seperis | exploring the outer reaches of something or other

See, I knew there was a really good reason I never read the sequels to The Tale of the Shining Prince. I knew it would hurt and require multiple readings. You know, just to dig it in a little deeper. So. Yeah. I so needed that.

I have an--itch.

Like, okay. You want something to read. You don't know what it is. You are at the point where you are thinking dirty Clark thoughts that don't involve sex and prettiness and you think, maybe you should take a step back from that there story--or that one--or that one--or oh God, you realize, you have four FOUR WiPs all in the same fandom and you panic.

Um, let's get beyond that bit, though. There's this itch. Last time that happened, you broke your heart with Julad's Nightblooming Heartsease, and yeah, that was good for the realization you *don't* have a pairing of choice in HP, you have what amounts to being an orgy of choice, in which you will *cry your eyes out* over it and promise yourself that next time you feel the need to read HP, you will choose the happy stories.

So how did this translate to Illuferret? I know better. I was warned. Like, multiple times. And yet, there I went and there I read and read and then read some more and now I just want to curl up in a tiny, tiny ball of whimpering messiness.

Well. Yeah.

But anyway. I'm all--itchy. I'm not even sure what I'm looking for in a story, I just can't quite find it. Maybe I am jaded. Maybe I really am after Harry the Dark Lord crushing the world beneath his heel or something and don't even know it. Mmm. Destruction. Maybe I want curtain fic. Or cookies. Hell, I have cookies, so you'd think I'd be satisfied.

Well. Off to burn through another archive now that Illuferret has *scarred me for life*.

You know, if any of you have some favorite HP recs just, you know, sitting around at the tip of your fingers that you want to rec to me, just feel *free*. Or a good rec page. Cause seriously, I run across another deathfic, something might break, and it might be my sanity.

Whimpering. *Mess*. So not pretty.

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.

Hm- yes, I'll go for the shameless plug! I've got a list of HP recs here (http://media-cow.net/fic/C2/)- I tend to like Snape-centric, long and plotty stories. Probably more Harry/Snape than anything- but there's a real mix of gen/het/slash.

Also check the review section (http://media-cow.net/frenzy/date/all/66/all/)- the good stuff there eventually makes it over to the Rec page, once it's been 'despoiled'! But right at the top I note whether I'd rec a story, so it's useful without reading the whole spoilery bit. Of course, a lot of the fics I don't rec are good- I just have pretty specific tastes when it comes to recs.
