REC - 10k - Glass Half Full (Ron/Pansy)

Day three of the 10k showcase and yet another emo fic. *g* There will be happy, funny fic. Eventually. But until then, Pir8 has an amazing story to tell.

Title: Glass Half Full
Author: pir8fancier
Pairing: Ron/Pansy
Rating: R
Warnings: Sustance abuse, filthy language, lots of smoking references
Word Count: 10,047
Summary: Twenty years after the battle at Hogwarts, it's not happily ever after.

This is one of the few fics in the Showcase that is written on the subject of the writer's chosen cause. Anyone that has struggled with Alcoholism or watched someone struggle with Alcoholism understands denial and knows that recovery doesn't come with any quick fix. This fic is Ron's journey through this all too familiar (to some of us) road to sobriety. Pir8 give a great characterization of Ron as insecure and stubborn. He wants to be loved and respected. In other words, he is perfectly canon!Ron and a look at how canon!Ron would be years later in the shadow of his wife and best friend. It is incredibly real, but it is not bleak. I found it powerfully hopeful.

Ficlet for Romaine

I'm not around tomorrow, so I'm doing this now.

Happy Birthday romaine24! In the past year, you've become one of my dearest friends. You are a fabulous inspiration, enabler and co-conspirator. Never change. ♥

Here's a little teaser of a ficlet. There may be more to come! And maybe not from me. *iz ev0l*

And lalalalala… I'm not telling you the pairing(s). It’s PG though. Thanks to softly_sweetly for the beta. I added a bunch of stuff (and more than likely a few errors). Anyway, Rom would be shocked if I didn't have SPaG issues.

And the SEQUEL had been posted Read All About It by the fabulous softly_sweetly.

Bwahahahhahaha! we now have a prequel!!! Winning Affection by nolagal.

And if anyone is wondering where I got the original idea for this fic, it was a rip-off from this conversation and Rom's comment drabble from last November. Draco/Lily drabbly thoughts
