reenkaThere's this weird feeling I get skimming through these short little fics by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
___visions, especially Same, but also this poem-like thing. It's like, it's not -good- or polished or particularly concerned with canon, but... what I really like is that it gives me The Feeling. Like hearing a tune you know and love, even if it's sung off-key and a sounds a little hokey with that harmonica or whatever. It's like it's got its heart in the right place, or something.
I particularly like the beginning, which reads a lot like one of the myriad angsty intellislashy H/D fics I imprinted on back in '02. I used to write about Draco's "moon-white complexion", man. I know it's kinda lame, but I'm still nostalgic about it; tragic-yet-spiteful skinny-as-a-reed Draco with his sharp cheekbones and sharper words. Heh. Okay, so then the ficlet goes completely off-course, but I like the beginning, pleasantly pre-OoTP as it is.
The whole aesthetic's mostly different now, y'know. People (writers) seem to have completely accepted Draco as someone who needs compassion; he's not much of a badboy or controversial figure in the fandom anymore, even if he is to -Harry- (at least, moreso). And I know it's just plain wrong to say Harry hated him more than the Dursleys 'at first sight', but that's exactly the sort of thing I miss; the sort of Harry who's plagued by Draco, who's insecure and resentful rather than, y'know, 'a perfect boyfriend'. This is hilarious, in a way, since HBP was pretty much a ripe breeding ground for angst; Harry was plagued by Draco-- his ghost, almost, seeing as how he was mostly in absentia (though of course most people took it sexually). You know... like, I think I just... am an angst-hound in H/D, more than I usually am with other pairings. They just... do it so well :>
Ahahaha, I just got feedback on a really old fluff-fic from '02 ('My Favourite Things') saying my Draco was the 'perfect boyfriend' (!!!!!!!!) and yet IC somehow (!!!!!) so now I have angst :)) I was actually thinking of readinghelenish's Ron/Draco fics 'cause I absolutely adore her Sentinel stuff, but... nooooooo. I'm still chained. :>
...I kind of miss [my old] fandom. :/ I love bitter/angry lovesongs for H/D ♥
