I'm still here...

I am really wondering about certain stories...

Just a little mumble in my head.

I am reading! Quite possibly 10 separate stories at the same time... I just read Adamo Fidelitas by pixiezombie, or rather, what was posted of it. I haven't looked too hard for the rest of it (maybe it's on a personal page, or posted over at IATQO, but it hasn't been updated in 5 years! I love it though, and apparently so do/did a lot of people! It's a Dramione... :)

I just realized that people tag things... like in their posts, to narrow down searches! I will have to go through all my posts to do that! (Add tags!)

List of Stories

I do believe I will make a Twilight Fanfiction Blog in addition to my Dramione one... 

I have been switching back and forth between Twilight Fics and Potter Fics like a crazy, filling up the cache on my phone :). 

Here is a list of what I am currently reading!--

-Entranced, Twilighted

Bella is a witch, a healer, and the Cullens are new to Forks. She is a florist...

-A Licentious Proposition, AFFN, Scary Bear Hair

Malfoy has convinced Hermione to be his personal slave for a month. !!!! Post War, way sexy...

-Stranger Than Fiction, Twilighted

RPattz/KStew. Fall in love during filming!

-Water, Coloured Grey, Kissherdraco

Dramione, So painful, so beautiful... It's sort of chilling, but it makes you want to cry. 

-Irritable Grizzly Adams, Fanfiction.net

Twilight Fic, Edward left after the accident with Jasper. Bella never forgets him. Years later a chance reunion brings out the truth... 

Pretty hefty!

The Affair

I just finished The Affair by Snapes_Goddess over at AFF... It wasn't amazing, or exciting, or different... just impossibly sweet! I don't know if she meant it to be sweet at all, and in the beginning, she mention's tissues...as it was supposed to be sad. As I have never experienced such trauma, I didn't find it sad as much as... OOC sweet. It was resolved, complete, and simple.

Location: AFFN

The summary for this story is:

"Two people living lives of misery find comfort in each other, but can two wrongs ever make a right?"

Warnings: Adultery, Angst, AU/AR, HJ, Language, M/F, Oral, SoloF, SoloM

Rating: Adult ++

Length: 30 short chapters...

Time Period: Post Hogwarts, EWE I believe

How Good?: See Below

And the Smut?: See Below

Status: Complete

Pairing: Lucius/Hermione

This story is particularly soft... Really short, but complete. But nothing made me laugh out loud, or get really excited... The smut was plain, not Snapes_Goddess 's best, but it was fitting to the story.  It should be rated Adult +, at most... It's a great story for someone entering the Lumione ship, but not as risque or sexy as possible. 

The Affair was a pleasant read, a good day trip read... but not too good past that. 

Perhaps if Hermione were a bit more strong willed... And Lucius was meaner... maybe that would make sense?

So, my worst rating yet, for a story that I actually did enjoy, just not to full capacity, a 6/10.

And the smut? Fine. 

I hate to have it sound as if I didn't like it, or I didn't appreciate the story line, but I didn't like it as much as I could have. I finished it though... 

Sigh.

FInding Himself

It's not Dramione but... It's the business.
So I just finished the first novel by Minismoo called Finding Himself. It literally is a novel. While reading, I was wondering "Why the crap is this chapter so long?!!!" It took me forever to get through the first chapter, eventually thinking it must be a one-shot. And by the fourth chapter I thought it must be ending soon. It freaking when on for 38 chapters! If on paper, the author claims, it would have been an 800 page book. While reading it, I thought it must have been some sort of tomb! ( Apart from the dark dank room, I trust its a really large book as well). Er, maybe thats tome. This is my kind of story, long, dramatic, enthralling... And after Twilight, I needed more imaginings of Robert Pattinson... Yay! I'm currently on the sequel, and its proving to be just as amazing as the first, a continuance of the first book but having its own story...

Location: LiveJournal

The summary for this story is: "'The boy who almost died' has to figure out what it means that he didn't. Harry's tumultuous fifth year at Hogwarts is Cedric's seventh and final. Bound together by a shared trauma survived, both boys fall under Ministry suspicion and fire, and both undergo a 'deconstruction' of sorts in the face of that crisis. Who is Cedric Diggory? He must find himself amid rumors of war, the awkwardness of falling in love, and a crippling personal tragedy."
Warnings: This tale contains ADULT situations and imagery. Don't want to get too specific and give away surprises, but just ... be aware.
Rating: None listed, PG-13?
Length: Long. NOVEL
Time Period: Hogwarts
How Good?: OMG. Perfect for me! 9.5/10
And the Smut?: So... realistic. Not tons, its not a smut story, but its pretty good.
Status: Complete, Sequel WIP
Pairing: Cedric/Cho, Cedric/Hermione...

This story is wonderful! It's wonderful, and long, and I have to say the best edited fanfic I've read yet! Cedric, Hermione... One of the most depressing stories... I haven't cried so much from a story in ages, but it's also enlightening. It really gives a good sense of what counts, and really gives Cedric some life. Watching the movie, and reading the books, he just seemed like the most perfect person, with a happy family, and everything he could ask for (not like a Malfoy, but like someoe who's popular for popularity's sake. Not because of blood, or money, but because he's really the nicest person ever thought up.). If you want length, accuracy, and heartbreak resolved, Finding Himself is quite possibly the pest thing you'll get. I haven't found much else like it :).

I guess I can't give much away... Check out the link, the fic has its own pretty site!

The 9.5/10 is an accurate score. I'm a smut queen. I love it, and it's almost the main reason I read fanfics. So the -.5 is for the lost smut. And for Cho. That chick's retarded.

I will eventually post

I've been reading! But after Twilight, it's been Cedric fics. 

I decided to re watch GoF the other day, and decided that killing him off like that was quite ridiculous. I'm searching for any and all fics that keep him alive to finish his years at Hogwarts. I mean... he's so perfect. Like, he's a good student, he's tall and gorgeous, Quidditch Captain even! He has loving parents, and a wonderful House (Yes, I do love Hufflepuff's now). The most perfect person in the books, just gone. AHHH!

I am currently reading, literally, the best edited fanfic I've ever come across. It's like, all the emotions packed into a forever long story. I love length, grammar, and feeling. I cried within the first 10 minutes of reading. It is called Finding Himself and it even has its own website apparently :).  I promise, if you give it a look, you'll be a better person.

Prisoners of Love

Alright, I finished Prisoners of Love by LaBibliographe a few days ago, trying to get it done to second it in the Smutastic_Award nominations. This story took up much of my time, and I didn't even end up seconding it! Poop! Well, I spose here is my review!

Location: AFFN
The summary for this story is: "Hermione Granger is thrown into Azkaban for a crime she didn't commit. Someone unusual comes to her rescue."
Warnings: Angst, AU/AR, Language, M/F, OC, Oral, Anal, Preg, Death, Violence
Rating: Adult ++
Length: 41 Chapters, really long, but even longer once you get into it!
Time Period: Post war
How Good?: Really good at first, but personal preference leaves it at that. Overall, generally, it would be 8/10
And the Smut?: Great when its good! But...
Status: Complete
Pairing: Lucius/Hermione
*Currently nominated for a Smutastic_Award!

Okay, so I'm not as fresh into this story since I just spend two days reading Dumbledore's Portrait, but I'll do my best to remember.

I love long, well written stories, and this certainly fits the mold for that! It was sort of addicting, but only at first. I think it's just that I don't care for certain things in stories. It was surprising that I liked this story as much as I did, having passed over it numerous times just because it was placed in prison (in the summary). I thought that Hermione was in prison, and some how Lucius comes along and steals her away, perhaps to use her for his own little festivities. But Prisoners of Love was nothing like that.

It began wonderfully, I was so into Lucius and his need for Hermione, and I loved that Hermione was so good for him romantically (hope I'm not giving much away, it is on AFFN!). But later on, towards the middle and into the pregnancy business, it got pretty boring. I am not one for preggosex. And the big climax, at the end, was sort of weak. Like the villains and such.

Writing too much more here would give everything away, and I'll leave that to my review on AFFN. For almost everyone, this story is the business! This writer has almost 1000 reviews on this story, and exceeds it on Beyond the Veil. LaBibliographe is rather awesome to read, especially for Lumione addicts.

Dumbledore's Portrait

I just finished Dumbledore's Portrait by Dreamweaver and I have to say it was a nice, quick read! It's a common pairing for me, followed the books well, and... Oh, I don't know! It didn't really pop for me, I was expecting something really amazing to happen but it never did. Quite depressing, but it was so well written, and I was so into that I couldn't put it down!

Location: AFFN
The summary for this story is:
"7th year, Blaise begins the train journey to Hogwarts with Hermione on his mind. The trio are back too, but not for the reason most would believe"
Warnings: Lemon, Gen, AU
Rating: Adult +
Length: 10 chapters, on the long side, but still only 10 chapters
Time Period: 7th year
How Good?: Pretty good, 7/10
And the Smut?: Awesome, really descriptive and enthralling!
Status: Complete
Pairing: Hermione/Blaise, Hermione/Blaise/Draco

It really doesn't seem finished, not at all, but it is a good thing to just fill in to the books. Like, in a way, it goes along with it.
This story is very nicely written, I can't stress that enough! It's interesting, keeps you tied up in it, but towards the middle you want to keep reading, but you are still disappointed in knowing that what you want to see happen just wont. That's the main reason I gave this a 7/10...
So, if you want a quick read, with some nice smut this one is for you! But I would have definitely enjoyed 10 more chapters!

Changing of the Guard

Oh sweet babies! The Changing of the Guard by Lomonaaeren was by far the most interesting thing I've ever read. Like, out of fanfiction, this was the most original that I have come up with. And woot! I love how strong Harry is portrayed. Violations: Harry, Original. *I list these things as violations, because they violate my rules! But they don't matter! 

Location: AFFN!

The summary for this story is: 

"Need a perfect stranger? Come to Metamorphosis. Harry runs it in secret and becomes whoever's needed. Now he's posing as Draco's 'perfect' boyfriend, Brian."

Warnings: Angst, HJ, M/M, SoloM, Trans (not what you think)

Rating: Adult + (note, one plus!)

Length: LONG! 50 Chapters

Time Period: Post DH

How Good?: Genius! 9/10

And the Smut?: When its there, its good. Really sexy, very representative of the characters

Status: Complete

Pairing: Harry/Draco

Its just genius. And the characters work so well together, ALL of them. It's like, you think you'd know who would be perfect for Draco, but... Wow. 

Pros: Long, awesome plot, engaging, sexy, and you really really wanted to know Brian. He is just so perfect its ridiculous! And as Draco becomes engaged in him, and his amazingness, so does the reader. And it was based on such a great cause! It translates to the Wizarding World! And I loved how it was completely played out, didn't just stop at the hard stuff. 

Cons:... only that Draco wasn't even close magically. He was sort of weak in that respect. There's a point where greatest just becomes absurd.
