Recs - Snupin art & Pansy/Ginny fic
I've evidently been a very good this year, because the fest Santas have brought me two more absolutely wonderful gifts.

First, the amazing Snape/Lupin/another Snape?! fanart POV  (mildly NWS).
There are so many things I love about this Snupin Santa art, starting with the scorching hot kiss between Lupin and the first Snape (alright, it's Tonks in Snape-form - yay subverted Remus/Tonks!). It's a very sexy, evocative pose with Lupin's fist bunched in Snape's hair and Snape's hand curled around Lupin's neck. Then of course there's the real Snape looking on from the doorway, wearing altogether too many clothes and a definite blush. I also love the artist's suggestion that this moment of discovery is the prelude to a threesome with two Snapes, which makes me suspect Lupin planned the whole thing with that intent. This is funny, hot and beautifully drawn, so I recommend it whether or not you are generally a fan of either of the pairings.

Second, the delicious Pansy/Ginny fic Still Hungry  (NC-17)
I requested both snark and smut and this fic delivers both in spades, as well as providing one of the best written Quidditch scenes I've ever read. There's great characterization, innuendo, dirty talk and not least very hot wall!sex in the shower after the match. Um, did I mention hot? In case you need further convincing, here's a snippet:

"You came," Ginny said, and looked away at the needy sound of her voice.

"I did." Ginny's gaze returned to Pansy. Pansy smirked, and then took a step forward, and another, small, tiny steps. Ginny suddenly had an inkling of what a mouse might feel like under the scrutiny of an airborne hawk. Pansy was stalking her.

They'd been playing this weird flirting, catty game over the last few months at bars and parties where they'd continued to cross paths, and Ginny had all but revealed her hand to get Pansy to make a move. It wasn't that Ginny was shy, oh hell no, it was just she wanted to be pursued this time, just this once.

I will probably write up more recs in the next week or so, particularly for femslash fics and art at Fem Exchange and Yule Balls. With all these fests going on it's hard to keep up with the reading, but I'm really not complaining about being so spoilt for choice :-D.
