Somehow, I only just this week got around to reading Floriography, by Endrina (an epilogue for the ‘Secret Language of Plants’ series). Pretty sure I was smiling and happy sighing all the way through. Harry returned home at the age when most people start thinking about leaving.
A huge thank you to susannaoh for figuring out I was talking about The Meaning of Geranium, by Endrina (part of the The secret language of plants series). And of course it turns out I *did* have it bookmarked, and have also recced it before! This is the summary I put on my pinboard bookmark: […]
I was going to rec that Harry Potter fic where Percy Weasley is a Seer, and also seriously needs a nap, because I’ve been thinking about it a lot this week, except I thought I’d already done a post about it. But then I went looking and not only could I not find a previous […]
1. Last night: electric candle in the window, behind a white shade. Stinkbug, on the bulb. Yeah, that shadow just about did me in when I saw it. 2. Today is our workplace yankee swap. So far I’m two for two in getting blankets. What will this year bring??? 3. Another Christmas fic, Harry Potter […]
Sticking with the Harry Potter trend for a third week! This fic holds the (dubious?) honor of being the only fic I’ve ever read with Theodore Nott as a romantic lead. Extremely light-hearted, extremely AU — featuring helpful mirrors! blind dates! everyone lives! Finding Mr Right, by Nia_River Wherein Ginny thinks Heidi needs to get […]
FYI: this is the series that ate last weekend (oops) and a not insignificant portion of this week (no great loss). But I thoroughly enjoyed it! (I also skipped all the way to the end *really* early on, just to check. Look, it’s important to me to know what I’m getting into before I get […]
Future’s Past, by darkseraphina This one reads like a completely enjoyable regency romance novel (absolutely intended to be a compliment, as someone who loves a good regency romance!). All of the Tragic Past pretty much wraps up after the first few chapters, and from then on it is all Enjoyable Correspondence and Strolling in the […]
Harry Potter again! A post-War fic where Harry moves in with Andromeda to help with Teddy. The Years Before Love, by Lomonaaeren Today is rain, and a second cup of tea without nasty potions in it, and Andromeda talking softly to him about her own childhood—it was hemlock, but otherwise his guesses about what plants […]
Sometimes it’s just nice to go back and hang out in the Harry Potter fandom. In Which Harry is Magnetic North and Draco Is An Idiot, by bryoneybrynn Potter waved a dismissive hand at him. “That part’s not hard. Just Floo them up and say, ‘Hello, I know we haven’t spoken in ten years and […]
Slithering, by astolat Set immediately after the war — I really liked seeing the recovery from Draco’s perspective. Also another fascinating take on Narcissa Malfoy, one of my fandom faves. “So.” Harry paused and stared at him through the gates, evidently at a loss when he couldn’t yell and stamp his foot any longer.
