With Valentine's Day on the horizon, what better gift to give your loved one than the third episode of SpellCast Readings! Bringing the love to you this week is Steve Anderson, with Asinus ad Lyram by Ylime.
The fic is rated PG and is found within the Astronomy Tower. The summary goes: "Moony, Wormtail, and Padfoot feel that Prongs will never win a certain red haired girl with the tame Valentine he is
writing. So, full to the brim and beyond with good intentions, they
design a little Valentine of their own ..." We'll be reviewing the fic in Episode Seventeen, and you can participate by leaving either an email or voicemail review. You can send text reviews to spellcast@fictionalley.org or leave a voicemail at our Skype username, fictionalley. We hope you enjoy the fic and look forward to your reviews! Comments[267]
