"Die, Harry. Die!"

*falls over sporffling*

They are so hopeless... *shakes head at the eternal one-upping*

[speak_me_fair]

They really are. I love them to bits for their sheer inability to shut up.

[gileonnen]

^____^ That is my favorite thing about them. And there are a whole lot of things I like about them, particularly the way you write them.

[speak_me_fair]

I love writing them - I cannot do the Perfect Match thing, but I can make them snipe non-stop.....

[gileonnen]

Heeeee, this is hilarious and mad and I adore it. And the peroxide; my family has always used peroxide on cuts and I cannot think why other people wouldn't--but oh, Harry, you are just that hard, aren't you. You really do fancy that you're Bond, or at least Indiana Jones--

Also, I think we are all going to have to sort out where this bloody university is because we have got all manner of different bureaucratic systems and whatnot going at once.

[speak_me_fair]

This is a good point. I just sort of had it....vaguely English red-brick, or something *G*

Oh Lord, Harry as Indiana Jones.....*falls over*

my family always used peroxide too. OW.

[gileonnen]

I'd thought that at first, but then Lea pointed out that several of the conflicts that are going to come up later simply wouldn't in an English system, which I didn't know because I am a jingoistic Yank. So we quietly sneaked them off to New York. >_>;;;

Wouldn't he be just perfect, though? One part utterly failed taciturn historian, one part military hero, one part flaily adventurer!

but it was cool and sharp and it bubbled! HOW MUCH FUN IS THAT!

[speak_me_fair]

And faculties don't have libraries in NY, right? Damn....or play rugby, probs.

*cringes* Sorry....

IT IS FUN. BUT SSSSSSSSH. OR THEY'LL ALL WANT SOME.

[lareinenoire]

I adore your Hal and Hotspur SO VERY MUCH. They're both so utterly perfectly them.

"Good job there. But word to the wise, Hal. Don't go after the bloke your father's got wanting him, a'right? Getting the Fuck up in arms - 's not the same as free licence to Bordeaux's dick."

OH NO YOU DIDN'T.

I want more of this.

[speak_me_fair]

I SO DID *cackles evilly*

As long as I have permission - and can find out something about NY uni systems *facepalms* - I will do more. Because it is just TOO MUCH FUN.

I am SO tempted to start an "Open AU FAQ" post where people can add info about their AUs...

[speak_me_fair]

DO SO!!!

[zoi_no_miko]

*is so amused*
You rule at the witty banter, have I mentioned this before?

[speak_me_fair]

*laughs and hugs you* Yeah, you kind of did. But I take all compliments gladly!!

(Also, I love exercising snark....never have guessed, would you?)

[zoi_no_miko]

(What? No, never! :p)

The "Fuck" thing had me sniggering right from the get go. XD

Peroxide?
He must have said that out loud, because Percy is blinking at him a bit and not-quite smiling.
"Yeah. Bond does that."

LOL. OMG, this is fantastic! :D
