heroes or phantoms, there's no turning back from this

I continually wonder to myself why I don't post more, but I'm pretty sure it's because my life is really repetitive! I go to bed, I wake up, I either go to work or I don't. That's pretty much it. Lately I've mostly been reading Harry Potter fanfiction-- I had the poor (or not?) judgment to sign up for [livejournal.com profile] harrypotterbang just because it's good to give me some kind of deadline to finish things I would want to write anyway-- and working on my fic for [livejournal.com profile] bandom_hc.

It is really, really fucking hot here lately. And for once I mostly don't exaggerate; it's been in the 90s and apparently will continue to be throughout the week. Additionally, I live in the Seattle area, which means that almost no one has air-conditioning.

It's less than a month until I go back to school. I honestly can't wait. I miss it.

I totally know how that is. I don't even realize how little I update my lj but there's really not a ton to say usually! The HBP movie has totally renewed my interest in HP fanfiction- Malfoy's epic manpain! Do you have any recs?

Oh my gosh, I've been melting the past few days. Yesterday was so ridiculously hot and today is already shaping up to be the same. And I could handle it if anyone around here had air conditioning but it's not necessary except for one month of the year.

If you like Harry/Draco, I certainly have recs! Unless you like fanon!Draco, in which case I don't.

Exactly. :/ There's so rarely any point to having air-conditioning, but on these days, man, I wish we had it anyway.

Yes, I was looking for Harry/Draco actually! And I don't know enough about HP fandom to know what fanon!Draco is even like, ha. I'm sure I'll like whatever you have.

Fanon!Draco is basically DRACO MALFOY: SEX GOD OF SLYTHERIN. WITTY, MISUNDERSTOOD, ELEGANT, SUAVE, POSSIBLY ABUSED BY HIS PARENTS. Et cetera.

Anyway, recs!

Perfect Day (http://community.livejournal.com/hd_worldcup/22049.html) has a really good Draco. 101 Ways to Heal Your Wizarding Woes (http://community.livejournal.com/hd_holidays/74104.html) does as well. I normally don't like epilogue-compliant H/D because it kind of has to have either infidelity, which I can't stand, or convenient divorces/deaths, but I was really charmed by the Lily/Scorpius in Father of the Bride (http://community.livejournal.com/hd_holidays/123431.html). I also liked the prickliness of Draco in Survival Instinct (http://www.worlds-colliding.co.uk/hdinspired_back_to_school/prompt_063.html).

Er, that's probably good for now. :D
