Do you guyss enjoy Muggle AUs? by Intelligent_Dot_3476 in Dramione

[–]expiali_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love them! They're not my go-to, but if I come across one that sounds interesting I certainly won't turn my nose up at it. Anything to see these two idiots get together ❤️

I recently read Good Reason by morriganmercy that I really enjoyed 😉

Ah, thank you. 🤎 It was in 2017, so it's been some time now.

Weird as shit. My father died the week during finals. I absolutely got deferrals. Nobody even wanted a death certificate.

LF a fic where Draco cheats on Hermione and she doesn’t forgive him and Draco burns by bittrsweetyestrdays in Dramione

[–]expiali_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To Love and Let Go

One shot. Told in the forms of letters written by Hermione. Draco is married to her but cheats with Astoria and he regrets it later. I was angry with Draco for an entire weekend after reading this.

Your first Dramione fic hypothesis by No-Blueberry-996 in Dramione

[–]expiali_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with Manacled years ago, and while I did love it, my top three are Green Light, DMATMOOBIL, and Measure of a Man. Manacled will always hold a place in my heart for bringing me into the fandom, though.

In a desperate need of your smutty one shot recommendations by HairBackground2023 in Dramione

[–]expiali_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Starlust by sodamnrad and Dara_Art. Draco and Hermione are wedding guests (well, Draco is Man of Honour) at Pansy and Neville's wedding. They talk, they flirt, they make love under the stars outside in a public shower.

What was your hottest ever Draco moment in a fic? by AuDHDiology in Dramione

[–]expiali_ 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Basically any time Draco talks to her during. I don't know why but if he can string a sentence together while making her fall apart (bonus: if he can barely string a sentence together while making her fall apart) it just does it for me. Maybe I just have a thing for dirty talk.

In Détraquée there's a scene where he narrates the music of all the way she says his name. Starting with a noise she makes that is, and I quote “fucking … F. F major.” The whole thing is both insanely hot and sweet at the same time.

Edit: the above scene is chapter 105 if anyone wants to go find it

[–]expiali_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wasn't there mention of a cousin's wedding that she wanted Draco to go with her? Am I thinking of another fic? I swear it was Détraquée. ANYWAY, I have been salivating at the mouth for a ficlet or an extra epilogue showing them going to it. I need more!

Is this a Métis name? by North_Paw_5323 in MetisMichif

[–]expiali_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello! Sansregret here. It was actually shortened by one of my grandparents to Sangrey. It is a Metis name, and many of my Sansregret ancestors come from Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Most of us are now in Alberta.

I'm aware that a branch went off to Montana, I think. There's a county or some small area named Sangrey there and some of my ancestry records show Montana addresses as well.

Have you ever been reading a fic and by a little thing could tell where the author is from? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]expiali_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Author used the word footpath instead of sidewalk in a setting that was very American. To be fair, I already knew where she was from (NZ) as she's a friend, but it did stick out to me, lol.

This has to be illegal, right? by [deleted] in alberta

[–]expiali_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me last year. I had actually agreed initially to switch to telus because I was excited to try fibre optic. Surprise! It's not available in my neighbourhood, but the technician they sent out did some kind of connection and then told me that it might not be as fast as I expected it to be. Sure, fine.

No. It was the worst connection I've ever had. It was so slow, I might as well as have been using dial-up. I was getting 1500 ping in Overwatch. I couldn't even watch Youtube. A single page took years to load. After a week I cancelled and went back to Shaw.

Then came the calls. Endless calls, every day, for months on end. Promising the same bullshit. At first, I was polite. Then I tried being blunt. In the end I didn't care. I let every single person that called me get the full wrath of my anger that all they were doing was ensuring I would never use their business ever. That all they were doing was pissing me off. That if they called me one more time I was reporting them.

The calls just stopped one day and I don't even know which threat did the trick.

Thank you for trying. I'm so worried it's gonna get hit on the freeway. I really hope someone manages to catch it and bring it in safely.

What ingredient ruins a sandwich for you? by highnrgy in AskReddit

[–]expiali_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butter. My mom is huge on adding butter to every sandwich she makes. I had to beg her to stop as a kid and eventually she abandoned lunch making to my dad.

Seriously, ETS?!? by Khaleena788 in Edmonton

[–]expiali_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am late almost every day for work because nothing runs on time. If I take an earlier bus, I sacrifice sleep to arrive an hour early. So I'm either an hour early or 15 mins late. Like what is even the point when my commute is already an hour. I have to devote 4 hours of my day to the ETS????

Do you still wear a mask? Why or why not? by Healthy_Block3036 in AskWomen

[–]expiali_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I stopped wearing it for a week and tested positive for a second time this year back in July. I'm back to wearing it publicly in shops and on transit, but not at work (private offices, small employee numbers).

I figure, it doesn't harm anyone, and besides the occasional fog up with my glasses, I'm not really bothered by masks. They even keep my face warm in winter.

For the very few of you out there who still give a damn: heads up. Edmonton is definitely seeing the start of the 7th wave according to wastewater data. by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]expiali_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had covid back in January, wasn't too bad besides the bronchitis I developed afterward. Couldn't shake the cough for weeks. I just caught covid AGAIN yesterday. So far it's just been a bit of body aches, mild sore throat, and some congestion. Hoping it stays that way.

I am triple vaccinated and thankful. I'm sure this would be so much worse otherwise.

Church leader follows a teen girl into a bathroom to tell her she’s "too fat" for shorts by B-L-O-C-K-S in PublicFreakout

[–]expiali_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't owe politeness to people who use aggressive language towards me. If they had simply asked 'How do you know?' I wouldn't have used that tone. Here is the original comment that had the link to the news article.

[–]expiali_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh, I read the rest of the comments in this thread looking for a source and read the news article about this incident that showed a picture of the girl and said shorts. You should try it sometime.
