In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Rec # 1: Hit Me With Your Best Shot by SoftObsidian74.
You guys, this fic is a lot older than it looks!It got reposted to Ao3 in 2013, but really its from Adult-Fanfiction from circa 2010ish. It's a Harry/Pansy fic, she flounces in to his office and tries to tell him what to do and instead sexy times ensues. It's smutty and snarky and fun.
I particularly recommend it because it's the fic that got me into writing Harry/Pansy in the first place. That got me into to writing at all; that Harry/Pansy was the first thing that I had't read this and ended up writing my own Harry/Pansy piece, I wouldn't be writing this here today.
Rec # 2: The Scarab by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

This is a Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Stargate SG-1 Crossover, so very different from the stuff I read/write here. It has stayed bookmarked on my browser for quite some time now. It was recommended to me on another board as perhaps the best crossover between those two stories. And it shows. A Goa'uld turns up in Sunnydale, brainwashing vampires and demons to do it's bidding as it tries to take over the hellmouth. Buffy fights it and eventually SG-1 gets called into to help out. It's a very clever blending of the two shows; keeps everyone in character and hits several interesting parallels between characters and develops them all and doesn't break either canon, slotting neatly into the gap between s4 and s5 for Buffy and somewhere in early S4 for SG-1
Very fun, funny and satisfying read.
Rec # 3: Ask Lavender byely_baby
This is the Definitive Hugo/Lily (Lugo) fic. When looking through my rec tags I was surprised to see I hadn't ever done a proper post on this one.
So just post Hogwarts Hugo and Lily move into Harry and Ron's old flat, Hugo wants to be a professional Beater and Lily plans to be a Quidditch Correspondent, but instead ends up writing an Agony Aunt column (the titular Ask Lavender). It's a novel length fic, crammed packed with sexual tension, jealously, and smut. There's a cleverness to the plot that allows the principal character to both have many steamy scenes while still having UST. The characters feel realistic and complex, by turns nice and kind to each other, and then jealous and brooding so there is a lovely dichotomy to their characters.
It's not a quick read by it is very much worth it.
