fic challenge stolen from a reference by jennyo: write a story based on a tori amos song title.
*grins*
these titles really could start a thousand and one stories.
can't you just see it? `caught a lite sneeze' & `in the springtime of his voodoo' & `tear in your hand' & `precious things' (of course) & `blood roses'(!) & `cruel' (again, !) & `liquid diamonds' & `1,000 oceans' & `take to the sky' & `never seen blue' & `raspberry swirl' & `spark' & `icicle' & `winter' & `crucify'(!!) & `pretty good year', and, and, and..... they're all so harry/draco..! *dies*

    ``putting the damage on" is stuck in my head, as soon as i thought of "what lyric would i...".
so now I’m wishing
for my best impression
of my best Angie Dickinson
but now I’ve got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
to me
but I’ve got a place to go
I’ve got a ticket to your late show
and now I’m worrying cause even still
you sure are pretty
when you’re putting the damage on
...

in other news, ain't it a cute icon?? ::points:: hee. zamber rocks.

`the untold want' ch. 10 is the best thing since-- well-- chapter 9. it is officially now, the only fic that, as dark and angsty and wrong as it gets, only makes me go, ``hurt me baby, hurt me more". heh. i think it's bringing out my emotionally sadomasochistic tendencies ^^;;
    draco is so vulnerable. so snappable. so. so. so cruel. *bares teeth*
and of course, harry's not going to ignore that-- or make excuses for it-- and that's more honest than 95% of fics get. draco isn't likely to "just change". harry isn't likely to "just ignore" or forgive (unless of course, he wants to be hurt, wants pain and death and darkness, like in `artful facade' and antenora's stories and so on). love would make draco weak, and he's going to resent that-- he's going to want either complete assurance that harry's his (because he's harry's), or he's going to um... snap. i can definitely see it.
    i loved how draco showed his soft underbelly in this chapter in a challenging, demanding sort of way. like, here, i bare my throat to you, if you don't accept it, i'll slit yours. *dies* you are all too brilliant for me. *sigh*

and yes, subject quote from penelope_z's fic, of course.
...``the cloud cover above had evaporated and the sunbeams were sharp like razorblades." just like her writing~:)

~~
am gripped by urge to quote bit from ishuca's latest chapter of `plague of legends', in my carnival fic since it'd go so well. realize this is silly, as it's a made-up quote. but still. heh. intertextual-fanfic references. we're getting so postmodern ^^

"The granting of wishes and longings can be a dangerous thing. It is especially so if one's desires are shallow, fragmentary, or ephemeral. However, there is no wish more perilous than the one that is uncertain."

and, btw. malfoy has dimples. wicked dimples. just ask ishuca :D
*dies*

and. holy f!ck. harry/snape never looked so good-- since the last pic she drew, that is. o_0

That's such a perfect description of Draco-characterisation! :)

ummm... chapter 12 of PoL (Precious Things) is named after a tori song. does that count?

heh. intertextual fanfic references indeed...

:nods gravely:

and his dimples are very wicked. *very*.
