fullygoldy: Stag Patronus in blue sillouhette (Blue Plate Patronus)

I woke up with this little bit in my head:

Draco:  I'm glad you like.
Hermoine:  Mmmm, I do. I like you so much right now.
D:  You can tell me, you like me way more like this.
H:  Well, I do, but I also liked the old you.
D:  'Mione? 
H:  He got my attention, didn't he?
More snogging and snuggling ensues.


Also: Archive of Our Own Draco/Hermione fic and Draco/Ginny

And:  Polyamorous Recs compiled by shrift and nestra, two of the most awesome BNFs in fandom.  They always have good recs, and if you're not careful, you'll end up with more fandoms than you know what to do with.

Just got back from HP Pt 2.  Wow. There was some cool shit in there.  Also, I probably should have done a quick re-read before going to see it.  All through the movie, I was going, "wait, doesn't xyz happen?"  And then I'd think, uh no. That was in a fic.  Hmmm.  Must re-read that one...  It was a little distracting.

Also, the epilogue wasn't satisfying on the first read, and isn't really much better in the film version.  Plus, and this is what fanfic is for, right? There's a giant gaping hole between the last scene and the epilogue.  I had forgotten how much I like the HP fic when it's set after the war.

The women had some great moments too.  Really liked McGonagle's bits.  Luna was quietly perfect.  Mrs. Weasley rocked. 

Neville was totally believable in the Boromir role - never going to be king, but instrumental in getting Harry into his rightful position.

I was glad we didn't get a "previously on..." segment at the beginning, but OTOH, you really have to see part 1 first.

Definitely worth the big screen experience.  The effects just pop off the screen.  I wouldn't want to be introduced to the HP film series on the small screen.

Day 22. A fic you won't read late at night

Well, I don't generally go for anything horror-like so I'll have to say that I won't start anything long late at night because I am really bad about stopping reading once I've started. I tend to read everything straight through unless it just isn't grabbing me.

So, a really good long read is: [personal profile] resonant's Transfigurations which is an awesome Harry Potter (post-war but written before the canon was complete). It's a "where are they all now?" kind of story, and the long build up to the Harry/Draco doesn't seem too long because the non-slash part of the plot is fascinating and completely suited to the universe. If Res had written this as gen, someone else would surely have remixed it to slash.

And just for more amusement, [personal profile] china_shopis several days ahead of me in the meme, and you should see what she said on Day 22!
