Fic Time! A Brief History of a Beautiful Friendship (Scorpius/Rose)

[gingeraled]

You came to know her as Rose the first day of first year Charms, when you heard her introduce herself to a nearby housemate. A while later, when she beat you to performing the perfect levitation spell on a piece of feather, you learned she was a Weasley, and you cursed yourself for missing all that red hair and freckles.

That’s when you

Aww... That was amazingly, wonderfully, completely, happily fluffy. Ah, you've just made my day. :D

[gingeraled]

Wow! Thanks! I'm glad to have made your day. :)

[sarahyyy]

Make my day again, won't you? Write more? :D

I love your Nev-icons. Lols.

[gingeraled]

I'll definitely write more in the future. I just don't know how soon that'll be. :D

The Nev-icons are from the LJ comm magicfly_icons. Go there for lots more!

Hi!

What a short, sweet romance. I've not read this particular pairing before, I don't think, and even though it was a little brief in places where I would have liked to have known more about Scorpius's feelings, I did really enjoy it.

Can I make a tiny suggestion? You used the word 'first' three times in your first sentence, and it almost made me not read the story. I think it would flow better if you reworded slightly.

Best wishes.

[gingeraled]

Oh wow, thanks for the suggestion! That first paragraph has actually been breaking my heart, so yes I do plan to rewrite with your suggestion in mind.

That aside, I'm glad you took the time to read the story. I adore your H/D fics like mad, though I am mostly a lurker. It means much that you even marginally enjoyed one of my own. :D

I did more than marginally enjoy it! The fact that I was keen to know more about Scorpius should tell you the picture you painted of him was believable and interesting.

Sometimes it's hard to see the wood for the trees with your own stuff. I reread my chapters many times before they go out, but often I return to them and find stupid repetitions and mistakes that have managed to get overlooked. And writing that all-important first sentence is the hardest job of all.

:)

[gingeraled]

Yes it is so very hard to write a good opening. Although there are some writers out there who seem to just pull out riveting first lines from their pockets.

If you are interested in reading more about Scorpius, you should try queenb23more's Now or Never. It's another Scorpius/Rose fic which I think is the definitive Next Gen fic because of the way it presents all the rest of the characters, whether Malfoy or Weasley, offspring or not, within a post-war context.

There's also Sansa's Man's Dwelling Place, which features Albus Severus/Scorpius years after they leave Hogwarts, which is not very usual of AS/S stories. The fic has an interesting premise written in the author's typical, poignant style.

ah, so fluffy...and so sweet... :)

Never thought that Scorpius will ended at Ravenclaw though :D

[gingeraled]

I'm glad you found it sweet. And Scorpius in Ravenclaw is just my personal canon.

[kobegrace]

Oh, wow. This has just made my morning. Now I'm gonna be a love-sick crazed person all day. But, oh, well. :)

[gingeraled]

Uh... should I take that as a compliment? Heh. I will though. :) I hope you enjoy your love-sick day!

Sigh...

That was just lovely! I think the second person voice worked very well here, and I loved that you made my heart go pitter-pat!

This story was a sweet delight.

[gingeraled]

The second person voice was about the only thing I was sure of from the start. Hee. I have this theory that it works well on characters who are slightly shy and in denial. /strange theory

And I'm glad that I made your heart go pitter-pat!
