Gen Rec: one thing (or the other) by rougeatre
title: one thing (or the other)
author: rougeatre
rating: T
tags/content: slightly meta i suppose, all dialogue between women, Female Friendship, Femslash
summary: "It’s men that started this war, and it won’t be men who end it. It will be women. Do you hear me? Women, like you and me."
wordcount: 7k
rec notes: This is an absolutely breathtaking character piece, but it's more than just that: layered through the story of Lily's relationships with other women over the course of her life is rich insight into the way the magical world and the war might shape a woman's life, her choices. The language of this fic is just incredible and it's left me with something ponderous weighing at my chest - sadness, because of course this is canon compliant, but also it's that this fic tapped into real heart, absolute emotional realism. Masterful, tbh.
