Today's Fanfiction Rec: Harry Potter
I love reading fan fiction. When I first discovered it, I was like "Wow! Free Books!" Slash is such an interesting branch of fan fiction because it opens a whole new world for the reader. I got tired of regular romance books a long time ago. Same old, same old. Booorrring! But slash is much more interesting. I'm not sure if I can really explain why, but I'm addicted. :)
Today's Recommendation is:
Sympathetic Magic by shedoc10.
It's rated R, & the pairing is Harry/Ron. This is a Ron rescues Harry from the Dursleys' novel. In many slash works, Ron becomes the Betrayer, the token Evil Guy, He-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Trusted, etc. This story gives us a whole new look at Ron as a protector and nurturer. The writing is reasonably clear and the characterization is quite believable. A sweet and tender work, maybe a little fluffy, but not excessively so. It is my favorite Ron/Harry story.
