hp_silencio, where you'll find a wonderfully-written story where Minerva and Filius mourn for Severus's death.
This is a story to read twice. The first time, just let this exquisitely-written dirge of love and friendship wash over you.
The second time, note the way the author works with silence.
The principle of Silencio is to write a story without dialogue, and it is tempting to replace that by a stream-of-conscious-like memory of dialogue.
This author avoids that brilliantly. Every significant part of the story is played out without words, and yet it doesn't feel gimmicky - it shows how much can be said in silence, in body language, looks, actions.
In the entire story there is only one speech-tag, apologised, in the small scene featuring Sirius. And you'll find that the words that clearly must have been said are meaningless: what matters, what angers Filius with an anger this old school marm has felt herself more than once, is unspoken.
I've raved at indecent length in my comments and I'll not repeat that here - it is, after all, a Silencio story.
Go and read Vigil.

Despite multiple people telling them they have no right under CCL to steal our intellectual property, they refuse to stop. Right now, as me and others dig for the proper way to shut them down, we can only warn people they've stolen from and let you know that you can complain, and they seem to be removing entries. This person actually said to me in response to me saying what they were doing was wrong:
“and why not? Until they explicit deny it, i have all right to do anything. Its basic freedom rights of peoples. If you dont want to you fanfic been read or copied, dont make it public.”
They then edited that comment because CLEARLY they know they’re in the wrong, but I’ve got the email in case anyone wants a screencap. The thing is, they aren’t going to stop.
If you wish to complain you can go here:
http://fanfic-journal.com/complain-here/
Be clear because they are slimy. Request they delete all your entries and never copy any more.
Best wishes, and sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
