winterfic

[phineasjones]

it snowed here all day yesterday. it's was pretty and made me feel calm(ish) and happy. and it made me want to read seasonally appropriate fic. i don't really have time right this moment for that, but i would love to collect some links to do the reading later.

so this is a request for fic that takes place in winter... and has a winter theme or feel about it. and i will not make you do all the work! no. i have some winterfic links to share with you. multifandom even!

HP:
the way of the world by zionsstarfish. if you haven't read this yet... i don't know. i just feel a little sorry for you. it's the most beautiful of beautiful winter-y stories. solemn and sad but sweet and hopeful. and every little detail is so clear and so important. possibly my favorite fic of all time.

this wanton snow by musesfool. short scenes from winters over the years. the changes in sirius feel so true and so heartbreaking.

LOTRIPS:
as the snow falls by camillafarfalla. elijah, gen-ish. this beautiful fic captures that feeling - thrilling and calming and hopeful and melancholy - of snow, especially snow in the city.
omg, camilla, put this story in your memories right now.

DARK IS RISING
while shepherds watched by ashkitty. she calls this 'sap' in her summary and... maybe so. but it's the best kind of sap, then. comforting and lovely.

those are completely off-the-top-of-my-head recs. i'm sure i could come up with a bunch more if i had the time to dig around. but if you have any off the tops of your heads, or the time to dig around, i would love to know. share!
