innerslytherinHumour Fics
As a dedicated H/C addict and fluffy-angast writer, I've always thought being funny is hard. That's why I'm always so impressed when I find fics and authors who are skilled at writing good humour fics. I want to share three of my favourites with you. All three make me laugh out loud when I reread them, and all three leave me with a smile on my face and a good feeling in my heart at the end.

busaikko
PG13
Remus hires Hermione to redecorate and ends up being sent to buy things at Severus' shop. Talking cats and much misuse of "ergo". I'll be completely frank--most ofbusaikko's fics make me cry (even her happy endings) so finding one that made me laugh was a relief to this flangst-addict. The lovely thing about busaikko is that the fact that it's a humour fic doesn't mean it's lacking in characterisation or emotional depth. (This is true, actually, about all the authors in my recs today.)
Remus Lupin and the Monument of Magical Balance bythesnapelyone
PG13
After Voldemort's Defeat, the Order has one problem--Snape is holding himself hostage until he sees Remus Lupin. Snapely's fics deserve more attention than they get. Her talent for humour never ceases to impress me. Pratchett-esque humour including, but not limited to, Ministry-bashing, good-natured Tonks-bashing, and a somewhat light-hearted treatment of the Death Eater Cause.

PG13
After the war, Remus demands Harry and Draco's presence at his and Severus' first Christmas together. This fic made me howl with the out-and-out ridiculous behaviour Severus, Harry, and Draco, stoop to in their perpetual war on each other. The characterisations are fabulous, the writing superb, and the ending perfect.
