ciroccojWell, after being told that not providing a link after a lengthy quote is "like leaving the room after a good bout of foreplay - bad manners" (and, incidentally, after almost spluttering spaghetti sauce out my nose upon reading that), here's the link to the HP fic that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bear sent me, Invisible To See, which, like almost all links she sends my way, is not PG-rated. Nor is it G. The author states that she is an adult ... writing for adults -- thus the inclusion of plot, semicolons, polysyllables, word games and the occasional spot of enthusiastic shagging..
Just thought I'd put that warning in, because last time I linked to an adult-rated fic, I kinda... didn't forget it was adult-rated, exactly... but somehow the rather startlingly graphic content passed me by on first read-through. Not that I didn't notice it (I'm not utterly clueless), but I guess that, being used to backpedalling with a shriek from most graphic fic (HP and otherwise), I thought it couldn't have been that graphic if I managed to read to the end of the story. Which, um, bzzt.
So, forewarned is forearmed :) It's still good, IMHO, and here's one last quote: "This potion Madam Pomfrey's got me drinking has played merry hell with my tastebuds; so far I've established that tea tastes blue, chocolate frogs taste of anchovies and liquorice tastes like a violin playing B flat. I can only imagine what grapes will be like."

If overly-adult HP fic is not your cup of tea, here's another link:
Lupin’s Boggart Class with the Third Year Slytherins

And if anybody was wondering what 4 actors in LOTR have worked with Harrison Ford, they are:
Says Daniel: So Gimli, Aragorn, Boromir, and Eowyn all worked with Han Solo!
***
Last rehearsal before final concert of the year? Ouch. The acoustics are not great, and everybody is a little frazzled. And I, with my teeny-tiny little descant voice, ended up singing a teeny-tiny little descant solo today. Needless to say, I was not impressed. There were supposed to be two other descants with me, with, you know, audible voices. But one was at a meeting and the other hadn't been told we were it for that verse, so there I was, all by my little lonesome wandering about the high G's and A's.
Oh, and one of our pieces requires the sopranos to hit a high B. Go play it on your piano. It's high.

Off to bed :)
