~~ Ficlet! `As Is'. um. yeah...?

There's all these things that bother me. I mean, sometimes I think I just go through life finding random stupid things to overreact to, honestly. Like-- okay, other people are not me. At all. Sometimes this is a source of way too much frustration. Like... I'm not more likely to rec anything because a friend of mine wrote it. In fact, I'm likely to -not- rec it because a friend of mine wrote it. But... so what, right? Things (and people) get judged based on affiliation all the time, and I would be lying to myself if I thought I was outside that. I hate it that I want to not read things if they get over-praised ('cause I know I may be missing out), and I equally hate it that I feel like reading something if it gets over-bashed (because there's no need to read badfic out of "principle"). I'm just contrary and unreasonable. (That said, DT bashers are equally so, for instance.)

This same contrariness is what leads me to feel like arguing with people who go on and on about the Great Evil that is fanon!Draco. I wanted to write fanon!Draco madly, seeing all the dissing of him. I don't think I -can- very easily, but. Yeah. I understand about backlash 'cause well, I'm like a backlash Force Of One, man. That said, I don't actually judge fic (or people) based on anything but my own biases, in the end. Own your biases, I say!

This whole fic is basically me being contrary and unreasonable, hahah. See, H/D is my favorite pairing for a reason-- it's because it's got to be the most insane-yet-vaguely-possible pairing there is. It's all contrariness and snark and conflict and juvenile grudges and impossible dreams and hormones. That just tells you way more about me than I should be comfortable with, ahaha.

I wrote it on utter whim after reading Telanu's post about how she's sick of H/S after being so monogamous to it for 2 years. I totally dig that, man. So often I get so sick of H/D it's not even funny. They stick in my craw like mad-- it's been one and a half years, and, I mean. Soon I'll forget other things -exist-. Ahh, sweet obsession, how I lurve thee. And hate thee. And then there's the porn. That's basically it. It's all about the porn. Feel the love, man.

( So! Ficlet! `As Is' - H/D - R - Feel the love, baby, for the first time, for the last time. The OTP is dead. Long live the OTP!... Yes, how meta. -.- )
