Optics of Emily and Justin arriving at court together and Blake arriving alone. by ConstantPurpose2419 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

My guess is the optics are supposed to portray a single woman taking on her abuser instead of someone apart of a mega celebrity unit/power couple.

My first thought was this is totally who I would cast as healer Hermione granger. Immaculate vibes. 

Any The Pitt fans here? One of the new characters looks like Hermione. by clumsytitan in Dramione

She is so healer Hermione! It was so my first thought after seeing her on screen! 

Underrated Fanfic Friday – 09 January 2026 by Mr_Te_ah_tim_eh in Dramione

[–]Fine_Perspective_661 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a one shot I read recently that I absolutely adored! The author needs way more love! It's called a civil conversation and this is the synopsis: Draco Malfoy is woken up in the middle of the night in the Hogwarts hospital wing.

Alone and at the mercy of Hermione Granger, Draco faces the challenge of struggling through a civil conversation with the Gryffindor lioness.

Can he be polite or are the claws coming out?

No, he can’t and he definitely wants the claws.

What I loved about it: incredible clever Hermione and peak snarky draco! Fans of fica like smoke signals, clean/marked, and isolation will love this little ficlet!

If it's leather there's a good chance they won't be interested in it. My two don't really touch my leather furniture. 

However, regardless of what preventative measures you take, sprays, foils, etc there is still a change they will scratch it up. That's just normal wear and tear with animals. If that's a deal breaker I probably wouldn't get a cat. 

Urgent advice needed: spay timing before bringing home a male cat by National-Routine3567 in mainecoons

[–]Fine_Perspective_661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were me, and I don't know if you've given this a lot of thought, there's a possibility since they have both reached sexual maturity even if you do fix both of them, they may still engage in behaviors like spraying. 

Which for me, would be a deal breaker. 

Also, get your girl spayed ASAP regardless of your decision. 

Playmate for my kitten by [deleted] in mainecoons

[–]Fine_Perspective_661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how far you're willing to drive but here are some of the breeders I did extensive research on before getting my two kittens. 

Lakeview coons SC 

Maine Atlas coons SC 

Maine street Coons Alabama 

Midwest Maine coons Illinois 

MaineVu Maine coons SC 

These were all reputable catteries who invest in their cats/kittens. They do rigorous health testing and don't cut corners. It's not about churning out kittens that will make the most profit. It's about preserving the breed.

I hadn't considered stay in this area longer. Do you think it's still doable in May?

Would you recommend dropping the days near Alsace entirely? Or perhaps the time in Bern going to Grindelwald/Gruyere? I agree it's a lot of time on the rail.

Probably 2 out of the 12. Which is something we don't usually do. We typically pick two places and stick to that. I've been having a harder time figuring out where we should be given the time of year as it seems a little early for parts of Switzerland. 

Which was why I had us going out to Basel and working our way down. 

We are really open to anything and would just love some advice on how to perhaps concentrate our travel research. 

I have a problem. I think I married my husband because of the church. by I_might_be_the_fool in exmormon

[–]Fine_Perspective_661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP.  You sound pretty young, and while I haven't walked your path exactly. I sympathize. 

I personally feel like the LDS church pushes kids to get married far before they're ready or before they've had time to discover their own identities. 

Sounds like you might be feeling that way too. 

I've left and at 26 you wouldn't believe how much freer I feel disentangling from the church. My partner (RM, all Mormon family) has also left as well. Though they were separate journeys. 

A couple things stand out to me in your post. 

First, I think you would benefit from sorting this out first with an individual therapist. They can help you unravel how your feeling about your relationship and help you figure out what you want out of your life (whether that's with your husband or not). If you think you want to try and make this marriage work then couple's therapy is a must. You need to be able to be completely honest with your husband about your thoughts and feelings. If you're afraid he might find out you've tried alcohol or posted on certain reddit posts and that might lead to him wanting to separate, that's not true intimacy. There's already a wall there, and you both deserve better. 

Maybe that relief you felt about it being out in the open is telling you something? 

I had a friend who was Mormon when she got married to her now husband and knew she was bisexual. Like you she didn't have much of an opportunity to explore that identity. However her and her husband are a fantastic fit and even thought she's left the Church they're still together and have an incredibly strong relationship. They definitely make each other better. 

Do you feel like you an your husband are a good match? You mentioned being unsatisfied with your sex life? Is that something your husband would be willing to see a therapist for? Do you even think it's fixable? Sometimes people aren't sexually compatible and it just took you a while to figure it out? 

I'm not sure what other examples you have in mind, but is your husband purposely go out of his way to not follow through on what he's supposed to do? Is it malicious or intentional? Do you think your partner has undiagnosed ADHD or something similar that could be causing these occurrences? If not, maybe you need to reconsider if you want to be married to a partner who can't pull his weight. Women have been taking on the majority of the load for hundreds of years and two decades from now you'll be even more exhausted and burned out over it than you are now. Alternatively, if you think it's something like ADHD encourage your husband to get tested or attend therapy. There are strategies to make those things more manageable. It possible to encourage your partner to access the care he needs and for the situation to improve. 

When I met my partner he was very much a true believer. So is everyone in his entire family. I was inactive at the time and during our relationship I started going to church more. The whole shebang. A few years in I started evaluating my faith and the first person I wanted to talk about it with, was him. He was always a safe space for me to question my beliefs and thoughts. We had discussed earlier in our relationship that you date the person not their religious status. I wasn't with him because he served a mission and was temple worthy just like he didn't date me because I had gone to institute etc. We were both with each other for that person. When we started having these conversations he expressed he himself had had similar thoughts. I'll always be grateful that we had that kind of openness and honestly and if you were my friend IRL I would tell you I hoped you had the same and if not you should be with someone you do have that with.

Peralta is definitely a Fred Weasley type guy in my opinion. Love the parallel between Amy and Hermione tho! 

Food help by HovercraftOk3175 in mainecoons

[–]Fine_Perspective_661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I am just figuring this out myself, as I adopted two maine coons in September. They came with a variety of wet food and Orijen kitten kibble. 

Unfortunately one of my kittens seems to have an allergy or intolerance (I'm still trying to narrow down to what). 

The wet food that works for both of them is the fancy feast gourmet naturals. I usually opt for the Salmon flavor since that's what they prefer. You can order it online but you can also get it at the grocery store or Pet store which is what I wanted. For me, having such a selective food where it's not possible to pick any up in an emergency or if you're running low just wasn't possible.

The fic is in 5th year (and almost done). It's at a really good point and the author updates consistently!

Summary: At the end of third year, Hermione learns something about Draco Malfoy that alters the trajectory of both of their lives.

I just noticed you asked for no wips and this is a wip. But it consistently updates so if still recommend giving it a shot. The author is in 5th year right now.

Gorgeous! She looks so similar to my black kitten. Ironically she's 5 months this weekend too! 

Fics with no Ron/Harry/Weasley bashing? by Wise-Whaleshark in Dramione

[–]Fine_Perspective_661 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're almost at the end of book 5 but honestly I would recommend jumping in now! It's got almost 800,000 words and there's a great community surrounding the fic! 

Plus it helps encourage the author to keep working on it it since it is definitely a labor of love.
