5:46pm: hm. I've been thinking very strongly about posting Holiday Recs, and I would post holiday fic recs, but I've only just noticed that I then wouldn't be able to post the author's name along with the fic, only who the fic was written for and the title. I wouldn't mind so much but for future reference (aka looking desperately for an unlocked version or a version on a site that doesn't give me a headache), it can be very useful to know who wrote the fic (recently I've been not only going though rec lists and opening all interesting fics in new tabs ignoring the ones that are blocked for various reasons, but because of the mass LJ lockings of this past year, I've been researching the fics that won't open properly or in a preferable format on google so as to find alternative posts). I also very much doubt that I would actually be able to have the discipline or time to properly follow up and edit the entries after the reveals were posted

So I believe I will refrain. At least for a short while, until I cave in because my bookmarks folder is already bulging and huge.

9:53pm: What's This About Me and a Broomstick
by marginaliana (lj)
for hpvalensmut

a nice soppy puddle of goo. Harry ron is really getting to me today, I tend enjoy more than 90% of the HR fics I read (not true for all fics, HD and HPSS--two other ships that I read noticably--don't have the same reliability), and they tend to be heart warming (HD is sweet, smirk-ey, witty and intense (I obviously don't have the right word yet) and HPSS is intense (usually, usually!), other ships vary) but this is truly lovely.

Warnings: masturbation, broomstick porn (in a good way), too much plot--I like plot!
Summary: After the war, Ron and Harry find their place in the world together. No one will hire Harry, Ron is a quidditch player, Harry becomes a broom wright. Includes lines such as "Damn, he realized, suds running down his stunned face. I've gone and fallen in love with him." and "Potter, you utter pansy, he thought, amused. Quit thinking about your feelings and say "yes" already." (both Harry).
And so I like this fic LOTS. (Hermione is irritating a bit but she's only there for about 2 lines so it's not that big a deal)

P.S. I can format!

7:13pm: CREDULOUS HEARTS
by k
HarryRon

shivering whimpering quivering mess=me (aka I love it). Ron wasn't completely wrecked anymore. Harry is an Auror, Ron is in the Department of Magical Games and Sports. After Luna (Ron's wife) dies, he and Harry move in together. in middle begining on the cusp of the middle, Harry is hurt and there is a lovely though non-specific scene of them getting home without magic. Ron fucks another guy, and Harry starts going to quidditch matches, after some minimal fuss an discussion, they get together and it is incredibly lovely. Especially excellent are the bits about Luna, and the ending (so very sad and sweet).

(NOTE: I feel like I may have read a fic like this one before, though it was slightly different--may be weird memory thing)

8:51pm: Ce Sera Bien
by Vain

wow (s)he can write! and she can write beautiful original inventive and absolutely awesome angsty fics!

Severus loves Harry. Harry loves Severus. But neither has quite enough courage to say it properly. And neither quite gets it when the other one says it. Beautifully broken Harry and Severus.

8:37pm: Morior Animus
by Vain

'"That was his gift, you know? Happy endings... " He wanted to believe that. He really did. But he knew better.' Devastatingly sad with excellent lines, perfect phrases, fairy tales, and only ninety days left.
HarrySeverus

warning: major character death, a crying fic

7:55pm: Turnstile series
By k_inked

A lovely fic, with a broken and sad Harry who is extremely powerful. Cross dressing (green lace knickers!)

1st part: A bet is lost. Ginny wears a suit, Harry wears a smashing lavender ensemble.
The obtaining of the green lace knickers, the card game is bridge, and the trio is entering their 7th year.

2nd part: More serious than its prequel, with less cross-dressing.
Harry wears other people's clothing to the final battle (one of the coolest ideas anywhere, ever) he tried to become Severus and everyone else at Grimmauld Place during the war, has awesome recall of his working journals (became a leftie to be Sev!) and it's another one of my absolute favourite moments ever, plus Harry's proposal is wonderful. Just so very perfect (in a sad broken way).
this might be the fic Harry who I love best.

3rd part: Okay so it's set directly after the 2nd part, and this will be more general as I have to sleep: Harry is mad (nutters, insane, etc.), Sev agrees to bond. Sev and Harry bond, Harry uses up more magic than he should repairing Grimmauld Place (and so he now has the right amount, or at least is not so overwhelmed-ish) and Severus regulates his magic flow. Some Weasley offspring (the oldest one) and another person's kid try to honor H and S by using the same bond (they're severely reprimanded) and it's a lovely gorgeous fic

the end.
now go read

Allegiance and Sedition
by SilentAuror

okay. wow. This has slid itself into the spot of my favourite post-HPB fic which it will share with Vorabiza's Secrets. Especially because it was gorgeous, lonely, actually dealt with things and sad. so a 3-year-old's heart is Draco's first mission and his proof of loyalty to V, he's disgusted by it and decides to go spy for the Order. There are barracks, awful food, hugely contorted things, research (yay!), sex, Hermione is not only book smart but also wise and comforting, and Ron is actually an intelligent human being who has skills (which are more than vaguely mentioned). Harry is always left behind, and he gets hurt (only a little but still), he has quandraries, and eh thinks, and he's properly immature and judgmental at times while very sensible at others. Snape seems mellow-er and Lucius gets under my skin (aka, all is how it should be). Unfortunately Voldemort is not called Tom, but he is oddly successful until the last minute, and he is nicely insane and makes lots of decrees.

5:17pm: watercolor HD
by selija

draco is sitting on a picnic table and harry is walking away from him. I like the wary expression harry has and the irked and angry one on draco. I'm enjoying how their shirts are the same color, and the tension between them is apparent, beautiful composition and coloring.

5:13pm: Workin' Hard
by Jadntonic

crookshanks sleeping on top of draco on top of harry. it's again peaceful and sweet and yet at the same time incredibly detailed and (in color!) both harry and draco are sleeping in rather awkward looking positions, which makes it evem better!

5:09pm: Testing the Waters
by Jadntonic
for chapter 6 of her fic Bad Faith

a passionate kiss between harry and Draco which involved draco sitting on a table, a lovely sketch of them, it's rather tame but it captures a single moment absolutely perfectly.

5:05pm: Stakeout
by jadntonic
for Maya's Drop Dead Georgous

it's a very calm peice of art, Draco sleeps and Harry watches him. harry is drawn beautifully, nearly exactly how I picture him (plus the amazing expression he has), and Draco's lovely too.

6:23pm: Closet Fears by Kimagure
HarryRon
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/840245/1/

Remus has bars. Harry has a cupboard, and Swish. Well sort of, Swish isn't just a sweet kitty. "In the aftermath of life, Harry's reluctant to reach out to anyone."

I really like this fic. It's sad and mixed up in just the right way, and Harry tells Swish everything that should be said but that he's not quite sure he can say. melancholy

7:04pm: i remember. i live less than a mile away. i remember empty streets and being confused and half aware. i remember how it smelled, even at school, five more miles uptown. i remember wearing a mask. i still carry two masks in every bag i own. i don't remember the car ride downtown. i remember the police blockades at houston street. i remember watching people walk up empty streets. i remember that our tv didn't work because our reception came from a tower that had fallen down. i remember hearing my mom tell people how my dad had predicted that it would fall from the instant the plane hit the tower. i remember trying to remember where they were. i only figured it out from the lights they put up the year after. my mom had been in the shower. they and the workers next door had heard the plane flying the wrong way, flying too close, and they had all wondered why. but only for a few short (maybe they were long) seconds. i remember watching the video my dad had taken where one just fell down. i will always know what a falling tower looks like when it has been struck by a plane, i remember wondering what the white things in the air were (nearly a month later someone said that they were papers). i remember wondering if my friends mother was really dead when i went to her funeral less than half a month afterwards. i have pictures of the prettiest blue sky and the billowing clouds. it was nearly the exact opposite weather today. her mother was on the ninety second or ninety fourth floor of the tower which got hit higher. she was in the middle of a phone call.

i wonder what it felt like.

i do not feel like bothering with the shift key today. i do not feel like reading from a textbook today. i want today to be over. i want today to last forever. i do not want to always remember this. i must remember it because it was so very bad and i must remember the awful things to know what the good things are. i sometimes forget for a second. i forget that there are no obelisks on the south end of my island. i forget that people are dead. i feel so very wrenched when i remember that i forgot.

4:27pm: So now I have the place to archive all of the fan fiction I want to remember. this is going to take a long, long time.

Hello.

I haven't written or drawn much of anything (as far as I'm concerned other people are snoops and I don't have the courage to tell everyone of my "odd" tastes), but I have read thousands of fics. I am a fan of Harry Potter and particularly of the title character (though I'll read just about anything that's well written).

I'm just now venturing out of the shadows of lurkers and hope that eventually someone will read this. Maybe.
