Rec post... well, re-rec

[mhalachai]

The gods in payroll have smiled on me, and now I have a little extra cash to spend. Only a little, so I'm contemplating buying one thing only: an ergonomic office chair.

Anyway.

I last recc'ed this in March, 2005, but it's still awesome.

Blood Magic by gatewaygirl: A Severitus response. Blood magic was supposed to keep Harry safe, but his relatives are expendable. Blood magic was supposed to keep Harry looking like his adoptive father, but it's wearing off. Blood is a bond, but so is the memory of hate -- or love.

It's certainly interesting in light of what happened in Deathly Hallows *cough* One thing I like about this story is how it's both sweet and pragmatic.

PS I hate writer's block. Of all the characters in Harry Potter, why does Remus have to be the most difficult to write?

Blood Magic is one of the HP fics I keep coming back to. A lot of the fic I enjoyed my first time in the fandom didn't stand up to the re-read test (my 'Whee! New Fandom' glee of 2004 helped gloss over a lot of faults in the fics I was reading) but BM is as good on the fifth re-read as it was on the first.
