Recs: Shaggydog_swap

Hello hello. These are my favorite favorite fics from the 2011 [livejournal.com profile] shaggydog_swap fest, though there are many more that are so well written and entertaining. I'll likely be adding to this as well because I suffered Fandom Heartbreak at the beginning of this week and so still have a few more to read and comment on when I'm able. In the meantime...

Three Little Words by [livejournal.com profile] oftirnanog. MWPP era h/c, my favorite kind of fic. Brilliant James here, too.

Photograph of a Love Song by [livejournal.com profile] remuslives23 AU Sirius is a photographer, Remus is a jazz musician. Love ensues. some beautiful, sexy, romatic moments.

Shadows from Five Billion Trees by [livejournal.com profile] amuly MWPP era gorgeous, gorgeous work

This Is Who You Are by [livejournal.com profile] so_jayded First War (with MWPP era) As her summary says, experience makes the man. Loved this.

This Is the Life by [livejournal.com profile] xkeijukainenx AU after the war with a Remus who never attended Hogwarts. I love this to bits. The dialogue, characterization, pacing, plot--everything--was exactly right for me. This is very different Remus, one who is at turns obnoxiously camp and heartbreakingly fragile. I just loved it.

When the Bubble Bursts by [livejournal.com profile] remuslives23. An AU that changes the events following Lily and James' death. It's just that first night but so very beautifully told, and so very realistic.

Sunlight by [livejournal.com profile] binarykittens Wonderful dialogue, lots of boys being boys. There's a lovely structure to the story, and the writing is really brilliant as is the characterization. There were a tons of lines I'd love to quote back, especially the last. It was all so perfect.

I Haven't Got a Fishing Pole by [livejournal.com profile] rhye An interesting take on the art, definitely a good, creative use. Quite funny.

Washed on the Shore of Second Chance by [livejournal.com profile] mindabbles Gorgeous AU that gives Sirius a second chance with a Remus who doesn't know him. There's a lot of flirting :D and a great coming together.

Since by [livejournal.com profile] archduck An AU where Remus passes away from his lycanthropy, this fic takes a beautifully well written and incredibly sensitive look at how Sirius deals with the aftermath. Sad, yes, but also hopeful in the end, and so well done.
