Here are the non-Yuletide recs. No pretty pictures and categories this time because I don't have quite enough for that to be worth it. ;)
Harry Potter:
Five People Lily Evans Never Fell in Love With by
_thirty2flavors- Lily/surprise pairings. Oh wow, this is really good. I can't even pick which one is my favorite. All of them seem so true to her character. Thanks to
randomneses for the rec! :D
Three Septembers and a January by Anonymous- Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny, R. In September 2002, Harry walks into a pub during a rainstorm and his relationship with Ginny changes forever. Oh, awesome. All of the characters are spot-on, in my opinion.
Heroes:
Barrel of a Gun by
ghagiel- Mohinder/Sylar, NC-17. Spoilers for 211. Mmm, gunkink. What? Stop looking at me that way!
Four Ways Claire Became a Petrelli, and One Way She Didn't by
misfit_fandoms- Claire, Peter, Nathan, PG-13. Four ways that Claire became one of the family. Things that stay secret, and things that don't. Her daddy issues, and how things always seem to come back to Peter.
War Story by
plotbunny_tiff- Matt/Mohinder, PG. Nice little drabble about their family dynamic.
The Geography of Sorrow by
sinemoras09- Mohinder, Maya, PG. Yay, more Maya/Mohinder-ishness. :)
the only choices you have left are how you're going to die by
erode- Mohinder/Sylar, R. I love this. A perfect hot moment of reaction when the two of them realize together that he's not Zane Taylor.
Blinders by
isagel- Mohinder/Sylar, PG, 5YG verse. I love the third one the most I think. Aww, Sylar.
Fence by
tiptoe39- Matt/Mohinder, PG-13. Aww, I love this. Matt and Mohinder have to get used to living with each other.
Dead Breadcrumbs by
ginger_noodle- Peter/Elle, PG-13. Nice. The ambiguity of this really makes it work.
Father Figure by
oh_mcgee- Noah/Elle, NC-17. Mmm. Hot and very in-character, I think.
Telephone by
theendofalice- Mohinder/Bennet, NC-17. Phonesex, which is hopefully obvious from the title. Really really hot. Something about Monnet phonesex is hot to me, I guess.
Also, if you're wanting more and/or better organized Heroes fic recs, check my tag
here. For some reason the last one wasn't linked in the Heroes newsletter. :P
