I am shamefully behind on the SS/HG Exchange and probably will not be catching up soon, but I have been picking and choosing things somewhat randomly to use as attempts at bribery. The most recent one was an adorable gen piece (I have a guess as to the author, but I will not reveal it) called Felis FamiliarisIt's set during Hermione's cat episode ( Read more... )

I have developed a system of bribery for when I am working on papers-a system of which I am rather fond. I find a good, long fic that I haven't read before and only read a chapter after I have reached a certain number of words. It's torturous and I'm not sure it actually helps because sometimes I am sucked in against my will (self-control? what is ( Read more... )

I'm finally catching up on the sshg_exchange (and poking at my pinch hit and brainstorming for the lm_hgficxchange and working like made on my thesis-yay, productivity!), and am thrilled to at last be able to read the fics that I've been seeing squee'd all over the place...

Is what I say to renitaleandra and harmony_bites for presenting me with temptation. I have zero self-control. Curses to the both of you!

I should be studying. I should have Antony and Cleopatra read already and have made my way onto Richard II. Cruel creatures ( Read more... )

It was (surprisingly) a Harry/Hermione, which I've never shown an inclination for, called Finding Jane by DeliverMeFromEve, and it has lots of things that I'm fond of in post-DH fic. With Austen references, which can only make me happy. (My actually coherent rec for it is here. ETA: If you have problems with KIA, it's on the feed, here as well.On ( Read more... )

I found one. Or, rather, sweetly asked Arianna, as she is the person who introduced me to the wonderful world of Draco fic, to find me one and she so pleasantly obliged. Probably one that everyone else has read already, but if you don't frequently hang out in the land of Drarry (or the land of Draco) it's called The Years that Walk Between by femmequixotic, ( Read more... )
