I've passed a milestone.
...Instead of torturing myself by actually finishing an H/D ficlet that was making me want to tear out my hair, grinding my teeth and cursing existence, I, uh... clicked the little X.
Ahhh, freeeedommm..... ^^;;;;
No, seriously, I generally at least skim to the end. But now I was being strong and like, NO! YOU WILL NOT DO THIS TO ME, H/D!! HA! ...And now for something to wash my brain...
( ...this is what happens when I forget doctor's orders & try to read fic.... )
~~
EDIT - I like
pir8fancier's latest fic at least to start with-- what with the snark & the cute. If Harry pines after Draco here too (and I'm okay with it), I'll laugh myself silly :>
Note: am apparently disturbingly easy to pacify with usage of cute insults and Ron ragging on Draco ♥♥♥ Perhaps the problem is really reading authors I don't trust in the first place. But then most of those no longer write HP, forget H/D. Alas.
With his last bite, a very evil thought occurred to Harry. Part of him acknowledged it was a thoroughly vile idea, perhaps even uncharacteristically brutal. But the part of him that wanted to haul back and break his knuckles against Malfoy's face gave him an enthusiastic pat on the back and cheered, "Do it, mate."
...*cries* I love H/D again, wah!!1 MY BABY!!!11!1
Ahhh, Harry&Draco are sniping like the immature brats they are once again and all is right with the world ♥♥♥ I think-- I think if I fed myself a diet of at least 10-15 more of fics like this, I'd be actually inspired again, ahahaha :> As is, I'm just relieved I'm not the only one that likes them more the more they hate each other (...in a cute sort of way or... not.) ♥ And by the time the pangs of conscience roll around, I'm already hooked, all line & sinker & everything. Awww. Well, see, still Dracosexual but at least he's in denial... er... *coughs shiftily*
EDIT #2 - And yes, `Boxing Day' is Really Quite Good in terms of structure/plot/language, but.... It doesn't have that -shine- for me, that ability to make me fall in love, I guess--? There's a vague feeling that I both know & don't know who these people are & why they're attracted to one another, I guess. They interact in interesting ways without really -sparking-. Well, I don't think it's quite a romance, exactly, anyway. I guess I wouldn't call it a shippy fic like the other one, perhaps.
