rec notes: I am a huge fan of fic that feels deeply rooted in its setting, clinging exhaustively but never frustratingly to detail and establishing a strong sense of place from the start and throughout. You get it in spades in this fic. Reading it feels like you could just dive in, lie back, spread your arms wide, and become immersed. The author's use of language is otherworldly. And this is before I even get started on the characters, tone-perfect Sirius who's full of insecurities and bursting with feeling, and Remus as an ethereal presence, elevated in Sirius' drug-induced haze. Though the fic only covers their first(-ish) meeting, you can feel the promise. It's great.

rec notes: I am very sad!!! I am very emo!!! H/R/Hr are established but since Harry has the amnesia they're not going to weird him out by coming onto him but they're still intimate with each other and Hazza is JEALOUS. Also the angst. The prose is wonderful and makes it hurt even more!!!! :( I am baby (so is Harry)

rec notes: Is this the first E rated fic I've rec'd? [personal profile] ceu would be so proud of me. This fic is one of my faves and honestly I had to double check I hadn't already rec'd it; I guess I was saving it up, just as you'll need to savour it, when you read it. The storyline here loosely follows the canon Marauder plot, but it's set in a modern dystopian AU - something I don't see a lot of in fanfic. Alongside a gripping story and great characterisation, we have very clever worldbuilding and political commentary, as well as a good British sense of humour. This is a fic that'll take you on an emotional journey and make you think. Highly recommended.
