Notes: All bolded text is from various works and letters by Soren Kierkegaard. ‘I have earned the right’ is from Jean Genet’s ‘The Balcony’. I still cannot believe I have written post-DH fic. While this does not explicitly mess with the epilogue it's my way of taking the edge off it.The year after the final battle.

Thankyou for reading!

How has fandom been treating you? I haven't seen you around in a while.

Not at all, as I said I adore your fic, so it's a pleasure. :)

Fandom's been fine, just real life that it sucking all my time at the moment, alas. Still, it's the weekend, so I might manage to finish editing my own post-DH fic...

Heh, well, thankyou!

Go edit your post-DH fic. There needs to be more of the stuff out there!

Thank you, you know, for doing something with a clearly-ought-to-be-shell-shocked Harry. Because JK thought he just wanted a sandwich and his four-poster bed.

Also: "Tom and Dumbledore, like the two outflung arms of a galaxy engaged in a centuries-long celestial waltz." is going to stick with me for quite some time.

Something lame is that I'm considering getting a Harry Potter related tattoo and if I were really a crazy person I would get Voldemort on one calf and Harry on the other, locked in an eternal duel, wands drawn, and magical swirly crap flying all around them, along with the text "Two Sides" on one calf, and "One Coin" on the other. Thankfully I'm not a crazy person.

This is Chloe, btw.

Does the fact that that tattoo sounds awesome make me a crazy person? I think it does. It would be the best fandom detector ever, though- all you'd have to do is wear a skirt and watch for the squeeing!

(ps: real-life journal lives at castophrenia if you have interest in pointless rambling.)

I kind of wish I were a crazy person, because I would fucking LOVE to have that tattoo. I think my mother would pretty much crucio me into the next room, though. You're so right about the squeeing, though. I mean, it would almost be worth it for the enhanced fandom radar.

You know what's funny? I kind of feel this weird renewed Harry Potter love, and I almost think it's because it's OVER.

And you know what's sad? That basically everyone from Lily and Jame's generation is dead. Speaking of which, you should write some beautifully atmospheric Dumbledore/Grindelwald fic. Like, soon.

Shall friend the RL journal, of course.

Don't have enough time to read right now; I'm hopeful I'll be able to do so tomorrow after work. Just wanted to say hello since it's been a while.

Oktober! It has indeed been a while. I have missed totalitarianism plotting with you! How have you been, what have you been up to? x

THANK GOD GOOD FIC AT LAST. *EXPLODES WITH JOY* Oh you cannot imagine the agony as I have waited, WAITED, for somebody to write good fic. And you and Rhod did it both at once! Everything else is all AS/S fic and horrible second-generation nastiness, but this takes the heart of the novel and spins it off in a completely new direction, plus this:

he’s opened a new account at Abbey National because it seems like the least magical British bank apart from maybe Tesco’s financial services

MADE ME LAUGH LIKE A MOFO. Now I know that when money disappears from my HSBC account, it really IS magic!
