Monday Morning Antidote

[therealsnape]

Normally, I'm not much of a Monday morning person. But today started blissfully: three (yes, THREE new Minerva stories - winners, all of them.

I'd love to leave you one of those handy links that get you straigth to the story itself. Unfortunately I've an allergic reaction to my hands as a result of antibiotics, and something in my right wrist that feels as an inflammation of its own.

So please forgive me for getting you general directions - mouse clicking and the whole complicated copy-and-paste work is agony. In each case it's the most recent post on the journal, so click the username and you'll get there reasonably well, too.

kellychambliss posted "Still Waters", a Wilhelmina (Grubbly-Plank, need I say it?)/ Minerva story with large helpings of fish pie, chocolate gateau, and Amelia Bones. And it has illustrations by a talented young artist. It's a delight from start to finish.

lash_larue posted (hold on to your chairs, take a deep breath) a Minerva / Dobby story. For the faint-hearted: it's friendship. And a political statement on the position of Elves. And it has Mr. Toad. And it's chock-a-block with stunning oneliners.
She posted it to the marvellous new community minerva_fest. Go there, sign up if you haven't done so yet, enjoy this story.

For those who hadn't noticed yet: Minerva will be 85 this coming October, and the fest-community will celebrate that, but it's an ongoing feast there as well.

And finally acceb123 posted a Minerva/Snape that has it all: friendship, turning into a spectacular Grimmauld-place sexscene, some great comments on Albus ...

Go and have fun. Again, sorry for the lousy Portkeys, but I can only manage normal typing right now.

Sounds more than a touch uncomfortable, antibiotics are surely a two-edged sword. If your skin would tolerate it, those machines that melt wax for you to submerge hands in are fairly effective on inflamed joints, at least for a while.

Thank you for the shout-out on the story, and I hope you feel better soon. Ginny resents her friends being in pain.

Ginny's a darling -- and so are you. Thanks for the well-wishes, and I'll remember the molten wax thing. It sounds ... interesting. But that's probably because I read kellychambliss story 'Truth Beyond', which is considerably hotter than molten wax (but it plays its part). On her journal, if you don't know it yet.
Don't read if you have to look calm and controlled shortly after.
