and i'm steady but i'm starting to shake

I present to you three of the (many) requested fics from that meme everyone's doing. Unfortunately I'm not doing them in, um, order they were requested or anything, just kind of... order of when I am ~inspired~.


jacob/tanya, twilight, for latine

She tastes like ice, smells like death and he cannot get enough of her.

He burns her tongue and her nose and she can’t get enough of him, either, because Alaska is just so cold. She’s been cold for hundreds of years, now, but he melts the ice in her veins and she cools the fire in his and it’s precisely the perfect temperature.

Jacob doesn’t say it and Tanya pretends not to feel it, but they both know this chemistry – the electric collision of contradictions – is exactly what Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen have forsaken on their wedding night.

Jacob sheds no tears on their behalf; Tanya wouldn’t even if she could.



draco/ginny, harry potter, for johnmayergirl23

It’s such a cliché. Love, hate and the thin line between, two houses alike in dignity - same old story. Ginny almost regrets being involved in something so…. so trite, wants to gag at the idea there are harlequins out there that are just like this, at the thought that the names Romeo and Juliet might even be slightly relevant…

But it’s just as cliché for the hero to get the girl, and tragedies make history more often than comedies.


sirius/lily, harry potter, for kirrea

He never quite manages to ignore the guilty gnaw in his stomach, but then it never quite manages to stop him, either. It’s wrong, wrong, wrong but he’s always had a twisted sense of morality and Lily, for all her halos and badges, doesn’t seem up to the challenge of realigning his moral compass. Sometimes he wonders which of the two of them is worse – is it the woman who claims to be in love or is it the boy who claims to be a brother? – but it’s dragon and egg, really, because he never should have started it but she never should have let it continue.

It’s that undertone of guilt, probably, that prevents the Dementors from taking those memories with them. Funny, that; imprisoned for his best friend’s death and all he can seem to remember is how that friend’s wife tasted.

Whoo.

Sidenote: ZOMG CANON MARAUDER ONE-SHOT, GUYS, I AM SO EXCITED.

LOL, I have not been ruined by Twilight fic, because I have never really been inclined to read it. I love the slight snark in Bedward's direction :D

I AWAIT JUNE 11 WITH ALL GREAT ANTICIPATION. Even if she might shatter all our MWPP illusions even more, like she did with DH. WTF. James didn't even have his wand when he died, wtf. It occurs to me she may well have been copping out of action scenes in the book, because she had Harry miss a lot of the Battle of Hogwarts as well.

Haha I've read some. It's alwys sad when the fanfic is better than its source material.

ME TOO, even though yeah, it could be disastrous. I hope they're totally awesome and everyone who's all OMG THEY WERE ASSHOLES will be amazed by how awesome they were. Yep. And maybe, but DH was already getting long plus we know JKR can write good action scenes, it's one of the things she's best at, I think.

I am in accordance with you, because she had written action scenes en el pasado. But the wand. He left it on the couch. INSTANT DISINTEGRATION OF FANGIRL DREAMS. *laughs* I feel vaguely bad for all those fandom authors who wrote the scene, only to be screwed over by the lack of heroism.
