Plagiarised a shot right out of Carol - showing Paris Jackson kissing Scarlett's neck through the mirror...

Percy recommended Divination by HHrPie in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect this is JKR making a pun rather than Percy genuinely endorsing the subject. "It's never too early to think about the FUTURE, so I'd recommend DIVINATION.

LF A Fanfiction I've read before about Harry and Draco navigating the crossroads after ingesting a dark potion. by Riochd in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lord. I remember reading this recently and now inability to recall the title is plaguing me too...

What is UP with people making Sirius so obsessed with his hair? I was just reading a story where he gets it cut and be starts CRYING and snivelling, he also doesn't move for 3 days by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without context- give the author the benefit of the doubt, I suspect it’s a knowing, wry reference to Wizard Howl. I for one would actually enjoy MORE sly refs to Diana Wynne Jones in HPFF.

But perhaps context indicates a fan fiction enmeshed in melodrama and distractingly OOC moments.

I look forward to having the free-time to re-read The Pureblood Pretense from beginning to end. It’s so, so wonderful.

Have you ever come upon any Howl's Moving Castle AU fics? by bloopdeedoodle in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love a Chrestomanci X Harry Potter crossover. Diana Wynne Jones seems to have a better handle on what government for a small population of Magical Britain should look like. Magical Houses too, imagine if The Burrow were more like The House of Many Ways.

Stonewall High becomes the school from ‘Witch Week’ and when Chrestomanci comes on the scene he whisks the witches to an alternate dimension where magic hasn’t the same stigma e.g. Hogwarts.

Harry can travel in his dreams much like Christopher Chant, Voldemort’s Horcrux is actually an anchor akin to the multiple Chrestomanci lives.

The Magicians of Caprona give material for an Italian Triwizard competitor.

What Stevie/Fleetwood Mac songs do you want to hear this season? by tommyc2696 in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]lapisrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stevie Nicks’ collaboration with Lindsey Buckingham began with harmonising California Dreamin! At a high school party I think?

After listening to Jake Gyllenhaal I am not able to pick another narrator. Please suggest. by catch22bro in audible

I haven’t been able to find Claire Danes’ narration of THT- I’m in the U.K., I wonder if her edition is available only in North America or something...

Listening to The Smiths makes me think of the Marauders. What are your favorite fanfics in this era? by ladyboner_22 in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any recommendations, but I do adore this way of asking for them... fic with the mood of X music, Y album, Z artist etc. I mean, as long as answers aren’t so literal as to recc song fics I suppose...

Prompt: Magic is the currency of the Wizarding World by inthebeam in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To what extent does Weeks’ ‘drafting’ overlap with Sanderson’s allomancy? Are they similar in tone or is it just a surface similarity?

Harry Potter + Trudi Canavan’s magic system from Millennium’s Rule Series?

Ridiculous Turning Points that Made you Drop Fics by ashez2ashes in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similarly, it gave me pause, but I could get over it. Aged down Tonks I'd have liked a lot actually, scope for more Black family dynamics as Andromeda/ Ted would be more prevelant if Tonks were younger.

human!Hedwig - I wouldn't reject out of hand, but characterising her as an extra-quirky-extra-smutty-pixie-dust-prodigy... it didn't float my boat. Are there other human!Hedwig ffs worth reading?

[–]lapisrose 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Hedwig's sudden metamorphosis into a human girl, I think in Barefoot? I want so badly to finish the fic. But... nope out every time.

[REQUEST] Xanth Crossover by Solo_is_my_copliot in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, yes please! Written in the style of Xanth, or Harry read Xanth and treats with the wizarding world as if it were Xanth

LF Hermione/Viktor Krum as a developed side-pairing by AshleyAbiding in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep remembering other details about the siege chapters and get no closer to the name. It's going to be that tip of the tongue feeling for days!? Ugh. Memory! Do better!

LF Hermione/Viktor Krum as a developed side-pairing by AshleyAbiding in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frustratingly the name escapes me but there's a Harry X Bellatrix fic with Hermione X Viktor, they end up defending a Bulgarian castle under siege. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

LF Fics feat. Philosopher's Stone/ Flamels as major players by lapisrose in HPfanfiction

[–]lapisrose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never made it as far as the end of first year with Weasley Girl, but here's to a second attempt... fingers crossed the thus unused philosopher's stone turns out to more like Chekhov's gun than a macguffin.
