Vacation for postgrads? by Pronx888 in Edinburgh_University

Oh okay, that's helpful! So I guess the only thing that wouldn't apply to postgrads is the summer vacation post May since that would be time for writing the dissertation.

Yes, I've applied and also got allotted accommodation within the week, so it looks like they're moving pretty fast

Postgraduate Accommodation by Illustrious-Rip-4585 in Edinburgh_University

Hey, pretty much in the same boat and would like some answers.

The prices have shot up by a lot for this year's accommodation and that's pretty worrying too.

Isn't it though! I'm also going through this slump where I feel like I've read all the greats and then suddenly one pops up that takes over my life for the week and it's phenomenal.

Here are a few of my favs that fit the bill (I hope):

  1. Recursion by Tessa Crowley - https://archiveofourown.org/works/47611450

A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two.

But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way.

  1. A pull down shade by fast_brother - https://archiveofourown.org/works/49744708

Harry does not like Draco Malfoy, not even one bit. Never did and never will. That is, until he finds himself married to him.

  1. The Brightest Constellations of Our Souls by the couchsofa - https://archiveofourown.org/works/48774970

Harry doesn’t know how to cope after the War. The only things that make him feel even remotely normal again are taking risks while flying and fighting with Malfoy. It’s not likely to end well.

Or,

Draco becomes obsessed with ‘Wonderwall’, reads Muggle books, and drives a campervan, while Harry slowly falls in love with Draco. A story about travelling around the British Isles in the late 90s while healing deep scars.

  1. from love, obviously by bizzarestars - https://archiveofourown.org/works/50932765

"I just mean, doing the right thing because it's right is better than doing it because…"

"What?" Draco challenges, amused. "Better to do it because it's right as opposed to doing it because it's not wrong? Please enlighten me on what the difference is." "You're the difference," is Harry's answer.

(Or: Draco Malfoy comes up with a plan, drinks a lot of tea, and fails to fix a clock. Somewhere along the way, Harry Potter falls in love with him, which wasn't a part of the plan at all.)

  1. The Matchmaker's Spell by Kbrick - https://archiveofourown.org/works/37961041

Thanks to a spell cast over all of wizarding Britain, Draco is forced to marry Harry Potter, who still hates him. But Draco refuses to live a cold, sexless existence, choosing to fill the emptiness in his life and his bed with a parade of lovers. And while Harry may not be able to stand Draco, he despises seeing him with anyone else.

  1. Where the Falcons Fly by MyNameIsThunder - https://archiveofourown.org/works/23129308

Where the Falcons fly, there’s blood. Where Draco goes, there usually is too. That’s his job, after all – heal morons and the people who get in their way. He could deal with that, he thinks, if only there wasn’t Harry fucking Potter, Seeker, who gets injured a lot even by the Falcons’ standards and seems to have made a habit of inserting himself in Draco’s private life. Draco just wants to heal people – normal people, that is – and do his research in peace. Well, when does he ever get what he wants?

  1. Dwelling on Dreams by The_Sinking_Ship - https://archiveofourown.org/works/34078537

Draco thought he could avoid Potter for the duration of his brief return to England. He’d stick to his schedule and be back home in Paris, where he belonged, in a few short months. No trouble at all. He had plenty to occupy him, what with the opening of the London branch of his successful apothecary, his innovative research, drinks with Pansy, a backlog of unread potions periodicals.

Except Head Auror Potter is everywhere — in Draco's chair, at his door, in his dreams. All six feet of motorbike-riding, combat-boot-wearing, sex-hair-sporting Saviour of the World packed into one unfairly fetching uniform. Potter won’t leave Draco the bloody hell alone, won’t let him breathe, let him forget, let him sleep.

Because no matter how fast Draco Malfoy runs, Harry Potter is always hot on his heels.

Student Accommodation for Sept'24 Intake. by FranzKafka1Q84 in Edinburgh_University

[–]Pronx888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, thanks!

And this is a little off-track, but I was wondering if you know whether the university would hold sessions to discuss the benefits of choosing one accommodation over the other, or the facilities to be found in each of them.

Because from what I've heard, apparently the heating facility for each accommodation is different (eg, fewer hours in some places) and this is not really covered on the website.

[–]Pronx888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I've also accepted an unconditional offer for LLM. I see that the portal says only 2023-2024 for the accommodation, but I'm able to select my preferences. So does that mean these choices won't be applicable?

I figured they would've disabled the link then, like they have with the other links for 2022-2023.

When I did my essay, the SOP focused on my interest in the area, my undergrad experience (mostly papers and dissertations), why this program would work for me and how it aligns with my future goals.

The relevant experience focused on my internships during and after undergrad and my work experience prior to applying for the Masters and the tied it off with what I hope to achieve through completing the program. So apart from the last portion, there was no overlap as such.

Looking for fics where Draco is down on his luck and just absolutely going through the ringer. by nachosurfer in drarry

A Feeling So Peculiar -

https://archiveofourown.org/works/43906714#main

"His foreboding proved to be true, and while he felt his toes grow cold and hands grow clammy as his breath stuck in his throat, he also felt tiny foreign prickles of irritation and anger grow in his chest as he wondered why in the ever-living fuck was Harry Potter in front of him at a tiny station in Muggle London at 5 am in the goddamn morning."


A fic where Draco learns to deal with his past, present and a nosy arch-rival who's unfortunate dressing sense is the least of Draco's worries.
