It’s post war. Very very fluffy. And sweet. Scorpius is so adorable.

archiveofourown.org/works/10620276/chapters/23489001The fallout I started reading The Fallout because everyone over on strictly Dramione keeps talking about it. I randomly started reading it this weekend and damn it’s so good. Plus damn those smut parts are A++. Basically war is still going. draco joins the order. It’s kind of a draco gets a redemption story. Lots of angst and awkward times between those two. Slowish burn. Ron and Harry are not there because they are hunting horcruxes. I can’t remember if I have read this or not yet. So I’ll just start it. Again. Or for the first time 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

It was just heavy and stuff. so much angst Like woah tho.

Like people over in the groups say they re-read it every year and I can’t. I don’t think I’ll want to re-read that. Although I think Draco and Hermione are pretty accurate. Usually with these fics they make Hermione kind of a super woman and in TF she’s more human and has noticeable flaws.

Anyway I started reading this one. It seems fluffy, but it’s only chapter 1. Recently completed. Basically Harry is divorcing Ginny. I don’t normally like bad Ginny, but whatevs. So he’s got the boys and Hermione seems to help him. She finds Draco and baby Scorpius at Diagon Alley and it starts there. m.fanfiction.net/s/12949043/1/A-Second-Look

Though I agree that the Weasley characterizations were all kind of negative.

I think my favorite Ginny is DoT Ginny. It doesn't bother me when Harry gets paired with someone else though. Broken is so good, but that version of Ginny is kind of ott. But it fits for the story.

Right? I get the Ron hate. Normally I even love it. But so ooc hate to other Weasleys is weird to me. I’ve been re- reading some fics. One I had to stop because Ginny was made to be greedy and sort of painted negatively fir being promiscuous. The feminist in me is so what?

m.fanfiction.net/s/12999295/1/Somewhere-Down-the-LineStarted this one tonight. Years after the war Draco writes a recount of the war through his lense. Hermione is in line to buy the book and they eventually struck a conversation where they genuinely have a good time with each other. I’m not that far out in the book, but I think his parents are still trying to set him up for marriage. Seems like a good fic so far.

I’m pushing through but there’s no way I could ever read it yearly

I know I'm not the only Regency Austen reader around here. Here's a fun one (almost done, just 3 chapters left) about Lizzie and Darcy meeting earlier than in canon and falling in love, only for Mr. Bennet to attempt to separate them. Author's other stories are good too. You need an account at A Happy Assembly to read though. Forgot the link meryton.com/aha/index.php?/topic/20432-dare-to-refuse-such-a-man/

I’m reading a WIP and I’m struggling. I’m really excited because it’s long and well written...except I feel like I need a dictionary to understand the words she is using. She called his penis “tumescent”. I have a pretty large vocabulary and yikes.... ETA here is the link archiveofourown.org/works/23994118

I'm already giggling We’ll see how long I last that was the part where I had to hit pause until you guys all about it. I think I’m four chapters in? five? I still don’t know what tumescent means And I don’t know if I wanna look it up

I caved and looked it up. Apparently it means aroused or swollen especially in a sexual style. Which now I’m just annoyed that she could’ve just used any other word. Especially when phrased “draco’s tumescent cock”

Ok I’m actually at ch 9, and this is how is starts:
Draco has his black roll-neck jersey sweater half-off when someone bangs heartily on his front door knocker. Three perfectly spaced raps, a pause, then three more less patient beats.
“Alright, I’ll be there in a minute!” he yells, the words muffled as his head gets stuck in the unfurled turtleneck. He thrashes around in a frustrated lather until the dratted garment slides back down.

I love some descriptions, but when it's so gratuitous, it seems they link vocabulary makes for better writing, and it just doesn't

Instead of saying the room was dark she said something about the Stygian room. I did look that one up immediately because I was very wtf. Stygian. Definition: extremely dark, gloomy, or forbidding. The "dark and gloomy" sense of stygian is a figurative one, as the original meaning of the word (which may also be found in capitalized form) was decidedly literal ("of or relating to the river Styx").

Someone got a thesaurus for her birthday. Makes about as much sense as tapeworm showing up as a synonym for love. Which is a thing and why MH got a dagger named tapeworm for our anniversary one year.

I can certainly appreciate someone trying out some new writing styles or trying to expand their vocabulary but it was so over the top and garments are dratted and offending (or another adjective, I can’t remember all of them) in the same paragraph haha

I've fallen into Cursed fanfic and am displeased there are only 5 pages on Ao3. It's too young. Best start writing your own.
