old school fic cravingsss

[nekare]

Isn't it weird how there's things that squick you real bad in real life and yet you find totally hot in fiction? Yeah, for me it's that 'hot for teacher' cliche. I get really grossed out by real teachers screwing around with their students, as they're in a position of power and trust, and they're just abusing it, and they sould all be fired and probably heavily researched and fined. (I guess it's different with uni students, but it's still a bit icky).

And I'm such a hypocrite, because in fiction? OMG SO HOT. There was a Remus/Sirius fic that I followed something hardcore in which Sirius makes a bet with James for how long it would take him to bed the new hot DADA teacher and there's lots of tension and sneaky kissing and of course Sirius falls properly and then he finds out about the werewolf thing and he's a dick to Remus because this Sirius never spent his formative years helping a sickly and terrified twelve-year-old Remus after a transformation, and Remus is all heartbroken and Sirius still wants him but is conflicted AND THEN THE AUTHOR NEVER UPDATED EVER AGAIN.

To which I say: totally not fair.

Hi there. Obviously, it must be That Time Of The Year, because I only just finished reading a Draco/Harry fanfic. Cheers! :D

Ha, there will always be times in our lives when we suddenly crave some old school HP fic! Have you ever read Mirabella's H/D stuff, by the way? I remember she had this MASSIVE and really creative fic that I never finished. Maybe I should!

I don't think I ever read those, because I was never very interested in H/D. But I must admit that the Harry-saved-Draco's-life post-war dealing-with-their-respective-angstiness scenario has given new life to that. Oh, by the way, maybe that's your story: it's called Teacher's Pet by Cobalt Violet, and it still exists on FF.net. I found it on my old favourite list. Your choice if you wanna go look for it. ;D

So, what've you been up to? I can't really follow you on Facebook, because I still can't speak Spanish, woe. Stupid university considers itself too important to let me learn.
