Lady Fyre Recommends...

Tuesday, October 15, 2002

Woops, my bad.It's been 2 weeks since I updated, and since then I've increased my already vast List of Fics to Recommend. This week, I'm actually going to recommend 3 just to make up for the 2 weeks I missed as well as this week's Fic.

The first fic is the one I promised, Imogen's follow-up to "Carpe Diem", Alpha and Omega. It's the summer before Harry's seventh year and Voldemort is steadily gaining in power. While spending the last part of the holidays at the Burrow, Dumbledore visits and has a shocking proposal for Harry. Revelations abound, plans for the future are suddenly moved up, and Harry forgets Valentines Day. Huh? What does that have to do with anything? Read and find out!

The second fic is a humour/humor fic. Snape is prowling the Hogwarts corridors one Hogsmeade weekend and overhears a converstion in the Trophy Room that's a bit hard to believe. FUNNY. I swear, I was alternately giggling and sniggering while reading this. Lina Inverse the Dramata's Trapped will give you a prime example of why you shouldn't eavesdrop on a conversation.

And lastly, a fic that has nothing to do with Harry Potter (See? I do read other fandoms!!) and everything to do with the Dark Knight. First, a bit of background. I first stumbled across this fic last May of 2001. Completely bored and suddenly curious, I clicked on a link and found this fantastic author of Batman and Nightwing fics (some of her Hogan's Heroes fics are good too). I first read "Little Boy Lost" (LBL) and was absolutely hooked onto BatFamily fics, especially those dealing with Bruce and Dick's father/son relationship. LBL was the start for me and even if you're not a fan of the Bat Family you may just become one, like what happened to me.

Little Boy Lost deals with what happens when a nine-year old Dick Grayson is taken from the circus and everyone he has ever loved after the deaths of his aerialist parents. He is placed in a "temporary" shelter while waiting for a foster home but soon runs away into a seedy Gotham. Bruce Wayne does everything in his power to bring a little boy that reminds him of himself to a family that cares and out of a heartless system. "LBL" is Syl's rendition of Dick's first meeting with the Bat and how he found a new family.

Next entry: I'm still thinking about it. You'll see when I do. =)

Feed me!!! I need feedback!!
