13, 6.095 words
Petunia Evans is a Muggle. She has no place in their world, the magical world, and it’s best that she come to terms with that now. She couldn’t do magic if she tried, any more than she could ever be as beautiful as Lily, as fun as Lily, as likeable as Lily.
There’s another world where Petunia Evans lets this disappointment seep deep into her bones—a world where Petunia Evans grows old, and bitter, and angry at all the things she cannot have. In that world, Petunia Evans lets her jealousy steep, like tea that’s been left too long, and lets it turn into a thick, steaming beverage of resentment and hate and disgust. In that world, Petunia Evans is always second-best to her beautiful, her magical, her shining and smiling sister, in her own head if nowhere else, and this remains so even after Lily is gone.
That’s a different world.
This is so cool, with a Petunia who is only slightly less bitter and has more reasons to be bitter about than Lily. I love this Petunia so much.

open hand or closed fist would be fine, by ayebydan.
Narcissa Black Malfoy/Andromeda Black Tonks, PG-13, 5.782 words
Andromeda was a child protecting one sister from the other as they avoided the wrath of their parents.
She was a teenager warning about what might come if they did not stay in line yet the first to flee.
Now she's a grieving grandmother watching as Narcissa returns to her after decades with a bottle of cherry wine and a newborn baby in a wicker basket.
Oh, this was horrifying and sad and miserable. And still there is hope at the end.
