Title: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Author: @teh tarik

Warnings [if applicable]: Violence

Reason for Nomination: Sometimes there are stories that just blow your mind and leave you speechless. This is one of them. The way this story is constructed is absolutely brilliant. The descriptions are full of so much emotion, and a lot of this is introspective, but even in the flashback’s there is so much clarity of what is transpiring between Sirius and Lily. There’s a haunting beauty to this piece. And the way that Sirius’ mind works, the way his motivations take shape…it’s seamlessly done. The relationship between the dementor that is also Sirius' keeper in Azkaban and how it is given human-like qualities or made to understand humans was brilliantly done in the most gradual way. This story is a true chef’s kiss and I couldn’t possibly do it justice in my “reason for nomming,” so just know that it totally deserves it.

story: a bot wrote these by @dark admiral down-in-flames

reason: taylor apparently inadvertently writes in 17 syllables a bunch and the haikubot on fft keeps documenting it, and it's truly incredible

Title: The Prophecy

Warnings (if applicable): Violence

Reason for Nomination: You will be blown away by the breadth of Drew's imagination in his creation of an American school of magic, not a clone of Hogwarts or Ilvermorney, but stunningly fresh and new, featuring North American staff and students, settings, and cultures.  Sid Hooper, the tenacious kid from a hardscrabble rural background, will capture your heart, as will his classmates in the Pathfinder Team.  The plot is complex, unpredictable, always surprising (how does Drew think of these things?).  You will keep clicking "Next Chapter" until the very end.
