October 2020 Recs

This month, I’m reccing two Minerva-centric series, one older and one new, plus an older stand-alone fic that will give you a much-needed smile in these troubled times.
The Minerva Quartet

Characters: Alastor Moody, Alice Longbottom, Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, Lucius Malfoy, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape

Minerva falls in love with Albus Dumbledore. This is most inadvisable, given the Grindelwald conundrum. Never you mind, Minerva says, as she carries on. Alastor watches. Severus judges. A monster, beloved to a Castle, warns her of her folly. In the end, it is only Harry and her left as relics of another era, and she leaves Hogwarts for Inverness where caulking songs await her.
