Author on LJ: penknife
Author Website: Pen(knife) to Paper
Why this must be read: Penknife is probably best known in this fandom for writing Ephemeris (Remus/Sirius), but my particular torch is held for Breathe Out Anger. It's very powerful for its minimalist prose and simple, subtle storytelling. The summary goes: After James and Lily's deaths, Remus wants answers. It would help if he knew the right questions. It's not an uncommon subject, but so often it reads like nothing more than the writer attempting to wrestle it to the ground, in some hopes of understanding this aftermath from the perspective of arguably the most elusive character in canon. Penknife makes it look easy; all of it is inevitable and not drawn out beyond that, and in this it is heartbreaking.
