(no subject)

It's quite silly really, this love I have for a slightly (or, ridiculously, even) mad Harry. I know it's more common to see Draco written as the comedic little vaguely unhinged / completely ridiculous one, but I think it's so much more fun (or interesting, if we're talking serious types of unhinged) if it's Harry.

Honestly, I laughed so hard at this fic, in which Harry is obsessed with Malfoy's hair, Hermione and Ron are long-suffering, and plotting and ficuses happen. There is no part of that summary that I could ever dislike.

(Very long haired Malfoy isn't really my thing, so at first I tried to picture it a bit shorter than she describes, but then I realised that the image my brain was throwing up in response to the description as a whole was more a sort of crazy Square-Enix situation with impossibly shaped silver hair and broad shoulders, so then I thought JUST GO WITH IT.)

And look, while I'm here and talking about kooky Harrys, here's two of my favourites:

- The Benefits of Breakfast, by

wonkyveela. Like the one above, it's G/PG, and silly. By way of summary, have the first few lines - ( they're all kinds of wonderful and express the key plot point (jam): )

and

From Another Perspective by

kabeyk. Which is, in the grand tradition of Kabeyk, far more explicit (NC17), and astoundingly well written. She's always funny, always insightful, always making the mundane seem like the most fascinating thing in the world, and has a gorgeous way of working language that always just fucking floors me. This is one of my favourites of her stories, and one of my all time favourite H/Ds. Seriously, I just re-read a bit, and lost all coherency for a few moments because al;jfasl;fj she just, fucking, brilliant, so bloody brilliantly written I can't even. READ IT.

Summary: A bit loopy after the war is over, Harry starts to wonder if maybe he's gay. And then Malfoy turns up.

(Also, her Malfoy in this fic? Possibly one of my favourites ever. THE IMAGERY. She's hit my white button up shirt; stubble; arrogant, petulant arsehole; pale skin with pale hair; and lounging around smoking kinks, some of which I don't even think I had before reading this fic. Dear god the imagery.)

I'm in such a good mood right now. And the cat has moved on from purring while trying to bite me to trying to eat my dressing gown. She's surprisingly strong, but I think I can take her. Muha!

of course

Hermione made a noise somewhere between disgust and anguish. “Harry, if no one else will represent Malfoy... you have to.”

Hee hee. I love my ship.

It's so predictable.

The fic is here, and so far not too bad.

ETA: Okay, so the fic turned out to be really nice. I even reviewed, which I rarely do. So I thought, since the link was already here, I may as well C&P the review and make a rec!

Title: Breakdown
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, Ron/Hermione, assorted minor characters.
Summary: Draco Malfoy’s reappearance years after the Last Battle wreaks havoc on Harry’s carefully organized life.
Word Count: 11,182

Rec: I was so loving all the little pieces the author had assembled and the delicate way they were handling things, that I actually exclaimed "no!" when the page wouldn't scroll any further and I realised I'd reached the end.

A really lovely fic. The little touches of humour and emotion are great, and Harry's perspective is wonderfully written. There's a real impression of him and of his world, and the writing manages to be sort of gently squee-inducing without being at all sappy. It's subtle, just giving us what there is as it is.

It's really nicely measured and was a delight to read. The anonymous thing is a bugger at times like these - I want more!

Don't know that this makes sense. Anyhoo. Remus is good.

( The intro. Discussion of Remus Lupin in fandom. )

---

( On Remus in R/S. + Remus recs (R/S & R/J) and, somehow, some H/D aswell. )

tjwritter, I hope that this somehow answers your questions, and, at the very least, there are some great fics linked in there if you're new to the fandom.

Now, I desparetly need to go to bed. It's Christmas Eve in the morning, and I have to get up early to work, and do many a wonderful but tiring Christmassy thing.
To all a good night, and a very Merry Christmas/ lovely holidays!

H/D Fandom - just, urrrg! Stop sucking!!!!

So I've been reading Harry/Draco 'fic alot lately. It is a great pairing, with some top stories, but...

Where is this notion that Seamus Finnigan is flamboyantly gay and very promiscuous coming from?

Granted, it's been a while since I read the books, and I didn't pay much attention to him anyway, but I'm sure I'd remember if he was written as eyeing Harry up lecherously. Where is it coming from?

( A character can make a few jokes without being outrageously and unrelentingly flirtatious. )

It is a ridiculous notion that stems from blatant stupidity and a severe lack of knowledge about human behaviour. A fandom does not require an obligatory slutty character, and a story concerning homosexual themes does not require an absurd homosexual stereotype. I don't even care for Seamus in particular one way or the other, but I still can't stand him, or anyone else, being so warped so pointlessly.
