magnetic_poleA quick and belated rec for my gift over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hoggwartyxmas before tomorrow's reveals. I was delighted to receive a beautifully written, thoughtful, and slyly humorous after-the-final-battle fic, (Finding) Life After Voldemort, (Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, Pomona Sprout, Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin, Lily Potter, Eileen Snape, various background pairings, PG-13, 3500 words) Five pairs of characters--some likely, some unlikely--chart out what their lives will be like in a post-war world.
This is precisely the kind of fic I love most, one with realistically sketched, adult characters who are struggling to connect with one another and find their way in the face of adversity or change. Some of the conversations are missing-chapter conversations we know *must* have happened (Minerva confronting Snape after the last battle and finally talking about his loyalties) and some are the kind of unexpected meta-commentary that's only possible in fanfic (Eileen shoving Remus out of the afterlife to help take care of her son and reconciling--in her brusque, roundabout way--with Severus' old friend Lily). Read and enjoy! I can't wait to find out who wrote this gentle and intelligent story.
