Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

So, hey, you know what I'd really, really like to read? Stuff about Oliver Wood. Character studies, slash, het, whatever, just some good stuff about Oliver.

Other minor characters really interest me too. Like Seamus. The Weasley Twins. Jeez, almost anyone except the three main characters, Snape, Draco and his entourage, etc.

Anything good?

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

I reiterate: SK has some lovely, lovely minor-character pieces if you scroll down a bit.

And she has a fascinating thing going on with Oliver Wood/Marcus Flint. Check it out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

SA, for some reason I thought you said you wanted the Olsen twins in your HP fic.

Just waiting to happen, isn't it?

Okay, fine, I'm sure it has already.

See, I always say they're child porn, and now you've taken it to an entirely new level for me.

Thanks.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Yay! "Executor" is one of my favorite Due South stories (even though it is so, so sad).

"Executor" is one of my favorite Due South stories

Well, I was looking at old recs trying to remember what stories I'd accidentally forgotten, and I couldn't believe I hadn't put it on there yet.

Thrive to spite them

I don't cry much when I'm reading books, which is surprising considering how much I love words.

I never cry when reading fanfiction.

Except for when I get to the poem in Executor. See and now, I'm all teary just thinking about it. It's one of those things where I know it's coming and I don't want the pain, but it's a kind of good pain even though it hurts, so I just sort of skip through to get right to getting my heart ripped out.

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

I never cry when reading fanfiction.

Man, I cry far too easily. It's a bad thing, I think, in many ways. Anyway, I totally have been reduced to tears by pieces of fanfiction - particularly in SV, with the whole epic tragedy stuff. Grail's t frantically tries to remember the damn title story about The Big Breakup tore out my still-beating heart and stamped on it.
