argentnoelleoctober is my favorite month of the year because it leads up to Halloween!!!!!
I've been rewatching the Harry Potter movies (bc even though JKR sucks the movies are still good) and am going to watch the final one this weekend. I also finished illustrating a book for work—finally! yay! and wrote the intro essay for it! AND I now only have *2 chapters* left of my excruciatingly long Death Note fic left, one half-written, the last chapter mostly just a pile of notes, and my goal is to get it done in time to be able to post the first chapter on the entire, completed fic by Halloween on L's birthday!!!! (there will still be lots of edits to do, I have like what 6 pages of just notes on edits I want to make but if I at least finish it I feel like I can happily post the first chapter even if I haven't completed the edits yet
It's been *ages*
I've been reading a lot of Snape/Lily recently [yeah it's literally my only Harry Potter OTP idk why I don't even ship in HP universe generally], most of which were fairly bad or out of character, but there were two fics that absolutely blew me away: one was A Dream Carved from Stone, by diadelphous the other is Come Once Again and Love Me by laventadorn. "A Dream Carved from Stone" had this lovely, soft, gorgeous and beautiful writing style, one of those fics that you just want to make last as long as you can because there's something so beautiful about it—like moonlight. In my bookmarks I described it: "BEST LILY/SEVERUS FIC EVER. BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, BITTERSWEET AND LOVELY. HAPPY ENDING. ALSO my favorite Snape and Dumbledore fic by the by! gorgeous and interesting spy!Snape stuff and a really interesting Voldemort & Snape relationship too". (plus my absolute *favorite* take on dark vs light magic in HP!verse).
On the other hand, "Come Once Again and Love Me" was a total pageturner from the very beginning, and got so many characters spot-on: not only Snape and Lily but also an incredible Remus, a really awesome Dumbledore (though he doesn't appear in it much) and best of all my favorite take EVER on Eileen, nothing else can ever compare after that, it is my new headcanon for her. That story took some tropes I'm usually iffy on and made me love them, as well as telling a really lovely tale on second chances and how people have both good and bad in them in a way that ended on a really remarkably hopeful note. Both totally different stories but also totally good.
I have also been keeping up on Dracula Daily! I can't believe it is almost over again! :)
