rurounihime: (reading fic by viciousgurl)
After a long break, it's another rec day. ^_^ My rec choice of today is... JAMIE2109. It's Celebrate Jamie Day!

[livejournal.com profile] jamie2109 is one of those sweet, unassuming people who just brings light to the fandom every time she posts. She is the keeper of the holy and wondrous Amazing Weekly Drabble Thingy, which is still one of the best ideas to come through fandom in a while. And even with this commitment, she still manages to turn out gorgeous fic in all shapes and sizes. Whether writing on her own or with a buddy, she is very prolific, and thank goodness for that, because it's just lovely.

Now for the recs. Yeah, I'm still not disclaiming anything, so everyone flock to the author's personal warnings and such and don't look at me.

The Jamie List:

(Note: I have chosen not to include the links to her co-authored stories, even though I have favourites in that category too. This list is strictly Jamie.)

Let's start off with a bang.

White

H/D, rated NC-17

There's just one colour that Harry wants to see, and only one customer who can give it to him. Oh my GUH. This fic. Jeez. Harry is so nicely jaded and this is rough and cracked and searing... There is a little violence that may squick, but the emotional journey is very nice indeed.

...
...

It's Not Dying

H/D, rated PG-13

A Muggle disease hits the Wizarding world and Draco's loss is staggering. Oh, ouch. I remember when I first read this one, way back... It packs a punch every time. Be prepared to weep.

...
...

Codes of Morality

H/D, 8 parts, rated G - R

Harry has a tried and tested method for turning the loyalties of Voldemort's followers, and he does not deviate, not even for Draco Malfoy. Eek, Darkish!Harry. Lurvely lurvely Darkish!Harry. Draco's pain at being betrayed is vibrant and Harry just sweeps the shadows with his attitude toward life and the pursuit of victory.

...
...

This is How My Heart Breaks

H/D, rated R

Poetic and painful. I love the musical metaphor, and Jamie is so good at this type of thing. Again with the excruciating detail and tactile imagery... You can hear and see and feel everything.

...
...

And last but not least, my favourite:

Please Don't Ask Me

H/D, 4 chapters, ratings up to R

Harry's married with another baby on the way. But happiness is so much more complicated than that. Oh, heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking. This fic refuses to leave you; it just clings and tightens its hold, and there really is no escape for either the reader or the characters. The descriptions are so frank and specific and caustic, the emotions so damn tangible... This fic is very nearly perfect.

...

I read White the other day, and woah, it killed me dead. Killed me dead! It was just so... darkishly queer. Jamie portrayed Harry's frame of mind so well.

Thankies for the recs.

:)

Totally with you on the Celebrate Jamie day! Jaz / Mere have been OTP for a very long time. She's one of my dearest friends, the best hugger, a great writer, and a truly kind and supportive lady.

She's also a little wicked.

Everyone should fangirl her madly, as I do, but I'm also very, very proud to call her my mate. ♥

Wow, these are lovely. I thinks I need to tour the fandom again, because there's so much wonderful fic I never knew existed.

Also, have you ever read fleshdress? She's a wonderful author of rare couples. I think you should go look her up in LJ, because I have no idea of how to link you.

You lucky bum, you. ^___^ Haha, I love the icon! Sounds like a match made in heaven. *snuggles both of you because I CAN* ♥

Heh, sweets, how've you been? ^__^

Yes, I agree. Some holidays should definitely happen more often, no?

Thank you for giving us all such lovely work! And it was my pleasure to do this, my dear. I love your stories, and your presence in the fandom really does make the place brighter. ♥

It's fun to find authors that just write exquisite fic, isn't it? Such a treat...

I will look her (him?) up! Thank you for the heads-up. ♥

I was completely prepared to shower you with love because I'd only read one of those fics and ended up reading and loving all of them, except for the tiny glitch where that last made me unbearably sad and now I can do nothing but mope.

(Beautiful writing, though.)

Oh, I know. It is a depressing one. But I decided to save my fave for last... *hugs*
