Nine recs, a few slightly stale from holiday fests, others from snapecase which is still posting, although I could have sworn I saw the author of "Standing at the Fork in the Road" claiming it as hers somewhere O.o but I can't find that now. (Anyway, if any of these are yours and you're at liberty to reveal it, please do say - I may have missed some attributions since it seems not all fests go back and edit in author names after reveals.)

On the table here today we have Severus/Regulus, Severus/Sirius, two Severus/Harry, and a bunch of gen (or nearly gen).

"The first book has a feeling of 'Oooh, magic is so cool, I wish I could do that, neat!' And now with this one it's more like, 'NO MORE OWLS AND CUTESY CRAP. MAGIC IS SERIOUS SHIT. If you aren't good at using it you will be TOAST.'"

I dunno why this amuses me so much. Maybe it's an "i r Sirius dog, this r Sirius thread"-like thing.

ETA: LOL!


(more if you clicky it)

More ETA: WTF "Rabastan" Lestrange? Why is it not Rastaban, which is also an astronomical name? cf. Draco, Scorpius, Bellatrix, Sirius, Regulus, Andromeda...? It also leaves one to speculate about possible Arcturus, Antares, Aldebaran, Algol, Capella, Vega, triplets (perhaps fraternal) Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka, and poor unfortunately-named second cousin Betelgeuse. ;)
