And I thought I'd read all the good HP fic

Which is totally conceited and also untrue, but I *did*, and now I know better. nepnthe, are you paying attention? You need to read these. Right now (NaNowhat?)

Thursday:

[Harry Potter] Juvenilia: Part One & Two by geekerypokery/mrmoonpants (Sirius/Remus, pre-slash, wip). Sirius Black, he thought, for no reason at all, and felt his stomach do another slow, leisurely flip inside him. Thanks to chirachira for pointing this out - it's a wonderfully constructed, long (always a favorite) Marauders fic set in their first year at Hogwarts (and how often does *that* happen?). And the characterization (my biggest, best-est button) races past spot-on to approach personal canon.

[Harry Potter] pair by mrmoonpants (Sirius/Remus). "But alas, I am, in fact, Remus Lupin's boyfriend!" Sirius declared, a little more loudly to be heard over them. "We are, it turns out, soul mates and life companions, and thus, we are dating! Seeing each other! Going together! A couple, a twosome, and a grand romance!" He banged a fist on the table for emphasis, declaring climactically: "Au pair!" And then, apparently inspired, "En flambé!" And then it turns out that she's written other stories. This one is my favorite - it's hysterically funny (to the point where I tear up just thinking about it) without being crack (per say, and stranger things have happened), as well as having excellent characterization, length, sex  etc. Sirius decides to play boyfriend, it's probably a joke, and Remus isn't laughing (much).
