I’m tired and restless and my attention span is nonexistent. I’ve been looking for something fast-paced and catching my attention from the very first line.
This delivered.
An absolute masterpiece of an opening scene.

Summary
“The House Cup. It’s official—they’re letting hedges compete.”
“Wow.” He doesn’t know why this seems to knock the wind out of him. It’s not as if he didn’t know this was coming. Can hardly forget an event that only occurs every twenty-one years. An event that at three-years-old was probably his first real memory. One of his only memories of, well, before. “That’s great, Lily…”
“It is. It really is." She smiles to herself. “Because we are going to wipe the floor with those prissy, gatekeeping, ‘classically trained’ wizards.”

I have fallen in love with lynxindisguise‘s writing. Siriusly (pun intended), I loved this so much. This author got me out of a reading slump and straight to “How is it 3am already? Well I guess I’ll be dead on my feet at work tomorrow.”
I can’t believe their talent: the banter, the characterization, the magical lore and word building (!!). Please someone erase my memory so I can reread it as if it was the first time.

It’s been a while since I last loved a fic this much: a bit of angst, a bit of joy, some dark humour and an overgrown puppy. I'm in love

Summary
Honestly, if someone told him this morning that he’s going to be attacked by a vampire on his way back from the library, rejected half a second later because apparently he’s not delicious enough for the guy’s liking, and then have said vampire concerned about his health – well, he’d tell them to check out the local GP when they next have the chance.
Surely this isn’t normal?

Sassy college student Remus meets Vampire Sirius may sound too silly to be good, but this one got me laughing out loud multiple times and will be a definite reread

This story is perfect - emotional, witty, hilarious. I had such a good time reading it.
(You’re really going to despise Sirius in the first chapter, but he improves so much throughout the story. I promise.)
