January Fic Recs
I was inspired by @merlins-sequined-hotpants who was inspired by @incalculablepower to make a fic rec list for January. This definitely isn't an exhaustive list but these are the fics that I read or discovered in January that were most memorable:
a louisville slugger to both headlights by @pebblysand - the Harry/OC fic I didn't know I wanted or needed, but I definitely adore. Crack treated seriously. Sheila's a gem.
The Dog and Deer Detective Agency by @artemisia-black - film noir, femme fatale meets Sirius Black. Harry rides a Babybolt. Crime-solving best friends James & Sirius. What's not to love?
Vetus Amicus by @floreatcastellumposts - Flo's last work. It didn't make me cry, even though it was sad, but I saw less sad and tragedy and more hope and beauty surrounding death. This is one of those fics that will stick with me.
Already Gone by @takearisk-ao3 - Hinny amnesia fic that inspired my own. The pining, the angst, the mutual pining, more angst. Don't forget the angst. :D
