I think the main problem with this Ron/Harry fic that I've been stalled on and picking at for months is that I'm trying to force it somewhere it can't go.
I keep trying to twist it around to being Ron/Harry, when in my personal read of the series, this pairing has much more standing in the way of it than Harry/Draco. And I haven't been recifying that in the fic so far. So maybe the problem is that I need to just let go of this new need for happy endings.
Because, dude. That's what was stalling that Ginny/Hermione, that's what has kept this R/H choked, and that's what was fucking me up initially in the latest thing I've been playing with.
Sometimes I need to let it go, and I used to be able to do that. It was about telling a story, not getting two characters together.
And I think that the fact that I've lost myself along the way in this fandom when it comes to that fact is one of the reasons why the writing process has become so clogged for me. I need to just let the fic come, and let it play out however it plays out.
