Guess what! I spent all of today and all my free time yesterday surfing through fanfiction rather than catching up on my NaNoWriMo word count. And though I’ll probably be a bitch and whine about it later, for now I wish to share my wonderful discovery. If only with myself.
I have more, brand new, favourite Harry Potter pairings! Amazing, yes?
Well, I was bored, I’d caught up on all my Sirius/Remus fanfiction (slash fan-girl that I am meant I couldn’t resist for long) and my natural procrastinative nature meant I didn’t do my NaNo. I’m behind by four days (that’s eight thousand words) as I type, but that is completely not the point right now.
Anyway, so I was currently finished with my OTP and so I decided to check out some fringe ones like Harry/Ron (though I normally opt for Harry/Draco and Ron/Hermione). In one of these Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan were mentioned and I had to search them up. Still bitter from Sirius’ death and Remus’ consequent marriage to Tonks, I have refused to read the sixth and seventh books, removed the fifth from my mind and – regrettably – have not had a chance to pick up the first four. As a result I only had a vague idea of who the two were. Which was pretty much that one was an artist and the other was Irish.
Double checking who they were, I remembered instantly as a very slash-worthy and very slashed couple and immediately slashed them myself. I also fell in love with Dean who is fucking adorable and dead cute.
But, it seems, that they receive little recognition all by themselves and are more of a side pairing and I quickly read all the fics available on fanfiction.net and didn’t think to search for more elsewhere (which I will do once I’ve sorted out my word count) and just open searched with Dean in the Character box. Skimming through some, I pulled up an adorable little gem about Dean sketching and subsequently snogging Blaise Zabini (who I have also grown to love) in the library.
Naturally I practically fell over myself, squealed for a while and read the others of that pairing, a disappointing two more in total… I was then later prompted to search for Blaise/Draco and also Dean/Draco.
Although I prefer Dean/Seamus of all these pairings, I love them all and in an attempt to return to a previously read fic in my history, to determine favourites, I accidentally clicked on a link to a YouTube of Legolas and Aragorn as just “special friends” that my best friends had watched when using my laptop sometime last week.
I promptly fell in love with and slashed them too. I am also inspired to read Lord of The Rings and watch the movies (to pick out the cute slashy bits), something I’ve never felt the urge to do before, despite being read the Hobbit at a young age by my father.
Oh the weird and wonderful mind of a hormonal (coughhornycoughcough) teenage fan-girl.
And T-al-Damn-It, I’ve got to get back to my NaNo.
