love in the afternoon...

I know I'm not supposed to be here, but I had a spare half hour this morning, went looking for something to read, and you're not going to believe what I found!

Remember the fact fest? And I did Scorpius? Well, blamebrampton wrote fic based on my facts. Not just one. Tons of them! Maybe even, dare I hope, all of them? The author promises Part 2 is coming, and I'm going to be on the edge of my seat until it's posted.

I have so much love for this fic. It's written in my favorite style: sparse enough to make you think, but crafted so expertly you're constantly catching your breath. There's tight, witty dialog that alternately rings with humor (of the driest sort - my favorite) and deep emotion. The author carries us along at a brisk pace, but the snapshots we're given are full and satisfying.

I love this Harry and Draco. They've grown into the adults I've always pictured them to be. I don't want to give away what's happening, but if you read Scorpius's facts, you'd know there's more going on between these two than meets the eye. Much more. blamebrampton gives us a delicious taste of feelings long, long denied.

As for the kids, blamebrampton breathes life into the new generation. These characters are beautifully fleshed out -- especially Albus and Scorpius, but also Rose and James. And Narcissa? Pure magic!

As much as I'm enjoying all the subtext flying around between our boys (both sets), it's Scorpius' relationship with the castle that the author has brought to life in stunning detail. I think I could read a million words of fic with this premise. blamebrampton took a two sentence idea and created something truly amazing. I love it. We're given a taste of history we've never seen before. Fascinating!

This is 7,800 words of pure pleasure. I'm begging you all to head over and take a gander at this fic. Leave the author much, much love. You're not going to be disappointed. That, I promise. I'm officially a blamebrampton fangirl.

Sins of the Fathers

Poll Poll Take the Poll -- LOTS of Ticky Boxes Ahoy!

Moderated by the incomparable iulia_linnea, it's time for the Harry Potter Random Facts Fest!

I decided to do Scorpius. Let's face it, the poor kid needs some love. Half of fandom's already pegged him as a Slytherin bully who hates everything Potter. No, no, no!

artisticentropy has given me the best birthday gift in the world -- art for "A Mile in His Shoes". She captured the scene perfectly. Perfectly.

Thumbnail! OMG!


It was difficult to walk now that he knew where it led, but he persevered with steady steps. As he rounded the last corner to the clearing, he closed his eyes, steeling himself for the inevitable.

When he opened them again, it was to the sight of Harry making the final turn on the labyrinth’s path. As he stepped into the center, he spotted Draco.

Harry and Draco in the labyrinth

Thank you, artisticentropy! ♥ ♥ ♥ You made it a birthday to remember!

I have been. I need to go back to Hawaii so I can get some sleep.


*pimp_my_3some. Need I say more? Hey...if you enjoyed the fic, tell the author!

*Check this out. hp_thankyou What a sweet idea! And it's something I've been thinking about doing for a while. Even though I'm sure it's going to take more than one post to say everything I want to convey. So yeah, Sansa's fandom thank you's - coming soon.

* Draco/Harry/Draco - progressing nicely! Still, I think I'll be posting it after the book release. ( Small teaser snippet #2 ) And, if you missed it...snippet #1

* I have a funny to share, but I'm too exhausted to type it out. I need a Quick Quotes Quill.

Goodnight, all! ♥

EDIT: OK - if I can mistake Thomas the Tank Engine for my 'funny' icon, then it's way past bedtime.

Pimping my threesome!

So the winner of the poll, if you'll remember, was Draco/Harry/Draco, Time Travelers, Jealousy. Since this story is being written in honor of the pimp_my_3some fest, I'm doing my own little pimp!

*clears throat*

The key to today's victory lies in the future...
