goodness gracious me
Oh my goodness, I need to update this thing more! But alas, this week I've been very busy with classes followed by being quite sick, and now I'm finally feeling ok. I caught a pretty bad cold pretty much as soon as I moved back on campus (just my luck), and my head has been so congested that I thought it was going to literally crack open. I woke up wheezing and coughing on Friday and spent my day off from classes in the health center breathing into a nebulizer (aka, being Darth Vader). This weekend I pretty much laid around and slept and watched movies. I did a tiny bit of homework (heh heh, I could have easily done my reading in bed, but I like to use "I'm sick" as an excuse to put off my work, lol), and tonight I had my first orchestra rehearsal of the semester (which went ok, I'm still a bit rusty but not nearly as bad as I was expecting), and then trying to get more reading done for class tomorrow but getting distracted by glorious and wonderful and sob-inducing HP fanfic.
I don't usually do fic-recs (because honestly I don't read all that many of them except for the occasional smut), but I kinda of stumbled upon this one and it was so perfect and just so needed (at least to me) because of the emotional trauma that Deathly Hallows put me through:
Fox Ears by The Starhorse. "The Weasley family is deep in mourning after the battle of Hogwarts, but George has better ideas than to sit around and cry about something he'd rather just fix. And Charlie believes he can do it. Post DH, Charlie's POV."
And to go along with it (this is actually how I found it in the first place): an illustration by olafpriol on deviantART. I love how she draws the twins, and there's a lot them in her gallery, so go check it out. :D
Seriously, I loved this fic so much that I think it's now going to be my own Official Canon for DH. I would gush more, but I don't want to ruin it, so just go read it. I really wish I had more time to write my own post-DH fic (the one that I started forever ago and you all left lovely encouraging comments on, and then I never updated it again, lol). I actually have a bit more written than I had posted, but it's not in order. Ack, stupid school takes all my time away from my fandoms! XD
Anywho, I suppose it should be bedtime. I took my nebulizer a little while ago because it makes me so shaky and jittery that I can't take it right before bed or I'll be laying there with my heart pounding and wide awake for a while (it's not fun). I think I've mostly calmed down from it now (I couldn't take it before orchestra because it makes my hands so shaky that I didn't think I'd be able to play! I hate being sick!). And I've been exhausted since about 10 pm, but forced myself to do work instead of going to bed early. Blech.
Good night, sweet f-list! Go read that story, it fills the Void and calms the Ocean of Heartache and Sorrow that I hope I'm not the only one who feels about DH. XD
