Love Is What Remains

This is what happens when I see too many mangas with extra-explicit kissing scenes where one person is always holding up the other as they swoon, clutching at them like a drowning person. Um. -.-;;; They say write what you know, but I write what I read. *facepalm*

( `The Kissing Clause' - in which we discover that Harry is really a teenage girl. Or not. But Malfoy has a wicked tongue. )

I actually tried to exert some effort here, to write something worthwhile... anything... even a little bit... but no. I suck. This ficlet... also pretty much sucks. Read at your peril!! :P

...Though, uh, Ste tells me we all do dorky things out of fandom love. I think she is too kind ^^;; This is more like 'fandom senility', methinks :> Or possibly it's just crack. :-?

( The Lamest Ficlet Of All Time~! Aka, '...And Then They Had Mad Sex (a play in two scenes)' - H/D )

It's insane and silly and meta and... uh, did I mention silly? But I'm surprised it's like, there at all, so. ><;;;;

( FIClet~! Um. `Lust & Other Terminal Cases' - crazy H/D for Ste. Also known as 'Bottom!Draco squared & multiplied, case #2873984.' )

So, um... I don't know what came over me, but I wrote a tiny post-HBP (sort of) Luna/Ginny ficlet.... Um. Here. I wrote this for Amalin, who probably doesn't want it, actually :D


( `True Stories' - Luna/Ginny - 'It's simple, really,' Luna said idly, staring off into the night. 'Let's never grow up.' )

Um. So this is my messed-up idea of fixing things for Draco after my last drabble, which means it's a sequel, I guess. I just realized that he's Draco Malfoy, and he wouldn't stand for that sort of abuse, right? Right.

So I listened to Ani DiFranco some more. Bad idea -.-

( `Break the Skin' - H/D - You think Draco Malfoy is sucking you off to prove a point, and you're letting him.  )

All right, I know it's embarrassing, but apparently the silly astrology thing wasn't done with me yet. If only because I'm often given to laughing at the very things I find myself dubiously interested in. It's a thing.

So I wrote a Harry/Draco version: the Leo/Gemini files remix. Or something. It had to be done.

( Ficlet! ~ `Bait and Switch' - H/D - where Harry's philosophy remains simple yet effective, and Draco is too feisty for his own good. )

Some people might say I'm being hypocritical by posting this bit of semi-fluff-- I just like to think of it as being... er... refreshingly multi-faceted. Anyway, ahahah, there was this post about how/why would canon!Draco say 'I love you', and whether he might say it more easily just to get stuff from people 'cause he's a brat. Heh.

So of course I couldn't resist. Especially 'cause presently I'm working on a long-ass dark!Draco fic, and I think I needed a break. I'm one of those people who have severe issues writing Draco saying that-- ever-- to anyone-- so it was a challenge, imagining how Draco would actually say that casually and remain in character. This bit of silliness resulted.

Those who do actually have a serious thing about er... non-angsty things should probably... er... stay away. Anyway, this isn't fluff, per se. Maybe. That is my story and I'm sticking to it!!1 Damn all you temptresses, whittling away at my resolve.

( Ficlet! - `Gifts' - H/D, D/P - R-rated? - Draco is a very bad boy. Oh, he really is. But he luuuurves Pan-- Har-- stuff. )

So, in honor (*snerk*) of my unfluffy mood, I thought I'd post a drabble I wrote a week ago and was too disturbed/embarrassed by to post publically at the time, about undead!Harry risen from the grave to um... 'get' Draco. Muwahahahaha!!

( `Lover's Walk' - H/D - horror!drabble )

I dunno what it is. But. I wrote a weird Ginny/Luna after-sex drabble which is... well, weird. So I didn't wanna just post it publically... heh. But I have no shame. Not that it's -that- bad, it's just. I don't know. Ginny/Luna? What am I on, anyway?

...Don't answer that.

( `Green Apples' - Ginny/Luna - R? - tastes may vary. )

It's easier to write-- and sometimes even read-- pairings I don't care about. I feel like I'm -too- invested in H/D, -too- invested in a specific Draco (I'm rather laid back with Harry, and also most people don't really mess with his characterization too widely). Sometimes it feels impossible to read one more H/D fic without losing it in either joy or disgust. I really do think in writing, at least, I really benefit from the concept of "critical distance"-- that is, writing about things I'm not -too- close to somehow. Maybe I'm just too hard on my H/D fics, I dunno. *sigh*. But I wrote this because I was feeling Neville's rage. Go figure.

It occurs to me that Harry/Neville is a bit like the Draco/Zacharias of ships, ahahahaha. For some reason, this really amuses me. Also, when did I get over my need to have every fic be sekritly H/D? Ahahaha.

( Ficlet! `Home of the Brave' - Harry/Neville - wherein Neville is finally angry enough to follow. )
