I've been catching up on my reading today, and here are a few gems you really should check out. I'm supposed to be doing all sorts of other necessary fannish things, so I'll be quick about it.

Did you ever happen to wonder how exactly a Minister for Magic is appointed? You'll find the answer in a description of events surrounding the election of Rufus Scrimgeour. It's not a fic. It's a fascinating collection of original Wizarding documents, varying from Wizengamot meetings to Ministerial Memoranda to the most informal of meeting notes from Albus Dumbledore's private office.
The artwork and layout alone make this a wonderful experience, and the story is ~~hilarious~~ a gripping tale of one of the most interesting times in wizarding history. You'll find it at

springtime_gen: Ministry Business - Official or Otherwise.

Another fine

springtime_gen story is As Clever Does. A character study of Horace Slughorn, Seamus Finnegan, Pansy Parkinson, and Luna Lovegood. The story describes the movements of these four characters during a single night and morning at Hogwarts, and the four portraits are brilliant. Horace is just so, in all his self-justification, Seamus will surprise you pleasantly, Pansy is a young entrepreneur who will go very far indeed, and Luna has just the right mix of quirkiness and intelligence. And each of them they are clever in their own way.

Since it's Friday today, and you could probably all do with a little relaxation, hop over to the Three Broomsticks. Rosmerta deals with her customers, Minerva deals with various annoyances, and for all of us the drinks are on the house. After reading some of Rosmerta's memories, you'll want a little something on the rocks to cool yourself down.
At

femmefest: Friday Night at the Three Broomsticks.

And last but most definitely not least: a stunningly beautiful story of Griselda Marchbanks and Bathilda Bagshot (with background Gellert/Albus). The characterisations are exceptional; the description of dementia is both touching and painfully accurate; the story fits beautifully with canon, and the writing is unbelievable. If you read just one story this month, make it this. If you read just one this year, make it this, too.
For me it's the highlight of the three fests combined: over at

hp_beholder you'll find The Ladies of Godric's Hollow.

Just hop over to

hp_beholder and read Fair is Fair and Life is Not (Though Tea Helps an Awful Lot).

It's Pomona/Filius.
It's beautifully written, with images that will bring tears to your eyes.
It's full of glorious touches of humour and wonderful details that'll make you feel as if you're present.

It's utterly brilliant. Get over now!

Oh, and for those of you who weren't in the same time-zone as The Wedding of The Century (on behalf of William's unborn children I'd like to protest - they might put up a good show, too, and it's not unreasonable to suppose they will do so before reaching retirement age), here's a link to what happened. I found this on

shiv5468's journal and I loved it.

My dears, hop over at once for an absolutely brilliant romance. It's full of marvellous banter, a suitably drawling upper class hero, a feisty heroine, and old ladies for the win.

Ginny wishes to pursue her career as a Holyhead Harpies player. (BTW, Ginny is a visualiser, like us! And boy, does Draco give her an image to work with!)

Molly wishes only what's best for her darling daughter. She does feel, however, that the 'best' is not a 24-year-old who still lives at home, expect food on all occasions, and strews dirty Quidditch clothes all over the place without contributing as much as a knut in rent or a single Scourgify spell.

Draco wishes he hadn't lost the bet to his father, for now he has to accompany his mum all through the Season.

Muriel doesn't indulge in silly wishes. She just gets her own way.

For a thoroughly enjoyable read, go to Auntie Muriel's Guide to a Romantic Intervention"

In case anyone has missed it: there's a new

kellychambliss story up: In Its Deepest Being.

It's a Poppy / Narcissa story (yes, that's the pairing) and it's one of those gems in which every word is just so. Poppy's internal monologue is a masterpiece, and at the end you still don't know whether she's right in condemning herself or in justifying.

Exquisite.

If only I could hope that one day I'd be able to produce something like that.

(You can't, TRS.)

Instead, I'll just wax lyrical in my recs.

(Or you could put a sock in it and let people read the story.)

In honour of International Women's Day, three recs of our dear Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank, who is spreading her wings more and more in fandom. There was a time when one story per year was cause for rejoicing, but now we've had three great ones in as many months.

The first one is by

lash_larue: Wilhelmina, a Love Story. It explores the growing relationship between Wilhelmina and Minerva, and it's a beautifully-written characterisation of Wilhelmina and her pipes. And the reason behind those pipes.

But there's more than pipes to The Wilster. She has a tool-belt, too. And Poppy ~~loves that~~ wishes she would be more careful with it; patching her up is a daily ~~joy~~ routine. An utterly enjoyable and heartwarming read with all of

tetleythesecond trademark insight and wit. Patients and Perseverance

Finally, for a scholarly and educational finish,

kellychambliss wrote Miss Grubbly-Plank finds herself. In which we learn that the Forbidden Section of Hogwarts Library contains several highly instructive books on sex. Think Kama Sutra. But Kama Sutra à la Witchcraft - the pursuit of knowledge means more than reading alone. We get Radclyffe Hall and Virginia Woolf references. Miss Chambliss always does her research herself. And she clearly managed to find this particular part of the library in spite of the protective spells and gives us a fabulous overview of Wizard and Muggle sexology authors alike.

If you managed to miss any of these stories, go and check them out now!

And there's one non-Wilster story everyone should read. It has a gorgeous plotline involving among other things the wizarding escort service; there are fabulous funny lines galore, two IC Hogwarts teachers - why, even Rita Skeeter herself felt the story was worth writing. Hop over to Can't Buy Me Love. This story will make you love Sybill Trelawney and Gilderoy Lockheart. Go read it. It's by

albalark.

Friends,

Abandon whatever useful thing you're doing right now, forget about the harshness of Monday mornings, and hop over to enjoy a few Snapely Snacks.

During the

minerva_fest, we had the wonderful story A Charming Man, in which Gilderoy applies for a post at Hogwarts. It contained the tantalizing line Of course, I also have my own collection of hair-care products that I personally created

In my review, I said, "And he will offer them to Snape, I know he will."

The fabulous

curia_regis has written that story (as well as A Charming Man, btw), and it's a little gem. Go and enjoy Silky Hair and Other Charms.

And while browsing the web, an absolute necessity on a day that is marked for ironing, preparing lessons, and generally being a useful member of RL, I found two great images of Snape in his study.

Sullen-skrewt drew this elegant art-nouveau version of Chez Severus.

And FizzingWhizbees created a wonderfully disgruntled Snape. I could live in those studies. I covet the litte occasional table with the snakey legs, and, most of all, I covet the amount of still empty shelf-spaces Severus has. Those books can be packed much closer, unlike my own shelves. Oh, for a Shrinking Spell.

Off now to RL. But at least I'm not the only one procrastinating now.

How's that for tacky alliteration?

But the Minerva-fest did offer various great reads lately, and I haven't recced them since my previous fest-post.

First of all, there's Free Falling, a beautifully-written and utterly IC exploration of a different kind of relationship. It's Rolanda/Minerva, and I know this description is rather cryptic, but giving more information would spoil the narrative. Just read it; it's a marvel.

No, don't just read it, leave a comment. As usual, the last few fics on a fest got much less attention. I know I'm preaching to the converted, as most of you have already read and commented extensively, but for those who haven't, please do!

Then, there's the delightful Witches Abroad, which is not a story about what they get up to on Samhain or Beltane or other nights when the dears are traditionally abroad. This is the literal variety: a road-trip in Germany, with lovely sights and recognizable emotions. Read Minerva's holiday letters. (She's much better at getting her daily writing done than I am.)

The Lost Country offers a very complex, wonderfully written, and completely IC take on the relationship between Minerva and her mother. Now you probably want to tell me to stop blathering, since Minerva's mother is a completely unknown entity in canon, so how could she be IC? This take on Morven is. This is so exactly what Minerva's mother could have been, it's my personal canon now. And the Poppy-cameos are brilliant, too.

And last but certainly not least, there's the terrific take on my prompt, Un/bound, and there's more femmeslashy goodness than just the title. Minerva and Wilhelmina both prepare for what will be their last night together for a very long time (the story is set during DH), and the author gives preparations that are delicious, great images, and wonderful backstory woven in. It's utterly brilliant, and I'm deeply grateful to my mystery author. And I think I know who you are, my dear, I can't wait to see whether I'm right.

As to RL, I have written, I am writing (but not the right kind, this doesn't advance my plot), I will write, and hopefully by the end of this week I will have written one story.
Oh, drat it, that's fannish life, not RL.
Well, then, I have teached, I will teach in half an hour or so, but obviously I'm not teaching currently. Most entertaining teaching moment of the week: my colleague at the cramming courses, who had a particularly annoying parental email: "This mother! Quelle ... what's an arsehole in French?" She got a full, scholarly explanation and is now learning that by heart.

Just in case there's anyone on the flist who doesn't follow

minerva_fest on a daily RSI-from-refresh-clicking base, here are two recs. I'm rather late to join the rec'cing fun, but my, it's busy. A Minerva story a DAY! I'm used to about one every few weeks, and a rec-worthy one every month or so. Keeping up with the reading-and-commenting is quite a job.

( Whinge under the cut )
But let's have some fun as well. After all, life, or at least LJ, has its compensations, and well-written Kittyhawk definitely is one. So is Amelia/Minerva. And here's a story that has it all: The Thermodynamics of the Moka Pot. It's a completely believable, beautifully written story of Minerva and Rolanda, Minerva and Amelia, Minerva and the Moka Pot, Rolanda and her Broom, and much more. And it has a red-hot sex scene. And a stream of invective that'll have you scream with laughter. Merlin-in-Lavender, indeed!
Stunningly well-written, all of it.

One teaser: Amelia Bones was united with her job in blissful matrimony. Everything else was affairs.

And then there's another one, The Conference.
It has it all: the endless meetings, the insufficient breakfast buffet, the rooms with matching curtains, the pointless "discussion parts", and my two favourite INTJ's to enjoy it.

Teaser: "Look at them! They'd kill me! Or worse, talk to me." Sums it up. And no, it wasn't a walking dinner, but poor Severus still suffered.

Which is as good a means of procrastination as anything.

I must admit that my own contribution in the daring pairing stakes is pitifully small. I've written a couple of Snape/Minerva friendship stories, and - surely that must count for something - a Snape/Slughorn.

Funny thing is, I had meant that as a story in which Slughorn sees Snape as the son he never had. And I thought I had made that perfectly clear; I even worried I had insulted my readers by making it too clear. But there's the wonderful bit about freedom of interpretation: I've had reviews turning that story into all sorts of things, from deep friendship to slash. And no-one mentioned Father/Son bonding. Which means that I'm now officially allowed to offer this up as a Black Dress and Velvet Jacket pairing.

I must say that I tend to agree with

r_gravejoy in that LBD's do have their limits, and Luna (Gravejoy calls her a pair of glittery, bright purple combat boots,) doesn't accessorize well. Nor does, to my mind, Trelawney. But then I don't want to write Trelawney, period.
And I do love to write Snape/Minerva being good friends and being sarcastic together. One of these days I'll bed them, and that's a promise.

In the meantime, I'd like to point you towards two of my absolute favourites. The first one is the perfect metaphor for my attitude towards Little Black Dresses in Real Life: I love them, I think they're marvellously stylish, I'd love to fill my closet with them, but I can't. Black doesn't suit me. I look like I'm attending my own funeral when I wear black close to the skin. Hence my obsession with black pumps - I can wear those.

Well, here's the story, and I couldn't write anything like it if my life depended on it, but I love reading it: Minerva is a slash-fangirl. And she has her birthday, so she should have a special treat, her friends and well-wishers think. Or do they? The ending is tantalizing. The bit in between is outspoken and surprising. And it's Albus/Severus. And at some point Minerva/Severus. And (from top to bottom) Albus/Severus/Minerva. Enjoy Dinner and a Show, by the fabulous

purplefluffycat.

The other one isn't so much Severus in a LBD, but Severus in the black turtleneck and black trousers once so beloved by Left Bank Existentialist groupies. It's a marvellously clever take on Sartre's Huis Clos (No Exit), with undertones of Waiting for Godot. Severus, Remus, and a carpet with an attitude. It's brilliant.
Do treat yourself to A Way Out by

shiv5468

All of you out there, go over and read Elemental by

purplefluffycat.

It's Minerva/Albus, Minerva/Slughorn, Albus/Slughorn.
And it's utter brilliance. Reviewers have offered their firstborn child for this.

kellychambliss mentioned a new magazine in her journal:

cackling_crone.
The Cackling Crone seems to be a quarterly magazine for the mature and professional witch (that's us, isn't it?). First issue will appear in June, or so they say, with a background article on Kelly's marvellous story Truth Beyond.
Oh, and it's run by Rita Skeeter herself. They even have a recipe section, and the first one seems easy and very good - Marge and Vernon would hate it.

It's all brand new, and I've no idea what we'll see next, but I'll watch it.

Also, speaking of Mature, Professional witches, there's a brilliant Amelia Bones story out at the

springtime_gen. It's called The Camel's Back, and witches don't come more M&P than this.

I'm planning a career change that hopefully involves moving to the UK - Cornwall to be precise. In between the packing of suitcases and ironing of white shirts, I found time for some recs. Details ( here )

Hop over to

femmefest and read my gift.
It's utterly wonderful.
Minerva/Poppy, and brilliantly in-character Minerva/Poppy, too.
It's called Four Colours Poppy Pomfrey Loves and One She Hates.
You'll love those colours too. And the backstory the author weaves in. And Poppy's fantasies. Even her hospital wing.
Not to mention the petticoats, the corset, and the calf-high heeled boots.

I've been admirably restrained in my review, if I may say so, and there are plenty of lines left for you to rave about. Go and enjoy yourselves, but before you go, take a good, long look at the icon I've used. Study Minerva's green robe. It's the last time you'll look at it like this.

The story I'm rec'ing is too good to post friends locked, so a small word of explanation is in order.

In my last (friends locked, sorry folks) journal entry on the tragic events at the Annual Meeting of our Neighbourhood Society, I casually mentioned piano femmeslash. Just for the record, I have normal moments too. They're just few and far between.
And there was a reason: I was listening to a piano called Fraulein Bluethner, a grand who travels everywhere, including to Berlin. And I happen to know of an upright called Ortrud who lives in Berlin. With a mind like mine ...

I'm very fortunate in a flist who doesn't defriend the perv on the spot, but actually takes up the theme and improvises in strange and wonderful ways.

tetleythesecond and

lash_larue changed my ideas on pianos forever (and did wonders for my vocabulary - didn't even know the term 'upright' before).

It started with an allegretto grazioso There may even be sex manuals for them, "Keys to String-snapping Crescendos", or, "Dimenuendo to Extend Your Pleasure." Perhaps even, "Pump Your Own Pedals", in the self-help section.

After that last image, we had a much needed Andante Moderato with some technical questions such as Is Fraulein Bluethner a grand or an upright? And does she have candleholders?

You'll remember that Ortrud is an upright; the general feeling is that they are somewhat butch by nature, whereas Fraulein B. is, according to one who knows (not me!) so soft, so incredibly sensitive to the touch, and so very, very chesty. And never harsh in the upper register because they have an extra chord there!

There was a Vivacissimamente reaction of I never thought about candlesticks; Dear God, can you be as sick as I am?

Then 36 hours of sostenuto, and here it is: And Ortrud / Fraulein Bluethner piano femmeslash story. All you have to do is click here Allegro appassionato. The wonderfully talented

lash_larue has writen a fic that'll make your heart sing too. And towards the crescendo various other body parts join in.

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.

Over at

rarepair_shorts the winter fic exchange is nearing its end, and the mods pointed out that the crisis seems to have hit the reviews as well: far less than last year.

Well, I know how much I love getting reviews, so here's a small collection of very readable fics - and since they're, obviously, all 'shorts' (less than 2K) it won't take you long to read one and leave a small comment.
Just think how good that'll make you feel.

I've added a teaser for each story. Have fun!

And he prided himself on his controlled behavior, so much so that when the flailing arm of the fellow next to him knocked off Percy’s glasses, Percy merely retrieved them with his wand and a polite “Excuse me.”

Well, love can strike suddenly. And unexpectedly.
I blame

duniazade , for writing such a marvellous fic. The birthday boy will love it. It contains an invitation to do whatever he likes to precious Won-Won. I mean, how good can life get? On the downside, he's taken for an Inferi. But he has been called worse in his life. (The word coward springs to mind.) And in the end, he gets the girl.

Both stories come from the Snapely Birthday Bash at

severusbigbang.

Sorry for not using an LJ-cut. It's still internet hell in Spinner's End. We now hope for better times next week. Yes, so we did last week, which is why I'm slowly getting as tight as an owl on Chianti.

By the way, both precious Won-Won and the icon are courtesy of Ms

kellychambliss whose brilliant stories and cake-baking skills alike keep me sane.

No, I haven't turned into a Hyacinth Bouquet-fan all of a sudden. It's just that, occasionally, one realises that one's flist consists of people who have Discerning Tastes.
Our kind of people, in fact. They write excellent pairings (Snape / McGonagall) and like to read them.

So I'm using this space for the shameless promotion (let's not use that vulgar expression) of some SS/MM fic, written for the Beloved Git's 50th birthday. Which happens to be today.

I'd love to leave a link to every story individually. Unfortunately, the internet situation at Spinner's End is still not good. I'll just leave a link to the masterlist, which you will find here.

In order of appearance:

kellychambliss is a participant. That's recommendation enough, no need to gild the lily. Still, it's a marvellous story about an OC in best Kelly-style, a young American girl who wants to be a writer when she grows up. (My apologies, Miss Adela; that was tactless. You're quite grown-up already. "When she's even older", I meant). She faces the problem all of us face: to be a writer, to have a pen and paper isn't enough. One needs A Plot, or, failing that, Interesting Persons to write about. Luckily, there's the neighbours ...
It's rated PG13, but I'd like to add a warning: for those who visualise, there is a rather disturbing image involving the Giant Squid. Hints of ... well, go on and read. It's not as if anyone ever heeds my warnings.

queen_of_snapes has a lovely story on what Minerva and Severus get up to when they meet at the Three Broomsticks.

And I wrote a little something for the Birthday Boy, too. It is a one-shot, but one can read it as a sequel to Truth be Told.

The internet situation is in crisis mode again at Spinner's End. I'm mildly stoic about it. That is, I rave and rant inwardly while thinking up alternative ways to get my WIP from my (internet-wise useless) laptop to my mail for my darling beta. What I ought to do is finish the damned story. Which is why I'm reccing stuff, of course. Anything to keep me from actual work.

Here's a missing scene from OotP that badly needed writing. It's set when Minerva returns from St Mungo's after the stunner attack. Harry and the others have just left. Characteristically, Harry left without saying something nice to his Head of House, who just gave 50 points to bloody Gryffindor. He might have come up with 'glad you're not dead, Professor', he might even have managed something really tactful (that's stretching it, I know). But there it is.

Anyhow, Snape and McGonagall continue their talk. Go read it.

Fair

These recs are OOC, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. It's as OOC as Merlin's beard. Merlin, alleged Greatest Wizard of His Time, being locked up in an oak tree by a mere chit of a girl simply because at an exceptionally mature -nay, ripe- old age he was still not thinking with his brain but rather with his ... shall we say 'wand'?
Let me therefore repeat, emphatically, that this entry is as OOC as Merlin's Beard (I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly OOC about Merlin's beard, for the beard is about the one thing that links the old goat to other great wizards such as Albus and Gandalf, but the wisdom of the ancestors is in the simile; and as I type 'old goat' I can suddenly see their point).

Its OOC-ness must be clearly understood, or you'll start wondering whether some other author has broken into my journal.
There are various good reasons for it. As the flist knows, the Humbug Season invariably causes these funny attacks - although they will agree that in the turkey posting I was still recognizably myself.
But today ...
Just one day after what we in Holland call 'second Christmas day' (we don't do things by halves, here), the magic still works.
Yesterday my cousin came to dinner; with his wife, in-laws and various others we sat down eight and had a lovely evening.
So the three Spirits still strive within me (Who said, "Mulled wine, port, and Burgundy"? I heard that. Very funny. Ten points for whatever house you're in.)

Here's the rec for Christmas Past. It's a Next-Gen story, called Hugo's Christmas Gift.
The author may not quite have reached JKR's standard of ponctuation, but he/she far exceeds her in the portrayal of boys. Hugo is perceptive, sensitive, and funny. And, the main reason for the rec, Ron, while perfectly IC, is not the emotionally clueless oaf JKR depicted. There'a a wonderful moment of father/son bonding at the end that is a delight. Go read it, you'll be warbling carols again before you can say Tiny Tim.

And the second one, for Christmas Yet to Come, Illustrations to 'Home Studies', is a combination of art and a story. Read the story first, the link is provided by the thoughtful artist.
In the first section, on 'Transfiguration', the word 'table' itself should perhaps have been Transfigured a couple of times, but do read on. The story goes from strenght to strenght. Snape discovers a new scope for his potion skills, but remains wonderfully Snapish throughout. There's a very believable MM/HG friendship and an adorable cameo of little Rose. Yes. Another Next Gen moment. The story ends with a bedscene that is written realistically, tenderly, and with admirable restraint.
The artist did wonders, too, especially with little Rose and the bedscene.

Enjoy. And no fear, I'll be back to normal soon! As Christmas Present simply isn't on on December 27th, I've no further excuse to procrastinate any longer and I'm off to do the washing-up.
