I know there are many on my flist who won't go near the Harry Potter fandom. Either because of the insanity of the fandom itself or squickiness of the underage character pairings. But you're missing out on some truly wondrous fic. I can't blame anyone since I'm not a fan of the source material myself, but, as usual, certain writers can take these characters and make, well, magic

[livejournal.com profile] eudaimon is one of those writers and her fic, You and Me and the Rain, is pure magic. Hermione/Tonks, Most Definitely R. Also, this is an older Hermione and Tonks (20s) so no need to worry about the squick. [livejournal.com profile] eudaimon is a master with language. She clearly loves the written word and it definitely loves her right back. All of her words, every sentence feels absolutely necessary. No waste. Nothing extra to get in the way of what comes down to incredible storytelling. And her characters are so well drawn and full, we have to invent extra dimensions because three and even four just aren't enough to contain them. There's definitely something musical about [livejournal.com profile] eudaimon 's work, it has a gorgeous rhythm and sound to it and all of it written and played in a minor key full of sadness, hope, and longing. This is the magic, people. One of those fics and one of those writers who not only blurs the line between pro fic and fan fic but obliterates it completely. Seriously. This is some of the best fiction I've read in a while. Period. Read and leave the love for another great writer.
