dragonstag challenged me for this meme, and I really like this idea. Well done praevarus for coming up with it! And it fit really well today, because a fic was posted for the Salt and Pepper fest at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hp_goldenage for one of my prompt, and it fit perfectly!
1. Find a fanwork that is different from what you normally read. This can be a new genre, pairing, kink, fandom, or even just an author you've never read anything by.
2. Enjoy and leave some comment love for the author/artist.
3. Report back in a post and challenge three other people to do the same.

One Last Time by currently anonymous (Gen Harry, Petunia, Dudley).
I was really happy with this prompt and so excited when I saw it had been claimed. I haven't really read many (no?) stories where Harry and the Dursleys meet again after the war, so I was curious about how it'd be. This is a scene where Harry sees Petunia for the first time since the war on her deathbed. It is a really poignant and bitter sweet little story. It's quite short, but the author has managed to put so many feels into it and it works so well.
Okay, so I'm also having a weird hang-up in One Direction fanfics that I can't seem to get rid of. There are just so many great fics there! So here's a (for me) new pairing from that fandom too.
My remedy for yesterday by
brokendrums
It's a Harry/Niall future fic after the band is broken up. There are a lot of buried feelings and hearbreak and angst. It was really well done and quite sweet despite of all the angst. Probably not a new favourite pairing, but it worked quite well here.
-------------
One thing I've discovered by reading in another fandom is the amount of AU's that's there. It seems like 80% of the 1D fics out there are AUs. Like totally AUs, like Harry is the prince of England and Louis works for a group that handles pr crises (that one was quite good:P). I've never read in Merlin fandom, but from what I've seen it seems like AUs are a big thing there too. Why is that not more of a thing in Harry Potter? Not like Slytherin!Harry AUs, but Muggle AUs where they only keep their personalities and looks and relationships. From the top of my head I can only recall reading two, actually.
Okay, so tags:
capitu, bloodisshrp and nia_kantorka.
Also, here's a pimp for the Salt and Pepper fest:
