Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Thrive to spite them

I need to read LoP again. I haven't read much HP fiction, but I know have a great fondness for Draco/Neville.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And it's banned by my work system. Lovely.

Whoo! We're obscene!

A selection of Draco recs pulled from PolyRecs:

The Eleventh Doorkeeper, by lady of shalott.

Nestra: An eerie, nebulous second-person story. Apparently Draco took a chance that he shouldn't have. (Note: There are prequels to this which I haven't read yet. There's a sequel which is excellent, but entirely too dark for my taste. I think the story stands alone just fine.)

A Scrap of Humanity, by yr awen.

Nestra: Several years after the war with Voldemort, Draco's called back to Hogwart's. Lovely Draco POV, lovely Snape moments.

Lyrical Summations, by L.C.

Nestra: Snape and Draco. "There's been no advantage-taking here, except perhaps that of the world over Draco, and there certainly doesn't seem to be a law against *that.*"

And Resonant's newest, which is Draco/Snape:

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I think "people are stupid" is a little... strong. I find myself wanting to pull in the discussion over in Literary on whether or not it's okay for white authors to write in a non-white voice, etc., though.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Then again, it wasn't a very strange-feeling position for me, because I'm very used to reading things and all of their references to other texts I don't know about, because I am, or at least was, what has been fondly called a pop culture nun.

But now you've been unnunned. (And it's the only Lizard defrocking I shall be assisting in for the foreseeable future, so I shall make the most of it.)

I'm writing Dracofic, but it's at 17,000 words and still not nearly finished. Sigh. Don't hold your breath.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

t suddenly remembers Oh! I had a Fay dream last night. I don't exactly remember what happened, but it was a lot of fun. I think I was helping you work on your website, which in the dream was actualized as a giant underground labyrinth.

It was cool.

ION, I've gotten my Slash the Slashers pairing, and I don't know these people at all....

Thanks for all the fish.

Oooh, Fay, I've been sucked into Draco fic by the bouncing rat! Which I adore. I haven't yet sat down to LoP, because I greatly fear I will be swallowed whole.

And to second connie, who, if anyone, is he paired with?

Elena, once you start Lust over Pendle, give over any plans you had to do anything but finish it.

connie, that is exactly what I fear will happen.

RL, you better stop the teasing, or I'll taunt you extra hard about early Buffy.
