(no subject)

I'm totally wiped from my weekend and wanna sleep forever and ever. *yawn* I'm also feeling shitty about shitty things. Mostly about shitty people saying shitty things and making everyone who reads it feel shitty.

so... let's do something fun. comment with a word or a link to something that makes you happy. no need to explain. And you know what? feel free to be anon.

any fandom/any pairing

anything you want just as long as it's something positive and you are not sharing private information about someone. I'll delete shit that is not love.

HP fic rec

I haven't been able to read a lot of entries in nextgendarkfest or really any at all. Just dark fics aren't doing it for me at the moment so I freely admit I read this because I beta read it. I could wait until reveals to admit that and rec it, but my brain has been living in this universe for months now and it's an amazing place and I can't wait another minute to share it with you.

Title: Irradiance
Rating: R
Word Count: 48,400
Pairing(s): Albus Severus/Scorpius
Warnings: (highlight at post)
Summary: Al starts Hogwarts knowing exactly who he is and what he wants from life. When the things he takes for granted fall away, he holds fast to the one truth that remains -- he loves Scorpius and he'll do whatever it takes to keep him safe.

Irradiance

First, yes - it was posted to a dark fest, but the fic is not horrifying, or helpless, or hopeless. It is dark in the sense that it deals with dark themes like death and grief and what that does to one's sanity. It deals with human nature, it's good and evils. It deals with how people cope with the reality of evil in the world. But above all that, it's a deeply romantic fic. Sweet and innocent in places, hot and fierce in others.

It also gives us a Scorpius like I have never seen before, quirky and incredibly social awkward. This Scorpius lives in my brain as clear as any character I've ever read. He owns my heart and I've shed my share of tears over him. He is one of the most real and interesting character's I have ever seen.

It's a long fic and 48k huge commitment for an anon dark fic. But if you are looking for an outstanding read, put on a pot of tea, curl up in the couch and let this writer's skill take you by the hand.
