Minerva Fest, http://minerva-fest.livejournal.com/, the wonderful Annual Celebration of the Headmistress' Birthday, had awesome fic and art once again, this year--the year of Minerva's 'Ninetieth Birthday'!
I'm still reading, but these two fics caught my attention, though the others I read so far were definitely worth reading, too!

Beautiful coming-of-age story about Minerva and Irma as students. Great characterization and insight in young adults, trying to come to terms with their careers, their surroundings and themselves.

A beautifully 'painted' and atmospheric story about student-Minerva, caught in a storm in her cat-form. The old ground-keeper Ogg has a major role here and turns out to be a lovely Yorkshire character. Very well written unusual fic with an extremely rare HP-character at its heart.
