Holiday Recs II

Am still insanely behind on reading all of these ... but here's a nonrepresentative sample of some of the stories that I've liked so far. Figures not drawn to scale, statistical significance unknown, etc.

From merry_smutmas:

Waiting for the Sun, Bill/Harry, NC-17. Gorgeous, just really well-written, and beautiful, beautiful characterization.

Light on in Winter, Remus/Harry, R. A beautiful little glimpse into a story, with just enough hints at backstory to satisfy the beginnings of imagination, and a really fantastic atmosphere to it all.

From harry_holidays:

Moments of War, Harry/Snape, NC-17. I don't think I can say anything without spoiling it, really, but this is just fantastic!

Twas the Night Before Christmas, Salazar/Godric, NC-17. Just ... wow, I was happy and bubbly over this one for half an hour, I think. Really wonderfully told, and just the way that I like angst!

And, because I've been so jealous of alisanne's lovely words of the day, here's one of my own - well, it isn't mine, but you know what I mean. smust: the dusty combination of smog and ethane on Titan's surface. (reported in Nature, 2006) Too bad it isn't an atmosphere with smog and ethanol ... now that would be a fun place to explore if it were. Provided that the concentration of EtOH wasn't too high, that is.

And on that note, let me recommend some holiday cocktails for those of you who're inclined to so indulge ... *g*
