When Alastor asks Minerva to a night at the opera, her friends are possibly more excited than she is.
This was my gift for the 2022 HoggyWartyXmas fest, and I loved every word of it.
How could I not? With a sweet (but not OOC-sweet) Alastor/Minerva, an opera, and lots of humor.
I love the deep POV, with each character unsure and observing the other, trying to suss out what's going on in their heads.
The characterizations remind me of why I love fic in general, and fic about these two in particular: A cagey, canny Alastor, whose gruff exterior protects a man who is sensitive and kind at heart. And practical, cerebral Minerva, who also has a softer side that she hides from everyone but her closest friends.
The warmth and humor of Minerva’s friendships with her colleagues is one of this fic’s great pleasures.
