Hi from Texas! There are a million things to say, but I have a million things going on, so I say the most important.
-I rec When All The Years Fill In, Harry/Ginny, by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seraphcelene. Yes, your resident Harry/Draco shipper is reccing Harry/Ginny. This is a very short piece, about why Harry/Ginny don't work. Even though I don't ship Harry/Ginny, and in fact sort of anti-ship them (though you'll never see me bash them, because I love Ginny and used to love the ship very much), this fic made me sort of wish they could work out. Not because they're so right for each other, but because all the ways they're wrong are so realistic and hurty, and I wish our world and living our lives was more of what we dream, you know? The imagery and the insights in this piece are absolutely exquisite.
-I rec The Seduction of Wendy Darling, Peter Pan, byseraphcelene. I'm not in Peter Pan fandom. Does it have a fandom? Pls to be telling me it does, because one reason I love this fic and am reccing it is because this canon is some seriously twisted shit. As the author makes use of herself, the 2003 movie made use of it too, but it was still marketed for kids, which meant a lot of the twistedness had to remained at least sort of subtle. This author brings all that to the fore. The imagery and language in this is beautiful, too.
Both this and the Harry/Ginny piece are about the realities of growing older and losing the dreams of youth, a concept which is near and dear and wrenching to my heart. Few things I've read have captured the pain and poignancy of it as this author has. Both are short, so if you have a moment, go read and feed.
-I recmy_daroga as a person and LJ friend. She's one of the best people I've ever met. LJ-wise--check out her photography, which almost always tells it's own story, not just of beauty but of something else besides. She also does movie reviews of interesting films; they're always very insightful and often ironic (and amusing), but also concise and to the point, and they don't spoil. She also does has an awesome sense of humor. When I get her jokes I feel special. Plus she's a Phantom of the Opera BNF and is revitalizing phandom one brick by bloody brick. I love her.
-I'm still posting Go Your Own Way, (Batman) Bruce Wayne/Jim Gordon with lots of dirty talk and daddy kink. I'll tell you when I'm done but I thought I'd remind you. I wonder if now is the best time to post these things, with everyone so busy...may repost the recs again later. Anywho, I like this story. I still don't get it, but I like it.

I miss you already and I can't wait to inundate you with blather when you return.
And your other recs are awesome (as you already know and as you know I know as you probably read my comments to them). Especially the Peter Pan one. It kills me.

Houston is fucking HOT. And humid.
I was going to email you, but since I'm here:
-Dude, I suck :o( I'm sorry about those pans I left in the sink, and thank whoever washed them. I felt bad about them all day Thursday!
-I left chicken in the fridge, from when we and Mr. Daroga's friends went out. It might be bad by now, but it's probably going to get worse. I left a comment for E on lj, but I wanted to let you know it was there in case something starts smelling. Sorry!
L is an awesome writer. Some of the best imagery out there. I wish we could have more of the Peter Pan one, but I'm glad we got what we did!

No worries about the pans. It's fine. I think I washed them, but I don't mind.
I'll make sure E got your note.
She is! I'm glad she posted it, because it's hurty in a really good way.

And my_daroga continues to be made of win. I'm in love with the photography and reviews and I'm so glad that you friended her and that I started reading.
Happy Holidays, buttercup!!
Enjoy yourself. Despite the heat. :)
