Everyone loves a good oneshot. They're quick reads that give you a nice snapshot into the character's world. A story told all at once and with no long waits or cliffhangers. Here are some of the better oneshots (and twoshots and the like) I've found, all with interesting storylines and mostly good grammar, spelling, and structure. They vary from het and slash and no pairings, but no incest, prominent non-con, and only a smattering of crossgen. |
The Importance of Biscuits by Penitent Rebel reviews
"Sirius scratched his head as he looked around the kitchen. Every surface was covered in cocoa powder." A bit of fluff from a world where James lived and Sirius never went to prison.
